PoRr TOWNSEND. Feb. 13.-TSpecial. i
Acvices from Alaska concerning the fate
OF Morris Orton and party of ten miners
indicate that the men have been murdered
by Indians or lost at sea in trying to cross
the stormy waters of Cross sound to
fakotu island. Searching parties have
hunted six weeks for the missing miners
without success, and all hopes of
ever recovering the bodies have been
abandoned. The Indians in remote
places seldom visited by warships are
hostile and many murders and robberies
are committed by them. Orton's party
left Lituya bay in November for Juneau,
but were never heard from again. Citi-
zens of Sitka organized and besought Com
mander Maynard of the warship Pinta TO
go to the rescue. it being thought the men
were lost in the woods and in danger of
starvation. Maynard refused to go and
said his ship was unseaworthy and the
trip would only endanger the lives of
his crew of fifty men. He consid-
cred that the missing men were beyond
human aid. A relief party was organized
and a sailing vessel was sent to search for
the lost miners but no traces were found.
The recent hostile acts of Indians in the
neighborhood confirm the fears that the
men were killed and robbed by the Indians
and the bodies thrown into the sea.
There is great deal of complaint that
Alaska has no laws and there are so few
whites here that the Indians cannon be
kept in subiection but are in many places
hostile and human life is not
safe among them; that the authori-
ties in Alaska are too lenient and
that numerous outrages are committed by
Indians which go unpunished. White
settlers are very much aroused since the
attempted capture of fishing vessel
month ago which resulted in the death of
leader of the Indians. The country's
wild and unsettled condition makes it i'm
possible to prevent lawlessness, and as
the whites increase in numbers the Indians
become jealous and hostilities become
more frequent.

his land for more than two years. The
state OF Washington having already re-
moved the restriction on its part, the
title of each patentee will be perfect
when congress shall also consent to such
removal The value of the land Is fixed
by the commission at $27j. 80 per acre. and
the whole value of the allotted lands az
Si,166, $50. Some of the lands near the
city are deemed worth 5000 per acre
The water front alone has been estimated
TO be worth some millions of dollars. The
commission holds that the agency tract Of
unallotted lands is still the property of the
United States and not of the Indians, and
the secretary is of the opinion that under
the treaty this agency tract should be
treated as the common property of the
tribe and, if sold, should be sold as such.
As TO whether the reservation embraces
land between high and low water mark,
the secretary gives his opinion in the
negative. As TO restricting the power of
alienation by the Indians of their allotted
lands, the secretary says: at would seem
to be the duty Of the government to super
wise any disposition that might be made
of the allotted land to the end that the
Indians might not in any way be de-
frauded." Then follow many suggestions
for the protection of the Indians against
fraud and providing for any emergencies
that may arise in their dealings with white
men, rs well as fixing the methods for
ascertaining who are the heirs of the
allotters

EX-SPEAKER REEDS AMBITION,
To Go to Minneapolis and Fight Both
Harrison and RIaine.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 13.-[Special. /
There is q story in circulation today to
the effect that ex-Speaker Reed wants to
go to the Minneapolis convention as
delegate-at-large from Maine, and that he
is to be opposed by both the Blaine and
Harrison people. 1t is well known that
Blaine and Reed are bitter enemies, and
it is also well known that Reed has no
use for the present chief executive 1t is
claimed that Reed says he will be chosen.
while Joe Manley. Blaine's alleged chief
lieutenant, says that he will not. There
is sure to be pretty fight over the matter,
and the chances are that the Portland
man will be defeated Mr.. Reed has
maintained, since Mr.. Blaine wrote his let
ter of declination, that he did not believe
he would decline the nomination if it was
rendered him. Reed does not want to
give Blaine any opportunity in this direc-
ton, and neither does he want to see Har-
rison nominated. 1t is his belief now that
his election as delegate-at-large would en-
able him to pay off some old scores which
he owes the president and Mr.. Blaine. and
that possibly he and other anti-adminis-
tration men might work up a sentiment
in favor of some other candidate than
Harrison, thereby accomplishing his de-
feat for denomination at the Minneapolis
convention.
That Reeds selection as a delegate
would be opposed by both the Blaine and
Harrison forces, is not doubted. They are
deterIniped to rout him if possible. The
Harrison men are openly saying that
Reeds only purpose in going to Minneap-
oils is ito make mischief" and create a
disturbance generally.
