INDIAN LANDS.
Agreement Between the Government
and the SiIetz Tribe.

Agreement Between the Government
and the Siletz Tribe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Secretary
of the Interior sent to Congress this
morning an agreement between the Gov
eminent Commission and the Siletz In
dams for the cession of their unallotted
lands in the Oregon Reservation. except
ing five sections. The Indians are to re-
ceive SIZE, 800, $1,000 of which shall be
deposited in the Treasury to bear interest
at per cent, the remainder TO be paid to
adult male and female and married In
dams, $50 each. The Indians may be
furnished supplies on the reservation at
cost in lieu of money. One hundred and
eighteen Indians sign the agreement.
The quantity of land allotted was Is, 900
acres. The aggregate of the reserved and
allotted lands is 46, 40 acres. The guam
tity of land coded is $4,000 acres. The
commissioners say the lands are mostly
mountainous and densely timbered with
good fir and cedar, and well watered with
running streams, which will furnish good
means of getting timber and lumber out.
The best land was allotted to Indians,
but there yet remains some good timber
land and some rich, valuable bottom
land. The Commissioner of Indian At
fairs makes no recommendation as to the
time and manner of opening the ceded
lands to settlement, leaving the matter to
the discretion of Congress.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
YOKOHAMA, Jan. 1S.-The Government
refuses to accede TO the reductions made
by the House in the expenditures budget.
The Lower House accordingly postponed
its meeting five days in order to give the
Government time to reconsider its deci-
sion. The dissolution OF Parliament is
expected as a result.
a petition signed by lightweight per-
sons has been presented TO the House of
Representatives, asking that all British
be expelled from the country. The native
papers are very bitter against the British.
The collision between the Japanese man
ot-war Chisima and the Peninsula and
Oriental steamship Ravenna, in which
the warship was sunk and her crew
drowned, has caused considerable ILL
feeling. Notwithstanding the fact that
an inquiry cleared the Ravenna from all
blame, it is said that the japanese Gov
eminent will bring an action for damages
against the steamship company. The
Japanese pilot, who was in charge of the
Ravenna, is being tried for manslaue liter.

Efforts Being Taken to Break Up
Their Business of selling Crews.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The sixteenth annual
meeting of the Chamber Of Shipping of
the United Kingdom commenced to-day.
Among the resolutions introduced was
one requesting the Board of Trade to try
to secure a convention with the United
States Government and Great Britain to
stop crimping and preventing the deser-
ton OF British seamen in United States
ports. 1t is complained that at San Fran
cisco in particular crimping is carried on
to an extent most injurious to the British
mercantile marine. Boarding-masters
go aboard incoming ships and tempt men
ashore, where, in certain class of board
lighthouses, crews are kept and piled
with liquor.
After the vessel is discharged and the
outward cargo taken in the boarding.
master boards the ship and practically
sells the men back to the master at an
eXorbltant charge. Efforts, it is stated,
have been made many times during the
past ten years to conclude Il convention
against crimping with the United States,
and Chamberlain, when in America, was
almost successful in carrying the con-
vention through. The resolution was
brought forward by the General Ship
Owners Society of London, with the en-
tire concurrence of the British Board of

THE SILVER PROBLEM.
Poll of the Senate on the Repeal of the
Sherman Act.

SHERMAN ACT.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Republican
members of the Senate, under the direc
ton of Sherman, completed the poll of
the Senate on the proposed repeal of the
Sherman Silver Act of 1890. 1t is said
the result is not at all satisfactory to those
who have looked forward to the possible
repeal of the Act. According to common
report, tits discovered that there are only
about eight members on the Democratic
side who can be depended upon to vote
for the repeal, and the result is even more
discouraging on the Republican side.
There are some Senator'S who would vote
for the repeal if the measure came to a
vote, but who Will not vote to bring the
matter under consideration. 1t is also
understood that there is a majority of
seven or eight on the Republican side of
the chamber against bringing the meas
ure to a vote.
AN EXTRA SESSION MAY RESULT.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l.-"Unless this
Congress acts on silver and repeats the
Sherman bill, Grover Cleveland will call
an extra session of Congress within
thirty days of March 4th.' This in
AOi lAidNAOA was SANCil " totlldlOT
the next Secretary of the Treasury. and
to-day Don Dickinson arrived direct from
Lakewood to unite with Carlisle to make
4 final attempt to act on the silver ques-
ton this session. Dickinson and Carlisle
have absolute authority from Cleveland
to put the screws down and tell the men,
bers that, unless Cleveland is obeyed in
this matter, he will not listen to them in
regard 10 patronage or favors of any sort.
Carlisle retires from the Senate on Satur-
day, and he will devote the rest of his
time acting for Cleveland and demanding
that action be taken on this subject at
this session. If, however, the mission OF
Dickinson and Carlisle fails, then the
President-elect will call an extra session.
and notices will be served on all men,
bers that the President will not consider
patronage until the extra session settles
the silver question. Dickinson spent
over an hour with Speaker Crisp in his
room in a private conference to-day, and
also went on the floor of the House. At
o'clock he went to the Senate for another
conference with Carlisle.

Ot course" said ThurSton, "our adj
mission as State is out of the question.
Our admission under the laws governing
Territories would be equally unsatisfac-
tory to the United States and representa-
lives of the Provisional Government
Our position is peculiar one. Popular
government is out of the question, and
still popular government in some modi-
fed form is the only thing that will sat-
isfy our people. Most of us are agreed
we would get the best results from gov
eminent similar to that which England
gives her colonies.
1.-THE people must not think that the
natives of Hawaii are opposed to the pro-
posed action of the Provisional Govern
ment in seeking protection from the
Government of the United States.
Many natives, in fact large majority,
never have been in sympathy with the
native ruler, and only cliqud, that lived
and grew rich on the tavors of the de-
posed Queen, have any serious objections
to the proposed Government. The re-
ports of the recent revolution have been
very accurate as far as details are con-
cerned, but no idea can be given people
living in the United States of the flimsy
excuses and subterfuges by which the
Queen sought to force the new Constitu-
ton upon the people, that would make
her despot with more power than the
Car OF Russia ever coveted. If their
plans had been successful, the white
people would have been forced 10 aban-
don their interests and would have been
absolutely compelled to leave the islands.
WHAT THE ENGLISH ARE AFTER.
Boston, Feb. Joseph n. White, a
prominent business man, who left Hon
olulu on January 18th says. 1.-The Eng
fish colony, though small numerically,
assumes great strength because of its
open sympathy with the natives. They
are in favor of native government, and
do not aid the propagation of American
ideas. In plain words, it is this: The
English are working slowly to the end
that England may get the islands, and
she is bound to get them if possible on
account of their strategic value"
While in Honolulu White met, among
other prominent gentlemen, Commander
Macarthur of the British warship Daphne.
White asked the commander if he i'm
United States tried to get the islands. The
Captain said he though the English would
most seriously object.
THE QUEEN CHANGES HER MIND.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Hawaiian Charge
d. Atfaires has received no dispatches
from Hawaii by way of New Zealand,
although the Alameda has arrived at
Auckland from Honolulu, and he is of
the opinion that the Queen has changed
her mind about the appeal to Great Brit
am. and has sent statement to Washing
ton, which will arrive on the next steam
er at San Francisco.
GERMANY'S ATTITUDE,
BERLIN, Feb. 1.-The inquiry of the
Berlin Foreign Office in regard to the at
tltude of Germany on the Hawaiian stu
alton elected a semi-of1icial reply to the
effect that Germany at present is passive,
but if the United States should annex
Hawaii Germany might demand a slight
compensation elsewhere.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
SAN Francisco, Feb. IA daring at
tempt was made to rob Mrs. A. n. Towne
at the office of the California State
Woman's Hospital, on Sacramento street,
between Lyon and Baker, this afternoon.
A speak thief entered the Office and
snatched box containing 81 OIL in coin
from Mrs. Towne, who is President of
the institution.
The fellow dashed out of the door with
the money. but the lady's screams at
tracted the attention of pedestrians out
side, who pursued the criminal, effected
his capture and recovered the stolen
money.
At the City Prison the prisoner gave
the name of Jacob Reinhardt, and said
he was cigar-maker by occupation, and
had come from Los Angeles but two
days ago. He is a smooth faced young
fellow, and rather good-looking. He is
very dark-complexioned. He was we'll
dressed, but had no money in his pockets.
He said he was but 20 years of age, and
was from Salt Lake City, where his rela-
tives now reside.
To-day was payday at the hospital,
and large amount of money had been
taken to the Office with which to meet bills
and pay the wages of the employees. This
fact had probably come to the knowledge
OF the thief, and he had planned the rob-
berry which was so.nearly successful.

were demands at many points for special
trains to bring people here to see the I'M
paralleled punishment of the fend for an
unparalleled crime, and, when the news
OF the burning went over the country like
wildfire at every country town, anvils
doomed forth the announcement.
In less time than it takes to relate it,
the tortured man was burned into crisp,
and in little while thereafter nothing
was left of the whole funeral pile but
pieces of charcoal, which before night
fall were carried away by curiosity
seekers.
1t is stated that Smiths motive for the
crime was that when drunk and dis
orderly once he was arrested by Officer
Vance, who was compelled to use his
club on him. For this the regro swore
vengeance, and several times assaulted
Vance. The climax of his fiendishness
came Thursday, when he committed the
awful crime for which he has paid the
last penalty.
Vance is Frustrated with grief, and his
wife lies at deaths door from nervous
prostration.

however, for any member to make some

the bill will try to send it to conference
early, in order that it may be disposed of

Judge Searls Thinks 1t is Hardly Sat-
isfactory.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Judge Niles
Searls of California, who is here to look
after the interests of the miners. says the
hydraulic mining bill will probably pass
the Senate within a few days. No at
tempt will be made to further amend the
bill as reported by the Senate Mines and
Mining Committee, but when it goes
back to the House an endeavor will be
made to modify the penalty prescribed
against the miners. Judge Searls says
1t is hardly satisfactory as it now stands
before the Senate. They will seek to
change it so that the penalty against the
miners cannot be enforced until the Gov
eminent Commission is organized, and
has issued licenses to mine. Under the
bill as it stands, prosecutions could be
commenced Immediately upon the pas
sage of the bill and licenses from the Gov
eminent Commissioners might not be
issued for several months thereafter.
Mr.. Searls says that with this change the
bill will be satisfactory to most of the
miners, although some of the smaller
ones will object to procuring licenses at
all. Stewart, FELTON, and Caminetti are
believee to be favorable to the change
suggested by Searls, they representing
the miners.
