WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-In Q report to the
commissioner OF Indian affairs. Professor
Putnam, In charge OF the chronological ex-
hibit at the worlds fair. denounces rs
falsehoods the charges made by Miss
Sickles, chairman Of the Universal Peace
union, that brutal and cruel exhibitions
OF the Indian sun dance had been given
at the fair. Tho accusations are charac-
terized as misrepresentation. There has
boen no representation of the Indian sun
dance and not single Indian belonging
to the United States has taken part In any
exhibition, except the Navajoes. who have
been quietly sitting in hut weaving and
making silver work. The Indians from
Vancouver island, who ore entirely out
side the Jurisdiction OF the United States,
have given exhibitions, performing cere-
monial songs and dances. One ceremony
consists OF juRglery, when the Indian
pretend TO beat themselves with clubs and
appear to become covered with blood.
These clubs have little tubes made OF
kolp, filed with red paint. This paint 10
forced out when the tubes are pressed
against the body aud this gives the mp
pearance of blood. Even this exhibition,
which is pure jugglery. like those of the
Hindoos and others, Is in itself of consid-
erable scientific importance and interest
as illustrating n custom which has been
in existence among those people from
time immemorial. 1t was only performed
once, and then by the wish ef the Indians
themselves, without previous knowledge,
and they were directed not to givo the ex.
hibition again.

Cherokee Opening lnves,igation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The house COM
mittee on public lands held q special
meeting to-day to hear Hudson, populist
OF Kansas, upon q resolution he intro
'duced, asking the committee to investi-
gnte charges against the civil and military
authorities for alleged outrages at the
opening of tho Cherokee outlet. Hudson
said he knew from perfectly reliable au-
thority that persons were allowed to enter
the lands from the east side, getting an
advantage over other intending settlers.
He asserted that he did not believe the
interior department was in any way re-
sponsible for the troubles, but il was cer-
tain that it's men were responsible and it
was due to the department that an inves-
tication be had. He read newspaper artl.
cles charging that registry receipts wore
sold and purchased with the knowledge
and connivance Of officials. After further
testimony Of general character the com.
mittee decided to meet Monday to oon.
slider the question as TO whether or not an
investigation 10 necessary.
