VIM. B. Matthews of the bar of this city
filed an appeal today in the Supreme Court
of the United States from the decision of
the United States Court of Claims in the
now celebrated case Of Marks and w ollen-
berg VS.. the United States and the Bannock
and Piute tribes of Indians, growing out Of
depredations committed in Oregon June
1878, by said Indians. This is a case of
great interest as it has been made the .est
case by the Attorney General of the United
States to settle the meaning of the words
'in amity," as they appear in the act Of
March g. 1891, Ito provide for the adjudica-
ton and payment of Indian depreda ton
claims" 1t is said that of the ten thous sand
claims now pending in the Court of Claims
under said act, at least six thousand will be
practically settled by the decision Of the
Supreme Court in this case Owing to the
large interests which depend upon this case,
1t is the intention of the Attorney General
and of the counsel for the claimants to
move for a speedy trial.

THE COMMISSIONERS CALLERS.
Little Time Left to Them for Consider.
ing Business.

The present unusual pressure for employ
ment, and the daily demand Of liquor an
plicants for consideration OF their LIQUOR
licenses. interfere seriously with the reg
ular work at the District building. Com.
missioner Ross could easily get along and
keep the wheels of government moving II
he were allowed to have a certain time to
himself for the transaction Of municfpal 4
affairs. But all day long he is besieged
in respect to offices and licenses. Fore
most among the visitors Of the Commits
sioners are the Congressman. They come
at all hours. and have no respect for the
rules Of the Office. which provide that the
building shall be closed to the public at
2 o'clock each day. Were this rule re-
spected the situation would be greatly re-
lieved. These Congressman, however. have
no regard for rules, and demand admit
tance. The citizens profit by the example.
and they insist upon sending their cards
to the Commissioners. The result can ca 4
lily be imagined. Owing to the peculiar
form Of the local government, the Commits
sioners do not like to refuse anyone admit
tance. Once the rule is broken infra ctions
become more frequent, until It is almost
a dead letter.
Commissioner Ross asked The Star re-
porter to suggest to those who desire
to see him 20 call In the morning

The news received OF the extension
of the operations of the insurgents in BrazI
and the further extension OF the state d
siege at Rio was not welcomed in ofilcia
circles here. While formal corroooratioa
has not yet been received there appears t.
b no disposition to doubt the fact that ths
insurgent cause has been gaining ground
Minister Mendonca stated that he had re
ceiyed no such news from his own govern
ment The matter OF deepest concern TO the
naval officers is the decision to protrsct the
state of siege for sixty days. which carries
II through the summer. They had hoped
that the difficulties in Brazil might have
been speedily adjusted as the result OF an
election which would be acceptable to all
elements But with the extension Of the
siege IL becomes necessary for the United
States naval vessels to remain In the torrid
weather and limited waters Of Rio bay ex-
posed to yellow fever.

An Assistant Postmaster and Other n -iais

 Washington. Sept. 13.-As the result of recent inspection of the affairs of the postofiice at Providence. R. l., Act ing Postmaster General Jones to-day ordered the dismissal of Assistant Post master Williams Of that office. with other officials. including substitute letter carrier named Abbott. two regu- lar carriers and several clerks The charge Is conspiracy among the off, cials who were removed to defrauS. the government by signing approving vouchers for work that had not been done, the person signing the vouchers. Williams, knowingly approving the same.
 It Is alleged that when vacancies were not filled tho work was allowed to devolve upon others and on pay day n willing partner, usually a substitute, would be called in to sign the voucher. From the inspectors report 1t appears that Abbott had been used frequently to sign false vouchers. knowing that others than himself had performed the work, and that he received a share of the money thus unlawfully expended, the disbursements coming from the al- lowance to the officers for expenses The government has lost considerable money and 1t is not known how long the system has been practiced.

There Were Some Surprises.

Springfield, Mass. Sept. 13-The clos ing day of the Springfield bicycle tour nament was exceptionally brilliant and was remarkable for its many surpr,s sf S.. Perhaps the chief of these was that Sanger. who had been looked upon by many as almost a sure winner of the great event of the tournament, tue one mile international record, class B, was beaten easily by E. c. Bald, who rode with wonderful skill and tact, fol- lowing the pacing tandem closely and getting around the mile with remark able ease and speed so that although Sanger spurted near the finish and was in the lead for the moment, Bald easily overhauled him and won the race.
 Next to this the most exciting event was the half-mile open, class B, which was apparently won by Bald, but was awarded by the judges to Harry Tyler who was very close to him.
