Pail Mall Gazette Publishes an Interview
Regarding Central Pacific Bonds.
LONDON, March 21.-The Pail Mall
Gazette publishes an interview with
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, formerly
COMPTROLLER of the national debt Office,
who has just returned from the United
States, where he has been in consulta-
ton with the United States government
as the representative of British holders
of Central Pacific bonds. He is quoted
to have said that he found the executive
all right, and Secretary Carlisle
to be businesslike and reason
able. According to Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson, Secretary Carlisle
stated that he would rather not touch a
dollar of the debt owing by the railway
than that the Central Pacific should be
subjected to the pound of flesh prin-
ciple. The government, Sir Charles
added, was prepared to accept the prin-
cipal of the debt, foregoing interest,
but in his opinion, the result was doubt
full owing to the temper of the next
congress-, which he is quoted as assert
ing contains some wild people, social
istically."

NEED NOT SELL LAND
indians Are Advised to Hold
Onto Their Several Res
erVatiOnS.
DIVIDING THEM EQUITABLY
And Leasing to Farmers What
They Do Not Wish to
Use.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Indian
office, under the direction and supervi-
sion of Secretary Smith, will find con-
siderable work provided for in the last
Indian appropriation bill, which will
keep it quite busy during the coming
season. Among other things authorized
in the bill, is the appointments of a COM
mission to negotiate with the Belknap
Indians for the sale to- the United States
Of a portion Of their reservation in the
North Central portion Of the State Of
Montana; ALSO to negotiate with the
Rlackfeet Indians for the sale of a por-
tom of their reservations in thsnorth-
western part of the same state.
Not,Adtissd to, Sell.
Secretary Smith, has said to:alI Of the
Nisiting delegations of Indians, no mat
ser from what portion of. the country
they came, that if they have no desire
to sell their lands. the department has
no purpose to urge.them tosdo Sc; that
he prefers they should keep their lands
where they can make use Of them.
To one delegation he recently said.
he thought it would be a good thing if
they would divide their reservation
tracts among themselves in some equit-
able manner, and farm such portions as
they could, and lease the remainder to
farmers who would pay them a reason
BILE sum for the privilege. In. the case
of the Balknap and Bkackfeet Indians,
it may be found advantageous to the
Indians to dispose of a portion Of their
lands, as the area is considered. much
larger than they can handle judiciously.

KILLING OF JOE WHITE.

Trial OF tho Slayers Of the Chief Attract
ing Much Alteration.
SHELL LAKE, Wis, March 21.-The
case of the state against Deputy State
Game Warden Horace M. Martin and
his assistant, Joseph G. Hicks, charged
with the killing of Indian Chief Joe
White last December, is before the Cir.
cult court.
The case has created such intense in.
terest that it is with the utmost diff
Guilty that a jury is being secured. The
state has exhausted 10 of it's 10 peremp-
tory challenges and the defense have
exhausted 80 of their 48. They are en-
titled to ia venires.
A sensation was created by Judge
Meade, one of Martins attorneys, when
he moved that District Attorney Web
ster Class be barred from prosecuting
the case, az he had accepted a retainer
from the defendants at the time of the
preliminary examination, which was
just before he went into Office last Jan
uary. Mr.. Class filed an affidavit to the
contrary and was permitted to continue
the prosecution.
This is one of the most conspicuous
murder trials aver held in northern Wis.
consin and it is being eagerly watched.
1t will NO doubt take several days to try
it, as over so witnesses have been sub.
p9aend.

WASHINGTON, March, 21.-Senator

prospect of an amicabla settlement of

replied:
"UnfcEtunately the laser reports make

had hoped it would be otherwise, and
that Spain would assume such a beiig-
erent tone that it would be necessary
for the United States to go over and
take possession of Cuba. We certainly
ought to have that island in order to
round UP our possessions as they should
be, and if we cannot buy it, I for one,
should like to have, an opportunity to

Inasmuch as Mr.. Frye is a member OF
the senate committee on foreign rela-
lions. his utterances possess consider

the early revival of efforts to acquire.

MI. Morgan, chairman OF the CONF
mittee, has also expressed himself as
favorable to the requirement OF the

If All Reports Are True Senator Fair Elk
ecuted Numerous Last Testaments.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 21.-The legal
contest over the $40, 600, 900 left by the
late James G.. Fair has been a topic Of
general discussion here since the pro-
duction of the latest will in the probate
court. It is now rumored that still an.
other and later will is in existence. The
report is that 10 days before his death,
Fair executed another autographs will
and entrusted it to the keeping of Mrs.
Bessie Paxton, sister of the wife OF
Colonel Warfield, proprietor Of the Cal.
ifornia hotel. The late millionaire and
the Warfields were friends. Mrs. Pax.
ton has left the city for. Los Angeles and
the rumor cannot be verified. Rumors
of other alleged wills were also heard,
and it is limited that it may be shown
that the late millionaire had a mania for
executing last wills and testaments and
entrusting them to the keeping of his
lady friends.

EAGLES ON THEIR HATS.

A Now Decoration Likely to Be Given to
American Officers.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The prob
abilities are that in the near future the
officers of the United States army will
take on another designation of rank, in
the shape of a metallic eagle to be worn
on the front of their hats. The ques-
ton is under advisement among the
head officials of the war department,
and it is understood that the project is
very favorably regarded by many Of
them. Some Of the army officers are
urging it on the ground that in Euro
pean countries the officers wear on their
hats the colors of their sovereign. They
hold that it is a plain and unmistakable
evidence of nationality as well as Of
rank and military service, and that as
the eagle is the national American en-
blem,. it can be adopted to the benefit of
the service.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 81. = 1t is stated
here that an effort is being made in
Newfoundland to add enormously to the
demands of the colony when the terms
of it's admission to the dominion are
considered: The latest proposition is
that Canada should tunnel the straits
of Belle Isle in order to give the island
all rail connection with Canada. This,
it is urged, would confer special advan-
take upon Canada, reducing the sea
voyage to England by one-third and
rendering it possible to convey passen-
gers from Montreal to Liverpool in 1903
hours. Where it Is proposed the tunnel
is to be built, the straits are about 1871
miles wide, and the land formation is
said to be favorable to the undertak-
ing.
