TO INSTRUCT PUYALLUPS,
An Extensive Experiment Farm
to Be Opened on the
Reservation.
Secretary Smiths Appointment of
Supervisors Ends a War in
Democratic Ranks.

TACOMA, WASH, May 11.-Private in
formation received here this evening is to
the effect that Ira r. Bamber and Joseph
Bernhard of Tacoma ard William Kelly of
Quinalt have been appointed by Secretary
Hoke Smith as overseers Of an extensive
experiment and instruction farm soon to
be established on the Puyallup Indian
reservation, which borders on this CITY.
An appropriation has already been made
for the farm by the Government The ap-
pointments are worth $1,000 a year each,
and the information is particularly in
teresting at this time, owing to a sale of
reservation lands now going on by Com
missioners from Ohio, Indiana and
Georgia, who have been here two years at
$40 per day each.
Hugh G. Wallace, the National Demo-
cratic Committeeman from this State, has
the credit of securing these agents ap-
pointments, and there is a great row in
Democratic circles of this State over the
choices made. Bamber was formerly
Wallace's private secretary and graduated
from that confidential position to the
wardenship of the Government prison on
McNeils Island, few miles from here. He
was suddenly removed from that position
a year ago because there were too many
eggs and too much sugar for the prisoners
on the bills that the Government was re-
quired to foot.
Bernhard is Republican, and there is a
great big howl at his success and a CORE
spending verbal castigation among the
rank and file of the party at Wallace. Very
little is known about Kelly.
The indian lands on the reservation sold
to-day brought $4,000. These lands are
claimed by the Indians, who are now citi-
zens of the United States, and at a meet
ing yesterday it was decided to retain pos
session of the common land and eject all
pretended purchasers. To-Day the land
was covered with notices warning all per-
sons to keep off.

TWO BEATINGS IN A DAY.
A Second Row in Which the
Speakers Son and
Chapman Figure.
SETTLING AN OLD GRUDGE.
The Participants Had Long Been
Quarreling Over Their
Business Affairs.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 11.-Hon. D. W.
Higgins, Speaker of the British Columbia
Legislature, this morning summarily ad-
ministered corporal punishment to He'd
ley Chapman, manager of the Electric
Lighting and Tramway Company in this
city. Higgins was formerly manager OF
the company, in which he still is the
largest individual shareholder, but few
months ago Chapman took the office.
Chapman is young Englishman. This
morning he had Just been warmly arguing
a point with man having claim against
the company when Speaker Higgins en-
tered the Office and took down an account
book which, as shareholder, he presumably
had right to examine.
Chapman came up" said Mr.. Higgins.
in giving his account of the fracas, land in
an offensive tone said, You can't make
any notes out of that book ooh, yes |
can. and will, 1 replied.
"Then he Kissed in my ear, "a boodler
should not suspect others OF boodling.
What do you mean, sir?' | demanded.
DO you dare to call me a boodler?' He
repeated the expression, and landed one
in the eve. He could not defend himself,
but Just tried to scratch. Three or four
people came in and held US, and l left the
place. Chapman has been most insulting
to me for long time, and l am only sur
prised that 1 have not thrashed him be-
FORE"
After his exciting experience of the
morning Chapman went this afternoon to
the baseball park to watch the first pane
of the season between Seattle and Victoria.
While seated upon the grand stand, which
was thronged with spectators, he was sud-
denly confronted by William Higgins, a
son of the Speaker, who is an athlete.
He beckoned to Chapman, who, think
ing it prudent to be interviewed in less
public place, quietly followed young Hig-
gins to shady corner.
what did you mean by calling my
father a boodler?" young Higgins de-
manded.
II don't know that I have to discuss it
with you," Chapman replied.
mo, you had better not" said Higgins,
and he followed the words with a swift
blow on Chapman's already blackened eye
and another on the right eye. Then, plac-
ing Chapman's head in chancery, he ad-
mlnistered liberal punishment.
Speaker Higgins was until few years
ago proprietor and editor of the Colonist,
published in this city.

ENGLAND,S LATEST WHIM.
Refuses to Renesc One Feature of tn
Reffna Sea Agreement.

BeTtfa0 Sea d0TeeNent.
VICTORIA, B. c., May 1.-THE collec-
tor of customs received official advice that
Great Britain has refused to renew the
agreement with the United States respect
ing the sealing up of arms of all schooners
setting out for Boring Sea during the close
season, and also permitting the search of
any vessel found during such time in pro-
hibited waters.
Last year the vessels left here in July, in
order to be in Boring Sea at the opening of
the hunting season at the beginning of
August, with sealed arms and called at
Ounalaska to have the seals broken. 1t is
believed that the refusal of the British
Government is because of the United
States neglect to provide for the payment
of the indemnity agreed upon.
