Baseball

Last Saturday witnessed the open
ing of the baseball season for the North
western university Athletics. The first
game was played at Waukesha with
Carroll college. The contest was an
exciting one, but by the good work of
the n. w. U. boys resulted in their
favor Score, y to s. Batteries,
n. w. u, Redlin and Heimerl; Carroll,
Cahill and Mccoy. Base hits, Carroll,
Z; N. w. o., 8. Errors, n. w. u, 2;
Carroll, 4.
Next Saturday will occur one of the
fercest games of the season, n. w. U.
Athletics VS.. Delafield. on the formers
grounds. The latter team has the
championship forWisconsin at present,
winning a game from Madison by 4
to O. Everything, therefore, tends
to make it an interesting game. Next
Wednesday the team of Carroll col
lege will play return game here.
AS there viii probably be very little
done by Watertown teams in the base
ball field this season, the n. w. U.
boys will try to play as many games on
the home grounds as possible for the
benefit Of the Watertown sports.

SECRETARY SMITHS LETTER
In Reply to Delegate FIynn's
Resolution,
Asking tho Reasons for Delay in the Al
lotment of Lands on the wichita Res
ervation to the Indians and the Open-
ing Of the Surplus Land to Settlement.
His wife's Cousin Attorney for the
wicbita's.

WASHINGTON, Dsc. 94.-The Speaker
laid before the House to day letter
from the Secretary Of the Interior trans.
hitting a reply to Delegate Fiynn's
resolution, asking the reasons for delay
in the allotment Of lands on the Wichita
reservation to the Indians and the OPEN
ing OF the surplus land to settlement.
The Secretary shows that the lands &C.
cupied by the Wichita Indians are part
OF what Is known as the leased district
coded by the Choctaws and Ohickasaws
to the United States. There is, the
Secretary shows, a difference of opinion
as to whether TIE Cnoctaws and Chicks-
saws conveyed to the United States an
absolute title to the lands, or II they
ceded them only for the purpose of al
lowing them to be used to be located
upon.
The matter ie now before the court
OF claims for adjudication and the Sec
rotary saws he has delayed suggesting
to the President the appointment Of
allotting agents On account OF dlsad-
vsntages which might accrue from hav-
Ing allottments made and the surplus
lands thrown open to settlement before
the claim OF tho Ohoctaws and Chick
asaws is adjusted. The litigation before
the court of claims certainly involves
the title Of the lands to be allotted as
we'll as the lands to be opened.
AS to the inquiry whether any O; the
Secretary'a connections or relations by
blood or marriage are acting as st-
torneys for the Indians or any party or
any parties interested In delaying the
| opening OF tho same to settlemens, the
Secretary says: "Anorew A. Lipcomb,
| of Washington, Is the husband of q
second cousin Of my wife. He is one of
the counsel for the Wichitas growing
out Of the claim Of the Choctaws and
| Chickasaws for the revisionsry interest
In the land occupied by the Wichitas. 1
attach copy OF the contract made by
the Wichitas with their attorneys.
1t Will DO seen the compensation of
the counsel for the Wiohitas ia to be q
| percentage OF the money received from
the tale OF the land in case 1t ig decided
that the Choctaws and Ohickassws have
no revisionary interest In those lands
1 am not aware of any interest which
the counsel for the Wichitas can have
Ia delaying the allotment and sale OF
the surplus lands. No one has ever sug-
| gested an interest or desire on their
| part or their clients part for delay. No
connection or relation by blood or mar
riage of mine Is acting as attorney for
any party or parties interested in de-
laying the opening of the lsnds to set.

In the matter OF the boundary COM

only one consideration namely, that the
mem bers shall be men Of international
reputation for their high character and

the greater care in his selections for
the reason that the work of the com.
