HAVE THEY STRUCK 1T
The Lincoln's Passengers May Be Mil
lionaires by This Time.

Many stories, some visionary enough TO
have originated in a dream. are told to ac-
count for the non-appoarance OF the
schooner Lincoln. which left here March :
for Cook Inlet with twenty miners and five
sailors aboard. The lover OF mystery dis
poses Of the supposition that the schooner
has been blown over to the coast of Japan
and is now working her way back. with
eontemptuous gesture and says; The
Lincoln will turn up at Port TOWNSEND
one OF these DAYS loaded down with rich
ore. II is well known fact that hedges
exist In Bering sea which run down 10 the
waters edge. The party on the Lincoln
may have a Tip on some such location and
are now in Beriug sea. hacking hunks of
quartz from a ledge on the edge OF the
water.
Even the widest rumors generally nave
a foundation OF some kind and several
stories are told from which such a one
might grow.

IT'S OVER.

After all the bOmbastic fuss and flu.
rore of che Mexican and Texan gov
ernments the FitzsimmOns-M aher fight,
if fight it could be called, took place
on schedule time. Maher lasted just
80 seconds, while the world and James
J. Corbett waited with bated breath.
For months the pugilists have talked
war, talked so loud and long that in
ternational tangles of the moment
were overshadowed by the prospective
awfulness Of the coming fight. 1t gave
several governments endless trouble.
Such g state of war has not been seer
in Arkansas since the wah, sab! AT
one time several regiments of state
guards were under arms, ready to take
the field at any moment to keep the
their respective a~dversaries. The gov
ernor of Texas has not yet squared
himself with his wife for calling an ex-
ira session of the legislature which
passed an anti-pug law in two hours by
a stof-watch in direct opposition to
her wishes. To smooth matters over
he got her a pass to Chicago, and while
she WIS enjoying herself at his ex-
pense, she got even by telling an Asso-
ciated Press reporter the troubles of
the Culbertson family. Probably next
to drawing his salary the governor OF
the Mexican province Coahuila has
not expo ienced more trouble than
that caused him by the pugs. He
swore by his patron saint CHATS the
only method Of making blue air in
Mexico) that he would stop the fight if
he had to call out all the regulars of
the Mexican army. But the fight
came off on schedule time and it is
safe to say that Maher saw mo s'ars
in less seconds than he ever will again.

MONTANA AT WASHINGTON.

The agreement with the Blackfeet
Indians for the. cession, of 800, 600 acres
is in some respects better and others
worse. For instance, it is provided
that the price to be paid shall be 50
per acre, but it declares that the land
shall not be open for settlement except
under the mineral laws Of the United
States. 1t il not possible that all this
land is mineral and no doubt a very
large portion of the wocld never be
taken. Here is where the worst feat
ure of the bill appears. The Indians
are allowed to go upon the coded por-
ton of the reservation, as long a the
lands remain public lands and r. TAX
en- for mineral purposes, and they cut
and emove wood and timber for all
purposes, hunt upon the lands, fish
the streams, and, in fact, have a gen.
eral rowing permit to leave their re-
%servation and circulate among the
people who may take the lands in
different localities and make general
%nuisances of themselves. 1t is safe to
say that congress will greatly modify
this treaty before it becomes law. 1t
is possible, under a rule adopted in one
congress to modify a treaty made by
law and not 60 through the formality
of submitting it again to the Indians.
This has been done in the case of the
Co,v.lle reservation in Washington. If
the president will approve it can be
d one in regard to the Blackteet reser-
walton in Montana. But it is no sure
thing that he will approve. The
treaty as framed will be far from salts
factory to the people of Montana. The
commission say in their report that
the land to be ceded is wholly unfit
for anything except mineral and graz
ing purposes. 1t is another case where
the Indians have land worthless to
themselves and want the government
t. purchase it at a high price in order
that the whites may make it valuable.
The senate committee on Indian af-
fairs has reported %favorably upon Sen
ator's Mantle bill providing for a COM
mission to negotiate with the Crow and
Flathead Indians for the session of a
portion of their lands. An amendment
has been made to the bill providing
that the government shall pay the tax
es on the allotted lands of these In
dams. The whole trouble with ego
tiations thus far made, especially in
late years, is that they are made by
commissions composed of men who
know little Or nothing about the coun-
try where the Indians reside, and who
seem to think it is their duty to give
the Indians nearly everything they
neutrality-suspicious. Helena indie
