THEIR ANCESTRAL ESTATE
Two Ohio Men Claim Seven Million Acr es
and Two Large Cities

Washington, Nov. 16.-An immense
claim embracing 1000, 900 acres of land
in the northwest and including the cities
of Minneapolis and st. Paul, was bl ought
before Commissioner Herman of the gen
eral land office today and the assist
ance of the government in securing Of
fetal data was called for. The claim
ants are c. B. Holloway of Holland,
Onio and A. L. Gum of Maumee Ohio
They are now making an examination
of general land office records with a
view to securing copies of certified pa
pers which they assert will establish
their title to the lands claimed by them.
Their ancestor, through whom they
claim title, was Jonathan Carver, an
Englishman and a we'll known explorer
in the last century Carver lived among
the Indians Of the northwest, mostly in
what is now Minnesota and Wisconsin,
and for a time ne was adopted by some
of the tribes, including the NawdaniSsia,
who made him chief and, for valua bic
services rendered, it Is claimed by the
heirs presented him the vast tract. They
asset that this tribal act was ratified
both by King George III. and the Con-
tinental congress.
Gum claims he is grea t-grandson Of
Carver, and that Holloway's wife is the
grest-granddaughter. A representative
of the heirs mad a long interview With
Land Commissioner Herman today in
which their contentious were explained.
The department will render whatever
assistance is possible in the way of Sc
curing information.
The case was presented to the land
office today by George P. Rose of Mich
igan, who claims as heir through Cap
tain Levi Thayer, who purchased por-
ton of the tract from Jonathan Carver
by deed. President Monroe. on April
%, 1922, sent a message to congress re-
garding the claim of Carver about the
Falls OF st. Anthony and three years
later the committee on private land
claims OF the house made an adverse
report. The grant, according TO papers
filed today, was made by the two hiefs
OF the tribe on May l 1867.

WRECKED CREWS RESCUED
Steamer Belgenlaud Brings In FifteeI
Helpless Mariners

Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-The closing
Belgenland, which arrived today from
Liverpool, was eventful. On Sunday
morning the waterlogged and saiiless
schooner Wylie L. Maxwell was lighted
and she was taken in tow, to the great
relief of her crew of ten men, the YES

from the small boat and lost. Captain
Hodgson resided at Somerville, Mass,
and leaves a widow, two daughters and
a son. The Theodore Dean left South
AnDoy on Friday last for Norfolk, with
a cargo of coal. When off Absecon
Light she lost her mainsail and on Sat-
urday at noon,- when forty-five miles
east of northeast of Barnagat, she
sprung a leak. a plank having been torn
from her side. The vessel filed rapid
", and with four feet OF water in her
hold the captain. at 1870 p. m, ordered
the small boat lowered and the crew, six
men all told, left the snip. An hour la
ter the vessel was seen to sink. There
was heavy sea and tremendous gale
and the small boat was kept TO rights
with great difficulty. AT $50 o'clock the
boat was raised almost on end and Cap
tain Hodgson was swept overheard. The
oars were also lost and those in the boat
we're left helpless. The boat drifted
from that time until o'clock Monday
morning, when ii was sighted by the
and the men rescued from

the Hatred Generated In the German
Traders Heart 1t Seeing His American
Market Taken Away From Him and
Given to Americans-Germau Press
Rabid on the Subject, Urging Reprisais
and Murderous Competition

Washington, Nov. 16.-Consul Mona
CHAN at Chemnitz, in a report TO the
state department ON Ger1nany's exports
to the United States. says:
Germany is alarmed. Exports TO the
United States are dropping off. Nothing
so alarming has appeared in twenty
years. America was always the best GUS
toner in many different lines Of manu-
features. In the September quarter Of
| 1896, seventeen consular districts sent 10
the United States goods amounting TO
s14, 4S1, Ais. In the same quarter in 1897
| the same districts sent S7,1S9,112. The
average loss all over the empire is near
| ly 80 per cent. In many cases this indi-
Gates much more than mere money loss
to our revenues. 1t indicates a diminu-
ton in exports from this empire, due 10
| the Dingley bill. The public is told TO
put little confidence in newspaper re-
ports, even if accurate. Each issue urges
Intelligent efforts to retain the United
States market.
Consul Monaghan quotes from paper
which says that some Of the falling off
is due TO the rush of goods 10 get ahead
of the Dinglew law, but adds that Ger
many must suffer severe losses on ac-
count of the tariff bill. Some papers
suggest raising import duties to retail
ate, especially in the matter Of sugar.
One paper says:
I'VE can break off now because OF
Americas inconsiderate, almost hostile,
action and attitude. The most favored
clause has been violated. The universal
opinion favors retaliation. We use, but
we do not need, American meats, cotton,
corn and petroleum. We must fight her
inch by inch over every line Of goods
that go out into markets to meet ours.
The government must be given full
power TO put reprisals into operation.
When the rsich and liant tags get togeth-
er ways and means must be found for
forcing the United States from its pres
ent position. We must wait and see how
much damage Mr.. Dngley's bill has
done or will do. Mr.. McKinley's bill
was as bad in its way as Dingley's. 1t
did little real damage"
The paper next counsels against hasty
action and adds:
1.-THE consciousness that we can count
upon weapons with which to make war
aggressive or defensive is enough now.
Corn, cotton and petroleum they must
sell. 1t is not so certain that we must
buy from them. Russia, India and Egypt
are as near TO us. They have cotton and
petroleum. But we will wait. Not timid,
because the only way to have effect on
Americans is by a display of sharp
teeth
Consul Monaghan says that the above |
is a fair illustration of newspaper feel
ing in Germany regarding the loss of !
trade. He also says that every effort is
being made to make up for the loss of |
markets in the United States by increas- |!
ing trade in every other part of the |
world.

Albany, y. Y, Nov. 1s.-Bishop VIII
liam Croswell Doane. in his annual ad-
dress to the clergy OF the diocese of
Albany today, speaking Of the relation
OF America TO England in the Lambeth
conference, was very intense in his oon-
demnation OF what is called 'jingoism.' -
Re lating to the report upon the sub
ject OF international arbitration, he
said:
There can be no question out that
within thel asst two or three years. from
various causes and with some fault on
both sides, the minds of men nave been
accustomed 60 the thought OF a posi-
bic resort to arms as the settlement OF
national questions between England
and America. With our many extreme
experiences of partisan violence, the
English government, the English people
and the English press have been most
patient; but unless We come 10 recognize
more than We do recklessness OF speech,
the facility Of rousing prejudices and
the the danger OF provoking even the
v-o+f L -
about state of things infinitely dis
graceful and infinitely dangerous to our
Christianity and civilization
Bishop Doane said the spirit OF hos
tility so openly expressed on this side
the water was present, though latent, in
England and We should be careful how
We aroused this feeling to active hostil-
fly.
IF, as has been suggested he added,
''the old revolutionary spirit that re-
garded England as tyrant is still kept
alive by our school books Of history.
then ii is time the text books We're
changed"
