SAYS HE IS IN ON NO DEAL.
Statement by Deputy United States
District Attorney Robertson.


Il am in no way connected with any
party of men now upon the reservation,
or located along the line of the reSerVa-
ton. waiting to go upon it when 1T IS
opened said Deputy United States Dis
trct Attorney Robertson THE south
half of the reservation is not open to
mineral locations or to prospectors, and
any person who, after being warned TO
leave by the Indian agent or his officers,
refuses to do SO, in my opinion not only
fOrfeits all right to acquire any interest
on the reservation, but also renders HIM
self liable to criminal prosecution. [ am
not interested with Mr.. Warren or with
Mr. Hughes, or with any one else seeking
to gain any unlawful advantage on this
reservation. | hope the bill opening the
reservation will have the same provision
that the bill opening Oklahoma contained,
that is. that any person in the strip to be
opened before the bill became a law could
not acquire any rights at all upon the
strip. This gives all fair chance. | am
satisfied that no conspiracy exists on the
part Of federal officials to make any loca-
tions on the south half of the reservation.
I make this statement in justice to my
self as | expect to live in Spokane, and
do not desire to rest under the imputa-
ton OF attempting to use my office for un-
lawful gains.
mo man who is upon the reservation
before the bill becomes a law will acquire
any better right than a person who goes
there after the reservation is open; in
fact | am satisfied that in a contest IN
volving this question the court would de-
eide against the sooner, both upon sound
principles Of pubic policy and because the
reServa ton is not now open for prospect
ing: and person upon the reservation
is a trespasser, and as such can acquire
no rights. With the north half of the res
ervation it was different. 1t was opened
in 1892 in my opinion, and if the locators
who made the locations in 1892 had rot
abandoned their claims, the mines in that
portion of Stevens county would now be
far advanced in development

THE RESERVE IS CLOSED
HOUSE CONFEREES REFUSE TO AC-
CEPT SENATE AMENDMENT.
WILL BE NO MINERAL LOCATIONS
Senator Wilson'S Friends and 9th
ers Barred From Rich Claims
on COlyille Lands.

Washington, March 2.-The house con-
ferees today refused to accept the senate
amendment in regard to the Colville res
ervation which was published in full in
the The Spokesman-ReveWr recently. Sen
ator Wilson said tonight his amendment
was defea ted. This is due he said,
partly to the rush made into the reSer-
walton before the provision for opening 1t
had been enacted into law" The amend
ment that came over from the house was
an Indian bureau amendment providing
for lease Of mineral locations subject to
the approval of the tribal council and
secretary of The interior. This would have
placed mineral locations in the south half
of the reservation entirely control of
the Indian agent and secretary of the in
terror, and if the agent was so disposed
he might operate against people wishing
to lease locations.
The amendment Senator Wilson favored
provided for opening the south half to
mineral location without any approval of
the Indian agent, secretary of the interior
or consultation with the tribes. Mr.. Doo-
little said today his amendment which
Senator Wilson's had killed was the only
one the department would recommend,
and that he was satisfied now neither
would be left in the bill. In support of his
amendment, Senator Wilson said tonight
he thought if the reservation was to be
The Indian Bureau Objected.
1t developed today in the conference
committee that the real opposition to the
senate amendment came from the Indian
bureau. Commissioner Browning sent a
strong letter to Chairman Sherman Of the
house committee on Indian affairs, urg
ing him to resist the senate amendment in
conference and have it stricken from the
bill. From conversations tonight with
conferees of the senate there is good iea
son to believe in the next report on the
bill Senator Wilson'S amendment will be
stricken out, but Mr.. Doolittle's will not
be restored.
In the event, however. that the Wilson
amendment is retained, the opinion Of
Acting Attorney General Holmes Conrad
regarding when the reservation opening
goes into effect will be of interest He
told your correspondent today positively
that should the president sign the Indian
bill with that provision contained therein,
it would be a law at that moment.

little secured the insertion of an amend
ment giving the Indians authority to lease
grazing and mineral lands on the reSerVa-
ton The United States statutes pro-
vide
THAT where lands are occupied by M
dians who have bought and paid for the
same and which lands are not needed for
farming and agricultural purposes, and
are not desired for individual allotmentS,
the same may be leased by the authority
Of the council speaking for such Indians,
for a period not to exceed five years, for
grazing or 10 years for mining purposes,
in such quantities and upon such terms
and conditions as the agent in charge of
such reservation may recommend, subject
to the approval of the secretary of the in
teriOr.''
Mr.. DoolittleS amendment provided that
the provisions of this law 'be. and the
same are hereby, extended, so far as the
same relates to leasing for mining pur-
poses, to the lands embraced in that part
Of the Colville Indian reservation, in the
state of Washington, not restored to the
public domain by the act of June 20, 1892.
When the bin as thus amended went to
the senate Senator Wilson secured the
adoption of the following amendment as
Il substitute for Mr.. Doolittle's amend
ment in the house:
THAT the mineral lands only in the Col
Nllle l1lulan RESERVATION, III lHe state Cl
Washington. shall be subject to entry un-
der the laws of the United States in le
lation to the entry of mineral lands: Pro-
Vided, That lands allotted to the Indians
or used by the government for any pur-
pose or by any school shall not be subject
to entry under this provision
The matter therefore stands as follows:
The Doolittle plan for leases has passed
the house, the Wilson amendment for
opening has passed the senate. The bill
is in the hands Of a conference commit
tee of members of both houses, and be-
fore this conference committee Mr.. DoO-
little is urging his plan, and Senator Will
son his. Neither wants to recede. Men
While reports of the schemes of federal
officials in this state have reached the de-
partment and congress, and there is dan
ger that both amendments will be strick
en- out, and the reservation remain closed.
Numerous kilograms We're sent yesterday
to Representative Doolittle urging him to
yield and support the opening amendment

WILL Be INCORPORATED
THE VICTORIA LEGISLATURE HAS
ACTED FAVORAEiY.
ONLY TWO SMALL AMENDMENTS.
Nelson Had one Hundred and Sixty
Acres Additional Given to
the Town Area.

Victoria B. c.. March 2.-The act for
speedy incorporation of towns was passed
today, after a lively fight to introduce
several amendments by Rogers of Cafl-
boo, who was unsuccessful however, eX-
cept in one provision which commended
itself to the house, viz. empowering
towns to own their own electric lighting
plants for public or domestic uses Rog-
ers first moved to make the power of
new towns to borrow money for the pres
ent year subject to the lieutenant gov
ernor in council. This brought out strong
objections and the opposition tried II
make out that the government was really
responsible for the amendment proposed
and that they had put Rogers up to move
it, as they were afraid to take the re
sponsiblity themselves. The premier,
though not opposing the amendment, dis
claimed any responsibility on the part OF
the government for introducing it, and
in the division the amendment was lost
by II to 8, not at all On party lines, even
members of the cabinet voting on differ
ent sides.
Another amendment proposed by Rogers
was to force towns if they wanted to go
in for their own lighting water works
to purchase by arbitra ton any private
works now supplying towns This brought
vigorous opposition, both kootenay mem
bers being among those who protested.
Hume stated that the present water
works at Nelson were quite useless and
it would be a waste Of money to force the
town to purchase them. The premier took
a similar view and the amendment was
knocked out. AS a telegram received by
the attorney general stated that petl-
ton from the people of Nelson was on
the way asking that the south division,
containing 160 acres be included in the
town area, an amendment to this effect
was agreed to, and a petition from a num-
Der of Grand Forks people objected alto
gether to the Incorporation of the town.
but had no effect, and with changes al
ready outlined the bill passed and the
premier announced that to put the act
into effect as promptly as possible the
lieutenant governor would be asked to
give his assent to the bill at once. instead
of waiting until the end Of the session, as
is the usual custom

GOLDEN GOAL is FAR REMOVED.
Senator Wilson's Friends Expected
Re First ON Rich CI.ai1,aS

Numerous cipher telegrams passed be-
tween United States Senator Wilson at
Washington and his syndicate friends in
this city yesterday. They We're all in
relation to the proposed opening of The
south half of the Colville reservation.
Spokane members of the syndicate want
ed definite advance news of the date of
opening. and Mr.. Wilson could not give
them assurance. for the reason that the
matter has become involved in a tangle
between the two houses of congress- and
the reservation may not be opened at all.
He did telegraph his assurance, however.
that he would insist upon the sdoption Of
his amendment for the opening Of the res
erva tion and would continue to oppose
Congressman Doolittles amendment for
the leasing of mineral lands by the Indian
agent. Senator Wilson telegraphed that
he thought the question would be settled
today, and that the indications were. if
the lands We're opened, that the bill would
be signed by about 9 o'clock on the morn
ing of the 4th or about noon by Spokane
time. By the provisions of his amendment
the reservation would be open the mo-
ment the president signed the bill.
1t is said upon good authority that the
Wilson syndicate includes Clarence Ide
candidate for United States marshal; \.
W. Strong. former register of the land
office in Spokane: J. H. Hughes, former
receiver of the same office; Arthur j.
Shaw. former postmaster; Judge j. Il.
Moore. Judge Norman Buck, Fred Leg
horn, w. Fl. Ludden and S. A. Wells.
Last evening the syndicate was con-
sidering the advisability of sending an
other party of men out over the Central
Washington this morning They are re
lying upon Senator Wilson'S advantage to
secure news in advance of all other
sources of information. Mr.. Wilson will
probably learn of the fate Of the measure
in advance of the conference report in
open session.
A we'll Informed person said last evening
that he was convinced the Wilson forces
were working independently Of the syn
dicate of federal office holders. The lat
ter syndicate is said to include Indian
Agent Newman United States District
Attorney Brinker, his assistant, F. G.
Robertson, United States Marshal Drake,
Deputy Marshal Sam Vinson, Hugh Wal
lace and Collector of the Port Saunders.
But another well Informed person eX-
pressed the conviction that United States
Marshal Drake is not in on the deal It
is believed that these federal officials
stand back of Joe Warren, Felix Pugh,
Clay Fruit and Bill Hughes, now in camp
on a sand bar in the Columbia river, but
another report claims that these men are
operating on their "oWn hook

BRIBERY CHARGES IN KANSAS.
Warrants Issued for Nen Alleged to
Have Offered Them.

Topeka, kas., March 2.-Direct charges
OF bribery and attempted bribery We're
made before the senate today. The
charges We're made in open sssion. The
names of the accused We're spoken out
right, and warrants We're issued for the
arrest of the culDrits. One of the two
men Implicated was arrested before he
could make his escape from the capitol
building. The alleged bribery is the out
come of an attempt made by the populist
majority in the state legislature to force a
reduction of charges levied by the Kan
sis City Stock Yards Company, which are
in the state Of Kansas. The charges for
feeding and charges of commission are
most seriously opposed. \ bill had been
introduced covering these points and
seemed sure TO become a law, but at a
late hour an opposition measure, known
as the Hanna bill. was forced to the front.
The Hanna bill is said to have the appro-
val of the stock yard people. and it was
when this measure seemed likely to he
forced through that the charges of cor
fUptiOn were made
Senator Jumper had just concluded a
fiery speech in opposition to Hannas bill

Lieutenant Governor Hervey quickly
ordered that all doors of the senate cham
Der be locked. that no one might escape,
and warrants We're at once issued for the
culprits.
Boyd could not be found, but the ser
gcant-at-arms arrested Tucher in the sem
ate toilet room. where he had hidden. He
was locked up in the chief clerk room.
He refused to say a word.
Another sensation was created few
miutes later when it was reported chat
Senator johnson had telephoned to Boyd,
advising him to flee Senator Johnson
IGse to a question of personal privilege
and branded the story as a malicious

voted that Mccormick should be brought

A SHOCKING DEATH ON A TUG.
Fireman Thompson Literally Killed
by Inches.

Seattle, WASH. March 1.-Albert Thomp-
son, a fireman on the tug Mystic, was lit
orally killed by inches Sunday morning,
under the most horrfying circumstances.
The shocking accident occurred just as
the boat was working slowly out into tie
stream. Thompson was shutting off
drain cock, when he Slipped and fell rom
the platform into the cockpit, six feet be-
low. In some manner not clearly eX-
planned, both legs were caught by the re-
vclving crank, and he was wound UP in
the machinery to his hips. AS the throt-
tie was only a third open, he stopped the
engine, and his cries brought the engineer
to his aid.
A desperate effort was made to release
the suffering man, but after the horritied
crew had worked half an hour, only one
leg had been released. 1t was then found
impossible to eXtricate the remaining leg,
and q surgeon was brought aboard to am
putate it. Thompson died few minutes
after this operation, 1t took 10 minutes
to pick the pieces of flesh out of the ma
chinery.

ARE IN CAMP on TWO SANDBARS.
Rival Forces Are Heavily Armed.
Alert and DeternineI.


Alert and Determined.
Spokane men just in from the front re-
port a picturesque scene at the mouth OF
Hunter creek In the Columbia at that
point are two bare sand bars. The larger
one is called Rogers bar, and about 30
determined men are in camp there They
are outside of the official pale, and are
largely ranchers from the surrounding
country Charlie May of Davenport has
a company Of men there in camp, and
Pat Dillon Of the same place has another.
All these men are heavily armed.
Just below the bar, and separated from
it by a channel of water, is a small bar.
There Warren, Pugh, Fruit and Hughes
have pitched their tent. They are also
heavily armed. Both parties have boats
in readiness to pull across to the forbid
den ground Immediately on receipt Of
news that the reservation is opened"
THE Columbia at this point runs north
and south" said The Spokesman-Review's s
informant. "The west bank is on the res
ervation. The rich placer ground is
thought to extend for a mile along the
reservation shore opposite these bars. me
river makes a slight bend there, and the
theory is that this bend has caught the
gold as it was washed down the river.
All sorts of stories are told about its
richness One man informed me that ne
had prospected the ground thorough ly,
and had frequently gotten dollar TO the
pan. The coveted ground lies on a behcil
about 90 or 80 feet above the water, ana
this bench extends back for probably a
mile. There is old Indian burlal
ground just across from the small sahd
bar. With an equal start the men on
the small bar would have the advantage
as they would have pull in boats prop
ably a quarter of a mile shorter that tlat
ahead of the men on the large bar. Inc
desired placers are now pretty well pa
trolled by Indian police, and am con
vinced that Agent Newman IS not per

CHEERS GIVEN Ar ATHENS
A SPIRITED MEETING OF THE
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
London Chronicle Says Emperor
William Is Furious at the
British Government.

! Athens, March l.-At a crowded meet
ing of the chamber of deputies today
Premier Del Yannis announced, in the
most positive terms. that it was the
Turks who had provoked the fleets OF
the powers to lombard Canea
The minister Of marine read to the
chamber injunctions addressed by the
foreign admirals to the commodore OF
the Greek fleet, 1orpidding either sea
or land attack upon occupied fortresses,
or attack of the Greek forces upon Turks
in the interior, and stating that any at
tempt at evasion of these injunctions
would be repelled by the combined fleets
Of the powers.
This created great sensation in the
chamber Deputy Seas asserted the reply
of the Greek government should have
been a declaration of war.
The minister of marine, resuming, said
the government had notified the powers
that it would be impossible to impose
such condition of inactivity upon Colo
mel Vassos He stated further that
Greece would use all means in her pow
er to prevent the landing of Turkish
troops in Crete, but would resist an at
tack upon occupied towns so long as oc-
cupation lasted.
Premier Del Yannis again Indignantly
protested against the bombardment as an
unjust savage and impious act, mex
plicable under the spirit or letter of in
terna tional law. Greece, he said, had
instructed her officers abroad to protest
against the bombardment to the respec-
tive governments to which they Were
accredited
I'VE are convinced" he concluded, that
the admirals of the foreign fleet acted
without instructions. We are small
nation and can not prevent such acts,
but we protest with all the force OF a
great people, knowing that we have all
the great peoples with US in the protest. .
Prolonged cheers greeted the utterances
Of Premier Del Yannis.
1t is stated that the Greek Commodore
Reincke was recalled from Crete, osten-
sibly on the ground Of i'll health, and
that he will be replaced by Captain
