INDIAN LANDS
To Be Opened to Settlement This
Summer

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The allot-
ted lands of the eastern and southern
Ute reservation in northwest Colorado
will probably be opened to settlement
this summer by presidential proclama-
tion. Though the allotments have been
completed the question of opening has
been deferred for long time, owing to
what seems to be conceded to be grave
error in fixing the t07th meridian of
longitude.
Secretary Bliss has now taken action
and ordered the directors of the geologi-
cal survey to determine by astronomical
observation as soon as the season per
mits the correct location of the meridian
This work will not require much time
ana though the date has not yet been
sci for opening it will probably be i'm
nj diately after the adoption Of the di.
rtctors' report. II is claimed and be
lieved by the authorities that the merid-
ian is about five miles too far west, and
this involves about 10000 acres which
may inure to the benefit of the Indians.
The meridian will probably be deter
mined late in May

Candidate Hunter Charged
With Crime
MONEY OFFERED FOR VOTES
TO DECIDE KENTUcKY'S SEN
AToRIAL ELECTION
The Candidate Says 1t Is Lie and
the Public Seems Inclined to
Believe Him

Associated Press Special Wire.
FRANKFORT, Ky, April 10.-It was
known early this morning by DR., Hun
ters friends that charges of bribery
were to be sprung on him as soon as the
roll call was completed. 1t was re-
ported at that hour that an indictment
charging him with attempted bribery
was under consideration by the grand
jury and would probably be reported
upon today. 1t was not reported, how
ever, as the grand jury adjourned with
out reporting.
The grand jury has the matter under
advisement and will resume the investi-
cation Monday when eXCongressman
Wilson and Mr. Franks will be among
the witnesses. The gossip on the case
was that Captain Neil Gaines had ap-
preached Representatives Clarke and
Johns on behalf of Hunter and proposed
a money consideration for their votes
for Hunter. AS soon as the news was
out DR.. Hunter sent for Representatives
Clarke and Johns. They came and DR..
Hunter said to them, in the presence of
Attorney-genera Taylor and Mr.. Nc
Chord: "I never saw Captain Neil Gaines
in my life, nor did l n-er hear of either
Tanner or Gordon. l never solicited
Gaines or any one else to attempt to
bribe any member of this general assem-
bly,"
. Tanner and Gordon are associates of
Gaines in his accusation. Tanner is
Gaines brother-in-law. Congressman
Wilson says Gaines approached him re-
and said he had facts against Hun
ter that would ruin him and that he
would suppress them if Hunter would
give him $4,000.
Wilson spurned him and Gaines went
at once to Blackburn's headquarters. 1t
is claimed by Hunters friends that the
charges were made when the Repub-
lican nominee came within one vote of
election and it was believed that Hunter
would be elected.
CONGRESSMAN Wilson and Mr..
Franks have made full statements about
what they call the efforts to entrap them
and DR.. Hunter has shown that he did
not know and had never met the parties
offering to deliver three Silver Democrats
for a given sum
There is some reaction of sentiment
tonight in favor of Hunter by those who
regard the charges in the light of perse-
cution. Others expect sensational de-
velopments next week from the inves-
tigation of the charges of bribery.
There was no change in the ballot
ing Friday the Silver and Sound Money
Democrats and boiling Republicans re-
fusing to answer in order to break
quorum.
A motion to adjourn prevailed by
small majority.
A statement was made by ex-Con-
gresham Wilson and endorsed by Hun
ter, saying that the statement made by
Mr. Gaines is not true.
Captain Gaines. in an interview, re-
asserts the fact that his statement OF
yesterday was true and would be sub
stantiated fully by reliable witnesses.
The effect of the bribery talk on Hun
ter organization next week is still un-
certain, though his friends assert that
not a single vote will be lost by reason

M'KINLEY ANXIOUS
Over Japanese Invasion of the Ha-
waiian Islands

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The ad-
ministration has been greatly disquieted
by news reaching here from Hawaii, es-
pecially the facts that are set forth in
the news dispatches, following, as they
do, the rather dry. but very important,
statements made in the laet report from
United States Consul General Ellis
Mills at Honolulu.
The latter, after referring briefly to
the attempt of the Hawaiian govern
ment to deport the lot of japanese
coolies who had arrived from Japan in
violation of the immigration laws, gave
in a short table a comparative exhibit
of the numerical strength of the various
nationalities represented in the popula-
ton of the islands.
From this it appears. and to the fact
Consul General Mills called special at
tention, that the Japanese population
was second, and that IF the peaceful in
vasion" continued at the same rate il
has been increasing during the past
three years. it would only be matter
of year or two before the japanese
were the dominant power in the islands
Dispatches supplemented this state
ment by statements of the turning back
of japanese and of threatened resistance
to the deportation.
When the Philadelphia sailed from
San Diego a day or two ago it was said
it was the purpose of the navy to substi-
tute more creditable vessel at Honolu-
lu for the Marion. Itnow develops that
the Marion is likely to be retained or
the station, instead OF giving place to the
Philadelphia, and although il IL not ad-
mitted that any particular Significance
can be attached to the fact that the
United States will have two warshipe,
at Honolulu, it may be fairly inferred
that the administration feels that the
time is approaching when Ii must give
some actual demonstration OF the weight
it attaches to the declared policy of the
government contained in the Joint res
olution passed by congress and approved
by President Cleveland. that the United
States will not permit foreign interfer-
ence in the affairs of the Hawaiian
islands.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The report
of the department of agriculture for
April makes the average condition of
winter wheat S1.4, against 99.5 on De-
cember l, III last April and sos at the
same date in 1895.

The average rye condition was SS?
against S2.9 last year.
The condition Of the soil at the time OF
seeding was favorable throughout the
country, a few scattered counties re-
porting it too dry or too wet, so that by
December ! a crop nearly standard was
indicated. The falling off since Decem-
Der, greatest in Illinois, but strongly
shown in every neighboring state and
making an average of IS per cent for the
whole country is due to the sharp freezes
of early winter. Snow covering was am

was scanty. The deficiency caused little
damage along the Atlantic slope, where
the winter was mild and the favorab
indications continue, no important wheat
state showing a condition under 50.
The condition of witer wheat is report
ed below the average in Great Britain
and Holland. because of excessive rains,
but favora BILE in central and eastern Eu-
rope. In southern Russia there have
been extensive resolving, but the wet
weather has so delayed field work III
western Europe that the spring wheat
area will be greatly cut down, the short

Vocabulary and imbuing his utterances
Nth a degree of earnestness and feeling
that strangely influenced his auditors.
His legal reputation was based upon
his forensic powers, and 1t is an undis-
puted fact that success attended his eff
forts in many cases commonly regarded
as hopeless, owing to his ability to sway
the jury by the magnetic qualities OF
his address.
The severe strain, physical and mental,
to which Senator Voorhees, was subject
ed as leader of the majority in the sem
ate, in the campaign resulting in the
passing of the Sherman repeal law, per-
manently impaired his health.
i After the campaign he was Obliged TO
retire for long rest to his Indiana
home, and when he returned to wash
ington again it was evident TO his friends
that the splendid stock of vitality, which
had always been his most valuable pos
session. would never return.
AS time ran on the senator began TO
appreciate tals fact and for some time
he had taken the advice of his physl-
clans and friends and had done every
thing possibly to conserve his health.

This is the second time Durrant has
been sentenced to death for the same
crime. and he received this judgment
like the former one, with calm indiffer-

of death had been pronounced. made
several further attempts to secure delay
for their client, but Judge Bahrs, who
pronounced sentence, was not impressed
with the logic of Durrants attorneys
and declined to modify his sentence in
any way. The murderers' attorneys
moved successfully to strike from the
sentence order the allusion TO Durrant's
confinement in San Quentin prison, then
filed motion of appeal from the order
and asked for certificate OF probable
cause, and finally asked for a stay of
execution for four hours that the appli-
cation for a writ of probable cause
might be taken to the supreme court. All
these motions were denied. When TAX
