one charging him with forgery Of a
$1,000 check.
Recently Parsons made a complete
restitution Of the stolen property and

Parsons be nolle pressed. The bill stated
that the prisoner had returned all Of the

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 2S.-Captain e. L.
Howe has designated Jan. 10 as the day
for his boomers to move upon the
Wichita reservation II no action toward
opening it shall have been taken by
congress previous to that date. The in
structions Of Secretary Bliss that the

the Indian police" said Howe yesterday
in advising his men. "All We want is
our right according to law and the law
allows us to go into the Wichita noun
tains. We purpose to go about this mat
ter peaceably. We shall ask congress
when that body convenes to open the
reservation or allow us to so into the
mountains and take claims. We shall
wait reasonable time and if our petit
ton is not granted we shall move upon
the land.
I've got the men to do it, and If
these Indian police or agents interfere
there will be graves all over the reser-
walton, and many a regular will lie
down with the rest. too, il the federal
troops interfere. There is no use to
agitate the matter. but the federal au-

Nov. Ex-senator Pettigrew, of South
Dakota, and ex-senator Dubois, Of
Idaho, left for San Francisco today.
Both men are practically against an
nexation. 1t is a change of front on
the part Of Dubois. When he was a
member Of the senate L. A. Thurston,
who was then Hawaiian minister at
Washington, remarked and repeated
frequently that Senator Dubois was one
OF the most enthusiastic supporters of
the annexation proposal. In a recent
speech before a meeting of Hawaiians
at Hilo, Hawaii, Pettigrew said: I'VE
came to your island for the purpose Of
ascertaining what the people who live
in this country thought about the Ques-
ton of annexation of the islands, and
also to see what We could learn about
the desirabiiity Of annexing these ISL
ands, If We found the people wanted
them annexed on the part of the United
States
Il have supposed that many Of your
people were in favor of annexation, be-
cause it has been SO represented; but
l have talked to many and have failed
to find a native Hawaiian who is not
opposed to annexation to the United
States ard in favor of your own govern
ment. I shall tell what l have seen and
