FORCING THE PRESIDENTS HAND.
Effort to Secure the Opening of the
Ute Reservation.

Effort to Secure the Opening of the
Ute Reservation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-An important
amendment has been made to the Indian APP
preparation bill by the senate, which pro-
vides for different course tEan heretofore
adopted for opening lands to settlement.
The amendment lis as follows: THAT all
parts of the Uncompahgre reservations In the
state of Utah, except such lands as have
been heretofore allotted or selected for al
lotment to said Indians Is hereby declared
open to public entry under the land laws of
the United States; provided that no one per-
son shall be allowed to make more than
four claims on lands containing gllsonite."
Some years ago the treaty ceding their
lands was ratified and in the ratification pro-
vision was made for oIening the lands by
proclamation of the president, Acting on
the advice of the secretary Of the interior
the president has not issued the proclamation
and several times the secretary has requested
additional legislation concerning the asphalt
deposits on the ceded iands. No further
legislation has been granted by congress,
but instead resolutions have been introduced
calling upon the secretary to have the lands
opened. Some bitter criticisms were made
upon the secretary in the last session of the
senate for his refusal to Issue the proclama-
tion This amendment to the Indian bill IL
passed, will compel the opening. II Is pos
slble, however, the bill may be vetoed be-
cause of this very provision, which assumes
an executive function.

to protect our rights respecting the MIC
araguan canal.

session to consider the arbitration treaty.
CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-The News Washing
to special says: 1t looks as If the arbitra-
tion treaty might be kept before the SEN
ate this week and then be crowded out
of further consideration by appropriation
bills. In the light OF interviews with sew
eral prominent republican senator's, the
fate OF the treaty seems sealed for the pres
ent congress. Senators Hoar of Massa-
chusetts. Gear of Iowa and Davis of Mime
sofa all express the opinion that the treaty
will not be ratified at this session at least.

CANNOT AGREE on a WOOL TARIFF.
Growers ana Manufacturers Find
IheIr Inieresls IrrecnnciIulIc.


WASHINGTON Feb. 12.-After a series OF
conferences extending over several days The
wool growers and wool manufacturers have
failed to adjust their differences over the
duty to be recommended to the ways and
means committee and have departed for their
homes. The differences between the two
bodies were found to be irreconclable. The
growers were unwilling to consent to rates
at which they declared they could not con-
tinue to produce wool with profit and the
manufacturers maintained that the rates of
the growers were higher than was proper or
polite. si
According to the statements OF the manu-
facturers the growers onamed these as the
very lowest rates of duty they were willing
to accept In return for support OF the manu-
facturers: Twelve cents a pound on class
l and class woolsj double duty on washed
and triple duty ON secured; cents pound
on all carpet woods and double and triple duty
on washed and secured, and cents pound
additional duty on all skirted wools.
The growers assert that these rates are
the lowest that would protect the industry
to such an extent as to build up the breed
Ing OF sheep and the production of wool in
this country. The manufacturers, on the
other hand. declare that such tariff would
be disastrous to their industry

work of Republican Members OF
Ways and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The republican
members of the ways and means committee
today decided upon the rates for pulp and
printing paper and important items in the
meat schedules. The duties on pulp were
changed from ad valorem in the Wilson act,
which makes them 10 per cent. to specific
duties somewhat below the Mckinley rates.
The new rates compared with the Mckinley
rates: Mechanically ground wood pulp, new
rate, lip of a cent per pound; Mckinley
rate $3.50 per ton. Chemical wood pulp,
unbleached, new rate, 1-6 of cent per
pound; Mckinley rate, So per ton. Chemical
wood pulp, bleached, new rate, u of a cent
per pound; Mckinley rate 81 per ton.
On printing paper suitable for only books
and newspapers the Wilson rate, which is
Is per cent ad valorem in both classes, un-
sized and sized or glued, Is retained. In the
Mckinley law the unsiZed was Is per cent
and the sized 20 per cent The pulp paper
manufacturers recommended that the ad
valorem rate on pulp be changed to equiv
alent specific rates and that the duty on
paper be left unchanged.
In the schedule the conference ordered to
continue the present rate on nickel and zinc,
which are: Nickel, nickel oxide. alloy in
which nickel is the article of chief value,
6 cents per pound; zinc in blocks or pigs,
1 cent per pound; in sheets, not polished
nor further advanced than rolled, one-half
cent a pound; zinc, old and fit only to be
remanufactured, three-fourths of cent per
pound.
The Mckinley rate on type metal was re-
stored. 1t is IA cents pound for the lead
contained in the metal and Is per cent ad
vacrem on new types, The present rates
arc three fourths of a cent and 10 per cent
ad valorem.

Constable j. n. Clanton was
shot in the thigh one day last
week by negro whom he was
trying to capture. The Darling
ton correspondent to the News
and Courier gives this account of
the matter;
Chief Dargan and his assistants
have just completed another fine
piece of work. Several robberies
and some burglaries have recently
occurred here, and this morning
four men and two women were
lodged in Jail with indisputable
evidence against them. All are
colored, and quite lively scene
transpired at the depot to day
when one of the men was captur-
ed. He was waring some stolen
clothes and fled when he was ap-
preached. Constable Clanton
pursued him, though the negro
had long start. AS he fled he
fired seven shots at Mr.. Clanton
and the constable returned the
fire. No one was hit at first, but
the negro got in a ditch and fired
his last shot inilicting a painful
but not dangerous wound in Mr..
Clanton's thigh. Another shot
from Clanton stuck the negro on
the right side of the frontal bone
and glanced off, which saved his
life.
The negro was captured with
the Others and all are in Jail. The
robberies were committed i'm

pally on the trains. Among the
