CAPTAIN JACKS MoDocs STARVING,
Remnants of the Lava Bed Indians
Fast Passing Away.

Redding. Cal, April 6.-Word comes
from Modoc county that a remnant of
Captain Jacks tribe of Indians now liv-
ing in that country in the neighborhood
of the scenes of Captain Jacks treach-
cry and General Canby's death in 1872,
are now in a ptiable condition verging
on actual starvation.
In all there are about 100 of the tribe
left. The winter has been a severe one,
the snow is deep and the Indians have
been unable to obtain the necessities of
life.
A party of two bucks and 10 squaws
struggled into Alturas from the lava
beds to get food, but the whites were not
charitably disposed to the Modocs. SO
hungry were they that they stripped a
dead cow to the bones and carried away
what was left.
1t is reported that their number has
been reduced one-half this winter by
death due to starvation and exposure.
There is no reservation and no appeal to
the United States government.

CROWN PRINCE OF JAPAN NOT DEAD
Legation at Washington Has n Dis
patch DENYING the RepOrt.

Washington, April z.-The japanese le-
cation received a dispatch today from the
consul general at San Francisco saying
that the recent report of the death of the
crown prince of Japan and the succession,
of Prince Arsgowa as heir apparent were
entirely unfounded. 1t is believed that
the dispatch is the result of an official in
quiry by the consul general. The legation
here never credited the report, as no word
of it was sent out by the government,
and a matter of this Importance, 1t is
said, would be quickly communicated to
all foreign representatives.

er Binger Hermann of the general land

cal survey also were there.
Senator Wilson of Washington and SEN
ator Shoup of Idaho represented the west

decision to forward to congress in a day
or two a proposed amendment to the sun
dry civil bill, to be framed on the lines of
the McRae bill, which has been before
both houses of congress in various forms,
and is now pending in the senate. This
amendment will authorize the secretary
to prescribe such rules and regulations
for the government of the forest reserves

the reservations for legitimate mining
purposes, and will preserve also the rights
to agricultural and mining settlers on the
reservations. The amendment gives au-
thorty for the suspension of the opera
ton of the presidential proclamation re-
serving forest reservations, and provides
for the survey Of the reserved tracts by
the geological survey, approprating $780,

Washington April 6.-Hon. w. j. Bry-
an, late democratic candidate for the
presidency, drew a large crowd in the
United States supreme court where he
argued the maximum freight rate case
in behalf of the state of Nebraska The
decision of the case viii determine the
consututionality of the law of 1893, fixing
minimum rate for freight charges on
the part of the railroads operating In the
state. The railroad companies enjoined
the state officials from carrying out the
provisions of the law on the ground
among others, that the rate fixed was not
sufficient for the maintenance of the
roads. The state appeals the case, which
is considered of great Importance, be-
cause of its bearing upon similar con-
tentions in other states.

General Agents of Western Roads
Prnnnse TO Ennct strict LnWs.

Chicago, April 2.-The general passen-
ger agents of the western roads met to-
day to formulate an agreement under
which the Western Passenger association
will be conducted hereafter. The agree
ment will not be in effect until after the
legal departments of the roads have been
given an opportunity to pass upon it. The
chances are that the compact will be in
force next week The terrors OF the inter
state commerce commission are to be held
over the heads Of possible offenders and
when a road IS caught the others will
make it interesting before the commission
for the delinquent. 1t is thought that in
this way rates can be better maintained
than by the enforcement of a penalty
clause IN the agreement.
