RESTITUTION TO INDIANS.
The klamath Reservation Survey
Found to BE Incorrect.

The klamath Reservation Survey
Found to BE Incorrect.
The report of the klamath boundary
commission has been submitted to Secre-
tary Francis. and will be transmitted to
Congress. The commission consists of W.
P. Coleman of st. Louis, No.. chairman,
and r. P. Hammond Of California and L
D. Applegate Of Oregon. The issue of the
investigation. which was begun early in
October, is an Indian claim for land out
side of the present reservation in Oregon,
on the north and east boundaries, probably
aggregating 1.250,0O0 acres. The commits
sion reports that the survey made by the
United States government In 1871 was de-
Iective and not In accordance with the
lines described by the treaty making the
reservation. The commission found no
difficulty in harmonizing the testimony of
the Indians and the language OF the treaty
on the western boundary, where the sur
veyor made his first error. Here the In
dfans lost 1900 acres. The northern
boundary line claimed by the Indians is re-
jeeted- The error on the west line caused
a loss of about 1900 acres more to the In
dams on the north line, which the COM
mission now restore in rectifying the north
and west line The main point of the con-
troyersy was the large area left out on the
eastern side of the reservation. Here the
Indians claim was clearly established. The
commission accordingly awards the Indians
between 10000 and 475.O0O acres there
making total award of Gil, ,490 acres. The
report places a valuation of SO 3fi-1OO cents
per acre, aggregating $685. go This is
recommended to be paid one-fourth in cash.

MIR. FRANCIS NOMINATION

COnsideRed In Executive Session, but
no Astt0a Taken.
The Senate in executive session today had
up for time the nomination of David R.
Francis to be Secretary of the interior,
but no action was taken. Senator Vest Ct
Missouri was the principal opponent OF
confrma ton. but he was also seconded by
Senator Pugh of Alabama.
Both of these senators made speeches
against the confirmation. and alleged
various reasons. The conduct of Mr.. Fran
els during the campaign was mentioned
and Mr.. Vest referred to the letter which
Secretary Francis wrote supporting the
Indianapolis, ticket and opposing the rega-
lar democratic ticket nominated at Chicago.
Several senators announced their inten-
tion Of voting for the confirmation of Sec
retary Francis. and the prospects of his
confirmation are good; In fact. 1t is stated
that only few votes viii be cast in op-
position.
Senator White (Cal) said that while he
did not approve Of the course Of Secretary
Francis during the campaign. he would
vote for his confirmation. Both democrats
and republicans who are silver men stated
that they would vote for confirmation, and
that 1t was a foregone conclusion tha.
when the vote was taken the Secretary
will be confirmed.

THE ARBITRATION TREATY,

Some Opposition Disclosed i'm the
Senate Foreign Relations COmnatttee.
The Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions today had under consideration the
general arbitration treaty recently negefi-
ated between the government of this coun-
try and that Of Great Britain, but did not
reach any conclusion as to the proper dis
position to be made of 1t.
The meeting served to develop the fact
that the committee is a unit in favor of the
general principle of arbitration between ma
tions, but it was made evident that each
individual was likely to have his own ideas
as to how this desired result should be at
tanned.
The committee decided to recommend
to the Senate to make the treaty public
The Senate later in the day, in executive
session, adopted the recommendation of the
foreign relations committee for the re-
moval Of the Injunction of secrecy from
the arbitration treaty.

Walk to His inauguration

OLYMPIA. Wash, January 13-Govern-
or-elect john r. Rogers will be inaugurated
this afternoon at o'clock. Heretofore re-
tiring executive and incoming governors
have always headed procession Of state
officials in carriages to the capitol, where
the inaugural ceremonies are held. A COM
mittee Of arrangements planned the cere-
monies this time in conformity with the es-
tablished custom, but Governor-elect Rog-
ers refused to consider the carriage propo-
sition, saying ne preferred to start his off,
cial career with the utmost simplicity.
He will walk from his boarding house to
the capitol as if he were going on an ordi-
nary mission. accompanied by a number of
his friends. The military features of the
Inauguration have been dispensed with at
Rogers request. and there will be no pa
rade.
The governor will take no part in the in
auguration ball. contenting himself with re-
ceiying the public at a reception in the
evening. The governors position with re-
gard to the arrangements has entirely up
set the committee on program, and has
caused no end of comment.

American Sugar Company resulted in the
election of the old board of directors and
the adoption of a resolution indorsing the
past achievements of the management.
The suggestion yel.ured yesterday that
the advance i'm the stock was due largely
to wish for complete representation at
the meeting was verified by a decline of
per cent following the adjournment. The
booming of the stock for purposes of rep

in the street at the close of yesterdays
business.

Union Pacific foreclosure proceedings will
be undertaken at an early date, the gov

depressed slightly during the day. but the
opinion prevails that support will be met

The election of two new directors for
Tennessee Coal and Iron was announced
during the day, the stock yielding, in the
case of Sugar, after the object of recent
purchases had been fulfilled.
Money continues to be plentiful, and for
lack of better employment is seeking in

more favorable to the lender than here at
