LEGISLATIVE RECONCILIATION.

The strained relations existing be-
tween the two branches of the Legis>
lature no longer exist.
The House passed a bin and sent it
up with a card of introduction to the
Senate The Senate, being confused,
or careless, or irritable from having
been up with the baby all night, tossed
the card back and refused ordinary
parliamentary etiquette to the bill,
leaving it to cool its heels on the door
step The House, being a body of
dignifed men, and lusty with rich leg
islative blood, naturally resented the
gross indignity as it called it. For sew
eral days there appeared to be immi-
nent danger of an "unpleasantness.
Our own suggestion that each body
form itself into a football team, and
try the issue on the MakiFi grounds,
was not kindly received. The rumor
that the members of these two enlight-
ened bodies sought personal encounters
is entirely untrue. Both have conduct
ca themselves with the utmost prop
riety outwardly, especially the House,
which must always feel the indignity
implied in seating the Senate on an up
per floor, while the representatives of
the people are deliberately placed on a
floor underneath.
This crisis in the history of the Re-
public has passed. Righteousness CHE
House, has kissed Peace (the Senate).
Both may now unite in stirring up with

family in its cage.
This hour of reconciliation should |
be marked with some simple service Of !
mutual respect and united action. Let !
the same question be asked of the Cabi- |
net at the same moment, in each body. !
The simultaneous asking would indi- |
cate a complete union of forces, and |

DETROIT, Mich, jar. 3l.-A friendly

land upon which there Is a mortgage,
held by Fred A. Baker, chairman Of

NO PINE RING" CONSPIRACY.
Report From Commissioner Her
mann on the GiIlfIIan Charges In
volving Minnesota Reservations

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Commis-
sioner Hermann, of the general land Of
flee, has submitted to the secretary of
the interior a report on the charges
preferred by Rev. ]. A. Gillfillan, that
a conspiracy exists with the object in
view of obtaining all the timber on the
Chippewa reservation in Minnesota at
80 cents per 1000 feet. just as the
large lumber companies are now get
ting the dead timber.
The commissioner says that no con-
tracts have been entered into between
the Indians and outsiders wherein less
than s4.25 per 1000 feet is offered for
the dead timber. Thirty contracts en-
tered into for logging have been ap-
proved by the Office, the price obtain
ed for the timber ranging from $4.25 to
$5.75 per 1000 feet.
Mr.. Rosa, superintendent of logging,
will be called on for q report in re-
gard to statements alleged to have
been made that certain lumber COM
panies were to get all the Leech lake
pine at so cents per 1000 feet The SUI
perintendent has heretofore reported
that in camps under the Jurisdiction of
Assistant Superintendent Henderson,
on the ceded portions of the White
Earth reservation, he found the log
gers complying with the requirements
of their contracts, except that not
enough Indians were employed.

ever may be the merits of such a bill
IN other respects, II Is obviously over
weighted The ablest jurist who ever
lived could not prepare a law which
would settle satisfactorily at one
stroke all the many problems liable to
arise in the organization of the Indian
Territory.
The wise course for congress to take
and the one which the best friends
of the Indian hope 1t may still take in
spite of the time and trouble spent on
this all-inclusive measure, would be to
take one subject up at a time and
legislate for that alone There is no
hot haste, outside of the ranks of the
land boomers on the borders of the
territory for pushing the work of re-
organization. 1t is difficult and deli
cate task under the most favorable
conditions. And as the rights of so
many persons now living and yet to
come are involved in the proper solu-
ton of the Indian Territory question.

HANNA HEARING NEARLY OVER
TWO Reports VIII BE Submitted by
the Committee as to the AL
legged Rribery

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 31.-The inves-
tigation into the alleged attempt to
bribe Representative Otis to vote for
Senator Hanna, during the late sena-
torial contest, is rapidly drawing to an
end The committee held a brief ses-
sion, after the senate adjourned, this
evening
Attorney T. c. Campbell was the only
witness examined. He was recalled for
the purpose of allowing Senators Rob
ertson and Garfield, who were not pres
ent last Friday, when Mr.. Campbell
was on the stand to question him.
Neither of the senators, however, ask
ed a question and the only queries
were made by Chairman Burke. At
tcrneys DaUgherty and Hulick were
present, but they took no part in the
procee edings
Mr. Campbell told of his personal re-
lations with Otis. He said he had in
frequently acted as attorney for Otis
and always considered Otis a straight
forward and honest man. He said Otis
had always been a sort Of mild Repub-
lican. Campbell said he did not see
how Otis could have voted for Hanna,
as Otis was a member of a free silver
club. Campbell said he had always
been on friendly terms with Senator
Hanna and had been associated in
business way with some of Mr.. Han
lIe- > II4tIiuS. he Claimed ne ndQ Deen
supporter of Hanna until after the
latter's position on the money question
had been made known after his ap-
pointment to the senate. Then he had
rather drifted away from the senator
politically.
Campbell claimed he had been sup
porter of Mckinley in the presidential
campaign on account of his views on
the tariff. Campbell said he had made
a speech in Cooper Union hall, for
which the president and Senator Hanna
had both sent him notes of thanks.
No further witnesses were examined
and the crowd of spectators who had
gathered were somewhat disappointed.
1t is believed the committee will COM
plete its work this week, and that a
report, or rather two reports, will be
submitted soon. Senator Garfield will
probably submit a minority report.
while Chairman Burke will submit the
report for the majority

the Newfoundland Coast.

NEW YORK, Jan. 91.-1The Red Cross line
steamship Portia arrived today. four days
overdue from st. Johns, n. F.. and Hall
FAX, after desperate encounter with pack
ice off the Newfoundland coast and with a
narrowing tale of billiards there and desti-
tuition in the coast section of that country
Hundreds Of men. women and children, dead
close by, and hundreds more threatened with
a like fate. are the brief details of the con-
dition Of affairs brought by the Portia
Four days the Portia was penned in huge
Arctic foes, in plain sight OF ST. Johns
unable to move. She managed to escape by
the merest accident Mary other craft sew
eral OF them relief vessels sent by the
Canadian government to sucoor destitute
fishermen, had to abandon their errands of
mercy and return to ST. Johns, where they
were still in the ice when the Portia strug-
gled into clear water.
Close to where the Pertia lay the big
steamship Virginia was locked tight She
had been sent north by the Canadian gov
ernment with food for the starving fisher
men, but short distance up the coast she
found the route securely blocked and was
tcebound all winter Before her departure
news had reached st. Johns that unless as
sistance was promptly despatched the un-
fortunate inhabitants would soon be beyond
relief.
Among the detained fleet at St Johns
were dozen or more sailing vessels. loaded
with Goldfish for England and Brazil
The city of st. Johns was in a terrible
condition account OF the blizzard. The
roads suspended work. and the poor were
suffering through hunger and cold. Prices of
food had advanced until they were beyond
the reach of the poor.

RESPECT FOR THE FLAG.
To BE Inspired In the Minds of Sa-
moRn Natives.

NEW YORK Jan. 31.-The American flag
will soon he displayed in Samoan waters by
q man of war, says the Heralds Washington
correspondent. The vessel will be the Mo-
hican which has been converted into train
ing vessel. Since the arrival in Washington
of former Consul General Churchill the presi-
dent and Assistant Secretary of State Day
have become convinced that American inter
ests demand that an American vessel should
visit Samoa. Mr.. Churchill has told them
that the natives have no respect for the
American government because it has never
sent a man of war to support any steps for
the protection of American interests which
its representatives in Apia might take.
Upon the arrival of the Mohican in Sa-
moan waters II is expected that her command
ing officer Commander G. NJ. Booker Will
confer with Consul General Osborne in re-
gard 10 the steps to be taken to create
deeper respect among the natives for the
Aa erican flag.
AS a result OF the representations which
have been made by former Consul Churchill,
the administration may enter into negotia-
tions with the London and Berlin govern
ments looking to the amendment of the treaty
under which Samoa is governed There is no
intention on the part of the administration
TO abandon the interest of this government
IN Samoa, and Mr.. Churchill does not rec
why this government should continue its hold
upon the Islands is because 1t is morally
bound 10 do so by the course pursued in the
past
Mr.. Churchill states that If the United States
were to withdraw from Samoa the islands
would be divided up by Germany and Great
Britain.

MIN the long expected report from
capt Ray to the secretary of war.
which he was charged to place in the
hands or the secretary himself. Capt.
Kay was at Fort Yukon when he sent
MS report, Dec. 20 last. Inasmuch as
the department officials who are charg-
ed with the preparations for the gov
erEment relief expeditions are very
anxious to secure such information as
Capt. Ray has for their guidance, he
was telegraphed by Acting Secretary
Meiklejohn to place all the dispatches
he has for the war department in the
hands of Gen. Merriam. commanding
at Vancouver barracks.
The war department has alsc receiy-
ed advfces from its agent at Dyea. Maj.
l.. H. Rucker. In one dispatch, dated
Jan. II, the major says w. H. Rank,

kon, had seized all the supplies Of the
Alaska Commercial company and Of
the North American Trading company
In the name of the government, and
was Issuing them to the people, selling
at the company's prices to those who
could afford to pay and giving to those
unable to pay.
Rank further said that Ray would
ask the government for five hundred
troops to be stationed at Circle City
and vicinity.
Jan. u Maj Rucker reported that a
number of parties had just come in
from Dawson and "all appear to have
accumulated a supply of dust and nus-
gets" There was no starvation at
Dawson.
Maj. Rucker reports at length upon
the plans prepared for the relief par
ties to be sent out by the government
He recommends strongly that the gov
ernment contract with one of the rail-
way companies to take in the supplies
One at least of these roads will be open
by the time the supplies reach Daw-

from one crossing the Chilkoot pass to

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Jan. 91.-In the district
court this afternoon the case of Lucas Kells
as assignee of n. P. Clarke & Co., VS.. II. c.
Akeley came to trial before Judge L. L.
Baxter. The suit is one of the largest grow
ing out OF the Clarke failure, S165, 900 being
involved. The allegations of the complaint
are that n. P. Clarke & Co. gave two bills
of sale, one for $65,CO0 worth of logs In De
cember, 1894 and another shortly before the
assignment in May, 1895, for S100, 600 to AXE
ley. 1t is claimed that these conveyances
were without consideration, and that 1T was
a preference of creditors. A large number
of witnesses will be produced in the case. and
several depos tions, including one from Fred
II. Clarke. now in Chicago a member of the
firm and a nephew of n. P Clarke.
Another phase of the legal complica tions
that have arisen is the suit OF l.. D. Stokes

Clarke, which grows out of the case of Kells
VS.. Mcclure. in which the supreme court held
that the transfers of Clarke to Mcclure were
fraudulent In this instance Clarke had sold
a large quantity of logs to Mcclure and
the latter had given his notes upon the mort
gage back to Clarke. These notes were then
given to the depostors in Clarkes private
