WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-Special In
dian Agent Jenkins, in a report on the
question submitted to Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs Jones on the investiga-
ton of the timber operations on the
Chippewa reservation, in Minnesota,
makes some statements radically diff
fering from those in other reports.
He says that during the last fiscal
year 4S,919, ,946 feet of reservation pine
timber cut and banked there and sold
at an average of $4.7S per thousand
There We're thirty-two camps in opera
ton. and there were SS1s percentage Of
the wages due the laborers in the camps
on settlement. On the diminished
reservation, the special agent says there
were 22,262,9O1 feet cut and banked and
sold at $496 per thousand, and the la
borers were paid 95A per cent. of the
amount due them on settlement.
He says the trouble was in the man.
agement of the camps. Owing to the
inability of many of the camps to pay,
the laborers claim they were last to be-
paid, and scores of Indians did not re-
ceive the wages they expected, and
hence serious complaint arose. OF
fiftythree camps in operation the past
Dor, and very few had over 80 per cent,
the Indian labor average being from >
to 20 per cent
The system of stores maintained by
the camps, with their exorbitant prices
and credit to reckless Indian laborers,
is stated to have been the cause of dis
satisfaction. And the accounts were
not properly itemized, and they are
loosely made out, with no apparent
check on purchases, and gave abundant
opportunity for fraud
The chief source of all the Indians
complaints was that the green timber
of the reservation was being ruthlessly
cut down and destroyed, under pre-
tense of being dead and down timber.
At five councils held with the Indians
from various portions of the reserva-
tion, Mr.. Jenkins says that they vehe-
mently protested against further cut
ting of the so-called dead and down
timber. They are convinced that more
than one-half of the timber cut has
been green and growing pine, and that
they are realizing little or nothing from
it.
The agent says he found these COM
plants we'll founded, and that evidences
of the clean cutting of everything mer-
chantable were abundant everywhere.
"The Indians, however" he conclud-
ed, "are desrous of having the timber
operations resumed on the basis of COM
mon sense and common honesty. They
favor the selling outright of all this
pine timber at not less than 50 per
thousand for Norway and So for white
as it stands, or the putting in of mills
by the Government under the Menomi-
nee plan. Either I think would result
satisfactorily"

THE LOCKWOOD DISTRICT.
e. w. Mas1in to Investigate the
Causes of Destitution.
to the "Record-Union."

Special to the 'Record-Union.''
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.-The
State Board of Trade has sent E. w.
Maslin to the Lockwood District to
make investigation of the cause of
scarcity of food and to examine the
topography of the country, with refer
ence to its liability to drought, the pur-
pose being to show that the condition
is not applicable to the entire State;
that the locality by reason of it's topog-
raphy is subject to deficiency in most
years, and to an absolute lapse of rain
in many seasons.
Mr.. Maslin, who is well known
throughout the State, will make a writ
ten report which will be filed with the
President and published at once. He
will be accompanied by a land expert
who will examine the soil with refer
ence to it's adaptability to objects of
culture and with reference to rainfall
both from the records and surface in
dications of the soil and hillsides. He
will also make an examination of the
sub-soil for the purpose of determining
the irrigatability of the soil.
Mr.. MaSlin will make further inves-
tigation of the extent of the destitution
with suggestions as to the remedy
which should be applied.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19.-District
Attorney Graham to-day filed in the
prothonotary's office of the Supreme
Court the answer of the, commonwealth
to the petition of United States Senator
NJ S. Quay, his son, Richard R. Quay,
and former State Treasurer Haywood,
in which the defendants asked the Su-
preme Court for a ruling to show cause
why a writ of certiOrari should not be
issued to take up the record OF eX-
animation of the case, in which the
three defendants are charged with con-
Spiracy to misuse State funds on de-
posit in the Peoples Bank.
True bills of Indictment were return
ed by the Grand Jury against the de-
PENDANTS and their trial was fixed for
Monday, December 18th, but on De-
cen1ber 10th, Justices Green and Will
Jams Of the Supreme Court granted the
ruling asked for by the defendants, and
fixed January 1st as the time for hear
ing the argument.
The District Attorney says that the
statement that the defendants could
not obtain a fair trial is 'scandalous
and untruthful and a gross imputation
upon the twelve Judges of the Phila-
delphia courts and he declares it to
be untrue, as charged in the petition,
that the prosecutions We're inspired by
Judge James Jay Gordon, as alleged.
Respondent respectfully suggests
that if it We're true that some one in
spired the prosecution, yet the prose-
cution itself is just and well founded,
this can in no wise be a defense for
the accused.
The District Attorney declares that
these proceedings We're instituted be-
fore Mr.. Quay made the personal an
nouncement of his candidacy to sue
ceed himself in the United States SEN
ate. While a legal proceeding should
be arrested upon the ground of a de-
fendant's candidacy for office the Dis
trict Attorney is at loss to under
stand, and all allegations to this effect,
he says, are Irrelevant and immaterial.
The District Attorney ayers that in
seeking trial for these cases he is do
ing simply his duty under his oath of
Office, and that in so doing he is not
prejulced and intimidating the Cen
eral Assembly. The prosecution, he
says, was based upon discriminating
evidence" a part of which was pro-
duced before the committing magis-
trate and before the Grand Jury, and
the prosecution has no other purpose
than that of bringing to justice per-
sons whom the respondent believes
have persistently violated the laws OF
the commonwealth and used the public
moneys of the State as though they
were part of their own private prop
erty"
In closing the answer the District
Attorney says: Respondent ayers
that appeals of the extraordinary ma
ture of the one in the petition In
question, whether rules are granted ac-
accompanied with stay of proceedings
that interrupt large and orderly prog
ress of the administration Of justice
IN the lower courts, are calculated TO
do irreparable injury, and to make it
impossible to successfully prosecute
persons Of wealth and power"

UNABLE TO AGREE.
Jury in the Case of Senator Kenney
Fail to Reach a Verdict.

WILMINGTON Oel), Dec. 19.-After
celebrating since o'clock last Friday
evening, the jury in the Kenney case
was discharged this afternoon without
having reached a verdict. This is a
second mistrial of the case.
Last July Senator Richard r. Ken
ney was placed on trial, charged with
aiding and abetting Teller Boggs of the
First National Bank of Dover in u1isap-
propriating bank funds. Boggs has
already pleaded guilty, and was the
chief witness against the Senator IN
both cases. After the first disagree
ment charge of conspiracy was joined
to the original indictment.
About twelve ballots were taken by
the jury On the first they stood eight
for acquittal, three for conviction and
cne blank. The next ten varied slight
ly from these figures, and on one they

for aid have caused considerable ex-
citement and no little Indignation here.
The telegraph statement that the sit
uation in this vicinity is 'even worse
than at Kings City" is erroneous. It
is stated upon good authority that al
though sufficient supplies We're fur
nished to aid all in want, much of it
never reached the deserving, but was
taken by persons either employed or
not needing assistance. Leading farm
ers, ranch owners and business men
who We're interviewed to-day claim
that more harm than good will result
from overdrawn pictures of the effects
Of the drought, and that the county's
resource is ample to care for the des-
titute.

Sheriff Whelan Sued.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.-George
f. White, known as the ''Mendocino
Cattle King" filed suit against Sheriff
Whelan to recover $4,000 damages
for the alleged unlawful seizure Of
certain letters and papers several
weeks ago. The suit has its origin in
certain litigation which resulted in a
Judgment against White. An attach
ment was levied upon Whites proper
ty, and Sheriff Whelan was charged
with the duty of seizing anything in
sight in satisfaction of the Judgment
White declares that the seizure was
legally unauthorized, and that in con-
sequence thereof he suffered damages
in the sum prayed for.

nothing in the nature Of a vital change
has occurred. AS yet, however, the
committee has not passed on the resolu-
tions relating to the qualifications cf
voters for Representatives and Sena-
