And His Deputies From Charges Made by
Indian Commissioner Jones-An Inquiry
+ Ordered by the Attorney General and

Allego Anxiety to Have the Matter
lacked Into. LIS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The attorney
general has received from United States
District Attorney Robert G. Evans at
st. Paul, Minn., an answer to an inquiry
III regard to the recent trouble with the
Leech Lake Indians in that state in
which he warmly defends United States
Marshal O'Connor and his deputies
from the allegations recently made
against them by Mr.. Jones, the commits
sioner of Indian affairs, who alleged
collusion between clearinghouse keep
ers and deputies by reason of which
large numbers of Indians were uselessly
brought long distances in liquor cases.
Mr.. Evans denies that the charges are
well founded.
An Investigation Ordered.
United States Marshal O'Connor has
also made report to the attorney gen.
eral in which he denies every allegation
made and asks that the matter be fully
and Immediately investigated. In COM
pliance with this demand the attorney
general and secretary of the interior
have agreed to institute an inquiry and
each department will name an official to
conduct the investigation.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones
said that he was glad an inquiry into
the statements regarding the deputy
me,shals in the Chippewa region had
been set. on foot; that he would welcome
m investigation of what might have
been said by him, and if it should be
found that what he stated as his infor-
nation should prove after all to be
wrong, he would be only too glad to
find it so.

Harrington Not Tried,

= Tie trial of Dr. II. p. Harring
ton for the attempted robbery OF
the Bank of Rosalia in November,
1894 came to sudden termination
when called up for trial Friday.
NJ. 0. Reed, Harrington's attorney,
asked Judge Mcdonald to subpoena
himself as a witness in behalf of
the alleged bank robber. The
court pondered a moment and con-
cluded that he knew enough about
the case to draw witness fee and
granted the motion.
This action will necessitate Sc
curing a judge from some other
county to try the case, which will
come off in May, probably the next
term having been called to convene
May 2.
Among the witnesses from abroad
to testify in this case were A. B..
Babb of Plaza and VIM Keech.
The former was once a deputy
sheriff of Spokane county, and the
latter was recently conditionalIy
pardoned from q prison sentence
by Governor Rogers to testify in
this case. Keech has been under
conviction in Spokane county of
cattle stealing three yesrs, but

Columbia, being induced to return
to testify in this case by the con-
ditional pardon in the hands Of the

Facts About Spain.

The area of continental Spain is
191,100 square miles-about double
that of Oregon The population,
according to latest estimate, is a
little less than 100000, For so
old country, there has been with
in recent times considerable in
crease of population, In 1889 the
population was estimated to num-
Der 10,O61 ,490; in 1928 it was 49,
G98,029; in 1860, 15,658,531.
The population of Spanish col
onial possessions in America is es-
timated at 2,43S, 395-now much
reduced by the Cuban war; in Asia,
7,l21,172; in Africa, 10000. To-
tai, $685., 567. The total popuIa-
ton of Spain and her solonies,
therefore, is about q, 100000
According to the statement of the
minister of finance, the debt of
Spain, June 20, 1896, amounted to
5,94l, Ass, 300 pesetas. The pesetas
is silver coin, of the nominal val
lie in our currency of 464 cents.
The debt of Spain, then, measured
in our money, would amount to
the prodigious sum of $2,500,O00,-
OO0-a sum nearly as great as the
debt Of the United States at the
close of our civil war, and three
times as great. as the present inter
est-bearing debt of the United
States.
In financial sense, then, Spain
is very weak. Her revenue for
many years has been constantly be-
low her expenditures. She has
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1898-03-12

moreover, employed every possible
means of raising revenue, and has
no further resources to draw upon;
and her credit is so low that adj
ditional loans are impossible.
Her army, on paper is somewhat
formidable. The forces consist of
q permanent army of nominal
strength of $4,000 men and otli-
GERS, and of first or active reserve
and of second or sedentary re-
serve, for which no numbers are
quoted. The greater part of the
active army has been sent during
the past three years to service In
the East and West Indies, and it
is believed the greater part have
persisted. SPANS army is not
actually formidable, nor could she
organize a really formidable army.
But she has navy OF considerable
strength, with which losses might
be inflicted on us at points along
our extended seaboard. Of course,
she could land no forces on our
shores. Nor probably should we
attempt to land an army on the
coast of Spain. We should, how
ever, speedily send an army to
Cuba, and every effort would be
made to destroy the Spanish navy,
to blockade the ports of Spain, and
to force them, where it might seem
possible. The commerce of Spain
is very considerable, and it would
be an important part OF our effort
to blockade the ports of the coun-
try. Spain has no resources that
would enable her to compete with
HIS in making additions TO naval
strength.
The Spaniards are brave peo-
pie, but for open field fighting are
not good soldiers. They are cap
able. however, of making desperate
resistance, when under cover. 1t
was only when within Notifications
that they made any real resistance
to Napoleon's armies. True, they
captured one French army corps
during Napoleonic wars, but that
was due to the incompetency of
the French commander. But the
Spaniards have high opinion Of
their own soldierly qualities and
Of the national powers; they are
vainglorious braggarts, and really
believe they never were beaten, but
have been victorious in all their
wars. It is their fixed belief that
it was their own might that ex-
PEELED Napoleon from Spain, and
they doubt not that if Spain had
been in the place of France in 1870
the German armies would have
been hurled back in defeat over
the Rhine,

At the Orpheum this week, beginning
tonight Sunday, we are TO have
new bill, at the head Of which IS the
man who created such interest in San
Francisco. He is an artist in every
sense of the term. He opens his act by
an exhibition Of his famous smoke pic
lures a large sheet Of porcelained tin
is smoked over a lamp and then Rubin
off starts in to make his pictures. He
gets some surprising results in black
and white and shadows. He then gives
limitations Of birds, a notable feature Of
which is the imitation of a courtship
between Mr.. and Mrs. Nightingale, in
which he never fails to bring down the
house. His impromptu crayon sketches
are also very clever, while his shadow
graph work ranks among the best ever
seen. A novelty of the latter is that
he sits in full view of the audience and
between them and the curtain while
making his shadows. 1t is claimed that
this act alone is worth the price Of
admission. Another strong feature IS
the work by Master Wade Cochran, the
mental wonder aged six years, and
who answers at off-hand over 10000
questions relating to biblical, historical
and geographical facts. He is consid-
cred a phenomenal attraction. John
w West, who styles himself the 'mu-
steal naoke," will appear in an eccen-
trio comedy as a tramp and extracts a
surprising amount Of tuneful music
from one of the oldest collection Of
musical instruments ever seen on the
stage A fine comedy feature may be
expected from Burke and Forrest, one
of the best known and most popular
