THE oREGON's GREAT TRIP.
The Great Battlsship Arrives ~ Jupiter

in 6B Dsya

WAsHISeToN, May es. The news Of
the safe arrival of the Oregon at
Jupiter, Fla. was . source Of unal-
loyed satisfaction to all naval officers.
Apprehension rs to the safety Of the
Oregon practically disappeared when
the vessel reached Barbados and re-
ported her arrival to the navy depart
ment, but there was always chance
that she might suffer from accident or
hostile attack in the short distance re-
naming on her homeward journey.
The Oregon left Mare island, CAL,
$4,000 miles away from Jupiter, on
March 10, so she has averaged 200 miles
a day for 65 days. As amatter of fact
the vessel has made much better speed,
for good many days were lost in tak-
ing coal at the South American ports.

BattIe-Scarred Veterans Return
From the Battles of Cuba.
st. Paul, Sept. IA great cheer
cheer with a heart in it, arose last
night at the union depot when the
headlight Of the special bearing the
remnant of the gallant Third came in
sight down in the lepot yards. The
cheer was more than cheer. 1t vi
brated with love and admiration for
the gallant band, who, regulars as
they may be classed, are Minnesota
boys, who have been in the battles of
Cuba. 1t was sight no one who wit
messed it will ever forget; it was Il
welcome that will go down in eternal
letters in the history Of the Third.
The thousands who waited hours to
welcome the soldiers felt indebted to
the occasion for feelings they will
never forget.
A committee of ST. Paul citizens had
met the train at Lake City and st.
Paul badges adorned the faded blue
on each soldiers breast. Papers and
cigars had aided in passing the time TO
ST. Paul, and here the citizens COM
mittee, under the command of Capt.
J. J. McCardy, gave every man a
lunch and hot coffee, while the ladies
pinned flowers upon their blue blouses
and told them in words that they were

OFF TO THE FRONT.
MinnesOtn's Junior Regiment Starts
for Camp Meade.

for Camp Meade.
st. Paul, Sept. 17.-Minnesota's new
est regiment, the Fifteenth, is now on
its way to Camp Meade, eventually to
be taken to Cuba. Thousands sur
rounded the train to cheer them on,
and the enthusiasm did not die out
during the long wait after the troops
had been loaded, but locomotive
whistles and bells added to the cheer
ing until the last train, carrying the
field officers and the First battalion
pulled out.
The scene around the depot was not
a new one to the people of St Paul.
They had seen the Twelfth, the, Thir-
teenth and the Fourteenth Minnesota
go away and had said goodbye to the
Third, which came home last night.
Nevertheless the ranks of the friends
who had loved ones in the train were
swelled by those whose only incentive
was curiosity. The hurried prepare
tons for the departure had with it an
attraction which few could resist, and
they stayed until the last coach had
passed from view. They helped to
cheer and shook hands with men they
did not know, simply because they
were soldiers and wore the blue.

Walker, Mimi, Sept. 2O-The 1eech
Lake Indians held council with In
dian Agent Sutherland. in which they
Informed him Of their intention to ig-
more the authority of the United States
hereafter and to follow their inclina-
ton in respect to their tribal matters
and to resist any further interference
by the government in the disposal OF
the pine lands of their reservation.
They said that the government had re-
pudiated treaty stipulatlons, and they
considered all agreements under the
act of 1889, under which they agreed
to cede their reservations, null and
void.
They complained bitterly against the
mixed blood Indians of White Earth,
whom they said were in league with
the white lumbermen to rob them of
their pine timber lands, and that here
after they would confiScate the prop
erty Of the latter if they attempted to
cut and sell any of the timber. They
also said that the feeling among the
Minnesota Chippewas regarding their
treatment at the hands of the govern
ment was unanimous. NaytoWay
Keshig, one of the leading men of the
tribe, on behalf of some of the young
men, repudiated the proposed outbreak,
and said that he was surprised that
the Chippewas were going on the war
path, but judging from their speech he
could come to no other conclusion.
Maj. Sutherland advised the Indians
to take no steps that would be detri-
mental to their future welfare, and to
think twice before acting once. The
Indian prisoners that were taken forci-
bly, by the Pillagers from United
States Marshal Morrison, captain of
the Indian policemen, were present at
the council, but no attempt was made
to rearrest them.
