French Discussion

PARIS. Oct. 28.-La Volente, discussing
the Philippine question today, says: The
Americans could we'll make concessions to
compensate for their rigor on the Cuban
question. Quoting the Philippine article of
the protocol, the paper says: The wording
Is vague and forecasts the Spanish conten-
ton relative to the meaning of the words
control" and disposition" Spain, La
Volente concludes, is minus money and a
fleet to re-establish order and it would be
more prudent to allow the Americans to do
SO, Spain claiming money indemnity in
exchange for her sovereignty over the archi-
pelga, which it would be difficult for the
Americans to refuse.
The Gaulois takes the view that the Cuban
question was not settled by itself, and that
by counter-concessions ON the Philippine
question an arrangement mutually satisfac-
tory will be reached. But in the meanwhile,
the Gaulois adds, no decision is possible be-
fore the elections, which is according to the
desire of the American commission.
Whether or not there be divergent views
among the American commissioners, they
will stand as unit before the Spaniards,
Whether differences of view may have ex-
listed or shall in future exist, the entire COM
mission will array itself firmly behind and
in support of the preponderating opinion
therein. This statement may at this hour
be accepted in quelling any rumor that
resignation might follow any members
variance of opinion of that of his American
colleagues. Each member of the American
commission has separately formulated his
views regarding the Philippines in his own
terms and all have been forwarded to Wash
inston. The transmission has been BY mail
and cable. This individual expression of
views on the Philippines has thus been for
warded in order that President Mckinley
might have the advantage not only Of the
ssnslusiens Il each commissioner but the.

LEECH LAKE INDIANS
Humbly Petition for Permission to
Cut Timber

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.,-.A petition
signed by 277 Leech lake Indians, Pillager
Indinans, in Minnesota, asking for contin-
uance of authority for cutting dead and
down timber, was received by Secretary
Bliss today. It was dated Leech Lake. Oc-
tober 22d, and is interesting in view of the
part timber cutting methods had in the re-
cent Chippewa outbreak. 1t follows:
eve, the undersigned. Pillager Indians,
residents of the Leech Lake reservation, do
hereby petition the honorable secretary Of
the interior and the honorable commissioner
of Indian affairs, as follows:
"That we be allowed to continue the cut
ting of dead and down timber, as such cut
ting is our sole means Of making a livelihood
and if deprived of the labor incident to such
cutting, we will be unable to provide for our
women and children the coming winter, and
they will suffer greatly for the necessaries
Of life. And further, we do not wish the
white men married to Indian women should
do the cutting to the exclusion of the In
dians, and we do not wish them to log in
the names of those wives and children"
The signatures, made by mark, are headed
by fifteen Of the chiefs.

at western posts in California and around
the Yellowstone. He was a member Of the
relief party to reinforce General Custer at
the time Of the Custer massacre. and he
also saw service against Sitting Bull in the
Black hills. He was honorabiy discharged
from the army in 1883. He was a grandson
of Stephen B. Holt, who constructed the
United States hotel, this city. and was one

ments in the case and the court adjourned.
Today's proceedings were devoid of sen.
satlon. The only commotion caused ensued
during the reading Of pathetic letters from
Dreyfus.. A significant point was the reve-
lation Of the fact that General Boisdeffre
gave orders, after the Dreyfus case was sup
posedly closed, for the dossier containing
surprise to find that his orders had not
been executed.
Thus far the war office has not been rep
resented, and there is little hope of secur.
ing the dossier. M. Dupuy was premier
during. the Dreyfus trial, and his appoint-
ment delights the anti-Dreyfusites.
1t is asserted that the father-in-law OF
Dreyfus has received letter from the pris.
oner in his own handwriting Formerly
only copies of his letters were transmitted,
and the new departure is regarded as fa-
vorabe sign.

found, painful and discouraging.
The correspondent of the Times contin.

such terrible censure of those responsible,
knowingly or unknowingly, for his con-

From Tuesdays Daily.


In the district court yesterday the case
of Nicholson VS.. Edberg was completed
and given to the jury which returned a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff.
This morning William Hedstrom, the
fifteen year old boy who pleaded guilty
to manslaughter was sentenced to the
reform school. The plea was accepted
by the state because of the extreme
youth Of the defendant and the facts
stated in the confession relative to the
murder, which was that of his aged
grandmother, which showed there was a
a quarrel and that the fatal result of the
blow which was struck by the boy was
probably not intentional. Reform school
sentences are indeterminate, prisoners
there being discharged when their re.
form is accomplished or when 81 years
of age. Hedstrom is the second boy who
has been sent to the reform school FOL
murder, the other being Fred Roehn
who was sent for the confessed killing o

New Kind of Game.

The Emmons County Record, referring
to some Manila correspondence, says:
Our correspondent incidentally mentions
that some times the boys of Company A
break the monotony of camp life by
shooting craps or by indulging in draw"
Now, what our correspondent means is
that the soldier boys often go out to
shoot a bird of prey called the crap. 1t
is a very large, wild, fierce species of
bird hat is indigenous to the Philippines,
and more than once it has attempted to
carry off some of the smaller members of
Company A. The "game of draw" that
Johnny refers to is just Il brief way of
stating hat an artist in the regiment has
gotten up a drawing class and is teach
ing the boys to make pictures. 1t will
thus be seen that our Missouri slope lads
are improving the shining hours Of their
leisure during their enforced stay in the
a%ntipodes.
