INDIANS DISSATISFIED.
Want Large Bonus in Money to Accom-
pany the Allotment of Land
in Severalty.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 27.-The gov
ernment has run against snag in al
lotting lands in severalty on the Col
Vile, Indian reservation peopled by
900 Indians. Indian Agent Anderson
and Allotting Agent Harry Humphrey
have been trying for some time to al
lot the lands, but have met with re-
sistance, the Indians being opposed to
surveys and allotments unless the gov
ernment pays them for the lands as
the Nez Perces and Coeur dAlenes
were paid for theirs. There are about
/ 100000 acres on the reservation, and
the contention of the government is
that the Indians have no title to it.
The government proposes to allot 80
acres to each Indian in severalty and
give them nothing more. The Indians.
led by Chief Aura Paghuin and Chief
Bernard demand that they be paid
about 81, 100000, claiming this under
the report of a commission which eX-
amined into the matter some time af-
ter the reservation was set apart by
Gen. Grants proclamation in July,
1872 A truce has been secured on the
promise that two chiefs will be taken
to Washington this winter by Agent
Anderson to see the president. Under
the truce surveys are proceeding.
The Colville reservation contains a
number of thriving mining towns,
among them Republic, where is located

FRYE ON THE TREATY.
Re- e-Established--The Disposition of
the Philippine Islands.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Frye
talked yesterday TO a news reporter
with respect to the conditions attend
ing and resulting from the peace ne
gotiations- With respect to the fire.
quently-repeated statement in press
dispatches that the sentiment of the
powers, with the exception of England,
was opposed to the United States and
looked with disfavor upon the attitude
of this government in dealing with
Spain, Senator Frye said:
Il saw no evidence of such sentiment
existing outside of France. and in
France that appeared to be confined to
the press, which does not reflect the
sentiment of the nation nor of the peo-
pie generally
do you think there will be an early
restoration of cordial relations be-
tween Spain and the United States?"
Il think very soon after the ratifica-
tlon of the peace treaty and the res
toration of diplomatic relations there
| will be no difficulty about negotiating
treaties, and a treaty for the release of
prisoners and such other matters di-
rected toward the perfect restoration
of friendly relations between the two
governments. I do not believe that
the Spanish government will be at all
disposed to keep up unfriendly feeling
between the two governments. The
making of new treaties adapted to the
present conditions would be better
than would the restoration of old
treaties, some features of which were
obsolete
What has been published with re-
spect to the treaty of peace seems to
indicate. does it not, that this govern
ment is not committed by these nego-
tiations with respect to the future
disposition of the territory, the Span
ish sovereignty over which has been
relinquished.'
''It indicates very strongly that this
government is not committed in any
way whatever with respect to the dis
position and government of these isl
ands. If we are insane enough to do
so we might give them all back to
Spain after the ratification of the
treaty. If we are fools, we might di-
vide them up among the other foreign
powers. The whole matter is left in
the hands of congress. Congress can
make any disposition of the islands it
sees fit. The ratification of the treaty
will not in any way curtail any priv
ileges of ours in this direction.

OPPOSED TO THE TREATY.
Activity of the Anti-Imperiaiist League to
Secure Its Defeat by the
Senate.

Boston, Dec. 27.-In reply to a tele
graphic request of Gov. Pingree of
Michigan for a speaker for an anti
imperialist meeting in Detroit tonight,
the Anti-Imperialist league sent Rev.
Samuel E. Fuller, of Boston, Gov. Pin
gree bearing the expense. The pro-
tests received by the league yesterday
included one from branch of the
Federation of Labor in Montana; from
the Unitarian club in Jackson, Mich;
from 54 citizens of Clark county, Vir-
ginia, and from Ohio, Wisconsin, Min
nesota. Alabama, Texas, California and
other states. Secretary Winslow of the
league will send to each member of the
house and senate letter urging them
to prevent the ratification of the treaty
as it stands, making the point that
one-third of the senate can accomplish
now what hereafter viii require ma
iority of each branch and the approval
of the president

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.

Killed His Wife and Then Himself.
William Lowenstein and wife were
found dead at their home, one mile
west of Jasper City, Jasper county.
The coroner's jury found a verdict to
the effect that, after killing his wife,
Lowenstein committed suicide. Evil
dences of a struggle were apparent,
and the surmise is that the conflict
lasted some time, as she was hacked
and bruised. He was known as most
eccentric, and was said to have been
madly jealous of his wife, of whom
he often talked about to neighbors.
Deceased was, in his younger days, a
miner in the zinc mines of Germany.
He served in the civil war, and had a
pension of $40. When he first located
in Jasper county, over thirty years
ago, he bought farm from lawyer
named Lon Cameron, who had no title
to it, and, to keep it, the old man had
to work and pay for it again. He was
