Especial to The HeraId.)
Price, Utah, Uov. 13.-Secretary John Q.
Abbott of the Uintah Indian commission
left here tonight for Washington, preced-
ing Indian Agent Myton. Charley Mack.
Happy Jack, and three other leaders of
the tribes by one day. They go to the
capital to confer with the commissioner
of Indian affairs as to the ratification Of
q lease entered into with Judge McCOn-
nell the manager of the National Mining
company of Wisconsin, on the elaterlte
veins on the reservation. ThlS lease was
entered into some five months ago, but
is void until sanctioned by the proper au-
thorities of the interior department. Sec
rotary Abbott said tonight;
''Our commission will make report to
the interior department, but what that
report will be or what will be recon-
mended do not care to say in advance of
the report. Personally, /, along with the
members of the commission. feel that the
reservation should be opened up to the
whites. 1t seems unjust and unfair to tno
people of Utah to have the best portion or
the state given over to nomadic peo-
pie such as the American Indians are,
and who do not wish 70 embrace civil
zation. I feel that the whole Indian
problem from it's inception is wrong. L
know of no reason why Sucn lands, real
ly among the best lands of Utah. should
be given over exclusively to such a peo-
pie. To do so is to treat Utah and her
people unfairly ant, without DestoWing
any benefits on the Indians.
Under the law as 1t exists at present,
q buck is given 100 acres, a squaw and
each one of the family like amount.
which. in some instances, places in one
family 2. 900 acres. This. I claim, is an OUT
rage. Now, Senator Rawlins is a good
lawyer and a man who is deeply inter-
ested in having the reservation opened
and this wrong to Utah righted He
claims the Indians do not have absolute
ownership of the reservation or property,
but title by Occupany in common, at
the discretion OF the government. This
being true the government ought to
have enumeration made Of the unalotted
Indians and set apart SUCH amount Of
land in bulk as would satisfy the claim
of the Indians or their rights under the
law. Now a commission to allOt lands
to the different Indians in person
wherever they may select would be a.
very great Injustice and that part re-
naming unallOtted would be almost abSO-
luteIv worthless. There are 1.500 In
dams all told, of whom LOO are unal-
While Mr.. Abbott would not confirm
or deny that the main features of the re-
port are embodied in this interview. he
left the impression that they were. From
another thoroughly reliable source. the
fact is confirmed that the views and the
Abbott The commission convened Sept.
l. 1898, and Oct. 10 held a council with the
Indians. at which time they refused to
treat. Two weeks later the Indians held
a second council and maintained the
same position. The commission then
gave up any hopes Of success and asked
to be called home.

SPANISH SWINDLER CAUGHT
MISS CoNGER NEVER INTENDED
TO ELoPE.

acknowledgement After Long
and Exciting Chase.
fSpecia1 to The Herald.l

ST. George, Nov. 13.-Eduardo Alvarez,
the Spanish ADVENTURE, was landed in
jail at II o'clock last night, after a hard
chase of 100 miles. The capture took
place at the salt mines nine miles be-
low St Thomas, on the Rio Nirgen.
Colonel A. ?. Hardy and James An
drus, ir., effected the capture, with the
aid of Stephen Bunker, ]. l. Earl and
P. T. Barnum of Bunkerville.
Miss Conger, the young lady whom
Alvarez persuaded to accompany him,
states that they went merely for a
drive, as she supposed, to Littlefield,
where he told her he was going to send
off some telegraohic messages which
he did not want DR.. Affleck to know of,
and told her he had arranged with
Judge Daggett and her mother so they
would not be uneasy on account of the
long drive. His preteXt was that he
had a deal with Affieck concerning
some property in Cuba, which he
thought Affleck, in conjunction with r.
J. Mitchells, was going to swindle him
on. But upon their arrival at Little
field he left Miss Conger, saying he had
some business to attend to and would
then take her home. Instead of this,
he rushed right on to Bunkerville,
where he beat the hotel He was
brought back and pleaded no money,
gave up his pistol and resumed the
race two hours before his pursuers ar
rived. They changed horses and sped
on to the confluence of the Muddy and
the Nirgen. There they sighted him,
and for five miles it was an even race.
They then mounted their horses and
ran him down, bringing him to time
with their guns Finding no justice Of
the peace at Bunkerville, he was
brought here.
AS soon as Miss Conger heard of the
CONSERVATION her departure had caused
she FASTENED home. arriving early yes
terday. Alvarez will have a hearing to-
morrow and will be bound over on a
charge of getting property under false
pretenses.

Price, Utah, Nov. 13.-Indian Agent

morrow noon for washington to sign
up the lease on the elaterite lands. He

who represent the lease to be entered
into with the Raven Mining company,
an Illinois corporation, With ]. T. Nc
Council as manager, the successor OF
the National Mining company of Wis
cOnsin, which has been operating there.
The lease is for ten years, is dated
Nov 10, 1898, and covers all that part
of the Uintah reservation lying south
of the Strawberry river, west of the
first guide meridian and south of the
first standard parallel in Wasatch
county, and contains in all fully 100000
acres.
IL is a voluminous document, and is
signed by about 80 of the head men OF
the Uintah and White River tribes. 1t
provides for a royalty of Is per cent
on all elaterIte, WOertzeite, asphaltum,
gilsOnite and mineral wax mined. The
royalty is fixed at Is per cent, but shall
never fall below $3.50 per ton, the mar
ket price to be fixed in the discretion OF
the secretary of the interior at Chicago,
st. Louis. Kansas City or New York.
The company is given the right to pros
pect for two years, but can open up no
more properties after that time. Indi-
ans are given the preference of employ
ment in the working Of the mines and
in hauling ores to market.
The lease" said Agent NIyton, 'is
now drawn to meet the suggestions of
the secretary OF the interior, and viii
be signed with his approval upon our
arrival at Washington. 1t shuts off the
opening of this reservation for 10 years,

there for shipment. An allotment Of
the lands in severalty could have been
made if the government would pay the
Indians outright"

mysterious telegram received from
Colmar, capital of Upper Alsace, signed
by an unknown correspondent.
So far as can be ascertained, there
is no official confirmation of the report.
The father-in-law of Dreyfus discredits
it. He says he has received excellent
accounts from the colonial office quite
recently as to the prisoners health.
Despite these assurances, there are
dark rumors afloat. In view of the
curious manner in which the letter
from Dreyfus, declaring he had aban-
doned all hope, was conveyed to
Madame Dreyfus on Friday, many peO-
pie believe he is dead.
a dispatch from Paris on Friday said
that Madame Dreyfus had applied that
day at the office of the minister of the
colonies for permission to send her hus-
band some warm clothing for his re-
turn home. The request was refused
on the ground that the government
would do whatever was necessary. At
| the same time, according to the dis
patch, the authorities read her a letter
i from her husband to the effect that,
having for five months addressed ap-
pealS for revision to General de Bots
deffre (recently chief-of-staff of the
French army, without getting any re-
ply, and being weary and exhausted
by his useless appeals, he would write
no more to his family or to anyone
else. He described himself as i'll and
dying, and bequeathed to the "gener-
osity of my country the care of re-
facilitating my memory
1t appears that Madame Dreyfus
then asked permission to telegraph her
husband the decision of the court of
cessation. This request was also re-
/ fused. Then, through friend, she ap-
| pealed to President Faure, with no bet
ter result. The dispatch said her coun-
| sci would bring the whole matter be-
fore the court of cessation
Careful inquiries made at Colmar
this evening show that nothing is
known there as to the death of Drey-
fus. 1t is now believed that the teIe-
gram was a hoax.

London, Nov. 13-There was dis
tinct change for the better in the tenn
per of the stock exchange last week,
prices displaying a marked improve
ment, owing to the brighter outlook,
which was sufficiently pronounced to
attract buyers. In many cases quota
tons rose sharply, and American Sc
curities had a boom on the strength of
the success of the Republicans in the
congressional elections, which is re-
garded as giving a quietus to the silver
agitation.
There were heavy purchases of bonds
at advances of from 1a to 1 per cent,
while the better class of shares, es-
pecially preferred, was in good demand
after the election returns become def
nitely known, although the closing

falling off. Among the declines were
