has taken place since, am receiving regu-
lar employment at good wages, and thank

are kept open. There are few Japanese
residents in the islands, as there are only
about sixty merchants doing business
there. Consequently Japan has little in

WARD AT WORK ON
SHERIDAN'S STATUE
scuIPT"R's EFFORTS
Sacrificing Both Time and Money in
Order to- Produce q Perfect Cast
of the General.

For several years arrangements have
been making for the erection of statue
Of Gen. Sheridan in this city, to be the
gift of the Society of the Army of the
Cumberland In the last three years j.
Q. A. Ward, the sculptor has been en-
gagged on the model. 1t IS his expressed
ambition to make it the greatest work of
his life, and since he has been working on
ii he has put aside every other commits
sion. The officers of the statue commit
tee of the Army of the Cumberland are
Gen. Barnett, of Cleveland, chairman;
Gen. II. c. Corbin, secretary, and Sec
retary Alger. treasurer. Not having heard
from Mr.. Ward for some time Gen. Cor
bin few days ago wrote him inquiring
what progress was being made. He re-
ceived q reply yesterday, from which the
following extract is taken:
"A year ago ! had the large model well
advanced. but found that II would never
satisfy me; that | should never be happy
with II; pulled II down and made uew
studies entirely. These are now all COM
pleted, and | have made prepare tions for
setting up the large model again, which
will not be changed. This report will no
doubt shock you and be a great dsap-
pointment TO the society. 1t will be diff
/ fcult for its members to understand how
any sculptor should require so many
/ years for such a work. l did not myself
! expect to occupy so much time with it.
| but it has been an honest occupation OF
! ny time, for there has not been a month
! wasted in idleness or devoted 10 other
| work. If, however, l can peacefully com
| plete this statue of Sheridan and work
! happily on it. l shall not regret my sac.

INDIANS WIN A SUIT
FOR A LARGE AMOUNT
Court of Claims Awards Them Lands
in Kansas Valued nt Nearly Two
Million Dollars.

The Court of Claims has rendered a
judgment of 81, ,961, 400 in favor of the New
York Indians who entered suit against
the United States TO recover the value of
certain lands donated TO them in Kan
sas and subsequently disposed of by the
United States. The award is in pursu-
ance of a mandate from the United
States Supreme Court.
This case has been pending IN the courts
about five years. These lands had been
set apart as a reservation for them by
the treaty of 1888, but were never occu-
pied by them, and were sold by the Gov
ernment and the proceeds placed in the
United States Treasury. The Court of
Claims originally decided against the
Indians, but the Supreme Court reversed
that judgment, and directed the award in
their favor of the net amount actually
received by the Government for the Kan
sas lands, less the amount to which the
Tonawandas and Senecas would have
been entitled and less other just deduc-
tons.
