JONES BLAMEs THE WHITES.

~ I
Are, Responsible For tho Indian
Outbreak.
Washington, Oct. 2S.-Commissioner
of Indian Affairs William A. Jones,
who has been in Minnesota
making negotiations, which were sue
cessful, with the Chippewa Indians for
the resumption Of peaceful relations
with the government. made q verbal
report to Secretary Bliss upon his
work. Commissioner Jones says that
the trouble is attributable to the
methods of the whites in the vicinity,
who are taking advantage of the In
dams. In discussing the outbreak hey
said today:
1.-THE whole trouble was dissatisfaction
in handling the Indians, the immediate
cause was irritation at the. frequent ar
rest of Indians OH trivial causes, often for
no cause at all, taking them to Duluth
and Minneapolis for trial, 100 miles away
from their agency and then turning them
adrift without meals of returning home.
l have information that there is definite
arrangement between the United States
marshal and some boarding houses where
the courts are located, by which the depu-
ties are to bring down delegations Of In
dams as witnesses in whisky cases and
other cases. This secures fees for the
deputies and money for the boarding
places. At Brainerd, Mimi, while I was
going north met party of twenty In
dams on their way to court at Duluth,
many of whom were of absolutely no
value to the case at issue, but whose pres
ence as witnesses would inure to the
financial benefit of others. The Indians
were prompted to their outbreak by the
wrongs committed on them and chafed
under unfair treatment. When 1 reached
there they were surly, ugly, defiant, but
soon adopted conciliatory attitude and
finally agreed to negotiate for the sur
two were surrendered. They said they
would not allow two men to bring their
whole tribe into trouble and proudly in
sisted on sending themselves for the men,
Old Bug and his son. to have them
turned over to the marshal. They are
still out. The Indians claimed to have
whipped the soldiers. and that not one of
their number received a scratch. They
showed several Krag-Jorgenson rifles.
taken from probably where the soldiers
had fought. but they did not understand
their use. The Indians will now go back
to their homes and live peacefully. If the
whites will treat them fairly. which is
very likely. as the whites were thorough
ly impressed by the stand taken by the
Indians. In this respect this outbreak
has taught them lesson.
Commissioner Jones will RECON-
mend reform in the existing timber
methods. either adopting the system
now prevalent at Menomonie. Wis. Of
keeping the timber profits within the
tribe itself. by having the timber cut
by individual Indians or by advertis-
ing certain portion of the reservation
each year to be sold to the highest
bidder. The latter system would in
clude dead and down timber and the
timber would have to be cut clean.

At the present time there is only
one railroad in China, which was built
by Ii Hung Chang and is under the
control of the government. The
trouble now threatening between Eng
land and Russia has arisen through
the reputation by China of contract
with the Hongkong and Shanghai
bank to build a road from Tientsin via
-Hai-Kwon to New-Chwang. The
bank is owned almost entirely by
English capitalists, although q few
Americans hold stock in it. The pro-
posed new road was an important
part of the railroad system under de-
velopment in China. At its northern
terminal it was to have connected with
the Manchurian road, which formed
the connecting link with the great
transsiberian route. On the south it
would have tapped, through Tiertsin
and the road reaching to the Yang
tse river, the rich valley which is
Chinas chief source of agricultural
wealth. The proposed road, which the
Hongkong and Shanghai bank held
the contract to build, ran through the
Russian sphere of influence. Con-
sequently Russia brought great infiu-
ence to bear upon the Chinese govern
ment to prevent the carrying out of
the terms Of the contract.

Chicago, Oct 2S.-The gale which
began Tuesday continued most of the
day yesterday. but at 10 o'clock last
night the wind was going to the south
and the huge seas which have been
rolling on Lake Michigan for the past
twenty-four hours are fast running
down. The storm brought long list
of disasters to the local schooner fleet,
but there was no loss of life. a can-
vas of the craft at this end of Lake
Michigan shows the following miss
ing: Aberdeen, grain, from Chicago;
Delta, lumber from Sheboygan; BIZ
wabic, grain. from Chicago: Stafford
and McWilliams. The Delta and D. L..
Filler broke away from the steamer L..
Pahlow off Port Washington last
night The Fahlow has arrived here.
The Filler has been abandoned by her
crew, water logged. off Racine. and
the Delta is believed to be drifting,
dismasted. fifteen miles off KenoSha.
The Aloaha Went adrift from the ka.
laska and water logged off Crosse
Point. The crew were brought ashore
by the tug Perfection. Efforts were
being made last night to save the YES
sci. The Maxwell. Cape Horne and
Minerva lost canvas and deck loads.
Among marine men the most anxiety
is about the Aberdeen. 1t was hoped
she was at anchor off New Buffalo,
but n telegram from that place says
nothing has been seen of her in that
region. She had not been sighted by
incoming steamers, and from the re-
ports Of the Tuttle, at Michigan City,
the worst is feared.

CRISIS AT MADRID.

Thc CABINET May ResiEn-Spnin Has
Not Given Up Porto Rico.
Paris, Oct. 2S.-The morning papers
here treat of the fall of the French
cabinet and the scenes in the chamber
Of deputies yesterday almost to the
exclusion Of general news. All Of
them, however, dwell briefly on the
crisis at Madrid caused by a split in
the Liberal party of Spain, without,
however, direct reference to the Paris
peace commissions, except in the case
of a new paper. Ia volante, which, in
q Madrid article dealing with the in
terllal situation in Spain, sums up as
follows:
Whatever may be said one way or
the other regarding the situation, one
thing is apparent-that the moment is
badly chosen for q ministerial crisis.
When dreadful calamities threaten
Spain from the outside and at the
moment where her destinies are being
decided by the Paris conference and
at the moment when her flag is
crushed at Porto Rico. the liberal
party is in n state of chaos and dis
agreement aud in the face of Ameri-
can pretensions which are daily be-
coming more arrogant, Spain finds
herself with n ministry without au-
thorlty. Never has she needed more
lmperatively strong government, one
more Watchful or awake to outside
questions. Instead Of this. miserable
internal quarre!s are distracting the
attention of those who now ought to
nave no other preoccupation than the
salvation of their country.
The Matin, closing brief resume of
the Spanish crisis. says:
The council delberated on the GUS
toms tariff Of Porto Rico. prematurely
considered as no longer forming part
Of Spain.

Paris, Oct. 27.-Although there is
evidence OF suppressed excitement on
all sides here over the cabinet crisis
and the rioting that followed it last
night. there has been no disturbance
of public order to-day. The police and
municipal guards are out in strong
force and they will not permit the
crowds to assume dangerous strength.
But the situation was eargerly dis
cussed by excited groups in the main
streets.
President Faure this morning re-

Of the chamber of deputies, who adj

In the lobbies of the chamber Of
deputies the deputies of all shades Of
opinion expressed the conviction that
NJ. Delcasse should remain at the head
Of the foreign office, in order to as->
sure the continuity of the Fashoda De-
gotiations.
A feeling distinctly more peaceful re-
garding the Fashoda affair prevails

the crisis quietly and the belief is
stronger than it was yesterday that Nj.

sPANIARDs ARE VERY SMOOTH.
Their Presentation of Their Cnse
Commands Admiration.


Washington, Oct. 2S.-There are in
dications that the peace commission
ers in Paris are approaching the end
of the consideration of the question of
Cuba and Porto Rico. Officials here
would not be surprised if to-day's ses-
SIGN of the commission concluded
those subjects, leaving the commission
free to take up the most important.
subject Of the protocol. namely, the
disposition of the Philippines. The
Spanish case has been presented with
ability and adroitness that commands
the admiration of diplomats without
regard to nationality, and even our
own officials have been compelled to
yield tribute of respect to the aryu-
ments produced, but they have been of
no avail in effecting any substantial
change in the first attitude of the
American commissioners. who are
holding strictly to the line of pro.
ceedure originally outlined. 1t is ex-
pected here that henceforth, after the
courteous intimation that has been
conveyed to the Spanish commission,
that it is to regard the Cuban and
Porto Rican matters as settled, better
progress will be made towards the
final conclusion Of treaty Of peace.
