Indians Arc Mad.

The Indian situation on the reserva-
tion is rather serious. At the confer
ence between Agent Sutherland and
the Indians they stated that their
grievance was that f-breeds and
others from the White Earth reserva-
ton had q contract on the Leech Lake
reservation for cutting dead and down
timber, which they wanted stopped.
The agent Informed them that it was
a matter for the department to settle.
The spokesman replied that they did
not intend to follow the laws any
longer, but would do what their he arts
told them to do, even to fighting; and
that their rights had been trampled
on too long.
They will not surrender the two In
dians for whom bench warrants have
been issued. It. will be difficult to
capture them on account of the dense
pine forests and so many lakes which
form avenues of escape.

AN IMPRESSIVE TRIBUTE.

The Brazilian Minister'S farewell interview
with President Mckinley on Wednesday was
made remarkable and impressive by the address
with which he accompanied the presentation OF
his letters Of recall The sentiments expressed
by departing Minister on such an occasion,
while often entirely sincere, are commonly con-
vcntiona in form and forgotten almost as soon
MS they have been spoken. But Senior De Men
donca chose to take leave Of the President and
people of the United States in On unusual man
ner, with the purpose OF adding to the record or
his protracted and honorable service delibcr-
ate avowal of the deep interest and admiration
with which his study of our institutions has in
spired him. and doubtless also with the benevo-
lent desire Of winning n new title TO the regard
OF those among whom he has lived for many
years We venture to assure him that his es-
teen is heartily reciprocated and that his culo-
gy rendered doubly significant by the c!rcuin-
stances in which 1t was delivered. will be CRATE
