w aSnln9IOn, u. I. Jan. 1O-
The Court of Claims today rem
dered a decision which probably |
means the payment by the govern
ment of several millions of dollars
to the Choctaw and Chickasaw In
dians. Involved in the case is the
question of title, or at least equity,
in over 100000 acres of land in
the Indian Territory. Congress au-
thoriZed the suit to be brought to
settle this question of title, after
having paid the Indians of these
two tribes a large equity claim
when the Cheyenne and ArapahOe
lands were made part Of Oklahoma
and thrown open to settlement.
The style of the case decided today
/ is THE Choctaw and Chickasaw
Nations against the United States
and the Wichita and affiliated bands
of Indians
Many years ago the Choctaws
and Chickasaws parted with the
large tracts west OF their home
lands under an agreement that the
United States was to use them only
I for reservations on which to settle
friendly tribes. Now that these
reservations are being broken up,
the lands to be allotted in home
steads to the occupying Indians
and the surplus sold to white set
tiers. the Choctaws and Chickasaws
claim that their title still holds and
that they should be recompensed
before the surplus can be disposed
! of by the government.
The decision today is that the
lands in the Wichita reservation
are held in trust by the govern
ment for the be1efit of the ChOc-
taws and Chirkasaws. This sus :
tains the claim of the Indians
= Their equity must be extinguished
before the government can acquire
a clear title. But while the decis-
ion only applies formally to the
Wichita reservation, it must stand
as the precedent for much larger
bodies of land. In the recent
agreement made between the gov
ernment and the ChOctaw and
Chickasaw nations it was stipulat-
ed thGt the decision in this case
should be the basis of settlement
as well for the lands occupied by
the kiowas and Comanches anG
also for Greer county. In the
Wichita reservation is about 75O,.
900 acres. The Kiowas and Co
manches have in round number:
y 5000, 900 acres. Greer county
the title of which the United
States won after hard legal figh
with the state of Texas, has L,
800, 900 acres. Altogether the lanC
. involved is over 1000, 900 acres.

THE ROUGH RIDERS.
Col. Roosevelt Describes the Char
ncter and Kind OF Men He
Commanded.

Then I went down to San Antonio
myself, where l found the men from
New Mexico. Arizona and Oklahoma al
ready gathered, while those from In
dian territory came in soon after my
arrival.
These were the men who made up the
bulk Of the regiment, and give it it's
peculiar character. They came from
the four territories which yet remain
within the boundaries of the United
States; that is, from the lands that.have
been most recently won over to white
civilization, and in which the condi-
tions of life are nearest those that OBJ
tc;ned on the frontier when there still
was a frontier. They were a splendid
set of men, these southwesterners-ta
and sinewy, with resolute, weather
beaten faces, and eyes that looked a
man straight in the face without finch
ing. They included in their ranks men
Of every occupation; but the three
types were those of the cowboy, the
hunter and the mining prospector-the
man who wandered hither and thither,
killing game for living, and spend
ing his life in the quest for metal
wealth.
In all the world there could be no
better material for soldiers than that
afforded by these grim hunters of the
mountains, these wild rough riders OF
the plains. They were accustomed to
handling wild and savage horses; they
were accustomed to following the
chase with the rifle, both for sport and
as a means of livelihood Varied
though their occupations had been, al
most all had. at one time or another,
herded cattle and hunted big game.
They were hardened to life in the open,
and to shifting for themselves under
adverse circumstances. They were
used, fo- all their lawless freedom. to
the rough discipline of the roundup
and the mining company. Some Of
them came from the small frontier
towns; but most were from the wilder
ness. having left their lonely hunters
cabins and shifting cow-canps to seek
new and more stirring adventures be-
yond the sea.-Col. Theodore Roose-
welt, in Scribner's.

AguInaldO Hated.

Philadelphia, November 1.-Two
Filipinos arrived in this city on the
bark Calburga, which reached this
port with cargo of hemp from Ma
nila after voyage Of 141 days, Their
names are Cerferino and Morris
Canon, and both express extreme
hatred for Aguinaldo. In speaking OF
the war in the Philippines, Cerferino
said.
"The Filipinos are losing ground,
and | do not think the war will last
much longer. Aguinaldo is tyrant.
lie fools his people, who are ignorant
followers, and makes them believe
that II the Americans get possession
Of the islands they will be treated
worse than they were by the Span
iards, Many Of them still think they
are fighting Spaniards, and do not
know any better.
"When there are any signs of weak
ening among his troops, Aguinaldo
whips them back into line by threat
ening TO kill them. He and his lieu.
tenants have thousands of Filipnos
who would be good aud peaceful citi'
zens If they were not forced to fight
to help him get money and power.
"In Manila and other places where
the Americans are in control, every
thing is quiet and peaceful, The peo'

Berlin, Oct. Silt is asserted In

peror William Is the sole moving
spirit in the new naval programme
The present agitation was under
taken without first consulting the
bundesrath and really against the
wishes Of that body.
The emperor's speech at Hamburg
on the occasion OF the launching Of
the new battleship, Kaiser Karl der
Crosse, was designed, it is said, moi
only to critlclse the reichslag, but to
censure the bundesrath, which has
not followed his majestys urging,
particularly Bavaria and Wurtem'
burg, whose representatives in the
federal council have hitherto opposed
the kaiser's naval ambitions.
His majesty, still according to the
aame informant, intends to crush out
all opposition in both bundesrath and

United States Revenue stamp Cleaned
and Used Again,

New York, Nov. 7,-Frahk G,
Thompson, chief Of the internal rev.
enue bureau in this city, declared
that at least 10 per cent Of the reve-
nue. stamps used daily in the Wall
street district, having already been
canceied, are fraudulent. Chief
Thompson has just arrested in New
ark, Caleb L. Crockett and c. j. Lee,
on charge Of restoring Cancelled
revenue stamps and selling them for
use second time.
1t is estimated by Chief Thompson
that the government is defrauded Of
at least $4,000 day by the use Of
secondhand stamps in the section of
the city south Of Fulton street. He
says thai revenue stamps worth
about $4,000 are daily required in
The TRANSACTIONS Of that district, and
that 10 per cent Of this total is rep
resented in restored stamps.
Crockett" Chief Thompson said,
'was manager of a large establish
ment in Newark, and his position was
important and lucrative. He has been
engaged in washing stamps for a long
time"
Messenger boys, Mr. Thompson
said, are engaged to large extent
by the stamp swindlers in carrying
on their work. He told of finding
