How Indians Are Cheated.

George Bird Griunell in the Atlantic
A few years later than this, l was pres
ent at a reservation in the Indian terri
tory, says George Bird Grinnell in the
February Atlantic. when a commission
was negotiating with the Indians to in
duce them to take their lands in several
ty, and to sell the surplus The commits
siouers made no secret of the fact that
the administratio had urged them to car
~ through the sale, because at the next
election they wished to go before the peo-
pie with the statement that they had
thrown open to settlement by the public a
certain number of acres of Indian reser-
vations This statement would influence
many votes in the West; 1t would be a good
political cry. The negotiations began.
and by persuasion, promises. and at last
by threats about one-third of the Indians
were induced to sign the agreement After
that signatures came in very slowly. The
commissioners hired their Interpreters to
assist them to obtain signers. The attor-
neys, who claimed that they had been re-
talned by the Indians to defend their
rights, worked hard to induce the people
to sign. These attorneys were working
on a contingent fee-"the usual 10 per cent
for coliection"-and. of course, would re-
ceive nothing unless the treaty went
through and the sale was made. indians
who were corrupt were hired, / was told
to vote more than once, signing first the
name by which they went at the time.
then the name which they had borne ear
lier in life, and later perhaps some still
earlier name. The names of absent school,
boys were added to the list on the mere
statement by some Indian that they were
in favor Of the sale. So by Cabling
promising bribing, browbeating bullying
and using Illegal votes. the sale, which
was bitterly opposed by one-half the tribe
was at last carried through by bare ma
fority.

would reject the proposition without ado.
You see, we might get into some trouble
over in Europe and the Americans would
very rightfully inquire: What have We
to do with that? My first proposition
was for commercial al

not included, because they are not es-

JAPANESE ADJUSTMENTS.
How the Gentlemen of the Country
Pass Their Time.

From the Forum
While connected with the Third Higher
Middle School. in Osaka, was called on
one afternoon by one of my scholars, who
had been sent by a gentleman to invite
me to spend the next day with him and
some Of his friends In the pursuit of pleas
ure, after the Japanese fashion. l was
told that my host would send for me about
O'Clock and that my young pupil himself
would be in attendance to act as inter-
prefer in case my knowledge of the lam
clear understanding Of the conversation
and Of the play-the theater was to be
the scene of our frolic during much of
the day-which would be essential to my
enjoyment.
Next morning promptly at the hour nam
ed arrived a handsome jinriksha, drawn
by two men in livery, and / was taken to
my entertainers town house, where
met some of his friends. We were served
with cigarettes, tea, cakes and tiny cup
or two of the finest sake. AT II we went
10 very fine restaurant, and the first
course of an elaborate meal was served
a cup of sake and some comhts. Then
the geisha. or professional singing and
dancing girls, ana the samlsen players ap-
peared to add to the entertainment. They
did not devote themselves exclusively to
their arts; for some Of them helped in
serving the sake and engaged in conversa-

who had been detailed especially to attend

well able to make me understand her con

EXPANSION DUE TO TRUSTS.
SUCH IMPETUS TO TRADE, How

Enlargement of Business Due 10

New York, Feb. T.-R. G. Dun & Co.
Weekly Review of Trade will say to-
morrow:
Beyond question business is expanding
and in many branches it Is larger not
withstanding speculative combinations
which tend to reduce IL. All monopoles
or attempted monopodies, stimulate bust
ness while they are coming, but tend to
stihe 1t after they come, and the thronS
of combinations and trusts which have
been formed or proposed have given a
temporary but very questionable impetus
to trade. But beyond the influence of
these there Is a genuine and substantial
enlargement of business due to the un-
exampled prosperity of a growing popu-
lation.
The weeks output Of pig iron Feb.
I was 237 $50 tons, against 243,5l6
Ian. /. and 2S5,52S Dec. l. The aver
age weekly production thus indicated was
about 1000 tons greater in January than
in December, and the unsold stocks were
reduced 1851 tons in January, against 81
449 in December. so that the apparent con-
sumption in manufacture was in January
1,110.O79 tons, against 1,09S l76 In December.
The stoppage of several furnaces for ne
cessary repairs at a time when the de-
mand is most pressing has caused some
fear of famine. although quite number
of other furnaces have started since Feb.

recorded in any months Is in part due to
the hasty purchas of products about 10

Exports Oh OraIhs
No fictitious demand has caused the rise

When 1t is remembered exports of corn are
almost as large as the largest ever known,
