AFTER MANY YEARS.
Nez Perce Scouts Just Receiving Their Pay
From the Government.

Through the Office of the commissioner
of Indian affairs, Indian Agent Stranahan
received last week draft for ,577 with
which to pay the Indian scouts employed
by the U. S. government to assist General
o. o. Howard during the Nee Perez war of
II. So often has the attempt been made to
secure this money for the Indian scouts
that when Agent Stranahan commenced
preparing affidavits and taking testimony
to substantiate their claims last winter,
several of them refused to testify, having
lost all confidence i'll the former promises
OF the government. Indian scouts have
always proven very valuable in all Indian
outbreaks and no less so in the war of
1877. One of the requirements of the
government was that each scout should
furnish his own horse and many borrow
ed horses with the understanding that
they shonld pay for the same when they
received their pay from the government.
Although outlawed I6 years these Indians
are cheerfully paying these obligations.
OF the 4I scouts IS are dead and their
heirs are enjoying the belated payment
for their services. During this war one
scout was killed, one wounded and four
captured by the hostiles. This belated
recognition of these Indian services is the
result of Senator Shoup's efforts in their
behalf, he having closely followed the
appropriation to cover the same through
both houses.

London y..w of si,ua,,or.

| London July 1S-4 a. m.-The news
of the Manchuria disturbances Is not
regarded as justifyng the serious view
attributed by the Daily Mails advices,
Amur, the boundary territory between
eastern Siberia and Manchuria, has
| been the scene of local disturbances for
long time owing to the provocative
conduct of the Cossacks toward the
twenty-five thousand Chinese employed
! in the construction of the Russo M an
churan railroad.
Several serious collisions have occur
red between the Cossacks and the Chi
nese troops. One happened several
weeks ago, when two Russian officers
and sixteen men were killed. The ex-
tension Of the Boxer movement to Man.
churia has resulted In a great destruc-
tion of the railroad, compelling the Rus
slams to withdraw their officials. The
Chinese tried to stop the Russian
steamer Michael, carrying ammunition.
and the steamer Selenga, with the Rus
sian frontier commission on board, from
passing up the Amur at Aigun. They
fired on the steamers wounding an OIL
Ger and a few men, but the steamers
reached Blagoveschnesk. The local Chi
nese commander at Aigun seems to
have sent the Russians sort of ultl-
matum to quit Manchuria.
The Chinese, according to the Daily
Mails st. Petersburg correspondent,
have thrown up fortiticatlons and
placed forty guns at a point twelve
miles from Aigun to dispute the prog
ress of the Russians. The official Rus
stan advices leave the inference that
Blagoveschesek Is still in Russian
hands, the Russian losses during the
bombardment being only three killed
and five wounded.
The Amur military district was mo-
bilized fortnight ago on war foot
ing; and it is believed that the Rus
sian forces there are 90 1000 men and
hunrded and twelve guns The COVER
nor general has now ordered the troops
on the frontier to form a Gordon. The
Russian papers demand severe retribu-
ton for Chinese audacity in Manchuria
but they hold to the view that Russia
must persevere in her resolution to
avoid war.
The Chinese minister In St. Peters
burg has disaYowed the events in Man
churia in behalf Of his government and
has promised to make serious represen-
tations to Pekin regarding the conse-
quences that will follow if the hostili-
ties there do not cease.
There Is little further news from
China this morning. The attack upon
the native city of Tien Tsin was fol-
lowed up so swiftly that the Chinese
never had time to reorganize and once
their limbs We're broken their retreat
rapidly became a rout.
Ii Hung Chang has already left Can
ton. This causes utmost anxiety for
the safety of the Europeans there as
there are only two gunboats, one Brit
ish and one American, at Canton pend
ing the arrival Of the French gunboat.

July 16:
I'm an interview with the foreign

to save the lives of the foreign minis
tiers and to arrange the best possible
terms of peace with the allied powers.
The American and French consuls,
while congratulating him upon these
commendable purposes, reminded him
of his pledges to protect foreigners and
to preserve peace in southern and CEN
trail China.
Earl Ii replied that he must obey
the summons to Pekin but that he had
taken all necessary precautions. He
added that he had received important
cables from Lord Salisbury and NJ Del
casse demanding protection for the for
eign ministers in Pekin and threatening
to take lie for life of the high officials
responsible If the ministers were muir
dered. He told the consul that he was
the only man in China who dared trans
NIT such messages to the empress, but
that he had sent them verbatim and
that he did not doubt tha. they had
exerted a powerful influence in saving
the ministers lives.
"He went on to say that he had in
duced all the viceroys except two to join
in a lengthy memorial to the throne,
asking security for the foreigners, sup
preston of the Boxers and full repara-
ton for the damage done and the lives
lost.
ITO the American consul who inquir-
ed about the actual safety Of the for
eigners in Pekin, Ii answered that he

Instructor Eastman Charged with nj ur-
dering His Brother-tD.Lsw.
Cambridge, Mass, July 1.-THE hears
ing of Charles r. Eastman. the Har-
ward university instructor, charged
with the murder of his brother-in- law.
Richard T. Grogan, jr., on July 4, was
opened in the third district court before
Judge Almy to-day. 1t is alleged that
Grogan was shot by Eastman on the
afternoon of the Fourth of July, while
the men were engaged in q revolver
practice in this city. Eastman claims
that the shooting was accidental, while
the attorney for the state holds that it
was intentional. Bell Bryan, who was
a servant at the house where the shoot
ing occurred, testified that Grogan fell
down the embankment crying out i've
been murdered" The witness saw East
man had an old revolver in his hand at
the .ime.
Mrs. Mary Millner a professional
nurse, testified that she saw Grogan on
the ground. Eastman was also there's
Grogan said, looking at Eastman:
There Is the man who shot me-" and
Eastman responded, saying "Yes, 7 did
kill him, but did not mean it, 1t was
an accident" Grogan responded by
saying, HE did mean IT,
Leroy P. Pillson was next on the
stand. He heard Grogan say, "No,
saw him do 1t purposely."
George S. Hutchins testified that Gro-
gan declared Eastman has murdered
me. He shot me twice. He did 1t pur-
posely.'" Eastman simply shook his
head, while Grogan was talking. "A lit
tie later Grogan repeated the words,
"Yes he did It. Yes he did it."
Lewis g. Thayer testified that he
heard Grogan say Eastman has mur-
dered me. He shot me twice"
John r. Grogan, brother Of, the dead
man. gave testimony in relation to a.
quarrel which occurred in November,
1899, at which time Grogan accused
Eastman and his family Of living on
him. The men were about to come to
blows when witness interefered and it
was ended by Eastman's saying .sI'll

years"

heart of the Boxer movement, so that
the great Viceroy now assumes supreme
power at the point of greatest danger
| Minister WI Is satisfied that if Ii Hung
Chang had been at Pekin there would
/, have been no such outbreak as has oc-
CURED, as the viceroy is stern mill
tary man, who believes in nipping
such movements in the bud. The state
department officials are anxious to ac-
cept Wu'S message as accurate, but
there are some clouds of doubt about
it. The question naturally arises, as
it has many times in the past two
weeks, if the Chinese government can
communicate in this way with it's rep
resentatives abroad, why can it not per-
NIT the foreign ministers represented to
be under it's protection, also to COM
municate with their governments? In
answer to the other question as to what
purpose would be served by misrep-
resentation of facts in this fashion, it
is pointed out that one result desired
by the Chinese would be the preserva-
tion of Tien Tsin and another would be
the abatement of the popular resent
ment against the Chinese, temporarily
at least.
Ii Hung Chang will replace as vice.
roy of the great province of Chi Ii a
man who has been notoriously anti-for-
eign in his sentiments and actions. The
summons to Ii is regarded as a hope
full sign. 1t could have been inspired
by two motives-first, the great vice.
roy may have been called to Pekin by
the imperial government in order that
1t might avail itself of his wisdom and
experience with foreigners to extricate
from the present position. The second
motive, and one not so promising for a
speedy settlement of the trouble is that
old Lii has been called upon to establish
communications with the foreign COM
manders and diplomatic Representatives
with the deliberate purpose of sowing
dissension among them and paralyzing
all efforts at joint action. The officials
here are perfectly satisfied that any
such move as this would come to
naught, being thoroughly sure now that
no matter what doubt may have been
entertained at one stage, each and every
one of the great powers represented in
the field in China is loyalty living up to
its pledge to attain the objects set out
In secretary Hays identical note to the
powers. This statement is true as to
Russia as well as to other powers, ac-
cording to the best authority.
Confirmation of the transfer of Ii
Hung Chang to the north came to the
state department not only from Minis
ter Wu, but in cablegram from Consul
Goodnow at Shanghai. 1t is stated that
LII Hung Chang has started from Can
ton on his way to Pekin. 1t is expect
ed that he will land at Taku or at Shan
Hal Kuan, port on the Gulf of Uechi
Ii, connected by good road with Pekin.
If the viceroy can get into Pekin he
also can carry messages to the foreign
ministers if they are still alive, and
without doubt the state department as
well as the European prime ministers
will seize the opportunity to make one
more test of the truth of the latest re-
ports respecting the safety Of the lega-
TONERS.
