ALIEN CLAIMS.

HOUSE REINSERTS THE HANS
BROUGH AMENDMENTS TO THE
ALASKAN CIVIL CODE BILL AND
THEY WILL PROBABLY BE SENT
TO CONFERENCE.
Washington, May 1G.-The house
committee on revision of the laws has
inserted in the Alaskan civil bill,
which has been before it couple of
weeks, the Hansbrougn amendment
barring aliens from locating mining
claims in the territory. Those amend
ments were debated in the senate for
three weeks, and finally withdrawn by
Hansbrough, who realized the bill
would be defeated if they went in.
This action by the house committee
means that the Hansbrough amend
ments will probably be adopted by the
house and sent to conference. This
question of citizenship in Alaska is one
of the utmost Importance, and many
OF the richest claims in Cape Nome will
be affected should Hansbrough's prop
osition to bar all alien claims be
adopted.

FREE HOMES.

SENATE PASSES THE FREE HOME
STEAD BlLL-ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT PIECES OF LEGIS-
LAT1ON TO THE NORTHWEST.
Washington, May 1G.-The senate
has passed the free homes bill and it
is generally conceded among north
western senators and members in the
states most affected by the legislation
that the free homestead bill is the
most important legislation for the
people of that section that has passed
in recent years. 1t is calculated oy
the friends of the bill that it will afford
relief to more than $4,000 entryn, ~,
who have been unable to pay for the
lands upon which they have settled.

trymen who will b.. saved a part of the

BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA FRIDAY, 49, 1906

ion exists as to the possible ultimate
cost to the government as a result of
the passage of the bill. 1t has been
estimated at from $15,OOO,OOO to $685.
100000. The question turns upon the
amount of lands that were to be taken
by settlers. Most of the reservations
that have been opened have been paid
for by the government and the funds
are held in trust for the Indians. The
Chippewa lands in Minnesota are
opened upon the condition that such
as are sold to settlers shall be paid for
by the payments being turned over to
the Indians. The estimate is that
about million acres of Indian lands
in Minnesota will be opened to free
homestead entry by the bill, which
will now go to the president for his
signature.

CUBAN SCANDALS.

Washington, May Ex-senator Ba-
con called up the resolution authoriz-
ing an investigation of the Cuban pos
tai affair and spoke thereto. He said
the country wanted to know how
money being collected was expended.
Levying taxes in the island should be
explained. The expenditure of money
by our officials was the most extrava-
giant ever heard of. He read from
the report of the secretary of war to
show the last years round number re-
ceipts in Cuba were sixteen millions,
and the expenditures fourteen millions.
He said the press had exposed the
worst extravaganza ever heard of.

INDIAN DELEGATES.

TWO OF THEM IN TODAY'S CON-
VENTlON AT r'ARGO-THE AD-
VENT OF THE REDMAN IN POL
ITICS.
Fargo, May 16.-In the state con-
vention which convened here today
were two interesting figures in the per-
sons of two full blood Indians from
the Elbowoods district, near the Fort
Berthold Agency. In the district are
800 Indian voters who have taken
lands in severalty and who have at
tanned citizenship under federal
statute which went into effect year
or two ago. Under the call, and en-
tirely of their own volition, these vot-
ers held a convention to nominate del
egates to Fargo. With the assistance
of two bright young members of the
tribe, who are college graduates, the
convention was regularly held accord
ing to white mans parliamentary
rules and the two young graduates
were selected to go to Fargo and as
sist in the preliminaries for the renom-
ination of the Great Father''-McKin-
ley.
Some of the Indians saidthat white
mans delegates told what to do," so
the delegates to Fargo were told what
to do and in addition the hat was
passed around, so that they would not
be ''in debt to white man" and suffi-
cient money was collected to pay their
expenses.
The action Of the Indians is partic-
ularly pleasing to Agent Richards of
the Fort Berthold Agency, as it illus
trates plainly the good effect, and the
influence associating civilized meth
DDS, business and political, has had

CLEW'S FINANCIAL REVIEW.


New York, May 12.-The reaction
ary movement in the stock market de-
veloped strength last week, and the
tendency has been much less bullish
than two weeks ago. Good reasons
exist for strictly moderate reaction.
Values Of good properties were often
pretty high; and more or less liquida-
tion of speculative accounts was inevi-
table in the absence of fresh stimulus
to outside buying. General trade shows
some signs of less activity; but not
more than could be reasonably ex-
pected after the rush of the past six
months. AS a whole, however, the
business situation is sound and prom
ising. The approach of a presidential
election acts as a detriment in some
quarters, much more than it really
should, but there is every prospect of
renewed revival of business when
the elections have been discounted and
values brought down to more normal
level. The immediate future of the
stock market is somewhat problem
atical. There is no reason for any i'm
portant declines. The industrials
have already dropped considerably be-
low top figures, while the railroads
are making such excellent returns that
no anxiety need be manifested should
they cease overtopping the big gains Of
1899.

BONDSMEN PLEASED.

Grand Forks, May 1G.-The decision
of the supreme court in the Wording
case is pleasing to the bondsmen here.
Catherine L. Wording died at Ra-
cine, Wis.,, in 1890, leaving a will in
which S. w. Mclaughlin was named
as executor, and he received letters
from the probate courts both at Ra-
cine and Grand Forks. the will having
been probated at both places. The
terms of the will provided that Nc
Laughlin accumulate the estate until
there were sufficient funds on hand to
pay all legacies.
When Mclaughlin failed in this city
in 90, the probate court here required
him to render an accounting of the es-
tate, which he did, and Judge Carothers
found him short to the extent of over
$4,000. Mclaughlin at this time ten
dered his resignation as executor
which was accepted and Willis A. Joy
was appointed in his stead and at once
brought an action to recover the
amount of the shortage against Nc
I.aughlin's bondsmen, among whom
are such prominent men as County
Treasurer Elton, Investment Banker
John Birkholz, George B. Winship and
others.
The case was tried in this city last
December, before Judge Fisk of the
First judicial district, who granted a
motion for a directed verdict for the
defense. Defendant made the motion
on the grounds that the Racine county
court had exclusive jurisdiction; that
the will created trust and that Nc
Laughlin was acting in the dual capa-
city of executor and trustee and that
the defaults were as trustee and not as
executor, and various other grounds.
Joy appealed to the supreme court
and that body by it's decision sustained
Judge Fisk in giving directed verdict
in favor of the defendant bondsmen.
Bosard & Bosard represented the plain
tiff and though the decision was
against their client they are credited
with putting up very strong case.
Templeton & Rex and Burke Corbet
represented the bondsmen, Scott Rex
preparing the brief and making the ar
gument before the supreme court.

SURPRISED.

JAMESTOWN PEOPLE SURPRISED
AT THE WALKOVER OF JUDGE
GLASPELL- LL-STUTSMAN S DELE
CATION NOT HAPPY.
jamestown, May 16.-While not al
together unexpected, the overwhelm-
ing victory of Judge Glaspell came as
a surprise to the people here who had
looked for close vote. The fight has
been one of the hottest in the state on
both sides, but the judges combina-
tion with Major White enabled him to
carry the outside. counties, regardless
of his defeat in his home county, and
secure the nomination. 1t is claimed
that this combination gives Major
White 70 votes to the state convention
from this district.
In the convention speeches were
made by S. E. Ellsworth, Harry Corn
wall, o. J. Seller and L. B. Hardy of
this city, after which the roll was
ordered. The vote stood by counties
as follows:
For Glaspell- II votes,
Logan 5, Barnes 25, Wells II, Foster
s, Eddy 10. Total 70.
For Bartlett-Stutsman 49,, Griggs
10. Total 20.
Editor Mexican of the Sanborn En-
terprise was elected chairman and
Hon. Geo. w: Solliday of Darlington
secretary of the convention. Judge
Glaspell was nominated by Attorney
Blackwell of LaMoure.

NJ. E. RESOLUTIONS.

COMMITTEE SCOLDS PRESIDENT
Mch1NLEY FOR NOT ENFORCING
ANTI-CANTEEN CON-
GRESHAM JOHNSON OBJECTS.
Chicago, May 1G.-The Methodist
Episcopal general conference commit
tee on temperance, of which Samuel
Dickie of Michigan is chairman, and
of which ex-Congressman Johnson of
North Dakota, a Champion for the an
ti-canteen law, is member, adopted
resolutions today, which, in the minds
of number of the convention, at least,
is a direct slap at President Mckinley,
because of his acquiescence in the de-
cision of Attorney General Griggs de-
claring the law ineffective.
Delegate Johnson took exception to
the portion of the report which reads
as follows:
1--WE deplore the fact that our gen.
eral government by it's internal rev.
enue system continues to give legal
recognition to so corrupt business,
especially do we condemn the course
of the government in accepting and
collecting revenue from persons in
prohibition towns or state which are
known to the officers of the treasury
department to be engaged in the vio-
lation of prohibitory laws" His OBJ
jections were opposed and the section
of the report was adopted.
