Chickasaw 1ncompetents, Fund.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Assistant At
torney General VanDeventer, of the in
terror department, has rendered de-
cision which was approved by Secretary
of the Interior Hitchcock, upon the act
passed by the Chickasaw council for the
distribution per capita of what is known
as the ''Incompetents' fund" of the
Chickasaw nation. In the original
treaty between the United States and
the Chickasaws it was provided that
certain lands should be sold to create
the fund for the incompetents of the
nation. This fund amounts new to
$4,000 Under the decision just ap-
proved, the incompetents or their de-
scendants, if they can be found and
identified, are entitled to the interest
on the original amount set aside, and
the remainder of the fund can be dis
tributed by the Chickasaw nation.

Pension SHARKS ATTACKED.
Mr.. Curtis Leads an Assault Upon
Commissioner Evans.
ATTORNEYS FEES HELD UP.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Pension appro-
priation bill, carrying s145, 245, $50, is
passed by the house. 1t was made the
vehicle of an attack upon the commits
sioner of pensions by Mr.. Curtis, Of
Kansas, who was seconded by Mr..
Lentz and Mr.. Norton of Ohio, Mr..
Robinson of Indiana and others. All
inveighed against the lack of hberality
in the administration of the pension
laws. The commissioner was ably de-
Tended by score of members from
both sides of the house. Mr.. Mahan
Rep., Pa.) charged that the assault
upon him had been instigated by the
pension sharks" of this city, who were
robbing the old soldiers.
After a prolonged discussion in COM
mittee of the whole the bill was report
ed to the house with the following
amendment: provided, that the COM
missioner of pensions shall furnish all
necessary blanks to claimants and that
said commissioner may in his discre-
ton refuse to pay the fee to attorney
of record when he is satisfied that said
attorney failed to prepare the case un.
der his or her personal supervision and
did not discharge his full duty to
claimant"
The amendment was promptly agreed
to by the house and the bill was then
passed.

Carriers Called Down.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The interstate
commerce commission in an opinion by
Commissioner Clements, announced its
decision of the case of the Savannah
bureau of freight and transportation
and others against the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company and 9th
ers. The commissioner rules that a
carrier cannot lawfully establish and
maintain an adjustment of rates which
in practice prevents shippers on it's
line from availing themselves of a
principal market, which they have
long been using and confers substan-
tial monopoly upon new market in
which, for reasons of its own, it has
greater interest.
Another ruling is that when q car
rier makes a rate to two competing
markets which gives the one practical
monopoly over the other, it goes be-
yond serving its fair interest, and dis
regards the statutory requirement of
relative quality as between persons,
localities and particular descriptions of
raffic

NEW RAILROAD COMBINE.
Thousands of Employees to be Dis
pensed With.
STOPS ALL COMPETITION.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-As result Of the
recent consultations and agreements
among the owners of the great trunk
railways east of Chicago, the entire
transportation system between the
Mississippi river and the Atlantic sea-
board is to- be recognized, involving
important changes. The plan includes
the abandonment of city ticket Offices.
The discharge of all city, general, trav-
cling and district freight and passenger
agents and solicitors of the eastern
roads in all parts of the United States
Canada and Europe. This will affect
nearly 900 men. Also the abolition
of commission on sales of tickets, the
discharge of all superfiuous assistants to
the heads of departments of the indi-
yidual roads; the abandonment of a
pumber of fast passenger trains. which
were established as the result of COM
petition; the same concerning fast
freight trains; the establishing of
common schedules on competing lines;
the establishment in New York of a
board of control made ofpersons repre-
Senting theVanderbilts, Pennsylvania,
Morgan and Harrison properties, the
rulings of this board on all questions
to be final
When all this is accomplished on
eastern roads then the west will be
treated in the same manner
The failure of congress to legalize
pooling is given as the cause of the
consolidation, as the owners are deter
mined to pool if the purchase of every
road in the country is necessary to OBJ
tain that end.

A MINNESOTA FARMER
Does Well i'm Western Canada.
Virden. Man. Nov. Is. 1ss

Virden, Man, Nov. Is, 1899.
Hon. Clifford Sifton, Minister of the
Interior, Ottawa, Canada-Sir: Think
ing that my experience in Manitoba
might be both useful and interesting
to my fellow-countrymen in the United
States who may be looking to Mani
toba and the northwest with the in
tention Of settling there, I have much
pleasure in stating that through in
formation received from Mr.. w. F.
McCreary, immigration commissioner
at Winnipeg, 1 was induced to visit
Manitoba in February, 1898. When 1
called upon Mr.. McCreary he spared no
pains to give me all the information,
ETC., in his possession, the result of
which was that l came here with a
letter of introduction from him to the
secretary of the Virden Board Of
Trade. That gentleman provided me
with a competent land guide, and,
although there was considerable snow
on the ground, 1 had no difficulty in
selecting three homesteaGs for myself
and sons. Having made the necessary
homestead entries at the land office in
Brandon, returned to my home in
Lyon county, Minnesota, and came back
here in May following, accompanied
by one of my boys, bringing with us
two teams of horses, implements, etc.
Our first work was to erect tempo
rary shanty and stable, after which
we broke and leveled seventy-five
acres and put up thirty tons of hay.
I went back to Minnesota about July
20, leaving my son here. 1 returned
in October, bringing my family with
me. I found that the land we had
acquired was of good quality, being
strong clay loan with clay subsoil.
Last spring sowed 100 acres in wheat
and fifty acres in oats and barley.
(Seventy-ive acres of this grain was
sowed on "go-back" plowed last
spring. My crop was thrashed in
October, the result being over 2,700
bushels of grain in all. Wheat aver
aged fifteen bushels per acre and
graded No. hard, but that which was
sown on land other than sod ego
back'O went twenty four and one-half
bushels per acre.
To say that 1 am we'll pleased with
the result of my first years farming
operations in Manitoba does not ade-
| quately express my feelings, and l
have no hesitation in advising those
! who are living in districts where land
| Is nlSn IN price 10 come out mere, II
| they are willing to do a fair amount
Of work. 1 am ten miles from Virden
which is good market town, and nine
miles from Hargrave, where there are
| two elevators. This summer I erected
| dwelling house of native stone and
bought a half-section of land adjoin-
ing our homesteads, for which 1 paid
very moderate price. There are still
some homesteads in this district, and
land of fine quality can be purchased
| from the Canadian Pacific Railway
company at $3.50 per acre on liberal
| terms. Good water is generally found
at depth of from fifteen to twenty
feet. I have IT'S acres ready for crop
next year..
The cost of living here is about the
same as in southern Minnesota. Some
commodities are higher and others
lower in price, but the average is
about the same. 1 remain, your ODE
dent servant. (Signed)
JACOB REICHERT.

Samoan Treaty Ratified.

Washington, Jan. 1s.-The senate
has ratified the Samoan treaty without
division. The ratification occurred in
the executive session after two hours
of debate which was participated in by
a number of senators.
The friends of the treaty repudiated
the assertion that the old treaty pro-
visions were annulled. They claimed
that this country by the new arrange
ment retains all the old advantages
and avoids the complication liable to
grow out of the tripartite agreement.
They urged that the opportunity
should not be lost, both to get out OF
an awkward predicament and to con-
troll in our own right the harbor OF

Naval Construction Plans,

Washington, Jan. 17.-There is nc
disposition on the part of the navy de-
partment to make any change in its
program for new naval construction
on account of the introduction of the
German bill looking to the addition OF
forty-eight armored ships to the Ger
man navy. There are now already
authorized twenty-one ships for the
navy, in addition to the feet afloat
Congress will authorize no more at
this time, and as the German increase
is to be divided among eighteen years,
it is felt that the United States navy
is in no danger of losing the position
it now commands.
