AGAINST THE INDIANS.
Supreme Court Reverses the Decis
ion of the Court of Claims.

ion of the Court of Claims.
WASHINGTON, December 10.-The
United States Supreme Court to-day
rendered an opinion in the claim of
the Wichita, Choctaw and Chickasaw
Indians in connection with the old
Wichita reservation, Justice Harlan
handing down the decision. The claim
is a complicated one and involved an
investigation of Indian claims 70 titles
going back as lar as 1918. The Indians
made a treaty with the United States
government in 1891 ceding the Wich
ita reservation and agreeing to take
100 acres of land in Severalty. They
then claimed that they were entitled
to the proceeds of the sale of the sur
plus land, and by act of Congress were
allowed to bring suit in the court of
claims. That court sustained the con-
tention OF the Indians, but to-days
opinion reverses that position, the Su
preme Court holding that in the treaty
of 1866 the Choctaw had made an alb
solute cession of the lands included in
the reservation. The court also re-
manded the case to the court of claims
with directions TO dismiss the claims
of the Choctaws and Chickasaws and
to fix such compensation to the Wich-
itas as is consistent with law. The
reservation is a part of the old leased
district of 7,5Vv, 900 acres lying between
the Red river and the Canadian river
and the 9Sth and Tooth degree of west
longitude.

GERMANY LOOKS FORWARD
70 YEARS Of DEPRESSION.
SECRETARY OF THE IMPERIAL
TREASURY SOUNDS A NOTE
OF WARNING.
A DECIDEDLY GLOOMY VIEW.
A BRIEF REVIEW OF GERMANY'S
POSITION REGARDING THE
TRANSVAAL WAR.

BERLIN, December 10-In the
Reiohsttag to-day during the debate on
the estimates, the secretary OF the i'm
perial treasury, Baron Won Thielmann,
took a decidedly gloomy view of the
economic situation in Germany. He
said the system had been undergoing
radical change since summer and peo-
pie must be prepared for number Of
years to see gradual shrnkage of the
inflated condition. The decline, how
ever, would not take the form of gen
eral financial crash, as in 1873. This
period of diminished trade could not
pass without affecting the imperial bud
get. Therefore, it was necessary to
strengthen the reserves of the treas
ury.
In 1901, said the secretary, an in
creased expenditure of %, 100000 marks
must be provided for. Consequently
the transfer Of surplus revenue to the
federal states would cease.
A general survey of the present esti-
mates afforded, the secretary remarked,
decidedly less pleasing picture than
last year.
The imperial chancellor, Count Won
Buelow, replying in the Reichstag TO i
question on the subject of Mr.. Kruger'S
failure to be received by Emperor Will
liam, said the government did all in its
power to ward off war and left the two
republics in no doubt as to the state of
affairs in Europe and as to German
neutrality. When in 1899 the question
of arbitration seemed not altogether
excluded, the government recommend
ed it to Mr. Kruger. He thought the
time had not yet come. Mr.. Kruger
later sought intervention. His feelings
were too highly inflated for the Dutch
and German governments. For the
German government 1t was lost time TO
give advice. Germany was convinced
that any steps Of great power at that
moment would be critical and led to no
result. There was no use for us, y said
the chancellor, ito pinch our ringers be-
tween the door and che hinge
The chancellor added that when the
suggestion of mediation was made to
Great Britain by the United States in a
quite gently worded inquiry, it was re-
jected officially and categorically. III
tervention might nave led to war.
The chancellor described The reply Of
on. Delcasse, the French minister of for
eign affairs to Mr.. kruger as France
Will in no case take the initiative out
would not oppose it when certain even
Qualities became known, provided they
are calculated TO serve French inter
ests."
The chancellor thereupOn remarked
that he could not have dealt with the
situation better himself. Ovations to
Mr.. Kruger in Germany, he pointed our
would have displaced national reiaNons
and served no purpose Of Mr.. Kruger
or of Germany. Germany was MOI
bound TO Great Britain by a hairs
breadth more than Great Britain was
bound to Germany. out to act the Don
Quixote against Great Britain would
be a piece OF folly for which he would
not be responsible.

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN
MAKES HIS STATEMENT
A REPLY TO THE CHARGES MADE
AGAINST HIM DURING THE
ELECTIONS.
PERSONAL HONOR INVOLVED.
DECLARES HE HAS PRACTICALLY
NO INTEREST IN ANY GOV
EMINENT CONTRACTS.

LONDON, December I'D. Lloyd
George, Radical member for Carnarvo1
district, brought together a series Of
accusations against Mr.. Chamberlain
that he had been nguring in the news
papers and moved that no member Of
the government ought to have a direct
or indirect interest IN concerns conterI-
plating for government contracts. He
pointed out that the secretary of state
for the colonies held $500 shares, and
other members of his family $1,000
Ghares in the Birmingham trust, which
in turn was a share owner in the Tubes
Limited, making G10,000,000 pounds
sterling a year out Of government con-
tracts. He asserted that Mr.. Chambe"-
lain and his relations held shares worth
from G230,000 to 9250,000 in Elliott's
Metal Company, contractors to the ad-
miralty. and shares valued at &25O,OOO
in Kyn0ch's dynamite Company, con-
tractors to the war Office. After enum-
Grating other companies in which the
Chamberlain family, ne asserted, had
drterests, Mr. George declared that he
was not attaching the private character
of the minister, but had raised the mat
ter because this case might be used as
a precedent later to corruption"
Afser various speeches for and
against the resolution, Mr.. Chamberlain
replied:
1T is my personal honor that is in
volved in this question, he said, and
| think lit hard, after twenty-five years
CT life in the full light of parliament to
have to stand up and explain that !
am ncs a scandalous thief. These at
tacKs are monstrous and absurd. /
took no notice of the charges during
the election, although there had been
ccrcpiracy Of insinuation. l had been
charged with fattenirg on the profits
of a war l had provoked.
OF all the companies mentioned, l
hold shares in two. My relations m
tend to take legal proceedings and the
public will see how these abQminaDle
charges will be dealt with by courts.
My relations are all business men and
have had to make their own fortunes.
l come Of a family which boasts moth
il-ly of distinguished birth or inherited
wealth. but as an unbroken record for
nearly two centuries of unstained COM
morcial irltegn.ty. Never during the
whole course of my pol.1cal career have
I been asked to use my influence TO Sc
cure. peouniary gain for myself or my
relations"
After having made further explana-
tons of a similar kind, Mr.. Chamber
lam exclaimed, amid ministerial cheers:
is 1t not hard to have to deal with
such rubbish as this. When all is
reekonad up. perhaps my indirect in
terest in government contracts is few
pounds or even shillings. And yet the
House of Commons is called upon to
pass a solemn resolution which will
not strike me, but will be self-deny-
ing ordnance for many members who
do not anticipate that result.
IN an eloquent per0ration the colon
ial secretary declared that the attacks
had not injured him, but had given pain
to a number of private individuals.

to escape the full penalty. The police

Of five years without returning the
stolen money, he will come out fnan-
cially as il her had been al work all

COLUMBUS, O., December 10.-Be-
fore the close of the Sells trial to-day
the defense summoned hve witnesses,
all residents of this city. This is the
only move made by the defense beyond
the reading of dispositions. These
witnesses are expected to controvert
part of the testimony of the plaintiff.
The day was put in on dispositions.
Judge Evans grew impatient
How many more volumes of depo-
sitions have your" inquired the court.
ut will take a week to read them
ALL" answered Colonel Holmes.
One deposition, that of Myrtle Lin
dermuth, was ruled out. Myrtle is
the daughter OF George Lindermuth,
the gambler, and a confessed morphine
user, whose lengthy deposition has
occupied the court for parts of three
days. Myrtle, who was in Dayton
last fall, was bamboozled into giving
a Dayton lawyer letters from her faith
er, in which her father made damag-
ing admissions that somewhat dis
counted his evidence against Peter
Sells The court said it was irrelevant
how the letters were obtained, since
the writer acknowledged their genu-
ineness. Consequently Myrtle's affida-
Wit was not read.
In another deposition, A. ]. Dan
iels, a negro cabby, partially identified
Peter Sells from photograph as the
man whom he had driven from the
Red House in Chattanooga to Matte
Schultz's resort in October, 1898. Mat
tie met the man at the door and put
her arms about his neck. He wanted
her to go to the Reed House with
him, but she persuaded him to stay.
The cabman was told to come back in
an hour and a half
