RETURN Of GENERAL WHEELER

Washington. Jan. lit is said at the
war department that there is no special
significance in the fact that General
Wheeler has been relieved from further
military duty in the Philippines and or
dered home. Although he made no com
plant, it is understood that active duty
in the field has undermined General
Wheelers health and that it was dan
gerous for him to remain in the tropical
climate of the Philippines much longer.
While it is not officially admitted that
General Wheeler has resigned his COM
MISSION, 1t is stated positively that if he
mas taken such a step the president will
suspend action until he has had an or
portunlty TO confer with him on the sub
Ject with view to dissuading him from
such a course. He is nearly g. years OF
age, the statutory limit of active service
IN the army, and but for that fact would
nave been appointed a brigadier general
in the regular army
The president is said to favor legislation
winch VIII authorize the appointment of
General Wheeler, General Lee and per
hapS one or TWO other brigadier generals
on the retired list, in Acknowledgement of
their faithful services to the country dur
ing and since the Spanish war.
1t is said that is one of the reasons why
General Wheeler is summoned home at
this time. His orders. which were issued
several days ago, require him to come to
Washington by way of San Francisco. for
with the secretary of war.

FRAUD CLAIMED BY INDIANS

Butte. Mont. Jan. 1.-THE chiefs and
mead men of the Blackfeet Indian nation
held council on the reservation a few
days ago, a report of which has lust
been brought in, to consider old griev-
anceS against the government growing
out OF the alleged frauds and misreDre-
Sentauon IN various treaties and the vio-
lauon on the part of the government of
the treaty of 1875. by which over 20. 900 900
acres OF land were taken from the Indians
IN l6l4 without compensation. The Indi-
ans nave retained Chancellor Charles

claim.

winch they, the Indians. were given a
n1nety-year grant to all the territory now
in Montana and lying north and west of
the Yellowstone river. Nineteen years
later, without consent of the Indians
congress took from the Indians about
100000 acres and confined them to their
present narrow reservation.
1t is also alleged that in subsequent
treaties their territory was encroached
upon and their rights made more limited. |
The government commission, with the aid
OF corrupt interpreters. made nisreDre-
sensations TO them and defrauded them. |

until after the latter's appointment,
which, he says, occurred on Nov. 10,
1897
There is in Logan at least one letter
which L saw today, and which is dated
at the executive mansion on Nov 4,
1897, and is an acknowledgment by the
presidents secretary of the receipt of
protest against Smith, which protest
the letter states had been filed with the
postoffice DEPARTMENT.
Then the sworn protest circulated by
E. w. Nelson of this city and signed by
many citizens, was received by the de-
partment before Smiths confirmation,
and this led to a fight over the con-
firmation, which, upon the authority
OF a western senator. was settled by
Frank Cannon's assertion that Orson
Smith was not an active polygamist.
,.Of course we could not refuse to take
the word of a colleague is the explain
alton that this senator gives of the
matter. The proof of all this, and much
more, is here in Logan and could
doubtless be secured if properly looked

at this point had become critical Our
men had retired for cover behind the
northern slope, while the enemy had
made their way into the pass dividing
them from the hill.

also fell. The renewed check effectual-
~ discouraged the assailants, and the
deadly duel was now practically at an
end. Nevertheless, small parties of
the Drawer spirits kept up a murderous
fire on our men from behind the rocks.
THE moment had evidently arrived
to strike the final blow, and Colonel
