he Wants to Know.

From the Newport. Ind, Hoosier State.)
Senator Gallinger, of the United States
Senate, wants to know the cause of so
much special pension Legislation, and Of
fered a resolution on Friday last for the
appointment of a joint committee to de-
termine this fact. Almost any old soldier
of the civil war can impart to him the de-
sired information. 1t is all on account Of
having a Commissioner OF Pensions who
misconstrues the laws and will not grant a
deserving soldier pension if he can avoid
it by some technicality. Almost every
Grand Army Post in the United States
has passed resolutions requesting his re-
moval from office on account of his mani
fest hatred for the old soldiers. Two Ma
tionaI Encampments have asked for his re-
moval, and why he is still retained against
the protests of the men who deserve better
treatment than has been accorded them by
the present incumbent is question no
soldier can answer. Thousands of them
are broken down in health, without means
OF support, and hence the reason why they
appeal to Congress for the justice that
should have been meted out to them long

knowing even where their allotments are,
The records of the Land Office, however,
show all of the allotments, and no person
can make homestead entry of Them
Some of the Indians located on this res.
ervation have large punches of cattle, and
a very few of them farm.
After the settlement of the residue OF
the lands by the white man the agent
usually leases the Indian allotments to
white men for agricultural purposes, sub
ject to the approval Of the Secretary of the
Interior, the Indian receiving whatever
rent is paid. These lands are usually
leased for agricultural purposes for from
three to five years, the white man in the
most cases being compelled to make GER
tain improvements on the land, for which
he is, however, credited on the amount TO
be paid.
Indian allotments of 160 acres each
throughout Oklahoma are leased at various
prices, some as low as $50 year, some of
them bringing as high as 81 an acre.
These Indians are peaceable and are uIl-
questionably blessed with more sobriety
than any other tribes in the Indian Terri
tory. They do not bother their white
neighbor, the trouble being that the white
neighbor ordinarily bothers them.
None of the lands allotted to the In
dians can be sold for % years, neither are
they taxable for that length of time, hence
the burden of taxation in Counties where
there are many Indian allotments is some
times very heavy on the white man.
This is the last public land of the
United States to be opened up to home
stead settlement in the West or South
west. The Indian Territory will never be
opened to homestead settlement, as the
lands will all be allotted per capita among
the Indians who reside there. They, un-
like other Indian tribes, holding their lands
by fee-simple title.
1t costs S14 filing fees to make home
stead entry for 160 acres anywhere in the
United States. There is no distinction as
to persons.

Conditions Are impossible.

Shanghai, Jan. l0.-A dispatch from
Sian Flu (where The Chinese court is
located) to a native newspaper says
Some of the clauses of the condi-
tons for peace are impossible of ac-
ceptance, consequently the Emperor
and Empress and the much troubled
court have telegraphed to Liu Kun vi,
the viceroy of Nankin, and Chank III
Tung, the viceroy Of Mankow, to pro-
coed Immediately to Picking and con-
fer with the foreign ministers and Chi
nese commissioners in an attempt to
the modification of the obstructive con-
ditions. They have been instructed,
If they are unable to proceed to Picking,
to propose a suitable meeting place for
the ministers elsewhere.
