Washington, May 1.-THE discussion

ed in the senate yesterday. Thus Ear

the majority being to permit the crit

the body to proceed without interrupt

ators Spooner of Wisconsin, Lodge OF
Massachusetts, and Foraker OF ONO
became aroused. They spoke in de-
Tense of the administration the army
end Governor Taft and they spoke hot
" almost unrestrainedly. The result
was one of the most spirited debates
that has vet occurred on the Philip

a wide range it revOlved around the
resolution calling for Major Cornelius
Gardener in the Philippine islands, 10
appear as soon as possible before the
Philippine committee as a witness. A
cablegram from General Chatfee was
read by Lodge, saying it was imprac-
ticable for Gardener to leave she

Cial figure in a court of inquiry which
was investigating the conditions in the
province of which he was provincial
governor.
Both Senators Morgan and Pettus or

ATTORNEY BUELL. SECURES
HEARING IN WASHINGTON.
TO BE REVIEWED IN JUNE
interior Department Agrees to Con
slider Demand of Wisconsin Onei-
das to Recover for Land Taken by
Government for Settlement-Case
Has an interesting History.
Madison, May :

Madison, May ..
Asst Atty. Gen Buell. has returned
from Washington where he had been
in the interest of the claim of the
Oneida Indians on the Green Bay res
eryation against an action for $4,000,
! OO0 for lands given them by the gov
eminent. which were later opened for
! settlements without compensation
! being given the Indians.
Mr. Buell. succeeded in securing a
| hearing from the department. He be
lieyes that the chances of the Indians
| will go to Washington next month to
| appear in their behalf when the hear
! ing comes up.
The history Of the case is interest
| ing. Years ago the Oneida Indians OF
| Wisconsin and New York made a
| treaty to occupy 100000 acres of
! land in Kansas, and were to move
within five years on the president s
| making a proclamation for their re
mOval. and congress apprOpriating
$500, 600. The proclamation was never
made and congress did not make the
appropriation. In the meanwhile the
Wisconsin Indians had given up some
500 600 acres near Green Bay and had
purchased farms from the Menomi-
nees.
Some years later. the Indians filed
claim against the government in
the court of claims for 100000 as
the price Of the Kansas lands The
court of claims decided that as they
did not occupy the lands and had
never moved west of the Mississippi
river as contemplated, that they were
not entitled to possession. The case
was appealed to the supreme court Of
the United States. which decided that
the surrender of the 100000 acres Of
land near Green Bay was a fair ex-
change for the Kansas land and re
versed the decision of the court of
claims, thereupon giving Judgment
in favor of the Indians for the full
amount
The government again appealed, but
the supreme court this time affirmed
the decision of the court Of claims
This was some four years ago. The
Indians expected they would be paid
the money at once. The department
of the interior evidently overlooked
the fact OF the purchase of the land
from the Menominees by the Oneidas
and ruled that the Indians. having
taken farms in allotment could not re-
ceiye the money from the government
as congress had already appropriated
the amount Of the judgment All that
now remains in case the interior de
partment reconsiders its holding. is |
to pay the money over to the Indians. !

McGovern will leave New York for Gin

Terry is not begging Young Corbett for

any other good man, and, if successful in
his enga cement, practically force Corbett
through public opinion into another fight
for the championship title.
Harris says the operation recently per-
formed on Terry's nose was a piece of the
simplest kind of surgery. and that it did
not particularly Inconvenience the Brook

on which he drew a check returned the
answer he had no funds. Then Lewis
left the track, but it was known to a

clearing up quite a sum, left on the
Santa Fe Overland for Chicago. He
even took back diamonds he had given
to the woman who was living with
