VICTOR, Col, Jan. 16-A desperate

THREATEN TO STORM A BANK AT
DOWAGIAC
Were Promised Money for Claims
to Chicago Lake Front, but
Probate Judge Won't Let
Them Have 1t.

. DOWAGIAC, Mich, Jan. 16-Three
hundred Pottowatomie Indians are on
q rampage tonight, and are besieging
Lee Brothers bank, which they threat
en- to break open if they are not paid
the money they expected to receive to-
day for signing over their claims to lake
front land in Chicago.
Many of the Indians are armed The
town marshal has sworn in a number
of deputies. All other citizens are keep
ing indoors, fearing to leave their houses
The Indians came to town today to
get ,000 which was to be paid them
by an agent Of the Chicago syndicate
to which they have signed over their
power of attorney to act in the lake
front land case. The Indians were to
have received 500 each. Just as the
agent was about to issue the money
an order was received from the pro-
bate judge Of the county instrucU1ng
him to make payment only to the
guardians of the Indians. The judge
feared the Indians would spend the
money in saloons, and after becoming
intoxicated cause trouble
Everyone is hoping that the Indians
will grow quieter as the night wears
on. If any attempt should be made to
wreck the bank a serious conflict is
sure to follow.

DRASTIC BILL AGREED ON
PACIFIC COAST MEN PERFECT AN
EXCLUSION ACT
EmbO1ies All Essential Features of
the Kahn Bill and the Fed
Grafton of Labor Rec
lamentations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-At a largely
attended meeting today Of Pacific coast
senators and representatives affected, a
determination was reached as to the
course to be pursued on Chinese excIu-
sion legislation.
AS finally agreed upon the insular sec
ton of the bill reads as follows:
That from and after the passage OF
this act the entry into the American
mainland territory of the United States
of Chinese laborers coming from any OF
the insular possessions of the United
States shall be absolutely prohibited, and
the prohibition shall apply to all Chinese
laborers, as well as such as were in such
insular possessions at the time or times
of acquisition thereof respectively by the
United States, or to those who have come
there since and those who have been
born there since, and those who may
come hereafter and those. who may here
after be born there"
Tie bill, as a whole, has been framed
with a view to making it drastic in every
particular in excluding the Chinese. 1t
combines the main features of the meas
ure drafted by the bureau of immigra-
tion. known as the Kahn bill, and that
brought forward by the Federation OF
Labor.

ULTIMATE FREE TRADE
IS THE HOPE OF CUBAN LEADERS
NOW HERE
Louis Place States the Terms on
Which He Thinks the United
States Can Control the Mar
kets of the Island.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-At the hear
ing before the house committee on ways
and means today on the subject of reci-
procity with Cuba Louis Place, head of
the Cuban delegation, was heard as to
the tariff reductions Cuba was likely to
make in order to give the United States
control of the market. He said the Gu
ban tariff was very low now and should
be raised so to 70 per cent, and after that
differential granted to the United
States sufficient to control the trade as
against other countries. He favored ul-
innate free trade both ways, which he
said was the only solution of Cuba's
problem.
AS the hearing closed Representative
Richardson, of Tennessee, the ranking
Democrat on the committee, said:
Il notice that q very prominent Unite!
States senator is quoted in tOday's pa
pers as saying that the senate will set
tie this whole question, will make tar
iff and that We have nothing whatever
to do with it,
"He will lind cut before we get through
with it, answered 4ur. DalzelI (Pa.)
Chairman PaYne stated that the tobac-
CO men would be heard On the 21st, the
beet sugar interests on the 22d, and that
Gen. Wood was expected up from Cuba.
The committee then adjourned, subject
tC the call of the chairman.

CLAPP's SEAT PRIZE IN VIEW
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, d. C.

Washington, ID. G.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Reports
which reach here of the movement in
MINI asota to do up Gov. Van SAINT have
started the congressional delegation to
talking. That Heatwile has been busily
organizing against the governor is a
matter of common knowledge. The only
assumed that the movement began at a
date subsequent to the governors out
burst against the railroads.
AS a matter of fact and of common
knowledge in the delegation, Heatwole
began his anti-Van movement last sum-
mer and had it well under way long
before the Northern Securities company
was incorporated. The remarkable
course pursued by Van SAINT in stirring
up hostility to certain railroads has
doubtless drawn many into the Heat
wole movement who might otherwise
have remained friendly to the governor.
1t is gossip here that the incentive
moving Heatwole is a desire to gain con-
troll of the Republican organization. He
intended to dictate the nomination Of
a candidate for governor in place Of
Van SAINT, and in return have the in
fUence of his man when he (Heatwole)
runs for the senate CIapp's seat was
in Heatwole's eye when he first went
on the warpath, and that is still his
guiding star.
The fact that there are two movements
in the state against Van SAINT is news
to many here, but does not cause any
surprise. That the conservative element
in the state should break away from
his support was expected, and Heat
Woles friends are looking for a coalition
between the two and the end, of the
QuiXotic governor.

TO Be A CAUSE CELEBRE
BIG DEMAND FOR TESTIMONY IN
SCHLEY CASE
Bills and Resolutions in Congress
Relating to the Court of Inquiry
Decision Will Receive
Consideration.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Secretary
Long has written to the naval commit
tee of the house stating that he has re-
ceived many requests from libraries and
other quarters for copies of the testi-
mony in the Schley case. Mr.. Long says
this demand cannot be met unless con-
gress decides to print the testimony, and
he suggested an edition Of 800 copies for
the navy department, and further edI-
ton for senators and representatives
The letter has been referred to Represen-
tative Heatwole, of Minnesota, chairman
of the printing committee.
Representative Watson, of Indiana,
chairman of the committee having charge
of the Schley bills and resolutions said
today there was no purpose on his part
to avoid consideration of these measures.
He had expressed the personal view, he
said, that it was inadvisable for con-
gress to go into the question; but since
these measures were referred to his COM
mittee they would be acted upon on their
merits,
