INDIAN LANDS.
win Be Difficult 10 Secure Passage Of Bills
Opening Them 10 Settlement

Washington, May Tit is going to
be difficult to secure the passage of the
bills now pending before congress pro
viding for opening to settlement por-
tions of the several Indian reservations
of the West, unless the friends of these
measures will consent to the insertion
in the bills of a provision requiring
that settlers taking up the eeded lands
are to repay the government the price
per acre paid to the Indians. There
are 10 or II bills of this character in
volving large amounts of land and call
ing for considerable appropriation in
the aggregate. Among them is the bill
tor opening the Klamath reservation,
in Oregon, and others in the several
Western States.
When bill was under consideration
in the senate the other day to open the
uneeded portion of the Rosebud reser-
vation, in South Dakota, Senator Platt,
of Connecticut, expressed very de-
cided opposition to the bill unless it
was amended to require the settlers to
pay the purchase price of the land.
Other senator's contended that after the
passage of the free homes bill few
years ago it would be unfair to insert
such provision in this or any other
similar bill, but the Connecticut SEN
ator remained firm. He said the gov
ernment would not think of going into
an Eastern state and purchasing land
from farmers, with the view OF turning
around and throwing it open to home
stead settlement. Nor would the gov
ernment undertake to buy land from
settlers whose holdings adioin Indian
reservations, and turn about and offer
that land to settlers free of cost. He
said there was no more reason for buy
ing Indian lands at 81 so to $3.50 and
even S. an acre, and allowing it to be
taken up by homesteaders without cost.
Such policy, he contended, would in
volve the government in great expendi-
lures, probably $50, 900, 900 or more in
the end, and he did not believe such an
outlay was warranted or justified.
A number of other Eastern senators
agree with Mr.. Platt in his contentious
and may abolish the practice of the
government buying the Indians lands
and throwing them open free Of cost to
settlers.

General Smiths Trial Ended.

Manila, May 6.-The trial by court
martial of General Jacob H. Smith has
ended. The findings of the court will
be forwarded to Washington. The
general impression here is that he will
be acquitted. The closing address of
Colonel Charles A. Woodruff, for the
defense, was a remarkable oratorical
effort that drew tears from his hearers.
He dramatically sketched General
Smiths career, and declared he had
conducted a remarkable and successful
campaign in manner which reflected
credit on his valor, humanity and
kindness.

yachting history of the country. The
splendid book which he has published

in yachting circles quite as successful

saved it from a trip abroad. Hereto

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton Eirm-Grain Markets Active
and Higher

A AFm-UraIn Markets Active
and Higher.
Cotton closed with a firm undertone
at an advance for the week of about
20 points, except for August. which
Is only points higher. September
closed Size: October, sole.
The strength in the market was due
to the constantly increasing number
OF complaints of crop damage, so that
accounts in general may be said to
nave taken distinct change for the
worse during the past week or two
Inc worst reports come from Alabama
and portions of Georgia and Missis-
slppl. Private reports from that re-
glon quite fail to bear out the fairly
favorable diagnosis of the Chronicle
from Texas also comes great deal of
talk of deterioration caused by ex-
treme heat and insects. There GER
tainly appears no ground for doubt
ing that the next bureau report will
announce material decline in condi-
ton, probably as much as 5 or 10
points.
Grain markets ruled active and for
the most part firm, led by excitement
IN corn. September corn, as was pre-
dlcted here, has again fallen into the
hands of the manipulators, and the re-
suit was sharp rise to $3.50 The
close was $3.50, an advance of TIC for
the week. December closed 2Hc higher,
at 43Ac.
Wheat, while also active, was not so
excited, but showed a generally firm
undertone all the week. Here also,
september was the strongest position,
closing INC higher, at 71%c; Deem
Der nc higher at 67%c. Wheat
news was bullish enough to justify a
more pronounced advance: unfavor-
able harvesting weather, poor grading,
light receipts, good demand and de-
creasing stocks. The visible supply is
only 20,OO0,00O bushels, against q, 600, 900
last year, which was itself unusually
small. 1t was $50, 600, 900 in 1900. and 36.
600 600 in 1899. In view of all these
facts it must appear to an impartial
observer that wheat is at too low a
range of prices to remain there long.

Manchester Market

Manchester, Aug. 24.-The cloth mar
ket last week was dull and business
was meagre. This condition was at
tributable to a certain extent to the
approximate exhaustion of orders at
current prices and the absence of new
orders on the same basis points to in
creased distrust of the maintenance of
the present range. Considerable bus
mess is waiting for easier terms than
sellers are in a position to accept The
late weakness of cotton has strength
ened the position of buyers. There
were few transactions last week in
bleaching cotton cloths and various
classes of greys to India There was
occasional trade with China at low
rates and rather more was done with

BANKER CLEWs' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.

Wall Street.
New York, Aug. pa very confident
undertone prevails in the Wall street
markets. This is induced by the in
creasing certainty of good haryests. as
we'll as by the expected elimination of
a number of important deals which
leading financiers are understood to
have under consideration Perhaps
Wall street is discounting the effects of
these influences a little too soon. There
is still a possibility of damage to an
important section of the corn belt by
frost, to say nothing of the proba biity
that the extremely sangune expecta-
lions of August list regarding the corn,
wheat and cotton crops will have to be
somewhat modified Though we seem
practically certain of a good harvest,
and the West is promised season of
unusual prosperity in consequence, en-
thusiasm must be kept within reason
able limits, or we may incur unpleas-
ant surprises.
Not much aid can be expected from
the treasury, which since the reduc-
ton of internal taxation Is Fortunate
ly not absorbing money at the rate
of last year. Customs receipts are in
creasing sufficiently to offset internal
revenue losses, so that at present the
treasury is not a disturbing element
in the money market. It's only means
of aiding an emergency is by increas-
ing deposits with the banks and reviv-
ing the refunding operations suspended
by Secretary Gage. Both of these re-
sources, however, have been so fully
utilized in the past that they could
afford very limited aid in the future.
The general business situation con-
finnaS satisfactory From fhP West
glowing accounts are received of trade
prospects, as result of the big corn
crop. In the East expectations are
more moderate, and strikes have exer-
cised a deterrent effect The South
is promised a slightly better trade than
last year, where the shortage in cot
ton and corn did harm.

Cotton will be coming in in large guam

observance of certain precautionary

of this rule subjects the person re-
sponsible for it to a heavy fine. The
