Special to The Record.
Washington, d. c., Aug. 31.-The
scandal affecting the administration
of Indian affairs, and involving both
the department of the Interior and
that of Justice, is growing daily and
already the revelations have caused
the gravest to the admins
tration which appreciates that the
discovery of corruption in two inn
portant departments of government
following so closely on the heels OF
the postofice scandals cannot but
have a serious effect on the fortunes
of the republican party at the polls.
With a view to offsetting the damag-
ing effect of recent revelations, Sec
rotary Hitchcock has announced he
will Immediately appoint a commits
sioner to Investigate all of his emf
ployes involved in the irregularities
and also the members of the Dawes
Commission, and the acting Atror.
ney General has stated that a speA
cial commissioner will be promptly
sent to the Indian Territory to in
vestigate the alleged connection of
several officials of the department of
Justice with oncer organized for
the purpose of making profits at the
expense of the Indians.
An example of the condition of af-
fairs now existing in the Indian Ter
is shown by the situation at
Muskogee, where the Dawes Conn
mission has an office. The Canadian
Valley Trust Company, of which
Tams Bixby, the chairman Of the
Dawes Commission, is president, and
P. G. Reuter-, clerk in charge of the
land Office of the Commission, Is q
director, has it's Offices in the same
building as the Dawes Commission
and occupies the same apartments,
on the ground floor as were former
ly occupied by the Commission, the
having removed to the
second floor. AS a result of this
happy arrangement, the ~untutored
savage walks innocently into the
office of the Trust Company, to the
representatives of which he explains
his business. 1t is alleged that
these representatives are not al
ways scrupulous to explain that
they are not, at that particular mo-,
ment, representing the Dawes Com
but are members of a prfl
vate institution, and the Indian, who
has valuable lands to lease or sell,
his business according to
their dictation, makes his mark In
the presence Of witnesses and goes
his way, all innocent Of the fact that
he has not been dealing with the
Commission, the authorized
representative of the government,
and equally innocent of the fact that
IN the lease he has just executed is
D contract for the sale OF the lands
at the expiration Of the lease at q
nominal figure. the contract to take
effect as o as the law win permit

THE STUMBLING BLOCKS.
Why Colombia Would Not Ratify the
Canal Treaty,

lanai treaty.
Washington, Sept. 2.-Three sturn-
bling blocks are in the way of ratiticu-
ton OF the Panama cana, treaty by the
Colombian congress, acco riding 10 an
official dispatch to Minister Herra3l,
which he has submitted to the stale
department. These are, as stated lay
Senior Rico, Colonfbia's secretary OF
state.
Ffrst-The granting OF the proposed
rights over the canal zone is a convey
ance of sovereignty. ana Is prohibited
by the Colombian constitution.
Second--The concession of the Pam
anna Canal Company provides that it
must obtain the consent Of Colombia
before it can transfer it's rights TO any
foreign power, and this consent has Eot
been given.
Third-The attitude OF the American
minister, Mr. Beaupre. IN insisting that
the treaty shall be ratified without any
amendment whatever, ard whose Of
ficious interference in the deliberations
at Bogota, have become intolerable and
have antagonized some OF the b.st
friends of the treaty.
Mr. Beaupre informed the Colombian
government that any amendment to the
treaty would be met with disapproval
in this country. This was the cause. of
a decided change in the sanding of The
treaty when it was discovered and re-
ferred to committee.
The Colombian senate regarded the
insstence Of the United States minis
ter upon the ratification of the treaty
as an attempt to dictate, and even
friends of the treaty bec,tme indignant
and voted against it. The question of
the payment of more money, accord
irg to Colombian advices has become a
minor point.

This message, found in tie mail box
4 few hundred yards from the 1eateT

nous, a rural carrier, was the first In"
formation of q double murder.
The writing in the note is declared By
friends to be that of William T..

The young man is missing.
Gugemous first showed he note to
several persons in the Yeater neighbor :
hood, all of whom thought it jest.
Marshall Morsey, friend of the
Yeaters, thought the matter serious
enough to demand an investigation. He
Immediately sent a messenger to the

ting posture. his form bent forward and
his throat cut. AT the foot of the bed,
on the floor was Mrs. Yaater, face
downward, with her throat cut in four
places. Mr.. and Mrs. Yeater were clad
in their night clothes, Indicating that
the crime had been committed at nigh.
The manner in which Mrs. Yeaters
throat was cut and the state of her
clothes indicated that she struggle 4
with the murderer. She probably was
attacked first, as Yeater had been
helpless with rheumatism for twelve
months and must have fallen an easy
victim to the murderer
The only other member OF the house,
hold is Church, the adopted son. aged ~
who has not been seen by any of the
neighbors since Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Yeater adopted the boy
when he was 8 years old and reared
him as If he was their own. Three years
ago he was charged with stealing gold
watch from Mrs. Yeater's sister, Mrs.
j. f. Young, living in Walrenton. He
was tried and convicted, ard, being a
minor, was sent to the reform school at
where he stale two years.
Mrs. Yeater, who loved the boy as
she would her own child, insisted that
he was innocent and petitioned the go,--
ernor to pardon him, which was gram
ed, and she took him back home. The
Yeaters trusted Church in every mat
ter.
When Church left the house he APP
parently took all his wearing apparel.
In an adjoining room on tie floor were
four empty shells from revolver. 1t is
known that Yeater owned such q re-
volver, and this also is missing. II is
known that Yeater recently cashed a
pension check. and several days ago
he sold some hay, for which he received
cash. His pocketbook containing tie
money and such other cash as he had
on hand are missing, probably taken by
the murderer.

WANTS FULL INQUIRY.
Representative Wachter, of Maryland,
Would Have All Departments In

vestisateu.
Washington, Sept. 2.-Representative
Wachter of Maryland. republican, de-
sires a wholesale investigation of gov
eminent departments. and has an
nounced his intention OF introducing
a resolution. when congress convenes,
providing for the investigation OF all
departments.
Mr.. Wachter is OF the opinion that
such an investigation Is necessary, and
that 1t will do the party no harm.
Leaders of the party take issue with the
Marylander as to the necessity for an
inquiry of such wide scope, and 1t
is quite probable that his resolution
will not be adopted.
All the leaders from the president
down, are in favor of exposing all
frauds and Furnishing those who are
guilty, but they do not relish the idea
of attempting to discredit every branch
of the government service when there IS
no ground for suspicion. because some
postal and Indian officials have been
guilty OF malfeasance in office. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's attitude towards the
guilty officials is convincing evidence
that he will not spare any of them.
Mr.. Wachter expresses IL as ms oplH-
ion that the service Is permeated with
grating and filled with persons who do
not attend to their duties, and that
congress should take some action.
Ever since the scandals in the post.
office were given such wide publicity
there has been more or less talk nf
an investigation by congress. Repre-
sentative Waehter expects to meet with
some fierce opposition to his proposed
resolution, but he is determined not
to abandon his plan without strug-

bad back removed, to be entirely free

sufferer grateful. To tell how this

a timer, which brings a constant strain
on his back. His attention was called
to Doans Kidney Pills by an advertise
ment in our paper and getting box at

found great help from their use. On
two or three occasions after a day of
more than usual exertion l have myself

This delightful spot IS more easily
reached via the Union Pacific than by
any other line. The stage ride from

COAL IN ALASKA.
Discovery of Valuable Deposits in the
Frozen Country.

Frozen SouHtiy
Seattle Wash, Sept. Information
has been received here. on the authori-
ty of the Nome Nugget, of the discov-
cry of extensive deposits OF high grade
coal in northwestern Alaska about 800
mites from Nome. across kotzebue
sound.
Six men were left at Cape Lisburne
in the fan of 1902, With plenty of pro-
visions ana the promise that they would
be called for by the first boat in the
spring They were employees of the Lis
hurne- Alaska Coal company, engaged
in prospecting for coal. They kept zip
their work during the winter months
and were rewarded by he discovery OF
4 vein seven feet thick and 335 feet in
length The extent of the deposit is not
yet known. but it Is believed to be very
large
For some reason the officers of the
Lisburne company did not return for
their prospectors in the spring. and.
provisions becoming short, the men un-
dertook 10 flag the Thetis on her way
to Point Barrow whittier she went in
August with Senator Dietrich OF Ne
braska They did not succeed on her
northward passage. however but on her
return they signaled her off Point
Hope, We're taken aboard and brought
to Nome.
The discovery is regarded as a very
important one, inasmuch as the fuel
question in northwestern Alaska is a
hard one to solve. This is the first dis
eovery of coal in northwestern Alaska
which promises to produce ANYTHING
worth While in quantity or quality,
Cheap coal would mean much to the de-
velopment of that part of Alaska, where
machinery must be employed extensive
ly in profitable mining.
