Concert.

has already been stated. is preparing for a
Sunday night concert. which will be given

program will be presented. The date has
been fixed at April H. Easter Sunday night,
and on that occasion the general public
should turn out and greet this fine body of

lowered the high standard of work which
has been so far maintained but has selected
compositions by the best modern masters,
and which are we'll known. The numbers
for the orchestra are Nicholai's Merry
Wives of Windsor" overture; Grieg's Peer
Gynt" suite: his own March Espagnola;"

kowskys ballet music, and the prelude to
Act III Of Wagner's "Lohengrin."
The soloists will be Aptommas. the cele-
brated harpist. and Mr. Clifford A. Wiley,
baritone. Mr.. Aptommas is perhaps the
most renowned player upon the harp in the
world. He plays the most classical and
difficult compositions with splendid effect,
as well as the daintiest and most pathetic
ballads. His technique is something mar
velous.
Mr.: Wiley is well-known singer. the
possessor OF fine baritone voice of excel
lent quality and good range. His selections
will be the prelude to II Pagliaccf' and the
toreador song from Carmen"
The last regular concert of the orchestra

arranged: Dvorak's ''Carnevar' overture,
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and Liszt's

BIG PAYMENTS TO. INDIANS.
Commissioner Jones viii Hand 81,
90S.744 Over to the Six Nations.

Commissioner Jones Of the Indian bureau
will make an effort at an early date to pay
the sum of 81 ,99S,744 to the Indians OF the
Six Nations of New York awarded them
by Congress about three years ago and
about which there has been some delay in
settlement. The money is due the Indians
as a result of the decision in the famous
Kansas land case. There are about 6OoO
Indians to receive this money, and they be.
long to the Onondaga, Oneida, CayuSa,
Seneca, st. Regis. Tuscarora, Stockbridge,
Musee and Brothertown tribes. The pay
ments will amount to about $500 per capita
and will be made by check to prevent
fraud.
One Of the chiefs Of the Six Nations has
been in Washington continuously for
twenty-three years endeavoring to secure
the allowance of the claim against the gov
eminent, and he now believes his work Is
accomplished and will leave the city. This
chief, known as Andrew John. has In his
possession some documents Of priceless his
torical value on which the claims of his
people are based. One Of these papers was
issued during Washington's administra-
ton and was signed by Gen. Knox. at that
time Secretary of War. The paper is ad-
dressed to the sachems. chiefs and war
riors Of the Six Nations. and they are re-
quested to hold convention and sign a
treaty with the United States relative to
the land they occupied. AS a result of this
convention treaty was signed which
brought about peace with the Indians. An
other of the documents in Andrew Johns
possession Is statement OF Joseph w.
Henry, as Secretary of War in 1908. to the
effect that the sum Of $100. 900 had been re-
ceived on deposit in the United States
treasury for the Six Nations. The money
referred to is that paid by Robert Morris
for 5000, coo acres of the richest land In
New York state. This was bought from
the Indians at the rate of about cents an
acre.
In 1888 the Indians decided to move west
and bought 10000 acres Of land in Wis
cided to remain and traded the Wisconsin
land for 1.82400O acres of land in Kansas.
In 1850, when that portion Of Kansas was
open to settlement, settlers were permitted
to take up the Indians land. In 1873 Con-
gress passed a law authorizing the sale of
the rest of the land to white settlers de-
spite the fact that the land belonged to
the Indians. It was then that the claim
of the Indians against the government was
formulated, and In 1880 Andrew John came
to Washington at the head of large dele
CATION from the Six Nations to have the
wrong righted. He remained in this oity
and has worked indefatigably for his peo-
pie ever since. The passage of the bill
through Congress three years ago authoriz-
ed the payment of the claims.
The Six Nations are among the wealth
lest of the Indians in the United States
They still control 5000 acres of the rich
sum of 500 .000 mentioned as having been
paid by Robert Morris, Is still In the treas
ury to the credit OF the Indians and this
has been added to from time to time by
up to about $4,000. on which the Indians
draw interest.
