washington, May 5.-The rejection Of
the new treaty for tho cession of the
lands by the Red Lake Indians did not
cause any surprise at the interior de-
partment or the Indian office Advices
received there some time ago were to the
effect that the Indians would not accept
the agreement because Of the provision
to give the state the schol sections Of the
eleven townships to be coded
The interior department will do nothing
more toward securing ratification of the
agreement, but will report the rejection
to congress unless before the meeting
of that body an intimation comes that the
Indians are willing to recede from their
present position, in which event Major
Mclaughlin will be sent back to the res
ervation to hold another council. It is be-
lieved here that Senator Clapp will hold
Major Scott, the Indian agent. RESPONSE
BILE for the failure Of the negotiations and
that he will press his charges against that
officer and try to secure his return to
his regiment.
All papers in this case are now at the
interior department awaiting the presi-
dents return. Many persons, among
| them, Major Scott himself believe Sena-
| tor Clapp will win the fight.

In 1666-67 the Duke Of York, thru Col
onial Governor Nicholas, gave grants and
charters to twenty three men who Gre
ated a corporation known as the Town
Of New Harlem and later further grants
and patents were issued to the twenty
three and to their heirs, successors and
assigns forever
The plan of the lawyer in charge of
the matter is to gather a majority Of the
descendants and, as he says, they are all
by Inheritance members OF the corpora
ton, have them hold a meeting, elect Of
hcers and parcel out the land among
themselves.
It is argued that quit claims. leases or
deeds executed by any descendants of the
grantees are void because no individual
had right to dispose Of the property. but
only a right to vote at the corporation
meeting.
President Roosevelt, who traces his an
fcestry to the Brevoorts of colonial times
will, it Is announced, appear at the meet
