GREAT BATTLE
ON LAND AND SEA
Seventeen of Bankers Wsrships
Destroyed.
MARINES TOOK LONG ISLAND
SEARCHLIGHTS OF THE ARMY
WERE CAPTURED.

Portland, Me, Aug. 27.-The events
and developments IN the war game to-
night were considered the most i'm
portant since the hostile feet first ap-
peared off Portland. The navy made
a grand coup in the capture Of Long
island in the forenoon, and the army
made a spectacular play in the de-
struction of all the seventeen oppos-
ing ships that attacked the coast de-
fenses in the afternoon. The navy,
however. seems 20 have had a little
the better of it, for, strange as it may
seem. the capture Of Long island was
considered more important than the
destruction of the seventeen vessels
Long island has been declared out of
the game until tomorrow night at 3
o'clock. The big searchlights will not
be working, which viii be of almost
iEestimable value 20 the navy. on the
other hand, after sunset the destroyed
warships went back into commission
again. The Hartford fought with the
fleet and, although a training ship, has
been used as a cruiser, evidently The
movements last night and early today
were not of great Importance. None
OF the big ships took part.
Several Of the gunbOats and small
cruisers tried TO get landing parties
on the various Notifications, but were
Tepulsed
No regular attack was expected to-
night. but it was thought landing par
ties would tempt. as last night, 70
capture some of the forts.

United States Does Not Contemplate
Drastic Action.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 27.-The president
manifested anxious interest in the an
nouncement of the assassination Of
Vice Consul Magellssen, the first infor-
nation concerning which was conveyed
to him by a representative of the As
ISOLATED Press. Shortly afterward he
received from Acting Secretary of
State Loomis a telegram communicate
ing to him Minister Leishman's cable
gram concerning the murder, and ad-
vising him of the steps already taken
by the state department. The presi-
dent tonight is tn close communication

dent as they are ascertained-
For several days President Roose-
welt has been following closely the de-
velOpments Of the situation in Turkey.
With the country in such a turmoil as
now prevails, almost anything is likely
to happen. With 4 view TO considering
the subject the more carefully the
president and secretary Of state had
arranged for a conference tomorrow
at Sycamore Hill. The. secretary is
now en- route TO Oyster Bay
At the conference tomorrow the presi-
dent and Secretary Hay viii consider
the Turkish situation carefully and
probably will reach some conclusion as
to the attitude of the United States
as respecting the late serious phase OF
the matter
In the absence Of definite informa-
ton concerning the assassination of
the vice consul, the president viii take
no decided step beyond that already
| taken in ordering the European squad

now as a precautionary measure. 1t is

SENATORIAL JUNKET
HAS REACHED SEATTLE

Seattle, Wash, Aug. Ex-senator Dill
bingham Of Vermont. Senator Burnham
Of New Hampshire, Senator Patterson
OF Colorado and Senator Nelson Of
Minnesota. comprising the senatorial
party which went north two months
ago 10 investigate AIaska's needs, ar
rived here on the cutter McCulloch this
morning.
From opinions gathered from all the
members of the party, il can be said
that they VIII not favor a territorial
form of government for Alaska at this
time. As matter of fact, they declare
that the people Of Alaska are not Of
one opinion on this question. Along
the coast the citizens favor territorial
government. but in the interior they
found the sentiment to be strongly
against it.
The senator's do think. however. that
Alaska should have a delegate in con-
gress. but whether the delegate should
be appointed by the president or elected
by the people they do not care to voice
an opinion.

HEIRS ARE DISSATISFIED.
Salt Lake Parties Ask Butte Court to
Set Aside Partition of Lode.

John J. Mediation, representing the
heirs of the late r. G. Chambers Of this
city. has instituted proceedings in the
district court at Butte, Silver Bow
county, Montana. to set aside all trans
actions i'm relation to the recent sale
and partition Of the Arctic lode claim.
The plaintiffs are @. r., G. and Sarah
Jane Chambers and Adeline 9. Martin
T'he defendants are James A. Murray,
NJ. J. Connen E L. Chapman, John
Mccormick and Henry Muntzer.
About two years ago suit for a sale
and partition of the Arctic lode was
brought i'm the district court in the
name OF John Mccormick and against
the other owners of the property r.
G. Chambers was then living and w2s
made one of the defendants, but before
the case had proceeded far he died. ani
4. j. Campbell Montana administrators
of the estate. was substituted. He filed
an answer for the estate and later en-
tered into a stipulation. through his at
torneys, Forbis 4 Evans, for a sale of
the property and division of the pro
ceeds. Under an order of the court
Frank r. Shaw was appointed referee
to make the sale, and the lode was sold
10 r.. l.. Chapman FOR $2l 000 Later
Chapman decided halt interest to NJ
J. Council.
The Chambers heirs now claim that
NIr. Campbell had no authority to act
for them i'm the matter, and that ne did
50 without giving them notice. They
allege that the property was worth
much more than 81 600, and that +. J..
Chapman did not act for himself. but
for Connell and Murray. They say
they never assented to the action OF the
administrator. whose authority was
limited to paying the debts of the es-
tate, and the estate had no debts IN
Hanw Il a
court exceeded its jurisdiction in tn
matter and had no right to substitute
the administrator as a defendant Fl
the suit. The heirs, therefore. ask tina
all proceedings under the Mccormick
partition suit be set aside and that they
he restored 10 an eighteen-sixty-fO fourth
interest I'm the Arctic lode claim.

POOR 10 BEING
BADLY CHEATED
Affairs in Indian Territory Under
the SsarchIight.
SOME NEW REGULATIONS
DAWES COMMISSION MOVING IN
THE MATTER.

washington Aug. 27.-Secretary
Hitchcock of the interior department
today announced his intention OF nav
iua a thorough and impartial investI-
cation made into alleged ilregularllles
in Indian Territory. This announce
rnent was made I'm response TO a request
from the Dawes commission, which re-
lates that results OF years of unre-
hitting toll is threatened by fanatical
REPORTS and questionable journalism.
we urge that there be assigned TO the
work OF investigation one whose repu-
tation for honesty, ability and fear
Iessness is well established and whose
findings win be universally accepted"
The following is the text of the reply
Of Secretary Hitchcock 70 the request
Of the Dawes commission:
Replying 10 your telegram request
ing that ar immediate and searching
investigation be instituted with refer
ence 10 the integrity of your work and
Your fidelity to duty, in connection with
your official positions as members Of
the Dawes commission, beg to inform
you that your request has been antici-
patsd and arrangements are in prog
ress which viii be consummated with
the least possible delay"
Ferreting Out Frauds.
The determination of Secretary
Hitchcock to send to Indian Territory
a man not connected with the depart
ment Of the interior to investigate con-
ditions there is understood to be for
the purpose OF sUpplementing the work
Of the secretary himself and Of other
representatives Of the department in
that territory. Since early last spring
the secretary has been giving personal
attention to the situation in the terri
tory. and number Of inspectors and
other officials OF the department have
been engaged in the effort to ferret out
frauds and protect the interests OF the
Indians. Following is an abstract OF
an unauthorized statement Of the de-
partment's attitude toward the stu
atton IN Indian Territory, as well as an
outline Of what IS doing there for the
protection Of the Indians:
Sales Cancelled.
The secretary made q tour Of the
territory In May, largely for the pur-
pose Of making inquiry regarding re-
ports that had come to him of efforts
to deprive the Indians Of their rich
landed inheritance, and the result OF
this personal investigation was to con.
firm the report that there was a per.
sistent effort to secure the Indian land.
at prices far below their real value.
As a consequence Of this inquiry h,
made a radical revision of the regula.
tons for the sale OF the allotted lands
and the developments since that chang
was made indicate that he has saveC
the Indians a large percentage owe
what would have been paid them If tn,
original regulations had stood Tn,
new rules require that all Indian land
which. are for sale he advertised anC
appraised by a competent official TIL
secretary has cancelled all sales mad
prior to the time that the new reguIa
tons took effect. There are 400 Of thes
deeds, calling for an aggregate paymen
OF 50, 691, 600.
