already made by Prof. Dawson. OF Chi
cago. who. too, was attacked by Seger,
that the Indian who inflicted the much
talked-of wounds upon himself did so
without any previous knowledge of the
scientists; that Seger was present during
these 'barbarous" rites and made no
motion to put a stop to them, nor even
criticise them.
II really was the morning after the
sun dance that the interpreter ran into
Mr.. Moneys tent and told him and MI.
Dawson of the approach OF the Indian

his back. supporting q buffalo head. The
scientists Immediately went out and saw
the Indian approaching. They took pic

Presentation Of Facts as Re-
lated by Accused Scientist
Sent to Prof. Langley-To
Go to Secretary Hitchcock.
A BREACH OF ETIQUETTE
The Indian Bureau Published
Agent Seger's Story Even
Before Charges Had Been
Offered Against Mooney.

The Bureau of American Ethnology of
side of the Mooney case, which has been
given so much publicity by the Indian
Office. for the first time today, IN an
official statement, accompanied by afi-
davits, which was sent to Prof. Lang
ley. secretary of the Smithsonian.
This statement not only contains the
facts of the case, as furnished by Mr..
Mooney. but comments upon the cir
cumstance that much publicity was
given 10 Indian Agent Seger's story
saying that MIR. Mooney, of the Bureau
of Ethnology. had melted the Cheyenne
Indians to barbarOus rites in a recent
sun Dance" before an investigation of
the affair had been undertaken and be-
fore even any official charges had been
made against Mr.. Mooney Such action
is regarded as contrary TO the policy of
the Government departments. and is
looked upon as a breach or etiquette
An Unusual Proceeding.
Not only was the story unoficially
given out in Washington. but General
Pratt. who has charge of the Indian
school at Carlisle, which is connected
with the Indian ONCE. published Seger's
story about Mr. Mooney and added an
editorial in the school paper, which
criticised severely the Bureau of Eth
nology.
This is not by any means the first in
stance OF unofficial charges by mem
bers of the Indian Office against the Blu
reau OF Ethnology. The statement pre-
pared by the bureau will go through
Prof. Langley TO Secretary Hitchcock.
of the Interior Department, and the
question Will be raised whether or not
such UNOFFICIAL charges win be permitted
hereafter
IL has been said that the Bureau of
Ethnology could not answer charges
against any of it's members unless it's at
tention were officially called TO them.
For some time after Seger's story was
made public the Indian Office did not
present any official charges TO the bu-
reau. and IL was only about ten days ago
that the Indian agents, Seger and White.
were requested by the Indian Office TO
make official reports on the matter, with
q view ~ presenting OiilCidl cndTSeS
against Mr.. Mooney should these re-
ports make such charges necessary.
Friction Not Infrequent.
There has been friction between the
Indian agents and the scientists of the
Bureau of Ethnology before now, the
Indian agents accusing the ethnoIogists
of a desire to maintain the American
Indian in all his paint and feathers. II
is said at the Indian Office that the re-
ports from its agents. Seger and White,
will probably be received here before the
end OF this week and that the matter will
then be brought 10 a head.
In view OF the great publicity given to
the story. Mr.. Mooney has been per-
mitted to write out for publication a
statement, which Is also official. setting
forth his side of the case

Adverse to District.

He decides both questions adversely u
the District saying:
THAT the Commissioners OF the Dis
triet OF Columbia are not officers OF .ie
General Government OF the Uni,ed
States. but are officers OF the municipal
corporation OF the District OF Columbia
is a fact we'll established by the acts
OF Congress to provide government for
the District of Columbia and by deeis-
ions OF the United States Supreme Court
in cases where the status of the District
of Columbia has been called into Gues-
tion"
The act OF June IL. 1875. specifically
declares that the District shall remain
a municipal corporation and thar the
Commissioners shall be considered off,
GERS OF that corporation. This. Mr. Robb
holds. is sufficient TO prove eoaclusively
that the District is a separate corpora
ton and not a part of the General Gov
ernment. After quoting number of de-
cisions he says:
The business of the District OF CO.
lumbia is no more the business of the
United States than the business of the
Cltg VI bdlAluOEt the DCSlucSS OF k0c
State of Maryland.
Commissioners Exonerated.
In conclusion Mr.. Robb exonerates
the Commissioners from any wilIiul
abuse of the privilege by saying:
1T is not intended herein to reflect
in any manner upon the good faith Of the
Commissioners. nor their predecessors,
In the use OF the penalty envelope
am satisfied that the practice OF the
Commissioners. at stated in the letter
from their president. was both known
to and acquieSced in by the department.
This fact. while justifying the Commis-
sioners, is OF course not determinatlve
of their legal authority for such USE"

MIR. Mcfarland Surprised
Commissioner Macfarland was very
much surprised at the ruling of the As
sistant Attorney General. and In speak
ing Of its effect, said:
The decision cuts OF a privilege
granted the District government by the
Postoffice Department in 1884. and con-
frmed, directly or indirectly. by subse-
quent rulings OF the department. incIud-

The decision is the result of a request
upon the part OF Commissioner Macfar-
land for an opinion upon the right OF the
Commissioners to use penalty envelopes
for the transmission OF letters relating

this year by the citizens of the District
with the aid and support OF the Com
missioners. Mr.. Macfarland claimed the
envelopes could be used for such a pur-
pose. but Commissioner West held they

Mr.. Robb states that the question mar
