Congress to Adjourn Early.

Washington, March There is
something besides talk in the proposal
for an early adjournment of congress.
Usually the so-called long session lasts
until June, but private agreement, it
is said, has been reached between Pres
ident Roosevelt and the party leaders
in congress to adjourn the present
session much earlier than usual. No
date has been agreed upon, but it may
be as early as April 10. All are agreed
that since the Panama treaty has been
disposed of there is almost no import
ant legislation left except the big an
nual appropriation bills, and those are
well under way. Philippine shipping
bills will probably be passed by both
branwches before April l.

TOOPEN MORELAND
BILL INTRODUCED BY REPRESEN-
TATIVE JONES
Would Give Settlers Million
Acres of the Yakima Indian
Reseryation--Land Are Chiefly
Valuable for Farming and Tim.
Der.

Washington, March IF the mea-
sure proposed by Representative Jones
goes through congress, not less than
1000, 900 acres of land will be thrown
open to settlement in the state of Wash,
ington. He has introduced bill open
ing the Yakima Indian Reservation to
white settlement.
The lands are chiefly valuable for
farming and lum boring, but there are
some minerals. This great tract is
richer in resources than the average
Indian lands. The Jones bill provides
that the secretary of the interior shall
classify the unalotted lands and ap-
praise them. The agricultural and
grazing lands are to be taken up under
the homestead law and the mineral
lands under the mineral laws, the
arid lands under the desert land law,
and the timber lands are to be sold un-
der series of sealed bids. In each
case the entryman is required to pay
not less than the appraised value.
The bill recognizes the claim of the
Indians to about 800, 900 acres west of
the reservation, a tract which has
been under dispute for a long time.

FAIRBANKS WILLING.

Washington, March THE Star
Ssays: Senator Fairbanks will not
resist movement to make him the
vice presidential nominee of the Re-
publican party. If the convention
dominates him he will accept. More
than that he will not discourage efforts
looking to his nomination.
lit is only fair to say that no ex-
plicit declaration by Senator Fairbanks
to that effect has been made. The In
diana delegation in congress has, how
ever, been convinced that Senator Fair
banks has yielded TO the solicitation
of men high in the councils outside
of Indiana to take second place on the
national ticket.
Almost without exception his clos
est political friends have advised him,
in his own interest, against accepting
the vice presidency. Influential men
in the senate, such as Spooner, Plat
and Allison, have urged him TO take
it on the ground that he would strength
en- the Republican ticket, especially in
financial circles, and that his first
duty is TO his party rather than to his
own political FUTURE

five TRIBES AFFAIRS.
Bonaparte Spys Commission !.
Useless and Should Be
Done Away With.

Washington, March 8.-The presi-
dent has transmitted to congress re-
port of Charles j. BOnaparte and Cliff
ton Rogers Woodruff in the matter of
Irregularities in the Indian territory
The president says:
81 call special attention to the con-
dition of affairs in Indian territory as
therein set forth. In accordance with
the recommendation of Messrs. Bona
parte and Woodruff, the members of
the commission to the five civilized
tribes have been informed that if they
are to continue in the service they
must cease all connection with private
business operations of any kind in the
territory upon which it is possible that
their official positions could have any
effect, even though no such effect be
in fact be shown.
'What further action, if any, is to
be taken in regard to the commission,
or any of it's members, by the execu-
tive, will be determined upon after full
interior and careful consideration of
all the facts in the case. 1t will be
noticed that the secreatry of the inte-
rior does not believe it would be posi-
BILE, in accordance with the suggestions
of Messrs. Bonaparte and Woodruff, to
close up the work of the commission
this year and discontinue it according
ly. If it should be found possible,
would regard this as desirable and call
the attention of congress to the mat
ter.
Il also enclose a memorandum of
work of the commission to the five civ
ilized tribes"
Conditions Dangerous.
The report stigmatizes the conditions
in the territory as involving ''immedi
ate danger of ruin to the genuine In
dian population and profound discredit
to the United States, exciting reason
able discomfort ON the part of all
classes of the population, and demand
ing prompt and drastic remedies on
the part of congress.
The report reviews the report Of S.
M. Brosius, agent of the Indian Rights
Association, on conditions in the terri
tory and says that while the Brosius
report contains a plumber of intima-
tions and suggestions not justified by
the facts, it UNDERSTANDS the objection
able features of the administration of
public affairs there, and it's specific
charges respecting federal ocffiials are
substantially true The usefulness of
Commissioners Tams Bixby and Brock
enridge is stated to have been rendered
null because of their large holdings in
corporations dealing in Indian terri
tory property.
The report says the five tribes COM

tage, the remaining work to be done

zenship court
