Washington, March If the mea-
sure proposed by Representative Jones
goes through congress, not less than
l,OOO, 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 umbering, 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 minera
lands under the mineral laws, the
arid lands under the desert land law.
and the timber lands are to he sold I'M
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, tract which has
been under dispute for long time.

that France will soon become a partic-
ipant in the far Eastern war has been
brought before the Washington admin
istration within the past forty eight
hours. CONTRARY to the general expec-
tation and to the former belief of Sec
rotary Shaw. the $40, 900, 900 payment
to the new Panama canal company of
France will be shipped to Paris i'll the
form of gold coin. This is in response
to a request made by the canal COM
pany.
1t was formerly believed that the
payment would be made through the
mediumof international exchange, and
the decision in favor of actual coin is
believed to bear much signicfiance
Several members of the French canal
company are identified with the gov.
eminent of France and there has been
plain intimation that the big pay
ment from the United States is wanted
in France in order to assist that nation
in preparing for the contingency OF
taking up arms in behalf of her ally
in the war with Japan.
The opinion is strong in Washington
that another serious Russian reverse il

and that the present cabinet. which i.
committed to a neutral attitude. would
