SALE OF LIQUOR TO INDIANS
Commissioner Leupp's Comment on
the Minnesota Controversy

Referring to the controversy in Minnesota
as to the effect outside Cass Lake Indian
reservation of the order Of the commits
sicEer OF Indian affairs forbidding the sale
o. liquor at the agency, Commissioner
Leupp said today that the office had issued
the order on the representation that 1t was
necessary in the interest Of the Indians
leaving the Department of Justice to take
care Of any legal complications that may
ersue.
Mr.. Leupp admitted his qualification over
the prospect of a judicial settlement of the
question involved. because Of the need of
n.ocern Interpretation of the law under
which the order was Issued. He says that
this statute. like many others bearing upon
the administration of the Indian bureau is
old and possibly of doubtful Interpretation
under present conditions. and adds that he
will welcome court test of 1t as well as of
other laws Of the same character.
United States Indian Agent Scott at
Walker, Mimi, has received INSTRUCTIONS
from the Interior Department to enforce
the law forbidding liquor in the so-called
Indian country United States District
Attorney Houpt at St Paul says that a
strict enforcement of the law will result
in the confiscation Of every saloon or liquor
store in all of Minnesota, north of Fort
Smelling. This territory includes Mime
apolis, Duluth, st. Cloud, Moorhead, Crooks
ton and hundreds of smaller places The
district attorney says that If the law is en-
forced the lid will be shut down so tight
in northern Minnesota that only an act of
Congress can raise 1t.
The order of the Interior Department is
based on a decision of United States Judges
Lochren and Morris. who in recent cases
decided that 1t was unlawful to maintain
saloon on allotted Indian lands, even after
the fee had passed to white person.
This decision, the district attorney saws
follows a United States Supreme Court
opinion upholding the treaty with the In
dians negotiated in 1863, by which the
United States acquired Indian lands in the
Red river valley. One of the articles in this
treaty prohibited the sale of liquor in this
territory until otherwise provided by an
act of Congress. There are two other
treaties with the Indians negotiated in 1854
and 1855, ceding TO the United States the
Lake Superior country. including Duluth
and northwestern Wisconsin and the mid
die part of Minnesota north of Fort SMELL
ing. Both If these treaties contain the
prohibitory clause.

diers are proving to be more effective than
the police In handling tho crowds. The
soldiers are popular and the crowds gensr-
ally obey their orders. Accompanying the
ordinance declaring martial law is an ur-
gency ordinance increasing restrictions on
the press and giving authority for the sus-
pension of papers guilty OF increasing the
excitement and other breaches of order.
Under this ordinance the government has
suspended the publication of the Mlyako'
the YuroZu and the Oiroku.
The Tokyo municipality has passed res
olution denouncng the terms and favoring
the abandonment of the peace treaty.
Comment Of Press.
The municipality had planned a mass
meeting at Hibaya Park today, but on ac-
count Of the danger of disorder voluntarily
Cancelled the meeting.
The Jill says:
Such deplorable phenomenon In city
where the emperor resides Is highly sgnifi-
cant that the only course open 40 the cab
met is to resign"
The Hochi deplores such occurrences in
the capital of a victorious country and says
that Tokyo has been converted Into a st
Petersburg. 1t further urged a refusal to
ratify the treaty of peace, which 1t says
is the sole cause for the sad occurrences.
The Mainchi says: Hear the voice OF
the nation. Heed the expression Of the ma
tions desire. The nations voice Is full OF
anger
THE resignation of the cabinet might ap-
pease popular indignation"
All the papers avoid the use Of the word
mob" and openly sympathize with the
destruction of the police stations.
The Asahi asserts that the obstinacy of
the government Is responsible for the at
tacks on the Christian churches, adding:
Had the government lent an ear to the
popular voice and refrajned from enraging
the people by its obddracy Tokyo would
have been spared the shame and humiliation
of the mob rising, resulting in the destruc-
tion of the mission property. Foreign sus-
ceptibility has thus been touched. We re-
gret the occurrence greatly"
French Legation Guarded.
PARIS September s.-The foreign office
has received a dispatch from Tokyo saying
that the French legation is guarded by
eighty soldiers and that the security Of the
personnel of the legation is not considered

Another important ruling was that
no applications for the purchase of

In the future unless the application
is attested before the clerk of the cir
cult court of the county in which the
land is situated, and that satisfactory
proof must be furnished the state
