THE ASPHALT CONTROVERSY.
Copies of the Decision of the Vene-
zuelan Court Received.

Full copies of the decision of the supreme
court of Venezuela, technically known as
the federal and cessation court, that is,
court of the sole and last instance, in the
action against the New York and Bermu-
dez Asphalt Company have just reached
Washington and copy has been filed at
the State Department. The decision is very
long. 1t embodies history of the proceed
ings in the asphalt case in the lower
courts and is signed by seven judges. 1t
bears the date of February Is and in brief
amounts to an affirmation of the correct
ness of the proceedings in the lower court
leading to the attachment of the property
of the company. This action is based on
the charge that the company did not live
up to the terms of its concession in falling
to canaliZe certain streams and develop
certain natural resources of the country.
No notice appears to have been taken OF
the company's contention that 1t holds title
to its land at present, not solely under the
original concession, known as the Hamilton
concession of 1888, but under the land laws
of Venezuela under which patents have
been duly taken out for the land.

MILLIONS DUE THE CHERoKEEs.
Cases Decided Against the Government
by the Court of Claims.

The cases of the Cherokee nation of In
dams and of individual Cherokees against
the United States have been decided by the
Court of Claims. They involve large
amount of money and are of an unusual
and extraordinary character The United
States bought the Cherokee outlet, agree
Ing to pay for it $500, 900, being about 81
an acre, and also agreeing to reopen long
standing controversy between the govern
ment and the Cherokees. In 1885 treaty
was made under which the Cherokees were
to move or be removed from Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee to the Indian terri
tory. The Cherokees contended before they
were removed that under the provisions of
the treaty they were not to be made to pay
the cost of removing from homes which
they did not wish to leave to a country to
which they did not wish to go. The gov
eminent however, held to the contrary,
When the Cherokee outlet was sold they
stipulated that all of their accounts should
be reopened and the matter equitably set
tied. and for that purpose the United States
should make out an account and transmit
II to the Cherokee nation. If the Cherokee
nation adopted 1t Congress should imme-
diately appropriate for whatever balance
might be found due. The account was
the money, and for some time did nothing.
In the present suit the Court of Claims
decides that the account transmitted by
the Secretary of the Interior, followed by
this inaction of Congress, renders the
United States liable for the balance of ST.
Ill 2S4, with interest from June 70, 1885,
which amounts approximately TO 81, 500 600.

UTAH LAND FRAUDS.
Secretary Hitchcock Says They Are
State, Not Government, Lands.
From the Baltimore American.

A statement was made at the Interior
Department by an official close to the Sec
rotary that the so-called Utah land frauds
have been given consideration by the
department, for the reason that the lands
involved are all state lands, in which the
general government has no interest. Ger
tain rumors. seething with fraud, have
gained currency during the past few weeks
regarding the somnolence of the Interior
Department toward offenders of the law
In Utah A story which is alleged to have
come from Salt Lake City appeared in one
of the New York papers this morning, in
which charges were made against Secre-
tary Hitchcock, Ex-Governor Odell of New
York, John ID. Rockefeller, George Gould
and numerous others, in connection with
the securing of Utah lands at a figure
which mulcted the United States treasury
to the extent of over six millions of dol
lars. This story was shown to an official
OF the Interior Department this morning,
who read 1t carefully and made the state
ment referred to. The only section of the
story with which the national authorities
are in any way connected is that which
deals with the Florence Mining Company,
which is alleged to have obtained special
privileges in the Uintah Indian reservation
In Utah for securing valuable mineral land.
RMS is the company In which Governor
Odell Is alleged to have been interested.
1t Is stated that application was made to
the department for approval to leases
gained by this company, and that Secretary
Hitchcock turned down the application and
refused to have anything to do with fur
thering the desires of the company. He
steadfastly refused to approve any and
everything that would have the effect of
turning over any of the Indians land to
the company.
Whereupon recourse was had to Congress,
and in the Indian appropriation bill ap-
proved March 3 last, provision was made
that the Florence company and the Raven
Mining Company should be permitted to
prospect and locate claims on the Uintah
reservation to the extent of $40 acres each
This location must be done within sixty days
after the passage of the bill, however. AS
far as can be learned here, the represen-
tatives of these companies are the only ones
on the reservation at present
1t is announced that Secretary Hitchcock
has no connection with Adolf Busch the
st. Louis brewer and politician, or with
Buschs Gilsonite Company, which has val
liable privileges in Utah. The gilsonite
which is used in making varnish and insu-
lating material and of which the only de-
post is in Utah, has been found on the
state lands only, so far and the national
government has therefore nothing to do
with them.

Woman Justified in Killing Husband

Convinced that Mrs. Jessie A. Hopkins
acted in self-defence when she killed her
husband on New Years night, Judge Ker-
stem took the case from the jury and dis
charged the defendant at Chicago yester-
day.
IF a woman is unfortunate enough to
marry a brute" he said, she has the right
to defend herself, even to the point of TAX
ing his life"
When the court announced that he had
decided to free Mrs. Hopkins she jumped
to her feet and seemed about to faint. Then
a dozen women friends and relatives crowd
ed about her and kissed her. The prose-
cution agreed to the dismissal of the case.

Senatorship Cost Warner Just $29. 80

A dispatch from Kansas City says: Yester-
day was a day of endless handshaking and
congratulation with Missouri's new senator,
Maj. William Warner. He answered each
telephone call and personally greeted and
chatted with all who called. One visitor re-
marked ,aluding to the well-known fact
that Senator Warner is not a wealthy man:
well, l think that the state is fortunate
not to be represented at this time by mil
lionaire or a railroad man. Nobody can ac-
cuse you of having bought the senatorship"
Il hardly think so" said the senator, with
a laugh. What do you suppose 1t cost me
to be elected senator? Just $50. so.
President Roosevelt having requested Sem
ator Warner to nominate his successor as
district attorney for Western Missouri, Mr..
Warner will recommend his assistant, A s.
Van Valkenburg a native of Syracuse, n. Y.

Informally on the commissioner Monday
mornings, hereafter there will be no more
meetings such for the discussion of the
work of the Office and of the routine pro-
ceedings of their divisions Mr.. Warner
bases this action on the ground that such
meetings accomplish little and that more
effective results can be obtained by the
division chiefs reporting each morning the
number of cases received in their divisions
and acted on.
