IN INDIAN BILL
Senate Passes Clapp's Amend.
ment Providing for Allotments
to Mixed Bloods.
Bv w, w. Jermane,

Washington, April 24.-The senate
today adopted Senator Clapp's amend
ment to the Indian appropriation bill,

Indians on the White Earth reserva-
ton. An amendment provides further

the secretary.

gates several hundred thousand acres
and the Immediate effect Of the amend
ment, if it is agreed to in conference,
will be the sale of large number Of
allotments to white people. It is prob
able, however, that the amendment will
be opposed by the house conferees, and
if Senator Clapp. wins, it will only be
after the hardest kind Of fight.

FIRST PARLIAMENT
Emperor Decides to Go to st

in Parade.

ST. Petersburg, April 24.-After much
hesitation, Emperor Nicholas has finally
decided to come to Petersburg to
greet the representatives of the people
and personally open the first Russian
parliament. May 10.
His decision comes as a surprise, as
it was supposed that after his long
absence from the capital, he would not
dare to leave the shelter Of the palace
of Tsarkoe-Selo. But Premier Witte
and other adviMsers urged that it
would be great blunder to miss such
an opportunity:
A most elaborate program has been
prepared. The ceremony will be at
tended by the pomp and circumstance
BETTING the event. Imperial heralds
will pass thru the streets summoning
the representatives of the people and
an imposing military escort will ac-
company the emperor to the Tauride
palace, where parliament will assemble.
It is rumored that the emperor, in
greeting parliament, will announce gen
eral amnesty for political prisoners.

Speeding across the continent from
Minneapolis to San Francisco and the

thirty-two cars Of Minneapolis flour for
the relief of the destitute and suffering
earthquake and fire sufferers. Every car
is bearing the sign Of the Red Cross
organization, thru which the Minneap-

The placards are printed in red, and
in the center of each is a large red

Raising Relief funds.

Following the preliminary canvass Of
the Individual and business interests Of
the city, the workers in charge of the
California relief fund are now operat-
ing on strict cash basis. From now
on the generosity of Minneapolis will
be measured by cash in hand. At noon
today the total amount actually in the
hands Of Treasurer E. W. Decker was
$36,067.43.
Tho the pledges reported exceed this
amount they will not be considered I'M
til converted into cash. The executive
committee is determined that $4,000
must be raised for the general fund Of
the city, known as the California relief
fund. Many organizations and churches
are raising special funds, but will dis
tribuate them thru their special
sources rather than thru the Minneapo-
lis fund. These subscriptions cannot,
therefore, be counted with the general
fund of the city.
