.juDGMlNT RENDERED
BY the FedaraI Court Of Claims in Favor
of the Loyal
Sioux Indians of the Waiipeton and 81!
seton Bands. Based
Upon the Treaty made in July, Abou
FiftysiN Years Ago.

tutySit ~ NSO.
The United States court of
claims at Washington ID. G. has
rendered judgment in favor of the
loyal members of the Sisscton and
Wahpcton bands of Sioux Indians
and against the government for
IS1SS.91l.
The claims were based on the
treaty of July %, 1851, by the
terms of which the government
agreed to pay these Indians $780,
600 and an annuity of $4,000
for fifty years. Payments were
regularly made until 1863. Dur
ingthc preceding year am outbreak
of Sioux occurred. in which they
committed dcprcdations and out
RACES upon the settlers of Mime
sofa.
In 1868 Congress passed IN act
forfciting these annuities to the
government, but subsequently
from time to time made a%ppropri-
ations for the benefit of some of
the Indians who had not been en-
gagged in the uprising of 1868.
BY the act of June 81 1906 Con-
@rcss authorized the court of
claims to determine what amount
would now he due the Indians who
had not taken any part in the dep
relations, had not the forfeiture
act of 1863 been passed. 1t also
authorized the Secretary of the In
terror to pay the sum due to the
loyal Indians, per capita, after de
Quoting the partial payments that
had from time to time been made.
1t is assumed that the amount.
lS7ss,97l, will be paid to the sur
viving peaccahle Indians in the
near future.

Knichtao &c.

Knightage is not d great deal to our
American notion, and as q matter of
fact has fallen very low in England.
Singularly enough the English name of
this degree is almost the only one
which does not imply its equestrian
nature In France a knight is styled
''chevalier," from ''cheval," u horse, as
in German ritter or rider. A knight
in a game of chess is a horses head.
In it's earlier days knighthood pertain
ed only to men of arms. Sir William
Walworth, the first civilian to receive
the honor. actually obtained it for per-
forming the military function of Stay
ing Wat Tyler. Henry VIII. knighted

A SHIP WORTH TAKING.
What the Capture of the San PHILIPPE
Meant to England.

q.
On the 9th of June. 1857, Drake, com.
ing back from "singeing the king Of
Spain's beard in Cadiz," fell in with
huge vessel, which he captured She
proved to be the San PHILIPPE, an East
Indiaman owned by the king of Spain
himself and then the largest merchant
man afiOat.
Her cargo, valued at more than a mil
lion sterling Of modern money, was in
itself the most valuable ever captured
but there was something else even
more valuable than the cargo. This
consisted of the ships papers and ac-
counts, which disclosed to the mer-
chant Adventures of England all the
methods and mysteries and the bound
less possibilities of the East India
trade
Indeed. it would hardly be stretching
the facts to say that the morning which
saw the capture of the San PHILIPPE saw
also the dawn of our Indian empire.
The immediate result was the fOrma-
ton of the East India company, which
was not only the greatest commercial
corporation the world had ever seen,
but also the only one that ever com
handed its own armies and fleets and
welded powers little less than impe-
