Curtis-TelIer Committee to Tell Who
Swind1ed the Kiclzapoos.

| Washington, Dec. 16.-Senators Tel
Ter, Curtis and La Toilette, composing
the committee which was authorized
to investigate the affairs of the Kicka-
poo Indians, will soon submit to the
senate a report giving the names of
several persons who are alleged to
have dealt fraudulent1y with the
Kickapoos who emigrated to Mexico
and who disposed of their lands at
Shawnee, Okla.
The report mentions a CLIQUE known
as the "Chapman-G rimes-Connie peo-
ple," and says that their conduct IN
securing the valuab le lands owned by
the Mexican Kickapoo Indians was
criminal and brutal in the extreme 1t
is recommended that a special attor-
ney shall be appointed who shall act
under the direction of the department
of justice in entering suits to set aside
all deeds to Kickapoo lands.
The alleged criminal acts of the
men mentioned in the report appear
to be very hard to deal with, in the
opinion of the committee, for the
reason that most of them were COM
Concerning the doings of the Chap
man. Grimes-Connie people, the report
says:
"Outrages were shamelessly perpe-
trated by them and their conduct has
never been equaled in the history of
any dealings to secure lands from the
American Indians. The names of the
Indians were wilfully and deliberately
forged to the deeds claimed to have
been taken in Mexico. Two or three in
stances are sufficient to show to what
extremes they went. They had all the
leading members of the tribe or head
men of the tribe arrested and throws,
into Jail. They then took a large
number Of Indians by force and under
guard of policemen to the Guajardos
house in Muzquiz, where they urged
the Indians to sell their lands, which
the Indians declined to do, telling
them invariably that they did not de-
sire to sell their lands, and under no
circumstances would they sign any
papers; yet these people claim to have
deeds executed at the Guajardos house
by the Indians. The Indians all say
that they did not sign; and the Indian
used on the different oc-
casions each say that the Indians did
not sign their names, touch the pen
or authorize anyone to sign their
names or touch the pen for them"

Seven BeIated and Battered Steamers
Creep Into Port

New York, Dec. 6.-Battered by en-
quilting seas that delayed their passage
across the Atlantic, seven Transatlan-
tic steamships due here Saturday, crept
into port last night, with their sides
and superstructures showing evidence
of the continual storm they met.
The belated Anchor line steamer As
toria reached here after stormy pas
sage during which her machinery broke
down and compelled her to lay to for
"a hours. Several coastwise steamers
bound south were forced to anchor in
Sandy Hook bay for shelter and sailed
away when the gale blew itself out.
La Lorraine. of the French line, which
led the delayed Transatlantic fleet up
the harbori had a rough trip and her
passengers were permitted on deck only
occasionally. The steamers Breslau,

stories of gales and seas. Thomas
