content to accept what the Legisla-

An act to pay them a certain am
cunt was passed by the Senate, but
the House refused it third reading

cannot be learned, as copies of the

This defeat was a serious blow to

dams for their interpreter. Now that
it appeared probable that some pay
ment would be made by Vermont the
other scattered and feeble remnants
of the once powerful 1roquois desired
to participate in the negotiations.
There had not been sufficient time to
communicate with them previous to
the meeting, so a delay of some weeks
was granted. At length the two repre-
sentatives above named appeared with
authority from all the chiefs that could

act for them and agreeing to Williams
as interpreter.
The Indian is VIGOROUSLY fond Of
long winded negotiations, and this
conference was a lengthy one. Sever
al meetings had been held before the
commissioner could secure a definite
demand from the Indians. The In
dian talent for conducting such ne
gotiations appears plainly in the re-
port of the meetings and an examine
ton of the documents that passed be-
tween the chiefs and the commission
er shows that they had the advantage
of him so far as their natural talents
were concerned.
For instance, their first proposal was
them a certain amount per acre, TINS
amount to be the average paid by the
United States or the several States
under 20 different treaties.
Commissioner Hotchkiss replied
that this could not be considered, be-
cause these treaties We're drawn NJ
under varying conditions, that they
did not state the amount of land
granted, and that the terms of pay
ment were so varied that even the
amount could not be determined with
accuracy.
In response the Indian emissaries
stated that they had book contain
ing every acre granted and the am
7 cunts of payment all reduced to
common basis, so that the average
r price per acre could be found withou
trouble, and put the climax to the
+ commissioner troubles by stating
that these treaties We're on file at thu
State House so that he could exam

ANCESTOR HESSIAN COLONEL.
Yet Hiram b. Wedge Is Eligible to
Membership in Sons of American
Revolution,

Hiram b. wedge of this city Is one
of the few men in the country who are
eligible to membership in the Sons
of the American Revolution through
descent from a British soldier This
society is proud of the fact that it is
made up of descendants of men who
fought for the cause of American In
dependence and to be eligible one
must prove his lineage Mr.. Wedge S
distinction comes about from the fact
that his greatgrandfather, after serv-
ing under the Cross of st. George, left
that standard and enlisted with the
patriots.
Mr. Wedge, while proud of his des-
cent as any man might be, puts on
no airs over it, and probably few
people in the town are aware of the
facts in the case. In the course of a
terday the matter was brought up
and Mr.. Wedge told the circumstan-
ces, which are as follows:
Ezra b. Wedge was a colonel in a
Hessian Regiment, serving under
Frederick the Great in Prussia. When
George Third of England became hard
pressed for troops he made a con-
tract for the services of certain regi-
ments of Hessian troops and that
commanded by Colonel Wedge was
among those sent to this country
| They were in some of the hardest
campaigns of the middle and latter
| part of the war. Colonel Wedge came
to this country with but little know
ledge of the causes of the war, as in
those days news was not spread as
| it is now. Perhaps he did not ever
know that he vase to fight white
men like himself. At any rate, sooT
after coming here ne began to Learn
more about the American cause anC
saw the justice of it.
Becoming convinced that he was
fighting against the right, he left his
regiment whether by desertion or re
signation, it is not known and doe!
not matter. He took several of his
men with him and they enlisted il
the American army and served til
the close of the war.
When the fighting was over Colone
Wedge went to Connecticut and set
tied Two sons were born to him
One went West and his descendant
live in Ohio and the oher was tn
grandfather of Hiram Wedge. TIL
latter is a veteran of the Civil Wal
showing that the martial spirit live
lin the race. Although eligible, Nj

question had been granted by the
British crown without any reserva-
ton of Indian titles; that the Indians
were subjects of the King and that
by the treaty of 1888 jurisdiction over
these lands had been coded to the
United States and the title of the In
dams thereby eXtinguished. Mr.. Red
field held that the Indians We're in
dependent of Great Britain, that they
were friends in peace, allies in war,
and that as England had treated with
them as an independenr people before
the treaty of 1888, the United States
has so recognized them since.
, Governor Tichenor had reported
that there was a reservation of In
dian titles in the crown grants in New
York, but Mr.. Redfield said there was
no such reservation here. The crown
previous to the Revolution and the
United States since that event never
assumed to convey an unincumbered
(
dams, but granted and took a fee IN
numbered by the right of Indian &C.
cupancy and the sole right to eXtin-
guish the Indian title.
He concludes:
IF the Iroquois have been Invested
of their title it owuld seem more legit-
innate (sic) to say that they had been
Invested and the title obtained by con-
quest. Their very weakness
however, is a guarantee that they shall
De heard. That they will be heart
by the representatives of a people
whose attribute is Justice is the war
rant that their cause will be decided
justly"
Mr. Redfield's comprehensive re
port, denying the arguments that haC
been set up in opposition to the claim
and asserting that Indians, the origi
nal possessors of TIE land, had neve
alienated their title and had neve
been driven out of the land, but ha'
simply retired before the advance o
a powerful race, afforded much soo'
material for the Indians and their ad
visers in subsequent presentation .
their claims, and the Redfield repor
was freely quoted from to justify thei
contention.
The Legislature voted gratuity O
$50 to the Caughnawaga chiefs al
tending the session of 1854 and also
impressed by the report made by Nj
Redfield, authorized the appointment
of commissioner to examine int
the extent and value of the India
claims.
James M. HotchkIss who was al
pointed such commissioner, reporte
:, that the Indians were rightful claim

indian LAND CLAIMS
Last Attempt to Secure Mon
ey From Vermont Made
iu 1880
APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE
Caughnawagas Used TO Camp on Hill
Back OF State House-lnvestiga-
tons of Committees and Commits

siOners.
The last attempt of the Caughna
waga Indians to secure payment for
the lands in northern Vermont which
they claimed to have been their hunt
ing grounds taken by the white man,
was made in 1880, and many people
in Montpelier and ABOUT the State re-
member that affair. But very few re-
member the previous attempts to Sc
cure payments and the embassies that
were sent to the Vermont Legislature
to secure justice for the Indians.
In 1885, which appears to have been
the last year any large delegation
was sent here, the entire hill back
of the State House was covered with
woods and the Indians camped there,
as they had done for several years
previous. The presence of band of
Indians was a wonderful attraction
to the boys of the town, while the old
er people made frequent visits to the
encampment The Caughnawagas
were superior class or their race,
a member of the old Indian confeder-
alton which it is claimed gave the
idea for the confederation that be-
came the United States. The lro-
quois were powerful because of their
intellectual superiority to the other
tribes, and the Caughnawagas, though
the last organized remnant of the
old confederation, had not been brok-
en- by conquest and retained the
pride and the high sentiments that
animated the confederated tribes in
their time of power. They were tall,
we'll built, stately men, the kind of
Indians Cooper delighted to describe,
having some of the best qualities of
their race and but little contaminated
by contact with the whites.
Vermont suffered little, compare
lively, from Indian depredations and
Indian hostilities, the burning of Roy
alton and the taking of prisoners
there being the most important af-
fair of the kind. The Indians had
had their experiences with the whites
before the settlers had made any large
invasion of Vermont, and instead OF
resisting gradually fell back before
them. The power of the lroquois
confederation had been broken before
many settlements had been made in
Vermont, and the last remnant of the
nation retired to Canada. The Caugh-
nawagas made their nome at the vii
lage of Sault st. Louis, district OF
Montreal, Lower Canada, and during
the negotiations with the authorities
of Vermont were about $500 people
The first attempt of this tribe to Sc
cure payment from the State was made
in 1898. A memorial, dated Septem
Der 20 of that year, reads thus:
