First Round In Chippewa
Suit.

Immediately to take testimony for
an early hearing.
The Chippewas of Minnesota
can judge for themselves whether
the sworn answers of tho officials
are true or not according TO the
construction placed upon the Act
of 1889 by the commission created
by the Act, and also their state
ments made to the Chippewas
while negotiating with the latter
for their assent to the Act.
Without referring to the records
of the negotiations. our recollec-
tions of the statements made by
the chairman of the commission
when direct question was sug-
gested to him by Chief Bakein-ow-
aush was, that means would be
provided by the government for
the removal of the Chippewas
from other reservations to this
reservation. And at another time
the chairman stated that only from
time to time, when absolutely nee
essary, would five per cent of the
tribal fund be appropriated by
Congress and which amount would
be used only to relieve distress
among the Chippewas.
1t was not at all distressing to
the Chippewas of Minnesota to
not have employees paid from
their tribal funds before this was
commenced, but distress has been
caused amongst them by the large
annual appropriations that have
been made annually to pay the
horde of employees who are now
receiving salaries for doing practi-
cally nothing.

Local Cotton Firm Refuses 24 1-2 Cents for Middling

view of the Memphis exchange, fol- lows
 "In view of the conditions existing in the speculative centers of this country the Memphis Cotton exchange desires to state that the cotton trade of Memphis and adjacent territory feels that the decline in quotations as represented in the future markets of New York and New Orleans is ab- solutely unjustified by legitimate spot or trade conditions and is being ignored by the holders of spot cotton here.
 '.There has been no disposition by banks or lenders to force the sale or cotton: on the contrary, a large part of this crop has been sold at full prices, making the position of hold CTS of cotton stronger than ever De- fore. Fundamental conditions remain unchanged. The supply is not suffl- cient to meet conservative estimates or consumption. Cost of production has been tremendously increased. Cot ton is the cheapest textile in the world. Should our present political fears De realized exports will be facilitated rather than further interfered with.
 ID. S. WEAVER, President Memphis Cotton exchange"
 "The Pine Bluff Cotton exchange approves and. endorses every word of the above resolution. With spots sell ign on our streets and moving out at from 20 to 26 cents on Friday and Saturday of this week we can see no cause for uneasiness on the part of holders.
 "Our local banks are not urging holders to sacrifice or sell cotton the supply today is not sufficient for the demand. as based on the general estimates of consumption.
