Indians Claim Huge Sum
From Government.

Marshfeld, Ore.-On the spot
where the treaty of Empire was
signed Aug. 30, 1855, between the
United States government and the
coast Indians, including the Coos,
Umpqua and Siuslaw tribes, the
remnants of these aborigines met
at Empire and sat in council to
consider the settlement of their
claims against the United States
government.
The council was called to pro-
vide a chief for the Indians of the
tribes mentioned, the last recog-
nized chief, Bob Burns. who was a
Coos, having died five or six years
ago. Until the attempt by George
WATSON, a Coos descendant and a
graduate of Carlisle, to secure for
the coastal tribes a settlement of
their claims, there has been no
apparent reason for a chief, for
the remnants of the tribe we're
scattered and without concentra-
ton.
When the treaty of Empire was
dug from the dusty tombs of the
Congressional library and depart
ment of the. interior, congressman
who we're fair minded toward In
dian claims ordered an investi ga
ton, which, to be presented in
legal form, demanded the election
of chief and credentials for the
three tribes who we're signatories
to the treaty.
The government after twenty
years sent a special agent to their
last government "corral'' at Vac
hats to sign another treaty, but
the Indians are insisting upon their
rights under the original treaty.
The claims set up by the tribe
represent something over $12,.
100000. They believe that they
can effect settlement within the
next two yerrs.-Ex.
We sincerely wish our brethren
of the Coast success in their un-
dertaking.
There are fair-minded men in
Congress and it IS to be hoped
that they will assist these Indians
to the utmost in getting their
claim before the courts.
The Interior Department can be
safely counted upon to hinder
these Indians in their efforts tc
secure what they believe to be
their rights.
We believe that the Indians
should meet the demand of the
sympathetic congressman and or.
ganize into concentrated body
by electing chief, aud then tc
secure the proper credentials.
There must be a recognized person
to sign as complainant, and the
credentials demanded seem to be
no more that what must eventual.
ly serve as testimony if a juris'
dictional bill is passed.
It's nard row you have to hoe
brethren, but be of good courage,
and above all single minded, and
if differences exist, settle them, sc
that you may appear Of ole mind
before the courts.
The Chippewas of Minnesota
have learned some lessons, and
feel competent to prefer advice.

STOCK HOLM CONFERENCE.

Apparently, the Socialist conference
at Stockholm, so carefully planned
bv the German government. is likely
to prove Il boomerang. Already
It is seen that anti German views
will control the meeting. a leading
Swedish Socialist, Hjalmer Brantlng
declares that the kaiser and junker-
dom must go and the German polit-
zeal system be reurganized before
peace is possible The Richmond
Journal says this will be a blow to
the crafty Count Won Bernstolff, who
has been dispatched to Stockholm to
grease the ways for Berlin's domi-
nance of the gathering. Branting's
pronouncement is ::'ogarded as equlva-
lent to arraying ali the neutral dele.
cations in favor of Il declaration
against kaiselism as 4 preliminary
condition to admitting the German
delegates, controlled by the imperial
government. 1t would seem TO be 4
clever checkmate. Brantin@ voices
peace without annexation, but would
consider each case separately. The
one great obstacle is AlSace-L Lorraine.
This. he says. can be settled only by
Il vote Of the people Of the two prov
inccS. which is an cminently fair dis
position, providing an honest. e.,
untrammclcd-plebiscite can be
taken In that event it is believed
the decision will be overwhelmingly
in favor Of France. Granting further
holds that Germany should pay an
indemnity to Belgium and that enor-
nous indcmnitieS must be demanded
for ships sunk by submarines. For
this reason neutrals have right to
speak at the Stockholm conference.
1t is said that the German delegation
mas agreed that Belgium. Servia and
other states deprived Of their indie
pcndence should regain it completely,
and that recognition Of the claims to
independence of Finland and Russian
Poland be granted.

THE CASE OF RUTH CRUGER.

Such a tragedy as that Of the muir
der Of Ruth Crugcr whose dead body
WAS found in 4 cellar in New York,
she having been murdered with her
rollerSkates, is naturally attracting
much attention.
One lesson which the case empha-
sizes is the perils Of great cities. cs-
pecially to the young and inexperi-
enced. 1t is familiar lesson, which
has been painted in moral and ply
Steal destruction innumerable instan-
ceS before, but it does not seem to
have impressed itself with sufficient
force on the guardians of our young
people. AS contemporary says, we
grow so accustomed to their going
out on the streets and coming back
safely. so used to the smooth rou-
tine of life. that we forget the moral
and physical evils and menaces that
necessarily exist in large centres of
population, and We permit children to
take risks Of ali sorts that they
should not be permitted to run. Our
American boys and girls resent super
vision of their lives, liberties and
pursuits of happiness. They imbibe
early the American belief in freedom,
and they think their fathers and
mothers silly and old-fashioned when
they warn them not to go to this
or that place alone. Occasionally a
horror akin to that of Ruth Cruger
suddenly awakens thoughtless par
entS.

ALEXANDRIA MAY GEL IhE
OVERFLOW.

Since the United States declared
war on Germany there has naturally
been great activity in Washington
in preparing the nation to enter INTO
this great struggle. Thousands OF
persons have been drawn, in one way
or another, to. Washington and the
MANY houses there which had been
idle for long time are being occupied
by newcomers. In short time 1t VIII
be necessary for many members oil
this floating population to cast their
eyes in other directions for houses IN
which to place their families. They
will naturally take glanceS ACROSS
the river at Alexandra, where a
number of houses have for some time
been tenantless.
Real estate agents already report
an active demand for certain class
of houses, that is such lis will ac-
commodate people Of moderate III
comes. There some idle houses which
are too large for most people, while
there are numbers Of others which
are not up-to date. and lack modern
conveniences. There is. Of course, but
little demand For such.
About decade ago there was an
active demand for dwellings Of mod
crate size in Alexandria. Many per.
sons whose: .v9cations arc in Wash
ington were considering the advisable.
ity Of moving to this city. Unwisely
as it seemed, most property owners
resided in Alexandria. In most cases
it was shown that suitable houses
: could be procured in Washington at
figures close to those charged here.
Hence these prospective renters con-
cluded to remain near their places Of
employment and save the fare be.
tween the two cities.
1t is hoped that all interested will
do everything possible to profit by
present conditions in Washingtoa.

cal edifce in Spain is gaining adher-
tents everywhere. Discomfort with

New York, June 19.--The hourly
| imminence of a revolution in Spain
the willingness of King Alfonso to
abdicate his throne and his anxiety
to run for president of the Spanish
republic-these and other astonlsh
| ing disclosures are contained IN
letter just received in New York
from a high quarter in Spain.
! 1t is intimated by the writer
whose sources of information are
said to be authoritative, that by the
time the actual affairs in Spain are
made known to Americans a Spanish
revolution may be under way, if moi
an accomplished fact.
Most astonishing Of all is the re-
ported attitude of the king, who is
willing to proclaim his republican
sentiments and aspirations for the
I free suffrage of his people.

THE FLAG OF TRUCE.

The flag of truce is always flying
from the German mast. 1t has been
flying for a year and half. Con-
sdering that the allies have never
inquired Tor terms or manifested
much interest in peace, or responded
with any degree Of cordiality to the
German overtures made last Deccn
Der. this constant proffer Of peace
by Germany is at least very unGig-
slifed. If Germany is in the condi-
tion it claims to be in, let its uncon-
ouerable people and lis invincible
army keep Oh fighting until the allies
sue for peace
Germany's offer OF peace to Russia
has been treated with Scant courtesy.
As is suggested by contemporary.
these repeated offers Of peace, these
inceSsant overtureS for = suspension
of hoS.iiities, can only mean two
things. German purposes i'll precipi-
Eating this war have been completely
thwarted, and Germany is trying to
get out Of the scrape without actually

and his Chancellor know perfectly

has been tried very nearly to the
breaking point. and it is uncertain
how much longer they will consent

The Imperial Government has done
none OF the things it assured the
people before the war it could do. The
Crown Prince has failed at Nerdun,

it is not likely TO be talked of, since
three officers who remarked thereon
We're shct ut sunrise next morning.
There is no doubt that the suffer

people are certainly underfed, and
there is believed to be only one family

AVIATOR KILLED vN GKOUNI

lit by Propeller Blade OF Flame and
Skull Crushed.
New York, June t9.-Sergeant Will
lam Carrothers, formerly OF the
Engineer Corps, who would soon have
received his commission in the United
States aviation corps, was killed yes
terday by Il strange accident on
not over--the Hampstead Plains avia-
ton field. The blade of his motor
smashed his skull.
Sergeant Carrothers took an early
morning fight with NJ. Matthew, an
expert airman. They had been up
but short time when something
went wrong with the plane motor.
Matthew guided the machine to earth
on Field No. , There the difficulty
was adjusted and the motor began
to tune up. the propeller revolving
rapidly.
They stepped closer to the mach!ne
to take their places in it. Carrothers,
facing the car, slipped and fell for
ward. A whirling blade struck his
head and ne dropped unconscious.
The spot was a good distance from
the hangers, so Matthew used the
plane as a flying ambulance. He
lifted Carrothers into the observers
seat and flew with him to the sheds.
Thence an army ambulance carried
the still unconscious sergeant to the
Nassau Hospital He died soon.

formerly stationed at West Point.

$4,000 tons, and many sugar men

amount. The price at which the crop
so far sold has been disposed of is
