UPHOLS HE DA Army Officer’s Report on Ute Sit- uation in South Dakota. PROMISES NOT LIVED UP TO Rations Cut in Half by the Agent and Attempt Made to Force Children to Attend Boarding School Away From the Reservation. ‘Washington, Nov. ' .—A very serlous breach has arisen between the Ute Indlans at Thunder Butte station, S. D., and their agent, Major Downs, and there is danger of a hostile collision at any moment, according to the latest report of Captain Carter P. Johnson, the army officer who was sent to the scene of trouble In the effort to pla- cate the Indians, who have unlimited confidence in him. According to Cap- tain Johnson the Indian agent and himself are at cross purposes and his report appeals to the authorities here to support him and cause Major Downs to abate harsh treatment of the Indians. The report says that the Yndians objected to sending their children to a distant boarding school, the refusal being on the ground that Captain Johnson had told them the children would be sent to sthool at the agency station. It adds that the agent has cut the ration in half; that the In- dlans are sincere in their statement and wish to live in peace; that Agent Downs refused to consider the Indians’ promise to comply with his orders and demands and the report adds that the application of “harsh and severe rem- edies” is not the best policy. Cap- tain Johnson says that the Utes are very hungry, their women and chil- dren are suffering and they believe they have been unjustly treated, Commissioner of Indian Affairs Leupp will have a conference with the president, at which the entire Ute question will be discussed and action in the matter probably decided upon. Allege Violation of Contract. Captain Johnson, in his report, states that the agent was incensed at the conduct of the Utes and that he (Johnson) had council with the Utes in camp, at which they informed him that their ration was cut one-half of what they had understood would be given them. This, they belleved, was not acting to contract. They asked Captain Johnson to act as arbitrator; they would accept the result, They sent all the children that the day school would accept, but refused to send other children to boarding school eighty miles away. They explained that Captain Johnson told them that the children would be sent to school at the station. “The agent,” Captain Johnson says, “cut'a vote to the head men to this fruit. affect: Would they obey him in this matter and In all the regulaflons? They replled that they wished to see. Captain Johnson, This reply was un- fortunate and it appears to have in- censed the agent, who required them to cast thelr votes at once. This council all voted ‘no’ and then fol- lowed the excitement which caused the call for volunteers and troops to be sent to the Ute camp to compel them to comply Wwith the agent’s wishes, : “If these people aré furnished with sufficient food to sustain life through "the winter and they he allowed to send all their children to day school they will be just as amenable to con. trol as the Sioux. One hundred pounds of flour and a little patience is a more potent factor in the solution of this problem than 100 soldiers.” INDIANS BEGAN - FIGHT. Officer’'s Report of Battle With the Navajos. Washington, Noy. —According to a dispatch received at the war depart- ment from Major R. L. Hirst, chief of staff of the -department of Colorado, at Denver, it Is belleved that the Navajo trouble in Southern Utah and Northern New Mexlco is near an end. The dispatch, which shows that those killed were Indians, includes a report from Captain Willard, who command- ed the expedition. The message re- ports the return of Captain Willard’s command, a squadron of the Fifth cavalry, from Aneth, Utah, with ten Indian prisoners, including Bylillie and nine followers. “I captured prisoners,” says Cap- tain Willard, “four miles east of An- eth at dawn Oct. 28. Bylillie and fol- lowers opened flrg on Indian police and my men and skirmish followed for twenty minutes, In which three Indians were killed and one seriously wounded. One cavalry horse slightly wounded. No other casualties. Pris- oners here in guardhouse. No further trouble apprehended.” Dies in Fit of Anger.

After an undisturbed rest of nearly a century in the circuit court of Fafir- fax county, Va., the Washington estate has been reopened by the appointment of an administrator for the undistrib- uted assets which consist of this al- most forgotten land which he pos- sessed. The land which the helrs seek to recover {is situated in Ohio and is fully described in Washington’s will, It aggregates nearly 10,000 acres and in- cludes practically all the land on Which the city of Cincinnati is built. Another tract of the land embraces Point Pleasant, the birthplace of Gen- eral Grant, while another, at the mouth of the Kanawha river, is rich in coal and ofl deposits. Part of the land was granted to Washington by the British govern- ment as a reward for his military services and part of it was granted to him by the United States later for the. Same reason.

DEFFCTIVE DACE MAY OUST HARRIMAN _ Shares of Union Pacific, - BTOCK PURCHASED OUTRIGHT New Holders Believed to Be J. P. Morgan and His Associates, With Whom John D. Rockefellor Is Now Said to Be Allied. New York, Nov. ,.—There has been & mysterious transfer in Wall street of 200,000 shares of Union Pacific stock, Financiers who are familiar with the situation are positive in their belief that the new holders are J. P. Morgan and his assoclates. They further de- clare that E. H. Harriman or his friends parted ‘with these securities and that the transfer foreshadows stu- pendous changes in the control and | management of this great property. This 18 in line with the claims that have been made for some time in the financial district that the domination of the Union Pacific is to pass out of the hands of Mr. Harriman. Mr. Har- rimen himself declared that the story 'wasg absurd and that if any transfer of stock had taken place it was probably in his direction and not toward the Morgan crowd. As the story goes William Rocke- feller and Mr. Harriman paid a visit to one of the largest stock broking: firms in Lower Broadway. By a peculiar coincidence the visit preceded by a very short time the report in the street of the transfer of the Union Pacific stock. 8tock Purchased Outright. So far as could be learned the stock Involved in the transaction was de- livered in its entirety to its pur- chasers, who pald for it outright and had it conveyed to their private | vaults, It has been shown by the recent developments that the two men in ‘Wall street who control the ready money are John D. Rockefeller and J. P. Morgan. It is also understood that some months ago John D. Rockefeller broke with his brother William and with the others of the Standard Oil and Amalgamated crowd and has been working in conjunction with the Mor- gan interests. There is every reason to believe that these two men are the only ones in the street at this time who could have produced sufficient capital to negotiate a deal of such magnitude as the purchase of 200,000 shares of Un- fon Pacific at 97, which would aggre- gate $19,400,000. 3 Those who claim to be in a position to know state that the deal will have a direct bearing on the formation of the great holding company for the securities held by the Union Pacific. FEAR EFFECT OF AGITATION Outside Interests Would End lllinois Central Warfare. Chicago, Nov. .—Powerful inter- ests in the East are reported to be bringing pressure to bear on both E. H. Harriman and Stuyvesant Fish to end the warfare for control of the Illinois Central railroad. The leading interests in other rail- ways arc said to be decidedly averse to having fought out in the courts, at this time, the question of the legal right of one railroad company to hold and vote the stock of another railroad company. Should the injunction issued by Judge Ball, restraining the voting of Illinois Central stock held by the Un- fon Pacific and other corporations, be sustained by the higher courts the Eastern financiers fear the way would be paved for similar litigation, which might result in the reorganization -or disorganization of the larger railway systems of the country, resulting in inestimable depreciation of railway securities generally. The greatest obstacle in the way of an amicable settlement of the fight for control of the Illinois Central is said to be the personal enmity of Fish and Harriman. So long as only the defeat of one of these men in the contest for control of the Illinois Cen- tral was involved in the fight the chief interests in other railways and in other corporations manifested- little interest, but they see this fight in an entirely different light when a possible outcome would be a ruling by the highest courts that no railway com- pany or other corporation may own and vote stock in any railroad char- tered in Illinois. NO ALCOHOL IN FINLAND, Its Manufacture or Importation Abso- lutely Prohibited. Helsingfors, Finland, Nov. !—The diet has adopted unanimously, without a roll call, the alcohol bill prohibiting absolutely the manufacture of alcohol in Finland or its importation into Fin- land.

In view of the passage of the bill temperance cclebrations are being held in every part of the country. Three Americans Among Injured. Manila, Nov. ..—The new railroad bridge over the Pasig river near Fort McKinley collapsed owing to the breaking of the superstructure and sixty workmen were precipitated into the river. Three Americans and twen- ty Filipinos were injured, The dam- age ia estimated at $100,000. Confesses to Wife Murder. .
