Specral Iiapatch to The Chicago Tribune, ‘WasuiNaToN, Nov. 27.—The Supreine Court of the United States hiaa just rendered a dacision, iho ultunate rosult of which, it would seem, must haston tho solution or tho troublesome problom of tho tribal relations of the Indians, #nd of tho questiou of their recognition as cibi= zons of tho United States. ‘Cho immediate ro- sults will be to destroy somo very valuablo pino timber contracts, aud to render a considorubie number of Indiun tiihes almost enlirely dosil- tuto. Tho Supreme Court, Chief Justica Waito rendoring the decision, bus docided thut tne Indinu tribes of this cvuntry DO NOT OWN Il FEE to tho lands within their respectivo reservations, and are only teuants of tho United States, to whom alone tho fce belongs. 'The decision also bolds that the timber and minerals are o portion of the realty, aud thut the Indian tribes cannot Boll tha one nor lense tho uther. The cago camo ap from the reservation of the Oneldn Indians, near Green Bay, in Wiscousin, whero oue or two Indinug bad disposed of s quanttiey of pine logs. Tho Indisu Ageut, ON BEUALP OF THE TRIDE, brought a suit for replavin to rocuver the loss, oo the ground that ilie lands and tho timbor thereon belouged to the Iudisns w their tribal telations. Tho case, haviug pussed through the vatious nppellate courts, hns Just boen decided by tho United States Supreme Court. This do- sision will seriously affect some ten or twelve of tio most important Indisn ngeoeivs. It will do- Eli\'u the Indiens of theso opencies of what has ot supposed to be their most important pos- scesious—tho pine linds., In sevetal of tho agoneics tho MAIN EOULCE OF THE SUPPONT of tho Indionw 1s der:ved fiom tho sale of logs. Lhio rosorvations at Dienomiueo and Bay City, Vis,, will bo seriously injuved by this decision. No more pino tuuber can be sold by the Iudians ou these rezotvations, The pius hereafter sold must be sold under the authority of o spocial nctof Congtess, and tho proceods turnod into tho United Btatos ‘Treasury. This will, of course, onnceifitbo noted Rod Wing and Wilder pine con- tructs “in Wisconein, inasuiuch as tho basis of tho salo is a uullicy, The Indians upon one reser- vation in Kansng,who liave been recoiving alargo royalty from sonie conl-lands, will be DEPRIVED OF TLEIL REVENUR from that sourco, It i# the gencinl opinion of tho Indian ofticinls that tho result inovitably will bo that Congress will be obliged to provide some meaus whereby the Indians cun become citizons and ncquire property rights, as this decision xeally strips tho Iudius of thoir homos, snd DEBTROYS THX OLD FOUNDATION upon which tho tribal relations have beon sup- Emsml 1o bo based, It iu vory fortunate for tho tockbridge Indiana that thoy have this summer recoived puy for the pine nirendy sold, as it is certaiu thut tho Goverumment will not a.tempt to recover tho money for the pine that Lns atroady been sold. It does follow, howover, that all the contracts for thosalo of pino timbor by the In- diaug must bo aunulled. —— JESUITS AMONG THE INDIANS, FHE MEXICAN PRIESTHOOD ATTEMPT TO ESTAD LISIE 4 HIERAROUY AMONG THE ARIZONA INDIANE ~—THEY BRER TO REDUCE THE INDIANS To VASSALAGE—THEY WOULD DESTHOY FRER BCHouLE, Suecral Dispateh to The Chicaoo 2ribune, Wasuwaroy, D, C,, Nov, 27.—R.
