INDIEN 88 Rue Ges “Archives,” Paris. a ne re G@RILLON ie es as NOT CREDITED. The Story of Fraudulent Indian Claims Denied. Last week The Star printed a telegram from Rushville, Neb., to the effect that the trip of Senator Kyle, subchairman of the Senate committee on Indian depredations, to the Indian reservations in South Dakota for the purpose of investigating claims against the government, is likely to result in some spicy revelations and indirectly af- fect certain prominent officals of the gov- ernment. Among other things, the testi- mony of some of the witnesses taken be- fore Senator Kyle shows that prominent claim lawyers have visited the Indian res- ervations ard have manufactured claims against the government which have not the shadow of foundation. The story has stirred up more than a little talk in this city, One authority, a clerk in the. Indian office, who has for years been engaged in the examination of these claims and as special agent in the field, said to a Star reporter'yesterday that, in his opinion, there was not a word of truth in the story. He did not believe that among the five thou- sand claims filed there are ten that are fraudulent. “All these are old storie: he said, “and are quite without foundation. Now, @ glance at the act of March 3, 1801, providing for the adjudication and payment of such claims, would settle the whole ques- tion. This provides that ell claims which had been filed and allowed before the pass- age of the act shall have priority of con- sideration by such court and judgments for the amounts found due shall be rendered. So it is that these are the claims that have been ‘acted upon by the court. No claims, as stated in the article in question, have been passed by the court. These claims were all filed‘from ten to twenty years ago, and any frauds would have been discovered long ago. ———_— + e+ _____ LASKER IS CHAMPION. He Beats Steinitz After Playing Nine- teen Games.

As heretofore stated in The Star, McCann was under arrest upon a warrant charging him with conducting the plumbing business without having first obtained a license therefor. The District showed that a license had been refused McCann by the plumbing board, and that McCann endeavored to con- duct his business without It.

Davis is employed as a cook at Wormley’s Hotel, and while preparing dinner one of the bell boys of the establish- ment entered the kitchen and asked for something to eat. Davis informed him that the midday meal was not then ready, whereupon the other indulged in profanity.

WED Marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Josephine at Brussels, PENSION FOR THE LESSEPS FAMILY A Matador’s Horrible Death at a Bull Fight, GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS BRUSSELS, May 28.—The marrige of Princess Josephine of Belgium to Prince Charles of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen took place today. The wedding was a distinctly private affair, and therefore all the cere- monies were performed within the walls of the palace. The Princess Josephine is the second daughter of the Count of Flanders, and Prince Charles of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen is the younger brother of the Crown Prince of Roumania. The wedding was originally fixed for the 15th instant, but was post- poned until today in order to enable the King of Roumania to be present. Josephine and Charles have known one another from babyhood, and have met every year at Weinburg, on Lake Con- stance, the country seat of their grand- father, the late Prince Charles Antoine of Hohenzollern-Sigmarifigen, father of the bridegroom's father and of the bride's mother. As the young people grew up they became greatly attached to each other, but for some time the family opposed their marrying, because of their close relation- ship. This opposition was eventually over- come by the constancy of the prince and the princess, and the betrothal was officially announced at Brussels in the early part of. this year. One pathetic incident in connection with the wedding is the unwavering resolve of the bride's cousin, Princess Clementine, daughter of the King and Queen of the Bel- gians, to enter a convent, although she is not yet twenty-two years of age. The sud- den death of her flance, Prince Baldwin of Flanders, proved such a shock ‘to her that she forthwith determined to quit the world for the cloister, and this decision would un+ doubtedly have been acted upon when she came of age but for the urgent solicitations of her family. Out deference to their wishes she was induced to postpone the event until after the wedding of her cousin Josephine. EL ESPARTERO’S TRAGIC DEATH. The Young Matador Was Soon to Be Married. LONDON, May 28.—The Standard’s cor- respondent at Madrid sends further details of the killing of El Espartero, the matador, at yesterday’s bull fight. The bull, which was a very wild animal, had killed four horses, and he became extremely fierce when the banderilleros fixed their darts in his neck. Six thousand persons were watching the fight and the excitement was intense. The bull was almost in the center of the arena, pawing the ground and tossing his head. His eyes gleamed wickedly as El Es- partero approached him with his usual dar- ing, which brought forth plaudits from the spectators. As he got near the infuriated bull it made a rush for him and knocked him down. He was not apparently hurt, for he sprang nimbly to his feet and again attacked the animal, which had wheeled about, prepara- tory to making another charge upon his enemy. There was a moment of suspense, and then, with lowered head, the bull rushed at the matador, who agilely sprang to one side and plunged his dagger into the neck of the animal. Just as he did so the bull swung his head in the direction of El Es- partero, at the same time lifting it, One of the animal's horns caught the unfortunate matador in the abdomen and tore his body open almost up to the chest. Blood poured from the ghastly wound In a torrent as El Espartero sank fainting to the ground. He was at once carried to an Infirmary, where the doctors pronounced his injuries mortal. A priest was summoned and administered extreme unction to the dying man in the presence of many gorgeously attired bull fighters, all of whom knelt bareheaded about the couch upon which El Espartero had been placed. In five minutes the man was dead. The spectators, or at least the greater portion of them, did not propose that their pleasure should be spoiled by the death of a man who had been well paid to assist in making a holiday for them, and so the fight was continued as soon as the excite- ment had somewhat subsided. All the bulls fought well, killing fifteen horses and flooring two of the toreadors, who were severely bruised. El Espartero was engaged to be married and the wedding was to have taken place shortly, He was extremely popular, and had made a large fortune. It was his in- tention to retire from the ring next year. GRATITUDE TOWARD DE LESSEPS. The Sues Canal Company May Pen- sion the Family. LONDON, May 28.—A dispatch from Paris to the Standard says that the report of the Suez Canal Company, mentioning the fact that Ferdinand de Lesseps has been replaced by Vice President Guichard as acting president, states that the direc- tors are unanimously of the opinion that the company has a great duty to fulfill to- ward the founder of the enterprise. It is therefore proposed that the shareholders vote life annuities to the members of the de Lesseps family. It is proposed that an annuity of 60,000 francs go to the thirteen children of M. de Lesseps, and the same amount to Mme. de Lesseps during the lifetime of her husband, and 40,000 francs after his death. The 20,000 francs result- ing from this reduction of Mme. de Les- seps’ annuity will be divided among the children surviving M. de Lesseps. In case of the death ef any of the children the survivors will have their annuities increas- ed. The company’s revenue in 1898 amounted to 76,579,002 francs, and the expenses, in- including 5 per cent interest, to 36,064,455 francs, leaving a profit of about 40,000,000 franes, giving a dividend of 72 francs, which, added to the 5 per cent interest, mekes 97 francs per share.

The depart- ment will, however, request the Attorney General to instruct the United States at- torney at New York to bring the cases of your clients to trial as speedily as is con- sistent with proper preparation.” —_——+o— Thrown From Her Carriage.

Meeting of the Executive Committee This Evening and Affairs to Be CM dered. ‘The week opened at Pythian headquarters with a rush of callers and a weight of mail. The secretary and the postman told The Star_reporter that the mail was heavier to- day than on any other day since the Py- thian boom set in. All manner of ques- tions were asked, some of them pertinent and others not. A majority of the letters were postmarked Washington and contain- ed addresses at which visitors might be ac- commodated. The exact figures cannot be given, but it is believed that accommoda- tions for at least one hundred thousand strangers have already been registered, thus proving the adaptability of Washington and her power to digest an inundation of out- siders. One of the principal Pythians told The Star man this afternoon that the proposi- tion to have the citizens of Washington join hands with the order in making the ap- proaching encampment and convention the biggest in the history of Pythianism should have been done at first, but it was not the fault of the Pythians. In the early part of the campaign they had invited the prom! nent cliizens to assemble at Willard’s Ho- tel, but for various reasons the response had not been over enthusiastic. Coming, as it did, so closely upon the Grand Army en- campment and the inauguration and other great celebrations, those citizens who had borne the burden of the day felt weary and somewhat loath to engage in similar un- dertakings. Then, again, the Pythian knighthood was with the laity an unknown quantity, and it was hard to impress upon them the magnitude of the situation. The Knights of Pythies had. never been extensively advertised, and Washington was not thelr stronghold. In fact, the Pythian representation in Washington was less, per- haps, than tn any other American city of equal size, and less than it was in many | Smaller cities. The men who usually con- trol in these big enterprises, did not know anything of the power, strength and might of the organization which is to invade Washington. Hence, the number of citizens, not members of the order, who tured out at the meeting indicated was very small, nd they showed no marked fervor. The knights then took hold of the handle alone, and have pushed the preparations for the celebration so far and so well that it prom- ises to be one of the heaviest invasions of Washington by visitors in the annals of the city. The same sir knight who told The Star man this thought that, perhaps, sev- eral members of the executive committee would not favor the scheme of calling a mass meeting for the purpose of enlisting the aid and sympathies of the town, be- cause, in a measure, this had been with- held at first, but he thought that this was unsound policy, and that a majority of tne fommittee would also take this view of it. The matter will be debated at the meeting of the executive committee, which is to be held tonight at the Pythian headquarters in the Warder building. Much will depend upon the issue. The outlook gt present is that the celebration will exceed the estimate made in the youth of the campaign by the most ardent, zealous and sanguine prophet. When Mr. Notley Anderson, chairman of the committee on camp and camp grounds, Stated at one of the primary meetings that he thought probably that the attraction of Washington and Pythianism combined might induce 200,000 people to come to this city | there was'a disposition on the part of the | other committeemen either to hit him with an ink jar or investigate his sanity. But several of the committeemen now give Mr. Anderson credit for first-class guesswork. Rallroad Rates. In reference to railroad rates, there was a satisfactory interview this morning between Mr. Parke of the Pennsylvania and Mr. Percy G. Smith, secretary of the executive committee. Mr. Parke suggested that the Trunk Line Association at New York, the Central Traffic Association of Chicago, the Western Passenger Association of Chicago, the Southern Passenger Association of At- lanta and the Eastern Passenger Associa- ; Mon be communicated with at once, with a | view of having them name and publish the Pythian rates as soon as possible. Mr.Parke spoke hopefully of the prospects for a big time and felt sure that the roads would lend all the aid they could if ¢ r no other reason than self-interest. The vention and en- campment, with the c ates, would be luridly advertised throu. ut the country and the crowds would tow. Mr. Parke is to have an Interview this afternoon with Gen. John E. Smith, secretary of the trans- portation committee, and is to talk the mat- ter over this evening with Mr. G. W. Heis- ley, chairman of the same committee. Tonig! Meeting. At the meeting of the executive commit- tee which will be held tonight and which will be called to order by Mr. Richard Gcodhart, the chairman, reports will be Yeard from all the subcommittees. The question of a citizens’ mass meeting will also be discussed and finances will be talk- ed. Mr. W. T. Mockbee, chairman of the committee on horses and carriages, will re- port that the indications are thus far that they will need not less than 1,000 horses, and these figures are bound to grow. These horses have been contracted for, and will be furnished from this city. All the Sir Knights will bring their saddle cloths, and a large majority cf them will bring the saddies and bridles. In addition to the mounted divisions, the staff of Gen. Carna- han, a very large one, will also be mounted on Washington steeds. Carriages will be provided for the Grand Lodge and guests, and there is sure to be a great display in this part of the procession. One of the main things of interest to be talked about this evening will be the ques- tion of finance. Great celebrations cannot be carried on without money, and it is un- derstood that the committee wants some. Those canvassers who are now out report that the people are waking up and respond- ing in an improved way. —__—=—>—— DEPLETED TREASURY. Discouraging Outlook for the Fature a Source of Anxiety. ‘The present depleted condition of the treasury and the discouraging outlook for the future are a source of anxiety to the officials of the Treasury Department. Already the gold reserve, which had been brought up by the last bond Issue to $107,- 390,842, has been reduced by exportation since March 19 to less than $30,000,000, with no indications that the foreign demand will cease until it hes reached a much lower point. With the exception of the gold re- serve, and counting every available dollar in the vaults of the treasury, the govern- ment has less than $40,000,000 with which to meet Its obligations. Nor does the future show any signs of encouragement. On the contrary, the probable deficit of $6,000,000 for the month of May is likely to be in- creased by $15,000,000 during the two suc- ceeding months. The closest calculation that can now be made shows that the de- ficit for the fiscal year ending June 30 will be approximately $74,500,000. There re- mains but $3,000,000 of this amount yet to meet during the present fiscal year. While it is confidently believed that the receipts for July will increase somewhat, yet it is believed that the disbursements will also increase, A conservative estimate of the deficit for July is $12,000,000, thi Increase being accounted for by the pay: ment of many obligations, including about 7,500,000 in interest that matures at the beginning of the fiscal year. During June the pension payments will amount to about $10,500,000, and during July to nearly $11,- 750,000, The exact amount of receipts and expenditures for the present month and for the fiscal year to date are as follows Receipts for month to date, $20,429,888; receipts for fiscal year to date, $266,230,63 expenditures for month to date, $26,271,800; expenditures for fiscal year to date $337,- 528, lus. —_— +42 Medte: traction.

He Believes in Tariff Reform, Free Coinage and in the Abolition of the Bank Tax. ‘ The speech of Senator Patrick Walsh of Georgia in the Senate today on the tariff bill was lstened to with more than usual interest, as it was his first formal speech in that body since his recent appointment to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sen- ator Colquitt. At the outset of his speech Mr. Walsh called attention to the charges which he said had come from the republi- can side, that the south was endeavoring to destroy the industries of New England. Speaking for the people of Georgia, he was free to say that no such sentiments are cherished by them. They have no hostility, he asserted, for the people or industries of New England. When the war ended they buried their resentments in the grave with their dead. They have labored to build up their waste places. Nobly have they per- formed their task. The story of the re- sources and advances of the south is a re- markate one. He said that the south is to become the greatest manufacturing section of the United States. Hence the absurdity of the charges that the south is seeking to destroy the manufacturing industries of the country and the wages of labor in urging this tariff reform legislation. He then spoke of the material wealth and resources Georgia, presenting tabies illustrating his eme. He said that there is no race problem in Geo . The negro is treated fairly, and both the white and black races live con- tented together. He then referred to the resources of the entire south in a material way, and said that their interests were as vital as any section of the country. At this time the south asks that the democratic party should simply carry out the pledges made to the people to reform the tariff, and in connection with the tariff reform bill they champion an amendment to it which provides for a tax upon incomes. The south is not influenced by sectional or partisan motives in favoring the income tax, but because it is equitable and right. He spoke of the position of the democratic party on tariff reform, and asserted that the repub- licans opposed the passage of the Wilson bill because it would inaugurate an era of prosperity and growth in this country which would be disastrous to republican rule. He said that the Wilson bill is not all that its framers designed, but is a sub- stantial compliance with democratic pro- fessions. Income Tax ad Silver. He then defended the income tax from the charge that it was undtmocratic and sec- tional and claimed that it would distribute the burdens of taxation equally upon all classes and upon all interests. He said that while he considered tt was desirable to se- cure the remonetization of silver by inter- national agreement, still, if the oportunity offered, he would not hesitate to vote for free coinage, with, or without, international agreement, believing that ihe immense re- sources and productive energies of this country would enable our government to sustain silver on a parity with gold and compel recognition for it from the en- lightened goyernments of Europe. He fa- vored the repeal of the bank tax, permitting every state to manage its own local banks without let or hindrance on the, part of the general government. In_ closing, he referred to the stagnant condition of the business of the country, due, as he said, to the uncertainty of con- gressional legislation on the tariff. Imme- diate action, he said, is what the country needs, and what the country has a right to expect. The democratic party, he asserted, will be false to its high mission, and ne- glectful of its great opportunity, if, in addi- tion to tariff reform, it fails to carry out, by defective legislation, tts solemn pledges of firancial relief, as embodied in the demand for free silver coinage and the recommenda- tion for the repeal of the 10 per cent tax cn state banks’ circulation. He urged that the republican Senators should lift. themsel ses above party and sections and no longer ob- struct the will of the people, as embodied in the Wilson tariff reform bill. Finally, he said that the people of the south admired President Cleveland for his integrity and his ability, and honor him for that exalted patriotism which seeks the welfare of the people and the best interests of the whole coantry. ————- 2 Nature of Dreams.

Judge Hagner, Saturday afternoon, @i- rected that the will of the late Thos. W. Wise, dated July 30, 1891, be admitted to Probate. The executors, Robt. W. Hardy and J. Melville Lamb, are commanded to show cause on or before June ist next why letters testamentary should not issue to them. The action of Judge Hagner marke another step in a long legal contest in the matter. September 19, 1882, the deceased trade a will, which became inoperative, be- cavse his wife, the beneficiary under it, died before the testator. A second will was the one probated Saturday, under which the personal estate is devised to Mary E. Ellsworth, and the proceeds from a sale of the remaining estate are to be divided among Kate V. Fegan, Emma F. Byrnes, James D. Wise and Mary E. Elisworth. Another will was alleged to have been made by the deceased, February 15, 1802, just before his death. Under this alleged Will Kate V. Fegan and Bmma F. Byrnes, sisters of the testator, were the principal beneficiaries. Over it a fierce legal contest was waged. Two trials resulted. In the first it was broken, but the judgment wae set aside. Upon the second trial it was again broken. From that judgment an ap. peal has been taken to the Court of Ap
