A parliamentary paper has been circulat- ed amorg the members of the reichstag with peference to an item of 300,000 marks (£15,000) which will appear in the estimates in support of a German deep-sea expedi- tion. This document passes in review the successful efforts made by other maritime nations in this direction, and notably by Great Britain, with the remarkable Chal- lenger expedition, the results of which fill forty-two stout volumes, Germany, it is pointed out, only European ‘nation with any ns to maritime power which has taken litle or no part in re- vealing the secrets of the deep seas, and it behooves her now to make amends for her past negligence, especially when the ‘work to be done is still so vast and so varied. Accordingly, it is proposed that a suitable steamer shall be chartered and leave @er- many next August. Her course. would be first between the north of Scotland and ihe Shetland Islands, and then south to the Canaries and Cape Verde, along the west African coast to the care and to the cur- rents of the artarcttc. “Special investiga- tions will be mage. in that region where the cold curre™its of the antarctic and the warm {rdian currents meet. The ex- pedition will then cruise through the In- dian ocean and the Red sea, reaching horae after an absence which is estimated ‘at_nine months. The kaiser takes the gréatest interest in this undertaking, and hopes to see its leaders before they leave on their interesting voyage. << THE SENECA ‘NATION | Beprosentative-Johm Here in the In-' Bens “ it aa = Ancient Documents: Treasured as Relics by Mr. dohn. PARCHMENTS 100 YEARS OLD Mr. Andrew John, jr., 2 member of the Seneva Indian nation of the state of Newt’ York, fs in the city, stopping at 224 3d street. Mr. John, who is a full-blooded In- dian, is here in the interest of a biH: to regulate the collection and the apportion- ment of money arising from the lease of lands of the reservations of his people in New York. There are three of these reser- vations, the Cattaragus, the Allegheny and Oll Spring. The first-named reservation es ‘principally in Erie county, N. ¥. The, Allegheny reservation borders on the line of Pennsylvania. it runs easterly along the Allegheny river on: beth banks for about forty miles: Altogether there are about 53,000 acres in these peservations. The bill to further which Mr. John was sent by his people to Washington has been introduced by Senator Quay in the Senate and also by Representative C. W. Stone of Pennsylvania in the House. It has been read twice and referred to the committee on Indian affairs. Mr. John says that un- der the present act adopted in 1875 and again in 1890, the council of the Seneca nation has been given too much liberty in the matter of apportionment of the money arising from the lands which are leased and rented to white persons who occupy them. The bill which is under considera- tion provides for the payment pro rata of all moneys which may be received from the rentals to the heads of the different families of the Seneca nation, after $1,500 has been set aside for the maintenance of the affairs of the nation. The money is to be expended in the same manner and un- der the same conditions as the annuities now paid to the Seneca nation by the United States are distributed. The money shall be paid the United States Indian agent for the New York Indian agency in the name of the Seneca nation and dis- tributed by him. Irregularity Complained Of. “Many of the heads of the families,” Mr. John said, “‘are complaining about not re- ceiving part of the money. Some receive funds in the shape of orders for road work, ete., while others get none at all, and it is this seeming partiality which has led to the necessity of framing a new bill. There has been a great waste of the money, too, as the sum of $1,500 is deemed all that is necessary for carrying on the government and defraying all other expenses. As it now is, the president of the nation, who is elected annually, togetter ‘with three men from each of the reserxatigns, forming the council, have the distributfon of the funds, and this has led to extravagance.” Mr. John says he has ban president of the nation four times.crWhile the expenses have been $2,000 or 1$3,009 annually, the time before his last term ax, much as $10,000 as given away in thé form of orders of rious kinds to the INdiana, but not equal- He had cut dowaf this just one-half when he went out- of bffice the following year. He states that ttherei has been great mismanagement of themation's affairs and that something had to be done to stop this. The Seneca nation ‘atthe present time numbers altogether aboat 92.400 souls. in this number are over 600 voters, men who have attained the ageof twenty-one years. The Seneca nation, tt id stated, is the only one which has a ‘constitational form of government, this: havévg been adopied in 1837. The presidént aa cdimer have éntii charge of ‘the civil affairs of the: nation, criminal offenses being. decided: in United Staies courts. There a¥# three men ap- pointed from each of the reservations, call- ed peavemukers, who settle disputes among the Tudians. Most of them are farmers, some are mechanics. They have their own schools and churches. The latter are of three denominations—Presbyterian, Bap- tist and Methodist. There are court houses on the reservation, in which the councils meet to decide the civil cases. : Mr. Jobn was educated at the Free Academy, Corning, N. Y.; State Normal School, Tioga, Pa., and Allegany College, Meadville, Pa. He {s a most intelligent man, and is well versed in general affairs. He is a prosperous farmer. Two Valued Documents. Mr. John showed the reporter two re- markable relics, attesting to the great- ness of his nation. These were obtained from the heirs of the famous Seneca chief, Cornstalk, The first is the original call for a meeting at which a treaty was to be signed, and which was afterward sign- ed, between the United States and the Six Nations, of which the Seneca was at the head. This is on a piece of parch- ment, about two feet square, signed by the Secretary of War under President Wash- ington. It is most legible, the ink being Dlack, and the writing is almost equal to copper plate engraving. It has been re- arkably well preserved, and can be read almost as well, with the exception of where the writing is worn in one place, as when it was executed. The parchment is low with age and creased, but is a most valuable possession. It reads ?s. follows: “To the sachems, chiefs the Six Nations. Brothers: “A copy of your proceedings at Buffalo Creek on the Sth day of October last hath been received by Gen. Chapin, These pr ceedings contained the sentiments of eral chiefs of the various tribes who were assembled at the great couneil ‘fire which as kindled at the*rapids of the Mfami the last summer. And in addition to this infor- mation you edd, in your meeting of the eth of the same mouth, your destres of thi boundary, which, you say, will be furt! explained by Gen, Chapin. All these cgn- munications have been submitted to your father, Gen. Washington, the President of the United States, who desires the Six Na- ticns to receive his sincere and hearty thanks for their assurances and acts of friendship to the United States. While your father, the President, has observed with great pleasure the pains you have taken to effcct @ peace between the United States and the hostile Indians, he is, at the same time, very sorry that any circum- stances should have prevented the accom- plishment of the measure affecting the happiness of both parties.
