The report recently made by Special In- dian Agent Pray into the charges of mis- appropriation of funds derived from leases by the. Seneca Indians of northern New York shows a peculiar condition of affairs. The Senecas live on the Cattaraugus, Al- legheny and Oil Spring reservation in New York, with a government consisting of a legislative council, an executive and a judicial power vested in a peacemaker's court having general jurisdicfion over con- troversies between the Indians. The coun- cil has power to lease lands for agricultural purposes to the towns on the reservations. Mr. Pray says that after carefully inves. tigating the books of the clerk of the na- tion he is inclined to corroborate the report of an agent, who, in August last, expressed the opinion that the funds of the nation are improvidently expended, that they are ab- sorbed to a large extent by the officers, who have been known to connive with white men to discount certain orders for the payee when the treasurer Had the funds to pay the same in full. ‘fhe body of the Indians, Agent Pray “yepor{s, have not re- ceived from its officers. assingle dollar of income from the leases Guring the past four or five years. Certain extracts from the acts of the council ate given which Agent Pray says show that between April 24 and June 5, 18vi,that, body absolutely voted to themselves ‘and the executive offi- cers $3,150 of the people's money, and there is nothing on file or o to show serv- ices rendered, and ng prétense of a voucher. There is a great degj of gomplaint among the people as to the, peacemaker’s court, and the general opinion seems to be that the members are impractical and arbitrary, and rule without justice er form of law. ‘Their powers should be diminished and the right of appeal to the state courts should be given. i The agent expresses: the pinion that the nation’s affairs are very Idosely and irreg- ularly managed; that the officials use the power of their places for the purpose of perpetuating themselves in office, and it is openly charged that the money of the na- tion is used for the same purpose. The responsibility for existing conditions, the agent thinks, is very largely with and upon the president, treasurer and clerk, who are denominated the executive officials. When it is noted that more than one-half of all the funds received by the council have been voted either to themselves or to the execu- tive officers the agent says he is not sur- prised that the Indian people complain. Mr. Pray believes there should be a thor- ough overhauling and investigation of the records, which he was not able to do with the Hmited time and' facilities at his dis~ posal, and it is probable Congress will be asked to make a ‘special appropriation whereby this may be done. THE CARTER -TRIAL Record of the Court-Martial Largest Ever Made. THE END NOt IN SIGHT Savannah's Snowless Weather Dur- ing the Winter. A WEEK OF FIRES Special Correspondence of The Fvening Star. SAVANNAH, Ga., February 8, 1898. The Carter court-martial entzred its fourth week today and the end is by no means in sight, Inde2d, according to the statements of the offieers who are in charge of the prosacution, they-are just getting into the case. The record is al- ready larger than ‘that made by any other court-martial in the history of the govern- ment, the Fitz-John Porter case of war times, which was the largest until now, having been eclipsed early last week. There are over twelve hundred pages of evidence alrsady in existence, which does not in- clude over one hundred exhibits -of docu- mentary evidence, some of them ten and twelve pages In length. There will b> probably five hundred pages added to the record this week. When the prosecution ends th> defense, with tts corps of six lawyers and a number of engineer and other experts, will have an inning, and there is hardly any calculation that can be made now as to how much they will ex- tend the record. Big Sum Involved. There is nearly four million dollars in- volved in the expenditures in this engineer district, in the way of river and harbor improvements, much of which, it is con- tended, has been lavishly, and, in some cvses, corruptly expended. One of the con- tracts amounts alone to $3,500,000. Capt. Carter is being tried for being a party to a conspiracy in connection with this expen- diture. The magnitude of the amount, in- volving, as it does, expenditures running along for the past eight years, and the Im- portance of the interests affected, is the excuse for the great record as far as length is concerned which has already been made and which will be added to very extensively. The court, which consists of thirteen members, stands the siege very well so far, and it is a matter of congratu- lation among its members that notwith- standing th> numerical size of the court, none of ite membrs“have missed a minute of its sessions. Though the case is a very important one, as may be imagined, the press reports which are sent out about it are, from reasons interest2d or otherwise, very meager and misleading in many par- ticulars. At present the case is in such a condition that any opinion as to the out- come would be entirely guess work, for tho pros2cution has, to a great extent, it is understood, only been laying a founda- tion for more farreaching and sensational developments, which are to follow in prop- er order. The interest in the case grows with each day’s d>velopments, and it is the uppermost stidject of discussion throughout this section of the country, where all the parties to it are well known. Straw Bonds. ‘The testimory today was of a rather sur- prising character, a number of witnesses testifying that though they were accepted by Capt. Carter as bondsmen or guarantors on bids, for sums running all the way from 310,000 to $75,000 on each bond, they were, . in fact, worth but little and signed the bonds in biank without any question, the amounts being afterward put in the bonds by the contractors in such sums as suited them regar« s Of the responsibility of the igners. It was also di ped that, though is were afterwe be- iin the presence of not re were no persons ned. Ther adduced that Captain Carter the worthlessness of the bonds he having accepied the bond of the keeper of a small grocer re, who has a stock of about $50), for $75,000. It also came out that one firm of contractors has had ail ihe contracts in this engineering distric for the past ten years, with one single ception, though to make it appear that there was real competition the contractors obtained contracts in the names of their employes and various relatives, one case coming out where a day laborer received a $300,000 contract. A Week of Fires. During the past week, however, Savan- had another subject under discus- the number of fires which have occurred in the city. The firemen are nearly pla. . a8 they had on an aver- age three last week to con- Among a $200,000 fire on the river front, and the burning of the Catholic thedral, an hour later, at the other end of the city, involving a ss of $250,000 or more. There are certain suspicious cireum- stances connected with each of the fires of last week, and though so far there has been nothing definite to a theory of i diarism, there i: -grounded im- s of incendiaries. Should the guilty ted, or even suspected, there is no doubt but that it will go hard with them. When the Weather ix Cold. There three days of winter weather here last week, and though ice formed on the ponds in the parks but one morning. it was cold enough the rest of the cold spell fer overccats and . which, by the way, are seldom ne hereabouts. When it is cold in Savannah, however, it is felt much more than even colder weather is in not tions. for the reason that nine-tenths of the houses are without any arrangement for heating. It is true they have a fire in kite and dn rooms, but the e content with th Stringely enough, tor ; heating facilit the heating the never had any, they do not look for it. Movable Stoves. Now and then scme people, in anticipation of cold wexther, have an oil or gas stove, which can be moved about to the bed and bath rooms, but this is even rarer than would be supposed. The fact is there have been but five nights this winter when extra heat was needed, and not over five more nights are expected when the same condi- tion of this will prevail. When we read of the thermometer on Friday last being be- low 30 in Washington the sun was so hot here in the afternoon that many sought the shady side of the streets for comfort. It was actually warm during the middle of the day and afternoon yesterday, and the parks were as usual crowded with babies, children and nursés. The weather bureau man predicted snow for one day last week, but somehow the snow got sidetracked. Anyhow, there were no signs of it here ex- cept reports in the néwspapers which came from the north. There have been but two heavy snow storms here in sixty years. One of these was nearly twenty years ago, and it was such a novelty that business was suspended and the public schools closed ‘for the day, so that all could enjoy it. Many children, and grown up people, too, know nothing about a sled or sleigh, ex- cept what they have learned from being told or by books and newspapers. Neither have they ever seen ice thick enough to slide or skate on. Even if the ice accident- ally formed thick enough to bear the weight of a person, there could be no skat- ing, for the reason that skates are not owned by any one in this section. I find that many belonging to the variots milital organizations of this city and throughout the south are enthusiastically in favor of Senator Hoar’s amendment fix- ing»April 30 for inauguration day instead of March 4. They, like many others who have visited Washington and participated in the inaugural parade, have only un- pleasant recollections of it as far as the weather is concerned. They think that the attendance from the south will be in- greasy five times or more by the change of ate. It is very rare . n even es that there is any way of rd rooms, and as the people Cradle of Methodism. Savannah ts the cradle of Methodism, and is proud of it, for it was here that Joho Wesley first established a Methodist church in America. He preached here for the sev- eral years he was in this country, and, though the original church is not standing, there is a Methodist church on the original site, and sume of its furniture, pictures, etc., were used in the original church. It is not generally known, except by those who are well informed on church matters, but it is a fact that John Wesley was an Episcopal minister, and though he founded the Methodist Church@he never left the Episcopal Church. My authority for the above statement is a leading Methodist di- vine, who is now and has been engaged for several’ years investigatg the various matters looking to a union of the Methodist churches of the north and south. He also informs me that in his judgment the union is no nearer a fact than it was ten years ago, and that neither branch has evinced much real enthusiasm on the subject dur- ing the past five years. Contrary to what he expected to find, he says the movement seems to have lost ground during the last two years, and the prospects are far from being encouraging. He says the difficulty is not with the members of the churches south or north, who as a rule favor union, but with the various busimess and book concerns connected with the branches. These, he says, cannot find how they can satisfactorily combine their financial in- terests, and that anything like the union which existed before the war of the re- bellion, for ten years more, at. least, ap- pears io be out of the question. Children’s Parks. Savannah has some things that can be copied by many other cities, and that is parke where there is absolutely no inter- ference with children. There are no “keep off the grass” signs in ary of them. They do not look any the worse it, either. There are more growing flowers, beautiful japontess and the like to be seen In For- Park nere than in all the parks Washington combined, including the Gardens. At the same time y 2 of the pla “rt, upon ever intrude, Arcther intere: ing up crumbs of bread, crackers and cak thrown t> them.

In’ the extension of For- syth Park there is a parade ground, cov; ing double the amount of the space Lafayeiie Park in Washington, and maybe more. This is a play ground in real earn- est, Bicycles, goa: and pony wagons are to be seen there in all shapes and styles, besides baby carriages by the hundreds. Though the kite-flying season docs not open up for a couple of weeks yet, when 200 or more boys fly their kites each after- n and on Saturday there were nearly a hundred boys to be seen there every after- noon for the pasi two weeks. The kites are of all shapes, from the new-fangled box kites to the old-fashioned bow, the three- stick and diamond kites. A pretty good eze generally prevails and the bi cing often more lookers- on than those flying kit — GOLD DEPOSITS ALASKA. They Are Cinimed to Rival Those in the Northwest Territor E. Hazard Wells, who brought Capt. Ray's report from Alaska, says in his re- port, among other things phere are undoubtedly large deposits of gold in Alaska, rivaling those of the British Northwest Territory. I noticed ex- cellent mineral indications upon the Ta- nana river and in other localities in 1590, I discovered a true fissure vein of quartz ht feet in diameter, with well-defined casing rocks, upon the upper Tanana. This quartz evidently contained metal. Speci- mens which I secured to take out to San Francisco for assay were subsequently lost in a river catastrophe. Numerous creeks entering the Upper Tanana re- vealed colors of gold in the sands. All of the gold-bearing streams of Alaska so far discovered, viz., Birch creek. Miller creek. Forty Mile cregk, Sixty Mile creek and Seventy Mile creek, head in the vicinity ot the Tanana river and flow away to the de northeast. On the southwestern heading near the Tanana are the no Copper and Sushi rivers, the latter being the gold-be & stream which re- cently came into prominence through the acer discoveries on Cook's Inlet. The Copper river is popularly supposed to be ted in the heart of a mineral belt. it reasonable dedu at if all of t: ms flowing aw: from the Tanan: to the northeast and southwest bear gold the Tanana itself must cut through a gold-bearing country. This opinion is shared by nearly all of the old-time miners now located in Dawson. Recently excel- lent prospects were discovered up an American creek, a tribu ‘y of the Yukon, in Alaska just below Forty Mile creek, Miller Cree Birch creek and other Streams within the boundaries of Alaska in the Yukon valley still offer inducements to placer miners. I do not believe that any better mining region will be discovered in Alaska than will be found in the great Tanana valley. ther Mr. Wells says: ‘o the westward of the Tanana rise gigantic chains of mountains, which will make prospecting toward the Kuskokim and Sushitna rivers extremely difficult. From a good point of vantage upon a high mountain near the head of Copper river J obtained a bird's-eye view of the country to the westward and beheld Titanic masses F ys have} of rock upheaved in much the saine ion as the Andes in South America. range of very A all mountains parallels the Tanana on its westward side, joining at an acute angle with the high Alaskan nge Which sweeps across from the Ta- nana near Robertson river to the mouth of the Sushitna and beyond. To the west- ward of this V-shaped arrangement of the mountains lies the vast unexplored terri- of the Kuskokwim. I have descended the Kuskokwim 800 miles to the seacoast and found it a broad, deep and somewhat sluggish stream flowing in frem the un- known east. Indian reports state that the Kuskokwim heads within three days’ over- land march of the lower Tanana. A pass is reported to exist_by which it can be reached from the Tanana. My observa- tions on the lower Kuskokwim do not in- duce the belief that it flows out from a xold-bearing region, but it is possible, nevertheless, as its sluggish waters would hardly carry colors very far down stream.” ———_ +. Trinugular Post Office Fight. The first assistanst postmaster general left Washington yesterday to make an in- vestigation of the triangular fight over the location of the post office at Winsted, Conn. Chief Beavers of the galary and allowance division of the Post Office Department will assist him. There is a postmaster at Win- sted and West Winsted, both government officials. There is another post office in the place maintained by the citizens at their own expense. If consolidation of all the offices was made, the place would be entitled to free delivery. Some of the citi- zens want the consolidation and free de- livery established, while others prefer to have existing conditions continue. ‘onnecticut delegation in Congress declines to make any recommendations on the sub- ject.
