S 2SN S THE OMAHA DAILY BEE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1890 THE LANDS OF THE PONCAS, Oommissioner Morgan Explains Why the Reservation Has Not Been Opened. INDIAN INTERESTS NEEDED PROTECTION. Congress Can Hardly Get Through Before the First of October—The Towey Bankraptey Bill — Miscellancous, 513 FOURTEENTI STREET, « Wasmizatox D, C., Sept. 8, Some time ago Senator Manderson wrote to the president inquiring if there was any good reason for failing to carry out the terms of the law which provides for the opening of the Ponca reservation in northern Nebraska to settlement and for extending jurisdiction of the state over that northern portion which was ceded to the state from the Indian rese vation under act of congress, The president sent the communication to the secretary of the interior, who in turn referred the matter 10 the commissioner of Indian atfairs, and the Iatter has replied to the secretary in a lengthy letter, giving the history of the c and his reasons for failing to comply with the law. This letter was sent to Mundersou today. The commissioner says that the Ponco allotments have already been made and the special and resident agents say that before sending schedules it must be ascertained whether Standing Bear's party clect to take theallotments on the old reservation, and t they are now on their way there with of remaining perma- nently there Soon after the Sioux act went into offect the commissioner made ar- rangements for the allotments o the Indians. These allotments were made aud every In- dian except five orsix of Standing Bear's Indians then on the reservation made selee- tions, Standing Bear and sixty-tivo of his Indians went to the Ponea reservation in the Indian territory with the idea of Temaining with their kins men there, but after a while they grew sick nding Bear came to Washing- ton with a small party to say that he had de- cided to g0 back to Nebraska, He returned to the Indian ‘Territory for the purpose of in- ducing his followers to go with him. Many of them refused to do so at first, but he now informs the Indian office that early in August he went out with sixteen of his party and that seventeen had gone before, The com- missione: ns to have considered that it was his duty to delay this settlement of the country, and he instructed the agents e llotments to all of Standing Be nd, and this was The ullotments have been made to Indian_ known to belong on the Ponca ation in Nebraska and the commis- sioner is now awaiting for them to retu and claim their allotments and then he will send the list to the secretary of the interior for approval. The term of six months al- lowed for making these allotments expired on August 10 and the only excuse the com missioner offers for failing to take the neces- sary steps to enable the president to issue the proclamation seems to be that he was very anxious that no straggler should fail to get the land to which he is entitled under the act. WHEN CONGRESS WILL ADIOUR Several eastern papers have contained pre- dictions within the past few days to the ef- fect that adjournment of cougress will _be reached by the latter part of this month, One of them today said that a conference of lead- ers had beeu held, at which it was decided that the session could be brought to a close by the 15th or 20th of September. Such a conference may have been held, but the lead- ers who lead are of the n(;inhu as oxprossed today, that adjournment is scarcely possible before October 1, and probably not until the 5th. Iu the first place, although there is a nominal ugreement to begin voting on the amendments to the tariff bill on the Sth and indulge .in six hours’ debate before taking the final vote, the democratic senators expect that the time for debate will be tendod, “In fact,” said one of them today, ““the un- derstanding was that the time should be ex- tended if necessary. The lative feat- ures of the bill haven't been touched and cannot. be under the present arrangement. The bill won’t get to ',Ln house before Sep- tember 15, in my opinion. Then there are many rough edges between the two houses to be smoothed out that will uire some days to accomplish, so that with the best that can be done I can’t see any possibility of adjourn- ment before October 1.7 THE TOWEY BANKIUPTCY DILL. Senator Hoar, chairman of the sub-com- mittee that had under consideration the Towey hankruptey bill, reported to the senate aday or two ago, said today that the bill had beem reported with & substi- tute merely for convenicnce and expedition in consideration of 1t in the senate. “The committee,” he said, “sub- mitted one section for the two on appeals in the house bill. A new section was inserted providiug for the transfer of cases from one district_court to another under very careful restrictions. The section on liens was amplified and the provision as to the payment of wages to workmen as a preference ‘was amended so that the limitation as to the amount was omitted. Wages for the six months preceding bankruptey ave to be paid in full irrespective of the amounts. There are otheramendments of more or less import- ance, but most of them are o, erbal, The Dbill is shorter, and, on the whole, is a better act than the Lowell bill, passed by the sen- ate. The subject of when the senate will consider the bill is in doubt. We will secure @ hearing as soon as possible.” A STROKE OF POLICY. By the appointment of John W.

When the speaker had the appoiutment of the committee under consideration he sent for each republ member of the committee on invalid pensions and asked him if he could serve. Messrs, and Sawyer said they could. Failing to get the third member from that commitice, Speaker Reod drew upon the commitiee on pensions and Mr. Smyser was the fiest one ‘who cousented to serve,” Congressman Cannon has ordered o large number of coples of the famous colloquy be- tweéen himself and Congressman MeAdoo last week, in which occurred the expression that caused so much unfavorable comment.

Texas ———— PROVED HE WASNT C(RAZY Trial of Lawyer Collier of Chicago for His Sanity. Cimcaco, Sept. 1.—[Special Telegram to Tie Brg]—Over 1,000 people fought for an cutrance to the little court room today in which Lawyer Frank Collier is being tri for his sanity. Collier has long been one of the most prominent atizens Chicago and is the gentleman wi Americaus of the west selected to_convey their memorial testimonial to Queen Vietoria during the quoen’s jubilee. Latterly Collior's peculiavities have been such as todivide threo-fourths of the population of Chicago into disputing factions as to his sanity, and inte est is added to the present trial by tho fact that Collier is defending his own caso against the best legal talent of the ty, Attorneys Wing and Qualey of Crouin trial fame. The principal witness against Collier's sanity today was Dr. Kiernan, the well known expert, who was an important witiess in the Guiteau case. He said he thought Collier was insane and be was sure the defendant had not five years more to live, Nothing appeared of a sensational character until Collicr asked Dr. Kiernan if he believed in & hereafter. “Your honor,”” exclaimed Kiernan, jumping to his fect and entirely losing his temper, I will not answor such an_insolent question.” A long discussion followed, which resulted in the court's ordering Dr. Kiernan to answer. I have a hope in the hcreafter—that is all.” “Did you not testifyin the Guiteau trial that you had no such belief ¢ 1 did.” “What is the object of this, Mr. Collier?” asked the court. “Iwant to show, your honor, 1 no fear of the hereafter would this man hesi- tate to swear me into an asylum. Ialso want to show that he has ideas that are extraordi- great question.” Then Coilier asked Dr. Kicrn of twenty-fiv streets wer SN “Will you swear to this?” “Yes,? ' “Did you neyer swear that the proposition I have mentioned was true ' “pdidnot.” 0 Collier proeueed the record of the Guiteau case and read the testimony of Dr. Kiernan, wherein he siid that five persons out of every twenty-five were insane. This pro- duced a great sensation, “Is that truet” asked Collier. “It isnot.” | * “Why did you take the stand then and tes- tify that it was—hecause you wanted to aid in proving that (Iuiteau was insane “I was rattled.” Collier said, when asked by the court, that hehad two objects in asking these questions —one was to shoy thas Dr. Kiernan was a crank on insunity nd that his expert testi- mony was diffqrent at different times, The C. W, Beck matter was then taken up and Dr.Kiecnau bevame excited. Beckwas the reporter who was pronounced hopelessly in- sane and confined in the insane asylum at Jefterson for ten days or more, the object of Mr. Beck being to investigate the manage- ment of thé asylum, which he did, discov- cring great abuses, Beck wrote them up in such a way as to secure a_complete reform in the management of the Cook county asylum. “You pronounced Beck insane, did you, doctor?” asked Collier. WY os," “Do you know that he is now the city ed- itor of i Chicago paper?” WL o ““And yet you hold that he is insane?” “Well, I think Mr. Beckis in that condi- tion hovering between the criminal and the lunatic, suid the doctor bitterly. “Dr. Kiernan,” said Collier “quietly, *you are exhibiting the very symptoms you are charging against me.” Dr. Kiernan got more restless and kept whirling his_chair round and round, but do what he would Collier could not get Turther satisfaction out of the expert ou this subject. The doctor said that a failing memory was. a symptom of Collier’s malady; that a for- getfulness of recent cvents wis a certain sign of the trouble. Collier then related the most minute details of his life during the past two yearsand altogether his. victory over the well known expert was such that the court found it al- most impossible to suppress the frequent bursts of applause that greeted Collier's fre- quent sallies, through 1 if one out persons who daily walk the uot. insane.

Thejudges in the various classes went o work and at noon had awarded a number of promiums, which of course afforded a great deal of satisfaction to the lncky ones, The baby show attracted only half a dozen entries and a great deal of the interest which would have been displayed in the matter was dostroyed by the rain which commenced to fall about the time the award was to be made, The prize was 25 and a gold necklace.
