W 23. There s a has served thirty years sentatives, but there seems likely to be an exception to the rule. At the beginning of the Fifty-third congress Willlam £. Holm of Indiana and Charles O'Neill of Pennsyl- vania had served twenty-cight years each, and both of them were inclined to believe that they might live to complete the term of continuo ervice which the supersti- tious have always regarded as the line of age in statesmanship in this country. Mr. O'Neill was always temperate and care ful of his physical condition, but he fell before the relentless decree of time, while Mr. Holman, who is careless of his health and not wholly temperate in his manner of living, has lived through th long term of congress, has vigorously engaged in a political campaign, has suftered de old age, and still appears to b capable of fu:ther service, It | that he will live unt he will have complete fce in the no man of repre- as strong and quite likely March 4 next, when thirty years of sery- house of representatives; and he ! lem which will give those in charge of civil- anger | in his | colonies ve with t of the Danish government, NEBRASKA INDIANS STAGNATED, that the Tribes no Progross. , Nov. 23, —James Clements, the Santee agency in Ne- presents a phase of the Indian prob- Agents Compl Makl WASHINGTO Indian agent at braska Are izing the Indians some concern, as civiliza- tion clusters about the Indlans either on the | reservations or after they have taken their lands in severalty, He sa “Having spent nearly six years in the service on Roscbud agency, where the Indians maintain their tribal reiations, previous to taking charge here, I had come to the conclusion | that these Indians were casily managed; but | on assuming duty here, where they have be- me citizens, 1 have changed my mind and | found them more dificult to manage than 1 expected. Agency control and rules con filct with state laws and citizenship. W | are under county organization and the Indian is told he is a citizen and has all the rights of a citizen. He pays taxes on his personal | property, still the county objects to paying | the costs on Indian mis anor cases. And | the agent has no power to punish except to discriminate against him in issues. “But the most trouble arises from intoxi- cation. The Indians have but little trouble to get what they want. The Indian loves | liquor and will #ell anything to get it. In some of the neighboring towns they rather encourage than discourage this traffic. The | complaint then comes that the agent is not doing his duty by allowing these Indians to get drunk, but they do not tiy to stop the man who sells it to them. In this the state | laws of raska conflict with the federal | | 0 the agent is powerless. . | “From what I see and learn from responsi ble parties there has not been much advance- ment made in general in the past few years, | morally, financially or otherwis Mr. Clements also makes a suggestion as | to Indian payments: “‘Although I am but a short time in charge here yet 1 believe I can safely say that it would ba to the in- might have had health and strength to go beyond that taboosd limit if he had been el for another term. The late Wiiliam D, Keily of Pennsylvania was, like Mr. O'Nefll, beginning a term which would have resulted in thirty years of continuous service but he died before the completion of that term. There are statesmen who have served more than thirty years in both houses of con- gress; but the thirty-year limit is applied only to the house of representative: Sena- tor Morrill of Vermont, has served con- tinuously for fo:ty years, but the longer time of that service has been in the senate. Senator Harris of Tennessee first came to congress forty-four ars ag but he seceded from the union and remained away from Washington for nearly half a dozen years; but he came back and holds what may be termed the championship title for 1:ngth of service in statecraft. He is the onl: viving member of the Thirty-first now in public life. There will be old timers left in the next house of re sentatives, The patriarchs cling to the ate, and every representative who desires to remain in congress tries to break into the senate if there is any show for him. SOME OF THE ACTIVE OLD TIMERS. The senators who have been longest in ac tive service in that body are John Sherman, Ohlo, thirty years; Justin 8. Morrill of Ver. mont, twenty-elght years; Matt W. Ransom of North Carolina, twenty-throe ars; Wil- liam B. Allison of Towa and John P. Jones of Nevada, twenty-two years each; Francis M Cockrell of Missouri, twenty years; Isham G. Harrls of Tennessee and Danlel W. Voor- hees of Indiana, eighteen years each. These gentlemen are apparently as strong and well as they were when they first came to the senats, with the exception of Senator Mor vill, who manifestly feels the welght of his four-score and four years. Senator She:- man is in his 72d year and appears to be as strong and wiry and vigorous as he has ever been. He announces, however, that he will never again seek the presidential nomi- nation of his party because of his age Senator Allison does mot appear to be more than 45 years of age, for he is as sturdy and agile as ever before in his life, and yet he states in the Congressional Director he was born in 1820, and is therefore 65 years of age. He is a man of powerful physique, bullt to last almost another gencration, un- less a cold or pnewmonia should suddenly assall him, as stocky men are so often taken when they least expect it. Senator Harrls i one of those bony, muscular men who show no signs of age, save in the color of thelr hair, and Senator Harris long since parted company with all of his hair, except a moustach which is grizzly gray and flerce as an army with banners. Senator Sherman had been longest in continnous serv- fee In the senate, but Senator Morrill s twelve years in the house while Se Sherman only served six s in the branch of congress, and consequently Sena- tor Morrill is the patriarch of congress Mr. Holman says that he is the last of i generation in the house of representatives and that the next congress will mark an absolutely new era in our country, because the house of representatives and scnafe will be composed principally of representatives and senators chosen by a generation of men who were born during and since the civil war. ator lower DELAYS OF E LAW. Suit Started in 'Soventy-Seven Now Being Argued in the Supreme Court. WASHINGTON, Nov. erest in a case which has been somewhat famous in its day and which has had an exceptionally long career in the courts was revived in the supreme court of the United States by its argument. It is the case of George A. Cun- ningham and John Branch vs thie Macon and Brunswick Railroad company. — Ex-Governor Chamberlain -of South Carolina and Mr. Charles West and John Howard appeare for the appellants and ex-Governor Hoadley of Ohlo for the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgla Railroad company, which is the vir- tual defendant and appelie. Cunningham and Branch, who were the owners of bonds in the Macon & Brunswick railroad, began their suit as far back as 1877. These bonds were endorsed by the state and accordingly belng unable to sue, the state officers b: me parties (o the sult. The United States circuit court for the southern district of Georgla sustained a demurrer that the suit agafnst the late officers was virtually a suit against the state itself. , Upon appeal to the supreme court this decision was sus tained and the case was dismissed as to the state and its officers. The case against the railroad company has gon> the rounds of lower courts and come back to the suprem court on an appeal from a second decision of the south ia circuit court, dis missing the bill of Cunningham and Branch In the meantime the Macon & Brunswick company had gone out of existence, through foreclosure, and the Tennessee, Vir- ginla & Georgla company s now the de- fendant. BRAZIL'S REBELS PARDONED, General Amnesty Grantod by the New » ident to Revolutionists, WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—Senor Mendoncs the Brazilian minister, has not yet been offi- clally notified of the decr to political prisoners granted president, Moraes. of course, to apply to the cas:s of the partici- pants in the recent revolut'on, he says. “An amuesty Is in efect a pardon,” said the ainister. It s the most lenient action aken by civilized nations whose citizens have rebelled. It fs all that the officers would ask and more than they had a right 10 expect. No doubt the officers who have exiled themselves from Brazil since the revo- Jution would be glad to accept the pardon and return. “Most of the naval officers who took part in the revolution fled from the country when thelr movement collapsed. Charges were pre- ferred agalnst the others and they were tried by naval court-martial. A few were ac quitted, others were sentenced to confinement in fortresses. These last will doubtiess be re leased under the amnesty.” Minister Mendonea says that the decree gives evidence of the stability of the govern- ment and shows that it has no fears the re- bellious movement is still alive or & menacing force, Forbid Navigation on the Greenland Coas!

They antagonize the form of marriage under the state law; they require the younger people to return to the Indian mode of dress, even after they have been away from the reservation to school They object, in the ority of cases, to any but “medicine men” of the tribe attending the sick or injured NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN Duly Signed at Washington and Now Only Awnits Ratiticatio WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—Secretary of | State Gresham, in behalf of the United States, and Minister Kurino of Japan, in behalf of his country, have affixed their signatures to a new treaty of amity and commerce between this country and Japan. The final formalities in the execution of the. instrument occurred at the State department late yesterday after- noon after the close of office hours. When the last formalities were closed yesterday the State department bulldinig was deserted, ex- cept the private offices of the seeretary of state, where the interesting ceremony was transacted. Secretary Gresham will now transmit the new treaty to the United States senate as s00n as it convenes and Mr. Kurino will for- ward it to the Japanese forelgn office to be approved by the emperor of Japan and the privy council. Coming at the present time, the signing of the treaty is considered of much significance beyond iis actual terms, as it establishes the cordiality between the countries when foreign powers are endeavoring to show that Japan's cction of the peace meditation was a nub’’ to the United States. | To Japan the signatures are of supreme | importance, as the country estimates its new | series of treaties as quite as important as the “ war it is now conducting. When the Japan- ese minister at London recently concluded the new treaty with Great Britain the em- | peror of Japan at once decorated him with | the highest orders of the empire and ad- | vanced him to the nobility. The signing of the treaty concludes a Jabor which has been in progress for fifteen years, through the administr:tio s of sever 1Ja ) nese mird t rs, and it was with a specal view to closing the long negotiation that Mr. Kurino %as taken from an_important post in the Japansse foreign office and sent to Washington. The event will also cause much comment in Great Britain, France, Switzerland and other foreign countries, as the action of the United States affects similar treaties abroad. That with Great Britain is closed and th with France and Switzerland ere largely de pendent upon the closing of the Arerican tations. The chicf feature of the new treaty Is in its recognition of Jap s a civilized country. Previcus treaties have assumed the native courts were so primitive and punishments so brutal that it would not be safe to trust British, American and other foreign ecitizens to their jurisdiction. The new treaty now recognizes the panese courts and does away with the offensive foreign courts, But in| order that time may be given for the | Japanese judicial system to be further per- | fected, the date when they ume their | new functions is postponed for five years, viz. Ul January 1, 1899 | The same provision is Great Brita and in th » about to be con cluded with France, Switzerland and other | countries, so the full recognition of Japan's civilization will be ushered in with th twentieth century The restr m of | Japanese immigration to this country is also | an important feature of the new treat Japan has readily assented to this, because, she clain her citizens are not d ”U, of emigrating in large numbers to America | |and also because a Japanese law prohibits | | them from emigrating contrary to the Ameri- | can contract labor law. | The trade features of the treaty are said to | med with a view to developing, the e of both countries, In previous Japan has been restricted to 5 per t ad valorem of American imports and the actual collec ns at the customs houses have | been about § per cent ad valorem. The exact terms of the new arrangements are not known The treaty also gives Americans greater property rights in Japan, allowing | them the privilege not heretofore granted | of leasing lands in the interior of Japan as| | well as at the treaty ports and allowing all property rights except the right to own land | in fee simple. with | in the treaty Asked for Fortificatio WASHINGTON, . 23.—General Casey, chief of engineers of the War department, | was before the subcommittee on fortific tions of the house committee on appropri- ations today. He made a strong plea for | liberal provisions for the protection of tne coast and especially recommended the pur- Chase of additional fortification sites near | several of the larger cities on the Atlantic | and it consts. He represented that many | of the sites which had been purchased in | the past, while adequate at the time, had become practically valueless because of the modern improvements in guns. He urged | the committee to adopt the plan of getting a8 many good sites contiguous to the lare | Cities as possible and urged that they be selected well out to sew.

OXNARD AFTER THE BOUNTY Brings Suit in the Court of Olaims for | Sugar Manufactured in 1804, CtAIM THE M'KIYLEY B.LL WAS A CONTRACT Cases Already Filed Aggregate a Little Over Eighteen Thousand Dollars—Both the Nebraska Factorles Plaintiffs in Common with One in California. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The controversy between the sugar growers of the country and the United States government, growing out of the repeal of the bill granting a bounty of 1% a cent pound on all sugars grown in the United States and territories by the new tarift bill, and the subsequent refusal of the Treas- ury department bounties upon the sugar grown in the present year, reached the | first stage in progress to definite legal settle- ment today. J. Archibald Murray, an attor- ney of New York, filed today in the court of claims three suits identical in character and all sceking to recover from the government sums of money alleged to be legally due the complainants as bounty upon sugar raised by them in the year 1804, The Chino Val ley Beet Sugar company of California for $4,131; the Norfolk Beet Sugar compa of New Jersey for $3,093, and the Oxnard Beet Sugar company for $11,782. The com- plaints are based upon the allegation that the United States, by the act of congress grant- ing a bounty of ¥ cent a pound upon all sugar grown in the United States and terri- torie entered Into a legal contract with the complainants, as well as all other sugar grow- ere, and led them by its terms to undertake the culture of beels and other plants from which sugar is obtained, but which eould not have been profitably pursued without the ben- cfits of such a contract. The claim Is further made that the crops of the complainants were growing and the sugar resulting from them was in process of making long before the passage by congress of the measure repeal ing the provisions of the act granting thc bounty, and that the government has no right to withhold the payment of the bounties al leged to be due. The case will probably be pushed to an early hearing in the court of claims and will then be taken to the United States court for final adjustment. It is un- derstood the suits are brought as test d will be vigorously contested, amount of $11,000,000 is at stake In the con- troversy. to sues WORK ON PENSION APPEMLS. Large Amount of Business During the Year. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The work of the board of pension appeals during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, and from that date to November 1, 1894, Is fully reviewed in the report made by Assistant Sccretary of the Interior John M. Reynolds to Secretary Smith. In summarizing his administration of the office Mr. Reynolds says: “Upon taking chargo of the office of assistant sccretary in April, 1893, I found 4,965 appeals pending on the docket, with the work of the board of appeals more than two years behind. In cighteen and one-half months, with 5847 additional appeals entered during that period, the current appeals are being decided and tardy justice no longer follows an appeal to this department by any deserving soldier, widow or orphan. Thus 10,000 cases have been considered on appeal and finally ruled upon, a greater number than was ever before disposed of in the same length of time and more than double the number considered in any like period under my predecessors He recommends the following: First, that section 4,178 of the Revised Statutes be amended so as to extend the provisions re- lative to the payment of accrued pensions for reimbursement to the cases of widows and dependent relatives of the soldier. Second, to apply to the provisions of law relative to widow pensioners who neglect to provide for the minor children of the soldier, to the soldier himself who unlawfully abandons his family and neglects to provide | for them. Third, to amend section 3, act June 1890, so as to clearly define the title pensions to the minor children of the soldier where he does not leave a widow surviving him. Fourth, Disposed of the enactment of provisions of law whicn will make proof of marriage in the prosecution of pension claims of universal application throughout the United States, R ¥ PENSION BILL. 5D UPON THE Avppropriation missio WASHING Committee Accepts er Lochren's Figures. 'ON, Nov. 23.—The subcom- | mittee of the house committee on pensions met today, and after listening for an hour to Commissioner Lochren’s explanation of the requirements of his office virtually decided to report a bill providing for appropria- tions recommended by the commissioner in his estimate heretofore furnished, except in the one item of fees for examining surgeons. The original estimate was that $1,000,000 would be required to pay these fees, but Mr. Lochren told the committee today he thought $800,000 would be sufficient and that figure was decided upon. The pension ap- propriations as decided upon by the subcom mittee will therefore be, Kor pensions, ; for surgeons fees, $800,000; for on agencies, $450,000; mis- $141,381,670.
