PUYALLUP AFFAIR

the
THE INDIAN BUREAU IS FIRM
Ii la Said That It. Officer. Want the
Contract. Made With the Indian.
Billed Out a. Invalid The Comml.-
alon Doing Good Work.
Wabiiinoton, October 1. Notwitli
standing the hard light made by Repre
sentative Doolittle and other members
of the Washington delegation, the prob
abilities are that there will be no settle
ment of the Puyallup Indian reserva
tion muddle and sale of the lands except
in the manner which is now being em
ployed. The great fight which has been
made to have something done which will
give the men who made contracts with
the Indians an opportunity to test their
validity will probably fail. From the
very first there has been a disposition
on the part of the Indian office to have
these contracts ruled out as invalid and
make the men who made the contracts
with the Indians lose what they have
paid them. This disposition originated
with Agent Eel Is, who has for so many
years been agent for the Puyallups, and
Dermeatee the entire Indian office. The
contracts were Drobablv made in opposi
tion to the wishes of Mr. Kelts, and he
intends, if he can, to make the contract
ore lose. .ver since wasnington was
admitted the delegation in Congress has
been trying to have the lands opened
under some regulations that will give
the contractors an opportunity to get t lie
lands or their money back, but it has
always been a imiure. lue nearest a
bill of that kind came to passing was in
the Fifty-nrBt Congress, when Repre
sentative Wilson Blipped through in a
right-of-way bill a clause which would
have settled the whole affair. Cockrell
of Missouri caught it up in the Senate
and made a tremendous bluster, and
Allen and Squire, who were not as famil
iar with Senatorial wavs as they have
since become, allowed the clause to be
stricken out, something that would not
happen again. .Now the difficulty is in
;eiung suuiciuiiig mruugu lud xiuusc.
n the last session of Conitress Doolittle
tried the House and Squire the Senate,
but the more that has been done the
more opposition is found. This opposi
tion comes from the Indian bureau,
which is very much opposed to the set
tlement of the PuvallUD lands on anv
other basis except to eschew all contracts
made.
Assistant Commissioner Armstrong,
who for all practical purposes is the
Commissioner during this administra
tion, says that the commission which is
now at work on the Puyallup reservation
is doing good work in his opinion. He
was there not long ago ana loonea me
field over. He save that when the com
mission reports its action will be unop
posed and the landB will be sold. Ihe
first renort will relate almost entirely to
the lands held in common by the Indians
and not to those held in severalty. Gen
eral Armstrong says that after theBe
common lands are disDOsed of. the com
mission will take up the individual
lands, which the Indians desire to Bell,
and they will be sold under the direction
of the government. Asked if anything
whatever would be done witn the con
tracts, General Armstrong replied :
" Nothing. They are invalid. Every
body knows they are of no account. If
they are tested in the courts, it will make
no difference. When the court dismissed
the injunction against the commission,
that settled the contracts. They will
have no standing in court. Why would
t.hRBA fnllnwa hn txvinir to secure legisla
tion to legalize them if they did not
know they were worthless witnoui sucn
legislation?"
It will be seen that the Indian office
is dead eet against the men with the
contracts.
CHINE8B TREATY.
It Haa Been Formally Ratified bjr the
Celeatlal Government.
Washington, October 1. Notification
has been given the government in an in
formal way of the ratification by the Chi
nese government of the treaty between
the United States and China negotiated
by Secretary Gresham and Chinese Min
ister Yang Yu and ratified by the Senate
on the part of the United States. Only
formal exchange of ratification be
tween the Department of State and the
Minister is to be transacted to make the
treaty a law. governing the relations of
the two powers, and this ceremony will
doubtless take place within a month.
Minister Yang Yu called upon Secretary
Gresham last week and said he received
word from his government that it had
ratified the treaty; that the document
bad been forwarded to him; also that be
had received instructions to exchange
ratifications with the United States as
soon as it was delivered to him. The
treaty with the Chinese seal and signa
tures was sent from Peking several weeks
ago. In the course oi communication
six weeks will be required for its trans
mission to Washington, bo it is not ex
pected at the legation for two weeks.
This is the first authentic information
received in this city regardingthe treaty.
As the diplomatic business of the gov
ernment is naturally transacted secretly,
Yang Yu b communication to the fcecre
tarv of State was not made known until
Gresham's attention was called to the
peculation afloat here concerning the
apparently slow course of the Chinese
government in taking action. Then
Secretary Gresham gave to the press the
status of the matter, and said the re
ports that there waa any cause for dis
satisfaction over the way China was pro-'
Deeding toward the consummation of the
treaty were entirely groundless.
Lo to the OoTernment.
Baltimokb, October 1. There are
,000,000 pounds of tin plate in bond at
this port, the importers having allowed
the stock to accumulate and remain in
bond until the new tariff law, which re
acts the duty 1 cent a pound, went
into efTei-t. Under Secretary Carlisle's
nilinir the new tariff provision becomes
effective to-day, and the customs officials
expect the greater part of the 8,000,000
pounds to be taxen out oi ounn tine
week. The reduction in the tariff will
result in a loss to the government of
180,000.
New York'e New Coaetltatloa.
Albast, N. Y., October 1. The Con
stitutional Convention has adopted the
new constitution as reported from the
committee of the whole by a rote of 95
to 45, two Republican members voting
with the minority. It was first decided
to admit the canal article and the ap
portionment article separately and toe
rest of the document m a whole.
UK VAUH NOT SPKAK.
Ult Tale Hull Pint be Told to the Hrlt-

St. Paul, October l.-Captaln T. G,
R. Oalesworthy of the British merchant
man Kow Shlng, which was sunk by the
Japanese steamer Nanlwa Kan over
month ago while taking Chinese troops
to Corea, arrived in this city to-day on
the Northern Pacific, and left to-night
for London, where the British Admiralty
is awaiting his report on the Kow Shing
affair. Dr. Franklin Rogers of the naval
hospital at Yokohama, with his wiie ana
daughter, arrived on the same train, and
nrocowled to Chicago and WashinKton
on his vacation trip. Neither would
speak of the Kow Shing episode. Gales
worthy submitted to enough of an inter
view to deny all interviews alleged to
have been held with him, asserting he
had not until to-day spoken to a news
tinner man In America. He said:
" I declined every invitation to make
any sort of statement for the press, I spoke
to noDoay ana nave noming to nay h
vou. nor will I sneak to any one else nn-
til I reach England. In due time the
full reticulars of the affair will be
known to the world."
IMPORTANT DECISION.
It Waa In the Caae of Burtwell Agalnat
the tloT.rnuient
Boston, October 1. The important
decision affecting millions of dollars'
worth of claims against the United States
government, which was rendered Satur
day by Judge Cole of the United States
Circuit Court, was in the celebrated case
of Joseph Burtwell, an importer, against
a former Collector of the Port of Boston.
Thn miestion at issue was on the inter
pretation of sections 3.011 and 2,031 of
the Kevi8ed (statutes oi iou, regulating
the time, manner and nature of the pro
test oeainst the payment of duties. Burt
well filed a written protest with the Col
lector within ten days after liquidation,
but the government contended when ar
suinir the case that the protest should
have been made when Burtwell paid the
estimated duties. Judge Cole has now
decided that Burtwell was right. The
government will take an appeal. This
is said to be the first decision ever given
on the point in question.
GIGANTIC WATKR POWER.'
Omaha Wanta a Canal Built to the River
. Platte.
Omaha, Neb., October 1. The County
Commissioners of Douglas county, in
which Omaha is situated, have decided
to submit to the people a proposition to
vote $1,000,000 subsidy to a company for
the construction qf a canal to bring
water power to this city. The enter
prise has been under discussion for more
than a year, and many thousands of
dollars have been expeuded in investi-
Sations and preliminary surveys. The
esign of the enterprise is to create a
great water power just outside the city
limits to be brought into the city in the
shape of electrical energy and sold at a
unilorm price to ail lactones, i ue water
is to be procured from the Platte river,
some forty miles from Omaha and from
the Elk Horn river, some twenty miles
from Omaha, and will be carried through
a canal to a point near tne city limits,
where a fall amounting to 185 feet will
be secured. At this point there will be
developed 24,000-horse power.
TUB CZAR'S DEATH.
Ite Probable Effect Upon the Situation
In Europe,
London, October 1. Advices received
by great financial houses in London are
understood to confirm the worst news
regarding the condition of the Czar of
Russia. Ilia Majesty's condition is said
to be hopeless, and his death can be de
layed only a few months. The general
opinion in this city coincides with that
expressed in Paris and .Berlin that the
accession to the throne of the Czarowitz
will result in depriving France of a
friend. Persons closely associated with
the Czarowitz believe that when he as
cends the throne he will materially alter
the policy pursued by his lather and will
cultivate cordial relations with England
and Germany and hold aloof from France.
The fluctuations in the price of French
renteB during the week are attributed to
would cause a tremendous fall in prices.
New Zealand's Repreaentatlre.
San Francisco, October 1. Joseph
Howard Witheford, representing the
New Zealand government, is here en
route to Washington to nrge upon the
President the desirability of stimulating
trade between the United States and the
Australian colonies. The foreign trade
of the colonies last year amounted to
1500,000,000. To secure a share of this
France and Germany are supporting
lines of steamers. Witheford is confi
dent that if American capital will put
on a line of steamers to the colonies
the venture would prove lucrative, and
would divert from European countries
much commerce which belongs to the
United States. He states his country
men would prefer to import from the
United Slates in preference to European
nations, transportation facilities being
equal.

Pensacola, October 1. At its last ses

New Yobk, September 30. A special
from Shanghai says that the Chinese

is opposing the advance of the main
Japanese army, has mutinied. The men
are throwing away their arms, because
they have no ammunition, being cut off
from supplies. The Chinese defenses

the Chinese troops have evueuated Corea
and are now massed at Unu Lies uiang,

It is stated that the numerous desertions

Japan's kext hove
Lonoon. Seotemlier 30. The Times
publishes this morning an article by an
expert, in which the writer compares
and collates the Times advices from Chee
Foo and the Central News dispatches
from Tokio. The writer concludes that
it may be safely affirmed that modern
weapons have not materially modified
the conditions of naval warfare, and he
adds:
"Japan's next movement is now a
question of the greatest importance.
China's fleet is virtually paralyzed, and
the Japanese are free to transport a force
in any direction. There are two princi
pal courses for them to pursue to strike
direct for Peking or to occupy Formosa.
Either course is more prouaoie man a
march to Moukden. It seems certain
that 25.000 Japanese could take Peking,
when Japan could obtain, so far as China
is concerned, any terms she is likely to
demand. On the other hand, the time
available is very short owing to the ap
proach of winter, and the venture,
though not impracticable, would be very
risky. A force of 20,000 would suffice to
occupy Formosa, and a descent upon the
place is certainly among the immediate
possibilities. Japan Beeks territorial ex
pansion, and Formosa offers obvioua ad
vantages." ADVANCING ON MOUKDEN.
London, September 30. A dispatch
from Shanghai says it is reported the
Japanese have succeeded in entering
the Chinese province of Manchuria and
are advancing upon the capital of Mouk
den. It iB also said fighting has taken
place between the invaders and Chinese
at a town between that city and the
frontier. The engagement is said to
have ended in a decisive victory for the
Japanese, who established themselves in
the position previously occupied by the
Chinese troops. No details of this re
port are given, and the Chinese at
Shanghai discredit the report.
DENIED BY HIIS. PEABT.
Her Hn.band Sat at the Same Table
. With Ule Hen.
Washington, October 1. Mra. Peary,
the wife of the Arctic explorer, denies
emphatically the stories of Borne of the
members of her husband's party of
their alleged treatment. These charges
in brief are that Engineer Peary's auto
cratic methods were offensive to his as
sociates; that he was inconsiderate of
their comfort and ungentlemanly in his
treatment of them; that they were
nearly starved to death, and that they
would have fared better had Mrs. Peary
not been a member of the party. Mrs.
Peary said that her husband was un
usually considerate of his men, and
added :
''As to the men, be gave them the
best it waa possible to obtain. No parti
ality waa shown. Engineer Peary, all
reports to the contrary notwithstand
ing, Bat at the table with his men and
shared their hardships in every way. I
could not go to the public table on ac
count of my baby. Some of the table
delicacies given me by friends were used
by nie, but my husband declined to
share them with me, Baying that he pre
ferred to have only what was given to
the rest of the party."

LIEUTENANT CASEY'S CHABGEK.
Puroha.ed by Colonel Swayne and Not
Shipped to Ble Plancee.
Los Anoeles, October 1. A story was
sect from San Francisco a few days ago,
in which it was stated that during the
battle with the Sioux Indians at Pine
Ridge, 8. D., Lieutenant Caeey was
killed. It was stated that Lieutenant
Casey waa engaged to be married to the
daughter of Colonel Hunt, U. 8. A., now
a resident of Los Angeles, and that the
handsome black charger, which he rode
at the time of his death, was to be sent
to bis fiancee, not a single person having
mounted the horse since Lieutenant Ca
sey's death. There are some radical er
rors in the above report. The big black
horse that formerly belonged to Lieuten
ant Casey arrived yesterday at San Pe
dro, but it was not shipped to "Miss
Hunt." In fact, there ia no "Colonel
Hunt of the United States army " living
in or near Los Angeles. The horse was
really sent by Colonel Swayne of Fort
.K.eoh, Mont, lie is to be retired in
January, and will come here to live on
his ranch at Los Nietos. He bought the
horse when the effects of the late Lieu
tenant Casey were sold along with some
other articles that belonged to the gal
lant and brave but lll-(uted Lieutenant.
Tbe horse ia now about 17 yeara old, but
la still a magnificent animal, he has
been driven in double teams by the Co
lonel since lie was purchased. The
Northern Pacific railway gave free trans
portation and furnished a car for the
fiorBe to Portland in recognition of the
eminent services of tho Colonel during
the troubles with the fiortnern indus
trial Armies.

Ala.ka Mlaaionarlea.
San Fbancibco, September 80. Cap
tain Tilton, of the whaling schooner
Nlcoline, who has been whaling In
Northern seas for nearly two decades,
does not think much of some of the mis
sionaries that hie themselves to the
frozen zone to purify the souls of the
poor Esquimaux and Indians of Alaska.
The captain said :
"The missionaries are divided Into
three classes, and there are some good
men among them, to be sure, but they
are scarce as Uie aurora in a summer
clime. Those whom I condemn belong
to a sect of ' free workers,' who are will
ing to worship God and Mammon for a
chance to make a few dollars. The gov
ernment Bhould take hold of this mat
ter. The Indians of Alaska are an easily
influenced race, who are very anxious to
become educated and civilized. The
question of sending good women and
righteous men to labor among them
Bhould meet with support from Congress.
1 do not desire to condemn all tne mis
sionaries of the Territory, for there are
many good men np there who are doing
exemplary work in teaching the natives.
I do, however, want to say something
about the scoundrels who infest the
northern part of Alaska, and who under
the guise of missionaries take advantage
of their position to lie, cheat and steal
in a manner that would astonish a norse
thief. They are more degraded far than
the natives themselves. These individ
uals no out on the pretense of working
among the Indians, but in reality they
are scheming to gather in skins and to
be the recipients of favors that are not
granted to men in an ordinary station of
hie."
THINKS THE CHINESE VICTORS.
The Opinion of a Former Director In the
Chlneae Navy.
LoNDON.September 30. Captain Lang,
a former director in the Chinese navy
and supervisor of tbe erection of many
Chinese forts, said in an interview to
day in regard to the Chinese reverses:
" The inherent conservatism and apa
thy concerning everything outside of
China and the want of esprit du corps
have had their natural results. As a
matter of fact the Cninese never expect
ed to have to fight, and their supreme
contempt of J upon is a predominant
trait with them. Their seamen are as
brave as could be wished, but they have
not the slightest patriotism, lheir om
cers are regardless of almost everything
but personal advantage, and have always
wanted to evade drill ana remain asnore.
They have hated Europeans and Euro
pean ideas, ana are insuueraoiy odsii-
nate and conceited. There are admitted
exceptions to this rule, however, espe
cially in the case of Admiral Ting, who
is conspicuously a crave anu capauie oi
fleer, whose lead could safely be followed
anywhere. I cannot understand the al
leged superiority of the Japanese quick
firing guns. The four vessels of the
Cliini? Yuen class were admirably
equipped, and I am not disposed in the
light of the present information to give
the Japanese the credit they claim."
Captain Lang ascribes the defeat of the
Chinese, if they have been defeated, to
the fact of their having lapsed from their
hii-li standard of efficiency since law.
The only Europeans now in service in the
Chinese fleet, he sniu, are acting in bud
ordinate capacities. In conclusion he
reaffirmed his belief that tbe Chinese
had been the victors.
COAST CUSTOM DISTRICTS.
What Aaal.tant Secretary Hamlin Saya
of Hla Vl.lt.
Washington, September 80. As
sistant Secretary Hamlin lias returned
from his tour of the customs districts on
the Pacific Coast and a visit to the Prib
yloff Islands. He states that the North -western
frontier is greatly in need of
a more comprehensive police system.
With the very limited number of rev
enue officials available for this duty it is
comparatively an easy matter to smug
gle opium and Chinese into the country,
and no doubt many of the Chinese have
been able to elude the officers and are
now safely within our borders. Ad
ditional revenue cutters and a number
of steam launches, be said, should be
provided. Two revenue cutters, he
thinks, should be assigned to tbe duty
of patroling the Alaskan coast to pre
vent smuggling and to enforce tbe law
relating to salmon-fishing. It was a
singlar fact that many of the large can
neries in Alaska employ Chinese labor
almost exclusively, and some of the
natives had complained of this discrimi
nation. A special agent of the depart
ment was now looking into the salmon
fisheries, and would soon make a report
thereon to the Secretary. Hamlin visited
all the Pacific Coast custom districts,
and stated he had discovered no glaring
frauds, but he thought the good of the
service demanded several changes, and
in his opinion they would be made as
soon as he could prepare his report and
bring the matter to the attention of tbe
Secretary.

HIS PROCLAMATION IN FULL
Civil Right. Are Restored to All Who
Have Complied With the Proclama
tion of Ex Pr.aldent Harrlaon-Satla-fl.d
That Polygamy le Stamped Out.
Washington, September 29. Through
the Department of State to-day Presi
dent Cleveland made a proclamation of
amnesty and pardon to all persons who
have been convicted of polygamy nnder
the teachings of the Mormon Church.
It ia as follows:
Whereas, Congress by a statute ap
proved March 22, 1882, and for statutes
in furtherance and in amendment there
of, defined the crimes of bigamy, polyg
amy and unlawful cohabitation in the
Territories and other places within the
exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States and prescribed a penalty for such
crimes; and,
Whereas, on or about October 0, 1H0U,
the Church of the Latter Day Saints,
commonly known as the Mormon
Church, through ita President issued a
manifesto proclaiming that said church
no longer sanctioned the practice ol po
lygamy and calling upon all members and
adherents of said church to obey the
laws of the United States in reference to
said aubiect matter: and.
Whereas, January 4, 1893, Benjamin
Harrison, then President of the United
States, did declare and grant a full par
don and amnesty to certain offenders
under condition oi future ooeaience to
the requirements as is fully set forth in
said proclamation of amnesty and par
don ; and,
Whereas, anon the evidence now fur
nished me, I am satisfied that the mem
bers and adherents of said church gen
erally abatain from plural marriages and
polygamous cohabitation ana are now
living in obedience to the laws, and that
the time has now arrived when the in
terests of public justice and morality will
be promoted by the granting of amnesty
and pardon to all such offenders as have
complied with tbe conditions of said
Jiroclamation, including such of said of
enders as have been convicted under the
provisions of said acts.
"Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
President of the United StateB. by virtue
of the power in me vested, do hereby de
clare and grant full amnesty and pardon
to all persons who have in violation of
said acts committed either of the offenses
of polygamy, bigamy, adultery or unlaw
ful cohabitation under color of polyga
mous or plural marriage, or who, having
been convicted of a violation of said acta.
are now suffering deprivation of civil
rights in consequence ol the same, ex
cepting all persons who have not com-
pnea witn tne conuitione cuntniaeu iu
said executive proclamation of January
4,1893."
DR. TYNAN'S REASONS.
Ue Dlaappeared B.oauae Be Was Worried
by Ula Stepdaug htera.
San Fbancibco, September 29. The
long-lost, but now found, Dr. Tynan
dined last night with Manager A. Mont-
peller of the Grangers' Bank. He con
versed freely, and, as far as Mr. Mont
peller could judge, was as rational as
any one could be. He haa repeated fre
quently his explanation aa to the reason
lor his mysterious disappearance that
lie was annoyed and worried by the suit
begun by his stepdaughters and wished
to go away and rest. While in Boston
he assumed the name of Thomas .
Stanley, a combination of his own name
and that of his attorney, John A. Stan
ley of this city. Speaking of the suits
brought by his stepdaughters, he said:
"When those girls were little, they
had all the advantages I could give them.
I always treated them kindly, sent them
to school, had them taught music and
other accomplishments. One of them
married a young man who was not much
credit to himself or to anybody else.
Soon after the other one was married.
Everything went well then for awhile,
until I married my present wife. At
first thev were tolerably nood to her.
called ber ' grandma,' and treated her
well ; but finally they became jealous,
and whenever I gave her anything they
objected, and it all ended with the suits
winch thev brought against me."
Dr. Tynan will go to his former home
in Modesto wiliiin a lew aays.
Dr. Tvnan does not believe that Slater,
the Spiritualist, was aided by spirits in
finding him. Slater said that the ghost
of Maria Marvin Tynan, the doctor's
first wife, told him where to find the
missing man. Tynan says Maria Marvin
Tynan was his mother, not bis wife, and
that he believes that Slater merely saw
him on the streets of Boston and recog
nized him, as any other man might have
done. Tynan says he does not believe
in Spiritualism.
No Means to Enforce It. '
Washington, September 20. Treas
ury officials have concluded that thoy
have no means to enforce the alcohol
paragraph of the new tariff bill, and
therefore tbe rebate clause must remain
inoperative until Congress either pro
vides the appropriation necessary to
carry the law into effect or repeals it.
