BIG LAND SCANDAL
Speculators Are Taking Ad
vantage of Indians.
NOW MOVING TOWARD OREGON
Tracts Allotted to Dead Red Men Are
Being Purchased at Ridiculously
Low Figures Government Is
Trying to Stop Abuse.
OREGONIAN'NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug:. 28. Investigation develops
the beginning of what promises to be
come a great scandal growing out of the
purchase by cyndlcates and individuals
of lands of deceased Indians, allotted at
prices considerably below their value an
abuse which the Indian Office is endeavor
ing to check. As yet, it is confined to the
Southwestern States, but the speculators
are rapidly advancing westward and
orthward, threatening in a short time
to penetrate every Indian reeervatlon
containing allotted lands In Oregon and
Washington. There are strong intima
tions, backed by evidence on file, to show
that several agents are in collusion with
the speculators, and are inducing heirs
to agree to sell at ridiculously low
figures.
Commissioner Jones advocates the ad
vertising of all lands belonging to de
ceased allottees, the tracts to go to the
highest bidder, but Congress must first
sanction this plan. There are in Oregon
476,000 acres of allotted Indian lands, 32,
000 acres in Washington, and 188,000 in
Idaho, a large portion of which t belongs
to heirs of the original allottees, now
dead. About 178,000 acres of Oregon allot
ments are at Klamath, 140,000 at Warm
Springe, 77,000 at Umatilla and 33,000 at
Grand Ronde, with the remainder at
Slletz.
Commissioner Jones says these lands
are very tempting to speculators and,
unless some remedy is soon devised, the
Northwestern Indians will be swindled
out of valuable possessions. No com
plaints have yet been had from that sec
tion, but are expected.
The most desirable lands In Washington
are 51.000 acres at Colvllle, 17,000 acres at
Payallup and 211,000 acres at Yakima. The
Lapwal reservation, Idaho, contains
most of the coveted lands in that state.
AGAINST TARIFF REVISION.
Hopkins of Illinois Says Ills State
Does Xot Want It.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 2S. Representative Hopkins,
of Illinois, the probable successor of
"Billy" Mason, as Senator from that
state, Is out in a declaration here today,
saying:
"I avgxee with Representative Cannon
that there is no necessity for revising
the tariff. I have traveled over Illinois
very extensively, and have also made a
tour of. the West, and nowhere can I
find any -demand for tariff changes., We
are now enjoying great prosperity; and It
would be suicidal, In my opinion, to dis
turb business interests by threat of un
settling the present conditions."
Hopkins is identified with the men who
control the House at this time.
FOR CRATER LAKE EXHIBIT.
Interior Department Will Make One
at St. Louis Fair.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Aug. 28. The Interior Dopartment
is anxious to secure an impressive exhib
it from the Crater Lake and Mount
Rainier, together with other National
parks, for the St. Louis Exposition, with
a view to attracting public attention to
these locations and giving the public gen
erally a better idea of the natural won
ders of these spots. A more definite Idea
is yet to be formed as to the nature of
the exhibit to be made, aside from a col
lection of characteristic photographs as
a feature. Suggestions are solicited from
interested Oregon and Washington people.

AMERICAN LABOR LEADS
The Dearest as to Wages, but the
Cheapest as to Results.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. Labor condi
tions in the Iron and steel industries of the
United States, in contrast with those in
the United Kingdom and European coun
tries generally, are discussed at great
length by the commission appointed by the
British Iron Trade Association, which re
cently visited the United States and thor
oughly studied its great Iron and steel
manufacturing establishments. This com
mission consisted of J. S. Jeans, whose
name is already well known to the peo
ple of the United States as an author
ity upon these subjects; Axel Sahlln, an
expert in blast furnace work; Ebenezer
Parkes, whose special study was sheet and
bar-mill practice; and Enoch Jamea, who
gave special attention to the steel Indus
try, while Mr. Jeans' special work was to
report upon the general economic and In
dustrial conditions. The 'report of this
commission, according to some extracts
which have reached the Treasury Bureau
of Statistics, points out that in the United
States the Iron and steel industries are
face to face with conditions that make
both the dearest and cheapest labor at
present to be found In the world the dear
est In point of nominal remuneration, and
tho cheapest In industrial and economic
results.
Americans Sot Hardest Workers.
"The workmen at American mills," says
Mr. James, In his share of the report,
"are generally supposed to be working
much harder than they do In this coun
try (England), but this Is not my own
view. After much conversation with many
men in various branches who had been
employed in similar works In England, and
some of them subject to my own control,
tho conclusion I have arrived at Is that
the American workmen do not work so
hard as the men In England. They have
to bo attentive in guiding operations and
quick In manipulating levers and similarly
easy work. They are also much more de
sirous of getting out large quantities than
in England. They are better paid and
more regular In their attendance at the
works, loss of time through drinking hab
its or otherwise not being tolerated."
HlghWsplratlons of Americans.
Mr. Sahlln, In his section of the report,
says that the American workman gener
ally aspires to the higher grades of labor,
leaving the purely manual labor to work
men from other countries. "Thus It is,"
he says, "that around American blast fur
naces the American is found in a very de
cided minority. He may be a foreman,
master mechanic, blast engineer, locomo
tive driver or stove tender, but he will
not work S4 hours per week shoveling ore
or wheeling scrap. For those duties are
employed. In the South, he negroes, and
at the Northern furnaces Immigrants,
mostly Irish, Slavs or Italians." On this
question of higher-grade work and higher
grade wages of American workmen, atten
tion is called to the fact that In certain
works Polish and Hungarian laborers were
receiving $1 to ?1 50 per day, while Ameri
can rollers working alongside of them were
receiving on the average $12 per day bf
eight hours. The report quotes Mr. Carne
gie as stating recently that the average
wages of men in his employment at Home
stead was 13 per day, or an average of
1S7 per annum, against an average of
6S per annum as the earnings of iron and
steelworkers In Lancashire, and' 79 per
annum received, by tho steel rollers in
South Wales. On the question of the cost
of living, Mr. Jeans declares, as the re
sult of his inquiries, that "the average
American workman, in most of the essen
tials of life, can live, mutatis mutandis,
as cheaply as he can in the old country."
Importance of Human Factor.
"The Importance of the human factor,"
says tho London Statist, In summarizing
this report, "Is fully realized by all the
members of the commission. It is all very
well to admire the American plant, the
Ingenuity of machine tools, the devices for
saving labor, and so forth. But, as Mr.
Sahlln remarks in his special report, 'It
Is not the guns which win the battles, but
the men who stand behind them." What
the American admires and honors is the
ability to do; that capacity In a man,
through his own sagacity, nerve, enterprise
and skill, to create and employ a fortune.
Nobody is above his work. Everybody
works, and for the sake of work, and thus
has been produced in America within a
generation an industrial potentiality more
wonderful and more to be feared than all
the factories and machinery and 'plants'
that these workers have created. It comes
to this, then that American labor Is not
more efficient, though it Is better paid,
than ours; and that American manufactur
ing development Is duo to the persistent,
unresting industry which once character
ized the Briton, but for which trade-unionism
and athletics have given an apparently
growng distaste. All the reporters, how
ever, seem struck with the strenuousness
of American life. The comparative ab
sence of a leisure class Is noted as one
of the prominent characteristics of the
principal cities and Industrial centers of
tho United Statea In tho avenues of In
dustry a man without a regular business,
br who is not concerned in the develop
ment of some industry, is as a fish out of
water. Nowhere, we are assured, is the
struggling youth more kindly encouraged,
more generously aided and more readily
trusted, than in America; and it is pleas
ant to read of an esprit de corps among
works managers which one would hardly
expect to find in a land of such feverish
competition."
CHINESE INDEMNITY.
First Payment to Claimants Will Be
Twenty-five Per Cent.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 28. The State De
partment has decided to begin at once
the distribution of the first installment of
the Chinese indemnity funds, amounting
to about $180,000, among the missionary
societies and individuals who suffered
from the Eoxer uprising. The claims
commission is composed of Minister Con
ger, Secretary Bainbridgeand United States
Consul Ragsdale. Their first report, which
has just been received, passes upon to
claims out of a total of about 250. These
CO claims amount in tho aggregate to
about $900,000, so the first Installment of
the Chlneso Indemnity will not be large
enough to defray that total. Instead of
waiting until sufficient is at hand for this
purpose, the acting solicitor of the depart
ment, Mr. Vandlne, recommended that a
payment of 2o per cent be made to each
of these claimants, and the plan has been
adopted ljy the department. It is expected
that the total of the claims allowed will
amount to about $2,500,000.

ENTERS CITY IN STATE
AimiVAXf OP ICIXG VICTOR. EM
MANUEL AT BERLIN.'
William C. "Whitney Establishes In
England a Trust for Needy Turf
men International Combination.
BERLIN. Augr. 23. Tho entry of Kins
Victor Emmanuel Into the city today
and his drive through the TJnter Den Lin
den was advanced purposely half an hour
from the published time, as a precaution
against possible disorder. Consequently,
the great crowds which were packed Into
places before the Brandenberg gate were
astonished by the arrival at a brisk trot
of a gorgeous cavalcade surrounding a
six-horse carriage, in which sat Emperor
William and a small man In a dark uni
form pulling at a blonde moustache.
' The carriage stopped and the crowd3
ceased cheering in order to see what
would happen. The Chief Burgomaster,
Herr Klrechner, advanced and read an
address of welcome from a parchment
scroll. Behind the Burgomaster stood,
bareheaded, 100 representatives of the city
in evening dress. The reading was over
in less than a minute. The Italian King
then turned to the German Emperor and
asked him if he should reply. The Em
peror shook his head negatively, and the
King thereupon shook hands with Herr
Kirschner and thanked him. A deputa
tion of young ladles advanced on -the
other side of the carriage and gave the.
Italian King a bunch of roses. lie smiled, '
bowed and burled his face In the blossoms
and the cavalcade and carriage swept
through the gate and down Uriter Den
Linden to the castle, three-quarters of a
mile away.
On one side of the thoroughfare, cuir
assiers, dragoons and lancers, lined up
two deep, made a glowing barrier of col
or, -while on the other side the people's
view was unmolested, except by extraor
dinary numbers of police standing with
their faces turned toward the specta
tors. The cheers of the people were,
spontaneous and really cordial. They
seemed so to Generals Corbln and Young
and their party, who had a row of good
windows. The American officers admired
the splendidly-horsed cavalry more than
anything else. The show was over In a
few seconds. Shouting and the successive
crashing.? of bands played at Intervals
between the squadrons of cavalry marked
the place of the King and Emperor down
tho avenue.
Their Majesties later drove to the Ital
ian Embassy for breakfast and then
again to the castle. The Secretary of tho
United States Embassy, John Black Jack
son, represented the United States, In
the absence of the American Ambas5ador,
Andrew D. White, who Is on a visit to
Switzerland. Emperor William kept King
Victor Emmanuel up late last night at
Potsdam, and had him out of bed at 6
o'clock this morning.
The visit of King Victor Emmanuel to
Emperor William has been marked by
the conferring of many orders, including
the order of the Annunclata, which was
personally handed by the King to Count
von Bulow. The Order of the Black
Eagle was bestowed on SIgnor Zanardelll,
the Italian Premier, and the German Am
bassador o Italy, Count von Wedel; the
Order of the Prussian Crown on SIgnor
Prlnetti; the Grand Cross of Saints Mau

Beresford Trust.
LONDON. Aug. 23. William C. Whit

of assistance. Mr. Whitney, out of re
spect for tho memory of Lord William
Beresford, with whom he was associated
in th"i successes of Volodyovsky and
other horses, has established the trust by
handing to tho trustees 400 preferred

The trustees will meet twice a year at
Newmarket to consider applications for
assistance.
SARATOGA. N. Y.. Aug. 23. William
C. Whitney said tonight with reference
to his founding a fund for the benefit of
needy turfmen:
"That. was over a year ago, in June.
1901, I believe. When I won the derby
with Volodyovsky, my winnings on the
race were about $35,000. to which I added
a little and this constituted the basis of
the trust fund for turfmen. The fund
Is to be In the hands of trustees who
probably have Just been appointed and
that, undoubtedly, accounts for the news

Proposed Combination of American
and English Steel Exporters.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2S. A combination of
American and English steel and Iron ex
erting Interests continues to supply food
for discussion, says a Berlin dispatch to
the Herald. The announcement is made
that the English. American, Belgian and
German steel mills have arrived at an
agreement on an order to export steel
rails to Canada, of which the Unltod
States and English works supply 166,600
tons, and the German and Belgian works
6S.500 tons. The leading official of one
of the largest Rhenish and Westphallan
Steel Works, which has Its main offices
in this city, is quoted as having said:
"The project for a mutual understand
ing betwen the Iron and steel Interests of
Germany, England and the United States
Is not so Impracticable as it may appear
to many. I doubt very much If American
capital could break the steel and Iron
'kartels' existing in Germany, but that
would not prevent us from arriving at an
understanding for mutual benefit to all
parties, especially In regard to exports."

Yerkes' London Undertakings.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. Charle3 T.
Yerkes, who has returned from London
after an absence of nearly eight months,
said regarding the transportation lines
now being constructed In London by
American capitalists:
"In 18 months we expect to have our
lines running. Last year we did not get
very far advanced, but a new company
with a caoltal of $25,000,000 has absorbed
the old company, which was capitalized
at $1,000,000, and also obtained four dif
ferent franchises which already had
passed through Parliament. These four
lines, together with the Metropolitan Dis
trict Railroad, the present underground
railway scheme of London, comprise our
system.
"When completed our lines will go In
an oval under the heart of the City of
London, and these different lines will
connect with this oval. This makes
through lines through the mouth of' the
Thames at the sea to the town of Rich
mond, 60 miles away. When finished
there will bo 66 miles of double track to
connect with other lines 40 miles in length,
all electrically equt ied, and the majority
of the distance being run through sub
ways practically the same as the one now
under construction in New York."
