Do EepwliaUs the New York World’s
Sensational Charges About
Indian Affairs.
MB. GARLAND CALLS IT FAKE,
Vo Foundation for the Story—Sir. Smith
Talk* Freely to the Telegraph— 1 The
toaiei Were Made at (be Beet
Prices Obtainable.
lion. Hoke Smith, secretary of the
Interior, reached Macon ycarterday af
ternoon to be prevent at the heariug
of the motion to confirm the gale of
the Georgia Southern and Florida rail
road company, which will be heard
before Judge Origga today.
A representative of the Telegraph
tailed Mr. Smith’* attention to the
xousottonal article published in the'
New York World of the 27th and copied
In the Atlanta Constitution yesterday
morning. The reports,- requested from
him the facts. Secretary Smith said:
"There la no materia, statement con
tained In the article which Is true ex
cept Ihe fact that the Indian agent wag
authorized to extend the Cess of graz
ing lands upon the Kiowa and Co
manche reservations a* the rate of 6
coal* per acre for twelve months
longer, about ten days ago.
"The details connected with such
leases belong entirely to the Indian
bureau, but having seen the article In
the Now York World, I obtained them
before I left Washington Saturday
night.
"Tho Kiowa and Comanche reserva
tion Ilea between Texas and Oklahoma,
The grazing lands on this reservation
have been leased for a number of
yeans at tho annuat price of 6 cents
ret acre, and the authority to the In
dian agent Capt. Baldwin, who Is
an airay officer detailed for tho pur
pose was given upon the ivcjinmenda-
tlon of Cnpt. Baldwin himself, and
also upon thj recommendation of the
commissioner of Indian affairs, bo h
of whom reported that no larger r,m
could be obtained for rents).
"It Is entirely untrue." centlnucd
■Mr Smith, “that the ofl«r of JO cen »
per acre was made, or ilia, any ej-
• lUrance ooubl be given ts*'- any sjuh
price could bo obtained. 1 no Indian
bureau had advertised -r iJr upon
tho Pottawatomie reservation near tho
Kiowa and Comunch ). reserval»n anil
had been unable to obtlnn bids ot any
kind, and I have no reaeon to doubt
Umt the recomiiiend'.*.io.,s isst fit wo
1cm;* be authorized at 6 cents peracco
mi rn for the 'beat Interests of tho
lrtdans.
“! have received no communication ot
any kind upon the subject except tha
rocomicendatlons. to authorize the
leases from tho commissioner of In
dian affairs and tho agent In charge.
"The story about Col. Cobb la sluv
plj a roraanco. I suppose tho Ool. Oobb
rofetred to was n Dr. Oobb who Uvos
In Tixa* near the reservation and who
was In Washington city something over
twelve months ago as tho representa
tive of the Interests of the lesson of
those grazing lanilB. At that time n
Ml) uas pending before congress lo
open up this reservation to Settle-
■trim, ami pending the consideration
by congress of the bill I declined to
authorize tho extensions of the tenses.
Dr, Cobb Is no relatlvo of mine, nnd
so far as I know not n connection.
“Ho was never a guest at my bouse,
but, on tho contrary, while he was In
Ws.htngton during the winter of
1893-91 I .was toil to brllevo that he
probably obtained his connection with
the cattle men upon the claim that he
was related to me. After forming
tlHf opinion I declined to allow him
admission to my Office and warned tho
chief of tho Indian division against al
lowing him to appear In departmental
matters. I have Dot aoen Dr. Cobb, nor
have I heard from or of hint, until the
publication in tho World, for twelve
months. Neither he nor any one elso
outside of the department had any
thing whatever ,vi do with the receut
extension of these leases.
WHAT Mil. OAKLAND BAYS.
"The statement rhat Mr. Garland
had tiny oonneotion with me In per
son or tn writing upon the subject Is
utterly faflse. On Saturday ufternoon
last Mr. Garland wrote me a letter.
In btdi ho stated that all of the article
which referred to him was untrue. Ho
furthermore stated that during the
nrl.rvr of 1893-94. when the bill before
incntloucd was pending In cougrvss.
be was employed by Dr. <Vbb, and
spoke to the chairman of the lmliau
ocnrmlttee of the eenuto and of Uie
house upon the subject.
Mr. Garland furthermore statAl tn
this letter that tho fee which Dr.
Oobb agreed to pay Mm was 81.000.
and that he paid him with a ohOck for
8250. which was to have been cash.
The check was duly forwarded to tho
Texas bank and by It proteatoa.
"And Mr. Garland further statro
that he never received auy fee nt all.
and wss compelled to pay the protest
fee on the check. .
"If Dr. Cdbb appeared In Willing-
ton again Just before the recent ex
tension of the leases ho did not appear
about the Interior department.
"The entire story, so tar aa It was
Intended to have any point, ts u
mlscrsblo fake.

^Washington. April 27.-(SpecUl.)--The
New York World this morning printed
(he following seneaUoaal story: •
"Ex-Vtiorney Oeoersl oartsnd of Bras*
tdent Cl wound's first cabinet his a grlev-
snoe against Hoke Smith. secreUry of
tho Interior, sod threatens to gst ao ln-
veetetzttnw commutes of lbs n ** ( cou-

seres* of arising land 111 Gklahom* tran
ter, st s tents sn a-re whleh. ho eUlms,
could hive been leased ,for 19 coats an
Interior one year ago. Mr. Garland wa3
employed by certnlu cattlemen to look
after their Intereslit. Ho was promised
Jio.f/O If he should ret their offer ap
proved by the r erewry of the Interior.
Mr. Garland was Joined In the matter
by Col. James Cobb of Fort Worth, Tex.,
a cousin of the secretory of the interior.
Col, Cobb came to Washington and was a
guest at Mr. Hoke Hmlth'o house. Tha
secretary approved tho contract submit
ted by tho cattlemen and tho latter
thought they succeeded by reason of the
fact that Col. Cubb was a cousin of the
secretary.
"They Intimated that they did not care
to pey Mr. Garland the amount agreed
upon.
‘,'Mr. Garland complained to the secre
tary of the Interior and tfie cattlemen
paid Mr. Garland his fee. Ths same cat
tlemen wanted to get the contract again
this year. Ur. Garland claimed that hla
original understanding was that If he
succeeded !ast : year, he should hare 210,TOO
and that if they secured It again the
coming year he should hare another 810.-
000. Mr. Oarirad informed Secretary
Hoke Smith of this alleged agreement
some Ume ago, and be says he under
stood the secretary to say In reply, that
he would see to It that Mr. Garland re
ceived hit tee this year before the leases
were renewed to the suns cattlemen.
Mr. Oirlsnd relied upon this understand
ing. but the leases were simply extended
today for another year to the same cat
tlemen and Mf. Garland's fee has not
been secured. >
"Within the lest five months Secretary
Hoke' Binlth has been notified In writing
that the lands thus leased for « cents
per acre would bring » cents. In fact, a
resolution was Introduced In the last
house railing upon the secretary not to
lease these reservations for another year
for less thin 1# cents per acre, hut It was
smothered tn committee.
"In the written communication referred
to, the secretary wss asked to require
competitive bids for tha leases this year,
nnd he was assured that If he wouel do
this he would certainly get W cents nnd
probably 13 cents per sere, or from DO,TOO
to 2125,000 more per annum thin the pres
ent lease brought.
■'It was also stated that aoon after tne
last leans was approved, tho secretary's
cousin, Col. Cobb, was paid by the cat
tlemen securing tho lease 819.000 for his
Influence or services. The secretary was
also Informd In this communication that
tho chief of the Klowns. Quannlparker.
Is receiving 8750 per mouth from the cat
tlemen by way of keeping lilm quiet, an.l
that other Indians likely to comprehend
that they are only deceiving half enough
rental for their lands, ore placed on the
roll * of beneficiaries by tho cattlemen
doing business with the Interior depart
ment through Col. Cobb.
•To this communication the secretary
made no reply. About the- Ume that bid*
should be received for next year's leas"*
Inquiries were mado of tho secretary as
several competitors desired to file bids.
Assurance was given that Capt. Baldwin,
the Indian agent, would bo Instructed to
receive bids for the new leaso dating
from May t.
“A few days ago Col. Cobb again ap
peared tn 'Washington, nnd Secretary
Hoke Smith received word (hat the mes
sage to Capt. Baldwin had. 'miscarried'
nnd that hence no bid* had been received
by him.
"Upon till*, the secretary concluded
that he would not have lime to rrtdSive
bids and would dispose of tho matter by
extending the lease for one year.
"It was stated by a member of the
house from tho West, who Is familiar
with tlie wholo mutter, that In tho event
the reservations were again leased ut the
ridiculously low figure of 6 cents per acre
be would otter a resolution to tovestlsnte
the matter. In the face of today’s bevel-
opments, tha same member ■tatps that
the matter -will mbit certainly be tovee-
tRented, a- *v# la Republican; It »■
certain that even If Mr. Garland
fled, he and other*, Including Col. Cobb,

hear Interested parties on the subject of

The matter lias been postponed hhree

public.
It will not bo a very great surprise If
the confirmation proceedings come to a

but Objection! were made to the rale at

unlikely that Judge Griggs will have to

COSMOPOLITAN. ‘*' 7
The Story of m Foht^hhonse aud a Man Who
. t Bathed*
It was Dr. Holmes, I tliink, who said
that tho axis of tho earth sticks out visibly
in every country village. At ony rate, the
saying Is perfectly true, and it reminds
mo of on experience a man I know bad in
one of those very villages. It was a town
whose inhabitants inform yon, In tho most
delicious accent, that they are cosmopoli
tan. Tho Very cream of their cosmopoli
tanism is to bo found in a restaurant ol
which tho town is very proud—an estab
lishment whero they epit fowls on tho end
of tho axis. Tho man I spoko of was stay
ing in town & fow days, and tiring of hotel
fiiro was directed to tho famous restau
rant Ho wont in apd ordered a tender
loin steak. They were just out of tender
loin, tho waiter said.
“But,” ho went on, “I kin give you a
very fine piece of pohtahhoaso, Bah, of it's
tho same to you."
Tho man said it was tho same to him,
and tho waiter marched off with tho nir oi
u dram major. Tho man saw him open
tho kitchen door and coll out tho order in
the loftiest way imaginable. Thero was a
glimpsoof awidooyodoook. Then an awe*
stricken voice rolled out to tho waiting
guest:
“Pobtahhouso!" it said. "Pohtah-
house! Golly, ho must hab lots of money.”
Tho same man tolls a story, too, about
tho hotel in that town. It was a hotel
whero tho servants scorn bubbling'over
with anxiety to wait on you. Tho man or
dered a bath prepared for him ono night—a
warm bath, with an ocean of water and a
big, dry land of towels. He got it. . Tho
next night ho rang tho bell to order an
other bath. Tho bollboy who had answer
ed his summons tho nighfbefore appeared.
Hooxprossod surprlso at seeing tho guest
“Thought sure you was gone, boss,” he
sold.
“Why did yon think that?” asked the
man who tells tho story.
“Well,” said tho bellboy, “you see, you
dono hab a bath last night, and folks don’t
in generally toko a bath unlcssthoy’s go in
away.”—Washington Post

Johnson owned a dog. Thompson lived
next door to Johnson. Tho dog fowled
all night, seven nights in a week. Bald
Thompson to Johnson: “Seehere, wo havo
always been good friends, though neigh
bors, und I thought I would toll you that
tho howling of that dog of yours is driving
me and my family wild for want of sleep.
My wife has lost nearly llvo pounds in
weight.”
“That’s quoer,” sold Johnson. “I
haven’t noticed him making any noise.”
*•*«**«
Onoovening Thompson come into tho
house leading tho 'obnoxious dog on a
string. “Now,” said ho to tho astonished
Mrs. Thompson, “wo will soon eettlo tho
dog nulsanco. I didn’t liko to kill tho dog
while ho belonged to Johnson, so I bought
tho beast. Thero is nothing unnelghborly
in killing our own dog. I’ll got somo
chloroform tomorrow.”
*•••**•
Said Johnson to Thompson: “Woll, you
haven’t chloroformod tho dog yet.”
“No,” Bald Thompson, “tho truth is, we
havo become rather fond of tho little fel
low. He la so lively and playful.”
“But doe6n’this barking at night annoy
you?”
“Haven’t notlcod it nt all,”
“Hml” said Johnson. “Tho brute

, An Art Criticism.
Tho artist had 6omo pictures on exhibi
tion In a dealer’s gallery, which was such
a cramped up little place that tho artist
complained considerably about it, but as
it was all that could Iks had h.1 wus win-
polled to endure it. The day after thu Jlrst
day of the exhibition tho artist was talk
ing to the dealer.
“I beard a good deal of adverse criticism
on^your pictures yesterday,’’ 6ald tho
“What did they say?” inquired the artist.
“Tin y K.itl tin* pictures were no good.”
“Of course,” repliqd tho artist angrily.
“How could they bo In a littlo cubby
holo liko this? What tho pictures need is
tho proper distance.”
“I guess you’re right,” admitted tho
doolcr, smiling. “I heard pno man say,
who was backed up against tho far wall,
that If ho could get about 4H miles farther
away, ho beliovod tho pictures would bo
right satisfactory.”—Detroit .Free .Press.
Fancbette sank into my wicker ohaii
and sighed, w hile I busied myself with the
teapot. Fancbette usually comes to tell
other people’s joys or sorrows, and if she
has ever had any of her own no ono ovex
knew It, bo I glanced across tho vase ol
noddiDg roses Interrogatively.
She tapped tho floor with her absurdly
pointed toe and failed to answer my very
direct question. The water, bubbled In
tho bra«s kettle, the tea cups executed a
jingling dance as Fanchette’s nervous fool
struck against tho light table. I poured
out the fragrant golden liquid, and Fan*-^
chc tto sighed again.
“Oh, dear!” the exclaimed.
“I am not going to ask you any ques
tions,” I announced proudly as I dropped
a lump of BUgor in my cup.
“No?” Eald Fanchetto, and we relapsed
into gllenco.
' “I suppose,” she eald after a pause,
“you would not disdain to listen to—to a *
Btory, would you?”
“I should bo delighted to bear it.”
“Of conrso It is not about myeelf,” sh«
faltered.
Tho girl had a fatal art of being sym
pathetic, of drawing people’s oonfldoncei
fcom them, of saying sweet, comforting
things when they had laid their trouble!
before her.
“A very dangerous gift.” *
“Yes, a two odgod sword,” replied Fan*
chetto savagely.
“Woll, a man came to sea her ono -day.
He was engaged to a friend of hers, and
they had quarreled. It was a simple lov
ers’ quarrel and would have mended itself,
healed by kisses and caiessos, but when
the man told my friend about it she hap
pened to bo In a sympathetic mood and
oponod her oyos very wide, shook hor bond
sadly and assured him bf tho pain which
it gavo hor to know that her friend could
bo so cruel. So tho man felt very right
eous and much abused and decided that
his llancco needed to bo punished. Ho did
not go near hor for three woeks, and 6h«
told my friend that lifo was not worth liv
ing. go this professional sympathizer told
hor to stand on her dignity and not to
write to him; that she would bring thing!
around all in good timo.
“All this time the disconsolate lovei
paid regular visits to my sympathetic
friend. Sometimes she Bcoldcd him, and
sometlmos sho was kind. But to hei
amazoment she made no progress toward
a reconciliation. He was a big blond,
stubborn as a Greek, but just the kind ol
a man n woman can twine around her Un
ger. Sho tried smiles and digniflod lec
tures, sho was coquettishly sweet, but
nothing moved him. He said bo was quite
contented as ho was and would not for-
givo Mildred. ' Then she told him he wai
Inhuman, a cruel brute, a monster.
“And ho only laughod!
“You.see, tho trouble was sho had been
used to coquetting with young fellows.
Ho wn9 older, shrewder and oven more ol
a flirt than sho, and he understood her.
“Ono day his flanceo came and accused
hor ot flirting with him. * Sho called hel
an unscrupulous coquotto and raged and
wept, and thoy both went into hysterics,
but each declared tho man was not worth
crying about, but that it was each othor'g
reprehbnslblo conduct which mado them
sorrowful. Of courso tho ond of It wni
that roy friend had to tell him to 6top
coming to sco her, and thou—oh, and
thon”—
“Well, nnd then?”
Fanchetto loaned a hot cheek on a slim
hand. “Oh, it’s a silly story—he said hi
loved her nnd not Mildred I”
“Outrngoous!”
“Of courso it was. Ho said It was hoi
fault that sho had brought out alKho arts
and graces and smiles of coquetry to plead
for Mildred, but had dono tho very worst
thing in tho world to bring about a recon
ciliation. And he said ho would novel
cease his attentions until sho said shr
loved him. Well, what could she do?”
“Do! Fanchetto! Send him away with
a.vory sound scolding ringing in his ears.
What a question!”
“Well, sho didn’t. She was a foolish
girl ond listened to him. And, well, ol
course, sho was fond of him, but sho said
sho was not ond laughed at him, laughed
at his nngor and his shame and sent him
away vowing rovongo. Was that right?
It made her unhappy; it made him miser
able; it lowered his opinion of women.
But she gratified her soruples. That’s all
of tho story.* Givo mo another cake. ”
She leaned baok iu tho wicker chair, tha
tendrils of golden hair clustered on hot
white forehead. Tho firelight shone on
hor upturned roond.ohin and white throat.
“And iho sequel?”
“What do you think it Is?”
“Well, ho camo back 80 times and at
last won her, as persistent men do espe
cially when they know a girl likos thorn,
as this man certainly did.”
“Really, do you think so?”
“Of course. Ho saw through the little
farco. You look flushed, Fanohetto!”'
Sho sank back out of tho fire glow.
“Whero aro they?”
“Tho 6oquol is not as you think,” she
broke iu. “Ho wont back—to tho other
girl.”—Now York Commercial Advertiser.
