Interior, at his own request, appeared i today before the special Senate com- , mittee which has investigated the citi zenship and propierty rights of the five civilized tribes of Indians. It had been announced that the Secretary’s purpose was to explain what he believed to be his statutory authority for withdraw ing four million acres of Indian lands fv m allotment In order to create the forest reservation asked for by Secre tary Wilson, of the Department of Ag riculture. Mr. Hitchcock said that his legal department had prepared a re port which would be made to Congress and that this report would justify the course he had taken.

J. Their release from detention, i: was stated, was secured by the Italian ambassador through an appeal to the Slate Department. The workmen claim that wages arc due them, and they will take proper legal s:c;s through the ambassador to obtain what is coming to them. Ac cording to their story, the men were rem to West Virginia last November, through a labor agent in Hoboken, where most of them resided. They were employed as track workers on a railway, but upon arriving at the camp, 18 miles from Prince. West Virginia, from which place they were compelled to walk, they found that they were ex- peeled to do blasting instead. The men protested and Marled to walk hark, when, they claim, they were rounded up by twelve armed men who called themselves deputy sheriffs, and held prisoners f ir several days in .a box car. For the first five days, they say, they had only bread and water, and for two days thereafter the food supply was' cut off entirely. Hunger they said, compelled them to work, bit: sufficient funds were raised for nine of the party to buy their release and permit them to return to Hoboken. mm bill FOR IMLIIJM AFFAIRS WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—The house began consideration of the military appropriation bills. Chairman Hull began general debate by a comprehensive state- ait nt of the contents of the army budget, which carries J2.500.000 more than last year. Upon the subject of coast forCvTi- • at ions. Mr. Hull stated that there had ilra.uiy been expended about J75.000.000. md he said it proposed to continue the expenditure until about J!25,000,00fl shall have been expended. He said the :rmy, as it stands today, in its artillery branch, was not sufficient to give one l ift to the guns already emplaced, the >ay of the artillery not being sufficient to nuhle the Government to secure r-nlist- Hints in that branch of tin- service. "This Congress.” Mr. Hull said, “should ither increase the artillery arm of the •ervice and increase the pay of the skilled lien of the coast artillerv, or it should re send the report to the committee, de- I daring that he had found legal au- : thority for his action in withdrawing the lands in the face of an act of Con gress ordering that the lands be open ed to allotment. In compliance with his promise. Secretary Hitchcock for warded Assistant Attorney General Campbell's opinion on the withdrawal of the Indian lands to Senator Clark's committee during the afternoon. In justification- of the Secretary’s course, Mr. Campbell cites a large num ber of eases of withdrawal of public I land, and he takes the position that the I fact that the Secretary has general I control over the affairs of the Indians 1 gives him the same right to direct the ! policy to be pursued with reference to j Representative Hull, of Iowa, in charge of the bill said that the eommitte knew that he did not approve t he large maneuvres because he did nit believe the national guard received any bene fit.

TENNESSEE SOCIETY HEED ANNUAL DINNER NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—A toast to President Roosevelt as “one who has done much for the South." opened the speech making at the second annual dinner of the Tennessee Society ’ in New York, held at the Waldorf to night. The one hundred and fifty din ers responded with enthusiasm. President Polk presided. He ex plained that Congressman Jas. M. Griggs, of Georgia, who was to have been a guest, was unable to be present because of illnc-ss. I Wm. A. Barber, former Attorney General of South Carolina, talked about "Some Impressions by the Way.’’ Not- | withstanding the population of 2.230,000 of Tennessee, less than one per cent is foreign born.” he said. "It has pre served its pure and homogeneous citi zenship and this, after all, is the best and safest means for the highest de velopment of American ideas and insti tutions." Wm. Hepburn Russell, of Chatta nooga, said that the proposition of cen tralization proposed by Secretary Root was an advocacy of "centralized despotism in the form of a Federal Gov ernment." "It is a precarious and un- American doctrine," he added, "this j proposition that the Federal Govern ment is not only a supreme power but above the Constitution.” Members of | slipped out of camp, organized them | selves into a small force, marched up to town and into the jail and as they were about to attack a guard fantry, commanded by a young officer, a corpora] or a sergeant, of the state guard, ordered them to halt. Fifty or sixty shots were fired and he fell dead in the street. "There never was a man punished for anything connected with it," said Mr. Grosvenor. \ “There never was an officer callol on for a report and there never was any report by any captain or other commanding officer of that regular bat tery, and the feeble attempt of the local authorities to punish the men who committed that cold blooded murder was utterly futile for reasons that do not core to go into just at this time, under the surrounding circum stances.” He charged that the war department in addition to the regular officers and men, had taken ud the cudgel in op position to th" militia of the state.

AUSTIN, Tex.. Jan. 9.—A resolution ■ for a sweeping investigation of the I conduct of United States Senator J. w. I Baiiev was introduced in the House . of Representatives of the State Legis- | lature today. It is signed by twenty - ] eight members of the Legislature. Senator Bailey’s term expires on I I March 4. | In the primary election of last July, j Senator Bailey was indorsed for Sen- ! ator by almost unanimous vote of the ! 1 people.

C. Pierce, of the Waters-Pieree Oil Company. The resolution recites the charges against Senator Bailey in order, sub stantially as follows: That while a Representative in Con gress and a candidate for the Senate he accepted money and favors from the Waters-Fierce Oil Company (charged to be a subsidiary corporation of the Standard Oil Company and dom inated by it), and from its president. H. Clay Pierce, as consideration for his political and official influence in securing the re-admission of said com pany to do business in Texas after Its charter had been forfeited by legal proceedings and final judgment ren- | dered therein by the Supreme Court of the United States. thus rendering fruitless and null said proceedings and Judgment.” The resolution provides for the in vestigation of Senator Bailey’s rela tions with the Kirby Lumber Company, wherein it is related he became under heavy personal obligations to its presi dent. The resolution also provides for the investigation of Senator Bailey's rela tions with H. Clay Pierce, in reference to the sale of securities of the Tennes see Railroad coal properties amounting to S13.000.000. It is also recited that Senator Bailey is charged with drafting a charter for the Security Oil Company, under em ployment and for a large fee from S. G. Bayne, of New York, charged to be connected with the Standard Oil Com pany, and that the Security Oil Com pany was chartered by the State of Texas and is now doing business in Texas. It is also recited that "It is charged that Senator Bailey engaged in a transaction with Barnett Gibbs and D. R. Francis, of Missouri, where by he bought a ranch, and that in this transaction he was financially aided by D. R. Francis and H. C. Pierce.” It is further charged that upon an investigation of Senator Bailey's con duct by the committee appointed by the Twenty-seventh Legislature that lie wilfully and purposely concealed from the committee and Legislature all the financial transactions had by him with H.

Jan. 9.—Reports received on Tuesday from Nogales, in the Orizaba mill district, indicate that the Government has 'completely mas tered the situation. The strikers have censed all acts of violence in the pres ence of. the large body of troops rushed there from the capital and nearby gar risons. The seriousness of the affair, however, was realized today when it was made known that thirty of the workmen were killed outright and over eighty wounded by the soldiers, who were compelled to fire on the main body of the rioters before they could be dispersed. It was learned that the men. after pillaging the stores at the Rio Blanco mills, became emboldened by their success. A part of the men rushed to' Nogales, a short distance away, where another mill is located. Telegraph, telephone and electric light wires were cut and pawnshops and private houses were pillaged. Then the jails were throtvn open, and the prisoners set free. Residents of the mill district fled in terror to the city of Orizaba. When the strikers reached Nogales one official and one gendarme from Orizaba made an in effectual effort to check them. The striker named Morelos threw a huge stone at Senor Herrera, mayor of the city of Orizaba, striking the official on the head and badly wounding him. Herrera shot Morelos, killing him. A body of troops arrived and as the strikers attempted to resist, a volley was fired into the mob, killing 30 and wounding over 80. After this the mob w.»3 scattered, the strikers gathered in groups at various points, and a body of 700 col lected on a railroad track and held up the train for the city of Vera Cruz for several hours, the engineer not daring to run through the crowd. -Finally, troops arrived and charged the men with broadswords, scattering them. The jails and armories are filled with imprisoned strikers. The Government has learned that a committee of strikers has left Orizaba for Tlaxcala. Puebla and other cities, to incite laborers at those points to strike. It was also learned that one man well known to the police had left for the Isthmus of Tehauntepec on a like mission.

S.—Two sessions of ihe Bright Tobacco Growers’ Associa- ion of Virginia, which also embraces the North Carolina Association. were held here today with an attendance of fully 00 delegates, coming from various sec tions of the two States. President H. O. Kerns, in his opening address, explained hat the object of the association was a continuance of plans decided on some months ago to fight the trust and secure a higher price for the product. The meth ods of the arrangement place all of their tobacco in a storage warehouse now being operated here under the auspices o.’ tffo ssociation, and have it kept there until prices that are deemed reasonable by a special committee, are secured. This method has a tendency to do away with the present system 01 selling tobacco at ublic auction to the highest bidder. [anagers and directors for the warehouse ere selected and arangements made to ! ontinue it through the year. President Kerns and Interstate President Adams and others made addresses. The speakers were loudly cheered when the American Tobacco Company was ar- igned for being responsible for the op pressed condition of the farmer, which made it necessary for him to work his ife and children in the fields to make a ving. Many of the farmers today and tonight pledged themselves to turn their tobacco over to the association for that , . body to dispose of it. At the session to- j laid before the senate, but discussion was postponed until tomorrow on the statement *of Mr. Foraker that Senator Tillman was still indisposed and un able to address the senate as he de sired. After a general discussion, a tenta tive understanding was reached in the senate today, justifying the expecta tion that a vote on the general ser vice pension bill will be taken next Friday. The measure was debated at some length during the early part of today’s session and recorded no vital criticism, but many commendations.

PAUL, Minn., Jan. 9.—The legal battle started by the State of Minne sota to determine '.he necessity for the issue of proposed $60,000,000 worth of Great Northern Railroad stock began in the Ramsay County district court here today before Judge Hallam. The State claims that the Great Northern Railroad, in promoting this issue of stock, failed to take into considera tion a State law which provides that the application shall first be made for a hearing before the State Railroad and Warehouse Commission as to the necessity for the issue and for what purpose the money is to be expended before such an issue can be made. The State in its bill of complaint avers that if such an issue of stock be made, it will greatly increase freight and passenger rates in the State, and that the patrons of the railroad will have to bear the burden of increase. The Great Northern in its answer, which was read in court today, set forth that it had the right to issue this stock by authority of the charter of the Minneapolis & St. Paul granted by the Territory of Minnesota in 1856 and by acts amendatory thereto passed in jS65, in which the Minneapolis & St. Cloud Railway was given the right to issue one or more classes of preferred stock in an amount not to exceed $30.-- 000,000. The answer claims that all out standing stock is preferred stock and that none of its common stock has been issued. It further claims that ail of the $60,000,000 of the stock will be prefer red stock and none of it common stock. Attorney-General Young, in opening his argument, said that right of the commission to give authority of stock issue went to the vitals of the situa tion in respect to the protection which the State wished to grant the people. length in support of the measure.
