WASHINGTON', Jan. 9.—Secretary
Hitchcock, of the Department,of the
! 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

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

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Claiming
thi:t they had been held practically ir.
peonage in a West A Irginla lumber
camp, i group of Italian workmen
pissed through this city today bound
for Hoboken, N. 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

rounded up by twelve armed men who
called themselves deputy sheriffs, and
held prisoners f ir several days in .a

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.

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.
At this point of the debate which
took on wider range. Representative
Grosvenor, of Ohio, enlivened the house
by relating the story of the encamp
ment held last summer near Ills home
in Athens. Ohio/'He asid there was
always an irritation and conflict be
tween farmers’ sons and merchants’
clerks and the men of the regular army.

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.
Mr. Crumpacker. of Indiana, asked if
there were any colored soldiers at that
encampment.
“Not one,” replied Mr. Grosvenor.

TO CROSS ATLANTIC
I LONDON, Jon. 9.—The British bat-
: tleship Dreadnought is about to make
a cruise across the Atlantic, which will
take her to West Indian waters at
about the time Rear Admiral Evans,
squadron will be in the same vicinity,
thus affording the American officers
the possible opportunity to see the
latest marvel in naval architecture.
The purpose of the cruise is to test the
seaworthiness of the battleship during
the worst of the Atlantic season, and
also to test her batteries under ad
verse sea conditions. The warship will
stay about two months at Trinidad,
devoting most of the time to gun prac
tice in adjacent waters. It is under
stood that the American warships will
rendezvous at Cuiebra, near Porto
Rico, at about the. same time, which is
hardly more than a day's sail from the
Dreadnought's rendezvous.

| lature today. It is signed by twenty -
] eight members of the Legislature.

j Senator Bailey was indorsed for Sen- !
ator by almost unanimous vote of the !
1 people. Since that time i: is charged |
i that evidence has been obtained which,
j it is said, shows he received large
i sums of money in loans and fees from

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.”

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

CITY OF MEXICO. 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. All of these men are be
ing pursued by the federal authorities.

ASSOCIATION II
DANVILLE, Va., Jan. 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.

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.
