The Kllllnur of Iiiilliuin liy n (1111110 Warden Doiiniinecil IIM a Murder. 31rs. W. H. Beck , -wife of Captain I3eck , formerly In charge of the WInnebago reser vation In Nebraska , but now of the Ute and Ulntah reservations In Utah , was In Denver a few days ago on her way west , and while there was Interviewed In regard to the re cent killing of Indians by the game warden In Routt county. She stated that she had heard from her son , who Is an ottlcor In ono of the troops stationed at Fort Duchesno , that a governmental Investigation Into the recent killing of the Indians by the game Hardens Is going to ( bo held shortly. "Paul said In his letter , " said she , "that that affair was nothing but murder , an,3 the crudest variety of murder at that. The Indians are wards of the Government , and It Is no more than right that the government should Investigate the killing and see that punishment Is meted out to the guilty parties If a crime Is shown to have been com mitted. Ho went on to say that the Informa tion gleaned at the fort goes to show that the game wardens are guilty , and that It has been decided among the higher oUKMals of the army and the secretary of war that an Investigation should bo held. Although I was not at the agency at the time of the alleged outbieak. yet I read enough regardIng - Ing It to know nearly all of the particulars and I fully agree with my son that It was a cruel murder. "My experience among the Indians has taught mo that they are possessed of loving natures , and that they will never harm a friend. You know Indians have a universal reputation of being thieves , but In all of my life among them I have never lost a thing that I know of through theft , and my pos sessions have been , easy of access to the In dians had they desired to molest them. They detest the average \\hlto man , and consider him far below their social level. They do not consider It a crime to steal from him , but think It clever. "I left the agency last August and have slnco that time -been visiting my sister at Fort Nlobrara. We were all very much In terested there In the Houtt county trouble , but were sorry to know that the Indians were killed , almost without provocation. No ; far from being a dreary place , the Ulntah agency Is a very enjoyable residence place. It Is a beautiful spot , almost surrounded by moun tains and as cosy a little nook aa I ever saw. I never have become lonesome there , for I have busied myself studying the natures of the aborigines , and wherever I became weary of that I could always occupy my time pleas antly gazing at the varied outlines of the Ulntah mountains. There are between 1,800 and 2.000 Indians upon the two reservations : , of which Captain Beck .has charge , and among these are members of four tribes. The White River Utcs. the Uintahs , the Uncora- paqhrea and the Utes. "They have given us very little trouble during the course of our stay there , and I be lieve are as peaceable and lawabldlng as any tribe in America. But they arc averse to manual labor and you might as well at tempt to move the Rocky mountains as to try to compel them to work. They are bright and apt scholars and are eager to learn to do fancy work , to write and. In fact , to do any thing that requires simply skill and Intel lect but If you att'mpt 'o make them do ha d work they will He down and refuse to move rather than be forced to labor. It Is a pe culiar thing about them , and they have a finer nature than the average dark-skinned race , and education would accomplish won ders with them were it not for the fact that the educated members of the tribe , after their schooling has been completed , are forced to return to the reservations , and there again descend to the level of the other mem bers of the tribe , and to lose all the advan tage which their learning might have been to them. "This Is a point upon which I am very scasltlve , and which I have taken to heart. As soon as I reach the reservation I am going to begin writing a book on the sub ject , entitled , 'Four Years oi > a Government Reservation , ' and In It r am going to en deavor to call the attention of the white people to this Injustice that Is being done the Indians. Why , I attended the com mencement exercises at Carlisle , Pa. , last spring and was astounded at the refinement and education which I encountered among the red men. But wrat does It amount to ? They go back amcag their relatives and are relegated to a seat In the tepee or about the tire and afo oftentimes compelled by the o'her Indians to discard their civilized raiment for a blanket. ID time they become aa badand , oven worse than the others. " Tin- LrnilliiKMult K&trnet.

The tomahawk was presented to the ma jor several years ago when he was agent on the Colvlllo reservation.

Such a proceeding Is salt ] to bo a flagrant brooch of International comity and la Interpreted In some diplomatic quarters its evidence that Gennnny used Jier griev ances as a pretext for the occupation of the Island. It Is bellcred that possibly Ger many's object Is to use the occupation ot the Island as a lover for compelling tr.nlo con cessions from China. In the general scram- bio for commercial advantage In the cast Germany has thus far signally failed.

The more 1m- portant reports from the Treasury , War and Navy departments have not jet been made public and these worn given consideration at the session today. The president also discussed various features ot hU mcus.ige. The two jubjpctB which engaged the spe cial attention ot the cabinet were those re lating to the manner In which the Cuban pioblem and the question ot the finances should be handled In the president's mes sage. The opinion was Kencrally expressed that the Cuban situation as It affects the United States was even more favorable than could 'be expected , and there waa especial good feeling over the release of the crow ot the Competitor.
