INDIAN CLAIMS.
WASHINOT j.v , MaylD.--rho rccre-
tary of the interior baa referred to the
court of chins f..r adjudication tliti
claim of the Chickaaatr Indlame prr-
talnlug to the disputed disburaemeuto
made by the United Statoa from the
funds of aald Indiana , nnd certain al
leged wrongful payments made from
trust funda of orphan aud incompetent
Chlckasawa. The secretary of the In-
torlor also referred to the court the
claims of loyal Creek Indiana for loasoa
alleged to have boon sustained by
them during the rebellion.
TUE STAK KOUTE THIAI , ,
WASHINGTON , May 15. Wilson
continued hla address to the atar route
jury thla morning , in behalf of Gen.
Brady. Taking up petitions , ho
asked how Brady was to know that
the heads of petitions had been writ
ten by D jrsey'a employes , as ho could
not have known their handwriting.
Then It made no dlflarence who wrote
the heads ( the court Itself said Doraoy
had a right to do It ) , BO long aa the
signatures were genuine , and that waa
beyond question. Thla case shonldbe
tried upon the evidence that Gen , Bra
dy had before him , and not that caught
In the proseontlon'adrag-not and sifted
o suit themselves
Wilson , in hla addrota to the jury ,
referred to the Bismarck Tongue river
route aa confirmatory of hla assertion
that a route was not valuable eolely In
proportion to the amount of receipts
at the termini. The letters passing
daily over that route bore a stamp to
the amount of $100 , yet the balance
sheets of the oih'cea on the routes did
not ahow the Bales of stamps to that
amount. That tended to prove the
mutual dependence of the routes.
When John Doraey wont out to es
tablish that route he was forced to
accept military escort , yet that
same section ia now settled ,
oven Caster's battle field
has been occupied by thrifty
emigrants , yet the prosecution would
have the jury to believe the service
cost too much. Brady refused to dla
continue the service and the contrac
toraloat $40,000 or $50,000. But
that made no difference with the
prosecution. If ho had let them out ;
if he had granted their request to dla
continue the service , the government
would have instanced that In proof of
conaoiraoy. In reality Brady's course
in regard to the Bismarck route , was
the boat proof that there was no con
spiracy. Co-conspirators did not
usually force one another to lose
money.
The court adjourned before the con
elusion cf Wilson's address.

Secretary Folger bos Informed the
president that in order to carry into
effect the provisions of the act to prevent -

The court of olalmi has rendered a
unanimous decision in the test case of
Leopold vs. the United Stater. This
suit was brought nominally for differ
ence of pay , but in fact to determine
the status of cadet onglncora
who graduated nt the naval
academy In the years 1881 and 1882.
The navy department hold that they
were under graduhtcg within the moan-
it > g of the net of August laat , and were
transferred by that act into naval
cndots , mid tholr pay cut down , and
In connrquonco of this , they would all
have baun compelled to re graduate
and inoat of them w nld then h vo
boon dropped under the act as anrplnn
graduates. The court decides they
tut ) riot under graduates , bonce they
were not transformed into naval
caduta , but now romuiu in the aorvlco
as cadet onglnoers. A largo number
are Interested In the decision.
