A delegation of Chippcvva Indians me hero
from northern Wisconsin to protest against
the action of thf ir ngcnt , J. T. Gcgnry , of
Ashland , in disposing of the timber upon
their lands contiary to the law and the regu
lations of the interior department. During
the administration of Picsident Atthur a
rule was ndopled allowing them to sell the
timber from the land under contract with the
highest bidder , and with the condition that
the Indians should bo employed and paid the
ruling rate of wages to cut and icmovc the
logs from the land. The agent has the power
to make this contiact subject to the appioval
of the commissioner of Indian nffaiis and
With the consent of the Indians , but it Is
charged that Grcgoiy is selling the timber lo
Ills fav01 itcs without competition , at prices
below commercial tales , and that vvhlto men
nro employed to cut and remove the logs
against the policy and i emulations of the de
partment. Gregory is a Wisconsin
man and was appointed upon the
recommendation of Seoi clary Vilas and
J. H. Knight , of Ashland , his pat t nor and
political manager. It is also claimed that
jnuoli of the timber so sold finds its way to
the Superior Lumber company , at Ashland ,
Of which Secictaty Vllas and .T. H. Knight
ai o stockholders , the contiact having been
made with one Kennedy , an cmplojo of that
company.

Now it is charged , too , that the matter has
frequently been bi ought to the attention of
Mr. Vilus , bofoioho became seciotary of the
interior , without any collection of Iho evil ,
but now that ho has taken official control of
Indian affairs the Indians como lo Washing
ton to appeal to him In person. Gregory , the
agent , denies the charges , claims that they
\vero inspired by unsuccessful bidders , and
that the law In being c u ried out so far as is
practicable. Hut the Indians are of different
opinion. They asset t that the Had River ,
the Lac do Flambeau and'other Chippcvva
roservalions in Wisconsin have been shipped
of timber for the benefit of lumber firms who
nro friendly with Agent Gtcgoryut prices
much lower than might have been obtained
if other persons hud been allowed to bid and
Without regard to the allotments in sevcialty
ns icquircd by law. The favorilo conlraclois
have been allowed lo select the best and most
accessible tracts , without the presence of the
agent and tha fanners , as the logulations 10-
quho , and llm contracts have not been tc-
portcd lo the commissioner of Indjan affairs
for his approval. They claim that they might
pet 75 per cent mote for their loirs than Ihoy
are receiving at piosent if the contracls weic
made according to law. The regulations of
the department contemplate that the Indians
Should not only receive the full maikct price
for their timber , but that they should also bo
paid regular wages for the work done in cut
ting it and taking It to maikot. For example ,
if they sell their timber for $7 or SS per log
Stmnpage , they should icccivo in addition $ )
cr $5 , as the cnso may bo , for culling anil
hauling it , labor that they arc pei fcctly com
petent to perform. Hut at the pi ice now
| > ald for their timber they are gelling only { 2
or M instead of the $1-or JM lo which they
are entitled.

gram to the Hi c } The hccretniy of the

braska. Maiquault made a timber culture
entry for the Iract in qucstion in August ,
lSS3andMts , Ellis filed a declinatory state
ment in the following November , alleging a
settlement live dajs before Marquardt's
entry was made. After the usual piellmi-
narios , Mts. Ellis offered final proof and
Muiquatdt filed a protest alleging prior right
to himself. The local oftlccis decided in favor
of Mrs. Ellis and the commissioner of the
general land oftlco sustained this finding.
The secretary of the interior , after reviewing
all the evidence , concluded that the title of
Matquaidt was boiler than that of Mrs.
Ellis IIo therefore rev erscs Commissioner

Special to the BFt.l Since Prince Ulsmiuck's
famous white J veal salgncr n blano speech
there has not prevailed such general uneasi
ness as to the continuance of peace ns at
picscnt. The persistent uneasiness and the
lightning rapidity with which Germany.and
Austiia and Russia are pushing forward
tlrcir muniments , the enormous stores of
tinned provisions , quaitcimaster's supplies
and amunltion that me dally being forwarded
to the Kusslan frontier , cause nhu m and ap
prehension. Consequently It Is with keen
pleasure that I am enabled to communicate
the most definite and jiuthontivo pacific- ut
terance that 1ms for many j cars been pro
nounced by Piinco Hismaick. It is this :
On Monday Pi inco Hlsmarck received at
his residence inWllhelm strasso several vis
itors. Among them u as the representative
In Berlin of a foicign European power ,
whether ambassador or minister plcncpo-
tentlary I am not at liberty to disclose. Hut
I have the authority of a personage present
upon the occasion to announce the following
conversation that took place on Monday nt
Prince Hlsmarck's residence In Wilholm
strasso between the chancellor and the rep
resentative of the foreign power.
A NOTAlILn IinCIAll VTIOV.
The conversation was In French , which , by
the way , the chancellor speaks with Parisian
fluency , tempered with academic purity. The
diplomat taxed the chancellor :
"I hear that they arc trj ing to get you in
the rclchstag to mnko soma kind of a declara
tion on the existing state of the relations of
Germany and Russia. "
Pnnco Uismarck replied In almost exactly
these terms : "What can I say In the icichs-
tag ? If I say that everithing is peaceful ,
and that there is no piobability of
war this j car , then all the opposition will
raise a hue and cry about the army budget
and insist on its being not inci eased but do-
minisncd. If , on the other hand , I tell them
that war is Imminent , then Kussia w ill be ir
ritated , Franco \ \ ill bo irritated , and Austria
will bo beside herself with excitement. This ,
In fact , might prccipitato war , which I hope
will not take place before 1802. "
TUB 1DFS OKMAHCII.
The diplomatist heio asked : "Why do you
say 1SU ( i
The chancellor , with a characteristic twich
of his right arm , said : "Russia is not yet
fully picpaicd for war , neither is France , for
Franco has not yet the powder in sufficient
quantities for her new rifles Austi ia is not
prepared , and Gei many well , I will not say
whether Germany is prepared or not. It will
take four or five jcars before any ol
the great powers will have attained their
maximum fighting strength. Until this max
imum is reached I do not see any imminent
probabilities of war. The czar is peaceful.
Now let mo tell you something else. 1
am almost certain that , in spite of all
that is said to the contrary , the
czar docs not want war : the Emperor William
does not want war ; Austria does not , with
tlio exception of a few Hungarians , want
war : Franco docs not want war , and I my
self simply detest war. I think the j ear 1SSS
will e\pue without being made histoiical by
a European war. "
Will * NOT COMPItOMIin niMSEr.F.
The foieign diplomatist said : "If you
make any statement in the icichstag , will it
bo to that effect i"
To this the chancellor replied : "No , ]
should simply impress upon them the fact
that Geimanj's national existence depends
ponds upon at least kecpiiif.
abioast of our ncighbois in militaij
strength and readiness , and that war can
only bo averted so long as Germany continue1
fully prepared for it. I sec no reason will
peace should bo disturbed for four years. "
I had a long and very interesting conver
sation to day with the Frederick the Gicai
of German 11 n mice , Haron von Hlelchcroeder ,
who is the trusted friend , the finan
cial confident and the lo > al admire )
ot Pi Inco Bismarck. The astute
baron had , earlier in the day
had a conversation , lasting nearlj
two hours with the Iron Chancellor. The
baron whispered to mo several political tips
that had dropped from the chancellor's lips
but these I am not autlioi izeu to tclegrapl
j ou at present. ,
MPMCAV FIVAXCC.
In rcfcicnco to the Mexican loan , however
I amnuthoiized to say this : The Mexicm
oongicss , with the object of effecting the con
version of the Mexican debt , applied t (
liaion von Hloicherocdcr to iloat n Moxicaf
loan in Heilin , for i'10.750,000. , To this demand
mand of the Mexican government , Haioi
\on Uloiehrocdcr said :
"I can't give jou a definite answer at enc <
whether or not I will umleitake the proposei
loan , foi my doing so'depends entirely upoi
the political situation of Europe. Hut bcfou
the llrst of Api III shall bo in a position ti
say yes or no. "
THE MEXICANS MUST HIVE PATIl'XCE
Haron von Hleicluoder then explained ti
moth it if the Mexican financiers were no
willing lo wait , then they would either lm\i
to apply to bankeis other than the Haion voi
UlcieVuodcr , or that the loan would not bo of

No Doubt Now of n Flflit For the New-
York Detonation.
Ni.w YOIIK , Feb. 3 [ S | < oelal Telegram to
he Hi n. ] Last night the Washington cone-
< pendent of the World telegraphed his paper
ns follow s : Washington Is t oil hot vv llh New
Yoik state politicians to night. If any doubt
exists ns to n tussel between the friends of
overnor Hill and those of ProsUlont Clove-
ami forcontiolof the delegation to the na-
lonal democratic convcnllon , it would be
shaken by a day In Washington and talks
vlth these visiting statesmen. The litst ar
rival of prominence was Commissioner Danlol
Gibbons , who was the advance sktuntsh
: uard of the Hill fmces nt the Arlington
Monday night. Gibbons is silent andmjste-
rlous , nnd declares that his mission is ono of
niie tecrcatlon , and Unit politics has nothing
vhalcvor to do wllh It. Fiom the mannei In
vhleh he observes the Cleveland politicians ,
lowovor , the ical ptuposo of his visit
an bo readily undeistood. Thcio is a bat-
allen of Cleveland advocates at the Ai Hug-
on. The most prominent Is e\-Ma.v or Grace.
Mr. Giaco believes ho possesses Iho key lo
levcland's success next fall , Ho ishotolo
show the plcsldent how that success can bo
iccomplMicd. Ho believes In throw ing open
o the spoilsmen all the remaining places In
ho president's gifl. Ho is posillvo llmt some
nlluences that will tcnoininate Cleveland for
the picsldency will nominate Giaio as gov-
cinor of the slate of Now Yoilt in phuu of
David Honnclt Hill. Hy Grace's avowed ad-
nlssmns he expeels to succeed Hill , and Hill's
Ci lends , Iherefoie , nro less disposed than uvor
0 iclinquish Iho gup thei have obtained on
, ho machinery of the stato.
"With Graeo against Hill for governor Iho
tight belwecn Cleveland nnd Hill fet the
iresldenoy , " said a southern member of
congtess last night , ' 'will bo a tight lo Iho
loath. "
This is the way an old New Yoik politician
summed uii the situation : "Tho light be-
.ween the picsldont and Govoinor Hill seems
neater the longer it lasts. You can see It
"lore. Ex-MiijorGiaco lecognl/es that if ho
s to bo governor at all ho must slip in under
.hu tails of Cleveland's i oat , and this is his
ast chance. There is no question that ho Is
ulvising the president that the only way to
secure a united delegation is loputthosoiows
on Iho Hilt people and to tuin
over enough palt onagu lo make cot tain that
, ho friends of the piesidcnt will scorn o con-
; tel of the delegation. Tint the ft lends of
; ho administration mo vcty UUP isy and anx
ious is sufficiently shown by their presence
iiero and their disinclination to disuiss poli-
, ics. Rest assuicd that If llu-y had ono coi-
: ainlthat.they topic-sent they would not bo
ticio so soon aflct last week's state commit-
co meeting looking for the administration to
strengthen its fences. "
Another New Yorker said : "It is not gen
ially known , but the piesidcnt has ofteied
.o Joseph J. O'DonoghiK1 , a piominont Tam
many hall leader , the assistant sub tioasmy-
shipof Now York in plncoof Charles. I. Canda ,
ami that O'Donoghue has declined the honor.
Tammany hall docs not want that position.
1 piesiimo if Cleveland would lomovo Pear
son fiom the head of the Now York post-
oftlco and appoint a sound Tamilian ) Ito hu
might piopiltato Ihat organization. At all
events , it is doubtful if the picbidenl can
win the suppoit of that oigatiizution unless
lie makes some such movo. "
Cleveland's fi lends maintain nn equipoise
and sang froid that ino delightful. If thej are
fi ightcned they do not betray it. They speak
in the most confident tones of the piesidont's '
renomination and ro election. They assort
that the opposition in New York will molt
away like snow with the nppioach of an
April sun.
