- Should tho amendment Introduced by Sen
ator Stewart and adopted by tho subcommit
tee on Indian uffalrs, relative to tho opening
of Indian reservation Inndu to prospector
and mlncru of ro11, silver, copper, lend, zinc
and coal, bo accepted by thn full Hcnate
committee and tho namo bo reported to tho
cnate, It will bo one of tho most far-reach-Inn
proiiorltlonB that has been presented to
congress for years. Senator Stnwart, backed j
by Senator.! Puttlgruw and Thurston, be-
Ilcvo that tho Indians of the Trilled Stutes,
llvln cn reservations In which It Is known
thero exists Kreal bodies of precious metals,
should asslft tho Kovcrninenl of tho United
States to tho extent of helping to pay some
what their obligations. Countless thous
ands of acres of land In tho mountainous
regions of tho country, absolutely untllla
ablo, aro known to contain precious metals.
Tho Indians themselves know llttlo and c.iro
less about those great bodies of precious
ores. Thoy only know that tho govern
ment Is providing handsomely for their sup
port and that so long as tho reservations
are not opened to settlement, Juri that long
will they rontlnue to thrive nt tho hnnds of
a lavish government. In order to lift tho
burdens of tho government somewhat this
amendment Is to bo tucked to tho Indian
bill. Of eoiirso, It means n big fight tin tho
floor of tho senate, hut it is del loved to bo
a step hi tho right direction. Tho Indians
upon tho reservations whero these bodies of
ore nre to bo found urn to be protected In
their rights by rules nnd regulations laid
down by tho nceretnry of the interior, and
that any damage dono to property through
mining, or even in tho way of paying roy
alties for tho ores taken nut, nro to bo paid
by the companies operating tho mines to
tho United States for tho benollt of tho In
dians upon whoso reservations tho mining
operations are going on,
Aultiitlmi for n ficiirrntloii.
This Is n Hubject that hns agitated the
minds of tho members of tho committees of
tho two houses for u generation and the ngl
tatlon will undoubtedly go on until some
such law as Senator Stewart proposes Is
enacted. It Is claimed thnt countless mil
lions of dollars nro locked up lit tho vast
solitudes of Indian reservations known to
but few pcoplo and theso peoplo. by tho re
lentlesB ruling of tho secretary of tho In
terior, uro kept off tho reservations that arc
rlrh beyond tho ilrcnms of men.
Thomas K. Evans of Manila, ono of the
big business men In tho Philippines, has
been In Washington recently on mnttcrs
connected with tho Interior development of
tho Island. In tho courso of n conversa
tion hod with him tho other day It wus as
certained that ho had lived for six months
In Fremont nnd was In tho employ of Arun
ilal C. Hull, a pbotogrnhper of that place,
during tho winter nnd fnll of 1S7S, nnd that
during tho tlmo ho was In Fremont ho had
stnrted In tho commission business In n
smoll way by buying chickens, ducks nnd
geese, packing tho samo nnd sending them
to Denver, ono of tho best markets of tho
kind nt that tlmo In tho country. Mr. Kvnns
there laid tho foundation for tho Immense
commission business which he does now In
the rhlllpplnes, amounting to over 12,000,000
n year, his best constomer being tho United
States government in tho Orient.
To Tiii Filipino' llonril or Cold.
Mr. Kvnnu has some pronounced vlows ns
to tho eourso our government should pursuo
to bring order out of tho present disturbed
conditions In I Alton, and ho stntcd them to
tho president on Saturday In n long confer
ence which was grnnted him by tho chlof
cxecutlvo through nrrangemcnts mado by
Senntor Thurston. Mr. Evans Is emphatic
In his assertion that tho hoarding of gold
In tho Philippines, which Is giving tho gov
ernment much concern nt tho present time,
could bo effectually stopped by requiring
that nil customs nnd postnl dues bo paid In
gold or United Stntcs currency. Ho said
that gold ns n medium of exchange In tho
Internal business of tho country Is llttlo
used, Thnt as tho currency of the Philip
pines Is chlolly tho Mexican dollar, tho
Chinese, who recelvo largo quantities of
gold, Immediately ship It out of tho Philip
pines to China, thereby securing large pro
mlums which ennnot bo had In tho Islands.
Ho said, In speaking of the mutter, what
was most needed in tho Philippines nt tho
present tlmo is tho circulation of tho cur
rency of tho United Stntcs, thereby sup
planting tho Mexican dollar. Ho thought
this should bo done, of course giving tho
peoplo an opportunity to accept tho changed
conditions by tho announcement of tho new
policy say In six months or n year henco.
Mr. Evnns ndmlttcd that this Idea Is
antagonistic to tho views held by tho
bnnkcrs of tho Philippines, but contends
thnt Its prncticnl effect would go far toward
tho reconstruction of tho country. "Tho
peoplo who nro In rebellion In those Islands
nro not alono in rebellion against tho
United States, but ngninst nil peaceable
citizens of tho country. Tho marauding
bands of Filipinos who go about the coun
tiy nro Just as llablo tn loot, a Filipino
fumlly ns tin American, especially when tho
Filipino family Is known to bo peace-loving
nnd attending to their own business. Thero
Is no longer a recognized Phlllpplno array,"
ho said. "Thoso In rebellion uro adven
turers broken up Into bands nnd outlaws
and should bo dealt with us such."
I'l-iilm- for 'In ft ('oiiiiiiInkIoii,
Ho spoke In, strong terms of pralso of
tho Tnft commission, nnd ho was emphatic,
in tho thought that its work would prove
of Incalculable benefit tn the Islands. Thn
commission has gained tho confidence nnd
respect of nil tho best citizens of .Manila,
Irrespective of their nationality.
Mr. 13 vans lias spent n quarter of a cen
tury In tho Orient, this being his second
vlilt to tho states In that period. Ho went
Into Mnnll.i a few days after tho advent of
Dewey und It wn3 through his Instru
mentality that tho troops of (lencrals Mer
rltt and MncArthur wero landed nt Cnmp
Dewey, his ntenmcr, tho Kwong Hot. ef
fecting it lauding from tho American trans
ports, rteprcsentativo King of Utah, undaunted
by tho summary manner with which bills
for cession of public lands huvo been dis
posed nt during this nnd prior scbsIous
of congress, has Introduced n bill for wholo-
salo cession of all public lands to tliu sev
eral public laud states nnd territories. This
bill la tbo boldest declaration of the prln
elplo of land cession that has boon Intro
duced In congress, and Its Introduction will
doubtless bring much ndverso criticism
upon Its author from the untugonlsts of
land cession, who nro as n rule extremely
radical In their opposition to nil measures
ceding lauds to the states, Hut as. Mr.
King will leave congress nt tho close of
tho present session lie Is not disturbed at
tho prospect of adverse criticism, Inslstius
that the adoption of his measure would bo
of untold ndvnntugo to tho west nnd would
entail no loss to other portions of the
country.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13, Copies of gen
eral orders from tho Philippines, received
here, show thnt n largo number of native
Filipinos have been convicted of murder
nnd other crimes nnd sentenced to bo
hanged or to servo long terms of Imprison
ment In ono caso the accused belonged
to nn organized bund, which, under the namo
of "Ounrdta do Honor." had for Its de
clared object the murder of penreful nnd
unoffending victims, If found necessary
either to grntlfy n tlcidro for revenge or 1
n feeling of envy ngninst tho rich.
"Theso Inhuman methods," says Ocncrnl
MncArthur, "remove nil the participants,
whether chief, or willing follower of tho
bands, from tho pale of tho law nnd placo
them nmong that class of cowardly and se
cret assassinations which, nmong civilized
pcoplo the world over nre held to bo ene
mies of mankind."
A natlvo named Vlnccnto Prndo estab
lished a camp In a strong position, dltll
cult of access In tho mountninous district
near Hosario, Union province. Thero ho
entrenched himself, erected buildings with n
band of nrmed outlnws which he gathered
about himself. Recently two Americans
wero taken Into tho camp ns prisoners, nnd
for no assigned renson other than thnt
"they wero enemies," they wero ordered to
Instant death. Shortly afterward two Iggor
rotcs, a man and n woman, were taken be
fore Prndo, charged with being American
t.plcB. Without nny nttompt nt proof or
form of trial thoy were ordered lmmedr
ntoly to bo executed. In both Instances
Prado personally witnessed the execution
of tils orders by Ills band, which used bolos
on the dcfensoless prisoners. On another
occnslon Prndo ordered his band to attack
ami burn tho pueblo of Sun Jacinto nnd to
arrest, und If he resisted, kill, tho presi
dent of Hosario. In pursuance of those or
ders, the presldcuto of Itosnrlo nnd his son
were killed and 103 houses destroyed by
fire. Prado nnd his chief outlaw assist
ants wero sentenced to bo hanged.
Another natlvo sentenced to bo hanged
was Pedro Lnchltn. This man was ono of n
band of natives who represented themselves
to bo policemen, entered nt night several
houses nnd by threats nnd tho uso of fire
arms. Induced tho natives to como out nnd
surrender. Then thoy tied tho arms of tho
men behind their backs and beat them with
bolos and robbed tho houses of money, Jew

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Tho nrniy reor
ganization bill will continue to engage the
ntttntlon of the senate, nt least during the
first days of tho week. Tho opinion Is
qulto generally expressed nmong senators
that the bill will bo acted upon by tho
middle of tho week, and even tho critics of
the measure Join In this prediction. Many
phases of the question Involved In tho army
bill remain to bo considered nnd the gen
eral understanding is that thero will bo
not u little discussion before the bill can
bo disposed of. The Bpceeh of Senator
Piatt of Connecticut last Friday in de
fense of tho bill on general principles will
cnll for replies, and thero nro nlso special
features which will require more or less
uttcntlon. Among theso nro Senator Dan
iel's amendment concerning tho appoint
ment of volunteers to olllces In the regulnr
nrmy; tho question of the disposition of
ofllcers who have held staff positions and
tho provision for the enlistment of Fili
pinos In tho American nrmy. Tho disposal
of all theso questions undoubtedly will till
tho first two or thrco dnys of the week.

Senator Allison Intends tn call tip tho
legislative, executive and Judicial appro

upon, hut whether this and other appropria
tion bills to follow It shall occupy tliu ex

they nro on the calendar Is a question
which has not yet been absolutely deter
mined. Tho present Indications nro, how
over, that tho appropriation bills will be
considered In ndvrinco of nil other meas
ures whenever they nre before tho senate.
When thero nre 110 appropriation bills to
bo taken up tho ship subsidy bill will be
discussed. Thero arc still numerous
speeches tn bo mado upon this measure,
nnd nlrcady thero Is talk of night sessions
for Its consideration when It Is taken up.
Thero Is llttlo In tho legislative bill to

thnt senators hosttlo to tho subsidy bill

South Omaha News .
Quito nn amount of Interest nppcura to bo
manifest In the proposed amalgamation of
tho South Omaha club and tho Commercial
club. Tho former Is purely a social organi
zation whllo the latter, as Its namo Implies,
Is 11 business Institution. As every member
of tho South Omaha club is a member of
tho Commercial club and many of tho latter
club nro members of tho former, It Is
thought that thero will bo llttlo difficulty in
bringing about a consolidation.
Thn plan is to organize with an initiation
feo of $10 nnd monthly dues of $1. With a
membership such ns Is expected tbo club can
thus bo maintained on a sound financial
basis. Among tho plans Is ono to cither
purchase or erect n building for tho uso of
tho club and Install a pnld secretary whose
duty it shall bo to manage tbo affairs of the
organization. In tho proposed club rooms
will be an assembly hall suitable for hold
ing meetings of both n business and social
nature, a grill .oom, reading nnd blllnrd
room and parlors.
When a proposition of this kind was
brought up some months ago It met with
the hearty approval of tho managors of the
packing houses and tho stock yards corn,
pany, and nlso tbo heads of other corpora
tions. Tho members of tho committees appointed
Inst Friday will soon hold n meeting nnd so
soon ns the members of tho two clubs agreo
upon tbo lines of u consolidation tho search
for a sultablo building will begin. It ts as
serted that ,1 club of this kind Is badly
needed hero nnd there Is great hopo of tho
project's consummation.

There was a rough houso at August Papoz's

nil were Intoxicated. Papez wus lit a light

that ho did not IIUo and straightway ho
drow a revolver nnd began shooting. This
started a rough liouso and a window or two
was broken whllo eomo of tho furniture In

Is employed ut Armour's, reported that he
had been shot In the breast, but ho was nblo

NEW YORK, Jan. 13. Henry Clews, hend
of tho banking houso of Henry Clews & Co.,
writes of the situation In Wall street:
Tho campaign bus now run n. course of
ten weeks of unparalleled activity and
prices have advanced on an average nbout
35 points. According to ordinary rules such
a run of speculation would suggest tho
question whether a stugo had not been
reached nt which realizing and a reaction
In prices wero In order. And, In the pres
ent case, conservative operators have seri
ously entertained thnt question nnd many
of them have realized. Their sales, how
ever, have hud scarcely any vlslblo effect
on prices: on tho contrary the rising ten
dency has continued and not a few of thoso
who had sold out have entered the market
again, thinking It safo for a few points
further advance. Tho strong conviction
that a reaction was Impending brought out
largo "short" sales, which only Increased
the strength nf the market anil drove tho
"hears" Into hurried covering. 80 far the
progress of the campaign has strengthened
tho Bteadlly growing conviction that, under
lying tho market, there Is 11 forco of confi
dence and of spcculntlvo resource sur
passing all former experience and tho feel
ing haR seemed tn gain ground that It
would bo tmsafo at present to attack tho
market,
HiinIn of Speculation llronileii.
The basis of tho speeitlatlvo movement
has been steadily broadening. It began
with the new set nf conditions Introduced
by tho election, which nmounted to a re
vival nf national conlldeneo unequnlcd slnco
tho close of the civil war. Tho course of
tho market produced un Impression that
not only tho. speculative constituencies of
our own centers hut nlso those of Europe
had becomo deeply convinced of the vast
financial progress to which the country has
attnlued, Then Importnnt llnanclers who
hfi.l long been awaiting an opportunity to
consummnto large rorporato consolidations
and undertakings beenme convinced that
the occasion had arrived and the launching
of their plans bus Introduced a new phase
In the general excitement, reviving conll
deneo among speculative holderH and stim
ulating the enthusiasm of the outside con
tingent. It cannot he said that the high range of
prices has yet Introduced any distinct din
trust anil yet values have risen so far abovo
the normal level that each further ndvanco
brings the market nearer to point of
dangerous strain nnd Invites realizing nnd
short selling. Large profits are now within
reach, whllo further buying menus un In
crease of risks. On general principles, it Is
safer to tuko suro profits than to Increase
holdings and thereby Invito sweeping reac
tions. Breaks In prices are becoming moro
frequent, which show that the sounder ope
rators aro getting out of thn market and
the weaker getting deeper Into It, Wo
counsel a policy of prudence,
Stock i:cliiinne In I'cvrrlli.
Tho movement on the Stock exchange lins
been erratlo and feverish and, while thero
nro symptoms thut tho upward niovemont
Is drawing to a close, still It cannot bo
asserted that the end Is til wight. Money Is
easy, good Investments nro Hcnrce, tho
speculative fever Is not abating and big
deals and rumors of such arc In the air, so
that stocks aro firmly held and the largo
manipulators apparently havo llttlo dim
eulty In raising tbo market at will. Pres
ent conditions uro so unusual that ordinary
Judgment cannot bo applied. A wave of
optimism Is Hwecplng the whole country and
thin linn an effect upon values which Is real
hut cannot be measured. Some day In
trinsic, merit will again be considered, but
Just now almost nny statement In regard
to deals or dividend prospects meetH wl'.h
belief without much question. At the samo
time It can hardly bo said that specula
tion has gone to dangerous excesses. Tho
outslclo Interest has made money nnd Is In
strong position. Tho big men may hnvn
parted with n portion of their holdings, lint,
If so. It has been of tho poorer classes of
securities.
Home tiooil Stock On the Mnrkct.
Better grade dlvldcnd-pnylng stocks of
tried merit aro being permanently with
drawn from the market and this fact, to
gether with the large amounts of money
seeking profitable Investment, has much to
do with the present rise In values. Tho
market, however, presentH unusual risks on
both sides. The scarcity of stocks and
prevalent bullishness render short wales
particularly dangerous, whllo unexpected

HEALTHY SELLING ON BOURSE
.NtrlUInu- l'rnlurc or the llerlln Money
Market Wna the Kiinc Which
Chnrncterlrcil It.
, BERLIN, Jan. 13 Much tint most strik
ing feature of the Berlin monev market last
week was the uncommon ease which char
acterized It. The slight stirfetitng In rates
In tho previous week, caused bv the rise In
the rate of tho Bank of England, disap
peared entirely. The private rate of ills
count declined to 34 per cent and call
money went below 3 per cent. An unusual
featuro was tho arrival of money from In
dustrial centers for Investment. Indicating
that tho demand for money In Industrial en
terprlses was uncommonly light. Tho avail
able funds of the hank are tinnsiiallv heavy
Just now and the public shows a strong In
clination for shares, while there Is a gicut
demand for Interest-bearing securities, both
slate and Industrial.
Tho Frankfurter Zeltung nfserts that
over 30o.(i0o.(jo murks wero subscribed last
week for the fi.OOO.Oo) marks of obligations of
the Fnrbwerke or Uoechst. According to tho
samo authority the recent state loans have
also been heavily over-subscribed. The
forthcoming Bavarian, Saxon and Imperial
loans continue to occupy thn closo atten
tion of the market. Whlln the pres. gen
erally scouts the Idea of asking subscrip
tions In Now York the correspondent of the
Associated PrenH understands that the
Saxon government desires New York sub
Hcrlptlonx. Domestic loans were ilrm upon
thn assurance that Dr. von Mlqucl, Prus
sian minister of lluance, would not lsruio n
loan. This firmness was duo also to thn
great abundance of money and to the
knowledge thnt there aro largo uninvested
amounts In tho hands of the public, now
afraid to Invest In Industrial nhnre. Tim
bourse wiim very stagnant, not responding
to New York. Reports from mnnufnetur-
ing centers continue pessimistic, although
tho canal nnd railway building Is expected
to bring much new business. Industrials
held their own, although In varying de
gree. Tho offerings wero fewer. Cement
HhnieB were strong upon tho canal pros
pects, Americans were morn quiet, the general
tendency being Irregular nnd thero wero
many realization sales In Northern Pacific.
Tho market continues to distrust tho Amer
ican situation.
Navigation shares continued strong, par
ticularly yesterdav, when It was reported
tluit tho North German Lloyd Steamship
company would declare a dividend of S,
with a writ of fiW.ow.OOO marks, as ngulnst
7 tier cent In 1W.
The coinage for 1900 was 17S,C-?.0iV) marks,
