New Idea la Relation of Goverament

Load Brings About Great
. Change.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 (Special.)-The
decision of the supreme court that the
government stands In relation to the In
dian, as a trustee stands to his ward, has
brought about a great change in the minds
of the secretary of the Interior and the
commissioner of Indian affairs. Heretofore
the commissioner of Indian affairs has held
that the Indian must be consulted as to
changes contemplated In treaties or in mak
ing of new treaties, throwing Indian resor
vations open to settlement. The opinion of
the supreme court, however, holding that
the government stands to the Indian as a
trustee and Is therefore in, a position to
do that which Is best for the Indian with
out the ward being considered, makes con
templated legislation looking to the open
Ing of Indian lands to settlement much
easier than heretofore.
This practically applies to the Rosebud
reservation. In Gregory county. South Da
kota. Here Is a body of land 416,000 acres
In extent, - which the South Dakota and
the Nebranka delegations In Congress have
been endeavoring to throw open to set
tlement for a number of years. The In
dian office hs. held that the consent of the
Indian, must be first obtained before any
action could be taken segregating this land
from other portions of the reservation
Then again the Indian office haa been o
the opinion (hat the land should bring $6
an acre, which, according to the best
Judges, was out of all reason. In fact, H
was prohibitive In character and the treaty
which an agent of the interior department
sought to make with the Indians failed be
cause the Indian office had held out to the
wards of the government a hope which Is
not to be realized.

Old Paintings In Capitol.
Stowed away tn an obscure room In the
sub-basement of the capttol are forty or
fifty boxes, which have lain ln the dust fur
thirty years or more. These boxes contain
works of art of more or less merit Some
of them are entitled to rank with the best
brush products to be found in the capltol,
It would be difficult to find the owners of
many of these pictures. Nearly every one
waa sent to the capltol years ago ln the
hope that congress would authorize th
purchase of the canvas, to add to the gal
lery of portraits and pictures which adorn
or disfigure the a alls of the building, ac
cording to the point of view.
A day or two ago one of these boxes wa.
opened. A canvass ixb feet was revealed.
It was so thoroughly covered with the ac
cumulated dust of three decade, that' a
glance failed to show that a brush mark
had ever, been made upon it. It was car
ried to the little, room ln the terrace where
Mr. Duckateln, tho official custodian of all
the capltol paintings, has a workship, or
studio. A careful application of a saturated
sponge brought out a portrait, of Lincoln.
The beauty of the work revealed under the
dust caused exclamations of astonishment
from every one who was given the oppor
tunity to view th picture. It proved to be
the work of Travis, a celebrated artist of
the '60s. Tho picture is a superb work. It
Is by many degrees the moat perfect like
ness of the first martyred president ever
seen In Washington. There are still living
In this dty many men who knew T.lnonin
ln life. All of them who have seen thia por
trait' Join In declaring that It la by far the
best counterfeit presentment of Mr. Lin
coln to be found anywhere. The owner of
the picture proves to be a Washington man,
who is now trying to getongres. to buy It
A resolution to this effect passed the senate
some years ago, but it failed In the house
and for year, the portrait ha. remained
boxed up and forgotten.
In that same room In the sub-cellar la a
life-sized, full-length portrait ' of Roscoe

age. Its history Is forgotten and Its owner
unknown. Btlll another box contains a pic

Thst, too. Is without a known owner, and
although evidently the work of an expert
with the brush, it is stowed away amid
dust and cobwebs, and there It Is likely to

Book af Half-Printed Notes.
A sensational story appeared In a local
paper a few days ago to the effect that a
negro had been captured while trying to
pawn a book containing copies of all the
United States notes and silver certificates.
Th story said that -secret service agents
were supplied with then books and that
one of them had evidently been lost or
mislaid and that It had found Its way Into
Improper hands. Chief Wllkle of the secret
service division of the treasury wss aked
today what there la to the story. "Som
fifteen years ago an official of the depart
ment obtained permission to have printed
at the bureau of engraving and printing
copies of all United Btatea notes. These
faces and backs were reproduced on card
board and were bound into books. ' The
object was to furnish a mean, of enabling
banker, end other large users of money to
detect counterfeits. The scheme was a good
one from one standpoint but a bad one
from every other. In 1891 congress enacted

come under the ban were closed tight.
Crelghton hall waa ln full bloom as usual
at 8 o'clock Inst night. The same old ticket
taker greeted the arrivals and took two
bits per from the boys and 10 cents each
from the girls. He greeted them not as

LONDON, Jan. 18. v Th Jally
Graphic this morning announces that
negotiations have arrived at a stage
leaving two point on which neither
Russia nor Japan are Inclined to yield and
to which no mean of compromise have
been found. Both these points Concern
Manchuria and their acceptance would not
ln the slightest modify the legal statu, quo
or change the administrative situation In
Manchuria, but Japan insists that "they be
embodied In a treaty between Japan and
Russia," while Russia ag a matter of
amour propre refuse, to accept such dicta
tion at the hands of Japan. Much Is hoped
from the Czar's Influence.. The statement
adds:
"Of course arty attempt of Russia to In
crease very largely her naval forces In the
far east by moving her Black aea or Baltlo
fleets would make war only a question ef
a few hours." This statement seem, to be
borne out by the Associated Press dispatch
from Toklo yesterday.

M. Pavloff, Russian minister at Seoul, ha.
