WARSAW, Poland. April . Special
Correspondence of The Bee.V-A report
which has been In circulation here tor
some time that the emperor of Qermany
would be pleased to add all of Foland to
hla domain Is given greater Interest by the
recent publication of a chapter of the
"secret history" of Russia, which has been
discovered at 8t. Petersburg. According
to this account, which bears all evidences
of truth. Alexander II. with the advice and
assistance of his minister of state. Count
Lorls Mellkoff, had prepared an act grant
ing a constitution to the Rimslnn empire?
Including Poland. This fact has been gen
erally believed, but until now no one out
side of governmental circles knew why
the act was never promulgated.
In the present revelation we are again
shown that all measures for the relief of
the Russian people have heretofore been
passed upon by the emperor of Oermany.
In the case In point, the promulgation of
the deerea was checked by William I, by
aid of his dark spirit. Otto von Bismarck.
Statesneat of the History.
Freely translated, the "secret history"
recounts:
"On March 20, 1881, at a special meeting
of the Russian ministers the principal
question presented was the Lor Is Mellkoff
program for a constitutional and repre
sentative assembly of the Russian, people.
The first word on the subject was spoken
by the minister of war, Molutln, known as
a man of liberal Ideas. lie said: 1
" 'Our late emreror, Alexander II, upon
assuming the throne, planned many pro
gressive measures. He, by reforms started
t the beginning of his reign. Intended to
reorganize the whole system of the gov
ernment of the fatherland. Ills unfortu
nate assassination by Korokoioff ended the
great plans of the liberal monarch. Since
the liberation of the peasants, other re
forms have been slowly brought about and
many of them have been misconstrued by
the subordinate officeholders.
" 'Naturally, In such a state of affairs
the best and most liberal Intentions of
monarchs would fall, and really from the
day of the death of Alexander II. the pro
gressive life of Russia languished. Dis
satisfaction was apparent, but progress
was unknown. Iter the community's
spirits began to revive; the people brenthed
easier and the actions of the government
recalled to them the best times In the
reigns of the best emperors.
" 'At the close of the reign of Alexander
If plans were prepared for those great
reforms wltlch we hope to soon realize.
The good news was made public and all
right-minded people rejoiced. AH neigh
boring nations applauded the Idea'
Emperor William's Par.
"At this point Alexander stopped the
speaker and aald:
"That Is all true with one exception.
When Emperor William heard that my
father Intended to give a constitution to
Russia he beseeehed him. In his own
hand-writing, not to do It. He also ad
vised my father, in case it should be
found impossible to rrevent the meeting
of representatives of the people, to limit
Its power to a minimum by keeping th.i
Imperial power above that of any as
sembly.' "After these words from the emperor
the strongest opponent of progressive
measures was the chief procurator of the
orthodox synod, M. Pobledononzeoff."
The following shows plainly that, as
Metternleh acted In 1M0. so Bismarck
acted-In 1881, both working against re
forms in fhe Russian empire. Now the
Russian nation, as well as the Polish
people, who are historically closely bound
with each other, will keep in mind the
fact that tho hope of twenty-live years
ago was dashed through the activity of
tho crowned head of Prussia.
Strrasrth of Reactionaries.
At the present time things are assuming
an Interesting phase. Reaction la strong
In St. Petersburg and by aid of offlce
holders In the provinces wonders can be
performed. This point can bust be illus
trated by an incident:
Alexander Lcdwlckl, a Polish attorney
at law, has Juat returned from Moscow,
where, as a probable candidate for the
Puma, he had Intended to deliver an ad
dress outlining his political rrerd. particu
larly his idea on the Polish question. The
chief of police of Moscow prohibited the
meeting.
At the time of his return several of us
called on him, and on being questioned as
to our political horoscope he said;
"The best reply to these quMtlons is
that made by a friend. 'Her majesty, the
revolution;' for If the revolutionary move
ment refuses to be crushed; if the political
pendulum swings to its extreme, It will
bring social chnuges with it; but the fu
ture is so dark that only faith in the
genius of the Polish people and the final
triumph of its culture points to the bright
future at the end of a thorny path.
Depeade on the Dim,
"But to get a more direct answer we
must take into consideration the question
of whether the Duma, bused on suffrage,
so free as that outlined in the proclama
tion, will even meet. The main character
of the elections to the proposed Duma is
the 'class representation' by which voters
must vote in their own social class. By
this method conservatives hope that peas
ants will aid the forces of reaction, ant?
thus, should the liberal or revolutionary
party make gains in some quarters. It
would be drowned in the flood of Votes
from representatives of the peasants,
guided by the adepts of 'legal rights. '
"Who can say which side is right between
those who claim that the government will
surely win and those who Insist that in
such a crisis aa this despotism must
always fall? In the. majority of cases
among all national parties thought of the
platform is lost in the personality of the
men raited up to fight despotism. In this
fact may He surprise and discoinrtture for
the government; for the great middle class
voters, excepting those of St. Petersburg,
will send men to the Duma, to stand by
the guarantee of the constitution. Of the
people reajly faithful to the present system,
some desiring slight modifications, are,
first, the office holders, who are the real
'standpatters' of Russia; second, the large
land owners, having among them the mar
shal of the nobility; third, the orthodox
clergy and last, merchants like the one In
Moscow who, in the presence of the
Zerastvoe congress, fell on his knees be
fore Alexander Gutsuhkoff, kissing his
bands in gratitude for his bill against
Polish automony.
Host for Polaaa.
'The opposition to the present order will
be weakened by the absence of represen
tatives from the Caucausus. the Ionian
provinces and Eaithonla, and may be
further weakened through the action of
representatives of 'the dependent nations'
who may fight for material concessions to
their constituents, neglecting the reat
national questions.
"If tbe Polish people will deride to Join
wltft lie other 'dependent nations' la sun-
porting the Russian liberals our cause
should gain strength from the start. It
the coalition should not be in a decided
majority It would be a strong factor and
would stand for true representation In
place of counterfeit as once predicted by
Blsmark. 8uch a coalition would mean
the first organised constitutional stand for
'a universal, equal, unexceptional and
secret ballot.'
"Another contingency Is possible. The
"Octoberlsts' may be in a majority, but
be In favor of centralisation of Russian
power. They will then declare against
Polish autonomy, but will by reason of
their other policies strike a blow at the
dark forces of Polish denationalisation and
will place a new weapon In the hands of
the men who axe fighting for autonomy,
giving Polish politicians new strength,
leading the nation on a new road to a
new epoch from which no force can bring
It away."
Thus spoke the man who. In common
with his followers, believes that union with
Russians liberals Is the brightest star in
the future of the Polish nation.
Sew Restrictions on Press.
While we are discussing, often under our
breath, the probable future of the nation,
the unpleasant present la being constantly
thrust upon our attention. Today, by tele
phone from I.odz, comes the Information
that the new press censor of that city has
issued a new decree to all editors forbid
ding, under penalty of fine and Imprison
ment, any newspaper mention of persons
being fined "In an administrative way" of
Imprisonments, of deaths caused by mili
tary patrols, or plans of the government,
orders, public instructions, etc.
After closing this letter, but before mail
ing it, there occurs in Warsaw another In
cident illustrating the condition ,of the em
pire. About noon on Ilrsrka street the di
rector of the Vistula River railroad, a Mr.
Ivanoff, was shot to death by an unidenti
fied man, who escaped. Ivanoff. as director
of the road, had discharged 800 employes
of the company, leaving their families
without means of support. He was notified
that the executive committee of the revolu
tionary party had sentenced him to death,
and the shooting was the execution of that
sentence.
v It Is such deplorable occurrences as these
which prove that Poland must have gov
ernment In which its people have confi
dence, as under ordinary circumstances the
people will not take the law into their own
hands. . F. S.

Consumption la n Germ Disease, How
Can It Start nl!i a Cold
This Is a reasonable question and one that
must arise to the mind of almost every
one when the claim is made that consump
tion starts with a cold. The cold simply
prepares the system for the reception and
development of germs Of that disease, that
would not otherwise have found lodgement
It is the same with diphtheria, scarlet fevef
and measles. They are most likely to be
contracted when the child has a cold.
That Is why a cold should never be neg
lected. The longer it hangs on the greater
the danger. As a quick cure far colds
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy can always
be relied upon. Its remarkable cures have
won for it a world wide reputation and
an Immense sale. It is pleasant and sat
to take.

ECHO OF THE NEW DIM MASSACRE
Story of the 1 prtslnaj of Forty-Five
Tears Ago Recited In tannrc
tlon with tho Renewed
Claim.
A bill has been Introduced In the United
State senate, at the Instance of Ralph W.
Breckenrldgo of Omaha as attorney for the
remnant of tbe band of Bnntee gloux In
dians, looking to the restoration of the an
nuities to these Indians declared forfeited
as a result of the Minnesota Indian mas
sacres of 1S82. The bill has been recom
mended for passage. The Santees of Ne
braska now comprise about l.oio members,
and the amount of annuities due them in
this state alone will exceed Sl.UOO.OU).
A very Interesting story lies back of this
bill, which In Itself Is a pica for Justice
and the restoration of the abrogated
treaties of the United States with the
Medawakanton and Wahpakoota bands of
Sioux Indians, otherwise known as the
Santee Bioux. These original treaties
covered a period of several years, begin
ning aa early as 1815 and was continued In
various forms down to 18Jt, when tbe
Medawakanton Bioux ceded to the United
States all their land east of the Mississippi
river and all their Islands in that river,
for which the United States agreed to pay
interest at the rate of 6 per oent per an
num on $300,000 forever, besides certain
other payments largely in the nature of
bribes and presents to the relatives or
friends of the chief and braves, and to
those who had signed the treaties.
Valnable Land Thns Acqnlrcd.
By this treaty of 1837 the United States
acquired territory from the Indian proprie
tors to a tract of land fronting the east
shore of the Mississippi river for about 100
miles and an sverage width of fifty miles,
6,000 square miles or 8,300,000 acres, for
which it was agreed to pay the Interest on
10 cents per acre, besides bribes and pres
ents. The government has never paid tho
$300,000 and stopped paying the Interest
over forty years ago. The particular In
dians to which the government is thus In
debted were the "Issantl" (Santee) Sioux.
The next treaty made with the Issantls
was in August, 1831, whereby they relin
quished all their lands and all right and
title thereto whatever in the territory of
Minnesota or state of Iowa. Ths same
year a treaty was also made with the Sioux
of the Sisseton and Wahpeton bands, and
through these two treaties a domain of
50,875 square miles, or S'J.rAOOO acres was
acquired by the United States, of which
14,230,000 acres was the country of the Issan
tls, and for which they were to receive
10 cents per acre, or rather the Interest on
that sum for fifty years. These lands were
subsequently sold to settlers at $1.28 per
acre, and the government made a clean
$40,000,000 out of tho deal with Its wards,
who could neither read nor write.
Another article of this treaty reserved to
the Issantls for their future home and oc
cupancy a tract of 63O.0OO aures near the
present city of Mankato, Minn., but the
senate struck out that article, and in lieu
of those lands inserted a stipulation to pay
for them at the rate of 10. cents per acre,
and an appropriation was made to make
this requisite payment, amounting to $is,
000, which was added to the original prin
cipal Of $1,160,000-provided by tho treaty,
thus producing an Increased Income of
$3,4oO, making the total annual income to
these Indians of $iU,450.
Xw Reservation for Santees.
The Santees were not removed from their
ancestral domain as was contemplated by
the treaty of 1S61 and by act of congress of
July 31. 1814, the president was authorized
to confirm to the Sioux of Minnesota for
ever the reserve on the Minnesota river
occupied by them, and In 1858 so much of
the land held and possessed by the Indians
south of the Minnesota river was to con
stitute their reservation. The Santees
agreed to let the senate deelde whether
they had a legal title to this reservation,
and if so, how much and under what condi
tions they should be paid for that part of
the. reservation lying on the north side of
the Minnesota river.
A resolution was adopted by the senate
on June 47. I860, stating that the Indians
had a just and valid right to the reserva
tions described, and that they be allowed 10
cents per sere for the lands contained in
that portion north of the Minnesota river,
exclusive of ths cost of survey and sale or
any contingent expense that may accrue
whatever, which, by the treaties of June,
ln8, they have relinquished and given up
to the Vnlted States. By this arrangement
the Santees were left the undisputed own
ers of the remainder of the land which
contained 370,0nO acres.

the Santees were occupying their dimin

Minnesota river. But they were like csgd
eagles. Their annuities were not paid
them. They had not and have not yet
been paid for their lands; not one penny of
the HXt.noO, the proceeds of the sale of the
33C.00O acres north of the Minnesota river
was ever paid to them, though this money
had been placed to their credit on the
books of the Indian office at the date of
the outbreak In 13, a balance of t63.ma,
and the further sum of about CO.OftO In the
bands of the superintendent of Indian af
fairs, which was subsequently refunded by
Mm and credited to the Santees, making
about S4,oS to tbe credit of the Santees.

The conditions Immediately preceding the
outbreak are thus stated by T. H. Kirk In
a History of Minnesota:

annuities which should have been paid
were not forthcoming, these passions waxed
stronger and stronger. The trailers re
(used the turther credit. Kven government
otliclals taunted them in a cruel manner
when they sought aid or redress.
Mr. Ureckenrulge In. his address before
the senate committee said:
It Is to be borne In mind that In 13
these Indians were no nearer civllizulion
than were the British islanders under
Human rule. The wnito seniors of Min

Cause of the Minnesota. Outbreak.
Tbe Immediate cause of ttie outbreak
was a mere trifle a quarrel between a
few boys over the world-old subject as to
which of them were the bravest a mis
understanding and then hell.
Robert llakcwaate, a Santee Sioux of
advanced years now living at the Santee
agency in Knox county, after giving a
brief history of the treaties with the In
dians and tbe tardy payments of annuities,
which approximated ju per annum gives
this version of the outbreak.
I was living at Redwood Falls, Minn.,
before the outbreak of 1W2. According to
the best of my belief it was caused by lour
young men of the Sioux tribe, (one of
whom was a relative of Hakewate.)
t-leven young men started out to trap about
the lake regions in Minnesota. As tliey
w-ere going along they came to a farm
house where by the roadside a hen was
setting. Une of the rounic men said he
was going to take -the hen and eggs to
eat. which another of the young men did
not think was right, as there was not a
very friendly feeling between the Indians
and tho whites. Then the young men got
to quarreling and called eacn other cowards,
and they were finally divided into two com
panies. They parted culling each other
cowards and lett each other. The party
ci tour came to a farm and sat down by
the road to smoke. While they were smok
ing they Heard rapid niing in the direction
in which the other party had gone, and
the (our thinking they were cowards, and
that tiie others were fighting, one of the
boys thought they were righting wltn
white men, und junt aa the shooting ceased
there were two white men coming out of
the woods, each wirti an axe on his Bhoul-
der. The white men greeted them kindly
and passed on when one of the (our Indian
boys took bis gun and shot one of the
white men dead, und another shot the other

toward the barn and took some horses
and rode them home by midnight. The
siroy of the killing of the white men got
out very fast, and by the morning of

was one of the few who did not participate
in the trouble, but tried my best to prevent

arrcader sad Peace.
Then the soldiers came and we were
forced along the Minnesota river, and
those who desired to be friendly put up
their tents and sent two mixed diooos,
Thomas Robinson and Thomas A. Robert
son, who were Madewakantonwans by
birth, to make paco w ith the. United States
officers. When It was accomplished we
gave ourselves up Into the hands of Gen
eral H. II. Sibley, and to the best of my
knowledge none of the Sissetons and
W'ahpetonwans were In our midst to make
peace. As we were In the hands of General
Sibley we were brought back to Mankato,
Minn., and thirty-eight men were sen
tenced to death there. And I remember
that there were some Wahpetonwans
among those who were hung, but I do not
remember Just how many, and all those
who were not condemned to death were
sentenced to Imprisonment at Davenport,
la., for a term of four years. There were
4u0 persons Imprisoned and many were Sls
etons and Wahpetonwans. After the term
o( Imprisonment had expired the prisoners
returned to their agencies. To the best of
my knowledge there are now only about
twenty men who participated In the mas
sacre of 1M2 or were eye witnesses to the
outbreak, living at the Bantee agency.
What the Bill Is for.
The bill In question Is simply to restore
the annuities of the Santee Indians, now
resident of Nebraska, who were not par
ticipants In the Minnesota massacres,
though these Santees were Included in the
forfeitures of annuities to the Sioux be
cause of the participation of that tribe
and some of Its branches In the massacre.
These Indians were subsequently removed
to Nebraska and to Flandrau, 8. V., where
they still reside. The hill states that under
the treaty of 137, which gave the Santees
$16.00t per annum forever, they have been
paid twenty-seven Installments, and there
are now due. Including the payment due
July 1. 19oS, forty-two installments, ag
gregating pvHi.iHiO, to which should be
added the principal of $300,000.
l.'nder the treaty of 1S61, twelve install
ments were paid, leaving thirty-eight in
stallments of f'il.0 under that treaty
amounting to t:,3.'15.1a. There was a credit
to the Santee Indians on February Id. 183,

STAMP VALUES IN MILLIONS
I'allatelle International Kxhlbltloa
to Opea In Losdos Next
Month.
An event which takes rank with the
Derby in England and the Horse Bhow In
New York in point of importance and pub
lic interest is the International Philatelic
exhibition in London, which opens May
23 end lasts until early In June.
When one contemplates that his royal
highness, the prince of Wales and pro
spective king of Great Britain, is pres
ident of the Ixindon Philatelic society
and one of the most enthusiastic
stamp collectors In the world, and that
such dignitaries aa the earl of Craw
ford, Lord Stauley, postmaster general
of Great Britain; Rt. Hon. Austen Cham
berlain, member of Parliament and former
postmaster general; the marquis of Lon
donderry, the duke of Norfolk and others
are the promoters of this exhibition and
will show their magnificent collections of
postage stamps, the standing and impor
tance of philately becomes apparent.
Nine years have elapsed since the Prince
of Wales personally opened the last In
ternational Philatelic exhibition In London.
Preparations for this even have been In
progress for tW3 years. The committee of
arrangements Includes the leading stamp
collectors from all over the world, notable
among them being half a dosen citizens of
the United States possessing famous col
lections of stamps, valued into ths millions
of dollars. Mr. John N. Luff of New York,
a stamp expert, has been honored by being
appointed one of the judges In the com
petition. In London and the continent of Europe
stamp collecting has outgrown the term
fad" as employed in the Vulted States.
It Is distinctly the correct aud almost
necessary thing among the members of the
court and fashionable class, and the exhi
bition in London next month during the
two weeks of its continuance will be the
most Important soolal as well as philatelic
event in the world's metropolis. The
women, while enthusiastic collectors, many
of them, will not overlook the feature of
dress and society affairs.
Conservative philatelists variously esti
mate, the value of collections that will be
on exhibition all the way from tX.OuO.OU) to
I10.00u.000. In case Baron Renotter of Paris
should exhibit his collection, whleh Is the
finest in the world and valued at $3,000,000,
th total money value of the exhibits would
exceed even the highest estimate.
The csar of Russia Is an enthusiastic col
lector, as are also the king of fipaln and
the queen of Italy. The czar's collection
of Russian and continental stamps Is said
to be superb, but as other matters have
engrossed his attention for a coup,le of
years It is probable that be will not ex
hibit his philatelic treasures at the London
meeting.
The exhibition will be held In the great
Royal Horticultural hall, situated near
Buckingham palace and Westminster Ab
bey, in the very center of royalty. It Is
expected that King Kdward and Queen
Alexandra will popularise the exhibition by
viewing the collections.
The exhibition will comprise British,
colonial, United Btatta and continental and
foreign stamps, British telegraph, railway
letter fee and college stamps, together
with objects of Interest In connection with
Philately and the manufacture of st'tmps.
A special feature will he the formation of
two championship classes, where exhibits
that obtained gold medals In Iaondon in
1C. or at Manchester in must be en
tered for rompe tttlon.
All stamps will be exhibited under glass
In locked rases and night and day watch
men will guard the treasures. One gold
and two silver medals will be awarded for
the finest collection of I" n I ted States
stamps. There are, all told, fifteen gold
medals, thirty-eight silver medals and
forty bronxe medals and a gold cup In tbe
championship class.
F'amp collectors throughout the t'nited
Htau-s kie tremendously interested In the
Ixindon ent, which will be attended by
many promtnent Americans, and as a re
sult of tbe exhibition It la probable plans

will be formed for the holding of a slmtlur

In New York or Boston, within the next
two or three years. Stamp collecting Is
Increasing rapidly in the United States and

NORTHWESTERN WANTS LAND
Notifies Property Owners to Rrnoii
Bolldluas Within Thirty
Dnys. j
Notices have been issued by the North
western railroad to the owners of houses
on the recenty purchased property of the
company between Webster and Davenport
streets and between Thirteenth and Four
teenth, that houses must be moved from
tho land Inside of thirty days. When the
contracts were made for the property, the
houses In all cases were given to the sellers
on condition that they would remove them
within a time limit set by the company.
Many will bo removed to other locations,
but some of the poorer ones will be
abandoned by their owners and will be
lorn down by the company.
The real estate men are meeting with
much difficulty In buying property In the
blocks between Davenport and Cass streets,
where some of the largest holdings are
looated. John A. Creighton has given a
deed for his lots, but those belonging to
the James Creighton estate and George
Warren Smith have not yet been secured.
According to. Ben White, general at
torney for the road, the exact location of
the new freight depot has not been decided.
"Of course there will be no surveys made
until the property Is cleared off," said Mr.
White, "and the plans for the depot have
not been drawn yet. I cannot say whether
the depot will come as far south as
Davenport or not.
"There is one thing I can say, and it Is
that no passenger depot Is being consid
ered. Rumors to ths contrary are un
founded." It is understood that the depot is to be
built parallel to Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets, with tho south end on Davenport,
and with tracks running on both sides.
