INDIAN TREATIES.
A Statement That Their Abrogation
Will Be Recommended.
THE VIEWS OF MU. BAILEY.
A Suspicion in tho Minds of Home l'cople
That tin* Uw1«miu>nii In tho Terri-
tory Ih Exagiterated for
a Purpose.
Washington, Nov. 18.—The state*
ment that the administration would
probably roc com mend the abrogation
of Indian treaties and a forced allot-
ment of Indian lands has created no
end of comment both here and else-
where. The com in# report of tho
Dawes commission, which will un-
doubtedly give little hope to
any plan of peaceful negotiations
and which will emphasize the gravity
of the lawless situation in the terri-
tory, will fora basis form the adminis-
tration recommendation. The commis-
sion is stili at work and expects to have
its reports ready in a few days- Secre-
tary Hoke Smith is now in Georgia and
the publication of the report will he
delayed until his return to Washing-
ton.
Representative Hailey, of Texas, who
represents a district next to the Indian
territory, is very much interested in
the subject, and yesterday afternoon
gave utterance to tin* following opin-
ions. which, to some extent belie form-
er reports:
I saw tho Unite.t States marshal for tho
eastern district of Texas at Purls last Sunday.
He has jurisdiction over a certain class of
cases in the territory and is acquainted with
the condlti ons there, lie is a man not easily
unimpeded and 1 attach much credence to his
judgment. He said he thought then* was some
cxii iteration of tie* condition and th it while it
Is true that there is outlawry in the territory,
it does not exist to tho extent which would pre-
vent its suppression bv the ordinary means of
the employment of deputy marshals in suf-
ficient force. Tho proposition to send United
States troops there to put down a handful of rob-
bers is absurd Tho fact of tho matter is there
Is a suspicion in Lite minds of a great many
people that the exaggeration of the lawless
condition of tho territory is made for a pur-
pose. Some people in Texas think that the
representation of the fearful state of things
said to be there is for the purpose of preparing
the public mind, and especially the mind of
congress. fora proposition to throw open tho
lands of the Indians to purchase un i settle-
ment. Those people who entertain that
view explain that of com it would be a strong
argument In favor of throwing the territory
open for settlement if the public can be brought
to believe that it, would be the only method for
governing tho country and protecting life and
property.
Kvor
Uveryono who Is ncqu tinted wlih Texas soon
becomes aware of the sentiment which exists
In that state in favor of the purchase and set-
tlement of the territory by white people.
It is particularly strong in my own district,
owing to the close business relations
we have with the Inhabitants of the Indian
country. If congress would require
the Indians to sell their lands, tin c< intrv
would soon settle up. For my part. I have
ulways Insisted that cong ess would have
»io more right to require the Indian tribes
to sell their surplus lands than it would N
require a man who owned a two acre laws
in the middle of a city to subtil vide it anl
•ell it to persons who wanted building l<>t?
In that part icu'.ar section. Vet the people wht
hold to this opinion are met with the cry frotr
a certain class that they are standing in tin
way of progress. This. too. in spite of the fact
that those tribes hold their lands by virtue o
n deed from the president of the United state*
—he was a democratic president, too not i
mere treaty, but an outright deed.
In department circles it is considered
strange that no word should bo received
from the judge of the United States
court, or from the United States mar
shai. if the courts are powerless to pro-
tect life and property, as the dispatcher
represent.
TIIK ARMENIAN TKOFIH.E.
Aii Official Account Issued by the Turkish
Cloven* incut.
Constantinople. Nov. is. The fol-
lowing official account of the Arme-
nian trouble was issued yesterday:
{some Armenian brigands provided with
arms of foreign origin joined an in-
surgent Kurd tribe for tin* purpose ol
committing excesses. They burned
and devastated several Mussulman vil-
lages. As an instance of the ferocity
of the Armenians, it is reported that
they burned alive a Mussulman nota-
ble. Regular troops were sent to the
scene to protect peaceable inhabitants
against these depredations.
The Ottoman troops not only pro-
tected and respected the submissive
portion of the population anil the
women and children, but they re-estab-
lished tranquillity and order. It is not
true that the Kurds seized the furni-
ture. effects and cattle of the fugitive
Armenians. The latter took their ef-
fects to the mountains before revolt-
ing.
The Armenian women at present
with the Kurils belong to th. families
of the brigands, and went of their own
accord with their husbands to the in-
surgent Kurds. Respecting the vil-
ages alleged to have been destroyed,
it was the Armenians who carried oft
all their belongings before becoming
brigands.

AN AR10CST ON SUSPICION
A LfHilltiff Lawyer of Seattle, \Ya*li., At

Man Wantetl ill Bostim
for Forgery.
Denver, Col., Nov. 18.—That the
strangler of Lena Tapper, Marie Con 1
tassoit and Kiku Oyama still roam?
about the city is believed by nearly
every one. That the murders wcto tin
work of a maniac is believed by mos*
people. The police are inclined to thi
theory that the society of Frenehmer
known as the “Macquereaux” is a*
the bottom of it, hut this is laugher
nt by the French women, who say tha*
almost every cent they make is turner
over to the "Macquereaux,” and thal
they are not going to cut off theii
source of revenue. That there is n<
evidence against Deroady, who i#
charged with the murder of Lena Tap
per, the district attorney’s assistan4
seems to admit. In the ease of Chal
loup the same is true.
When the Japanese girl was mur
dered, a erysanthemum was found iu
her room. With this as a possible clew
a newspaper reporter started an inves
tigation and finally learned that foi
the past two years there has been a
German living in Denver who seems
to have a mania for women. Tim
man formerly worked at one of the
lintels and is described as being of me-
dium height, with sandy hair and red-
dish mustache. During the past two
years he lias paid the Market street
district periodical visits and nearly
every time has carried flowers to some
of the women. He is sometimes well
dressed and again he is in his working
clothes. Nearly every person on tho
Row knows this peculiar fellow
and iu most instances they consider
him harmless, hut a few refused t«i
have anything to do with him. He
was seen on the Row Monday after-
noon with a bunch-of chrysanthemums.
There seems to be no one who saw him
enter the rooms of tin* .Japanese wom-
an. and the only thing that really
might connect him with her mur-
der is the fact that she ap-
peared on the street a little
later with a chrysanthemum and
when asked who gave it to her
►aid "A friend.” This German had
visited her before and had visited Lena
Tapper and Marie Contassoit at differ-
ent times. He made- a statement on
one of these visits that he had been
robbed of $100 by one of the Califor-
nians on the Row and that he would
get even. Some of the women declare
that he had often abused them.
The city detectives have arrested
Frank llock, a French-Canadian, who
lives in a small house in the alley in
the rear of the Market street row,
where the three murders were commit-
ed. on suspicion of being tlie strangler.
ARRESTED FOR ALLEGED FORGERY.

who was indicted at Roston in 1887 on
four counts of forgery and four counts
of uttering forged notes on a savings

DREAD RIOT IN CHICAGO.
Discharged Water Department Employe*
Dispersed Only liy Main Force.
Chicago. Nov, 18-.—At noon to-day,
250 discharged employes of the water
department gathered about the comp-
troller's office in the city hall and de-
manded the wages due them. Tho
comptroller sent a clerk to inform the
men that there was no money in tho
city*treasury to pay them. Instantly
the inen became riotious. Cries for
bread and threats of instant vengeance
were howled forth by the angry crowd
and the comptroller, gathering his
clerks, barricaded the doors to his
offices and sen tahurried call for police-
men. A half dozen officers appeared,
but were promptly rushed out of the
corridor by the incensed men. A bat-
talion of patrolmen was summoned
and, after a liberal use of force,
the rioters were cluhhpd into
submission and driven from the city
