Washington, D. May IS. Tho Senate has again demonstrated its willingness to open the Uncompahgre mineral lands to settlement. The conferees upon the Indian appropriation biJJ met today to discuss this, the last question in issue among them. Senator Cannon appeared before them and made another appeal in behalf of opening the asphaltum and other lands in the Uncompahgre reservation.

The result was that the conferees agreed to recommend to their respective houaes a substitute amendment t'or tho Senate amendment, and the House conferees will contrive on. Thursday to bring the House to agree to Its terms. Later In the day the Senate agreed to the amendment, which is as follows "The Secretary of the Interior Is hereby directed to at once allot agricultural lands in severally to the Uncompahgre Utc Indians now located upon or belonging to the Uncompahgre Indian reservation in Utah, said allotments to be upon the Uncompahgre and Uintah reservations, or elsewhere In said State. "That all the lands of the said Uncompahgre reservation not heretofore allotted In said Uncompahgre Utes shall, on and after the 1st day of April, 1S9S, be open for location and entry under all the land laws of the United States," NOT THROUGH THE HOUSE. This amendment, it will be noticed, does not give immediate opening- of the gllsonite lands, as did the proposition voted down in the House yesterday, but Is the best proposition that could possibly be made, and is a great concession on the part of the House conferees to the Senate.

Whether It will be accepted by the House or not is a question. Judging from the tenor of the remarks upon the floor yesterday and on previous days, no proposition not carrying the anti-trust provision can possibly pass that The gfensral opinion today by members of both houses of Congress is that the proposition submitted yesterday by Representative- Sherman, providing for a royalty of 75 cents per ton and the provision 1 of one mining claim for each man, ought to have been passed. MR. KING'S. POSITION.

Representative King has been criti- cised by some of his fellow members for taking the position he did, the belief being that If he had not the fight against the compromise amendment, it would have gone through. Mr. King said this eveilng that he did not think the proposition could have received the sanction of the House, as most of those Democrats who voted with him were against royalty. "tt would have been a great calamity," said Mr. to your correspondent, "if the Senate amendment had gone through yesterday.

The charge of 75 cents per ton was of course but I fought for the principle. If it had gone through, within six months bills would be introduced to repeal our present system of mineral and laws, which have so greatly bulld- up the West, I would rather the proposition should fall than yield in my position. my associates do not 'eel that way, as they think it would be better, to yield to Insist upon a free -with the chances of osing any opening whatever for the However, if the HOUS.G reuses to agree to the amendment igreed upon today by the conferees, I vlll then attempt to secure.an agree- uent to the former report."

A. MORROW GETS A PLUM. Ho was elected to the Forty-ninth Congress as a Republican, defeating his opponent by a large plurality. He was appointed Dintrict Judge on September 38, 1SD1. Mr.

Corbett's Case Presented, Washington, May Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections today heard an argument by Attorney Woods of Portland. in support of the claim of Hon. H. W. Corbett to a seat in the Senate as successor to Senator Mitchell, under the appointment of the Governor of Oregon, but the committee took no action.

Mr. Woods contended that the appointment was because there had been no session of the Oregon Legislature. He held that failure to organize Die Legislature was equivalent to holding no session, and that Cor this reason there had been an interregnum. He also argued that it was the intention of the framers of the Federal Constitution that a State of the Union should be at nil times represented in the as he expressed It, the sovereign States should ever be represented by their embassadors in the Senate. The committee expect tn pass finally upon Mr.

Corbett's case at their next weekly Prosecutions of Sheepmen, Dropped. Washington, May the recommendation of Commissioner Herman of the General Land Office, the Attorney-General has the United States' District Attorney for Oregon to suspend for the present the les-al proceedings pending 1 in that dis- Irict growing out of sheep-pasturing within the limits of the Cascade range forest reserve. The Commissioner of the Land Office has submitted to the Secretary of the Interior an elaborate statement showing- the facts regarding the Cascade forest reserve in Oregon, reciting its, history from its Inception to the present, and the legislation in Congress as to ali forest reservations. -In this statement the Commissioner recommends that the former order the department forbidding pasturing, on the reserve be revoked entirely, or so modi- tied as to permit pasturing under regulations to be prescribed by the depart-, meat. Trouble in G-etting- Grain.

Ships. Washing-ton, May Navy department has had so much trouble in securing ships to carry contributions of grain from this country to India that it-riow has under consideration the propriety of appealing to Congress to amend the resolution under which it is proceeding. That resolution- requires the grain to be carried in an American vessel. It happens that there are very few'American, steamers: outside of the regrular lines, the department is unable to comply with the terms of the act unless it turns to- a sailing: vessel. Such a ship could not in much less than three and a half months, by the famine sufferers for whom the intended mig-ht be expected to be either' starved to death or in, possession c-f" new crops of rice.

Therefore, unless art American steamer can be procured at New York-within the days it is probable Congress will'be asked to remove the 1 injunction, and the REQUISITIONS REFUSED Barton and Graves will Not be Brought Back.

Posjenan of the ma- vine hospital service )ias been detailed for duty as quarantine officer at San Francisco, to enforcjk the rules and regulations promulgrawp Dy the Secretary of the Treasury-lilt is' stated at the department that he quarantine regulations of the treaittry, as' well as Albany, May will not get Clarence Barton and Leon Graves, who are under arrest in New York city, charged with the theft of $5200 from the Utah Loan and Trust company at Ogden. Graves is now in. the Tombs, and Barton is at Bellevue hospital, ill. The Ogcfen authorities wired back for requisition papers and they- were sent on, and today they were, presented to Gov. Black to surrender the prisoners to the Utah authorities.

The Governor, after hearing the evidence, with Judge Joyce, his pardon clerk, decided that the requisition papers were insufficient to surrender the prisoners. Scott Battle, New York attorneys, represented Graves and Barton, and they immediately left for New York to begin habeas corpus proceedings for the release of the prisoners, CHARGES NOT POSITIVE. Judge Joyce said that the trouble with the papers wzft that were not positive, one count charging that they actually stole the money and 'another that stolen money. they only received the He said that the Governor could not allow people taken out of the State on knowledge so imperfect. The attorneys for the prisoners hinted at a conspiracy against the young men, declaring that they were willing to g-q back Ogden to stand trial, but they refused to go under arrest.

New York District Attorney probably, will oppose habeas corpus proceedings. men say that they are Innocent, but Chief of Police Davenport Graves made a confession him. 1 Graves, however, de- lites this. ing- all thf evidence- that could be produced against them in court here. At least evidence was produced and after hearing it.

and without taking 1 the matter under advisement Gov. Black Immediately discharged tho boys. The telegrams received, yesterday, it is said, state that in disehargrinjr them from custody the County Attorney and. the Utah State officials were unmercifully scored for granting or asking- requisition papers on. evidence- which appeared so- flimsy and so inadequate on so grave a charge.

The- Governor is reported to have said there was a to-tal lack of evidence connecting- them with the crim-e- and that the papers failed to show any specific crime committed. At the hearing- the two boys satisfactorily accounted for all the money they had spent during- their absence from Ogrden, and the stories of tho money being: on deposit in an Iowa, bank and also ot' the wild escapades of Barton in Florida, wore shown to have been, concocted without foundation in fact. Neither of the boys were shown to be on the route as published, and neither had $1000 in money. It was stated yesterday, that as soon a.s the boys collect such evidence as they have been advised to get by their attorneys here and there, that: will return to Ogrden accompanied by INDEX AND BULLETIN.

ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT. Counsel for the Governor of UtaJx stated, after it had beeai announced that Gov.

It was especially unusual in this of Utah had made a- persons-l appeal for the- requisition, inasmuch as he wag one of the heaviest stockhold'- ers in the Loan and Trust association.

The air was full of rumors yesterday afternoon of some very sensational developments to come within the next day or two, and these rumors were to the effect that Dr. Graves would take the matter in hand and that the end of the case was not yet Dr. Graves was seen yesterday and while not willing: to talk at length upon the facts In the case, stated that a telegram had been received by him stating: the facts in the matter, and that he would be gruided largely In his future course by the advice of his attorneys.

While not showing any vindictiveness, he announced his determination to punish those whom he believed had been engaged in a foul conspiracy to the full extent of the law He refuged to state what course he would pursue, but he is certainly a man who Is fully equipped take care of himself and his family where their interests are concerned. It was stated yesterday that Cashier "West had suspected other parties of the robbery before having suspected Graves and Barton, but had done nothing 1 as to. the others -suspected; It was also stated as-a positive: fact that, while Graves and Barton left Ogden December 26, 1S96, the shortage was not known for more than two months a.nd under that statement of fact it would doubtless be exceedingly difficult to say when the money was taken. Mr. Charles.
