and Foe came to hut. While the hall was passing to and fro both runners noved up a base and then Fee lifted a ligh fly to Smith. He muffed and Haberling scored. With one score, two men on bases, only one out, and Begy and Heine to bat. the prospects were now bright for Olean to run in two or three But the slight drizzle of rain had by this time changed to a steady downpour.

Umpire Purrington called time, and after waiting for some time for the rain to cease the game was called. Had the boys been permitted to play out the inning the spectators were confident that Olean would have shut the visitors out by a score of three to nothing. Following is the official score: AB IB SH an injurious legislation, and certainly was hot a in the of the trills, but a to benefit certain larnl- holders ho.se property leased from the i i i a would revert to them in 1SU2 unless some such step was taken to prevent it. The bill, he said, would now go into Governor Hill's hands, and he did not doubt his excell'-ncy would veto so obnoxious a measure. said ho, "by th- Whipph- bill each Indian would have a farm of 1 ss than iiftec-n acres.

The whole point of tho thing is that under i i i the reservation land, excepting Onondaga, i.i di- vided in severally, and the bill it a crime the Indians to in any travail capacity as a nation. Some time ago the Indians on the Allegheny reservation made a proposition that they would renew the 1892 leases held by the whites for years ut the ol 1 rate if tiie entire amount was paid down. About 100 lease holders hold a meeting about two months and considered this proposition. It was almost unanimously rejected. They expect to do better, and under the Whipple bill they will certainly do much better.

I am speaking, of course, of theactioii they are empowered to take legally, and not what they may do in generosity." William C. Bryant deeply regrets the passage of the Whipple "It is one of those perfectly inexcusable blunders, said he, "which have become law through the combine among our leigis- lators. It is a most atrocious piece of legislation. It has been urged by a lot of soulless politicians and land grabbers in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties and bv the inhabitants of the village of Salamanca and fother white settlement on the Seneca lands. They regard the Indians as obstructionists, and are de termined to get their lands, no matter what the consequences may be to th poor helpless Indians.

I have too rnucl regard for Governor Hill to think tha he will ever sanction the measure. I be lieve it will his veto, I hop so anyway. The Indians have been much" abused in this rnaUer, in fact thei whole history is one chapter of wrong al done under the cloak of humanity rather philanthropy. "1 hope there will be friends enough of the Indians to bring the matter to the attention of the supreme court in case Governor Hill signs the bill. But the Indians then-selves no money with which to employ lawyers.

"The legislature which has passed the bill is the mo'jt infamous legislature this state has ever had the misfortune to have. There are undoubtedlysome good men injit but as a body it is as bad as it can be, almost on a par with our common council. To show how injurious the measure is look at this: The Cattaraugus. Tonawanda, and Allegany reservations are owned bv the Seneca nation. The Whipple "bill provides for a division of land in severally among the Indians living on these reseavations.

Now one fourth of the Indians residing on them are not Senecas but are simply pensioners, ha ng no right to annuities or anything else. Yet by this bill the land will be distributed equally, they receiving as much as the true owners. matter has been pretty thoroughly discussed and there is no end to debate on it. Of course we all know that the primary object of these men was to get possession of the Indians' lands. In conclusion I will say, that to divide the Allegany lands as intended would give each Indian about eight acres good and poor land; while to divide the Cattaraugus reservation would only give each man about 12 acres good and poor As the Courier notes: The committe em uf brwSinu up now from tM mouMiio, Jt ulw that the re.M-rvution.for i was i-peciiilly dWilM'd, ilK'ludt'H strip'10 mileH long "and one mile bordering on Allegaiiv river, containing about 10,000 acres of tillable land.

Some acres of choicest land are now settled by the whiten, and the Whipt'l" bill speVilics that these may he at once jippropriated. There remains, therefore, the. plan proposed 0,500 acres of a i laml to bo divided among 8IJ4 persons. The report goes on to tho charges and closes by mying that it was thought that the a i declarations would now subside. At the meeting whore it was decided by a committee of Salamanca land-owners to reject the Son oca's proposition for a 9 .) leasf, a lett was read from.

M. A. AVadsworUi, r.uirmbi of tlie committee, v.l 10 a not present. His letter threw considerable light on the questionable methods of the agitators. In one sentence Mr.

Wadsworthf said: "As a rule what the Indians want we do not want," and continuing he wrote, "arid I say let's fight it out on that line and hold fast to what we already have until something better can be The title to their lands, hesaid, was "absolutely safe and sound," and Salamanca's substantial prosperity a onlv a foretaste of what we will see in the near future if we do not now lose heads upon this question which lappily for us is so rear its final solu- ion." He also raised the question: 'Suppose (after 99 years) there is no onger a Seneca nation of Indians, then, course, there is no council to renew ur leases or to receive any annual rents, hey having been abolished, wiped out an act of Congress." He answered his by saying that their lands would doubtless" be sold. The letter was replete with sentiment of a like character nid was eargerly welcomed as an im- jlement of war by the opponents of the -jill.
