By A C. Sayder.
Washington, D. C!, April 2.—Acting

a copy of a communication from the
•commissioner 'l»f Indian affair^ to
which is attached a draft of a bill

tain band of Chippewa Indians.
The land proposed to be restored to

Mountain Chippewa Indians in 1904
in which ithey ceded to the United
States all.claim in land in North Da
kota, except a tract set apart by ex
ecutive order, in area 12 miles long
and six miles wide, it was stipulated
that suph Indians as were unable to
-secure land -upon this reservation
might take in lieu lands upon any va
cant land of the United States without
charge. Graham's Island is the only
vacant government land in the vicin
ity of the Turtle Mountain Chippewas
and it is now sought to restore it to
homestead entry for the benefit of
such Chippewas of the Turtle Moun
tain band as may desire to make
homesteads upon it

Philadelphia Pa., April 2.—The last
year of Mayor Weaver's term begins
today with the reorganization of the
city councils. Concentrating every
energy and plenty of money in a des
perate attempt to control the councils
upon reorganisation, -the corporations
apd deposed leaders identified with
the old Durham-McNichol organiza
tion have lined up for a finish fight
with Mayor Weaver and the several
'reform bodies backing his administra
tion. The rfemnant of the "machine"
is strong only in councils. It has been
swept out of every othef place fif
power. Many votes'^ are needed to
defeat the mayor, and it is Bald that to
obtain these votes large sums of
money are being offered to unpledged
councllmen, some of whom are vulner
able because they have accepted
gratuities from the once all-powerful
organization controlled by Durham
and McNlchol. If the city party can
didates for presidents of the Select
council and the common council are
defeated tonight it will mean, in the
belief of most people, the eclipse of
Mayor Weaver and the defeat of every
pending measure for civic better
ment
the presence of
a distinguished gathering of civil and
military officers and representative
Citizens of Manila, Henry C. Ide was
today inaugurated as governor of the
Philippines In succession to Luke &

Berlin, April 2.—Emperor William,
accompanied by a numerous suite, de
parted from WilhelmBhaven on the
steamship Hamburg today for a tour
in the Mediterranean that will last
neatrly two months. It often has been
said that all the chancellories' of
Europe became nervous when the
Kaiser starts a-traveling, and from all
indications there will be fully as much
cause for uneasiness during the pro
gress of the present jaunt as on the
occasion of the memorable Morocco
visit
The Kaiser plans to visit variouft
countries, and it is believed that his
Journey is certain to have important
political consequences. He will visit
Rome for the first time in several
years and will discuss with the Pope
the German protectorate over Catho
lic missions in the Far EaBt It is
not thought likely that a meeting will
take place with King Edward, though
the Kaiser would embrace the oppor
tunity for such a meeting if It pre
sented itself,

DOWIE THE FIRST
APOSTLE IS
LETOUT
All His Property in Zion City
Transferred to Man He
Dismissed.
Chicago, April 2.—The open revolt
against John Alexander Dowie, which
took place yesterday, was followed
today by the transfer of all the public
property of the church to Alexander
Granger, the man whose dismissal has
been directed by Dowie in a telegram
from Mexico. A warranty deed and
bill of sale were filed today in the
Lake county circuit court at Wauke
gan, 111., by W. G. Vollva, the present
head of Zion who was appointed by
Dowie some months ago, by which all
lands standing in the name of Dowie
and his wife are made over to Granger
for the benefit of Zion City and the
followers of Dowie. Vollva holds from
Dowie a power, of attorney and by
virtue of it he has turned over to
Granger everything portable In Zion
City, even to the bed of Dowie. All
the effects of "Shiloh house," Dowie's
residence, horses and carriages, ma
chinery in mills and everything in the
name of Dowie outside of the personal
residents jt the town has been
taken away from the control of the
deposed "first apostle."
Late In the day a cablegram was
sent to Dowie in Mexico announcing
that he had been suspended from the
church that he founded. He is de
clared to have advised some of his
followers to practice polygamy, and
charges of extravagance and misman
agement are also made against him.
