WASHINGTON LETTER New Government Map of the K o. Ex - Treasurer Jordan’s Jcke. Clai. s Against the Utea. [Special Correspondence. 1 The coast and geodetic survey has prepared and will soon publish a uew map which will cover practically tho entire length of the Yukon river and most of ns tributaries, inducing the Klondike. The scale is 20 miles to the inch. The section embraced extends from the Selwyn river, several hundred miles above Dawson City, to the Yd ken s mouth and is wide enough to give a fair idea of the extent and character of all the streams. It shows the location and extentof the new St. Michat l’s military reservation and gives the location of all towns and mining camps. The result of soundings of the water in tho Yukon is also indicated upon the map. An enlarged copy will be supplied to the senate committee on foreign relations for consultation in connection with the consideration of the treaty relating to the boundary line between Alaska and the British Northwest Territories. Ex-Treasurer Jordan’s Joke. Ex-Treasurer Jordan occasionally indulges in joking remarks, uttered with a serious countenance. It was the indulgence of this proclivity while connected with the treasury departmt nt that came near resulting iu his introduction to .. pair of handcuffs and incarceration in a dingy cell, says a Star reporter. Mr Jordan had occasion to make a trip to New York just at a time when a new $5 bill was issued by the bureau of engraving aud printing It happened that the treasurer on the day of starting ou his trip drew a portion of his salary, and the cashier handed him a bunch of the, new $5 bills, which had reached the office within an hour. When he arrived in New York, Mr. Jordan proceeded to purchase some needed articles and handed the clerk one of the new bills. The clerk had never seen money that looked like that bill, which was spotless and uncrumpled by handling He examined the alleged money and the man who gave it to him with equal care. Mr. Jordan watched him with suppressed amusement and remarked in a matter of fact way: “I Made It Myself.” "It’s good money I made it myself. ” That was enough for the clerk, who went to the cashier’s desk with the bill. There was a burned conference, and a message was sent to police headquarterover the telephone. In a short time a couple of detectives in citizen’s attire were standing on either side of the treasurer of the United States. They waited there to watch developments, fumbling their handcuff’s in their pockets. In the meantime the cashier studied the new bill further, looked carefully over his counterfeit detector and rummaged through treasury circulars relating to the issuance of money. Finally ho camo across a description of the new $5 bill which was to be issued by the treasury department. His mes- > sage had not yet reached the clerk, who ’ was exchanging significant glances with the detectives and watching Mr. Jordan, when the latter, getting tired waiting for his change and realizing that his new money was probably puzzling the cashier, produced his card. At the same moment the cashier’s message that the money was not counterfeit reached the clerk and the detectives wandered off crestfallen. Great Collection of Indian Relics. The Smithsonian institution has just come into possession of the Hallett Phillips collection of Indian implements and antiquities from the Potomac valley. It is reputed the largest single collection of its class in the world, and its value is greatly enhanced by the careful arrangement and record of individual specimens. The collection consists of over 20,000 pieces, principally spear and arrow heads, stone knives, hammers and scrapers and fragments of pottery and soapstone utensils. Mr. Phillips had made a lifelong study of prehistoric man in the Atlantic tide water region. In his opinion, which is accepted as authority by the Smithsonian scientists, Washington was not the first capital on the banks of the Potomac. The site, owing to the great advantage in connection with stone quarries and the river fisheries, was the headquarters of the great Algonquin confederacy, the most powerful of tho Indian nations on the Atlantic coast. It was with these Indians that Captain John Smith first came in contact ou his initial voyage up the Potomac, and his! memoirs contain an account of a fight • with tho Indians in their principal village on the site of what is now Anacostia, a suburb of Washington. Claims Against tho Utes. Lieutenant Colonel Randlett, acting Indian agent at the Uintah and Ouray agency, iu Utah, in his annual report to the interior department, says official in- j; formation from the department of justice i : shows that more than 600 depredation claims, amounting to more than sl,- . 000,000, have been filed against the Ute Indians in the United States court of 1 claims, and the suits instigated in such 1 maimer as to hold either of the confed- | erated bands equally responsible for the j alleged depredations. The provision of the government for counsel to defend these cases is stated to be inadequate, and the southern Utes of Colorado have united with the Uncompahgres, , Uintabs and White Rivers of Utah in contracting for additional counsel. The agent alleges that without doubt nearly all these claims are fraudulent, and that theso Indians have also just claims against the United States that should be adjusted.
