INDEX.

ACTION.

1. Nature of suit as one against the United States.

A suit brought by a Chippewa Indian on behalf of himself and other mem-

bers of his tribe against the Secretary of the Interior, to enjoin him
from executing the act of June 27, 1902, and to compel him to account
under the act of January 4, 1889, in regard to sale and disposition of
lands, the title to which is still in the Government, is in effect a suit
against the United States, and in the absence of any waiver on the part
of the Government of immunity from suit, the courts have no juris-
diction of such a suit. (Oregon v. Hitchcock, 202 U. S. 60 followed;
Minnesota v. Hitchcock, 185 U. S. 373 distinguished.) Naganab v.
Hitchcock, 473.

2. Nature as suit against State within meaning of Eleventh Amendment.
A suit brought by a railway company against the members of a state rail-

way commission to restrain them from interfering with complainant's
property and interstate business under a state statute alleged in the
bill to be unconstitutional as imposing burdens on interstate com-
merce is not a suit against the State within the meaning of the Eleventh
Amendment. McNeill v. Southern Railway Co., 543.
