Middling on Account of Rain.
GALVESTON, Sept. 22.-Reports are
coming from the cotton belt districts OF
Texas showing that the heavy rains of the
past week have worked serious damage
to the standing cotton. The Northern
portion of the State was not so seriously
affected as the Central, Southwestern and
Eastern sections. The damaged area is
quite as large as the States of New York
and Pennsylvania combined, and CON-
prises the most valuable portions of the
Texas cotton belt. Tine most disastrous
rains occurred in the middle of the cotton
picking season, and reports indicate that
thousands OF acres have gone to
waste for want OF gathering, II being
Impossible TO pick cotton while wet. On

The Indian Commissioner of the Opinion
that they should Not be Exempted.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The Pueblo
Indian delegation called again upon the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs this
morning, and will leave for their home in
New Mexico tonight. They have
been partially successful in their mis-
sion, for the Commissioner will request
the authorities of New Mexico to sus-
pend the tax levy until the exact status
of these Indians can be ascertained. The
Commissioner seems to be of the Opln-
ion that these Indians should be
taxed. He admits that they were
properly regarded as citizens under
the treaty by which New Mexico was
ceded to the United States, but says that
they have never been allowed to exercise
the riehts of citizenship. The New Mex
lean authorities have not allowed them to
vote except upon some petty question Of
ditchng, affecting their own community,
Their lands were granted to the tribe by
Mexico, and the United States is paving
them money which the authorities of New
| Mexico seem to be endeavoring to ac-
quire by taxation. The Commissioner be-
| lieves that the PueblOs, who are poor,
| ignorant Indians, should be protected as
wards of the nation.
Capt. Lee, agent at the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indian reservation, has tele-
grapbed Commissioner Atkins that only
q, 900 head OF cattle remain on the reser-
vation, and that those will be removed by
the end of this month.

German opposition party Of the Reichsrath
