AGRICULTURE FOR THE INDIANS. The Policy Recomm ended By Com mis-
 sfOner Atkins.

The Policy Recommended By COmmis.
 sfoner Atkins.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The annual report of the commissioner of Indian affairs was made public to-day. General Atkins devotes nearly one-quarter of his report to an ex- planation of the general policy which he thinks should be adopted by the government in the management of the Indians. He pro poses to make agriculturists of them It re- quires no seer, he says, to foresee the civiliza- ton of the Indian as @ result naturally Aeducible from 8 knowledge and practice up on their part of the art of agriculture, for the history of agriculture among all peoples and in all countries ultimately connects it with the highest intellectual and moral develop ment of man, and the Indian he says consti tutes no exception to this maxim. He says there are hopeful signs of Indian progress and development in the increased interest manifested in agriculture on several reservations during the past few years. In outlining the practical policy which he believes should be adopted by Congress and the government in the man agement of the Indians he advocates a disso- lution of tribal relations and the allotment of lands in severalty to the Indians, and it should be industriously impressed upon them that they must abandon their tribal re- Iations and take lands in severalty as the corner stone of their complete success in ag- riculture, which means self-support, personal independence and thrift. When they have taken their lands in severalty in sufficient quantities the remaining lands of their reser vations should be purchased by the govern ment and opened to homestead entry at fifty or seventy five cents per acre, and the money held in trust and invested for the education, civilization and material advancement of the red race, reserving for each tribe it's own money. He thinks they can easily be mace self-sustaining by agriculture and then when the farm and the school have become fla miliar institutions among them they will be prepared to take the higher and more respon- sible duties and privileges which pertain to American citizenship. For the education of the Indians next year the commissioner asks for an increase of more than $100, 900 above the appropriations for the current year. He urges the passage of laws prohibiting the sale of firearms to Indians off the reserva- tions and to put stop to aggressions on In- dian lands.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The President has appointed Albert A. Wilson of Washington to be United States marshal for the District of Columbia. MT. Wilson is president of an insurance company, vice president of rail way company and band directcr. The President, being convinced that the people of the District of Columbia are entitled to the time and attention of this officer in the performance of the legitimate duties pertain ing to the marshalship, has determined to relieve the office of the unofficial and social functions that have in late years attended it and MT. Wilson will not be called upon to perform the latter service.

Remains a College President.

Rev. Dr. George Williamson Smith, presi- dent of Trinity college, Hartford, decides to remain college president instead of becom- ing bishop of the diocese of Easton, and in his letter of declination says: Although reluc- tant to cause any delay in filling the episco- pate, the gravity of the question submitted to me, the dignity of the convention, the dignity of the office and the interests of the church in Easton appeared to justify re- quest for time for consideration. According ly on receipt of the telegram I asked for two weeks for that purpose, and I beg through you to thank the convention for granting the request. After carefully and prayerfully considering the whole subject, regret that have to announce that I cannot see my way clear to accept the high and responsible of fee to which have been undeservedly elect ed. Believe me, brethren, that no ordinary consideration would have brought me to this reluctant conclusion. Praying God to guide you to one more worthy than myself to fill the holy office in succession to the sainted Lay, and thanking you for the kind manner in which you have discharged your duty towards me, am, with the highest esteem, your brother in Christ"

Plenty of Wives And Palaces To Com.
 fort Him Nm Confinement.
 SIALA, Dec. 2.-Earl Dufferin, viceroy of India, has decided after communicating with the home government to intern King Thee baw of Burmah in any remote Indian. city which the deposed monarch shall select and to have him treated as becomes his exalted rank. He will have all the palaces and all the wives he wants as solace for his captiv- ity, and the chief difference between his every day life in the future and that of the past will doubtless be that he will be re- strained from cutting off the heads of few dozen obnoxious courtiers or relatives as the fancy takes him.

THE CITY commrss1oNERs.

Interesting Speculation As To The
 New -Commfssioners-Ho Carlos
 smith And The Police Board.
 Now that election is over and the charter amendment is defeated, the question arises as to whether the candidates who were nominated by their respective parties ought, or ought not, to be elected for t he positions by the Board of Aldermen. There seems to be no doubt but that Mir. Brown will suc- ceed himself in the fire commission and that Jerry" Atwater will go to the Board of Public Works
 For Police Commissioner it would seem that no better selection could be made by the Republicans than that of Hon. Carlos Smith, whose experience in this department will be of great value to him in the discharge of the duties of that position,
 There are rumors afoat, however, that there will be an effort to defeat MT. Smiths laudable aspirations, and his friends say that if such is the case, that it will react up- on the party or parties who care more for self than they do for the interest of the de- partment.
 There seems to be no doubt about Mr. Shannon succeeding himself in the police board. But when it comes to the two other boards, there seems to be some question about the candidates. A prominent Demo crat boldly asserted yesterday that his party would s'never dare to put Tom Sullivan into the Board of Public Works" What the outcome will be remains to be seen.
 As The Melancholy Dane.
 Miss Pomeroy at the Museum is still drawing crowded houses, and it matters lit tie to the management whether the audiences are attracted by her merits as an actress or her fame as beautiful woman. There are some who criticism Miss Pomeroys person ating male characters, while others believe that they develop her real talent more than the female characters In brief conversa- tion with the lady last evening she spoke freely of this criticism. But while admit ting that few objected to her assuming masculine roles, the objection was never so strong as to prevent them from seeing the play. "And have you not heard of the German professor at Heidelberg who has recently advanced the theory that Hamlet was womana Certain it is that love the character md feel more at home in it than in any other representation in my repatoire. Whether it is due to my love for Shakespeare or from woman's native sympathy with suffering, the memory of the melancholy Dane is ever before me-"

Springer, being opposed to the distribution of the appropriation bills among the committees. They will direct their attention to the prevention of 'triders" being carried through the House on the ap- propriation bills. Their idea is to give the committee control of all appropriations, but to take from it the power to legislate or to recommend legislation on appropriation bills.
