Indian Schools.

WASHINGTON, October 31.-Commis.
sioner Of Indian Affairs Morgan has
elaborated a system of education de.
signed to reach all the Indian youth OF
school age now under the control Of the
Indian Bureau. 1t is practically the
American public echool system adapted
to the special requirements of the In
dians. 1t is to be non partisan and non.
sectarian. The industrial feature is to
receive special prominence. The "out.
ing system" by which pupils are placed
in white families and attend public
schools is to be encouraged wherever
practicable.
1t is proposed to develop full High
School course in at least three of the In.
dian schools Carlisle, Haskell and
Cheyenne-and in the others ae fast as
needed. These High Schools are to take
rank in equipment and the character OF
the work done with similar institutions
for white people. The scheme contem-
plates the organization of perhaps
twenty-five grammar schools, fifty pri.
mary or home schools and enough day
or camp schools to reach all who cannot
be brought into the boarding SCHOOLS.
Congress will be asked to make O sutfi.
cent appropriation to enable the Indian
Office at an early day to bring every IN
dian youth of school sge, that can be
reached, under proper instruction.

Libel Suit-Davitt's De-
fense Concluded.


Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WINNIPEG, October 81. To-day Assistant
States Attorney Baker, Of Chicago, and
Lawyer Powell elected new and, if true,
important information from Gillette, the
late fellow prisoner OF Martin Burke.
Burke said the plot had been to decoy
Cronin from his house by Coughlin and
q woman. Afterwards Coughlin changed
the plan and decoyed Cronin by means
of O'Sullivan's business card. Burke
told Gillette that tho woman in question
kept furnished lodging-house on North
Clark street, in Chicago. Burke men.
toned as associate with himself Cough
lin, Cooney and O'slllivan. The inten,
ton was to sink the body in the lake
but the confederate who was to meet
them with boat failed to keep his ap.
pointmsnt. Gillette says Burke weni
twice to a lawyers Office on Dearborn
street, Chicago, and got money tor doing
the Job. Cronin's clothes were brought
to Winnipeg and hidden there.
Gillette told Baker that Burke told
him in detail OF the murder; how
Cronin was dubbed as he stepped in
side the cottage door, and how they took
the body to the lake, and not finding q
boat there. threw it in. Fearing, how
ever that it would washup on the beach
it was taken back, placed in the trunk
and afterward put in the catch basin.
Gillette's story is very circumstantisl
Baker is inclined to believe that it is a
straight story in spite of the apparent
reliability of Burke having confessed

Our esteemed contemporary, the Oak

article which lately appeared in this
journal, and says that its editor is happy.
Thus far this chronicler is veracious
one. If it had ended there everything
would have been lovely, but it quotes 8
statement from the HERALD which says
that free-footed people from the East will
come out here in considerable numbers
this Fall and Winter, and adds: 'It is
call right for them to get foot free and
"come out to this Coast if they
"are not also footbare. Those without
"ducats will rustic long time down at
"Los Angeles this winter without hearing
"the ring of the festive shekels as they
"fall." This is a breezy and fippant
way Of talking, but we assure the editor
of the dormitory journal that the dullest
time ever known in Los Angeles would
recall the days of Solomon's Mines COM
pared to the scarcity of coin to be
found in Oakland-or, rather, the pleth.
ora Of coin that is not to be found there.
If the editor of the Oakland Times would
take the trouble to read the reports of
the Bank Commissioners of California,
he would learn that we have more money
in our banks than is reported in those of
any banks in the State outside of San
Francisco, and that their standing is A
No. /. For every twenty dollar piece
our Oakland friends can ring on the
counter, we can ring 80 many that it
would make the head of the Oakland
scribe swim. Don't be silly, Oh Times,

DnVitt Congrat0lated by the Cour,
ON His Able NDeech

LONDON, October 81 Michael Davit,
continued his speech before the Parnell
Commission today. He said Farragher
who had been Clerk Of the Land League
but who turned informer and testified for
the Times, had been unable to prove the
assertion made by Acknowledgement
Webster that the Lesgue advanced money
Tor the comnittal OF outrages and crimes.
Dayitt regretted that all the Land League
books had rot been found. They dis

League, but the National League
books which had been produced
revealed nothing uncorstitutiopa al
lie denounced the publication of the
alleged fac simile letters by the Times
as an attempt at moral assassination of
the political character of public men,
unparalleled by the action of any politi.
cal party in the history of any country

not aware of Piggott's antecedents until
he testified before the Commission.
When Davitt finished, Justice Happen
compiimented him upon the ability dis
played in his speech, and thanked hin

Sir Henry James then began his speech

NEW MEXICO.
Disputed Land Titles Retardin,
Industrial Progress.

Industrial Progress.
WASHINGTON, October 31.-Governor
Prince, of New Mexico, in his annual re-
port, calls special attention to the subject
of land titles. In reviewing the history
OF Congressional action in the matter, he
says: MATTERS were in a very unsatis-
factory condition when the late Surveyor
General made them worse by endeavor-
ing to unsettle few things that were
supposed to be determined, by taking up
| cases which had been decided twenty
five years ago, and without notice to
| anyone, reversing the decision of the
Surveyor-General who heard the case,
and declaring the testimony insufficient
and the grant invalid. So long as un-
certainty regarding titles prevails no one
will buy for improvement, and 80 the de-
velopment of the country is constant v
retarded"
The Governor urges the establishment
OF a tribunal exclusively for hearing
these claims and the settlement of titles.
The Governor answers at some length
the statement made by persons opposed
to the admission of the Territory, especi-
ally regarding illiteracy. He shows that
while the native population is more or
less illiterate, it is not true Of very
large proportion of the people. The
ratio OF illiteracy has been reduced
twenty per cent. during the last five
years. He makes an earnest plea for
admission into the Union.
Upon the subject Of water supply and
irrigation the Governor says the people
feel that it is as much the business of the
Government 10 render valuable the i'm.
mense areas now useless for cultivation
as it is to improve harbors and rivers.
While hoping for Government aid private
enterprise has not been idle, and dur
ing the past year several corporations
have been formed for the purposes of
irrigation.
Cattle raising has been in depressed
condition throughout the year on account
of low prices.

How to Proven. peserx,ors

WASHINGTON, October 81. - General
Crook, commanding the Division of the
Missouri, in his annual report gives
prominence to the subject of desertions.
He is OF the opinion that if a soldier
could, after a reasonable term, sever his
connection with the military service by
the payment OF the amount which bis
enlistment and service cost the Govern
ment, it would go far toward preventing
desertions. He suggests shortening the
term of service.
