LIGHTS FOR SMALL CRAFT.
The Marine Conference Again at Work.

When the international marine conference
reassembled yesterday Admiral Mares OF Great
Britain, chairman Of the committee on sound
signals. submitted an additional report Of the
committee on that subject.
Several amendments were offered to the
rules Of the road and they were laid over and
ordered to be printed.
To ascertain the condition Of the business in
the hands OF the several committees consider
ing the divisions of the program Mr.. Goodrich
suggested that the secretary OF the conference
call the several COMMITTEES for that purpose.
This was done and the responses show that
some of the committees would be able to re-
port this week, several during next week and
several others later.
The reconsideration Of the articles contained
in the report of the committee on lights for
small craft, in accordance with the motion of
Capt. Richard of France, was commenced and
proceeded with smoothly until q provision in
article was reached This provision requires
that pilot vessel going alongside Of a vessel
to put pilot on board shall have at hand q
lantern with red glass on one and a green
glass on the other side for exhibition in time
to prevent collision. Delegate Flood of Nor
way proposed as an amendment that the pro-
vision requiring the pilot vessel to carry the red
and green light be stricken out. This amend
ment provoked considerable discussion and
more or less opposition on the part of the del
egates. 1t was disposed Of by the adoption of
an amendment to the amendment proposed by
Delegate Hall that 1t is not desirable to alter
the proposition made by the committees re-
port. Without dIsposing of the report the con-
ference adjourned until today.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.

1t is warm evening in August, the
sun is setting behind long range of
cotton and maple trees, at the feet of
which twists in and out, as it follows
their curves, placid and peaceful riv-
er. Opposite these hills and running
beside the river, are long stretching
meadows brilliantly green. with fresh
grass and dotted over with bright spots
of wild flowers. Above the sunset
sky CLEANS and glows with fiery
red. and rich deep cromes, and
along the horizon can be seen
the outline of lone rider, gallop-
ing towards q bunch of tapies. You
turn and look east and you can gaze
upon hundreds of cattle with ''real" COW
boys.herding them closer for the night.
You ask, where is this scene that defies
poet and painter? and to relieve you
from suspense, I'll try and tell you of
this beautiful country that is soon to be
opened to the people for settlement.
The Cherokee strip Of the Indian Terri
tory. It's north of the Oklahoma
strip and by all who have travelled
through this strip, say it is great deal
better for farming. The Indians have
crops of corn, wheat and oats. and have
raised good crops, but they utilize very
little of the land; the cattle men use the
worst of it for their enormous herds to
Craze upon. Peaches Of rather small
size grow in abundance, also apples are
plentiful. II this country is thrown
open for settlement. there are large
number of fine farms, which can be had
by demonstrating.
The Oklahoma country has had its
day of bloom and its inhabitants sit
around and talk of the crowds that were
there. Guthrie is the largest city in the
strip. it has about 5000 inhabitants, is
literally speaking dead" men holding
down claims are working in and
around the city for sl00 day and as
low as Sl5 per month and at present
job is impossible Uncle Sans men
have the control of government though
the city has police aud marshsls. Al

post commanders could be seen drill
ing their little squads of men In the
hotels the crush was terrible At the
Plankinton House were Generals Sherman
and Alger Commissioner Tanner and Mrs
Logan. The latter came down the steps
from the large dining hall about
8 o'clock, leaning on the arm
of General Alger As the crowd of
veterans from one direction and bevy
of ladies from another rushed to greet
her she was forced to hold an imprOmptu re-
ception. Mrs. Logan presented a DIS
tinguished appearance as she stood step
above the crowd before her, her ruddy face
set in frame OF silver white hair, and
wreathed in smiles.
1t was evident before o'clock that there
would be little business transacted in the
city, and, following the suggestion made
by the mayor, the majority of business
houses closed their doors and all turned
out to view the parade. The banks
had agreed to close at o'clock ON each day
of the eneampment but no business was
being done and most of them closed short
ly after nool. Though the parade was not
to start from Twenty seventh street until
10 o'clock. people began early to
seek advantageous positions from which
to view the tine of march At 9 o'clock
the crowds that had remained in the
vicinity of the plankinton House, hoping
to get sight OF the distinguished people
within, moved up the avenue to take places
at the cross streets The day is perfect, de-
spite the signs of rain during the early
morning hours No accidents occurred
and the parade came of according to the
published programme.
The most interesting and strikingly
unique portion was probably Post Jo-
seph Ledergerber, No. 240, of the
Department of Wisconsin. Although the
name is German these &. A. r. veterans are

all this precaution there is beer and

called Joints. The festive COW boy,

known, but likely till the next strip
north is opened.
The Usage indians who have reser-
walton just west of this are said to be
the richest nation IN the world, there is
about 1901 including men, women amt
children. Now they have in the u. 5.

drawing B per cent interest, besides
they have $4,000 acres of land, equal
to about 1000 acres piece. Their aver
erage wealth per capita, including chill
dren is about $4,000. They do no
work, and as matter of fact, are lazy,
indolent and worthless, they have not
become civilized and the tribe is dying
out.
With the Cherokee its different,
they have number of schools and are
well attended, and its no uncommon
thing to see a young buck reading
one of the eastern dailies, and can carry
on conversation, but for all their edu-
cation they still cling to the beaded
moccasn and few other indian styles
Of dress. Some will have on a complete
outfit of white mems clothes with shirt
and collar, boots, etc., with q braided
scalp lock hanging from beneath his

favorably known in Lancaster. lives

agement of the city water works. He
has fine collection of Indian wearing
apparel and relics which he bought
while in the territory, though he is still
adding to 1T as he runs across different
things they offer for sale. The Ameri-

! pao1rcrwe TARIFF vs. MONOPOLY


Among the efforts to popularize the
policy Of free foreign trade IS the
charge that protection encourages mo
nopoly. the absorption under one con-
troll OF some entire line of business, and
resultant advance in price of the pro-
duct thus controlled. Such tactics may
he ingenious, and not without influence
with the unwary, but upon examination
the charge will be found defective In
lacking facts for its support. Comblna-
lions there are in plenty, and when
these get matters in hand they are
quite certain to turn their advantage to
personal gain, without fear OF law, or
sympathy for purchasers OF products.
But they are in no wise chargeable to
our protective policy, nor confined to
the United States. If there be any
truth in the contention of free trade adj
vocates that Protection enhances prices,
its effect must be to render combinations
more difficult, by requiring larger sums
Of money for maintaining control Of
he markets.
The fact is that one of the first COM
binations for forcing up prices was
formed in Great Britain shortly after
Richard Golden and ether free trade
statesmen had secured changes in the
British fiscal policy. This was among
the tin-plate III lnufacturers, and the
trust then organized has been pretty
sOlidly preserved to the present time
80 well in fact that every effort to en-
courage the manufacture of tin-plates
in this country mt once encounters the
IS ~
English opinion this side the Atlantic.
The fallacy of charging trade combi-
nations to Protection becomes appar-
ent by glance at two just now espec-

NICELY pur syrss OLD DARBY

Not long after the war circus came
TO Mont gomery, says the Atlanta Con.
stitution 1t was the first circus that
had beer there in long time and at
tracted an immense crowd. especially
of the negroes. The most interesting
feature of the entertainment was the
balloon ascension. The negroes had
never seen anything of that kind, and
regarded the spectacle of a man sailing
up into the clouds very much as they
would have looked upon Elijah going up
in his chariot of fire. The balloon sailed
away eight or ten miles and came down
in a field where some negroes were plow-
ing. Terrified at the spectacle of a
chariot coming down from heaven they
verify believed that the last day had
come, and remembering all their short
comngs. fled away in terror at the APP
preach of the awful judge. One gray
| haired and rheumatic old negro was
unable to get away. He could follow
the pillow, but could not run, and the
chariot came down upon him with ter
| rible swiftneSs. In that awful moment
his whole life rushed upon him. he
thought of all the petty sins he had com
mitted, and the ghosts of hundred
chickens seemed to rise up in judgment
against him. But in that desperate
emergency his mind did not desert him.
and remembering that politeness always
counted with his earthly master he
quickly decided TO greet the Lord of
heaven and earth in becoming style.
As the aeronaut touched the ground and
began to lntangle himself from the
