A Sorrow1uI Recital.

PHILADELPHIA. March I6.-Bis-
hop Stanley, Of North Dakota, in
the cathedral today told a pitiable
story Of privation and suffering
among the Chippewa Indians Occu-
plying a reservation in the extreme
northern part Of his diocese. His
object was TO secure assistance for
their relief. He described wildly
the condition of these Indians as
witnessed by himself during the
recent cold weather, when the thcr-
mOmeter marked forty below zero.
He charges the Government with
having stolen ZOO, 900 acres Of the
land this trite possessed when Da-
kota Territory was divided between
the Sioux and Chippewas and not
one cent has been paid for it. The
Indians, he said, were sent 10 the
northern border Of the State, where
two townships were organized with
5000 acres Of land, filed with bad
forests, lakes, swamps and rocks.
There were 1880 Indians, who are
trying to make a living where a
hundred white men could scarcely
raise enough to keep them
alive. He says their huts
are miserabIy insufficient, and as
many as six families are crowded
into some Of them. They have
never been supplied with proper
agricultural implements. With the
plows sent them by the Catholic
Indian bureau last spring they
managed 10 break so acres Of soil,
but there was no rain and today
they are absolutely destitute. No
grain, no food, no clothing. The
United States, he says, appropriated
s., 900 to these Indians, about $50
each. This isspent for flour and fat
pork, distributed amongst them.
The pork is sickening. During the
eighteen months previous to the Isl
Of January, out OF 400 Indians loo
died. During January % died and
these deaths are almost invariably
the result ofstarvation. The bishop
related many incidents Of destitu-
ton and said he would not have
believed the story had he not wit
messed the scenes himself

NEW YORK, March le.-The ca
blegram in reference to the fact that
Lady Vaudeville had engaged in
the business Of introducing rich
Americans into London society has
set all Of her friends in this city

ance from her husband, Lord Man.
deville, IL is very natural She should
endeavOr TO help herself. Another
charitable view of the case is that
SO many Americans Of means pur-
sue her in London for iutroducti0ns
to her titled acquaintance, that it
simplities matters for her to make
it a business. Her position In Lon
don society leaves nothing but
greater means 10 be desired. She
was at one time n very handsome
woman, with q creamy skin,
soft brown eyes, jet black,
delicately pencilled eyebrows
and light colored hair, but
the many annoyances she has been
subjected to have left their mark,
and at forty-two she does not bear
comparison with any OF the English
ladies Of her age in her own set
Although her slender means do not
admit Of her entertaining much her
self, she constantly assists her sister
in-law, the Duchess Of Hamilton,
and her mother-in-law, the Duchess
Of Manchester, both Of which are
very partial to her.
The present Duchess of Manches-
ter, who was Countess Louise
Frederick Augusta Won Alien Of
Hanover, is said to spend a gOodly
portion Of her income each year at
Monte Carlo. In spite Of the little
eccentricities Of her son, Lord Man
deville, she has helped him con-
siderably at times, and gives him the
sole use Of Tandragee castle, County
Armagh, Ireland, which he cannot
succeed in extracting an income
from, but he passes much Of his time
there, leaving Lady Vaudeville TO
manage as best she can alone in
London.

A Di.rraeefaI Scene,

PoUGHKEEPsIE, March I6. A
disgraceful scene occurred ut St.
Mary's Catholic Church just before
the commencement of the morning
service today. One OF the parishion-
ers, named George Hughes, a prom
inent merchant Of the city, and
Father Early had had trouble Over
the right Of Hughes TO a pew.
When Hughes and his son occupied
It this morning the trouble was re.
newed, ending in Father Early
hitting Hughes in the face. Three
men, one OF them Father Early'i
nephew, came to the lstter's assist
ance, and Hughes was cut and
pounded numerically in the face
and on the back Of the neck. Hughe,
swore out warrant for all four as
sailants. Father Early says Hughe,
struck him first.

KANSAS CITY, Kan, March 49,
The boomers were stampeded into
the Cherokee Strip much the same
as the cattle were stampeded out Of
II. They miscOnstrued the passage
Of the Oklahoma bill into an act as
providing for the immediate OPEN
ing OF the country TO settlement, and
each company OF boomers, alarmed
lest il not he first on the ground 10
select the choicest townsites and
claims, rushed pell neil over the
border. Fear is expressed by cooler
heads that this premature and ILL
advised movement may be entirely
useless; that the government may
deprive them Of their advantages
and drive the settlers out to await
the formal opening of the country
and give all prospective settlers
equal shares. This view is enter
tanned only by small minority.
The great majority are already set
tied down on their claims as il as
sured Of permanent residence. They
believe now that the invasion has
been accomplished they will allow
them TO remain and permit Others
TO take up land whenever they ar
rive.
The majority are bona sde settlers,
and carried on their wagons yester-
day enough lumber to construct
small dwellings, and today the
white tents and wagon covers that
dotted the prsiries in all directions
are being replaced with less pictur-
esque but more substantial board
shanties. Especially is this the case
at the settlement at Ponca, only
yesterday a small station Of a humid
red people on the Santa Fe, just
over the line from Guthrie, Okla
homa, today a city Of 5000 inhab-
itants sprung up over night.

to have been generally agreed
upon that the first thing for
the settlers to do was TO start a
prairie fire and much Of the strip
has been burned over. These
prairie fires served n double purpose;
they drove most Of the cattle before
them and also destroyed the fodder
which those remaining might have
fed upon. Therefore, the cattlemen
are naturally depressed by the
gloomy prospects. Said Hewins of
the Cherokee Strip Cattle COMPANY
today: "1here are now, or rather
were before the invasion, about
$4,000 head Of cattle on the strip. l

foresIalled the inevitable iall Of Tir-

himself on record Us opposed to the
policy Of the government, which the
nation was sure TO reject. The re-
constructed cabinet will absorb the
best members Of the one just retired.
Its policy will be similar except in
the important particular mentioned,
bus Will be worked out more strong
ly and with more satisfaction to the
country. NJ. de Freycinet, minister
of war in the Tirard cabinet, is most
likely to lie prime minister, and will

ARKANSAS CITY, March IS. -
Nearly every quarter section of land
for eighteen miles south Of this city
is at present staked of and many Of
them occupied by squatters. The
report that a company of cavalry
would arrive this afternoon caused
some uneasiness, but as the hours
rolled by without the troops putting
in an appearance, confidence was
restored and feelings Of security pre-
vailed. This, however, was short
lived, for at O'Clock the news that
the President had issued a procla-
nation ordering all settlers off the
strip was received. In n few min
utes large numbers Of men who had
staked claims and returned here for
provisions gathered together at the
street corners and discussed the sit
uation. Some counseled a prompt
compliance with the Presidents
order, but Others insisted that
II was a good plan to hold their
claims until expelled by the troops,
and then, as soon as the
troops were out Of sight, to return
and begin farming operations The
advocates Of the latter plan are evil
IDENTIFY in the majority. The old
soldier element seem to be more de-
termined to retain their grasp upon
their claims. Should the soldiers
attempt to remove them there will

men to keep them from settling back

France: The New Cabinet
PARIS, March l6.-The fall Of NJ.
Iirard marks the disappearance OF
the twenty-fifth ministry since the
foundation OF the French republic.
The question Of protection against
the importation of Turkish fruit,
upon which the Cabinet resigned, is
the most trivial in the world, and
could not have brought about n
crisis If other matters had not been
erowding upon the government and
driving 1t into corner, so that re-
urement at no distant date would
have been its fate.
Thequestion Of commercial treaty
with Turkey, brought up by the
diplomacy Of NJ. Tirard aud NJ.
SPuller, his minister for foreign AZ
fairs, simply afforded the ministers
chance Of selecting a soft place
to fall on, and they promptly awaited
themselves Of II with great sense,
instead Of waiting to be kicked out,
which would have been virtually
the situation IL they had waited "
abide the result Of n direct vote Of
want OF confidence in the govern
ment, which the Chamber Of Depu-
ties would certainly have hurled at
them at the first opportunity.
The serious politicians Of France
doubted the capacity Of the Tirard
Cabinet 10 deal effectively with the
weighty problems OF the balance Of
revenue and the expenditure Of the
nations money. NJ. Tirari him
self is known to have shrunk from
