OF the worlds fair board of references
and control President Palmer and Vice
Chairmen Mckenzie. Massey OF Della
ware Lannon of Utah. st. Clair OF
West Virginia and Martindale OF In
diana were present. The following
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t has been brought to
the attention of this board that efforts
are being made by individuals as well
as by corporations manifestly organ
lied for the purpose to obtain author
itative recognition, either expressly or
implicitly, so as to constitute such
persons or corporations quasi-official
agents for the advertisement of the
exposition in foreign countries, and
whose efforts are clearly inspired by
profit or advantage to such persons or
corporations and have not for their
primary and principal object and pro-
motion of the success of the EXPOSE
ton; and,
Whereas, The employment OF any
agency OF this character cannot be
substantially beneficial to a great ma
tional undertaking, but is more likely
to create scandal and justly provoke
adverse criticism on those officially
responsible Tor its management; and
Whereas. All relations which still
exist between foreign governments,
their official representatives and the
exhibitors thereof and the said expOsi-
ton, are exclusively under the control
OF the commission which has been duly
vested with powers to confirm the terms
and the stipulations Of the compact be-
tween the national commission and the
worlds Columbian exposition, as en-
missions; therefore
Resolved by the board of reference
and control That no agency for the
promotion of the interests OF the expo
sition in foreign countries or the estab-
lishment OF relations with foreign gov
ernments or the official representatives
or exhibitors thereof connected there
with shall be permitted or recognized
MS authoritative and official unless the
same shall have been first authorized
and approved either by the national
commission, this board or by the direc-
tor general through the report OF the

when by the latter official full re-
port shall be made in each case to the

Indicted for Lynchfne.

WALLA WALLA, WASH, June H.
The grand jury empanelled to investi-
gate tho lynching OF Hunt by soldiers
April 20 has reported to the superior
court true bill against seven enlisted
men OF the fourth United States caval-
ry. The report says there is no doubt
Colonel Campton did not believe his
troops would attempt to lynch Hunt,
but the attack ON the sheriff and his
prisoner on the night before the lynch
ing and the open defiance OF the non
commissioned officers supported by the
guard, should have been sufficient
warning TO him of what might be ex-
pected. and negligence existed in not
taking ample precaution to keep his
men under control. In the jury's opin-
ion the sheriff was taken by surprise
and was not prepared for defense, and
that II he had made any resistance an
alarm could have been sent out and
assistance secured and in all probable
ity the mob would have been dispersed
without gaining its object The jury
suggests that the county commission crs
prepare statement OF the expenses
incurred by the county on account OF
the outrage and present the same
against the United States. 1t is
thought that as tho relations between
the citizens and troops are rather
strained it would De we'll to have the
latter exchanged.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Some farm
ers in Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana
and few other states have been writ
ing TO the internal revenue Office that
they fear there will be so much red
tape in securing maple and beet sugar
bounties that they will have to aban-
don hope for it. The law gives boun-
ty of about . cents pound, so that
all the bounty realized on / 900 pounds,
which is good yield, will be 500. To
secure this farmer must take out a
license and submit his product to u
government inspector to be tested,
weighed. etc. Furthermore, as the
inspector may not get around on time,
the farmers say they may miss the
opening OF the market in the first part
of the maple sugar season when the
product demands about cents more
than it does later in the season. Com
missioner Mason said today that he
expected to recommend to the secre-
tary OF the treasury the appointment
of ten or twelve sugar inspectors with
in week or ten days. He would not
indicate who were to get these positions,
at IS a day and travelling expenses.
but said that Ohio would get two
by virtue of the fact that it was a ma
pie sugar producing state and was the
home OF the author of the present tariff
law and Senator Sherman, one OF tho
leading tariff authorities in the upper
branch Of congress; that the president 5
state would have to be given one be-
cause it produced great deal of sugar,
and that Kansas, Nebraska and Cali
fornia, each a sugar producing state,
would get three more. Louisiana, no
said, had demanded the appointment
of all the others. basing it's claim for
the places upon the fact that it pro-
duced moro sugar than all the other
states combined. The commissioner
said that sugar producers will never
have any trouble about an early and
prompt inspection OF their productions,
rs deputy collectors of internal reve-
nue. can be called to assist the regula ar
inspectors in their work, and that the
producers can com bine or concentrate
at given points in such a way rs to
enable an inspector to pass upon a
great many samples in one day. The
treasury department is arranging every
facility to give sugar producers advan-
tage of the law.

WASHINGTON. June 12.-Commis-
sioner Morgan OF the Indian bureau has
received second letter from Superin-
tendent Backus OF the Genoa, Neb., in
dustrial school for Indian children, ex-
planning more fully the situation In
that section as to the employment OF
Indian children in the beet fields.
Backus. owing to the opposition of the
working people about Norfolk. advises
against putting the boys out to work
and says:
1--WE have three political parties in
the state at the present time, with
about 70, 900 in each party. One par
ty Is composed OF the farmers alliance
and the Knights of Labor combined,
the other two are the republicans and
democrats. l feel sure If we allow
our boys to work in the beet fields, the
farmers alliance and Knights of Labor
organizations will unite as a party in
condemning our action"
Commissioner Morgan, in reply,
briefly reviews the history of the In
dams as race in this country. calling
attention to the fact that they are
struggling with many discouraging
obstacles in efforts to secure for them
selves livelihood, and briefly explains
the policy of the government. The
commissioner explains that the
''ousting system" has been of great
benefit to the Indian boys and
girls and he greatly depreciates
the action of some OF the labor
ing people OF Nebraska. in oppos-
ing the scheme. He suggests il the
superintendent finds his efforts to Sc
cure proper employment for the pupils
OF his school at reasonable wages are
to be resisted by political parties or
other organized bodies of citizens of
Nebraska, that he report the case fully
in order that the matter may be laid
before congress at its next session.
The commissioner further asks that il
in the judgment OF the superintendent
the people are SO hostile to the school
in Its endeavor to make intelligent
independent citizens of its Indian pu-
pills, whether 1t would not be best to
stop all projected improvements, with
view of closing the school and aban-
doning the enterprise. Money, he
says. can be expended to advantage in
states where citizens are only too glad
to have these institutions OF learning

Much attention is now being given
to the Importance of history as a

This study has been greatly under

pedagogues have esteemed it rather as
a discipline of memory than as one Of
the most helpful means to the develop
ment of the thinking and reasoning

Indiana Are Nnf Aliens

WASHINGTON, June 10.-lndian Com
missioner Morgan has disposed OF a
very remarkable question which was
presented by Superintendent Backus
OF the Indian school at Genoa, Neb
Superin tendent Backus some time ago
| advised the commissioner OF Indian af
fairs upon the strength of resolutions
passed by the workingmen OF Norfolk,
Neb.. to prohibit for political reasons
the working of Indians in the sugar
beet fields of the State Superintend-
ent Backus' professors looked upon the
work of an Indian in the same light as
they would regard that of convict or
alien. Commissioner Morgan says in
his letter to the superintendent that
the Indian Is the original American
citizen and has a better right to work
when, where and how he pleases than
any other citizen OF this country; that
the Indian originally owned this coun-
try and that white people are in point
OF fact trespassers upon it. The COM
missioner regards the advice OF the
|
organized labor friends as the most
advanced step ever heard of against
the education OF the Indian and
the efforts of the government to
make him self-supporting, and believes
that it would better become the Indian
TO protest against the methods of those
who object to his labor. Commissioner
Morgan reminds the directors that the
people around the Carlisle, Pa, school
are sufficiently civilized to not protest
against the education OF the Indian and
says that If the people OF Nebraska
desire it he will be glad to transfer the
Indians from the Nebraska school to
the one at Carlisle. and close up the
former and let the people OF Nebraska
themselves take charge OF the educa-
ton of their Indians. At the Indian
office the suggestion from Nebraska is
regarded as the most unique OF the age
ana il it could be framed would doubt
less attract widespread attention at the
worlds fair.
