Tho vexIng Indian Question Not To
Be Settled Just Yet.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The War De-
partment has not found the Indians particu-
larly anxious to become soldiers. This Is
true Of the Sioux, at least, and there is much
doubt as to whether it will be found practi-
cable to enlist the 1000 redskins contemplat-
ed in the recent order from the department.
The companies assigned to the infantry regi-
ments will be particularly hard to fill. as the
Indians all want to ride ON horseback. Col
onel Shafter, of the First Infantry, stationed
in California, tried while at Pine Ridge with
his regiment, to raise his company, but could
not do so, partly because the Sioux did not
want to 90 so far from home as California.
he has since-been authorized to enlist Indi-
ans In that state. Most Of the warriors pre-
fer to serve as scouts, but they cannot be
taken on In that capacity, as the present
force Of scouts is to be reduced. The army
Is at present about 1000 short Of the %, 600
enlisted men allowed by law, and all the In
dians enlisted will be included within that
limit. Should the experiment prove sue
cess, Congress will be asked TO allow the In
dians to be enlisted In excess of the limit.
Indian recruits will be subject to physical
examination. but will not be required TO
pass any mental or moral examination.

SOME SERIOUS TRousLE.
The Bay State Shoe Fastening Com.
pany Is Mis- managed.

PROVIDENCE, r. l.. March IA number
of Fall River gentlemen interested in the Bay
State Shoe Fastening Company travelled to
Nashua, N. e., Wednesday to attend the an
nual meeting of that company. They were
not entirely easy in their minds when they
returned. The company owns patent rights
worth $277,239. The Fall River gentlemen
say these patents are returning a very poor
rate, because the dividends have not been
large. The capital stock is 100000. TIE
assets outside of the patents consist of $11,-
$50 due on 1000 shares Of 'tach er" stock,
$1,S39 accounts receieable, $264 merchandise,
$50 worth of wire, Office furniture, and a
S20, 600 machine account. Management of a
very questionable kind is alleged, but as yet
it is impossible to determine who Is respon-
sible for the collapse.
Treasurer Brady Beaton says his com.
pany has not failed and that the stock holders
were satisfied with the result of the meeting
at Nashua.
