 propriatiOns.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Representative Shuble of Iowa, from the committee on territories, to-day reported favorably the bill to open the Cherokee outlet in the In- dian territory to settlement, and extinguish the title of the Indians to the lands. A long report accompanies the bill. It says that in the opinion of the committee the Indians do not have good title to the lands and that the lands are fertile and at present a barrier to the rapid growth of southwest, thousands of good settlers being kept out for the benefit of the compara- lively few Indians.
 The total appropriation carried by the District of Columbia appropriation bill as reported from the senate commit tee on appropriations to-day is sS,- BOT, 1895, an apparent increase in the house bill of $2,750,000. But this addition was made for the purpose of re- deeming District of Columbia bonds which fall due July 1, and the appropriation for this purpose is to be repaid to the govern ment out of the District revenues. The changes made by the senate committee are of purely local interest.

parts, one to he taken 10 India, one for En-
gland and Europe and the third for America.
1t is the portion for India Colonel 0cott
bears with him.
Nine. Blavatsky, Colonel Olcott and Will
lam Q. Judge were the founders OF the or
der and their names are known throughout
the world as such. They have been asso-
ciated with a common aim no to the moment
of the Madame's dissolution. Olcott and
B.avatsky met at a spiritual test seance in
New York City, the former being at that
time an editorial writer on a New York
daily and the latter a Russian lady of nohil-
ity. Judge soon fell in with them and they
formed in 1875 the society that has since
established over 200 branches in differe MT
parts Of the globe.
Nine. Blavatsky and Colonel Olcott turned
their attentions from the first to the well
spring of Oriental tnOught-India-and the
latter became so imbued with Buddhism
that he was admitted into the Sanctuaries
Perhaps at no time in the past has there
been case of white man being admitted
into the Dales of the esOleric Buddhistc
churches, though many have been initiated
into a few of its occult teachings. His ad-
mission has had salutary effect, as it has
united cOntending colleges and tended to
break down caste distinction. In fact, in
India, there are BuddhistS and Brahnins
who refer to him oftener by the title of ''our
beloved Colonel" than by his name. lie has
been invited by the King Of Burmah and
the Emperor OF Japan to make his home in

Personally Colonel Olcott is an ex-Colonel
of the United States Army, he having served
meritoriously for the. North; He is abou t
70 years of age and has long, full beard
that goes far 10 make him mark among
men. While here he will deliver public
lecture in the Metropolitan Temple.

he said that the tme had come for an az

contests have been won on DloOdless battle
fields, continued the speaker. Prohibition
has proven a success in Maine, Iowa and
other States where it has been tried. Loca
taxes in these States have reached a mili,
mum because of the stringent laws against
the sale of liquor. There are $50, 900 whisky
vendors in the United States and the tax on
liquor amounts annually to over 500, 900, eco
Liquor fills our prisons, almshouseS and
penitentiaries with paupers and crimi nails

hut even this is a compromise with the devil.
1t will never solve this great question and
as a prohibition measure must ever be q
failure. 1t feeds the cupidity of the people
and degrades their moral sense.

A dispatch from Marquette, Mich, says !:
The daugh ters of Captain John McEnroe,
at Ishpe ming. were aroused early one morn
ing recently. and saw roughly dressed
man moving about the hall. They alarmed
their brother VIII. who slept in an adjon-
ing room. He went out with lamp and
revolver and demanded the intruder's bust
ness. He obtained no reply. The wind
blew his lamp out. He then fired two
shots.
The stranger started downs tairs. where he
was met by Captain McEnroe, who ordered
him to throw up his hands or tell who he
was. Receiving no reply, McEnroe fired
three shots, each of which took effect.
When the lights were brought the sup
posed burglar was found to be Oscar jesse ella,
a Finn, working under Captain McEnroe at
the Lake Superior mine.
A Finnish servant-giri named Annie To-

combination light enough to be carried with

very close quarters From shield to coat

not likely to be taken just yet. However
light the new shield or armor might be, it
would either increase the soldiers burden or
necessitate the omission of some other part

and a proper supply OF ammunition. Extra
weight would result in slower marching, an
alternative not to be thought of in these

of Brooklyn to Miss Maggie Madden of
Wilbur, neighboring village. The cere-
moDy was performed by Rev. NJ. J. Feeley
at the Church of the Holy Name. The cir
cumstances which led up to the nuptials
were OF somewhat romantic charac-
ter. Eight years ago young Lyman
lived in the village OF Wilbur. where
he wooed his present bride. She
was young girl then. and the parents OBJ
jected to the match for that reason and be-
cause they thought the groom was not in a
position TO support wife. The girl PROM

into the cold world to seek his fogtune. He

ago. when he went back to Wilbur and, it
is alleged. showed sufficient bank account

Branch of the Citizens Alliance has
opened its doors to the public and will here
after hold meetings for the discussion of the
principles of the parent society, the Farmers
Alliance. every Sunday afternoon in ST.
Georges Hall. The attendance at yester-
days meeting Of the branch was very large.
The question debated was:
Resolved, That occupancy and use should con
stitute the only title to land.
r. J. Mclyer led the debate and was fol-
lowed by score of speakers who had some
thing 10 say on every theory that has been
advanced to solve the land and labor qaes-
ton. Sngle-tax men, Nationalist, Indlyid-
ualists and C0llectivists were heard. Theo-
S0phy had a brief inning, and middle-aged
orator with ragged beard declared that hui
manity cannot advance until the positions
and relations of the planets are changed.
Another speaker argued that men are too
lazy, and was followed by one who declared
that we are not half lazy enough or the
great mass of men and women would not be
tOiling for the support OF the privileged
classes.
Chairman Carl Gieeser at the close of the
meeting announced that on next Sunday the
branch will try to answer the question
'How can the producers of the country OBJ
tain that which the financiers absorb at pres
ent?"
