CCopvrioht)
NEw York, Feb. 21.-I happened to
meet, the other day, Mrs Quintan, the pres
ident Of the Womsn's National Indian As
sociation, who is one of the most effective
speakers of her sex now on the platform.
She is wholly occupied with the duties Of
her position, which require her to go from
place to place organizing local societies
which take upon themselves the support Of
Indian children at Hampton Institute and
Carlisle, and the furtherance Of civilizing
efforts in behalf of the tribes. These socie-
ties have now spread themselves in such a
network over the country that the wife of a
prominent congressman told me few
weeks ago that on one occusion when an
Indian bill was pending she, as her hus-
bands secretary, opened and sort ed in q
single morning over 200 letters which came
to him from women in all parts of the
country as the contents of one mail
In private conversation Mrs. Quintan does
not hesitate to say that one Of the great
difficulties encountered by the women who
are giving 30 much of their time and
energy to work for the wards of the gov
eminent Is the impossibility Of affording
protection to the Indian girls who are
educated in the east after they return TO
the tribes Indian girls who have been
shielded by the safeguards to which white
women are accustomed have a strong at
traction. not so much for Indian men, but
more particularly for tho squaw mel, the
whites and half-breeds who have mar
ried Indian women.
Mrs. Quintan has Travelled much, espe-
cially among the northwestern tribes, and
she tells stories at which cold types would
shudder of the maddened shrieks her ears
have heard from Indian girls in the bushes
pleading for mercy, and Of the wretched-
ness and shame of girls whose education has
taught them to look with horror on things
which are more or less matters of course
to those who have never left the tepees.
Such forced degradation accounts for many
a relapse 70 blankets and barbarism, and
yet there Is another side which is bright
with pictures Of family devotion.

That the Indian has a sense Of humor was
amusingly illustrated to a yer y well-known
lady who has given large sums for the
maintenance at school Of indian boys and

widow; she has recently married a second
husband. During the engagement period

permission to leave at her house a pair Of

These slippers were of generous proportions.

COMMANDER CUFFED.

Secretary Tracy Not an Admirer of Com
mander George C. Reiter.
WASHINGTON, j an. S.-Secretary Tracy
has written a letter to Commander
George c. Reiter. who was relieved
from the command of the Ranger on
account of his course in the harbor of
San Jose, Guatemala, when General
Barrundia was killed on board an
American vessel in the harbor. The
Secretary censureS Commander Reiter
in the strongest terms. He says in part:
''FrOm the moment that the approach
of the Acapulco, a steamer bearing the
American flag, was known to you, you
should have taken every step legally in
your power to give cOuntenance and
support to her captain and protection to
all persons on board, especially when
you knew that their safety was likely
to be menaced. Instead of this, in your
apparent endeavor to escape response
bility, you remained SO completely
passive that as far as events on board
the Acapulco were concerned, you and
your vessel might as well have been on
the other side of the ocean, After re-
calling the circumstances at length, the
Secretary continues: sit is believed
that few cases ever occurred in the his
tory of the United States navy where a
commanding officer so completely aban-
doned the responsibilities of his station,
according to your own showing, as you
did upon this certain critical occasion. >;
In conclusion the Secretary lays down
the principle that the presence of a
Minister in a foreign country does not
relieve naval officer of his RESPONSE
bility.

METEOROLOGICAL.
Prof. Shows Summary OF Observations For
the Past Year.

Prof Shows Summary Of Observations For
the Past Year.
LAWRENCE, Kan, JAN 9.-Prof. Snow
has prepared meteorological summary
for the year 1890 from observations
taken from the university. This shows
that the year 1890 was one CT the six
svarmest years upon his twenty three
wears record, the thermometer having
reached the zero point but twice during
the year. The rainfall was above the
average, but an untimely deficiency in
June and July was disastrous to the
crop in nearly all parts of the State.
Some remarkable peculiarities of this
year were the extremely low barometer
OF March 81, which gave the lowest
reading ever observed at this station,
and the date of the first snow, which
did not make its appearance until Dec
cember 23, fOrty-three days later than
the average date.
The mean temperature of the year
was 54:1O degrees, which is 1888 degrees
above the mean for the preceding twen-
ty-two years. The highest was 1918
degrees on July Ia; the lowest degrees
below zero, January 16, giving range
of 1858 degrees. The mean of the win
ter months, 31:90 degrees, which is 3:06
degrees above the average. Of the
spring it was 1855 degrees, which was
1:17 degrees above the average; of the
summer, 77:94 degrees, 2:33 degrees
above the average; of the autumn, 54:02,
O:55 degrees above the average. The
.warmest month of the year was July,
with mean temperature S2:76: the warm
est'week, July s to IA, mean, S5:12 de-
grees; the warmest day, July IA, mean,
SS:47 degrees. The mercury reached or
exceeded 90 degrees on forty-three days,
below average. The coolest month
was January, the mean temperature
being 1924 degrees; the coolest week,
January Is to 81, mean temperature,
1856 degrees; the coolest day, January
Is, mean, 6:12 above zero. The mercury
fell below zero on only two days, of
which one was in january and the other
in February.
The entire rainfall, including melted
snow, was SO. 80 inches, was was O.S2
inches above the annual average. The
rain of the afternoon and night of Octo-
Der II measured 4. AZ inches, which sur
passed any previous single rainfall on
record, except the 5.6S inches of August
~, 1884, The number of thunder
showers was twenty-four. May 30 oc-

The entire depth of snow was 1880
inches, of which eight inches fell in
January, three in February, one-half in
March and four inches in December.
This was sos inches below the annual
average. Ihe velocity of the wind was
below the average for the preceding
