WASHINGTON, March 23.-The sec
retary OF the interior has concluded 10
allow the leasing OF certain Indian
lands In Oklahoma The Indian bu-
reau has received instructions TO that
effect and has been directed to receive
informal bids, and make the leases AZ
once for the period Of year. Inc
reservations included In this order are
those lying in the northern part oi the
territory, near the Kansas border Inc
Usage reservation contains l,4'o'ooV
acres; the Kaw, 100000; the Ponca,
l0l, 900, and the Otoe and Missouri
10000 The total Indian population
on the six reservations Is about 3,oOo,
and the surplus acreage above
what is actually needed by
the Indians for farming purposes Is y
100000 acres. Under the seyeralty act
as amended by the last congress, each
member OF a tribe is permitted TO take
eighty acres, the law therefore allowing
only heads OF families 10 receive allot-
ments, the extent being 100 acres.
Tribes In the northern part OF the ter
ritory have nearly all taken their allot-
ments under the amended law, and they
propose TO lease the surplus, the law
permitting such Indians as have taken
and paid for lands in severalty to do
this, The cattlemen formerly enjoyed
grazing privileges on all these reserva-
tions, having acquired them from the
respective tribes.
Some time ago they were removed by
order OF the president, but since then
most Of the Indians have taken lands in
severalty and are preparing to adopt
the methods OF agricultural improve
ment observed by their white neigh
bors across the line in Kansas. They
have thus acquired ownership OF the
lands in fee simple, and they will be
permitted to lease their surplus acreage.
The leasing will be made under the di-
rection Of the Indian bureau. 4 he sea-
son is now so far advanced that time is
not sufficient TO allow advertising for
bids, but a public announcement Will be
made at the several Indian agencies
and informal bids will be received for
the consideration Of the departments
The lands for grazing purposes will be
let TO the highest bidders, the cattle
men who were recently expelled being
allowed fair reduction for their fences
and other improvements in case they
bid The leases will be only for
one season, but If the experiment
proves successful bids will be advertised
next year and new leases made for
longer terms. The money to be paid
for the grazing privileges will not go
direct to the Indians as heretofore. It
must be paid to the Indian agent and
transmitted TO the department for ac-
counting, and ii will then be paid TO
the Indians quarterly as other moneys
are now paid. In this way the In
dians will be secured in their leases,
and there viii be no opportunity for
violation OF contracts or other trouble
over the matter. II the plan now pro
posed proves a success, it is to be APP
piled to all the reservations in which
lands are owned in fee simple by the
Indians and held In severalty.

CHICAGO, March %. The sensation
ally large purchases Of cattle IN Canada
during the past week by American cap
italists brought 10 light here the ilrst
complete public knowledge OF the result
Of masterly international campaign
that has been quletly but effectively
waged By Secretary OF Agriculture
Rusk The object was 10 afford relief 70
American cattle growers by opening up
markets abroad, and according 10 the
statements Of one Of the largest dealers
IN Chicago, success has already been at
tanned, while much greater widening
of the foreign market Is now close at
hand The Canadian purchases, II APP
pears, are simply in the nature OF pre-
liminary tactics To secure the unre-
stricted entry Of American cattle IN
Great Britain.
Canadian cattle, though inferior TO
the American product, are legally un-
iettered by British enactments, and the
Americans who have just bought some
immense Canadian herds, propose TO
utilize the Canadian animal and lamil-
iarize the people Of rural England,
Scotland and Wales with beef from this
side Of the Atlantic. This Canadian
venture is 10 result In a loss to the
Americans interested, but they are con
iidently counting on recouping them
selves under the plans laid down by
Secretary Rusk. American beeves are
freely introduced and slaughtered at
will through Great Brita n. At pres
ent American live stock can only be
landed or killed at three ports, and
that, too, under harrassing restrictions.
That the Rusk plan will accomplish its
purpose in Queen Victoras populous
dominion, the results already reached in
France, Germany and the Netherlands
leave no doubt, to say nothing of the
fact that the essential features of the
plan have now just been formally em-
bodied In the United States statutes as
TO the federal meat inspection law.
Months ago. 1t is learned, Secretary
Rusk put 10 work on an experimental
scale exactly the inspection povided in
the bill His agents inspected certain
shipments and certified the animals 10
be sound as an American dollar.
Against this certificate the authorities
al Paris. Antwerp and Hamburg have
been unable to maintain the time
honored pretense that the cattle, being
American, were as matter Of course
diseased. Beginning December 2d, six
different shipments have been landed
up to date at Hamburg, aggregating H.
900 head. The shipments 70 Paris
thirteen in number, commenced arrlv-
ing August list. and now have reached
a total OF ! .7sl head AT Antwerp. the
shipments began still further back May

GRAVEYARD GhouIs.

DECATUR, ILL.,, March 23-Consider-
able excitement was occasioned this
evening when relatives of W. Ii. Craw-
ford, executed Saturday for killing Mrs.
Matthias, reported that unknown par.
ties had visited the grave Of the muir
derer at Spangler's cemetery, east OF
Decatur and attempted to exhume the
body with a view Of putting the coffin
and contents out into the road. The
father OF the dead man had bought the
lot in the cemetery from one OF the
trustees, but the other two, with many
lot owners, object to the interment II
was not believed that the objection
would extend to violation Of law, but
the events Of to-day prove that the kick
ers are desperate. Nearly all Of the
loose earth was moved from the grave
when the men at work were scared
away by the approach of Ben Merritt.
brother-in-law Of Crawford The grave
was filed up again, and il will be watched
= by guards armed with revolvers and
rifles. Merritt and old man Crawford
will secure the names Of the ghouls and
report them to the grand jury.

NEW York, March 23.-Dun & Cos
Weekly Review Of Trade says.
There Is found Ia almost all quarters
a feeling Of confidence and hopefulness
as TO the future. Though the present
effect Of short crops is felt in the mort.
west, the prospect for the coming sea
son is exceptionally bright, and while
in some OF the chief manufactures oper'
ations are checked by uncertainty re-
garding prices II may be expected that
the relations between materials and
finished products viii be ,oOn adjusted
10 the new conditions
Sales Of wool at Boston, New York
and Philadelphia this year, 50 far, show
an increase over last year of 20 per cent
and still continue larger.
The dress goods makers have closed
the most prosperous season known and
hope for better prices presently.
In knitting goods some companies are
carrying too large stocks and mar
gins for profit are close, but a great
many orders are still received. The
expansion and diyersiilcation OF the
manufacture leaves for foreign supply
only the finer grades Of worsteds that
are not made here, and even in mems
woolens there is seen some improve
ment, though the demand looks 10
styles rather than quality.
The boot and shoe business is retarded
by specializing in hides and leather, as
prices of goods are no higher than a
year ago; but while buyers are cautions
they are numerous, and the shops are
fairly supplied with orders
The iron trade shows no change, buy
ers believing that as soon AS the demand
for consumption increases again no
strikes nor shut-downs will restrict pro-
ducuon.
The general average Of all prices, is
still advancing, having risen half OF one
per cent for the past week.
Trade IN the east Is not very brisk.
At cities west Of the Mississippi, trade
is fair for the season. The money mar
kets are easier at most Of the interior
cities including Chicago and Boston.
At New York rates have changed but
little, u 10 per cent on call. but there
