An Endeavor to be Made to Consoli-
date the Two branches.
WASHINGTON Sept. 2S.-Information
received here indicates that throughout
the country, in what is known as the
Scottish Rite of Free Masonry, branch
especially strong and wealthy on the
Pacific Coast, there is an agitation in
favor of consolidation of the Supreme
Councils of the Northern and Southern
Jurisdictions of the governing bodies for
the United States. The Northern organi-
.Zation has a more liberal constitution
than the Southern, and elects its officers
periodically, whereas in the Southern
supreme Council the officers hold their
places for life. The late General Albert
Pike, probably the most distinguished
Mason OF his day, was Grand Commander
Of the Southern body, and his successor
is to be chosen at the biennial meeting of
the organization next year. So long as
he lived, because of his great ability,
there was general acquiescence in his
leadership, but now that he has passed
away the desire is strong among the rank
and file for a consolidation with the
Northern body, in order to enjoy the BEN
efits OF more liberal constitution and
more active participation in the govern
ment Of the order. However, should the
distinct and separate organizations be
continued, and the officers of the South
ern Supreme Council continue to be
chosen for life, there is a strong proba-
bility that Thomas II. Caswell of Califor-
MIA will be General Pixies successor. The
Southern jurisdiction embraces all the
States and Territories south of the Ohio
River and west of the Mississippi. Sen
ator Teller of Colorado is one of the

The gang of toughs that infest the east

ILLEGAL RETENTION.
Decision Concerning the Sending to
Schools of Indian Children.

Schools of Indian Children.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs has received a
copy of the recent opinion of Judge
Green of the District Court of the Terri
tory of Oklahoma directing the restora-
ton to his parents of an Indian boy
placed in the Government Indian school
at Chilocco by officials. Judge Green
held that as the Indian Office had not
issued, as required by the Act, rules and
regulations to compel the attendance OF
Indian children at schools provided for
them, the retention of the boy contrary
to the will of his parents was illegal. The
effect of this decision is regarded by the
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs as likely
to prove prejudicial to the schools, and
it is his intention to carry the case to a
higher court. The Judge, in his opinion,
took the ground that the right Of parent
to the custody Of his children belonged
to the Indians as well as TO the white

New YORK, Sept. 2S.--A Washington
special says: About $40, ,0C0, 600 is the sum
the Navy Department will ask for its
annual estimate for continuing the work
of the new navy. This does not include
anything for the new vessels. 1t is sim
ply the amount required for meeting pay
ments under existing contracts, which
viii be due during the fiscal year ending
1898. The Secretary, it is understood,
viii especially advocate this year the con-
struction Of a number OF fast torpedo
boats and small. light-draught cruisers.
1t is considered desirable to continue the
addition of large ships, but if there is to
be only one choice the Navy Depart
ment's decision will be in favor of small
ships, such as are now most urgently
needed for service in China and on the
Pacific Station, ships of the protected
cruiser type, that can go from one port
on the Pacific to another on short notice,
