Chils Has Them in French Ports and Is
Buying More.
New York, Jan. 25.-Accordin2 to q
Washington correspondent, startling
piece of information has Just reached the
navy department which adds to the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation. The agents Of
the department in Paris report the Captain
Prat is not the only Chilian vessel prepar-
ing for sen at the French shipyards. but
tho cruiser President Pinto is fitting out
for service at French Atlantic port and
issActually ready to sail. If Chilli succeeds
in her evident plan Of delaying the action
in this country for three or four weeks
longer, the United States will find it diff
cult matter to secure from that nation
any terms, and a naval expert is authority
for the statement that the United States
would find it impossible to defeat the Chill
ian forces. They already have a warlike
feet trained and otherwise put in condition
for active service.
They have increased their stock of tor
pedoes and supplied all their ships with
smokeless powder. They are now at work
on coast defenses asd have 80 far, it is said,
progressed with the projects that few
more weeks will see them on very formid-
eble war footing, and one that will make
the planned invasion of Chilli by the United
States forces extremely difficult. The navy
department is laboring under disadvan-
tage just now Of having no source of in
formation from Valparaiso but the latest
advices are anything but reassuring. The
department people look upon the request
for the recall Of Egan as in reality emanat-
ing from this country, and the prime
movers in the measure are American firms
who care too much for their sindividual
financial interests to allow the matter to go
befssse congress on its merits.
Authentic information has been received
from England that Chill has just pur-
chased new cruiser being built at Ann
being rapidly pushed. The vessel is de-
soribed as of high speed. 5000 ton cruiser,
very similar to the cruiser Twenty-Fifth of
May, recently constructed by the same firm
for the Argentine republic.

Duck Cnnneries.

A Capt. DeHaas just back from gold
hunting trip in Alaska suggests that some-
body might make fortune by starting a
cannery for wild geese and ducks ut the
mouth of the Yukon river, where the fowl
congregate in immense numbers in the
spring of the year. We print this for the
editication of tho esteemed corresponds
ent who wrote from Paris the other day
that he would be glad to see sport with the
gun put to an end in America. A few of
Capt. DeHans's springtime duck oAnneries,
iudiciously established at the right points
in the far north, would solve once and for
ever the spring shooting question. Forest

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
A Government Agent TELLS the Amount
of Money Given Them Annually

A Government Agent Tells the Amounts
ofMonsY Given Them Annually.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Novem Der IA
The attention of Indian Commissioner
Morgan was to-day called to a press
dispatch from Guthrie, Oklahoma, stat
ing In effect that there were we'll
grounded fears of trouble among the
Cheyenne and Araphoe Indians in Ok
lahoma during the approaching winter
because Of the reduction in the food
supply furnished by the government,
and stating that even now they were In
a state Of great distress for want OF
food. For this condition Of affairs the
dispatch states the government is 0y
NJ ANY persons held directly responsible.
Commissioner Morgan said; 1T Will
be a sufficient reply TO this statement TO
give the facts in regard TO what the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes have actually
received. They number $500. Since
the year 1869, there has been expended
for their benefit for rations, clothing,
employees, ETC., the sum OF S1,lO9, $50 In
fulfillment Of treaty stipuatlons.
There has also been expended in their
behalf for the same purpose, since 1872,
the sum Of S3,293, $50, all of which was
a gratuity given by Congress TO supply
their necessities and promote their CIV
ilization, and not called for by any
treaty.
Last year when the Indian Office was
making up the estimates OF approprla-
tions to be made by Congress it had re-
gard for the fact that the Cheyennes
and Araphoes would receive at an early
period in cash about half a million dol
lars, and, therefore, IL asked Congress
to appropriate as a gratuity for the ben
eft Of these Indians only sos, 900, being
SIS. 900 less than the amount approprl-
ated for each Of the two preceding
years. Nevert heless, subsequently,
Secretary Noble stated the facts to
Congress and urgently requested an
additional grant of $4,000 for food.
which Congress failed to grant. 1t can
hardly be expected that Congress Will
continue to subSist Indians out or the
public treasury who have had their
lands allotted, and who are receiving
large cash payments. There are prob
ably 600 children among these people OF
school age. The Indian Office has Of
fered TO take all of these children into
boarding schools, feed, clothe and edu-
cate them, free Of all expense to these
Indians.
"The change Of the issue Of rations
from weekly TO bi-weekly is for the con-
venience aud benefit of the Indians. a
weekly issue is hindrance to the pro-
gress of Indian farming for 1t keeps
many Of the Indian families half the
time on the road to and from the agency
to receive supplies to the neglect OF
their farms and other employment. 1t
will be seen from the above statement
that these Indians have absolutely no
ground whatever for complaint against
the government and already the white
people who have gone in and settled
among them have complained that the
government has treated the Indians
with a degree Of liberality which it has
denied to them"

Healthy Appetite of Gu cen Victoria.

Queen Victoria, like her grandson,
Emperor William of Germany, is the
possessor of a good, wholesome appe-
tite, which is rendered all the more
keen by the crisp air of the Scottish
mountains.
At a luncheon at Mar Lodge, the resi-
dence of the Duke and Duchess OF Fife,
which is situated within easy driving
distance Of Balmoral, Her Majesty did
full justice to the following repast:
Minced venison, boiled capons, OK
tongue, cold roast chicken and York
ham, cold grouse, cold roast sirloin Of
Scotch beef, pastry, cheddar cheese and
salad, "a campagne, dry biscuits and
thirty years old dry port.
or course it is not suggested that the
Queen partook Of everything on the
menu, but the solidity Of the repast
speaks volumes for the digestive capa-
bllties OF the Queen, who as an old lady
enjoys her food AMI eats as heartily as
she did at l6 years of age.

Geo. L. Blanoy's Good work.

To the Editor ofths Register
SIR:-Now that the smoke Of battle
has cleared away the question Of the
hour is no longer who will be elected,
but who will be appointed to the vari-
Gus Offices within the gift Of the victo-
rious psrty. Among the deserving in
this county we know OF none more meri-
torious than that modest artist, Geo.
L. BlaneY, who, with his magnfi-
cent mammoth pictures created so much
enthusiasm at every Democratic gath
ering. His portraits Of Cleveland and
Stevenson, Of Hon. W. l.. Wilson,
played a prominent part in the great
Democratic demonstrations at Grafton,
BOothsville, Fairmont, Wheeling and
stirred the souls OF the faithful with q
fire Of enthusiasm as nothing else could
do. At the big Stephenson demonstra-
ton in Wheeling his gigantic portraits
Of Cleveland and Stephenson adorned
the top OF the triumphsl arch and were
the admired of all admirers. There is
silent poetry in pictures that appeals TO
the better angels OF our nature and the
presence OF such portraits as those
painted by Mr.. Blaney in the midst Of
assembled multitudeS had an effect the
value Of which can not be calculated. IN
addition TO this Mr.. Blaney has ever been
A devoted Democrat, an active, earnest,
individual worker In the cause OF De-
mocracy and while his efforts have not
gone unappreciated by his party they
have thus far gone unrewarded. We
hope he may receive early recognition
this time and enjoy substantial benefits
from the great Democratic victory for
which be so earnestly and unselfshly
worked for the past twelve years.
