New YORK, Aug. 25.-A dispatch from
London says: The announcement that
the queen has decided not to hold any
more drawing rooms in person, but to
hereafter delegate all such functions ia
the Princess of Wales has caused some
thing of a sensation in aristocratic circles
and is accepted as a virtual withdrawal of
the venerable sovereign to private life.
1t is explained that after several recent
drawing room levees the queen has been
considerably fatieued and has also suffered
from sick headache, and that she sees nc
reason why she should continue officiat-
ing in person at such functions when they
involve physical suffering. 1t is generally
believed, however, that the queen has be
come altogether too feeble to allow OF any
great strain on her ply sical or nervous
system, and that she has come to the
conclusion that it is necessary for her to
husband her strength. 1t is given out,
however, that she will hold court once q
year at Buckingham palace, at which she
will receive the diplomatic corps and their
ladies, together with the mem bers of the
cabinet. She will, however, personally
revise the list OF invited guests.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-A second re-.
port OF the Indians of the southwest has
been received at the Indian bureau from
DR.. Dorchester, the superintendent OF
Indian schools. This report deals with
the Indians in Arizona and gives promin-
ence to the Apaches and Navajos. The
whole Indian population of the territory
is given as 35,077, and the number Of
children as capable for schools at 4,280'
This is an increase in population, since
1880, OF 1926. OF the children, about
l 200 attended school, either in Arizona
or elsewhere. In 1880 only75 children
in Arizona made any pretense of attend
ing. The report is not favorable to moving
the Indian children schools.
