Capt. Guthrie Reports the Situation
Full OF Peril.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Capt. Guthrie,
who arrived at Antlers on Tuesday made a
telegraphic report Of the situation to the
war department to-day. He regards the
situation as very serious There
is a large number of Indians on
the ground who are opposed TO the
the Jones militia, and are afraid to dis
band and go home as long as the militia re-
mains. The territorial officers have no
trouble in serving writs and making
arrests, but the course which has been pur-
sued by the militia in making arrests has
terrorized the whole section. Capt. Guthrie
says that il the Jones faction could be in
duced to disband the trouble would end. He
invited Gov. Jones to accompany him to
Antlers, but he declined to do so, saying
that his life would not be safe II be did so.
the war department now considers the
situation ct Antlers as serious and will
probably direct Gen. Miles to send more
troops there.

Coincident with the recurrence of the season
for Easter offerings the management of the
Childrens Hospital has issued an appeal to
ton. the substance Of which will be found in
another part Of this issue of The STAR. 1t Is
not often that 20 strong a claim for help as this
Institution presents can be made, because it is
not often that merit and need are SO closely
allied "a in this instance. The Children's Hos
pital is one Of the few institutions in the Dis
trict, If not the only one, that ministers to the
suiferings OF the afflicted absolutely and in all
instances free of charge, and without regard to
race, sex, color, creed. or nationality. The
only question asked Of little one knocking at
its doors is: ''Does it need medical or surgical
sttendance?' II it does, il is taken in at once,
and Is sure Of the services of the best medical
talent in the District. with the most tender and
careful nursing. until it RECEIVERS or is removed
beyond all suffering and sorrow. Such An
appeal for help should therefore touch the
heart and open the purse alike Of both sexes,
of young and old, rich and poor, white and
black, native and foreign born. As the hospi-
tai helps ali who need its help, so it should be
helped by all The rich should aid it literally
out of their abundance as a thanks Offering,
and there are few so poor as to be unable to
give little something of their slender means
for the benefit Of those more unfortunate than
themselves. Contributions, large or small, will
b thankfully received and acknowledged by
any one of the special committee signing the
appeal. The STAR will also receive and account
for any sums however small that may be left or
sent to the counter Of the business Office for the
object indicated

Another French ministry has gone the way Of
all such organizations in the land Of the tricolor
and it fell down with . rapidity that would be
surprising In any other country. A ministerial
breakup was expected in connection with the
Panama canal scandals, but it did not come, and
for the lengthy period of eleven weeks NJ. Ribot
held his associates together in unlooked-for So
hdity. Strong drink. which does much that is
evil, was the indirect cause OF this downfall
for it was defeat as to important amendments
Of the liquor law that brought about the whole
sale resignation. To the observer who in on
this side OF the Atlantic it seems as though the
cabinet was really anxious for an excuse to go
out Of business and took advantage Of the first
opportunity that presented itself. Very little
friction and trihing opposition is sufficient to
upset . French ministry. particularly when that
ministry knows that such a schemer NJ.
Ccnstsns has his eye upon it and will do il all
possible damage whenever there is the least
opening. NJ Constans would, 1t seems certain,
like to be intrusted with the task Of construct
ing cabinet in which he would be the central
figure. but President Carnot is surely going to
think twice before he leans upon a reed that il
not broken Is certainly weak in its main fbers.
Constans IL a sound patriot, but he is overdaring
and like most men OF that type is less scrupu-
lous than a man should be who has to be prime
minister during such a period Of financial dis
turbancs - now troubles France.

Forty-ive years ago the Fox sisters startled
civilization by announcing that they had es-
tablished direct communication with the spirit
world, and tonight the local believers in spirit
calism will fttingly cele brate the anniversary.
There was novelty in the Fox manifestations,
because the methods employed bore no resem-
blance to those which in times long past were
alleged to be necessary before man could hold
converse with disembodied spirits. but host Of
believers accepted the amended theories and
straightway organized to disseminate that
which they believed to be the truth That was
the beginning of modern spiritualism. Since
then there has been much careful investigation,
many conversions and great deal Of initiative
fraud irresponsible men and women-utterly
lacking in the principles upon which honesty
and the finer sympathetic feelings of human
nature are based-nave gone up and down the
earth intent only on profitable deceit. Such as
these have brought scandal upon honest be-
levers and give opportunity for unfair
comment and unjust association. Very
many citizens of high character are sincere in
their attachment to spirituslism, and although
the great majority of mankind laughs or sneers
at the misty doctrine, those Of its disciples who
are men and women Of standing in the COM
munity cannot but be respected.
