..snuaw Man. Claims

Senator Kyle has made some discoveries
within the last few months that viii
cause a senation when he gives them to
the public. They relate to claims for In
dian depredations. The claims are for
stock and crops alleged to have been
stolen from settlers by Indians who are
on reservations. They amount to about
S44, 900, 900, and are on file in the court of
claims. These claims formerly went to
the interior department for settlement,
and few of them were ever paid, because
investigation showed they were almost,
all fraudulent Three years ago congress
passed law turning them over to the
court of claims
The department of justice under the
Harrison administration allowed nearly
81, 100000 of these claims in less than two
years. Under the Cleveland adminisUra-
ton only about 1862, 600 has been allowed.
The large allowance under the Harrison
administration excited suspicion, and
Senator Kyle's committee was instructed
to make an investigation. That he has
done, and he has made some rather start
ling discoveries. AS a rule the claims are
filed by ''squaw men, that is, men who
have married squaws, and who reside
with the tribes. Most of the claims have
little or no foundation. They are trumped
up, and supported by afidavits of ire
sponsible parties. At least that is the
statement made IN Washington dis
patches. How the department of Justice
under the Harrison administration could
have allowed such a large amount of them
is one of the things not yet explained 1t
is not likely that the 'squaw men, will
get much money from this administration.
Senator Kyle, however, will make consid-
cradle renntation by his thnrnnth work

Education on New Lines.

Representative Blair, of New Hamp-
shire, does not intend he shall be forgot
ten during his lifetime. When he was
member of the Senate he introduced a
bill appropriating very large amount of
money annually for the education of the
blacks. The bill attracted a great deal
of attention, and at one time it was
thought it had a chance of becoming
a law, That was long ago. and
the bill is now almost forgotten Mr.
Blair, however, is just as much interested
in educating somebody or something as
he was when he put the Senate to sleep
with his long speeches in behalf of that
bill
A few days ago he introduced into the
House two educational measures-one to
teach men how to treat kindly domestic
animals, and the other to teach women
how to become good servants. For the
purpose he has in view, his bill
appropriates 5000 annually to each
agricultural and mechanical college
which is supported or assisted by the
United States
Mr.. Blair's idea is that men do not I'M
derstand domestic animals. and hence
are unnecessarily cruel to them. If the
students in the agricultural and mechan-
zeal colleges were taught all about horses,
mules and COWS and their uses they
would, he thinks, become missionaries in
the interest of these dumb creatures, and
would do a great deal of good toward
their happiness, usefulness and value.
1t is undoubtedly true that domestic
animals are, to much greater extent
than ought to be the case, cruelty treated
by those for whom they do so much, but
would it not be long time before any
beneficial results would be observa bic
from the adoption of the plan the cranky
New Hampshire congressman has brought
to the attention of the public, Cruelty
to dumb animals will hardly be checked
until the brutal natures of men are
reformed.
The idea of teaching women how to
cook, sew and attend properly to other
household affairs is not bad one The
great need of the present day is good
servants. 1t is the experience in the
south that house servants are steadily
becoming less reliable and efficient. They
are ignorant and as a rule practically
worthless. The domestic servant prob
lem is a serious one, and if Mr.. Blair
should solve it the housewives of the
country would be under such obligations
to him that they would gladly raise mon
ument in his honor.

Senate Smokers.

Senator Murphy of New York has sworn
of smoking, says the Chicago Record. He
has been in the habit of keeping a lighted
cigar constantly in his mouth. and his daily
consumption has been from twenty to twenty
five long and strong ones During the silver
DEBATE at the extra session of congress he
smoked thirty-seven Relna Victorias in
single day.
But his physicians warned him that this
excess was telling on his nerves and his CON

moderately, nut he decided to stop entirely

A Separate Car, Ruling.

+ Judge Barr, Of the United States dis
I trict court for Kentucky, recently heard
a separate carr case, which involved a
new point. a negro and his wife started
from a place in Indiana for town in
Kentucky Their tickets called for first
class transportation. They took a seat
in the ladies car for which the Indi-
ana conductor gave them checks. When
the train entered Kentucky and change
of conductors was made, they were told
that they must so into a car provided for
colored people. They refused, and were
put of the train. Suit was brought for
damages against the railroad company,
and came before Judge Barr's court.
The judge, in his decision, holds
that while Kentucky might enae
and enforce such a law governing people
travelling over lines entirely within the
state, it interferes with interstate com
merce when it dictates to people
coming from another state. He. there

who, after they had become naturalized
American citizens, returned to Turkey.
The CORES ondence between Minister
Terrell, at Constantinople and the state
department with reference to the matter,
has disclosed the fact that our Chinese
policy, as embodied in the exclusion acts
and sustained by the supreme court, is
likely to Interfere with this governments
securing ample protection to Americans
in foreign countries. The state depart
ment has informed Minister Terrell that
in view of the decision of the supreme
court in the Chinese cases this govern
ment is compelled to recognize the right
of Turkey to exclude aliens and to deport
undesirable individuals or classes. This
position taken by the state department is
regarded as important, inasmuch as it
will apply to other countries as well as to
Turkey Russia, it will he remembered,

kopf, an American citizen, to enter her

thought at Washington that Russia will

Chinese.

The perennial scheme to colonize

Cotton and Colonization Company, with

Northen Mexico. II is reported to have
just closed a trade for 2,5oO,OOO acres OF
land lying along the Lilo Grande, in the
states of Coahuila and Chihuahua, with
Ex-Gov.. Gonzales Of Chihuahua, and it
expects on a part Of this TO settle 10000
blacks from the United States. The
scheme involves large agricultural opera
tions for which the negroes are expected
10 furnish the labor. The company will
furnish the land and the capital and, pre-
sumably, absorb the lions share Of the
profits.

AFemale .Wraneler.,

A young woman has won the distinc-
ton of being sixth wranglern of the
seniorclass of mathematics of Cambridge
University, England The cable says she
''distanced. all her male competitors" To
be Cambridge "wrangler' is helda high
honor in England, Notwithstanding a
wrangler elsewhere, on general princi-
pies is regarded usually with pity and
Impotence. But over there they have a
local meaning for the word, which mean
ing Webster says has become obsolete in
the correct use OF the language In the
Cambridge acceptance, as applied in the
instance under discussion, ito wranglen
means to argue,.or to debate and explain
mathematical principles and formula; and
the students who pass the best examina-
tions are accorded the honor of first
wrangler, second wrangler," etc.
This explanation has been deemed nee
essary in order TO set right the young
woman who won the honor of sixth
wrangler" The bare statement that she
is ',wranglern would hardly. convery
the correct impression to the average
American reader, who is not informed of
the pecullarltles of English school Gus
toms 1t might be construed to mean
that She, a representative woman, had
merely improved upon the natural gifts
of her sex in the matter of wrangling, as
people on this side of the water under
stand the word, until she had been able
to outwrangle whole class of hard
headed young Britishers. And that would
have been an injustice to her sex as well
as herself. The ability of the sex to
wrangle has long been acknowledged. and
the achievement of the young woman re-
ferred to neither adds to nor detracts
from feminine fame in that particular.
