THE new treaties which Japan is ne
gotiating with the great powers, in
eluding the United States, are regarded
in diplomatic circles as an interna-
tional event quite as important as the
Chinese-Japan war, as the treaties will
for the first time give official reeogni-
ton to Japan as one of the sisterhood
of civilized nations. The terms of the
treaty with Great Britain have Just
been made public. The significant
feature of these treaties is that they
deal with the japanese as civilized
nation entitled to the same treaty rights
as the countries of Europe or the west
ern hemisphere.

souri,.
WICHITA, Kan, Sept. 22.-Land is
caving in toward the center of the earth
in the vicinity of the junction of Har-
vey. Butler and Marion counties in this
state. Great excitement prevails among
the people and many OF them are get
ting away The disasters are OF the
most unaccountable origin. and the
state geologist has been summoned to
investigate the disturbance of the earth
formations. There was no shock felt
when the ground caved in bearing any
resemblance to an earthquake.
Near White Water, on the farm of
Thomas Essington, an area of 4oN9o
feet sunk to depth OF % feet, and
when a man was let down into the
hole his weight alone sunk it feet
more. This occurred Thursday, and
about the same moment an area of IS
feet square sunk at Plum Grove
depth of $50 feet. This was on the
farm of Sid Jones, the sliding-in carry
ing a threshing machine and separator
with it. Water poured into the latter
hole from underground in sheets of
water till it was filed nearly to the
top, but the hole at White Water is
still dry, although it is supposed that
the caved-in earth is resting upon
vast body of water Both places are
some or miles apart.
AT Annelly. some 10 miles from
White Water. there were several small
cave-ins ranging in depth from to 40
feet. The theories are various, but
none of them so far are scientific.

believes that after down is called any
man who attempts to creep should be
sent back five yards. Mr.. Adams de-
fends the game, especially because of
its value in producing that energy
which is necessary in popular govern.
ment in enforcing public opinion. He
is willing to get other college presidents
to take action to improve the game
without taking away any of it's heroic
features.

THEY HAVE HILLMAN.
The Noted Insurance SWindler Said to
BE i'm the Hands of officers in
Arizona.
ARRESTED JUST IN TIME
To Save the Insurance Companies Lots
of MOney---StOry of the Old
Crime.
ARRESTED JUST IN TIME

TUCSON, A. T., Dec. Among ths
Huachucas mountains, at Salvation
Army camp, about 40 miles from
Tucson, q man was arrested for whom
the authorities have been looking fol
years. He is John w. Hillman, and
the capture was made by Sam w. Fin.
lev, a deputy collector OF customs at
Nogales, and Orrin Gemmell under
sheriff at Tucson. His arrest recalls
one of the most celebrated cases i'm the
annals of crime. In 1879, Hillman and
two companions, one of them resem.
bling him very closely, took trip into
the Buffalo mountains OF Texas. They
were gone several weeks, and when
Hillman and one companion returned,
the man bearing so striking resem.
blance TO him failed to accompany them.
Killed His Double. q. 81
1t seems that Hillman, who carried
an insurance ON his life of $50, ,O0O,
while in the mountains conceived q
murderous scheme, and killed i'm cold
blood the man who so closely resembled
him, and returned to the settlement.
he took the name of the man whom he
had murdered, and s.id that Hillman
had been accidentally shot dead and
buried in the mountains. In due time
Mrs. Hillman made claim to the life
insurance companies in which her hus-
band had been insured for $50, 600. The
insurance people became suspicious and
began an investigation. The remains
Of the man whom Hillman had mur.
dered were exhumed, and it was then
discovered that they were not the re-
mains of Hillman. Mrs. Hillman in.
stituted legal proceedings i'm Topeka,
KAN, her home, to recover the amount
Of insurance.
Mrs. Hillman Secured Judgment.
The case was carried from one court
to another, until finally she secured
judgment for the principal, interest
and attorneys fees in the supreme
court of the United States. According
to the order of the court the Judgment
must be satisfied at the end of this year.
During all this time the insurance
companies have kept detectives on the
trail of Hillman, who disappeared
shortly after his wife made claim for
the insurance. He was followed to
Australia and other foreign countries
and reward Of $40, 900 was offered for
his apprehension dead or alive. His
arrest at Salvation army camp was
made Dec. 4. Hillman denied that he
was the right man when told by the
officers what they wanted him for Ha
was taken to Tombstone, where he is
held, pending the arr val OF cxtradi-
tion papers from Kansas.

Reports Of Several Indian Agents Re-
garding Their Condition Made
Public,
ARE SHlFTLESS AND IDLE
For the Most Part, But Some Have
Made mprOvement---Sissetons
Have Deteri0rated.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE condition
Of Pine Ridge Indian agency, accord
ing to Captain G. q. Penny's annual
report, renders their reservation fiji
only for stock raising. Agriculture
cannot furnish living there because
of the altitude and aridity of the Sec
ton. This condition cannot be remedied
by irrigation, and the Indians are be-
ginning to adopt stock raising as a
business pursuit
"The besetting sin Of the Indians, ~
said the agent, is idleness They are
incapable of sustained efforts and are
shiftless, lazy and irresponsible. They
are still given to wandering and con-
sumed with desire to go from agency
to agency making visits.
Need More Police.
The discipline is good, but the police
force should be increased to 100 men, in
order to compel good order. despite the
fact that the agent cannot at all times
restrain and prevent turbulence, dis
order and violence among the people.
1t is a mistak 20 to send children away
from the reservation for purposes Of ed.
ucation. They get q smattering of
learning, and return out of touch with
their people, speedily losing accomplish
