WILL MAKE A CHANGE.
Indian Contract Schools to he Abolished

Indian Contract Schools to he Abolished
as Rapidly as Possible.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-It is the pol
icy of the bureau of Indian affairs to
discourage the plan of contract schools,
in their general sense of fdenominational
schools, and to abandon them as soon
as possible. This will be accomplished
by transferring Indian pupils as rapidly
as can be done from sectarian to public
schools. 1t probably will require a
couple of years to carry out this scheme
as there are about 5000 pupils now en-
rolled in the contract schools.
The change is outlined in an official
communication sent by Acting Com
missioner Armstrong to the superin-
tendent of one of the largest of these
schools, where material reduction in the
enrolment has been made.
'I would suggest" says General
Armstrong, ''to you as well as to all of
the religious orders which have con-
tract schools on the reservation, that
you prepare yourselves for still further
reductions next year, as the tendency
INV 10 W gradually uO away Will Gull
tract schools and to place Indian chill
dren as far as po 'sible in public schools,
where it can be done, and in state
agricultural schools and normal schools
in different states. The last congress
directed the secretary of the interior to
report to the coming congress the best
means of abolishing contract schools.
The only way it can be done is by grad
ually reducing, and this, think, will
be the final outcome of all controversy
and legislation on the subject.
''It is a matter over which this Office
has no control as it will be regulated
entirely by congress. y

CIVILIANS AS AGENTS
NO MORE ARMY OFFICERS IN THE
INDIAN SERVICE.

War Department Says 1t Makes tina Army
Unpopular-Indian Contract Schools to
Be Abolished as Rapidly an Possible,
Public Schools Being Substituted.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-The war de-
partment having become satisfied that
the policy of charging officers with
duties of Indian agencies has worked to
the detriment of the department, has
removed the officers already detailed
for the services as soon as the Indian
bureau is able to furnish civilian agents
to fill the places. The objections to the
plan are, first, that it tends to make
the army unpopular if an officer is zeal
Gus in protecting the interests of the
government and of the Indians, and,
second, that it is bad practice to separ-
ale an officer from his command for
long term and impose upon him duties
foreign to proper military service. So
several of these officers have recently
been relieved from duty at Indian
agencies and have been sent back to
their regiments.

GERMANY WILL COOPERATE.

Her Refusal TO Interfere viii Not Affect

LONDON, Oct. 15.-A dispatch to The
Times from Berlin says that Germany's
refusal to interfere in the Chinese
Japanese trouble sdoes not affect the
question of protection to Europeans in
China, in which she will fully CO.
operate. The German commander in
Chinese waters has already been
authorized to dispatch small body of
marines to protect the legation at
Pekin. If there should be any trouble
it is believed that the moral effect of
even such small body of European
troops would effectually check Chi

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 16.-Unless
there shall be radical change in pub
lie sentiment there will be no opposi-
tion to the proposed fight here between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons. Mr.. Rich
ardson, one of the principal hackers Of
the Florida Athletic club, is reported to
have said that the new club would not
have embarked in this scheme if there
was any chance of opposition by the
governor or hostile legislation at Talla-
hassee next spring, SO the opinion here
is that the hackers of the club have
been given inside assurance that they
have nothing to fear from the legisla-
ture. Governor Mitchell's failure to
stop the Corbett- Mitchell fight last
winter will, it is thought, deter him
from any attempt to interfere with the
Cerbett- Eitzsimmons affair when the
time comes, If ever it does come, for it
to be pulled off.

Or. Robbed of q Large Sum.
THE DALLEs, Ore, Oct. l6.-The Pa
cific Express company's Office in this
city has been robbed of $i4, 600 or $15.-
900. The money was sent here from
Portland and arrived Saturday night.
F. N. Hill, express agent and two off,
GERS took charge of the money as soon
as it arrived, taking it to the express
Office.
Details of the robbery are very mea-
ger. 1t is thought that the robbers
came here ON a train with the treasure
box and knew where it was consigned
and the contents, and followed it up
after it arrived. They made easy work of
capturing it. c. Tibbits, the company's
driver, sleeps in the expires Office,
but on the night of the robbery he was
attending ball and did not return un-
til o'clock. The robbery was evidently
committed between 1l:30 and 1890 Sat
urday night, while Tbbitts was absent.
There is no clue to the robbers.
