TO LEASE LANDS.

WASHINGTON. March 29.-Represeuta-
tive Turpie's resolution authorizing the
secretary of the interior to lease lands in
Oklahoma belonging to the Kiowa, Com
anche and Apache Indians, will be bitterly
fought by the Oklahoma delegate and
those who have interested themselves in
opening these lands to settlement. The
resolution provides that the lands can be
leased for one year at a minimum price of
10 cents per acre, but shall 90 TO the high
est bidder
The resolution conflicts with one now
pending, introduced by Representative
Flynn, instructing the secretary to issue
no more leases
Pending the controversy over the ratifi-
cation of the sale of the lands they are
idle, and the Indians, unless some action
is taken, will receive nothing for their use.

ADMIRAL WALKERS MISSION.

WASHINGTON, March 29-Wheu Admir-.
al JOhu u. Walker sails from San Fran
cisco on April 5th for Honolulu he will
carry with him instructions having a
most important bearing on the Boring
sea question. All speculation aud reports
to the contrary Notwithstanding. Admir-
al Walker was not selected by the presi-
dent for this mission on account of any
threatening condition of affairs in Hawaii,
for the official advices received from that
country give no hint of trouble or
of restoration to be expected
in the near future. and Admiral Walkers
stay at Honolulu will not extend over
two months at most. OF course. during
his stay if trouble should arise he will be
in a position to command the situation,
but there is no such expectation, and the
admiral's mission has TO do mostly with
the sea question. The arbitration just
concluded provides for joint protection
by the United States and Great Britain
over the seal water, aud these two nations
are bound to secure, if they can. the
cooperation of other interested nations
Russia, Japan and China, aud perhaps
Germany. The POLICING of the seal wat
ers which had previously been a temper
airy eXpedient was made a permanent
charge upon the parties to the ar arbitration,
aud the difficulties in the execution Of the
task had been enormously increased by
the vast extent Of the protected zone fixed
by the arbitration. comprising all of the
Pacific ocean east Of the 1S0th meridian,
and north of the thirty-fifth parallel and
Boring sea- Ii the effort to secure the CO.
operation of Russia, Japan and China
should succeed, OF which there is every
promise. the zone would he still further
extended SO as to include the western Pa
cif1c to the shores of Asia. No such task
as this, the policing of "a vast ocean, was
ever before undertaken, and it became
necessary to devise a system By which this
could be done effectively. economically and
permanently by ihe combined action of
the nations interested.
The first requisite to an effective and
economical patrol was the establishment
of permanent basis of supplies. There
will probably be three of these-San Fran
cisco on the east, Yokahoma on the west
and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in the center,
all on the lower boundary of the protected
zone. The first two are already within
reach, but it is the establishments of the
third which has caused Admiral
Walkers journey to Hawaii. He will
select the best location. looking to
its adaptability for the ready supply, and
in limited way, repair of the cruisers en-
gagged Ia tie patrol service, estimate the
difficulties to be met in dredging a channel
Harbor. and upon his report to the presi-
Gent will depe nd the expenditure OF the
$3.50 600 which has for two years been at
tue disposal of the president for the estah-
l!shment of naval stations.

II Happened.

The fore sight Lord R0scbery dis.
played In arranging his matrimonial
plans is illustrated In the following
anecdote: Shortly after he had re-.
turned from his Continental tour, he
was one OF house.party at Ment-
more, a l0rdly pleasure home which
Baron Meyer Rothschild had built
for himself In Buckinghamshire. One
evening, at dinner, the conversation
turned on the exquisite decorations
Of the room. Lord R0sebery's OBJ.
servation to his next neighbor, by
way OF epil0gue to the conversation,
was: "Yes this piece would suit me
excellently" When, seven years
later, he had married the daughter of
the house, and was the owner Of
Mentmore, his friend, happening to
meet him, reminded him OF this obser-
walton. Lord ROsebery replied with
assumed gravity, but with tell.tale
twinkle in his eye: swell, OF course
you know that the unexpected always
