American people should do everything In

WAsnINeroN, Oct. 25.-Ofiicials of the
war department are of the opinion that the
interior department has not made out
proper case for the employ ment of troops
as posse comitatus in Indian territory.
Agent Wisdoms dispatch, on which the
application for troop is based, states that ms
one place they are wanted to run down n
band of robbers, and in another that the
treaties require Indians to be projected.
There is no question that the employ ment
OF troops under the first point wilt be clear
ly illegal, ami as to the second there Is no
evidence that The Indians themselves have
suffered or appealed for protection. Acting
Secretary Doe has re.erred the application
to he attorney general for opinion.

Griggs, president Of the ST. Paul a. Tacoma
Lumber Company, caucns nominee of the
democratic party two years ago for United
STATES senator is not taking an active part
in politics this year. having today, in an
interview, denounced free trade as imprac-
tlcable aud ruinous Speaking of competi-
ton with Canadian lumber mills, Colonel
Grggs says:
Canadian mills are all run by Chinese
except the foremen. The Chinese receive
uniform wages of 10 cents. The lowest
wages we pay is $3.50 day and from that
up to 70. Tho average is about So. The
principal cost OF our lumber or any lumber
Is in the labor. II is nothing less than abb
surd and nonsensical to suppose
that We could compete with
Canadians without cutting wuges in
accordance with the expense OF producing
lumber In Canada. That Is all thare il
about 1t and nobody can refute it,"
The interview caused u sensa ton Ia the
