ONLY TWO HURT.
The Baseball Season Opens Auspicieusly
at Miles City.

at Miles City.
MrLEs CRY, Mont, May l3.-The base
ball season opened today with a game
between the Miles City and Fort Keogh
teams, which was won by the local
team by score of 90 to 3. The game
proved disastrous to the players. Fred
Kreidler, the stenographer of the dis
trict court, and the right field of the
Miles City nine had serious accident.
In the second innings he was running
from second to third base, and in try
ing to make a slide slipped and fell,
knocking the third baseman down on
top of him. DR.. Andrus was aummoned
and found that the small bone of the
right leg was broken just above the
ankle and the latter had also been dis
located. Van Verton of Fort Keogh
was spiked and had knee sprained in
the sixth inning.

Desired by the Better Glass of In
dams in the Territory.
THE TELLER COMMITTEE
A Sad Condition Exists In the Territory
and a New Form of Government
Is Needed for the Red Men.

Senator Teller, as chairman of the
select committee which recently visited
Indian Territory for the purpose of in
curing into the condition of that sec
tioniot the country and of suggesting
any needed legislation, expects to make
his report this week. He has not yet
indicated what it will be, but it is
lear ned indirectly that it will portray a
sad state of affairs as existing among
the Indians of the Ave civilized tribes.
In all probability it will recommend
that the government give immediate at
tention to the matter.
The report is expected to present an
exhaustive argument in favor of con-
gress taking some steps to change the
political conditions now existing in the
territory and to bring the Indians into
a closer relation to the government.
Under the present system the Indians
have sort of government of their own
which is neither tribal nor territorial,
and the result is endless confusion.
since more than half of the population
is made up of white people, who, under
the law, are intruders, even though
they are engaged in business there.
They can not own real estate, nor do
they have the same rights in the local
courts in the event of litigation as do
the native citizens
A bill is now pending in congress TO
extend the Jurisdiction of the United
States courts in the territory, and an
other measure proposes an abandon
ment of the tribal relation and the
establishment of territorial govern
ment The latter measure proposes
also to invest the title TO the
lands in the individual Indian, the
tribes now holding them in common.
Ex-senator Dawes of Massachusetts is
the chairman of commission which has
been negotiating for some time with
these Indians with a view to inducing
them to allot their lands in severalty
and abandon the tribal relation, but it
has failed up TO date. The first propo-
sltlon submitted oy the commission has
been rejected and the Indians are now
considering second one.
Mr.. Teller's committee will make a
report this week which may include
some valuable suggestions, but the
Colorado senator explains that he and
his colleagues, who we're in the terri
tory only couple of weeks, did not
have time enough to study the situation
in all its phases. He will probably ask
permission to make another trip and
continue the investigations. Many or
the leading Indians recognize that the
time has come to inaugurate a radical
change in the government of the FIVE
tribes and the more progressive natives
believe that statehood for their terri
tory would be the best solution of the
problem. The influence of higher and
more progressive civilization than now
exists in the territory is demanded and
they feel that a change must come soon

ABUSED AN AMERICAN LADY.
Mrs. Renton Roughly Handled on a
Honduras Plantation.

Honduras plantation
WASHINGTON, May 13.-The United
States minister at Teguicigalpa, Hon
duras, Mr.. Young, has been instructed
by the department of state to make an
investigation of the case of Emma Rem
ton, and to report the result 10 the de-
partment. Mrs. Renton, who has just
arrived in New York from Bluefelds,
lived with her husband on a valuable
plantation in Honduras. The adjoin-
ing property was owned by the Brew
ers Wood and Produce company, the
employees of which were Canadians,
French and Scotch. The company,
according to Mrs. Renton's story, tres
passed upon her husbands property
and finally killed her husband and Mr.
Johnson, an American visitor. They
looted the plantation, dragged Mrs
Renton and her niece many miles
through a dismal swamp, threatsned
her with death, and drove her out of
Honduras into Nicaragua. She finally
reached Bluehelds and came to the
United States.

The Talmage Tabernacle Destroyed
for the Third Time.
OTHER PROPERTY BURNED
A Fine Hotel, "a Methodist Church and
Dwellings Among the List-Losses
Are Nearly Two Millions.

BRooKLYN, NAV 14.-While DR.. Tai
mage was shaking hands with his con-
gregation yesterday and about 200
people were left in the building, some
one remarked, 81 smell smoke" A
tongue of fire was seen to leap out from
between the pipes of the organ. DR..
Talmage commanded the people to leave
the church and they lost no time in
obeying the command. Two of the
trustees who we're In their room in the
tower were overcome by smoke and
had to be carried out. Within ten min
utes after the FIRST alarm had been
given the church was doomed and the
flames had extended to the Hotel Re-
gent, and the fire was soon beyond con-
troll of the tiremen. The tabernacle
and Hotel Regent were totally destroyed
and the Summerfield Methodist Episco-
pal church, together with about twenty
residences, more or less damaged. The
total loss is over $e,00o,O0O.
DR.. Talmage held quite reception at
his home during the afternoon. He
made a graphic statement of the Incl
dents connected with the fire. He said:
"At the close of the church service l
was standing at the foot of the pulpit,
shaking hands with hundreds of people
from all lands. l was abopo through
and walked toward the center of the
church, where my wife stood, when she
called my attention to fire springing
out from the top of the organ. saw at
once that it was under full Roadway,
and my first impulse was to look about
and see how many people were in the
house. To my great Joy there were
only about twenty and twenty-five doors
to get out of. l felt they would all
escape. | then went into my study,
back of the platform, passing under
blazing piping, to get my hat and coat,
and then l said to myself, Is it manly
to run off?' ] walked up and down my
study room rejoicing that this FIRE had
occurred when there was no chance of
fatality. While in this sort OF brown
study friend rushed into the room and
taking my arm said Get out of this
doomed room or you will not get out at
ALL We went out into the church.
One-half of the organ was down and the
fire had leaped to the roof. I saw that
nothing could save the building and
came out. Our church has been burned
three times and it has always been
burned on Sunday"
When asked for an opinion as TO the
cause of the fire he said emphatically
Electric lights. Electricity caused this
fire, as it did in the last tabernacle or
Scharmerhorn street"
The fire spread with lightning rapidity
and before sunset had destroyed prop
ertY worth nearly 50, 100000.

APPEALING FOR FOOD.
The Striking Illinois Miners Are New
Facing Hunger.

PEORIA, ILL.,, May 12.-The condition
of the striking miners of Peoria county
is said to be deplorable. The men have
had very little work for the past three
years and most of that time have been
employed at starvation wages. The
operators, in order to give them work
at all, have been forced to cut the price
of coal, and the wages of men CORE
spondingly. Many of them, especially
the men with families to support, are
without some of the necessaries of life
They have no money and little or no
food. An appeal has been made to the
people of Peoria for supplies Of various
kinds and donations of cash Unless
these are received the men cannot long
continue their fight. No cash will be
given out except in case of sickness.
and all single men are expected to LOOK
out for themselves.

The RedsISin Is a Successful Failure as

GREAT FALLS, May 14.-Last year sew
eral companies of Indians were enlisted
in the regular army at Fort Assina-
boine. The purpose of the government
was to give the young Indians the OPP
portunity of adopting the habits and
customs of the white race in the hope
that they would finally develop into
good soldiers and thus open a field of
usefulness for the young braves. The
experiment has proved failure and the
companies formed at Assinaboine will
