London, May 7.-Baron Hood OF Ava
lon, a retired admiral. and formerly
lord OF the admiralty. called the atten-
ton Of the house OF lords today to the
large increase in foreign navies and
asked whether the proposed increase OF
the British navy provided for in the
estimate was sufficient TO insure to
Great Britain the command OF the
seas.
Baron Hood especially urged an In
crease Of Gcseo men in the personnel
OF the navy.
The first lord Of the admiralty, Earl
Spencer, said that the government was
determined to maintain the navy and
to render Great Britain paramount up
on the sea. The government scheme.
he added. provided for the naval re-
quirements OF the next Ave years. but
II was not thought advisable to an
nounce the details before hand.

form Of government established. The
committee thinks, however. a partial
remedy may be found In the appoint
ment of the additional Justices and the
appointment by the court of commis-
sioners for the different localities who
shall have final jurisdiction In INSIDE
meanors. where the punishment does
not exceed imprisonment for six months.
and in civil suits where the amounts
involved does not exceed $500. This
change. the report says. Will result in
a great reduction OF expense TO the
government and far better administra-
ton Of Justice than now exists. The
present system is intorlerable. The
report also refers to the fact that the
children OF the white and black popu-
lation are deprived OF the advantages
of the common schools. and says that
while the parents OF the chill iren may
have gone TO the Territory with a
knowledge OF this condition. The people
of the United States cannot uffprd to
shut their eyes to the wrong to the
children and declares that the matter
of allowing the children of so large
POPULATION to grow up In Ignorance
is one OF national concern.
The question OF the occupance of the
land is treated at length. The COM
mittee finds that the original theory
of the government that the Indians
were to own the land In common, all
having equal interest In 1t
Hns been violated
and THAI few enterprlsing citizens OF
the tribe. frequently not Indians, but
citizens by inter-marriage. have be-
come the practical owners OF the best
and greatest part of the land. In
stances. they say. come to their no.
tice OF men having as high as 100
white tenants, and in one case reported
a white man. though an Indian citizen
by marriage. had 400 holdings, amount
ing to about 10000 acres In the most
progressive OF the tribe the committee
found that about 100 persons had APP
proprlated half of the best land. The
report says that this condition of affairs
was never contemplated and suggests
that congress shall take the matter in
hand and provide remedy In the In
terest OF both whites aud Indians. No
remedy is suggested at this time. how.
ever. because the Dawes commission
is now in the Indian territory for the
purpose of submitting 10 the several
tribes proposition for a change of
the present unsatisfactorv condition

Washington, May 7-Senator Teller
from the committee on the five civ

the report of that committee, giving
the result of the committees recent in
vestigatlons Of affairs in the Indian
Territory, The report shows an anom-
olous condition OF society and indi-
Gates that many abuses have grown up
which is necessary should be corrected.
1t is not a final report, however. and
while existing evils are brought out
in a manner that must attract atten-
tion, the remedy for the entire trouble
is only limited at, and is left 10 be
formulated at later day. The report
gives the Indian population of the ter
ritory at Eo,G55, while the white n, pu-
lation. which, when the last census
was taken, was 1903 1893 is now estimated
to be between 100000 and 100000. In
some of the agricultural sections there
are ten whites 10 one Indian. and there
are several large towns composed
wholly of whites. These whites have
no right TO citizenship. cannot become
the owners Of land. cannot SCI d their
children to the common schools. and
cannot so into
The Local Courts
Outside Of the Cherokee nation. they
cannot even organize municipal SOW

all these questions and declares that a
remedy must be provided.

made with the Indians by the govern
mcnt of the United States had provided
against the intrusion of the whites the
report says; I'VE made it possible for
