WILL MAKE A CHANGE.
Indian Contract Schools to He Abolished
as Rapidly as Possible.

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 denominational
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. It 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.
Il would suggest" says General
Armstrong, "to you as we'll as to all Of
the religious orders which have con-
tract schools OH the reservation, that
you prepare yourselves for still further
reductions next year, as the tendency
now is to gradually do away with con-
tract schools and to place Indian chill
dren as far as possible 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, I think, will
be the final outcome Of all controversy
and legislation on the subject.
1T is a matter over which this offica
has no control as it will be regulated
entirely by congress-

ALL FACTIONS UNITED.
The War Has Healed All Party Differences
in Japan.

The war Has Healed All farty I1uerences
in Japan.
LONDON, Oct. 16.-A dispatch from
Toxic says that an imperial rescript has
been issued convoking the Japanese
parliament in extra session at Hiro-
shima. The session is to last seven
days and it is for the purpose of dis
cussing matters connected with the ex-
listing war which require parliamentary
sanction. At the time of the dissolu-
ton of the last parliament the various
party leaders were at swords points,
but the war has healed all difficulties,
and efforts are being made to have all
the parties and factions represented in
the new cabinet. None of the portfolios
are vacant, but it is proposed to create
new cabinet offices in order to secure
the cooperation Of the former opposi-
ton leaders. Among those urged for
the new Offices are the most active lead
ers of the parties which were opposed
to the government prior to the war.
These include Count Chuma. Count
Iatagaki, Count Matsukata and
Viscount Shinagawa.

FOR A DRY DOCK.
Prospect For a Great Naval Station at the
Mouth of the Mississippi.

Prospect For a Great Naval Station at the
Mouth of the Mississippi.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l6.-Judge Advo-
cate General Lemley of the navy has
just returned to Washington from New
Orleans, where he completed the pur-
chase of a tract of land adjoining the
site for dry dock at Algiers, opposite
the city. The price paid was $4,000.
The prospect of the establishment of
great dock and naval station at the
mouth of the Mississippi has directed
the attention of the military authorities
to the necessity for extending the gen.
eral scheme of coast defense to that
post. It is felt that the absence of
modern defenses at the mouth of the
great river is fatal weakness in the
general system, as it would afford an
enemy the opportunity of cutting the,
country in two and paralyzing the in
ternal commerce of the Union.

Reports of Danger Exaggerated.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-A cablegram
has been received at the state depart
ment from United States Minister
DENLY at Pekin which is calculated to
reassure persons who have friends in
China and who have been fearful as to
their safety. The minister says that
the reports of danger to the foreign
residents of Pekin are exaggerated.
There has been only one instance of an
attack on Americans, and adequate
punishment was melted out at once to
the perpetrators. A proclamation has
been issued by the authorities enjoin-
ing protection for foreigners.

Half Million In Gold Withdrawn From the
New York Sub-Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-United States
Treasurer Morgan received telegram
from Treasurer Jordan at New York
stating that 100000 in gold had been
withdrawn from the sub.treasury for
export. This is the first withdrawal Of
any Importance that has been made
since Aug. & last, and the news has had
disquieting effect among treasury Of
ficials. 1t is not, however, wholly un-
equipped. During the first week in
August the gold reserve had been re-
duced to little below $52,000,000. AT
that time the export season had run its
course and small gains from day to day
at length brought the reserve up to
over $50, 100000.

TALE OF CRIME.
Robinson Confesses to the
Murder of Attorney Gibbs
@s&s at Buffalo,.
HIS WIFE FIRED THE SHOT.
Gibbs Made a Hard Struggle
for His Lifetime Criminal
Record.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 16.-Clarence Rob.
inson, the convicted burglar in the
county Jail here, made confession
which confirms what his wife had al
ready told the police and removes all
doubt about the murder of Montgomery
Gibbs, the Buffalo attorney, in April
last. When Deputy Superintendent of
Police Cusack and District Attorney
Benedck of Buffalo arrived here during
the morning they were armed with the
confession which Mrs. Robinson had
made to the Buffalo police. They went
at once to the Jail and were shown into
the corridor where Robinson was. The
prisoner was asked to tell the officers
what he knew about the Gibbs murder.
After two hours questioning the pris-
oner broke down completely. Bowling
his head upon his hands he began to
sob. Then
He Told His Story.
"When we arrived in Buffalo last
spring." he said, 1--WE were in want.
We lived first at 100 East Eagle street
in Buffalo, but during the week before
the murder we had room at 146 North
Division street.
"When we started out that night
Sadie wore mems clothes and we each
carried 32-calibre revolver. She had
British bulldog and mine was of the
Smith & Wesson pattern. We walked
along Delaware avenue and passed
seven or eight persons. Gibbs ap-
preached us and said to Sadie, here
comes swell guy
"'He looks too big for u.s. she
answered.
US, and, leveling my revolver at him, I
ordered him to throw up his hands. In
tead Of doing SO he struck me with a
cane or umbrella. Then he grabbed
my right wrist and we had
Fight for the Revolver.
When he laid hold Of my wrist the re-
volver was fired, but the bullet went
into the air. A moment later there
was another shot and the bullet entered
Gibbs left arm. He fell toward me
and we clinched. Then it was that
Sadie pulled her revolver and shot him
in the head. He dropped and we
started to rob him, when we saw some
body coming. We skipped out, climb
ing over the hedge fence and, running
between two houses, we separated and
met on back street. Then we walked
around the block and back past the
place of the murder, but on the oppo-
site side of tho street. They were load.
ing him into a wagon as we went by"
In her statement to the Buffalo police
Mrs. Robinson claimed that Robinson
had
Fired the Three Shots
and that she did not use her revolver.
Turnkey Abrams has the statement of
two persons, however, to whom Mrs.
Robinson admitted that she fired the
shot which killed Gibbs.
The authorities here have promised
to defer the sentence Of Robinson for
10 days in order to give the Buffalo
court a chance to pass on his confess
sion. If he is indicted he will be de-
ivered to the authorities of Erie county,
N. Y. for trial.

Pacific Express Company at the Dnllcs,
Or, Robbed of q Large Sum.
The DALLES, Ore., Oct. l6.-The Pa
cifc Express company's office in this
city has been robbed Of fla, 900 or $l5.-
600. 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 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. G. 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 I'M
til O'Clock. The robbery was evidently
committed between 1l:30 and 1890 Sat-
urday night, while Tibbitts was absent.
There is no clue to the robbers.
