The Army OF Tranlps.

There can be no doubt that the tramp
is in certain sense the maker and
chooser of his own career. The writer s
experience with these Migrants has con-
WINGED him that, though they arc almost
always tho victims Of liquor and lazi-
ness, fully four-fifths of Americas vol
untary beggars have begun their wide
and restless ways while still in their
teens, and have been furthered in their
wrong tendencies by unwise treatment
applied to them when young.
Year after year, even month after
month, trampdom is increased by squads
Of youths who will soon take and hold
tho places of their elders, who will nat
urally drop away with tho years. These
boyish roadstcrs are moro often illegiti-
mate than lawful children and conse-
qucntly proper subjects for state care
and guardianship. And the fact that
every tramp in tho United States has
spent some part Of his youth in re-
form school, or, worst of ALL in jails,
demonstrates that there is q failure
somewhere i'll our system of correction
and reformation and makes it necessary
and only fair that the sociologist as
we'll as the reformer should know the
tramp from boyhood to manhood Su-
perficial and unsympathetic studies of
his character, with shallow theories
about remedial measures, have so far
failed signally III checking his malign
influence upon society. 80 How Men Be

SALT LAKE. Sept. ga special to
the Tribune from Cheyenne. Wyo., says:
A conference was held today by repre-
sentativcs of the interior department. the
department of justice and the war depart
mont and the state territorial authorities
of Wyoming on the recent trouble be-
tween the Bannocg Indians and the
Jackson's Hole settlers. and the prospects
are that the trouble will be settled to the
satisfaction of all concerned. The gov
ernment was represented by Provence

The state OF Wyoming was represented by

venter.
Mr.. Mccormick proposed test case be
made and decision arrived at as to
the rights of Indians to hunt on public
unoccupied lands under their treaty,
either by having an Indian arrested by
the state for hunting and an application
brought by the United States attorney for
Wyoming for a writ of habeas corpus for
the release of such prisoner, or in some
other way, and that in case it shall be de-
cided the Indians have a right to hunt
and that the laws of Wyoming are of no
effect as against them, Governor Rich
ards shall, by all the means in his pow
er protect the Indians in such rights. If
it should be decided by the courts that
the Inoians have no right to hunt in vio-
lation of state laws, then his departm ent
is to recon mend to the congress that an
agreement be made with them for the re-
linquishment of the right guaranteed to
them by the treaty of 1868, which, they
claim, is still in force. Governor Rich
ards at once agreed to this proposition
and suggested that two test cases be
made, one charging an Indian with Sill-
ing game out of season and another
charging an Indian with killing game
not for imm ediate use.
Mr.. Mccormick Will leave tomorrow
for Fort Hall reservation, where he will
secure two Bannock Indians and bring
them to Evanston, Wyo., for arrest
in accordance with the plan outline i,
whichwas put into the form of a written
agreement.

A British Demonstration to Be

SHANGHAI, Sept. 20. - Failing the
entire compliancs Of the central govern
ment with the British demands, it is un-
derstood that feet OF fourteen warships
will make demonstration before Nam
king on Tuesday or Wednesday next.
The British demand is that within four
teen days an edict must be issued degrad-

LONDON. Sept. 29.-The Standard says
regarding the Chinese situation:
The position of the Chinese govern
ment is extremely perilous. 1t has
enough on its hands without quarrel
with England. 1t is too soon to say that
the tall of tile Manchu dynasty is immi-
nent, but the news of the spread of the
Manommedan insrrrection in the prov
ince uf Kan Su is alarming. The British
demands must be supported by the pres
encs of orr fleet in the Yang-tse Kiang
if not by the occupation OF Marking.

could survive such a shock. IT the Ma
hommehans OF the west find q leader
and if at the same time the imperial gov
eminent is rash enough to defy the peers,
a revolution is inevitable"
LONDON, Sept. 29.-The Times dwells
upon China being a huge and inert mass,
whose friendship is not worthy the culti-
waiting by feeble concessions to her pre-
tensions and her pride.

About 800 people Travelled out to Agri-

were to give an exhibition of their skill
to those attending. And they saw some
sport that. allowing for the tameness

the toreadors busy lodging his vicions

BIZ rather a tame one and the bullfght-

came down, but instead he caught hold
of the rope that ran around the top OF
the fence and pulled himself up out of
harms way. By quick work the man in

ring, the man in red did little else but
sprint all the time.
When the fourth pull was brought in
