SCkNLON'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED
The Actor of Irish Pays Slowly Dying
in BlOOmlngdale AS, lum.


in BlOOmlngdale AS, lum.
New York, Jan. 6.-Only a few weeks
more Of life. at the most, remain to
BILLY" Scanlan, who in his lifetime has
given joy and pleasure to hundreds Of
thousands Of theater-goers in this coun-
try, and whose forced withdrawal from
the boards by the decline Of his mental
powers marked the beginning Of the de
cline Of those distinctively Irish plays
once SO popular with the sons and
daughters Of Erin's isle.
For weeks and months poor billy"
and who for a long time after his re-
ception at Bloomingdale asylum was
among the gayest of the gay in that no
ted retreat, has lain upon his bed utter
ly unconscious Of his surroundings, and
there have been a dozen times within
this period when nurses and physicians
in attendance have imagined that the
last spark of life was Pickering. Food
and stimulants are administered to
him in liquid form, but even with this
nourishment he has wasted away to
skeleton and his vitality is SO low that
his legion Of friends and acquaintances
in this city are expecting at any mo-
ment to learn that he has passed to his
last account

BOUND BY TREATY STlPULATI ms
Government Must Watch Over Indians
Even When Full Pledged Citizens;

Omaha, Jan. 7.-Judge Shiras OF
Iowa, in the federal court today render
ed a decision declaring that in cases
where Indians have become citizens
with ali accompanying privileges, the
government is still bound by all treaty
stipulations existing while tribal rea-
tions We're sustained He holds that it
applies on all reservations and is wide
in it's scope
The decision was rendered in the
F'lournoy Land Company's APPEAL,
wherein they ask to have its claims to
Indian lands sustained. The court de-
clares that the fact that Indian al1ot-
tees are declared citizens of the United
States does not render void as to them
or as to remaining portions of the tribes
the restrictions upon rights of aliena-
ton contained in the several acts of
congress under which allotments in Sew
crafty have been made, and declares the
leases of the defendants wholly void,
and the obligation applies to all Indian
reservations.

London, Jan. 6.-The following dis
patch has been received from Johannes

"a dispatch from Kruegersdorf to-
night reports that the survivors of DR..
Jameson's forces are in a terrible con-
dition, having had no sleep or food since
December 29 A meeting of the Ger
mans yesterday decided to send depu-
tation to assure President Kureger Of
their loyalty, though they have no
grievances. They telegra phed to EN-
peror William, through the German
consul, imploring him to bring pressure
to prevent England from meddling in
the Transvaal.
The defense committee in Johannes
burg is serving out arms. A provisional
government has been declared with
force Of 10000 Thousands Of Beers are
outside of the town. Offers of help from
all parts of Cape Colony have been re-
received by the defense committee and
men are enrolling rapidly"
A dispatch from Cape Town, January

"President Kruger has stopped the
food supplies into johannesburg. The

WASHINGTON DELEGATION A UNIT

Want puhlie Buildings for Spokane
Nalfa " ALA. seattle and Tacoma
Washington, Jan. 5.-Washington's
senator's and representative are a unit
i'll favor of public buildings for the
cities of Seattle, Spokane, Walla Walla
and Tacoma. and the usual formality
of having bills introduced and referred
to the proper committees have been
gone through with early in the session.
1t will not be surprising, however, if
all efforts fail in this congress- Mr.
lteed is known to be opposed to such
appropriations at a time of great tinan-
cial stress, and as chairman of the
committee on rules he will exercise a
cZar-like power upon all legislation
The fact that the architect OF the
treasury and the commissioner of the
their subordinates in these cities for in
formation regarding the needs of the re-
spective government officials for ac-
commodatiOnS, etc, means nothing,
save that the bills already introduced
will be referred to the architect and
to the commissioner for their reports
as to the advisability or rather desir-
ability Of their construction at the pres
e4IL sliIiS: anu IL is SliotoiliftiS 10 AsiNe
the Information called for at hand in
order that an immediate reply may
be made.
1t is believed by many of the newer
members that public building bills
modest in their demands, wherever the
need for the same can be clearly shown,
can be passed through the house de-
spite the opposition of the older lead
ers, and as such bills went through the
senate last session no trouble is feared
there The more conservative members,
however, look for the real difficulty at
the White house, and certain ones close
to the president say he will never sign
a bill for such purpose while there is
a deficiency in the revenue, or need
for an issue of bonds to maintain the
gold reserve.

SENATORIAL Fight IN KENTUCKY
Session Just Opened Promises to BE
Most Bitter-Deadiock Possible.

Most Bittsr-neadiock Possible.
Frankfort, KY, Jan. 1.-THE general
assembly which was elected on Novem-
Der last convened here today 1t will
elect a United States senator to sue
ceed Hon. Joseph C. S. Blackburn,
whose term expires a year from next
March. and the session promises to be
a lively time from the fact that the
two principal parties, for the first time
in the history of Kentucky, are nearly
evenly divided in each house, while
there Will be a tie on joint ballot with
two populists holding the balance of
power, and consequently in a position
to name the next senator.
Mr.. Blackburn, whose claims for re-
election are opposed by Congressman
James B. McCreary, expresses himself
as confident of success, but his Oppo-
nent is equally sanguine. The contest
between the supporters of the two can
didates has been very bitter and prom
ises to become even more so before the
meeting of the democratic caucus. It is
riyalled, however, by the race between
the republican candidates for the NOM
nation, and who include Congressman
w. Godfrey Hunter, of the Third dis
Augustus f. Wilson, of Louisville,
Judge W. H. Holt, of Frankfort, Con-
gresham Walter Evans, of Louisville,
and a dozen or more dark horses that
have been 'mentiOned."
On the eve of the assembling of the
legislature, it is a matter of the field
against Hunter, but Notwithstanding
this the latter is confident of success,
The senate this afternoon was organ
lied by the democrats. while the repuh-
leans have control of the house. Each
party has 6S votes on joint ballot, while
the populists have two. One of the lat
ter will vote with the democrats on
nearly all issues, while his colleague
will do likewise with the republicans.
Should they vote according to these
predictions on the senatorial issue, the
tie will of course remain unbroken, and
there will be a deadlock similar to that
which has left Delaware without a
senior representative in the United
States senate.
The capital is crowded with politi-
clans, and some exciting times are
expected during the next few weeks

FEARS OF iHE TREASURY REALIZED

Popular Loan Idea.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE Posts Washing-
ton special says:
The fears entertained of a run on the
gold reserve bid fair to be realized In
formation was received at the treasury
department today that orders for the
importat ton Of gold had been cancelled
and $4,000, ,00G will go out by tomorrow's
steamers. Private advices from New
York also tell of large Withdra walls for
domestic sequestration. This is what
the administration feared more than
Withdrawals for export. 4 score of dis
patches poured into Washington this
afternoon from Wall street news agen-
cies asking for the latest about the
treasury situation. 1t is not improb-
able that the secretary of the treasury
may be forced to abandon his popular
loan program and make another syn
dicate deal within 10 days or two weeks
to protect the reserve against annihila-
ton The reserve will be down to $5S,-
100000 by tomorrow night on known fig
ures.
