SANTA FE RECEIVERSHIP.
Judge Thayer Will Sit with Judge
Foster and Hear the Case Re
argued To morrow.

Topeka, Nov. 30.-In the Santa Fe re-
csiyership case the U. s.. district court
to-day will determine whether the dis
trict court of Jefferson county or the
federal court shall have the jurisdiction.
Judge Foster later announced that the
matter will be re-argued tomorrow and
that Judge Thayer, of the circuit court
of appeals of St. Louis will sit with him.
Foster said as the decision involves not
only the Santa Fe company but a ques-
tion of conflict between the state and
federal courts he believed the matter could
not be too carefully considered.

GERONIMO'S APACHES.
Present Amiable ana Satisfactory
status of Those Who Formerly
TerrOrized the Southwest.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-The secretary of
war in his annual report for 1896 just
made public, says of old Chief Geroni mo
and his band of Apaches:
The Indiars now in confinement num-
ber 310, all members of the Apache tribe,
who we're captured in Arizona in the
years 1Ss7-S8. While in captivity there
have been III births and 1916 deaths.
They are now established in the mill
tary reservation at Fort Sill, Okla, and
areliving in comfortable d dwellings bu,ltby
their own labor. Tho climate In this re-
gion is arid and not we'll adapted to farm
ing, but these Indians last year raised up
ward of 5000 bushels of an African corn,
eaee ann tons Of corn fodder,
i pd 4O,a1QAel
ons. they y~naveTnoru- ut 1,l57sht4dsti
cattle, including 28C calf increase Sussss
the year,
The special appropriations made by
congress for their benefit aggregate the
sum Of $4,000, OF which nearly $4,000
was expended for cattle--for these In.
aians must become pastoral people
and $500 for building materials, tools,
seeds, etc. Their rations, clothing, med
icines and incidentals supplied by the
quartermaster, subsistence and medical
departments since their arrival at Fort
Sill have cost the additional sum Of $44,-
900. They have now. made such progress
towards basis of self sustenance that
no further special appropriation by
congress is needed.
The title to the lands comprised in the
military reservation of Fort Sill is in the
Kiowa and Comanche Indians. and when
the military shall have no further use for
this post the reservation will revert to
these Indians. The Apaches will then be
trespassers on these lands, unless mean
while the title to the area occupied by
them shall be acquired. l recommend
that this be done, and that the status of
these Apaches as prisoners be then ter
minated. The area required for their
maintenance is about $4,000 acres. Their
homes before capture we're in Arizona,
but it is not practicable for them to re-
turn there. If settled permanently where
they now are they will become entirely
self-sustainng in very few years. If
dispossessed from their lands they must
be sent elsewhere, and all work done in
their present location will be lost to
them.
