The regual rannuaI meeting Of the Wash
ington Auxiliary of the WOman's National
Indian Association was held yesterday
morning in the red parier OF the Ebbitt
House.
In the absence of Mrs. Col. Bracket, the

Mrs. Craighead, the recording secretary,
filled their respective offices.
The feature OF the meeting was an al
dress by Mr.. F. E. Leupp, of the Board OF
IndianCommissioner aud Indian Rights
A Association. Mr. Leupp advocated the pas
sage OF the Teller bill and spoke strongly
in favor OF a reorganization OF the Indian
Bureau.
Mrs. Capt. Beck entertained those present
with "a discourse ON the Indians OF Omaha,
and told of her experiences among them.
She did not believe in the present aHot-
ment arrangement, aud said the trouble
with the rednen was caused by unprincipled
whites. She stated that one judge having
decided "a case adversely to an Indian
being demonstrated with replied:
"Oh. well, he is only an indian. I viii
always decide in favor of the white man"

some OF the wrongs Terpetrated upon the
members of her tribe.

OF TRAVELS UNDER The sun
Mrs. Wards Discourse Before the
Geographic Society.
Coast Are. She Says, Deficient In
Good Local Government.

Mrs Fannie 3. Ward spoke last night be-
fore the National Geographic Society at
its fourteenth meeting OF the winter course
OF lectures held at MetZerott's Music Hall
Miss Wards subject was South America -
She has Travelled extensively in Tue Latin
countries OF this continent, aud told most
graphically OF her experiences there. The
lecture was Illustrated with many hand
some views taken by the speaker during
her trip.
Mrs Ward confined herSelf to the Pa
cific coast and described Bolivia, Peru
Chile and Colombia i'll great detail. OF
the last named country Mrs. Ward spoke
OF as being perhaps the least knownto peo-
pie OF the United States among all their
Southern ncighbors. Because of it's in
accessibility ami LIe great distance from the
sea coast OF it's capital and larger cities,
but few travellers have spent the time nee
essary to visit It, Theodore Child in his
articles on South American countries failed
to penetrate beyond the mountains OF the
coast and so missed sight of the beauti-
full inland plain which he could have de
sCribed so well.
The lecturer then told of the long and
tiresome Journey up the Magdaleila river
and the mule-hack ride across the almost
impossible mountain ranges aud finally
down into the plateau of BOGota, the capital
city, and one of the garden spots of South
America. Although near the equator the
great height OF 5000 feet above sea level
gives the city most delightful climate a
perpetual springtimc, where the thermem-
eter has never gone below so degrees or
above 10 degrees.
Mrs Ward told of the great resources
of the country so little known 10 the out
side world In its gold output it is only
exceeded 10y the United States and Aus
tralia, while Colombian coffee brings
higher price i'll the New York markets
than any other.
In Chile the natives have taken more
quickly to the ways Of the foreigners than
have her neighbors, and even in the rural
districts the native dress and customs have
almost entirely disappeared.
Speaking of these countries in a general
way, Mrs. Ward said that it Is surprising
to note the rapid advancement made in
many ways. Electric lights ana tramways
are seen everywhere, but the thing most
needed in the cities is good payements, FOR
in this particular all South American towns
are far behind their northern sisters.
