to the houac bill confirming tho title
Of mixed blood Indians to their lands

urged, have not The force they had
againet a previous maaHur8 on the same
subject. That applied to Indians Of
half-blood, while tho present measure
applies to Indians Of quarter blood. The
committee thinks Indians having only
one quarter Indian blood ought to be
able to asaume the responsiblitieH Of
citizenship and boar some Of ite burdens
equally with their white neighborg. 1t
is proposed to allow such Indians to sell
and dispose Of their lands and incumber
the same; also to subject the lands Of

and at times dramatic convention today

from this state for many years, Won
everything he set out to get and after
completely routing his opponents he
asked leave himself to withdraw, OK.
planning that he had not intended to be
candidate at this time, but wanted
rest. However, fight had been started
against him and he did not propose to
be trampled on by a lot of "kids," and he
went into the fight. He had won and
was satisfied and asked that d. w. Law
ler be named in his place and the
committee agreed promptly. The
first fight came at the etart
and was between the gold and
silver faction, the former winning. Ex-
Congressman O. M. Hall was the candi-
date of the gold standard people and E..
T. Champin, of the silver men. The
debate was warm and covered d wide
range, with many hard words passed
back and forth, and the vote resulted in
a victory for Hall of IJl to $50. Soon
afterward the temporary 'organiza
ton was made permanent, without Op-
position, and the credentials and rcsolu-
tions committees were appointed aud a
recess taken for dinner. 1t was nearly
1 O'Clock when work was resumed, and
then, after the credentials committee
had reported, two reports were made by
the committee on platform. \ majority
report, signed by eight members Of the
committee, was a straight declaration
for the gold standard, and that of the
minority, six members, was Il strong IL
to free silver plank.
On this also there was warm contest
and the majority report was finally
adopted, the vote beng 43G to ,}23. Thon
came the fight on Doran as the head Of
the delegation, which was the third hot
talking match Of the day, and -nsul ed =,
52G for Doran to 221 for Hall as chair
man of the delegation. After his third
victory, DOran withdrev and Lawler wge

VIII Initiate Our Government in It's
Consular Service.

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. Thomas EW-
ing Moore, United States commercial
agent at Weimar. has called the atten-
ton of the department of state to the
fact that the British government has
taken steps to supplement it's consular
service by the appointment of COM
mercial attaches. So far two of these
attaches have been appointed, one at
Berlin, whose field comprises Germa-
ny, the Netherlands and Scandinavia,
and one al Madrid for Spain and por-
tugal.
The duties of these officials are to
relieve the consuls of the work of in
PRODUCING British goods into foreign
markets, and the beginning Of this
service has been noted with alarm by
England's greatest trade competitor,
Germany, where the press has begun
already an agitation looking to the re-
form Of the German consular service
to meet England's action, involving a
special educa ton and preparation of
young men for consular careers. 1t is
demanded that the consular officers be
men commercially and technically
trained, or else that they be supplied
with specially trained assistants.
Mr.. Moore attributes this agitation
in both Great Britain and Germany for
the remOdeling Of the consular service
to a perception Of the excellent results
attending the development by the
United States Of a system of consular
reports upon ma tiers calculated TO
benefit American producers and mer-
chants.

TWO MEETINGS IN THE EVENING
Giving an Idea of the Political
Sentiment.

ColfaX, Sept. 5.--The two different DO
litical meetings held here tonight give
some idea of the drift of political santi-
ment in Whitman county, and as par
" lines were pretty closely drawn IN
the attendance some index is given of
the probable vote of the CoisuX PIE
cincts
At the Mckinley republican head
quarters the aged DR.. c. NJ. Boswell ad-
dressed an enthusiastic gathering Of
about so persons, mostly members Of
the club Dr. Boswell is over so years
old, and SO feeble that he made his
speech, which was of considera ole
length, sitting in a chair. He is an cd
campaigner, however, and an excellent
talker, and was frequently greeted with
enthusiastic applause in his defense Of
republican principles and his denunci-
alton as dishonest Of those who favor
free silver coinage.
In very marked contrast to this meet
ing, fully 300 people gathered at the
courthouse to listen to mastery aG-
dress by Hon. W c. Jones. The audi
ence included q large number Of ladies,
and his telling points were wildly APP
plauded. Two or three times in the
course of his remarks the speaker was
forced to wait for the applause 10
cease, and at the close of an 80-minute
address the audience would hardly let
him stop, but cried, go on, go on"
