The White Mountains of New Hamp-

beautiful than in the cool months OF

the rainbow, contrasted with the plain
white peaks covered with snow, com pose
the features of scene which is not OBJ

picturesque spots among the granite hills
whether they lie at your feet or are miles
way in the distance.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
Hearing Postponed at the Request of
MIR. Dawes and Secretary Smith.

Hearing Postponed Mt the Request of
Mr.. Dawes and Secretary Smith.
There was to have been a hearing yester-
day in the Senate committee on Indian af-
fairs (of which Mr.. Pettigrew is chair
NAM on the general subject of the reor-
gan:zation of Indian territory. The Indian
commission, the Secretary Of Interior and
representatives of the five civilized tribes
were to have been heard. The matter was
postponed however, at the request of ex-
Senator Dawes and Secretary Smith. The
disposition of the committee appears to be
in favor of placing this territory on a foot
ing with oiher territories of the country
and to bring it within the operation of the
laws Of the United States. Senator Petit
grew says that the situation of affairs In
ton of Congress. 1t is represented that the
Indians have themselves violated the trea-
ties with the United States; that instead
of holding the lands equally, a few In
!ians own mcst of the land and ninety
nine out of hundred of them have but
poor existence. The Indians have invited
white men into the territory and leased
their lands to them, and it is represented
that 100000 whites are there outside
the jurisdiction and protection of the
United States laws. The suggestion to be
considered by the committee is to divide
the land among all the residents of the
territory, white and Indian alike; to open
it up to settlement, to abolish the Indian
legislature and courts, and to establish the
usual territorial government.

SENATOR ALLIsON's SMILE.
How He is Trying to Ambush Hi,
Presidential Aspirations.


Senator Allison has just returned from
his home, where he has succeeded, without
difficulty, in bagging the senatorsh:p again.
He is he-a now to devote the rest of the
winter in trying to ambush the presiden-
tial nomination. He has well-defined sys-
tenn for the capture of this larger game.
Silence is the chief thing. HIS friends say
that he has decided not to permit himself
to be drawn into the discussion of any gem
eral questions in the newspapers, and that
he will have no more to say on the floor of
the Senate than is absolutely necessary to
the handling of the routine business of his
committee.
His silence is seasoned with smile, that
il may not seem sullen. Such a smile! 1t
seems to creep over his face on tip-toe. 1t is
as amiable and conciliatory as possible, but
It seems to say: Hush, just between us,
rot for publication. am very friendly dis
posed toward YOU" 1t comes and goes as
gently as the smile that passes over a
babes face in it's sleep 1t is compensatory
to the listener. who waits and hears notn-
ing frG m his lips.
A few months ago Mr.. Allison did not
think it would be worth while for him to
be a presidential candidate. He told his
friends it would be useless. Now he thinks
differently about the matter. He thinks he
has nothing to do but to keep silent and TO
wait. His friends and many who are disin-
terested are encouraging him. Probably
two-thirdS of the politicians who are habit
ues of the Capitol will say that they would
rather take his chances than those of any
the other candidates is what he is waiting
for

THE TRANSVAAL SITUATION
All American Prisoners Have Been Paroled
Except Hammond. =
The State Depa artment Directs Active
Measures In Behalf of United
States Citizens.

The State Department today gave out the
following statement: ..-
"Manion, consular agent at Johannes
berg. cables Secretary Olney that all Amer
lean prisoners are out on parole except
others in that Hammond signed conditional
invitation to jameson to come to johannes
berg in case of extreme peril. Jameson
marched toward johannesburg, however,
before trouble arose. When this was dis
covered American and other leaders issued
proclamation calling On people to refrain
from hostilities Instead of melting rebel
lion, Hammond in tho beginning raised
Transvaai flag, and all in movement swore
allegiance. Clement and other Americans
took arms from many and sent men home.
Not shot was fired by the Johannesburg
party, there was no disturbance, nor sim
gle act of hostility, arms were peacefully
surrendered and every effort made to main
tain the republic as against British en-
croachment. The cases against the Ameri-
can prisoners arrested will be tried in
court, though the government has not yet
indicated time of prosecution. Manion adds
that the Transvaal government has acted
magnanimously."
In view of the foregoing it is believed
here that neither Hammond nor any other
Americans are in serious peril. The State
Department has cabled Manion to use the
most active and vigorous measures for the
relief of the Americans and to that end to
make to the Transvaal government di-
rect representations on behalf OF the
United States, which in this case acts
independently, of course, in it's own inter-
est and in behalf of it's own citizens, and
not as the sympathizer or ally of any
other power,
