REPORT ON THE INDIANS.


Commissioner Browning Says the Red Man
IL Becoming an Adept In Handicrafts--
Restriction Of the Sale OF Liquor Urged.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-Commission-
err of Indian Affairs Browning has sub
mitted his annual report He says that
with no outbreaks during the year the
education and civilizing Of the Indians
has progressed and the main effort now
is and for years must be to get the In
dian on his allotment so as to become
self-supporting. The Indians are be-
coming adopts in handicrafts and re-
ceived last year in pay from the gov.
eminent over S5OO,O0O for work done.
The commissioner reviews the steps
taken by congress to extinguish the
claims Of the Ogden Land Co. to the
lands Of the Senecas in New York
state. The question OF the fishery
rights Of the Yakima Indians in the
extreme northwest is still trou olesome
because Of the infrineements of the
whites upon Indian rights which have
not been succe ssfully protected.
Educstion has progressed rapidly in
the government and industrial train
ing schools There were enrolled in
all schools 2s,s52 pupils The commits
sioner praises the work OF the field
matrons. He suggests that the COM
missioner appointed to treat with sew
eral tribes OF Indians for their lands
be continued to clear up the work.
Nearly all applications for Indians for
exhibition purposes have been refused.
The commissioner lays stress of need
of legislation to restrict the sale of
liquor in the Indian reservations.

The Presidential Candidate Speaks to an
Enthusiastic Audience--Sewall Makes y
Few Remarks.
New YORK, Sept. 3O.-Whether it
may be set down to the enthusiasm for
a candidate or the natural curiosity
that predominates in the American
public, 1t is nevertheless fact that the
demonstration that greeted William J.
Bryan last night in this city was most
remarkable in its character, Every
man who entered the Auditorium was
presented with flag, so that when
anything pleased tho audience, the
crowded hall seemed one huge wave Of

Money Ut Discount.

WASHINGTON, Sept 30 The atten.
ton Of Commissioner Stump, Of the
emigrant bureau, was called to the
movement looking to the colonization
in this country of Armenian refugees
Mr.. Stump said that Secretary Carlisle
and himself had been fully advised Of
such movement. and various appeals
had been made from Lady Henry Som.
erset and from Frances Willard and
English and American relief associa.
tions asking for the cooperation Of
the government in furnishing these
stricken people an asylum in the United
States. nut while the sympathies Of
all good people must be aroused in
their behalf, the officers of the
government must enforce the
laws as they exist The matter was
being investigated, and il any lawful
means could be found they would be
exercised in behalf of the refugees.
The law on the subject, however,
strictly inhibits the landing in this
country of all persons likely to be-
come public charge. and also ''any
person whose ticket or passage is paid
for with money Of another, or who is
assisted by others to come" This be.
ing the case, although Mr.. Stump did
not so state, it seems altogether proba.
BILE that the law necessarily was found
to be an insurmountable obstacle in
the way of relief in the manner pro-
posed.
