ervation Trade for the

Ex-Judge D. NJ. Browning. United
States Commissioner of Indian Affairs, is
here from Washington, D. c., with his
wife and son, on his first visit to the far
West. He will remain in this City until
Wednesday or Thursday, when he will
start for Salem, Or. He purposes to in
spect number of small Indian schools in
that part OF the country before going to
the Fort Hall reservation, IN Idaho, to see
the notorious Bannocks. Afterward, if he
has any time left, he will visit other reser-
vations, but his plan is to return TO Wash
ington September Is.
For sixteen years previous to April, 1898.
the Commissioner was Judge of the Cir
cult Court at Benton, I'll. He left the
bench to accept his present position,
which in official rank is next to that of
Secretary of the Interior.

cept those of Alaska are under his charge.

lightful sort OF a condition of affairs after
all. There is a charm to her personality
and sympathetic womanly ring in her
voice. 1t is also said that she is no mean
artist in the virtues of hospitality.
Miss Kickoff is descendant of a noble
Russian family, the members OF which
have been distinguished for their in
tellectual ability.
Miss Kickoff has original thoughts not
only on the suffrage question, but in
various other fields. One of her favorite
ideas, and one that has stirred up consid-
erable discussion in literary circles, is her
belief in the educational function of the
novel.
1.-THE novel will develop into being"
said she, sthe kindergarten of the world.
1t is the greatest existing force even now
for influencing the masses.
"The only novel which Is worthy Of
filling this use is the realistic. Novels
nowadays are becoming the food for ma
turer minds and not simply the enter
tainsr of idIeness. class Zola and George
Meredith above the rank of the novelist
sTrilbv' I consider the most pernicious
work of the day. It too vividly depicts
the pleasures of vice without attaching
thereto the suffering resulting from it.
"The novel is absorbing the offices
hitherto relegated to the priests. l be-
lieve that education is far more effective
if addressed to the emotional and spiritual
part of the nature"
Miss Kickoff Is quite the fad with the
most exclusive circles in all the bay cities
She conducts classes in the criticism of
current fiction that include as members
some OF the wealtniest lovers of literature
of San Francisco and Oakland. She is an
Ohio girl, but enjoys the proud distinction
OF having been presented to the Queen.
She is constant contributor to the
North American Review. Furthermore,
she is a poetess and improvises at times
unconsciousIy. Yesterday she said, while
speaking in general way regarding the
omnipresence Of the deity: "While we
are looking for God through an intellect
ual telescope he IS calling to us from the
flowers at our feet"

abled Horses-Reports of Inhu-
manity to Pigeons,


]. NJ. Southworth, Elmer Miller, James
Berry and G. F. jennings, teamsters en-
ployed in the grading now in progress at
the Presidio. were placed under arrest yes
terday by Officers Hooper and Delmer OF
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. There are aoout 40 horses at
work, among which are some who are un-
serviceable. General Graham arrested two
men whom he detected treating horses
cruelty and locked them up over night in
the guardhouse; but seeing that the ex-
ample did not deter others from similar
offenses, the general reported the case to
tine society, detailing a sergeant to accom-
pany the officers and assist, if necessary,
in making the arrests. Six horses and two
mules were taken from work and sent to
be treated. The Presidio will henceforth be
visited at intervals by officers of the So
ciety.
The society is also contemplating some
action in relation to cruelties committed
at pigeon-shooting matches. Last Sunday
about 1000 birds were let loose near the
Fourteen milo House, on the San Bruno
road, to be shot at by members of local
club. An army of small boys went after
the wounded pigeons, beating them with
willow switches and otherwise torturin g
them. One enterprising child OF older
growth went about on a bicycle collecting
candidates for pigeon pie, leaving at
length with four or tlve dozen birds hang
ing from the bars of the machine.

Spreckels to "Move to

The Story of the Blackmailing Pro.
ceedings. Is Objectionable and the
Court Is Appealed to.

F. D. Brandon, counsel for Fl. r. Mar
shall in the latter's suit to recover dam
ages from John D. Spreckels for the al
legged assault upon him at the time of his
blackmailing proposition, yesterday gave
notice that on Friday next he will move
the court that all that portion of the de-
fendant's answer telling the story of the
attempt to blackmail be stricken out as
"immaterial and irrelevant" These are
some of the lines objected to, for instance:
That he (defendant) is informed and believes.
and on such information and belief AYERS that
prior to the I'd day OF April, 1896, the said
plaintiff, II. F. Marshall, and one Donald NJ
Ross and one D. b. Woodworth conspired to-
gether for the purpose of conceiying, devising
maturing and executing an Infamous and
criminal scheme to blackmail said defendant
and TO exact and extort from him money to
the extent of $60,0O0
AS defendant is further informed and be-
lieves and therefore alleges the said plaintiff.
Marshall, and said Ross and said Woodworth
in furtherance OF the purposes OF said con-
spiracy, corruptly agreed together that they
would represent to this defendant that they
would publish certain false. and libelous
statements concerning him ii he would not
yield to their shameless demands to paw them
said sum of 0,O00, and that they would ask
and conceal the infamy OF their acts under
proposit tion to sell to the defendant or from
him borrow money upon mortgage on alleged
part of the State of California. of which said
Woodwork claimed TO be the owner, and
which said mining property, as defendant is
informed and believes and therefore AYERS is
worthless and without value.
All this and all the allegations like it
relating to the incident upon which the
suit is based are objected to.

likely to be any fouling. The clause in
the agreement added by the National
Club that any man striking in break
away shall be deemed guilty of foul
will, it is contended, do much for the
cause of clean fighting.
The second mill will be between Harry
Peppers and Frank Purcell. This ought
also to turn out very interesting set-to.
as Peppers mode of fighting is well known
on this coast and Purcell is said to be a
hard man to handle.
The third contest will be between the
feather-weights, kid" OBrien of Los
Angeles and Ed Pincus of Sacramento.
Things have been so arranged in the
Grove-street Theater, the scene of the se-
ries of fistic battles, that all can have good
seats, and the ring is in a fair location.
The contest between Joe McAuliffe and
Choynski will take place next Friday
evening at Woodward's Pavilion. Gus
Herget and "Spider" Kelly will box on
this occasion.
Negotiations have been carried on for
some time with regard to Manager Gibbs
taking charge of the proposed contest be-
tween jimmy Carroll and Jack McAuliffe.
Sunday night Gibbs was requested to be
present at a meeting OF the st. George Club
with view to making such an arrange
ment.
He went, with the result that papers
were signed by which he will not only
have charge of this contest, but all battles
conducted under the st. George Clubs
auspices. McAuliffe and Carroll are
booked to meet each other about the mid.

Judge Morrow Rules That They
May Be Legally Inquired
Into.
A Point for the People-Testimony of
the Payment of SIS to De.
fendant.

Judge Morrow of the United States Dis
trict Court msde a ruling yesterday in the
case of the United States VS.. Richard S.
Williams, the ex-Chinese Inspector, which
was far from satisfactory to the counsel of
the defendant, and will, so the prosecu-
ton claims, aid materially in the estab-
lishment of his guilt. Thus far the Gov
eminent has relied principally upon the
testimony of Chinese witnesses, but now,
under the ruling of the court, the way is
open for white witnesses, whose testi-
mony is supposed to have more weight
with iurymen than that of the Asiatics.
With the exception of the ruling men,
toned and the testimony of Wong Kew
Kim the proceedings yesterday were un-
eyentful. but to-day livelier times are ex-
pected.
At the morning session Wong Kew Kim
testified that in the barber-shop, at 608
Washington street, he had seen Chin Ying
nav to Dick Williams $85 for the landing
of his (witness') brother and loaned him
(Chin Yingl $25 with which TO make up
the amount.
A rigid cross-examination by Lyman
Mowry of counsel for the defendant did
not shake the testimony OF the witness
and Wong Sam was recalled and gave
some cumulative testimony for the prose-
cution.
In the afternoon Barclay Henley, special
counsel for the Government, recalled Chin
Ying, by whom he expected to prove
connection between Chinese interpreter
and Dick Williams, but the objections OF
defendants counsel to his questions were
sustained by the court.

dian children are all matters to which the
Commissioner must give careful attention.
Contrary to the general impression the
Indians are not increasing, SAID the
Commissioner as he sat in the office of the
Occidental Hotel yesterday with Colonel
John Lane, head of the local Indian sup
ply warehouse.
United States and that is about the same
as the census has shown for the hst
twenty or thirty years. We have 24,OOO
Indian school children attending about 25O
achools, some of which are only small
affairs, while there are several boarding
schools attended by from 300 to 800 stu
DENTS
I'm the last few years the plan of educa-
tlon has been changed somewhat. We are
enlarging upon the industrial work, the
mechanical training. Instruction is given
In shoesnops, tinshops, harness-shoDs and
such work, and in farming, gardening and
fruit raising. Practical farmers and me-
chanics have been employed as instruct
ors. Fully half the time is devoted to the
industrial work.
"It is foolish to train Indians for strictly
commercial and mercantile professions
as most other children are trained. The
Indian question can be solved by teaching
the Indians TO support themselves, to set
tie on land s other people do, and to
maintain their families upon little home
farms.
81 want to see this system of free rations
discouraged. 1t puts premium on Idle
ness. Let the Indian be taught how to
make his own living; let the Government
establish him on piece of land and fur.
nish him with agricultural implements
But let tribes and chiefs be done away
with and let regular farm life take their
places.
"As TO the Indian warehouse in San
Francisco it seems to me that the territory
it supplies might easily be enlarged and
that other supplies now furnished by the
New York and Chicago depots might be
added to the list purchased at this place
The Secretary of the Interior has charge
of such matters. The people could send
letters to him before the annual letting of
supplies. next spring, and make such re-
ouestsn
