HULIT'S EXPEDITION.
Preparations to Receive 1t Made
at Ell PasO, Texas.

No word has been received in Tope-
ka from A. B. Hulit since he left the
Indian Territory with the 19 delegates
who have been appointed to inspect
the lands in Mexico offered to them by
Mr. Hulit- The preparations to receive
the party at FL Paso and the details of
the scheme are outlined in the following
dispatch:
FL Paso, Tex. Dec. 2S.-Senor Cruz
Gonzales. son of the ex-governor of the
state Of Chihuahua, is in FL Paso to
meet delegation representing the five
tribes Of civilized Indians in the Indian
Territory, who are negotiating for the
purchase of nearly 100000 acres of
land in the state of Chihuahua Mex
The negotiations grow out of the dis
satisfaction of the Indians with the ef-
forts II the United states to charge
the government system Of Indian Ter
ritory. OF the 1900, 900 acres OH which
tho Indians have secured an option l.
2OO,00C acres are owned by Capt. Chas.
Davis. collector Of customs at this port.
and he is interested with St. Louis and
Mexico parties in the ownership of the
balance of the land.
The land is the most fertile in Mexico.
1t Is well timbered and has a frontage
of 1873 miles on the Rio Grande and its
northern boundary line is only so miles
from Ell PasO. This vast tract of land
IS known as the hunters paradise, as
us WOODS ana NalleyS are full of deer.
pear and wild turkeys. Two Of the
Cherokee representatives are here. and
Mr.. Gonzales said tonight that they
had agreed as to the price to be paid
for the land. provided the Indians find
it is as represented, and there is no
doubt on that score. After looking over
their proposed purchase the Cherokee
representatives will have to visit Mex
leo City to secure a permit to own land
within the prohibited zone. Under the
laws of Mexico no foreigner can own
land within 20 leagues of the boundary
line except by special permission

TO BLACKLIST PLAYERS.
Obscene Language on the Diamond
Must be Stopped.

Cincinnati. Dec 29.-The proposed
rule offered by President Brush. Of the
Cincinnati baseball club, that players
who use obscene language on the field
shall be blackIisted, is creating wide
spread discussion among league Off
cials and the baseball patrons all over
the country President Hart of the
Chicago club has come out as d strong
advocate of the measure. and Frank
Dc Haas Robinson, president of the
Cleveland club, follows suit, his ideas
being as follows:
Persons who are fighting the pro-
posed blacklist are not familiar with
the facts leading up to its Introduction.
The rule is not intended to take the
bread out of the mouth of q player
who. in a moment of passion, lets slip
swear word on the field. We want to
stop profanity. and we mean to. There
is no place in the league for a player
who under any circumstances would
hurl a viciOusly vulgar remark toward
d grand stand full of women and men.
I have never heard such a remark on
the Cleveland grounds, but at our
meeting al Philadelphia Mr.. Soden. of
the Boston club, repeated language that
had been uttered on his diamond bs-
visiting teams that showed a depth #
depravity and viciOusness I do not sup
pose existed. 1t was to stop the repe-
tition Of such OutraSes against decency
that the Brush resolution was offered.
and unless there is 4 surprising change
in sentiment the resolution will be
adopted at St. Louis"

OPENING OF THE SESSION.
800 Teachers Here Last Night and
1850 Today.

The opening meeting of the state
teachers association last night found
Representative hall. the galleries and
corridors adjoining crowded while long
lines of people extended through the
afsles and around the walls of the hall.
Many were compelled to stand during
the evening while many others were
unable to gain admission
The enrolment of teachers last night
was nearly 500 the largest recorded on
the first day in the history of the as
sociation. Treasurer J. N Wilkinson
announced that the indications point to
a larger enrolment, above 1900, which
will if attained, exceed the past rec
ord.
The teachers were welcomed to To-
peka by A. W. Dana, a former teacher
but now a lawyer in this city.

A WORD FOR PRES. ANDREWS
President Peairs Refers Strongly to
the Brown University Affair

The annual address by President ].
Peairs of Law renee was upon the sub
ject "A Critical Period in the History
of Our Schools
He said: Indifferent submission to
this unwritten edict has been both
wrong and cowardIy, but one of the
hopeful signs is the rebellion against
such arbitrary prejudices. It matters
not whether a teacher contracts to
teach a district school or to direct a
great university, he does not bargain
away his civil or moral right to do any
thing that becomes a man. Whether
we coincide with his views or not, we
know that President Andrews has as
much right to speak his sentiments on
a public question as any other Ameri-
can citizen; and we are convinced that
when he was asked to withdraw his
resignation a great moral victory was
won for individual freedom.
The day has passed when the pres
ident of an educational institution may
be either directly or indirectly removed
because of his political views, without
the removal receiving the censure and
the condemnation it deserves, whether
it be in Rhode Island or in Kansas"
