A LOST CITIZENSHIP.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. ia decision
has been handed down by the United
States court of Appeals to the effect
that a white person adopted into one
of the civilized tribes of Indians can
not be restored to American citizenship
by the United States courts A d.
vorce suit brought about the question.
In 1898 Jesse Raymond, Cherokee, in
the Indian Territory, married white
woman according to the rights and
ceremonies. The wife claimed she
had been naturalized in 1894 and sued
for a divorce in the United States
courts. A decree was granted, but
the husband fought it, claiming the
courts had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter. 1t was carried to the Court of
Appeals where the decree was revers-
ed and the case remanded to the lower
courts with instructions to dismiss it.
The ground assigned for the decision
was that the United States court can
not naturalized persons adopted by civ
iliZed tribes of Indians and therefore
the tribe itself had exclusive jurisdic-
ton in the dispute.

CONSUL GENERAL TO MONTEREY

as consul general at Monterey, Mex:

John K. Pollard, Esq, Steward of the
Ohio Institution for the Education
of the Deaf and Dumb, Columbus, o:
Sir-The president having designat-
ed you for appointment as consul gem
eral of the United States at Monterey,
Mex, you are notified to appear at the
consular bureau of this department on
Tuesday morning, November %, at 10
o'clock for the examination provided
for by the executive order of Septem-
Der 20, 1895.
Copy of consular regulations and
pamphlet showing the scope of the ex-
aminations are sent you by this mail
for your information.
The volume of consular regulations
must be returned. Respectfully yours,
THOMAS w. CRIDLER,
Third Assistant Secretary.
1t is well to understand that an eff
fort has been made to suppress the ac-
tual facts in regard to this appoint
ment. Dr. Clifford's name was used
as the certain appointment, but it
turns out that the gentleman who was
in Texas at the time when Maj. Nc
Kinley was a question, and when Doc.
Clifford and his friends were his OPP
ponents, has been appointed. The San
Express, our Democratic Or
gan, will have to revise it's list of Fed
eral appointments, so as to include the
friends of President Mckinley. When
Doc. Clifford was here last, he gave it
out through the Express that all that
was lacking was the formality Of is
suing his commission. In greeting his
small coterie of personal friends he
would remark: You are shaking
hands with the next consul general to
Monterey, Mexico" Since he has fail
ed to materialize as consul general,
BUR local Democratic newspaper, the
Express, has caused hope to spring in
the breasts of the faithful few, of the
Allison crowd by giving it out that
Doc. would get an equallyAgood place.

THE DREYFUs DEAL.

Paris is All Agog Over the Revela-
tions.
New York, Nov. 1S.-A dispatch to
the World from Paris, says:
Paris is in a condition of high ex-
element over the Dreyfus mystery and
even if the authorities had any notion
of smoothing up the scandal it would
now be impossible.
Public opinion demands instant ac-
ton of some kind and 1t is expected
that the ministry will be compelled to
bow to its Impotence.
Major Esterhasey's story of how he
received an intimation that plot was
afoot to implicate him, has excited
suspicion against him instead of allay-
ing 1t.
His statement that he can give no
clue whatever to the identity of the
yelled lady who volunteered an assig-
nation with him and handed him let
ter clinching Dreyfus' guilt, is regard
ed as very dubious. Why this alleged
lady should interest herself in his be-
half and why he, knowing the supreme
importance of ascertaining her iden-
fifty, should have failed to make any
effort to ascertain it, are questions that
are being asked with most skeptical
head shaking. The Esterhasey tale
may be true, but If so it is one of those
cases in which truth is stranger than
fiction.
Dissatisfaction is beginning to be ex-
pressed also with Gen. Billot's state
ment.
