Bicycle Firm Assigns.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-An assignment was
made Friday by the Fowler Cycle COM
pany, one of the largest bicycle con-
Germs in the west. The officers of the
company are reticent regarding the
amount of assets and liabilities, but the
best information obtainable gives the
liabilities at 100000; assets much less.
1t has been rumored for some time that
the company was in financial difficult
ties. The action taken Friday was pre-
cipitated by the employees. commit
tee of the men called on the treasurer
and asked if they would be paid to-day
wages due them up 20 a week ago to-
day, which were due last Wednesday, or
whether they would be paid to date.
The difficulty of raising another weeks
pay roll decided the officers of the COM
rany to assign. The firm employed 500
men.

Treaty Rejected.

Muskogee, L. T., Oct. 2o.-The treaty
between the Dawes and Creek commits
sions, which was concluded at this place
last month, was rejected by the Creek
council in session at Okmulgee, I. T,
Monday night. The vote in the house
of warriors, which is the lower house
of the Creek council. was unanimously
against the treaty. and only eight mem
bers OF the house of kings voted in favor
of it. The principal charge against the
treaty is that it does not give the Creeks
their share of all the lands of the Creek
nation and leaves too much room for
money sharks and spectators. A warm
legal war is expected to be waged be-
tween the United States and the Creek
nation, as the act of congress which
takes effect January 1, 1898, abolishes

made his annual report to the secre-
tary of war. A synopsis follows:
He commends the efficacy of the army
and speaks of the progress that has been

coasts in the matter Of Notifications. He
asks that congress authorize two more regi-
ments Of artillery to garrison the new forth
ications, and also five additional regiments
of infantry. He devotes considerable at
tention to Alaska, and says the waters Of
Alaska should be thoroughly examined by
the naval forces, and that there should be
at least three military posts estab lished in
the territory to support the civil author
tiles. He refers to the improved condition
Of the Indians, and recommends that the
policy Of employing army officers as In
dian agents be continued. He makes rec
ommenda tons In detail for the protection
Of coast points, and says that the maximum
peace footing of the army should be one
enlisted man to every 1000 Of population,
and the minimum one to every 2.OOQ.

sity, was invested with the title and

ALASKA.
Gov. Brady Makes His Annual Report
The Gold Craze.


Washington, Oct. 23.-The report of
John G. Brady, governor of Alaska, for
the past fiscal year has been submitted
to the secretary of the interior. Asum-
mary follows:
It estimates the present population at
$1,000 natives and 10000 whites; predicts
that with reindeer transportation mails
can be sent all over Alaska during the win
ter. and recommends that 1900 be ap-
propriated for government buildings and
So, 900 for schools. It says nothing has so
retarded Alaska's substantial growth as
the helplessness Of settlers to obtain titles
to their homes on account of the failure of
congress to extend the general land laws,
and urges congress to create q commission
Of five, one senator one representative and
three bona fide Alaska residents to codify
laws for Alaska. The secretary of the
treasury is urged to conine the hunting Of
sea otter to the natives, for, 'if the white
man is not shut of at once the Aleuts will
have to be cared for by the government"
Reviewing gold operations, Gov. Brady
says: Ship load after load of gold seekers
and their freight has been rushed to the ex-
treme limit of salt water navigation lynn
Canal), and there they have been literally
dumped upon the beach, some above high
water, and many below, as they learned to
their sorrow when the water covered them
as they slept. The gold seekers have had
terrible time. but they are brave, and
started out to endure hardship. AS a class
they rank far above the average manhood
of the country. Skaguay is being built up
rapidly. Lumber is in demand, and lots
are selling as high as 81 SOC. Americans are
anxious to secure a route to the Yukon

INDECENT Children.

For the ensuing 10 months the st.
Paul city and county hospital will az
ford shelter and treatment to the in
digent, crippled and deformed chill
dren who may be placed in that insti-
tuition by the board of regents of the
state university.
Heretofore the state has made no
special provision for the care of Grip
pied and deformed children, as il has
in the cases Of the insane, i'm beetles,
pauper children. etc. Accordingly, the
last legislature made an appropriation
of SO, 600 to be entrusted to the board
of regents of the state university, to
be expended by them in caring for
such crippled and deformed children,
as well as children suffering from dis
eases likely to result IN permanent de-
formity. Tho law imposes but one
condition upon the regents, which linn
its the amount to be expended in any
one year to IS, 900.
