ents, Is Found by Accident.


Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. 2S.-An in
teresting story comes from Ludington.
In 1869 or 1870 a stranger came there
with little boy in frock clothes and
left him with a family who had log
ging camp near town. Soon after the
man disappeared, leaving the boy with
the family, who took care of him as one
of their own children. Recently Chi
cago lawyer visited Ludington in search
Of the boy, and through old settlers
found him In Tommy Hall of Reverton,
a few miles from town. He was identi-
fled through a birthmark on the arm.
1t seems that Tommy's father and
mother separated in Chicago twenty
eight years ago and the father took
Tommy. He died soon afterward and
the mother went to New York, where
she married again and was left rich
widow by her husbands death. She
died about five years ago, leaving an
estate of $2,00O,000. The other children
| of the first marriage were easily found
but what became of the little boy whom
| the father took was long a mystery
until a clew was found in an old let
ter Tommy, now a young man and
married, is farmer, with only so much
Of education as the family with whom

Wby Indians Did Not Sign.

Washington, Jan.2s.-Secretary Fran
els Wednesday sent to the senate
memorandum of the agreement be-
tween the Dawes Indian territory COM
mission and the Choctaw tribe OF In
dams in which the Indians agree to the
division of their land in severalty
among themselves. The agreement Is
incomplete owing to the fact that the
Chickasaws own jointly with the Choc-
taws and they have not agreed to the
division. The commission report, now
ever, that they have been in conference
with representatives Of the Chickasaws
and that the latter failed to sign only
because authority had not been dele
rated to them to go so far

THE IMMIGRATION BILL
House Adopts Conference Report
onnthe Measure.
DAYS PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.

Senate Rejects an Amendment to the Mill
tary Appropriation Bill Providing That
the West Point Cadets shall Attend the
Observation-Disclosures Treaty Under
Consideration by the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations Capital Notes.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-In accordance
with the notice given on Monday DAN
ford, Republican of Ohio, in the house
Wednesday called up the conference re-
port on the immigration bill. An agree
ment was reached by which the vote
should be taken on the adoption of the
report at AIS o'clock. Danford then
took the floor and made the opening
argument In support of the report. AS
It passed the house, he said, the bill
applied the educational test only to
males. This test was now extended to
females. 1t was this extension of the
educational test he said, which caused
the principal antagonism to the adop-
tion of the conference report on the
ground that it would separate families.
Husbands might be admissible and
wives excluded, or vice versa.
At AIS the conference report on the
! immigration bill was adopted.
Cadets Will Not Attend.
In the senate Wednesday Frye occu-
pied the chair in the absence OF the
vice president. The military academy
appropriation bill was taken up. Chand-
Ter endeavored to have the bill laid
aside in order to proceed with the meas
ure for an international monetary con-
ference but Pettigrew of South Dakota
objected, whereupon Chandler an
nounced that the monetary conference
bill would be urged later, and to con-
clusion, he hoped. A long discussion
followed on the proposed amendment tc
the West Point appropriation providing
that the cadets shall attend the inaugu'
ration ceremony. 1t was rejected.

MONROE DOCTRINE TO BE GUARDED.
Senators Determined That the Arbitration

senators Determined That the Arbitration
Treaty Shall Not Encroach Upon 1t.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-The senate
committee on foreign relations had the
arbitration treaty under consideration
for an hour and a half again Wednes-
day. but failed to reach a conclusion.
The committee adjourned to meet again
Saturday. when it is hoped that the sem
ate will not be in session, and the COM
mittee can give the entire day to the
treaty. There is a growing feeling IN
the senate that the treaty should be re-
ported either favorably or otherwise,
as a whole or with amendment, and
the committee is disposed to yield to
the pressure to the extent of giving all
the time possible to the subject.
The meeting was attended by all the
members Of the committee, and the dis
cussion was very earnest. The necess-
ity OF guarding the treaty so as to pre-
vent encroachment under any preteX'
whatever upon the Monroe doctrine was
again the principal topic. the especia
point of controversy being the feasible
ity of preventing such encroachmen'
by an amendment. The point was un'
| settled when the committee adjourned
but the belief was expressed that con
i clusion might be reached at the sat
| ,1rday session.

A Graceful Tribute.

The Savannah marksmen are covering
themselves with glory in the rife ranges
at Sea Girt. New Jersey. Yesterday these
men OF steady nerve and eye. captured
again the principal trophy of the shoot
the Soldier OF Marathon thanks
to them, will remain in Georgia for at
least another twelve months.
1t is believed that the Georgia men-the
scores are not yet completed-will also
capture the Regimental and Columbia
trophy matches. Capt. Cam of Savannah
is the present holdes of the Wimbledon
cup, and he is shooting in such rare form
that his prospects for recapturing this
prize for the best individual rifle marks
manship in the United States are excel
lent.
The present holder of the champion re-
volver shot trophy is also a Savannah
marksman, Private Richmond With the
gameness of a true sportsman he is pres
ent at Sea Girt to defend his title against
all corners.
The brilliant work of these Savannah
marksmen is cause for congratulation
from the whole state. At Sea Girt they
are meeting the best marksmen of the
country and are more than holding their
own.
Blu. the triumph of these Georgians is
not 10 stop on this side of the water 1t
is announced from Sea Girt that from the
crack shots now gathered there an all
American team is to be made up, to go
abroad and compete with the crack marks
men of the old world.
1t is certain from the scores already
registered that three-fourths of the men,
bers of this team will come from Savan-
nah, and the whole state should unite in
urging them to make the trip.
The question of company and individual
craftsmanship is an important one to the
national guard, and more practice should
be taken by the militia In other parts of
the state.
The superiority of Savannah's citizen
soldier is generally acknowledged, and few
underestimate the benefit to that commu-
nifty as well as the feeling of just pride
the whole state takes in them
The Georgia rihemen at Sea Girt, who
are sweeping everything before them, cap
turing all the prizes and breaking most
of the records, hail from Savannah, but
they belong to the state. The glory they
are gaining is Georgia's, and every citi-
zen of the commonwealth, from Nickajack
to Tybee light, is sharer in it. They nave
spread the name and fame of Georgia
far and wide, and they ought to be given
such a reception when they come home as
will let them know how proud we all are
of their performances.

UNCLE SANS CAVALRY.
Remarkable Success of United states
Soldiers in Training New Horses.

Remarkable Success of United states
Soldiers in Training New Horses.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The troop of United States cavalry with
Buffalo Bills wild west show is daily
giving a remarkable object lesson in the
training of horses. The men, who are all
genuine soldiers on furlough and not pro-
fessional equestrians from the circuses,
took in hand from the beginning of the
season a few weeks ago herd of vest
ern range bronchos that were about as
"green" as any mounts ever given to a
body of cavalry. The animals had been
busted" as the cowboys say, and that
was all--that is, they had been "roped'
and saddled in a corral, mounted and rid
den until tired into partial submission.
Some of them had never been ridden but
once, and then by "unthrowable" broncho
busters, who, with whips and spurs and
powerful curb bits. had thrashed, roweled
and "yanked" them into the degree of
nonresistance that is supposed to render
them fit for cowboy riding They are all
spirited and handsome animals, symmetri-
cal. high-headed, slender-limbed and pure
white in color, with long flowing names
and tails, and the cavalrymen. delighted
with them, set about their education. This
was a task of no little difficulty. Most
of them were wild as hawks and 1t was
necessary to teach them that their new
owners were their masters. They are I'M
commonly intelligent, S we'll as hand
some.
The whole of this training which took
place al Ambrose park, Brooklyn, during
a spell of bitterly cold and rainy weather,
occupied only two weeks, and then the
troop made their debut on the new horses
at Madison Square Garden. in New York.
That such a task could be achieved is an
attestation of the practicability and thor
oughness of the instruction now given to
the United States cavalry. Col. Sum-
ner's regiment, from which the troop now
with Col Cody comes, is stationed at
Fort Meyer, Virginia, near Washington,
and is famous not only for It's perfection
in drill but also for the skill of its SOL
diers in the exercises such as are to be
seen in the wild west exhibition. These
men with half-trained horses perform
feats of Workmanship never before seen
