RIOTERS IN CONTROL.

Gov. Brady, of Alaska, Will BE Given AddI-
tiOnal Aid to Suppress the Lawless.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Secretary
Bliss is in receipt of letter from Gov.
Brady, of Alaska, descriptive of the
lawless condition of aft airs at Skaguay
and Dyea. 1t was referred to at the
cabinet meeting and was considered
sufficient justification by the members
for the immediate dispatch of the ad-
ditional military force already author
lied to be sent to Alaskan territory.
Gov. Brady said:
News from Skaguay by the steamboat now in
port is serious. The United States deputy mar
shall has been shot dead in the discharge OF his
duty. Another man was killed at the same
time and at the same place. Recently the
steamers have been carrying great lists Of pas
sengers. Many OF these are gamblers, thugs
and lewd women from the worst quarters of the
cities on the coast They have taken in the
situation at Skaguay and Dyea and appear to
have combined to carry things with o high

NO PROVISION FOR 1T.

Congress Did Not Appropriate Money fox
Educating whites and Negroes In Indian
Territory.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Acting Secre.
tary of the Interior Ryan sent com
munication to congress yesterday in
regard to the education of children Of
white and colored residents of the In
dian territory. He says that the con-
ditions existing in the territory in this
respect are extraordinary. All the
lands in the territory belong to the
Indians of the five civilized tribes and
the United States cannot make any
provision for educational purposes in
the territory except by direct appro-
priaton from the public treasury. No
appropriations for the purpose have
ever been made, consequently no pro.
vision for the education of white and
colored youths exists The white and
negro residents are there by suffer
ance only, having no voice in the gov
eminent under which they live, or
ownership of the soil on which they
reside.

to go out into the yard. She heard
the chill screaming, and returned to

QUEER CASE OF RABIES.

New York Girl Dies of Hydrophobla with
out Having Been Bitten.
New YORK, Feb. 1S.-It appears from
the history of Ellen Callson, 10-year-
old Swedish girl, who died in the
Roosevelt hospital, that person may
become infected with hydrophobia
without being bitten by dog. An
autopsy upon the girls body revealed
the fact that her death was caused by
hydrophobia, although so far as can
be learned no dog had ever bit
ten her. Where she was employed
there were three large Newfoundland
dogs of which she was very fond. A
veterinary who examined them found
no trace of rabies in any of them, and
yet to them is traced the fatal malady
of the girl. The presumption is that
the germs were communicated to her
by the dogs licking her hands, which
were badly chapped

GUTHRIE, Ok, Feb. 19.-The supreme
court of Oklahoma has decided the
case of the grand lodge of the A. 0. U.
w. VS.. Mary Edmondson. The opinion
of the lower court was sustained.
This case was appealed from Payne
county by the grand lodge and in

of the lodge to reject the claim

made just before death had not
been paid. Mr.. Edmondson joined the
Saltwater lodge, his initiation fee and
one months dues in advance being
paid. The next assessment fell due on
the 2Sth of the month. Edmondson
died a few days later without having
paid the dues and the lodge rejected
the claim for insurance. The court
