REPORTED INDIAN OUTBREAK.
No News Received by the Commits

sioner of Indian Affairs.
Officials of the Interior Department stat
ed today that no information has been
received as to any probable trouble with
Indians on the Chippewa reservation in
Minnesota
W. a. Jones. Commissioner Of Indian At
fairs, was shown dispatch from Walker.
Mimi, which stated that a messenger just
returned from Bear Island reported that
the Indians there had held a pow-wow
followed by a war dance
Commissioner Jones said: I'VE know
absolutely nothing about the alleged trou-
BILE, nor have We received any informa-
ton from Agent Switzerland. who is in
charge of that reservation.
There was some dissatisfaction ex-
pressed by the Chippewas some time ago
at their failure to secure reimbursement
from the Government for improvements
they had made When IL was proposed TO
remove them to another reservat zion
bill was introduced at the last session of
Congress by Representative Morris of
Minnesota to pay the Indians for their
improvements. but the bill was objected to
and failed of passage. Consequently the
Government could not reimburse the In

1t is reported that the Sultan. in or

for the landing of the German Emperor
and Empress when they visit the Holy
Land, has torn down the Crusader cas-
tie, about twenty miles away for the
purpose Of using the hewn stone of
which IL is built Some people seem to
think that this liz a horrible outrage and
u piece of inexcusable vandalism on the
part Of the Sultan. 1t is pointed out
that the castle was built by the knights

How Fish Breathe.
u-tY>

Fish do not breath air, but the life-supporting
constituent of air--oxygeh gas-which is soluble
in water to the extent Df volumes in 100 at
ordinary temperatures and in 100 at freezing
point. -s-i d
The water containing the dissolved oxygen is
made to pass the gills, where it is separated
from the blood only by.a very thin membrane.
through which the gas is able TO pass
Fish in bound rivers have to depend entirely
upon this store OF oxygen for their respiration.
and if it becomes exhausted they are suffocated,
Just as we should be il deprived Of oxygen
1t rarely happens. however. that any consid-
cradle area of water Is entirely covered with ice,
especially in the of rivers. Holes and cracks
are almost sure to occur here and there, by which
the oxygen Of the air can reach the water and be-
come dissolved in it. During long frost fish

General Coppinger certainly deserves
something at the hands of the Admins
tration. In his report he is apologize
for the War Department wherever he is
compelled by the facts to show de-
fecrs. As his duty required simply the
statement of facts. he has been more
than amiable in assuming the perfect
innocence of everybody. From a perusal
of his report 1t appears that he formed
his opinion as TO the stupidity and help
lessness of the volunteers entirelyS from
what he could observe from his tent
door Naturally. the whitewash journals
use this statement to prove that at San
tiago the volunteers were to blame for
their own starvation, and that their fail
ure to cook their food properly produced
typhoid fever in some inexplicabIe way.
1t happens 10 be beyond doubt, howev-
er, that no amount of stupidity on the
part of the volunteers could have been
responsible for their starvation.

Fascinating Abdul Hamid.

WTUH the Ihlcago News.)
Abdul Hamid seems 10 be fascinating kind
of Turk. Nearly every foreign minister or ambas-
sador at the porte speaks kindly, Of him per-
sonally, and now ex-President Angel of Ann Ar
Dor, who recently returned from his mission a
Constantinople. says he acquired great af.
fection for him. Perhaps the Sultan's capacity
for inspiring friendship will help 10 explain why
it is so hard to bring Abdul TO terms One
cannot be rude to such a loyable gentleman.
and at Constantinople the horrors of Armenia
and Crete doubtless far away Even to
suggest such an unpleasant topic would be a
breach OF politeness. It is evident the American
claims cannot be collected by sending ministers
to the friendly Sultan. Even in case of sending
Sampson Schley at the head of fleet to
the Golden Horn peremptory instructions should
be given that the commander shall not go on
shore have a personal interview with the
fascinating Abdul. Otherwise he would probably
apologize for his intrusion and gracefully with
draw.

impressive object lesson On the folly of
sending the finest Of the nations young
men into camp by the thousand, under
the command of inexperienced officials
with political pull.
The War Department is now busy
in explaining that the loss of the volun-
teer army from disease, from the be-
ginning of the war to the first of Sep
tember, was "a little less than one per
cent" This sounds very nice. 1t is
calculated to deceive people who are
not accustomed to handling statistics.
But the New York Journal publishes
some pointed statements on the rela-
tive rate Of death in New York city and
in the volunteer army, which are war
ranted to prick this statistical bubble.
1t is explained that "a little less than
one per cent" or to be exact, 0.S49 of
/ per cent, is $40 per thousand. This
was the loss of the volunteer army
from disease in little less than four
months. Multiply this by three and you
have what would be the annual death
rate of the army in camp, or 25.47. The
highest death rate among white people
in any section of the United States at
the last census was 23.12 per thousand.
In some places the rate was only a
trifle over fifteen. In New York city
the death rate of the whole population
is 21.52 per thousand, and this, be it re-
membered, includes the swarming pop
ulation of the tenements, the children,
of whom it has been roughly estimated
that one-half die before the age of five,
the aged, the diseased, the starved, the
pauper population of the metropolis
Thus 1t is to be seen that the War De-
partment has taken the strongest and
finest young men of the country, men
in many cases used to out-of-door ac-
tive life, and by placing them for four
months in camp, selected for that es-
pecial purpose by men supposed to
know what they were about, 1t has sue
ceeded in killing them off at a rate ex-
ceeding any death rate in the United
States, even in districts where a large
percentage of the people are invalids,
old folk, and little children, 1t is not
much for War Department to be
proud of. but it is the record, and it
is this record at which Secretary Alger
expresses himself as gratified." The
record does not include the men who
are now sickening of typhoid. pneu-
monia, and malaria at their homes, ow-
ing to the insidious influence of I'M
healthful camp life. Perhaps the next
excuse which the War Department will
have to offer will be that ancient saying
of our grandfathers, that it is un-
healthy to sleep in the night air. Pos
sibly that is what is the matter with
the volunteers. They should have kept
awake.

DENOUNCED AS BLACKMAIL.
Attack on the Souvenir Publications
of Labor Organizations.


New York. Oct. 3.-Methods of adver-
tising canvassers for souvenir publica-
tions by labor organizations were de-
nounced at the meeting of the Central
Labor Union yesterday as merely le-
galized form of blackmail, and it is likely
that at the meeting next Sunday the
Union will vote to discontinue the issu-
ance of such publications itself and for
bid their issuance by affiliated organiza-
tionS.
When the subject came up G. H War
ner said that the publishers of these
books simply levied a legalized form of
blackmail upon employers and business
men He knew of cases. he said. where
canvassers informed manufacturers that
their workmen would not strike If they
paid for an advertisement in labor or
ganization souvenir book, and of others
where boycotted houses were told that
the boycott would be raised. On account
of lack OF, time decision in the matter
was postponed until next Sunday

Native wine is so cheap in San Francisco that
many restaurant keepers serve it with meals in
lieu of tea coffee if their patrons prefer it. The
clause in the war tax requiring a stamp to be
affixed to each bottle Of wine disturbed them se-
riously for a while. until plan was hit upon OF

Marching to Drive Out Colored
WOrkmen.

Washington, Ind. Oct. 3.-Masked min
ers are believed to have gone to the
mines to the southeast of the city, where
more of the negroes are living. with the
intention of driving them out. 1t is said
they are bent on killing c. c. Rowland,
the white boss. Shots were heard in that
direction early this morning, and there
may be battle.
The negroes are armed at the mines
and are well protected.

An American Lecturer Pleased Scotland Neck
People by Showing a Picture Of William

Scotland Neck. y. c., Jan. 2J.-(Sno-
cial.)-A few days ago several "trustirsv
escaped from one of the State farms ON
the Roanoke river, and have been ot
large ever since. Last night one named
Long was brought to Scotland Neck for
medical treatment. He was found in
Edgec0mbe ABOUT dark, and as he ran
from a house the guard, who was look
ing for him, shot him in the back and
shoulder and head. There were thirteen
buckshOt in his back and shoulder. anJ
four in mis- head. He was brought here
and treated by Il physician and placed in
the town prison for safe keeping until
this morning, and further search was
made for the other escaped convicts
He would have been set free in about
seven or eight months. He will be
taken to Tillery ON the cars this morn
ing and carried to the farm again for
treatment in the hospital.

Among the pictures of persons in this
country were WaShington's, Cleveland's

and faith. He would not say that the
Senator from Colorado had 'squiImed
out of the question, nor would he order
him ito sit down" aus he had ordered
the Senator from Indiana.
Mr.. Teller: Il will strike that out of
my speech"
IF | were the Senator" said Mr..
IIoar, Il would have the entire speech
stricken from the record"
Mr.. Hale (Rep., Mainel, declared that
the debate during the day had settled the
fact that it was the desire of the ady0-
gates Of the resolution to bring the
country to- a silver basis and TO make
the payment of all debts public and
private in silver which was now worth
less than half what gold is worth.
Mr.. Hale then moved that the Senate
adjourn.
Mr.. Vest (Mol, insisted that the
Maine Senator should withhold his mo-
ton, as his remarks had placed the
advocates Of ibe resolution in Il false
light

Shut bi-metal ;ts.'
Mr. Allison asked Mr. Vest whether
he thought the BlandAlliso act in sub
stantial compliance with the concurrent
resolution of twenty years ago
This is no financial kindergarten,
said Mr.. Vest. "The Senato from Iowa
ought to know what the Bland--Allison
act meant, because he. framed it him
self.'
II want it understood" declared Mr..
Allison, that the resolution of 1878 DID
not mean The cree coinage Of silver as
the Senators from Colorado Mr. Teller
and from Miss 1uri Mr.. Ncstl have both
said that this resolution means. | want
an answer to my question and if it re-
quires financial kindergarten to OH

the Senator from Missouri open such I
school now"
Mr.. Vest did not deem it necessary. he
said, to extend the colloquy further at SO
late an hour. but he asked that an amend
ment to the resolution offered by Mr..
Lodge earlier in the day be read for in
formation.
The amendment provides shat all of
the resolution except the resolving clause
