the Provincial Seminary of st. Francis de
was ordained a deacon by Archbishop Ten
ney. In 1865 he was ordained priest by the
late Bishop John L. Miege, in the old
Catholic. church in this city.
Upon his ordination Bishop Miege sent
him TO Fort Scott. then a government post,
| giving him charge of Southeastern Kansas
and Southwestern Missouri. where for three
years he labored as a missionary. AT that
time he was the only priest south of Law
renee, with the exception of those stationed
at Usage Mission. AT the end of three
years he was ordered to Lawrence. where
he remained five years. during which time
he raised funds and built the Lawrence
church. Tn diocese was at that time in q
weak financial condition and Father Cum
bingham was sent out collecting funds. He
his church: and met with good success. His
next station was Topeka. and it was
through his efforts that funds We're raised
with which to build the church of the As
sumption. of which he was pastor for six
years. In January, 1881. he was appointed
1872; was ordered to Leavenworth. where
he has since remained.
About ten years ago Father Cunningham
was rendered the hishopric of Wichita. but
declined the elevation, choosing to remain
at Leavenworth. where he has been very
successful in his work. He is liberal in his
views and Is cordial in his relations with
those of other denominations. Should he
be the selected of Rome for the vacant
see. the church in this diocese will endeavor
to secure his transfer to be bishop of Leay-
enworth.

Not His Own, but That of Policeman
Foran, Which He Had Sworn
to Take.

The police board of Kansas City, Kas.,
met last night and held a secret caucus of
about two hours duration. At the close of
the session Secretary Horton stated that
the board had transacted no business of
public interest. The trial of officer Foran,
it was claimed. was postponed.
i is understood from reliable sources that
Officer Foran's star and club will be reiurn-
ed to him and that he will be assigned to
a beat again. Should he go back to work
1t will not be on account of any love tie
police board or Chairman Easterwood have
for him. 1t is known that the Pop chair
man is after Foran's scalp. Governor
Leedy is placed in a very embarrass-
Ing position. He has designated Chairman
E~asterwood as his official harmonizer fer
this section of the state. and yet he can
not we'll make the changes being asked by
him. Easterwood cannot harmonic unless
the governor furnishes the means. 1t is
that EaSterwood will soon give

Alternative Allotment Provision
Likely to Be Incorporated in the
Measure-Many Letters From
Fullbloods FnvOring
the Bill.

Washington. Jan. s.-(Special.) The joint
subcommittee having the Curtis bill under
consideration met to-day. but transacted
very little business. The members dis
cussed the amendments to the bill and
agreed to meet Tuesday, at which time the
bill is likely to come up for final action.
There is a disposition to get rid of the
measure as soon as possible. on account Of
the large number of parties here who are
trying to obstruct legislation. A determine
ed effort is being made by quite a number
to have nothing done that will affect the
large leases in that country and give titles
to parties in towns regardless Of the con.
sent of the Indians.
1t is well known that a majority of the
committee are of the opinion that title can-
not be taken from the Indians without their
consent. While congress may legislate as
to occupancy and everything relating to
property, members hold that it cannot give
title without violating treaty obligations.
The most active men here in behalf of
parties holding lands under leases and
townsite people are Sam Powell, of Wag-
goner, and DR.. III. e. Linn, of Washington.
formerly of Topeka. There are still 9TH
ers. and more seem to be coming every
day, but the members of the committee
absolutely decline to give any Information
as to the amendments. All Indications,
however, are that the Curtis bill will be
passed. with but few amendments. and the
alternative provision permitting the Indi-
ans TO take allotments and dispose of town.
sites as per their agreements will be added
to the bill. The Indians will be given rea-
sonable time to determine by Il vote of the
tribe which they will accept: if the terms
of their agreements as to and
are not approved. then the Curtis
bill becomes operative.
Numerous letters from fulibloods have
reached tie committee, urging the passage
Of the Curtis bill. on the ground that it is
for the benefit of the Indians as Il mass,
and asserting that opposition to allotments
and the extension of the jurisdiction of
the federal courts is made. not by the
tribes as Il whole. but by rich Indians.

Although double holiday is pending,
the stock market today ended strong and
with prices buoyant. At today's close
the market averages only one point under
the highest OF the year, which was early
in February, over three points higher
than at the beginning OF the year, and
but three points below tbe top of the
boom last autumn. In other wo.ds, the
decline of about twelve points on an av.
erage, as a result OF the war scare, has
been practically recovered and the mar
ket again is on the upward swing, with
oil the excitement and vigor OF genuine
bull campaign, despite the fact that the
war is no nearer settlement than n

also, that the average shows the mark ct
to be 20 points higher than at the culmi-
