Some Court Rulings.

Judge W. H. H Clayton, dur.
ing the late sitting of the court at
this place held that the improve
mcnts on Choctaw lands, claimed
by non-citizens, could not pass TO
his heirs, but reverted to the ma.
tion.
]. L. Hull was realizing on a
purchase made from Wade Nor
ris, who was a niece OF George
Morris, white man and non-
citizen, although at one time he
had Choctaw wife, but was not
married according to the Choctaw
law. Wade Morris is a Choctaw,
but the court holds that she can
not inheri Cboctaw lands and i'm.
provements from white relative
as he was not such an owner or did
not possess such title as could
pass TO his relatives. He further
holds that non-citizens cannot in
herit such property from a citizen
relative, but in both cases the
lands and improvements revert to
the Choctaw nation.
In this same case he held that
the Choctaw council acts repeating
laws which had heretofore granted
citizenship to certain parties, was
null and void and Of no effect

OfliclOus Interference !.

So many conflicting stories are
being sent to the daily press in all
parts Of the country, presuming to
report phases connected with the
Greek warrant case now being tried
in the U. S. court being held at
Wagner, that the offense has be.
come reprehensible. Most Of these
kilograms bear their date from
Muskogee.
When these cases are disposed
of, all the facts will have been de-
veloped that the government has
the information to disclose, and it
is clearly indicated that the prose
cution has its case well in hand.
After the result is declared, it
will then be a proper time for
newspaper criticism. Any rehec-
tions or coloring of case, by
newspaper reports, previous to its
termination in the courts, is not
only likely to do damage to inno-
cent persons, but may bias de-
cisioa of jury, and also should
this be done, the guilty may be
allowed to escape, as well as con-
tempt of court unintentionally
committed. Sayings.

Condemnation of n Fish StOrv

While several Klondikers were buy
ing dried salmon for food for their dog
teams, several persons who are not 60
ing to Klondike stopped to discuss the
value of dried salmon as food for dogs,
and one of them brought up a story
about three Jersey. cows at mission
in Alaska, being fed all winter on
dried salmon and giving plenty Of
milk, which furnished an abundance
of cream. Several of the crowd ex-
pressed doubts as to the truthfulness
of the story, when one of the Klon-
dikers said he knew it to be true. He
had lived in Alaska for several years,
and was there the winter when the hay
and milfeed at the mission spoken Of
gave out, and had seen the cows eat
ing the dried fish and had drunk cream
from their milk in his coffee.
OF course, no one could dispute such
testimony as this, especially as the
man, on being pressed, admitted that
the coffee had slightly fishy taste. He
further stated that when the winter
was over and the storms were passed,
and the gentle sunshine came at last,
and the grass grew and the flowers
blew" and the Jersey cows went out
and gamboled on the green they never
failed to come up on Friday to eat fish,
and nothing could persuade them to
eat ANYTHING but fish on that day The

Why Horseflesh Ii Good Food,

Everybody is aware that the horse Is the
cleanliest of all domestic animals. 1t will
not eat anything but good, healthy food
nor drink any but pure water. A horse
would rather starve than swill the rotten
stuff often given to pigs and cattle. 1t is
nothing but prejudice that prevents US
from eating horse6esh. A similar preju-
dico retarded the introduction of the pc.
tato 100 years ago. Today we could not
get along without It, Yet the prejudice
against potatoes can DO explained. The
people had been told that this American
root caused fever and rendered the ground
unfit for all other crops. The exception
against horsefesh Is not even founded
upon any objection to Its properties. 1t Is
solely due to the influence of the church.
The clergy did everything possible to
prevent the newly converted Saxons from
returning to their heathenish practices
and prohibited the use Of horseflesh to
stop the sacrifices to Odin and Thor. A
long time passed before these sacrifices
were altogether discontinued. Tho ma
lions Of Europe have suffered enormous
loss by this prohibition of horsehesh.
Especially from tho humanitarian point
of view the reults aro most deplorable.
Millions Of people arc forced to live on pc.
tatoes and similar food wanting In nutri-
tive qualities, while millions of pounds of
the very best meat arc wasted. Horse.
flesh is the most nourishing of oil meats,
and its taste is hardly to be distinguished
from that of beef Tho flesh of horse
fed on oats has smell similar to goose
flesh. The fat is preferable to lard. Above
all, 1t should be remembered that no flesh
is SO healthy as that Of tho horse. Trich-
inosis and similar diseases are unknown
in horses,-GoldeD Penny.

Senate Finance Committee still Df

Senate Finance Committee still DIS
cussing the War Revenue Bill.
Washington, May 10.-When the SEN
ate finance committee adjourned last
night the consideration of the Republl-
bill had been almost entirely complete
ed, although there were some puz-
cling problems still unsolved, one of
which was the manner of dealing with
proprietary medicinal articles. There
probably will be a uniform tax on all
of these.
The committee has decided to place
license upon banks at the rate Of
$500 year and upon brokers at the
rate of $50, but has not yet determined
whether the professions shall be licens-
ed or not. On life insurance compa-
MES the rate has been increased five
fold, being made 10 cents on every 500,
and it is estimated this increase will
add about s1,0OO,0OO in revenue. The
provision for an inheritance tax and
for a tax on bills of lading were both
adopted, as were the provisions for
taxing all dealings in futures, includ-
Ing bucket shop operations.
The Democratic amendments will be
taken up this afternoon, and there is
very little doubt that they will all be
adopted. as Senator Jones, of Nevada,
has indicated his purpose of standing
with the Democrats on all the principal
changes they suggest. 1t is possible
that the consideration of the bill may
be completed today, but it is not prob

considered that most naval battles are
fought at a distance of two or three
miles, and that the torpedo boats
would have to steam this distance be-
fore becoming effective, the uses Of
the destroyer will be readily seen. The
deck of torpedo boat is only an
eighth of an inch thick, Of aluminized
steel, and 1t is estimated that a one.
pound shot would go clear through q
torpedo boat, and yet she would &c
so fast through the water that no wa
ter could come in; but any shot taking
effect near the machinery would in
stantly sink the boat"
In recent article In a marine Jour-
nal Assistant Naval Constructor H. s.
Gilmore, U. S. N, has this to say on
the subject:
1.-THE torpedo as an offensive weapon
made its first appearance during the
war of the rebellion, and by its
achievements established itself as a
factor in naval warfare. The torpedo
Of that time was carried at the end of
a spar twenty to twenty-five feet long.
For success it was necessary to come
alongside the enemy before discovery
and disablement. The rapid-fire gun
of small calibre and the searchlight
were not then in existence, so the task
of the torpedo in the hands of fear
less man on dark or foggy night was
less impossible than it might be
thought.
1.-THE object for which torpedo boats
are constructed is the destruction of
vessels of the enemy. 1t is intended
that vessel costing few thousands
Of dollars and manned by handful of
men shall attempt the destruction of
vessels costing hundreds of thousands
of dollars, carrying hundreds Of
men,"
The various ways in which de-
stroyer can be utilized in addition to
her work against torpedo boats are to
assist in the attack on a harbor or hos
tile fleet blockading, keeping blockad-
ed ports open by running the blockade,
and on dark nights letting drive her
torpedoes as she flashes by; protecting
narrow channels by lying perdu under
some lee until the moment for making
a bold dash arrives, and by accompa-
nying and acting with the fleet.
The destroyer can go like the wind,
and no ordinary sea can stop her, nor
can marksman wing her unless he
be accustomed to wing shooting. She
can carry dispatches in the shortest
possible space Of time, and as a means
of communication is the best. Then,
too, it must not be forgotten she is in
every sense combatant, and on a
dark night may shoot her bolt at such
large game as even battle ship. To
a torpedo boat she is sure death.
In general appearance the torpedo
boat destroyer closely resembles the
torpedo boat-in fact, she is but large
torpedo boat, with all her armament
equipment and fittings greatly improv-
ed

possibilities are unlimited. One of its
great advantages Is that 1t can be
operated by one man and do more dam
age in an hour than company Of in
fantry could execute with the ordinary
rifle in day.
With the aid of this remarkable gun
1t is possible to continually fire per-
feet shower of bullets at the desired
mark for any length Of time. Its ca
pacity is 200 shots minute.
So perfect Is the mechanism that
these balls can be distributed over any
desired space.
During recent test at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard shots were passed through
wall of brick over a foot thick, two
feet of oak and half-inch steel plate
Experts estimate that one Of these guns
operating from favorable point would
be capable of sweeping the deck of a
modern battle-ship in ten minutes.
The gun rests on a delicate steel
tripod and when ready for action looks
more like the oxidized telescope used
by the signal corps than anything else.
The shells are all set in a belt or rib
bon," as it is technically called. Each
ribbon" carries 1000 shells. This
necessitates the use Of a new ribbon"
every five minutes when the gun is in
action.
The ribbon" passes into the breech
of the gun through a narrow slit just
large enough to admit the free passage
Of shell. As soon as fired the empty
shells are thrown from the opposite
side of the barrel by an automatic de-
vice which is operated by the gas gen.
Grated by the explosion Of the shells.
At the base of the tripod there is
saddle such as is used for seats on BIZ
cycles. This is to enable the gunner
to do his work Of devastation with
every possible comfort. All that is
necessary to keep the gun in perpetual
operation is slight pressure on the
trigger.
The guns will be used for arming
cruisers and vessels of the merchant
marine

DEVELOPMENT IN WARFARE.

Every Navy ID Building Them with Fever
ish Haste-smaIl But Terrible Engines Of
Destruction Various Ways In Which
They Are Utilized.
There seems to be q difference Of
opinion among the naval powers OF
the world as to the relative fighting
value Of the torpedo boat and what is
called in England the torpedo boat de-
stroyer. Mr.. John Plat, who is the
agent III this country for the great
shipbuilding firm of John l. Thorncroft
& Co., Chiswick, London, the largest
builders of torpedo boats and Destroy
ers in the world, said when interview
ed on the subject:
There are no torpedo boats build
ing to-day in England, for it is consid-
cred by the naval authorities there that
the destroyer type is far more effect
i've fighting machine. The destroyers
can steam thirty-two knots, have two
torpedo tubes. one fore and one aft,
and have usually three guns.
"The Fame, which is the latest de-
velopment Of this type OF craft is one
Of group Of eight built for the Admi-
rally. Her general dimensions are:
Length, 208 feet on the water line, 2l0
feet over all; depth, 10 feet inches,
and she weighs with propelling ma
chinery about 272 tons. The boat is
fitted with one IL FOUNDER and five
FOUNDER rapid-fire guns, and two re-
volving torpedo tubes, for 1S-inch
Whitehead torpedoes. She has no bow
discharge.
"The boats complement is fifty-six.
Some of the crew are berthed forward
under the turtle back and others aft Of
the machinery space. The officers
quarters are right aft, in the tradition
al though not the most comfortable po-
sition.
