Washington, ID. c.. Jan. "a.
1t is said the bills to give
statehood to Oklahoma .-arizona
and New Mexico are to be re-
ported favorably to the house
and then be killed by the com
mittee on rules. to which the
bills will be referred. Speaker
Reed has declared himself
against the admission of these
territories. which practically
mea6s they have no chance for
admission. He says the repub-
licans do not want any more

Fort Worth, Tex. Jan. a.
Messrs. Deselle and Nickel. ex-
pert miners of California. re-
Gently bought 800 acres of land
in Jack county near Jacksboro.
They have sunk a 110-foot shaft
and found numerous samples
of platinum at a depth of fifty
feet from the surface, which
continues in layers to the bot
tom of the shaft. Small guam
titles of gold and silver were
also found. Nuggets of plati-
mum as large as a pea were
found, and as the metal is three
times as valuable as gold, on
account of its indispensability
to certain electrical contriv-
ances and other scientific uses,
the great value of the find may
be seen. The men propose to
push the development of the
mine and will at once put in
machinery and crushers to fa-
cilitate the work. They are
guarding their property and no
one is allowed to enter the
mine.

From all sections of the coun-
Try comes the good word that
the prospects of a bountiful
wheat crop this year are most
favorable. The recent rains
have been most beneficial to
the farmers, and should the
season continde as favorable in
the future-as it has in the past
the crops will simply be enor-
nous.

JAILS IN THE TERRITORY.
Report on Their Condition BY ChopIsIn
TrIbou Of the Navy Creates
Much indignation.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Chap-
lain David I'll Tribou of the
navy has forwarded to the head
of his department a sensational
report on the conditions of the
United States prisons in the In
dian Territory. A copy of his
report, which was referred to
the department of justice, ere
ated the greatest indignation
there, the officials declaring
that an official of the navy de-
partment has no right to go
around inspecting prisons; that
he should be praying for the
marines.
Chaplain Tribou reported that
the Jail buildings had no sani-
tary arrangements; that they
are crowded, and that many of
the prisoners are compelled to
sleep on the floors in blankets,
often of the filthiest kind. The
jail buildings are badly lighted
and heated. and a disgrace to
the government.
The Indian Territory is divid-
ed into three districts-north-
ern, central and southern-and
in each of these there is a Jail
There is a Jail at South Meal
ester, another at Antlers and
a third at Ardmore.
The first named is a small
stone building, with a stockade
surrounding it. There is but
one room III the building. Pris-
oners sleep on the floor in blan.
kets, and a small frame bui'd-
ing in the rear of the stone
structure is occupied by fe-
males. As a rule not more
than one or two women at a
time are kept in this Jail.
All the prisoners are supplied
with two meals a day, but the
food Is condemned by Tribou;
and he criticises also the quail
ity of medical attendance fur
nished sick prisoners. The
Antlers Jail is a small frame
building, and has prisoners con
stantly in it. These have two
meals a day, but the sanitary
arrangements and medical at
tendance are very poor. The
jail at Ardmore is reported as a
max eshift building, and so over
crowded that prisoners are
obliged to sleep on the floor.
The department of justice, while
reSenting the interference of the
naval chaplain, admits that the
penal buildings in the Territory
are in wretched condition and
demanding immediate attention
by congress. Appropriations
have been asked for from time
TO time without success, and
the matter will be brought
again to the attention of this
| session.

Can it be possible, and many similar
expressions were heard last night at
Warner hall when DR.. Gray made the
most wonderful cures ever seen in New
Haven. The following were treated:
Mr.. E. j. Connors of No. COL Grand
avenue has suffered with rheumatism
for the past ten years, and tried doc
tors and patent medicines until he was
disguised. He came upon the stage
hobbling with a cane and suffering in
tense pain. He was given one treat
ment and all pain had disappeared and
he could stamp his feet upon the floor, a
thing that he had not done before in
two years.
Mr.. John Good, No. 179 Congress ave-
nue., had also suffered intense pain
from rheumatism and had not been
without it for years and after being
treated could pick up a pin without
pain.

so that you can call on them and see

they have done for us, but we shall
realize and value more and more as we
grow older their earnest efforts in our
behalf and their personal friendship.
Their influence has ever been for good
and we shall be the better men and
women for their teaching.
And now, my classmates, we sepa-
rate to go our various paths through
life. Four years together have made
many strong friendships which will not
be broken, and we shall soon have none
but the pleasantest recollections of this
school life to which we now say fare
well with mingling regret for the past
and eager ambition for the future. But
in college or in business or wherever
we may be, we are no longer to have
that close protecting care of parents

FOR STEALING A BOA.

George Brown of 235 Franklin street
was arrested last night by Policeman
Dunlap on the charge Of having stolen
a boa from Mrs. William w. Cameron.
Mrs Cameron was at the Office of DR..
Converse on Whalley avenue and just
before she entered the office she laid
the boa on a table. When she came
out of the office the boa was missing.
