Referring to the abolition of the
metropolitan police law the Wichita
Beacon says: 1t takes courage to
cut OF places In political life. Here
is party in power which ins;ructs
the Governor to abolish at once the
metropolitan police boards which will
deprive his party Of from thirty to
fifty salaried positions in all the large
cities Of the state. OF course, prac-
tically, politicians will doubt the wis
dom OF this course, but the people
win approve. TIE Populist party has
at one stroke added many thousand
votes to the ticket.

FREE HOMES CLAUSE KILLED.
IL Is stricken Ont Of the Indian Appro.
PriatiOn Bill by the Conference
Committee.

Washington, June 22.-The Indian
appropriation bill was finally agreed
on in conference Monday, and will
be reported to the senate to-day with
the free homes amendment stricken
out and substitute adopted extend
ing the time of payment for lands.
After holding out for many weeks
for the free homes clause, the senate
conferees finally receded from that
amendment, and the following SUBJ
stitute was Incorporated in the bill:
That the settlers on lands pur-
chased with the condition annexed of
actual settlement on all ceded Indian
reservations be, and they are hereby,
granted an extension until July /,
1900, in addition to the extensions
heretofore granted, in which to make
payments as now provided by law.
The bill as adopted increases the
amount appropriated in the house
measure by $4,000. The increase is
mainly for educational purposes. The
bill carries $7,700,000.
The conference report on the Cur
tbs bill TO reorganize Indian territory
was submitted to the house yester-
day. 1t disposes of all the points in
dispute. AS SO agreed on, the bill
confers on the courts jurisdiction in
cases against the numerous intruders
on Indian lands, thus providing
means for their dispossession, creates
a TOWNSHIP commission of three in
each town and imposes penalties on
any Indian holding more than his
proportion of tribal property and en-
forces the Dawes agreement with the
Choctaw and Chickasaw and Creek
tribes, though allowing conflicting
provisions in the bill to be super
seeded by the terms of the original
agreements if the latter are ratified
within six months.
IT also reserves all coal, asphalt, oil
and mineral deposits in tribal lands,
aibolishes all tribal courts in Indian
territory on July I, 1898; transfers
all civil and criminal suits to the
United States courts and extends to
Chickasaw and Greek Indian nations.
October 1, 1898, the date the act be-
comes operative as to the Choctaw,
The bill amends the mentioned agree
ments particularly to protect the
Chickasaw freedom and permit the
i.-terior department to reduce or in
crease royalties on coal and asphalt.

THE INVITATION TO WAR.
A Proclamation for 100000 Men foy'
 One Year.

Washington, April 22.-The army volunteer bill was signed by the pre- siding officers of both houses and the president today. A proclamation was prepared at the war deparmtent for call for 1000 men to serve as yOlun- teers for one year.
 In many respects the call follows the outlines of the first call made by President Lincoln on April 15, 1861. If the precedents are followed Secre- tary Alger promptly upon the signing and issuance of the proclamation will require the executive of each state to cause to be immediately detached from the militia the quota it may be called upon to furnish. President Lincoln's first call was for but 75,000, but the total number furnished was 91,S16-

Jacksonville as Might Be Expected Is

Jacksonville, Fla, April 22.-AccOrd- ing to private advices received by the Times Union and Citizen tonight, the first naval battle of the war took place opposite Boynton, about twenty-five miles south of Palm Beach, at 10 o'clock this morning George Lyman, a reliable man, and several others who were fishing in Lake Worth, which is separated from the ocean by a narrow strip of land. heard heavy firing and ran to the beach.
 They reported to the railroad agent and the postmaster at Lantana that a United States monitor was chasing and firing upon a Spanish man-of-war or gunboat conveying coal or transport ship. The Spaniard replied shot after shot. All the ships were travelling with a bone in their teeth. The men say they watched the battle for aD hour or until the smoke from the fun nels was no longer visible on the southern horizon, in which direction they were travelling.
 A special to the Times Union and Citizen says: An eye witness has just arrived from Boynton and reports the supposed transport vessel south ward bound, guarded by man-of-war. pursued by a monitor, keeping up heavy running fire.' This dispatch was dated at 10 a. m-

Arrival of Minister Woodford and

Biarritz, April 22.-United States Minister Woodford and suite arrived here late tonight. The journey after crossing the frontier was uneventful, though before that he had been sub jected to many annoyances.
 MT Moreno was member of the United States legation singled out by Spanish police for capture on the ground that he is subject of Spain, but the attempt was frustrated by the presence of mind of the minister. At Valladolid the United States minister's train was attacked and stoned. The windows were broken and civil guards were. compelled to protect his carriage with drawn swords. Minister Wood ford stood in the doorway of the car riage declaring he would not be re- moved by force.
 A detachment of police accompanied the train from Toloso to St. Sebastian, where the police officials left on seeing that the general was determined to maintain his rights.

AS TO REMEMBERING.
Spain Holds as She Did Forty Years
 Ago.

Madrid, April 22.-El Epoca, con- servative, discusses the question of privateering and expresses doubt Of the truth that the United States has renounced it's opinion, inasmuch as America and Spain were the only na- tions that maintained it at the con- gress of Paris in 1856.
 The paper insists that 'all argu- ments then adduced by the United States for upholding its opinion are now in favor of Spain, who will not renounce it. Ell Epoca says also that Spain does not consider fair the decla- ration of the neutral powers as to contraband of war, thus favoring one of the belligerents, namely America.

CLERKS IN MILITARY SERVICE.
A Civil Service Commission Decision
 Relative to Their Places.

Washington, April 22.-The civil ser- vice commission has decided that where the employees of any department of the government go into active ser vice in case of war, and the eligible list for the positions so vacated is ex- hausted, then the chief of the depart ment may appoint without the for maliy of a civil service examination. the appointment in each instance to be temporary
 This matter was brought to the at tentiOn of the first assistant postmas- ter general several days ago by Post master Van Cott of New York city. He said he had a large fierce of car riers and clerks who were members of the New York state National Guard, and if they were called into service his office would be seriously crippled. His interview was followed by a con- ference with the civil service commis- sion. General Heath called the atten- tion of the commission to the different phases of the case and asked for a ruling
 It was specially pointed out that many of the men on the eligible list, who would be appointed to the tempo rary positions were also members Of the National Guard or other military organizations, and while in New York city alone the exigencies of the case might not be sufficient to make it nee essary to go outside of the eligible list, there were communities where there was no eligible list
 The commission appreciated this possible condition, and ordered that where such a condition arose then ap- pointments could be made without the formality of an examination. It is presumed by the officials that where such appointments are made and the original clerk is killed in the service then the substitute if having proven himself satisfactory in the meantime will receive the permanent appoint ment.
