95l pupils The average attendance and en-
rollment has steadily increased for the
past 2l years. Vigorous inquiries made by
commissioners during the year show sig
nificantly that SO per cent. of these pupils
who have gone through thu schools and re-
turned to their homes are reported TO be
in good physical condition. contrary TO the
frequent suggestion that the change might
break a naturally strong and vigorous con-
stitution. or the pupils attending school
three per cent are reported as excellent or
first-class. 70 per cent. as good or medium.
while only "a per cent. are considered bad
or worthless, showing In the commission

Agents are now being urged to greater ex-

their capacity by placing therein every
child of school age on the reservation

ly emphasize that regula ton enforcing

must be enacted. The placing of Indian
children in the public schools of lie coun-
tr-' for the purpose of coeducation of the

In Memory of ParneII.

Dublin, Oct. 10.-Most of the citizens
of Dublin wore the ivy leaf Sunday, it
being the anniversary of the death of
Charles Stewart Parnell. Thousands
participated in the ceremonies at Glas-
nevin cemetery, the lord mayor and cor
poration and delegates from the munic-
ipality and all the chief towns of Ire
land, in full regalia, taking part in the
procession. This was headed by a
floral car, bearing bust of Parnell, al
most buried in wreaths and garlands
for the grave. The ceremony Of depos-
iting the wreaths upon the grave was
highly impressive, though simple.

they say, it is observed strictly only by
men whose unions are directly affected
and by the more ardent unionistspf
other crafts. In addition, they say,
the public looks on the boycott with
disfavor, and as it depends for its sue
cess wholly on unseltshness in labor's
ranks, it has no bright future. Officials
of local and state bodies declare the
union label is far more effective
means of propagating the use of union
products. Many of the leaders predict
that the beginning of next year will
see every boycott in the United States
declared off and struggle of more pa
cific kind commenced to spread the
sale of union-made goods.

IN THE SENATE
The Day Given to War and Wal
Preparations


WASHINGTON, April 25.-After a .
. debate of one hour and half. the .
. senate today passed bill declaring .
. that a state of war existed between .
the United States and Spain. .
The bill was in the same language .
. as that passed by the house. The de- .
. bate in the senate was based on an .
. amendment offered by Senator Tur- .
pie providing for the recognition Of .
. the beligerent rights of the insurgent .
. Cubans, the amendment being prac- .
tically in the following language: .
1--WE hereby recognize the rights Of .
. the Cuban army under General Gomez .
. to be treated as belligerents, the free .
. dom and independence of the Cuban .
. people having heretofore been recog- .
. nized by act of congress" .
The same amendment had been urged
in the committee on foreign relations pre-
vious to the reporting of the bill to the
senate and the Indiana senator only
agreed to the bringing Of the bill on con-
dition that his amendment should be pre-
sented to the senate. Both in committee
and in the senate Turpie made elaborate
arguments in support of his proposition.
The roll of the senate was called upon this
amendment and it was defeated by ma
jority of II. the vote standing "a to 80.
There was also some criticism of the fact
that the bill fixed date in the past when
the war had begun. Senator Pettigrew de-
clared that the 21st was evidently used in
order TO make legal the capture of the
lumber vessel, the Buena Ventura, on that
date. He characterized this as a small
piece of business for either the admins
tration or congress to indulge in and said
that under the circumstances, If he had
been president, he would have returned
the ship to it's owners. He predicted that
the courts would in the end settle the claim
