Representative Sherman of New York
gave ont a quiet tip yesterday that Secre-
tary Bliss was resigning from the Cabinet
to become ambassador to London. Mr..
Sherman appeared to have an exclusive
monopoly of this news" 1t could not be
corroborated in any quarter, and probably
has no foundation. The reason assigned
for Mr.. Bliss retirement from the Cab
met is that his private business requires
his undivided attention. II he should go
to London he would be more out of touch
with his private business than if he re-
manned in the Cabinet.

Apache chief, who is one of the Indians
now in camp at the Indian congress.
Il have never been in Minnesota, but
hear that up there and for hundreds of
| miles beyond the white men are as
many as the blades of grass. If that is
so, what can a few poor Indians do in
fight? They are making a great mis-
take and are fools.
For years 1 fought the white man,
thinking that with my few braves l
could kill them all and that we would
again have the land that our Great Fa-
Their gave us and which he covered with
game. l thought that the Great Spirit
would be with us and that after we had
killed the white men, the buffalo, deer
and antelope would come back After I
fought and lost, and after l Travelled
over the country in which the white
man lives and saw his cities and the
work that he had done, my heart was
ready to burst. ! knew that the race
of the Indian was rum"
Asked what he thought would eventu-
ally become of the Indian, Geronimo
hesitated moment and then, pointing
to the west, replied: THE sun rises and
shines for time, and then it goes down,
sinking out of sight and is lost. So it
will be with the Indians"
