off the police at the canal for duty else
where and then Nicaragua's protection
ended.
Even if the existing concession to the
Maritime Canal company of Nicaragua,
chartered by the government from the
United States, were abrogated, there
comes to the front the concession
granted in 1897 to the Caribbean and
Pacific Transit company, limited, of
Liverpool, England, for the exclusive
right of steam navigation on the Rio
San Juan del Norte for 80 years, with
other concessions of lands, timber, etc
This company desires to control not
only inter-oceanic transportation
across Nicaragua, but claims the privi-
lege in its charter to build and operate
a system of railroad and steamboat
transportation sufficient to also control
the interior transportation of the coun-
try. With such privileges, the English
company is not likely to sell out to a
new concern, even if the latter succeeds
in having the existing charter of the
Maritime Canal company annulled. 1t
is not possible, however, that the gov
eminent of Nicaragua will grant a ca

posit as a guarantee bond. together

GOOD GOODS, WELL ADVERTISED.

Going the rounds of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking
Powder company is the largest adver-
tiser in America. OF course, the bust
ness itself must be an enormous one to
justify so great an expenditure in pub
licity. There is no fallacy more dan
gerous than that success can be gained
by advertising an article of Indifferent
merit. But, given an article Of the
highest quality like Royal Baking Pow
der which, when the hOusekeeper has
once used, she finds if she desires the
best food, she cannot do without, then
the greatest measure of success is at
tanned by keeping it continuously be-
fore the public. Great merit and good
advertising are both essential 70 make
a product a great success. The Royal
Baking Powder, possessing the first, it's
proprietors have wisely used the sec
ond, and the result is apparent

for advertising like the newspapers,

THE INDIAN QUESTION
Strong Platform Adopted at the
Eastern Conference.
MANY REFORMS URGED
ADJUSTMENT OF THE INDIAN
BUREAU DEMANDED.
Political Changes In Personnel of
Agency Appointees Condemned as
Being Derogatory to Efficient Ser
vice-Congress Will Be Asked to
Adopt New Policy.

Lake Mohonk, N. Y, Oct. 15.-At yes
terday's session of the Indian confer
ence, Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott, chair
man for the business committee, pre-
sented the report of platform for dis
cussion and adoption by the confer
ence, as follows:
Great progress has been made in
dealing with the Indian race in our
country. The nation no longer regards
them as hostile people, nor even as a
foreign people. The reforms inaugu-
rated under President Grant have been
carried forward towards their logical
results; the policy of disseminating the
reservation system had been accepted
and in many of the reservations the
land has been allotted in severalty and
the surplus land sold for the benefit of
the Indians. Less money is expended
in rations, which pauperize, and much
more in schools, which prepare for self
support.
THE government has recognized the
value of the education of Indian wom-
en- in their homes, in the domestic arts,
and has appropriated increased sums
to carry on this work The anomalous
partnership between the nation and the
churches has been discontinued and
now only one denOmlnatlOnal BODY
looks to the government for aid in sup
port of its schools. The schools of the
other denominations are supported by
themselves, and the government itself
has organized and is carrying on with
comparative efficiency the work of the
similar education of all Indian children
of school age in the reservations.
Nevertheless, the Indian problem is
still far from solution. A needlessly ex-
penSive system is maintained nomin-
ally to care for the Indian, and in a
large measure to care for party and
political favorites. The schools, the
clerks in the bureau at Washington
and the agency physicians have been
brought under the civil service law,
but with these exceptions the Indian
bureau remains a political machine,
subject to change in all it's personnel
at every presidential election.
"'By both Democratic and Republican
administrations men have been put at
the head of the Indian bureau who are
neither familiar with Indian affairs nor
acquainted with methods of education.
Indian agents and Indian inspectors
have been appoint d without training
or any evidence of their fitness for Of
flee. In more than one instance drunk
en- officials have been appointed in the
reservations and we'll authenticated
complaints have failed to secure their
removal or have resulted only in trans

salary.

tions have been discontinued and the
land has been allotted in severalty, the

NICARAGUA CANAL SITUATION
NEW AMERICAN SYNDICATE
WANTS A CONCESSION.
Cannot Be Granted Until the Mari
time Canal Company's Franchise
Expires-English In the Way.

Copyright, 1898. by the Associated Press)
Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. IA
Messrs. Edwin F. Cragin Of Chicago,
Edwin Elmer of the firm of w. r. Grace
& Co., and Frank S. w. Osborne of
New York, have arrived at this capital.
The object of their mission is to OBJ
tain from President Zelaya authority
to attempt to organize a company and
obtain the necessary capital, estimated
at 800, 200 in gold, to construct a
canal across Nicaragua.
President Zelaya has placed them in
conference with the acting minister Of
public works, in order to ascertain
what they propose to accomplish and
what guarantees they will offer in re-
gard to the proposed construction of an
ocean canal across the peninsula of
Nicaragua. There are, however, several
obstacles in the way at present that
appear insuperable to the organization
of new company with concessions
that would attract and satisfy capital
lists.
One of these is the fact that the
Maritime Canal company of Nicara-
qua" is still alive and that it's charter
is unimpeachable and is to remain in
force until October, 1899, according to
the capitalists, but only until October,

Nicaragua. However, the company has
a strong claim to many years further
existence of the life of its charter in
the fact that owing to the numerous
revolutions and other disturbances in
the country since the granting of the
charter in 1887 the people have been
seriously unsettled by the infliction of
heavy fines, forced loans, Imprisonment
and impressment by one political party
or another into the army, this being es-
pecially so in the case of the laboring
class and causing thousands of the ma
tives to flee to other states for refuge,
so that no extensive work like the cut
ting out of a canal channel was posi-
bic in the circumstances. Under the
contract held by the company the gov
eminent of Nicaragua is obligated to
keep at the canal works a police force
sufficiently strong to protect the con-
tractors, engineers and laborers and
guard the machinery, edibles and sup
plies. This force was maintained at the
menced, but subsequently, owing to
storehouses and workshops at Grey
town when work on the canal was COM
menced, but subsequently, owing to

entire machinery of the agency has
been retained, though no considerable
service is required, and the retention is
clearly against the spirit of the law.
These evils have shown themselves
alike when the appointments have been
left with the Indian commissioner,
when they have been reserved by the
secretary of the interior to himself, and
when they have been practically left
to local politicians. Some excellent Of
ficials have been appointed and some
excellent work has been accomplished,
but this is not because, but in spite Of
the system.
Two illustrations of the evils of this
system have been afforded during the
past year The first is the removal of
DR.. Mailman, Notwithstanding his
splendid record as superintendent OF
Indian schools, attested by protests
against his removal by men of all
parties and sections who were familiar
with his work, including many educa-
tional experts. The second is the out
break of Chippewa Indians, whose val
liable pine timber the government, by
the agreement of 1889, covenanted to
sell for their benefit and is still apprais-
ing and re-appraiSing as a preliminary
to such sale. Two successive aDDra1S-
ments, eXtravagantly conducted, have
already been set aside as worthless,
with a third appraisement in progress.
We have applied to successive admins
trationS to remedy these abuses and the
abuses still continue.
I'VE now apply to the people of the
United States to demand of their gov
eminent that the Indian bureau be
taken out of politics; that the Indian
commissioner be no longer treated as
a political officer, to be changed with
every change Of administration, and
-
trusted to experts and left in their
hands until it is accomplished And we
also appeal to them to demand of con-
gress that it set on foot at once meas
ureS to bring the Indian bureau and its
work to an early close; that it eXpe-
dite the dissolution of the reservations
and the allotment of the land in sever
atty; that it give all Indians every
where right to apply to the courts
and render all Indians everywhere &C
countable to the courts and that it thus
prepare the way for the adjustment
of a costly policy. unjust to the Indians,
injurious to the whites and an impede
ment to civilization"
This platform. with slight verbal
amendments, was adopted.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That a committee of sew
en-, of which the chairman of the con-
ference shall be the chairman, and
which shall have power to increase the
number, be appointed by the chair to
prepare, during the next year, a
scheme adapted to carry out the policy
outlined in the platform and appeal and
propose to the next conference for its
action"
The committee is also authorized to
gather in the interim between the next
conference the facts concerning defects
in Indian administration. and in behalf
of this conference, in their discretion,
to present them to congress, to the ex-
ecutive and to the press.

London, Oct. 15.-Most Of the lights of
society attended the Newmarket race
meeting, which was very crowded and
gay. The Duke and Duchess of Devon
shire, who are acknowledged leaders
of society, had the most distinguished
house party.
Among the conspicuous figures at
Newmarket was Lady William Reres-
ford, the American lady who was for
merly Lillian, Duchess of Marlborough.
She has nearly recovered from her re-

Countess of Essex, formerly Miss Grant
of New York.

CurZOn, the new viceroy of India, with
another London residence, in the heart
of the diplomatic quarter.
A big gathering of aristocrats came
to London for the purpose Of attending
the marriage of Lady Margaret Child
Villiere eldest daughter of the Earl of
Jersey, to the Hon. Walter Fitz- Uryaa
Rice, son of Baron Dynever. While civic
London mustered in great force at the
wedding Of Miss Florence Davies,
daughter of the lord mayor of London,
to Mr.. Charles BartOn,r son of Major
General Barton, which was followed by
a big reception at the Mansion House.
The death of the Marquis of Angel
sey on Thursday is another blow to
social gayety this season, as it sends

new Marquis of Angelsey, only son of
the deceased marquis, was born in 1915,

turn to the United States in preference
to paying it. They then appealed to
the consul general of the United States
here, Mr. w. NJ. Osborne, but the lat
