In reply TO letter of inquiry
he Dawes Commission explains
the situation as to the allotment
of lands in the Cherokee Nation as
follows
"In response to your inquiry
regarding allotment of lands IN the
Cherokee Nation, we would Say
that you are evidently laboring
under mistaken idea that each
Cherokee will be entitled 10 lao or
100 acres OF land when allotment
is made.
1.-The secretary of the interior
has fixed so acres as the maximum
number to be selected in advance
OF allotment. This is unques-
tionably the highest number of
the best grade OF lands that any
single Cherokee will be allowed to
select. The Curtis bill ccntem-
plates that allotment shall be
equal in valae. and in order that
this provision may be carried out
the lands will be appraised, and
the proportion to which each in
dividual is entitled will be equal
lied on the basis of value.
'4As to whether intermarried
white men in the Cherokee nation
will be entitled to an allotment OF
land, is question which we are
not prepared 10 answer definitely
at this time, but the matter will
be determined before beginning
allotment.

THE EMANCIPATED WOMAN.
Grant the Fair Sex Some
Concessions.

Although continental Europe knows
no such freedom of the female sex as
is TO be found in this country, and even
in England, still the emancipated
woman is beginning TO be a fact in
some countries. This is notably true
of France and Italy. In the former
country short time ago women were
sense and to sign wills and other legal
documents. They are now to be al
lowed to take part in the administra-
ton of the charities and hospitals in
Paris, being made eligible for the high
er council of the assistance publique
This concession has been extended to
the sex who have contributed most
largely to the charitable funds, and
have taken part in house-to-house Wis
itations, after report by DIR. Napias,
who eulogized the work of women in
connection with the administration of
charity in England and the United
States. He held up good model to
France, Miss Florence Nightingale,
and the governors of the Paris chari-
ties considered that France also could
produce Florence Nigh:ingalesif they
gave their women chance in the work
Of organization.
Women are beginning to show their
political influence in Italy. The infiu-
ence. though great, is not, however, al
ways apparent, for it is chiefly exer-
cised indirectly and privately by the
women of the Weather classes. In
stead of forming themselves into as
sociations and leagues, and interna-
tional unions, and organizing public
meetings and competing with political
orators, the Italian women interested
in politics work quietly. and certainly
not less cfficaciously than their more
"emancipated" sisters. AS a rule,
Italian women work by means of the
old French expedient, the salon. In
Rome alone there are no fewer than
a.dozen salons devoted almost entire
ly to the discussion of political topics
Each salon has its own special political
color which IS generally that of the
husband or father, or friends Of the
mistress of the house, but, while the
thread and web of the politics carried
onin salon is spun and woven by the
men who frequent It, the personal I'M
huence OF the mistress Of the house
acts on each one Of her guests, modi-
tying views, and softenine. or Il may
be accenfuaiinR. the roughness Of am
bition. The Italian government seems

The spnnia-ds VINO Inhabit the
Isinnds Have AWARDED List
OF Mfsfortunes.

Those early settlers may well have
deserved their fate; still, one may hard
ly withhold sympathy from them in
tbeir many and varied misfortnnes. In
g.515 they had a visitation Of ants which
devonred everything before them; and
then soon after the insects had been
driven away or destroyed, an epidemic
of the smallpox decimated their ranks,
swiftly followed by another disease,
more insidious, but scarcely less ia
tai in its effects. In 1929 French pirates
burned the town of San German, on the
south coast; the fierce Caribs ravaged
the eastern provinces, carrying off some
of their prominent men TO be sacrificed
at cannibal repasts; and 10 years later,
in 1895, shat great pirate, Don Francis
co Drake appeared off San Juan,
which city he sacked, the English
claim; but to be gloriously repulsed,
the Spaniards say. The fortifications
of San Juan then mounted 20 pieces of
artillery, with "a in the great Castle del
MORO alone. There is no doubt that a
Dutch attack was repealed in 1915, and
another English attempt defeated in
1878; but in the latter instance the
Peurto Ricans were aided by hurri-
cane, which destroyed many of the
ships of war The islanders were wont
~ point many moral with this sig
nal instance of Divine interposition,
until fleet of their own was similar
ly destroyed, in 1902. when it seemed
TO them more rational to ascribe such
an event to natural causes.
During the greater part of the seven
teenth century the flibusteros and
bucaneros. composed of combined
Dutch, French and English renegade
adventurers, continually harried the
coast and attacked the supply galleons
coming from Spain. At first intrenched
Z in The island of ST. Kits, they were
driven out by fleet under Don Federi-
co Toledo. fitted out in Peurto Rico,
when they fiocked to the island of Tor
tuga. north of the coast of Hayti,.
whence they preyed upon Spanish COM
merce at their convenience.
The Moro of San Juan, standing well
out at sea. was chip on the Spanish
shoulder, at which passing ships could
not resist takinga shot or two. The last
great attack upon San Juan, previous
to the American bombardment of this
year, was in 1877, by the English, under
Abercrombie, who were compelled to
retire after three days siege.
During the century that has elapsed
since that event the inhabitants of this
rock-ribbed forress town have boasted
the impregnability of their fortifica-
tions, until so rudely disturbed by the
guns of modern battleships. A.

made proposition for the collec-

THE COTTON BOIL WEEvIL

Pest

Investigations of the Agricultural De-
partment 90 the Spread of the Mexican
Pest.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The agricul-
tural department has issued a circular
regarding the spread of the Mexican
cotton boil weevil during the past sea,
son. Several years ago the weevil
made its appearance in certain portions
of Texas and there was great fear it
would spread to the north and east OF
the infested region in that state and
ever to Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia.
The Investigations conducted by the
department show, however, that the
progress of the insect toward the north
and east has been very slow, it's spread
is practically checked by the first
heavy frost and it is doubtful whether
the insect will advance to any great
extent beyond the region of the growth
of volunteer cotton. In all the in
tested region the crop this year seems
to have been very short-a condition
largely attributable to drought. Where
there was no top crop there were very
few weevils.
In the lowlands, where the plants
showed 1ome growth OF squares, the
weevil and its work were abundant.
Careful examination of the country ad.
joining the borders of the infested area
of 1896 showed only one important ex.
tension of spread, this being immedi.
ately to the north of Cuero.

PEELED the Robbers to Beat = Retreat,
and Then Painted
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-Two men who
Sunday night, tried to rob Conductor
Walter Symington, of a Blue Island
avenue cable train, were foiled by .
woman passenger, named Miss Sadie
Williams. Besides Miss Williams there
were three other passengers another
woman and two men-and the grip
man. Neither the male passengers or
the gripman went to the help of the
conductor, who was having a desperate
fight with the robbers inside the car.
Just as the robbers were getting the
best of the fight Miss Williams con-
Guided to take a hand. Grabbing her
long hat pin that fastened her hat to
her hair. she madea lunge with the pin
on the robber nearest her. All her
strength was lent to the thrust, and the
man screamed with pain. He released
his hold on the conductor and turned
on Miss Williams. She struck him
again, and he quit the fight. Miss
Williams went for the next 4 and
she made a thrust for his eyes. The
point of the pin struck his cheek.
Take her OF" cried the robber. He
turned to look for his companion. who
by that time was on the platform,
making ready TO jump. He was asked
to come back, but lie did not. Mean
time the young woman was striking
for more vital parts than his face. She
reached with her pin for his stomach,
but his thick clothing saved him. The
conductor was then bleeding and in a
h~alf-dazed condition. When he came
to his senses there were but two pas
sengers on the car. The other passen-
gers, whose names could not be learned,
had gone. So had the robbers.
When the excitement WIS over and
the robbers had disappeared behind
some buildings Miss Williams replaced
her hat and then asked the conductor
if lie was hurt. lie was moi. Then
She tainted. She was soon revived,
however, and escorted to her home.
Miss Williams resides with her parents
and is employed as an amanuensis in
one of the down town offices. She is
small of frame, but it is said she has
the courage of u soldier.
