REINDEER FOR KLONDIK
Thirty-Five of "a Herd of Forty Two
Arrive in New York.

New York. Feb. 2.-Thirty-five reindeer.
in charge of squatty Laplander, named
Kreutz arrived vest efda from ChristianSand.
There were originally forty-two in the
herd. bat seven died from the effects OF
the rough -oyage. The dead deer were
not cast overheard, as are carcasSes OF
most animals that die at sea. kreutZ, the
Iaplander. said that they We're worth
something to him, dead or alive. He sat
bet ween decks, skinning the dead deer by
q dexterous use of his knife and his
teeth. He SAID that he was going TO con
vert the skins into overcoats. and sell
them in K,ondike region. KreutZ also
cut out the tendons of the dea deer, which
he will use for Sc wing the skins together.
The deer 1Te consigned to f. B. Scroggie,
Of Toronto. and are intended for the
Reindeer Transportation Company, whichis
to run sleds TO the KIondike. They will
be taken overland to Canada. subsistinC on

OFFTTT'S INDIAN RELICS.
They Are Examined by AnthropO-
logical Members

\ collection of Indian relics. said to
have been dug from burial mounds in
western Maryland. was exposed last
night at the regular meeting of the An
thropologioal Society. Of Washington.
The second -Gon Of the program
was given over to an interesting ad-
dress on Engraved Ceremonial
Stones by Prof John II. Mccormick.
This address was illustrated by what is
known as the "Offutt Collection" Mr..
Offutt is a prominent attorney at cum
bcrland. Md. Several years ago. while
sheriff of the county. he struck up
rather a strong friendship with a pris-
oner who was serving a long term.
This prisoner became the "trus;y" Of
Sheriff Offutt and they used To take
long wolkS through the country i'm
search Of Indian relics. Sometimes the
tTusty would be allowed to go off on
these expeditions alone. He would usu-
ally return with stone pipes. battle
axes and curious stones, which he rep
resented as having been found in
graves. Mr.. offutt. of course. accept
ed these Indian relies in good faith At
the close of Prof. Mccormick address
last night number of these relics were
passed around among the scientists.
In the discussion which followed, Dr.
kober announced that il was his belief
that the specimens examined by him
were spurious and were the work Of the
latter day white man. He called atten-
tion to the fact that the battle axes
and a set of pestles. instead of being
made out of durable stone. as Indians
would have made them, were made
from stone that was of the most porous
and fragile character
Prof. Mcclure also gave il as his
opinion that the alleged Indian relics
were of very recent date, with the eX-
ception of few flint arrow heads or
spear heads and q string of beads made
from deer horn. Prof. Blodgett and
Prof. Holmes also participated in the
discussion.
Mrs Matilda Coke Stevenson read a
profound and entertaining paper on
Ancestral Gods and Masks of the Zuni
Indians" and illustrated her address
with a unique collection of ceremonial
masks.

N>,ce ARMIES APPLICATION.
An Investigation That Promises IN
teresting Developments Ordered.

Acting Secretary of War Meiklejohn
has ordered an investigation into the
merit of the application of Mai
George II. Armes, retired, for promo
ton To the brevet rank Of lieutenant
colonel. The matter involves some in
teresting incidents and correspondence
which if pressed must lead to the
court martial Of some of the military
men concerned.
When Gen. Scho6eld was in COM
mand ~ tlir Army TN 1895. Mai. Armes
made application for the brevet title
To which he now claims the right. This
was denied by Gen. Schofeld. and
when Gen. Schofield was about to re-
tire. Maj Armes wrote him u letter
which made great sensation. Gen.
Scholield resented IL and had Maj.
ATmes arrested at his country home
and kept under arrest constructively.
This led To habeas corpus proceedings
and Mai. Armes was released.
Mai Armes has seen a great deal Of
Indian service and has the reputation
of having conducted himself galIantly,
this service being one Of the claims
on which his right 10 promotion Is
based.
The case against Maj. Armes. grow
ing out of the order for his arrest. died
a natural death. Ii was not pressed
by Gen. Sckofield. il Is said. because
he had retired from active service.
Mai Armes renewed his application
and when the board was appointed TO
examine into the claim, Mai Armes
had access To some information which
gave him what he believed Ia be the
basis Of the animus OF Gen. SChofield.
e. h. - fgf ftt rg
an affidavit by Sergeant Thornton. at
Fort Monroe. on which Gen. Schofisld
is believed by Mai. Armes To have de-
clined to make the promotion. This
affidavit was made in 1895. Maj.
Armes has. however. received another
statement which. on It's face, involves
Lieut. DuvaI. who was in the War
Department during the Endic"tt ad-
ministratiOn.
This affidavit alleges that during
the month Of March. 1898. Lieut.. Du
