FEARS OF AN UPRISING.
Serious Situation in Province Of

LONDON, April 10.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph" says:
"A very serious situation which has
recently developed in the province of
Kasan, in Southeastern Russia, a terri
tory inhabited principally by Tartars,
is likely to result in a general uprising.
Famine and typhus. that have been
long devastating the Volga territory,
created such terrible havoc in that
province that the Government was. COM
PEELED to send aid, food and Red Cross
sanitary agents.
Unfortunately. rumors were circu-
lated, with the assistance of fanatical
priests, that the representatives of the
Government really wanted to convert
the Mohammedans. A genuine religious
panic ensued and the Government
agents everywhere met with a hostile
reception, being stoned and otherwise
maltreated, so that it became impossi-
Bile to distribute the aid sent. The Gov
ernment is now endeavoring to reassure
the misguided Tartars.''

THE GREAT PACIFIC.



rhc Future Of That Ocean Is the Future
Of the World.
The relations of the great powers
are changing, and the Pacific is be.
coming the center of their striving.
The powers that adjoin this ocean
are destined to be the actors in the
next drama of the world and the
Pacific the stage thereof. England
is the greatest of these powers.
This she owes to Canada and to her
possessions in the east. Russia is
destined to a future greater than
England's present. France is MAX
ing desperate efforts to build up for
herself an Asiatic foothold in this
company. China's vast population
and wide territory make her another
factor in the problem. She may be
conquered and enslaved for years,
but the great vitality, the great in
dividuality, the exclusive cohesive
ness of her people, seem to destine
her to an ultimately independent
national existence. She must even
tually emerge from her position of
subjection and inferiority and be-
come one of the great nations of the
earth. Japan's role will be smaller
one, but the inherent identity of her
interests with China's must make
them allies against Europe in work
ing out their common destiny. In
the hands Of these powers lies the
future of the Pacific, and the future
of the Pacific is the future of the
world.
Our country cannot shut its eyes
to this condition The people of
America, with rapidly increasing
population producing more than
they can consume, with an aggres-
sive character that brooks no oppo-
sition, with coast line greater than
that of any power of Europe, dotted
with fiourishing cities, constitute a
factor in the future of the orient
that no apathy, no neglect, can be-
little. Whatever policy we may
have inherited as to entanglements
with European powers must be dis
carded here. The people of the
United States must not be content
to see their neighbors to the west,
with their boundlcss potentialities
Of trade, handed over, on uncontest-
ed prize, to the ambitions of Eu-
rope. America may attempt to
evade the responsibility thrust upon
her. She may, with shortsighted
resolution, turn her face away from
her great future, but she will not
succeed. The markets of the orient |
are the heritage of her merchants
and the time will inevitably come
when the voice of the republic will |
be heard in oriental courts with the
same accent of authority as in the |
commonwealth of South America.
Il will be well if the certainty of |
his destiny could be recognized be-
lore European craftsmanship has

THE WORK OF N

The indications now are that
next week will witness the usual
rush TO T%ahlequah by lobbyists
and others interested in Cherokee
legislation. There are various
and sundry loose ends to be taken
up, and important move to be
mads. OF course the collection of
the "a, 000, 900 claim will come up
for consideration and there will be
plenty Of applications for the job
Of collecting it. There are out
standing warrants to be paid, and
the council will be asked to au-
thorize the issuance OF some thous-
ands of dollars in certificates lost
Or destroyed by fire and otherwise.
The cattlemen will no doubt want
the so cents a year tax on import
ed cattle stricken from the law
books, as well as all other grazing
taxes. During the Mayes admin
istration there has been no cattle
tax of any kind demanded. But
since the U. S. government has
begun the collection of tribal reve-
nues the only thing to be done
will be to repeal the law.
The Cherokee schools will be
one of the most important items
of legislation that will be consid-
cred. At present our expendit-
ures for educational purposes far
exceeds = the available school
funds. We need more schools
and more teachers for those al.
ready in operation, and some
means of increasing the school
funds will have to be devised.
The revenues now being collected !
it is thought will greatly augment
the school fund and should be
added to until an ample fund is
secured TO bring the opportunities
of an education within the reach
of every Cherokee child within
the bounds OF the nation.

Whereas, it has come to the

also urging the officers of the Uni

and ii appears thatJhe attacks and
insinuations made therein are IN
called for and unwarranted and
made out Of a spirit Of malice,
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
directors of this bank, that this
bank do not further patronize said

fcers Of this bank be instructed to
withdraw all advertisements and

ing necessary for the bank done by

AN ODD INDUSTRY.
Dealing in Oyster and Clam Shells
Develops Into n Profit
able business.

A singular and little known industry
is carried on in this city in the sale
of oyster and clam shells. The deal
ers in this commodity pursue their call
ing in so unostentatious a way that it
attracts no attention. From the eat
ing-houses where oysters and CLAIMS are
consumed the year round the shells
are collected by persons who either
carry on that business for themselves
or are in the employ Of the wholesale
dealers. 1t seems incredible how large
an ares, Of GROUND can be covered many
feet deep with the conglomerate Of
shell and foreign matter that is un-
avoidably collected with it and appar-
emily amalgamates without destroy
ing the characteristics Of the harder
material.
Seeil a number of carts loaded with
shells moving toward the same point
would induce the s%upposition that more
reclaimed land was being filed in with
material that would exclude the posi-
bility Of such land even being used as
a market garden, or it might be taken
for granted that another dump heap
was allowed in some of the still unoc-
cnpied upper West side lots. But if
curiosity should lead to Investigation
IL would be found that the carts were
bound for a big yard at ~Fifty-fourth
street and the North river, where they
deposited their loads.
Every autumn The yard is'so filed up
that a considerable hill of she'll is
formed. This being ~excayated from

"rhink a Moments

When a newspaper man meets a
person and askes the question,
"What do you known" it is no I'M
meaning phrase. He is interested
in what is going on in the world.
However, nine times out OF ten he
win be answered, Nothing" The
condition should be reversed, for
if the party woald think for a mo-
ment be would no doubt scratch
up an item which would be Of in
terest TO hundreds of people, and
the newspaper man would be
glad to tell it, 1t is often the case
that the reader wonders why the
paper didn't notice an incident Of
which he or she was cognizant, yet
it is quite probable that they had
been approached during the week
and asked, "What do you know?"
and a hippant reply given. A
good local, newsy paper is a bene-
fit to a community, and no citizen
loses anything in giving the editor
an item and thus assist In making
