DAWES ON THE TREATY.
An Interesting Letter From
the Venerable Senator.

OF the interior sent to the senate
the following interesting letter
from Commissioner Dawes. 1t
suggests some of the Objectionable
features of the agreement and
points out those which are re-
garded as especially advantageous
by the writer, who may be regard
ed as looking at it very much as
the average United States senator
will view it. The letter is as fol.
lows:
Awaiting myself of your per-
mission to make suggestions as to
the provisions Of the agreement,
/ have to. sey that the two main
: features OF the agreement, those
modifying the Curtis law, in re
spect to allotments and townsites i,
l have considered and approved
in advance, and when that law was
pending, had endevored to have
amended in this respect. The
allotment is a great improvement,
in that it allots the whole title in
each allotment, instead of surface
merely, as it is provided in that
law, leaving the remainder of the
title still in the tribe. This has
created an anomalous title, full of
intricacies and perplexities, very
much impairing its value, besides
leaving undisposed of in the tribe
an interest of hardly appreciable
value, except there be minerals,
for the disposal of which provision
is yet to be made. 1t is done,
also, by agreement instead of by
statute, thereby avoiding all pos
sible litigation as to the power Of
Congress to require it to be done
without consent. This has been
a great desideratum with the COM
mission from the beginning, and
has already attained with the
Choctaws, Chickasaws and Semi.
noles.
"The method of equalizing the
value Of allotments is new, and is
very elaborate and complicated.
| fear that it will be found very
difficult to be carried out. Other
wise it will work out equality as
near as possible. | regret to say
that it has been found necessary,
in doing this, to use any portion
OF the tribal funds. which ought to
be devoted to educational pur-
poses, public institutions and in
ternal Improvements, which will,
in the near future, make large de-
mands upon their resources. Be.
sides. there should never, if it
can be avoided, be any more dis.
tribution of funds per capita. 1t
has always proved waste, doing
vastly more harm than good.
"The changes in the townsite
provision of the Curtis law are all
in the line of simplicity, and for
the better securing and equitably
adjusting the right of both the
tribe and the owner of the i'm
proyements, excluding the specu-
lator from participation in en-
HANGED values to which he has not
contributed.
"The stipulations on the part of
the United States embodied in the
agreement are of the most impor-
tant and serious character, and /
may cause hesitation as to rati6.
cation. The commissioners were
exceedingly reluctant to concede
them; but they were a necessity,
or the negotiations would have

DOESN'T WANT MRS.GEORGE
Mrs Stanton Says She Cannot Help
Woman's Cause

New York, May 11.-Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, in speaking today of the contem-
plated appearance on the lecture platform
of Mrs. Anna f. George, said:
I'VE have women of unasSailable repu-
tation. women of character, pure women,
women of brains and courage, to fight the
battles of their sex. WomanS cause needs
no such champion as Mrs. George. Had
she been identified with the cause of wo-
mans right previous to her arrest, trial
and acquittal of the SaXton murder, L
would be one of her first supporters in the
course she is said to be about TO pursue
But she can teach nothing. Her SenSa-
tional experience cannot further our
cause, even if thousands should attend the
lectures she is said to be about to de-
liver.
because this Mrs. George of. Ohio has
been acquitted of the charge of killing a
man who proved recreant to her, 1t is no
reason that women should look to her to
release them from the thralldom they en-
dure.'
Mrs Stanton said that women should be
tried by jurieS of their own sex, adding:
1T may be that to secure her rights
woman may have to take the law into her
own hands. She may have to use the
"A man provoked by another man
knocks him down and kills him or shoots
him. Why should woman equally pro-
voked by either man or woman not be ac-
corded the same privilege? She is tried
like a man. but her judges are not of her
sex. Sentiment, you might say, in her
jury of men insures her forgiveness Well,
justice, even-handed justice, the justice
due to US as equal bearers of the burden
of the home, the real homemakers and
educators of the men who rule"

WIZARDS OF THE AIR.
Veritable Living Meteors With Ring
ling Bros Great Circus.

There is probably no single feature
of a circus programme that claims so
much breathless attention or that thrills
an audience to a greater degree than an
intrepid performance upon the flying
trapeze. This is strikingly true of the
Fishers, the wonderful aerial family,
who will be seen with Ringing Broth
ers' famous big circus when it exhibits
in this city Wednesday, May II. The
performance given by this wonderful
family of aerialiStS Is not only unique,
but also superior to anything of the
kind ever seen in this country. They &C
tually fly through space, turning single
and double SOmerSaultS in midair, and
never failing to catch each other at the
critical moment of descent. Equally
remarkable are the thrilling aerial eX-
PLOTS of the marvellous DaComas.
Swinging under the immense dome,
forty feet apart, Louis and Rose toss
their sister Fanchon across the inter
vening space, catching her with out
stretched hands, and repeating the

.terity of the performance. In addition
TO the Fishers and DaComas, Ringing
brothers offer many other high class
aerial novelties. Mile. Turnour, the
aerial equilibrist, is an unrivalled ar
fist in her line. As masters of the aer-
ial bars, Alvo, Boise and Pickard are
without peers in the arenic world.
Among aerial somersault divers the
great LIE F9eur stands alone. These are
but few of the great artists whose
performances in midair excite the won
der and admiration of the thousands
who daily visit this stupendOuS show.
The trained animal features include
O'Brien's famous sixty-One horse act,
Sunlin's performing bull, Nine. Ada

A GUN SECRET STOLEN.
Emissary of Foreign Power Commits
Theft to Obtain Information About
New Invention.

Vienna, May n.-There is great excite
ment in military circles over the bold
theft by an agent of a foreign power of
an important secret in the construction of
Austria's latest quick firing guns. The
new invention was regarded a the best
of it's kind.
The new gun was being transported to
the arsenal in Vienna from the shooting
grounds north of the city today, when
the main piece, which contained the most
important secret details, was stolen. De-
tectives were at once detailed to discover
the thief 1t is learned today that the
theft was committed by an emisSary of a
foreign nation. who made his escape.
1t announced last week when the
gun was tested that it could average
forty shots per minute. This report caused
much comment in European army papers
and the military authorities of the vari-
Gus powers have been anxious to learn
further details
Official information was also given to
the press that the government would ask
the reichstag to pass a bill for the equip
ment of all the light artillery regiments of
the Austrian army with the new gun.
