NO wOnEN SUPERINTENDENT.
Commissioner of Iadisa Affairs New
Rule Regarding indian Schools.

Washington, D. C.. August 90
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Jones has decided that no women
will be appointed in the future as
superintendents of Indian schools.
The principal objection to women
superintendents lies in the fact
that at all Indian schools industrial
training is the principal feature,
and, 1T IS said, it has been demon
strated that women are untitled for
work of this character. Herds of
cattle, farms, gardens, etc., at
nearly all the schools are to be
looked after by the superintendent
who also has charge of the dis
bursements, is expected to prepare
estimates for new buildings, re-
pairs and other improvements
Where man is superintendent he
has general oversight over the en-
tire plant and operates the literary
department through a principal
teacher, the domestic department
tH1OuSA q uldtIOl. anu TUE luuuS
trial branches through a farmer OF
industrial teacher, as the case may
be
Unless a person is competent
to manage such an institution, -
said Commissioner Jones, he
rarely gets efficient work out of the
subordinates. 1t has been the ex
perience of this Office that men are
better adapted for this work than
women. As teachers of young
people women are eminently sue
cessful. They are essentially
teachers, and in this line of work
in majority of cases are vastly
superior to the men. In the gen.
eral lines of Indian education their
work has been invaluable and their
delicacy of manner and refinement
has an excellent influence in the
moral training of the Indian
youth"

The Afro American council, hold

ranging for a state to be occupied
by colored people. When asked
what portion of the United States
had been selected by the advocates
of the scheme, Bishop Holsey, of
Texas, replied:
That is yet undetermined, but
| believe that my people will be
glad to accept any portion Of the
country where they could exist.
Oklahoma and New Mexico have
been mentioned, but we have net
got so far with the project that we
feel in a position to select any par
ticular territory. One thing is
certain, however. and that is that
each year the racical differences are
rendering it more and more impOs-
sible for the whites and the blacks
to occupy the same territory, and
there is nothing for the blacks to
do bat move" "

Encroaching on Indian Lands.

Since the building of the
Rock Island extension west from
Chickasha through the Kiowa and
Comanche reservations prospectors
have been attracted to that section
and are encroaching upon the In
dian lands. Several attempts have
been made to locate town sites and
many men have settled on the neu-
trail strip along the Washita river
Sharp swindlers have also been at
work selling to people so call
ed preference rights to file on
Indian lands when the reservation
is opened, and have caught many
victims. These encrOachments
have become so numerous that the
interior department has sent an in
speetor and surveyors t. e. tablish
the line of the reservat on, eject in
truders and secure evidence against
swindlers.

RUMORED AND DENIED.
That MpIor General Miles Is GOInR Co
MsnIIs to Supersede Otis.

Denial comes quick after the re-
port that Secretary Root is going
to send Major General Miles, com
manding general of the army. to
the Philippines. Algerism is evil
IDENTIFY not entirely dead, and the
statement that appeared in this
mornings papers that Miles was
to start in October for Manila gave
offense to the inner administration
circles. 1t was eApeditiously given
out from a source of "unquestion-
able reliability" that Secretary
Root has fully determined to make
no change in commanders for the
Philippines campaign. He has
decided, it is said, to leave General
Otis in charge. He has reached
this conclusion, not because he is
satisfied with the conduct of af-
fairs, but is simply actuated by the
desire to try him thoroughly
There will be no excuse for the
cry on the part of the friends of
Otis that he has been made mar
tyr, or that he has been offered up
to satisfy popular clamor He
will be given a fair trial, and if he
meets it in Il manner calculated to
gain the appreciation of Secretary
Root, he will be permitted to stay
where he is. If, after the trial,
the Judgment of General Otis as
expressed in the round robin of the
Philippine correspondents should
prove to be the correct one, he will
be recalled.
On the other hand, it is said
upon quite reliable authority that
Gen. Miles has ordered a tropical
outfit, including new uniforms,
ETC., and the fact that he is going
is pleasing to the new secretary of
war, although Mr.. Root did not
suggest it to Gen. Miles. There
will be continued denials of this
statement, it is expected, and Gen.
Miles and his friends will lose no
opportunity to discredit it. They
w Ill InIOh dS
his plans as they did when he left
for Cuba to assist Gen. Shafter be-
fore Santiago. Gen. Miles will, of
course, take his staff, and his
party will be formidable in num-
bers. He will be of material as
sistance in prosecuting an active
campaign.
Secretary Root is evidently not
in accord with Gen. Otis Philip
pine policy. This is quite evident
from the manner in which addition
al troops are to be hurried to the
islands. Otis positively affirmed,
nor has he modified his assertions
on the subject recently, so far as
can be learned, that he can subju-
gate the islands with a force of
10000. The force which he will
have at his command before No
vember will number more than
twice that many.

Discovered Two nurders

The preliminary hearing of the
alleged murderers of Red Cloud
Brown, the Cherokee youth who
was fOully slain in Goingsnake dis
trict some time ago, was set for
this morning, says the Muskogee
Times. A number of witnesses
for the government arrived in town
this morning, but the hearing of
the seven defendants was continued
until tomorrow in order that it
might be conducted before Com
missioner McCombs, who is now
at Sallisaw, but will arrive in the
morning.
The Red Cloud Brown case is
one of the most peculiar in the
territory. The body of the boy
being found after he had been
mysteriously and foully murdered,
his father. a full blood Cherokee,
set about the task of running the
murderers to earth. Without a
single clue to begin with he not
only established the identity of the
slayers of his son, but brought to
light another murder that had pre-
yiously been committed.
