PERSISTENT HUSTLERS.
They Cause Many a Traveller To
Leave the Depots In Disgust.-A
California Man TaIks.-He Lost
His Hat In the Shuttle.

AT the Southern Pacific depot yes
terc ay was a young man whose appear
ance would indicate that he was here
in the hopes of regaiping lost health.
He wondered around the platform ner-
vously before the train pulled in from
the west and spoke to no one. When
the tr ain whistled at the curve west OF
the city his face frightened and he
climbed on top Of a trunk 30 as to catch
the face of all who arrived.
The train had scarcely stopped until
Q gruff voice was heard, Get off that
trunk, pard. We're goin' to load 'er !"
The young man stepped to the ground
with Disguised look on his face and
got on his tip-toes, SO as cot to over
look the new arrivals. All this time
the hackmen, baggage men and hus-
tiers generally were laundering about
seeking to secure business from the
passengers.
The young man kept his distance all
the time and when the crowd cleared
away he approached q man standing on
the platform very Indignantly and
made the following address:
my travels have brought me in con-
tsot with what thought were very rude
and ungentlemanly depot hustlers but
q Paso beats anything l have ever
been unfortunate enough to come In
contact with. 1 arrived here few
days ago and, with q friend, stood on
the platform studying at which place
to stop. We were soon surrounded by
q bowling mob of untamed coyotes and
il looked for time as If we were going
to be torn limb from limb. One grab
bed me by one shoulder and started to
lead me away and the rest OF the hus-
tiers interposed and it looked as II
there would not be enough OF me left
when they got thr rough, to show sam
pie 1T the next stop.

life, but the more [ pleaded the more
persistent they bee SINE, and l finally
broke loose and ran away from them,
leaving my hat behind. My friend has
not been seen since, and l doubt II he
ever will be.
clam Californian and have went
through some pretty tough deals at the
depots in that country, but I want to
say that il is nothing to be compared
with this place"
AS he finished this sentence he
moved away in the direction of the city
mum6ling something about being
prepared for them when he visited
this place again.
1t is known fact that the depot
hustlers are over ambitious at this
pos.t and something should be done to
bring them within the bounds OF
reason. They follow traveller even
after he has. entered the buss to try
and persuade him to accompany them
to their respective hotels. 1t is dis
gushing in the extreme to the new ar
rival at this point to be bounded In
such manner and they should be COM
PEELED to modify their actions consider
ably 1t is their business to get trade
but the hotel keepers whom they re-
present do not paw them for bringing
in customers dead or alive.

Major George G. Wimberly, city en-

were closed up during the past few

Major Win berly has been at work

tory. la the supervision and con-
troll Of all Indian schools BY the
federal government. This is q
part Of the system of regeneration
and salvation Of the five civilized
tribes contemplated in the Curtis
bill This year the tribal govern
ments were confronted for the first
time with the demand that they
relinquish all control and man
agement of their common schools
and higher institutions OF learning.
The tribal national boards OF edu-
cation are to be abolished, and
with them the vicious abuses Of
power, and corruption and igno-
rance Of persons with q political
"pull," who were employed as
teachers and superintendents. The
tribal governments will provide
the funds, but the federal govern
ment will expend them and con-
troll the machinery Of education.
Children Of impoverished parents,
living in squalor, superstition and
Aignorance among the bills Of In
dian Territory, are now to have
the same privileges and advsnta-
ges that heretofore have been pro-
sided for the exclusive benefit of
Indian children whose parents be-
longed 10 the "push." Each In
dian child, whether il be poor or
rich, has an equal pro rata share
in the tribal school funds. The
practice has been. however, to ex-1
pend this money for the benefit OF
the favored few. In some Of the
academies, for instance, some
families nave had four and five
children educated and maintained
at the expense Of the tribal school
fund, while other families, with
eight and nine children, have been
unable TO get . single one Of their
children admitted.
In addition to ''neighborhood"
or common schools. there isasys-
tenn Of higher education, composed
Of academies and seminaries. In.
ali the schools, books and tuition
are free, and some Of the tribes
provide free board and lodging At
the academies and seminaries. The
nsighborhood schools teach only
the elementary branches. The
academies and seminaries affect
Latin, Greek, mental philosophy,
higher mathematics, etc., but the
results have been ridiculous. The

The Bombardment OF Samoa Has Not
Aroused the Germans.
Berlin, March 31.--The German gov
erinment was taken wholly by surprise
with the news from Samoa. The i'm
perial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, is
spending his birthday, which occurs to-
day, at Baden Baden and the minister
of foreign affairs, Baron Won Buelow,
is enjoying fortnight's vacation in
H0lstein. But well informed individ-
ual says the government here is skeptical
as to Admiral Kautz's instructions. He
adds that the instructions for q bonl-
bardment were based on the British
and American claims that Mataafa was
contraveniug the Samoan act. But, the
correspondents informant points out, the
contravention was not specified, and the
government presumss that if the act was
really infringsd Herr Rose, the German
consul, would also have protested, as his
government had instructed him to strict.
ly conform to the act.
The assertion that Herr Rose protest
ed against the deposition Of the pro-
visional government Is doubted, as 1t is
claimed Herr Rose was instructed not
to identify himself with Mataafa more
closely than the representatives of the
other powers.
There is considerable curiosity In this
city as to the effect the outbreak will
have upon the attitude of the United

EX-PREsIDENT RAFAEL,


who Fomented Samoan Difficulties,
Denounces Our ON cials There.
New York. March 31.-Dr. Raffel, ex-
president of Apia, who is credited with
responsibility for good deal of the
Samoan complications, passed through
the city this week on his way to Berlin.
A reporter saw him just before he sailed
on the Kaiser Friedrich and obtained
an interview. DR.. Raffel laid stress on
the fact that he had resigned because of
poor health, and added that Chief Jus.
tice Chambers had hopelessly disgraced
himself by his decision that Malietoa
Tanus was king Of Samoa, bscouss the
opposition candidate, Mataafa, had made
himself ineligible, according to the terms
Of the Berlin conference, although on
Oct. 8 he had declared that IL Mataafa
was chosen king he must be confirmed
in the Office.
Even the British residents, according
to DR.. Raffel, thought Justice Chambers
a fool. He added that Osborne, the
ties. Mataafa's party was in the ma
jority, and the powers must submit to
the will of the natives and declare him
king. The plan of apportioning the isl
ands among the three powers Dr. Raffel
thought impracticable, because the cost
of governing it's share would be greater
to each of the powers than anything that
could be gotten out of 1t, and the customs
regulations would cause especial trouble.
DIR. Solf, who succeeds DR.. Raffel as
president Of Apia, and will, 1t Is BE-.
leved, be installed by the three powers,
arrived here yesterday, and will 20 at
once to Washington in order to consult
with the United States authorities.

Easter Lilies UnhealthfuI

Clergymen Of different churches
have discovered that Easter lilies,
when used in profuse quantities for
church decoration are unhealthful.
The odor emitted is so pungent and
oppressive as to cause severe head
aches. Choirs in the chancels of
some Episcopal Churches, it is said,
have been nearly stihed by the pun
gent odor and fainting fits have &C.
Cured. In some instances, clergy
men have been so affected as to be
unable to preach their sermons. 1t
is advised that the Gala lily, potted
plants and odorless flowers be used
for decoration on Sunday, with Il
slight sprinkling of the Easter lily.
This course will be followed by
many of the churches in Philadel-
phia and other cities, and perhaps
by some of them in our city.

General Halls brigade Is advancing
north from the water works and driv-

The United States troops rested last
night in the jungle about mile and
quarter from Malolos. The days ad-
vance began at 2 o'clock, and covered
a distance Of about two and a half
miles beyond the Guiguinto river,
along the railroad. The brunt of the
battle was on the right Of the track,
where the enemy was apparently con-
centrated.
The First Nebraska, First South Da-
kota and Tenth Pennsylvania regi-
ments encountessA them entrenched on
the border of the woods, and the
Americans, advancing across the open,
suffered a terrific fire for half an hour.
-Four men of the Nebraska regiment
were killed and 80 were wounded.
Ten men of the Dakota regiment were
wounded and one of the Pennsylva-
mans was killed.
The Americans finally drove the
Filipinos back. Although there were
three lines Of strong entertainments
along the track. the enemy made
scarcely any defense there. General
and his staff were walking
on the track, abreast of the line, with
everything quiet, when suddenly they
received a shower Of bullets from
in trees and housetops,
but these were speedily dislodged.
The enemy's loss was apparently
small, the jungle affording them such
protection that the Americans were
unable to see them, and in firing were
guided only by the sound Of the Fill
Pine shots. The American artillery
was handicapped for the same reason.
Last nights long line Of camp fires
made a beautiful sight, with the
Twentieth Kansas regiment on the
