BOOM IN MARRIAGES.
The Matrimonial Business In the ChoctaW
Nation Has Been 1t Its Highest Dur.
Ing the Last Six Weeks

Independence, Kan, Nov. S.-During
the past six months the matrimonial
business in the Choctaw nation, |. T.,
haa been at its highest. All along the
borders Of the country there have been
hundreds Of tents pitched by white
men hunting squaw wives. For many
years white man marrying a Choc-
taw squaw immediate came in possess
sion Of $50 acres Of choice land in that
nation and was allotted SO much
money yearly BY the government for
each member Of his family. Conse-
quently the more children in the FAM
lily the larger amount Of money re-
ceived. This rule and the fact that
the Choctaw girls are very attractive
have made them much sought after by
white men.
A few weeks ago the Dawes commits
sion issued an order providing that
after November |, 1899, man who was
not Of Choctaw blood marrying an In.
dian woman should not be allowed to
share in the lands and moneys of the
tribe. This ruling caused the men
who were anxious to share fortunes Of
squaws to marry much earlier than
they had intended. Consequently the
Choctaw nation has been filled with
white men hunting wives and since
this order was made more than 900
white men had married squaw wives.
The great majority of the Choctaw
girls are pure white and have beautiful
compilations Most of them have black
hair and eyes, although a few are per-
feet blondes. As rule they are high
ly educated, and If they have any white
blood in them at all they will not
marry Indians and the white men have
heretofore been somewhat in demand.
\ The girls marry at the age Of II.

CROWNINSHIELD'S REPORT.
The Chief OF the Bureau Of Navigation
Makes Several Important Recon-
mendntions About Our Navy.

Washington, Nov. $. There are three
features of interest above all Others in
the annual report of Admiral Crownin-
shield, chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton, just made public. First is an ar
ragnment of congress because Of the
failure to reward the officers recon-
mended for advancement as a result OF
the battles around Cuba; second, the
recommendation for change in the
present system Of receiving ships, and,
third, the suggestions touching the
new system of training landsmen.
The admiral states:
The number OF sailors In the navy, including
petty officers at the end Of the fiscal year was
iibOl, and $500 Of these were serving under
continuous service certificates, Over 80 per
cent Of the petty officers were native born
over 81 per cent. OF the foreign born were ma
turalIzed and IS per cent, Of the whole number
were citizens Of the United States, while Is per
cent Of the remainder had declared their In
tention to become citizens Over VI per cent.
Of the apprentices were native born and over "a
per cent OF the whole enlisted force were ma
tive born,
Upon the subject Of receiving ships
Admiral Crowninshield points out the
great expense Of maintaining such
ships in condition, with the result that,
after all, they are nothing more than
floating houses. They should give
way, he says, to permanent barracks
on Shore For the health Of the men,
for sanitary and hygienic reasons, for
drills and discipline, for economy OF
administration for the proper recrea
ton of the men and for reduced cost Of
maintenance and repair and care-tak
ing permanent buildings for the mer
should be constructed at the large
naval stations.
Upon the subject Of the training
of landsmen the report states thu
the war department was led to un
dertake this by reason Of q shortage
of men to meet the demands Of thu
navy. 1t is hoped that In the future
the inflow Of apprentices will be sufA
Gent to meet such needs, but mean
time the department has been obliget
to enlist several hundred young mer
whom It Is proposed to train for Ave o.
ten months on board training ships
The report calls attention to the fail
ure Of the personnel bill as amended u
provide officers sufficient to do thu
work Of the navy. 1t is said that Their
are not nearly enough officers available
to train the men in gunnery. Had tn
course at Annapolis been reduced iron
six to four years as proposed In tn
original bill, this fault, the admira
says, would have beer. overcome II 4

SITUATION AT LADYSMITH.
Further Details Regarding the lombard,
ment-The Engagement ut Farquhsrs
Farm-A Brussels Dispatch.

London, Nov. Special dispatches
from Ladysmith, dated Tuesday give
further details regarding the renewal
of the ombardment. The Beers, hav-
ing reoccupied their old positions, re-
mounted big guns Their firing was
accurate, but almost harmless. Some
of the troops were slightly injured by
splinters. Lieut.. +. &. Egerton and
his men from the Powerful did splendid
work and quickly silenced the Boer
guns. The Beers acknowledge having
suffered heavy losses in men and horses
in the previous battle.
Gen. Jan II. NJ. Kock, who was Sec
ond in command in the Transvaal
forces and who was wounded in the
battle of Eandslaagte, died in the
hospital at Ladysmith on Monday
night. 9,
Little light is thrown on the actual
situation by the news at hand yester-
day. The magnitude of Mondays
fight, however, is more than ever evil
dent. Virtually three actions were
raging simultaneously, but it is obvious
that the intention to roll back the
Orange Free State troops was not
achieved.
A report that Boer force with guns
from Koomati Poort is making its way
through Zululand is held to indicate
an intention to seize the railway
between Coenso and Pietermaritzburg,
If it has not already been seized. This,
however, will soon be known, as ar
mored trains are patrolling the line.
The real question now for the British
public Is, can Gen. White hold out
another ten days or two weeks until
the army corps arrivesp
White has cabled the war office that
in the engagement on Farquhar's farm
near Ladysmith, October 30, when
Lieut.. Col. Cartoons column was com
PEELED to surrender, six officers were
killed and nine wounded. Among the
pon-commissone officers and men the
casualties were "a killed and 2Sl
wounded.
The Daily News has dispatch from
Ladysmith, dated Tuesday at 1890 a.
m, which gives the first independent
account Of the cutting off OF Lieut.. COL
Cartoons column in the engagement
at Farquhar's farm. The correspond
ent says:
The column was sent out Sunday night made

POST OFFICE REPORT
The Auditor Makes Ills Statement
for the Past Year.
FOR ACELEBRATlON At WASHINGTON
A Committee to Plan Appropriate Festivl-
tics on the Establishment Of the Gov.
eminent In District of Columbia
Data on the COlOred Race.

Washington, Nov. THE auditor
for the post Office department, in his
annual report, shows that during the
last year the number Of post offices in
the United States increased from r..
976 to 74,3S4; the number of domestic
money orders issued increased from
a. 79S, O7S, representing $4Ol, 1877, to
29,OOZs $40, representing $442, 4SS, 1854, a
net increase in number Of 1900, 792
and in volume of S4i.369, $3.50. During
the year the revenues of the postal
service increased from SS9,012,6lS to
$95, O9l, 1884, and the expenditures from
$97, 1858, 4O7 to SOL, 1882, 100, a net increase
in the receipts Of $0,OOs, 765, and in ex-
penditures Of $S,77S,759. Upon this
showing the auditor asks for an in
crease of 80 clerks as a minimum re-
quirement for the year 1900.
Considerable space is devoted to the
subject of money orders and state
ment is given which shows that during
the last year the system was conducted
at an actual loss to the government of
approximately SlO5, 1906, which fact, the
auditor says, would suggest the ex-
ercise of great care in legislating for
the employment Of new financial fea-
lures in the postal service.
The postal revenues for the year are
shown to have been $95, OBI, 1884 and the
expenditures SOL, 4S5, $3.50, leaving de-
felt of IS, 41S, 1856. OF this amount the
treasury has advanced 100000, the
balance unpaid being $4lS,SSb. The
amount Of second-class postage collect
ed from publishers and news agents
was IS, 527,OSs and the amount Of
stamps, stamped envelopes, newspaper
wrappers and postal cards sold was
| $S7, $50, 654. The cost Of mail transpor-
tation is given as S54, 1858, O5s, OF which
amount sl,629, "a was paid for the
transportation Of foreign mail. The
auditor renews his recommendation OF
last wear to the effect that the life Of
money orders be limited to three
months instead Of 10 months as now
provided by law.

in London Is that the Beers are now
waiting for more guns from Pretoria
before attacking Ladysmith. The fact
that Sir Redsers Butler appears to have

to some extent the public mind, which
otherwise would have been further
alarmed. Confidence is felt in any

desirable. The knowledge that the
