LAND SEEKERS ANXIOUS.
Awaiting The Fate Of Senate Bill 10 Open
New Territory.

The introduction by Senator Chiffon,
of Texas, of bill to open the Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache Indian rescrva-
tons has caused excitement among the
land boomers For the last year home
seekers and others have been camping
near the lands, waiting for the opening
hour to roll around.
The announcement that this new
country may be opened soon has in
creased the number of landseekers. An
other reason for the unusual activity is
the fact that the Wichita Mountains,
which pass through these Indian reser-
vations, are reported to be rich with
gold. The country is well adapted to
the growing OF wheat, oats, corn, cot
ton and stock raising.
1t is understood that the cattlemen,
who have considerable portion of
these lands leased for grazing cattle,
will fight Senator Chilton's bill.

The London Mail says: General
Butler, according to the war officials,
was to be in Pretoria by Christmas. His
army corps was described as steam
roller that would advance in triumph
over the Orange Free State and the
Transvaal. Since the red tape officials
ignored the suggestion to enlist South
Africa Englishmen and volunteers, both
from home and from the colonies, at
present England is very denuded OF
troops by reason OF the ignorance, tar
diness and miscalculations Of some Of
fcials."
The Chronicle says: "We wanted
victory sorely and we have not got it.
Three reverses in few days makes this
the gloomiest week since the war be-
gan"
The Telegraph says: "The moral fibre
OF the British empire is now being tes-
ted as it has not been since the Crimea
and the Mutiny. 1t is necessary to con-
vince now not only the Beers, but the
disloyal Cape Dutch and contnentals OF
the strength of Our military resources"
The Standard says: "The sacrifices
already made in the lives, health and
liberty OF our countrymen are painful.

lish homes. A striking success some
where was wanted, alike for direct and

"Such tender consideration for the
Americans is misplaced. Only self
essertive attitude on the part OF the

An appeal by Mr.. Mason CID for an
expression Of sympathy for the Trans

Britain was the feature OF the Senate
proceedings Monday The resolution
upon which Mr.. Mason based his speech
was referred, at the conclusion OF the
address, to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, Mr.. Lodge (Mass.) considered
1t too delicate question in view OF the
position OF this Government to pass up

Mr.. Mason said:

Republcanism began in earnest July 4,
i77o, and no treaty OF peace has ever
been concluded, nor ever will be, until
the question is settled right.
The monarchical trust company
though often quarreling among them
selves, have always agreed on one thing
that republic is a mistake"
Alter quoting extensively from Dan
iel Webster's speeches in support OF his
position, Mr.. Mason continued:
But we are told that England was
Our friend in the war with Spain. How?
Her people were our friends because
her people are a Christian people; her
Government has never been our friend,
except for purposes OF its own. | have
no desire TO twist the lions tail, but
truth compels the statement, SO far as
our interests are concerned, that for the
last half century the Government OF
England and the people OF England
have been divided You remember

to divide the Union, but the brave,
starving weavers refused to resolve
against us, saying they would starve be-

cry. But even suppose she were to-day
our best friend, are we to be silent and
uphold wrong in consideration OF that
friendshipl We Republicans are charg-

GOOD MARKET IN NEW POSSESSIONS.
HUNDRED MILLION A YEAR.
Supplies Formerly Furnished 10 Cuba and
Porto Rico by Spain Now Como from
the United States.

A hundred million dollars a year ap-
pears to be the present market offered
to the people of the United States by
Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines, provided we are able TO
supply the normal demand in those is
lands for foreign products. This csti-
mate is based upon their actual con-
sumption in years of normal conditions.
How rapidly this will increase remains
to be seen, but If the experience OF the
past year in Hawaii is an indication of
what will happen elsewhere the increase
must be very rapid.
The exports from the United States
to Hawaii in the ten months of 1900
whose record is now complete are more
than double those of the corresponding
months OF 1907, and nearly double these
of the corresponding months OF 1903,
while TO Cuba they promise to exceed
in 1900 those of any preceding year,
even surprising that of the great reci-
procity year, ISo3 when the exports to
that island were double the average OF
earlier years.
More than one-half of the supplies
which Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Phil
ippines have received from other parts
of the world in former years have been
furnished them by Spain, and this fact
has led to the preparation by the Treas
ury Bureau of Statistics of a series Of
tables showing the expectation OF prin-
cipal articles from Spain to each OF these
islands in 1896, the latest year in which
commercial conditions in those islands
were at all normal,
From these tables it is shown that the
