Dom Paul Was Ready.

1t would seem from the following
story that President Kruger had made
ample preparations for war when he
issued his ultinlatum. Shortly before
the outbreak OF hostilitics one OF his
staunchcst country friends called upon
him and asked why the republic did not
begin hostilitics at once. The President
looking at him said: Are you pre-
pared?' certainly" was the reply.
Il have gun, a horse and eight days
rations, as required "Havc you got

can hold out with what have for three
months. Have You six mcn,hs

could hardly hold ont for six months. ="
How about twelve months, thcn?F
mo, that l can't do" said the country
visitor We'll. what are you talking
about war Tor, then? Do you know that

HILLMON CASE ENDS.
The Plaintiff in the Noted Life In
surance Suit Gets Verdict for
Full Amount Claimed,

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 2o.-The Jury
in the I1illmon insurance case at mid
night Saturday rendered full verdict
for the plaintiff. The amounts allowed
were $22,06S against the New York Mu-
tual Life and $11,O24 against the Com
necticut Mutual. The original claims
were for $4,000 and 5000 respective
1y. The jury deliberated ten hours.
When the result was announced the
plaintiff, Mrs. ITillmon (now SMITH, al
most sWooned from JOY. This was the
sixth trial of the famous case and the
litigation has extended over a period
OF 20 years. In four of the trials the
result was hung jury. In one of them
the plaintiff secured n verdict, but the
judgment was set aside by the supreme
court.
John W. IIillmon. upon whose life
the insurance was written, disappeared
while on hunting trip near Medicine
Lodge, Kan, in 1870 and his companion
claimed he had been accidentally killed.
The companies charged fraud and
sought to prove that the body, which
was afterward twice eXhumed, was that
of man whom IIillmon had murdered.
The trials are said to have cost the in
surance companies almost 100000 and
the six long trials have cost the govern
mcnt rs much more. Mrs. I1illmon's in
terest in the claims has been largely
taken over by the LAWYERS,

SITUATION IN KENTUCKY.
Tny1or's Election on Face of Returns
Is hdmitted-Solc Hope of the
Democratic State Committee.

Frankfort, Ky, Nov. 21.-The demo-
cratic state campaign committee con-
cedes that Taylor has ma iority on the
face of the returns, but bases hope
OF the election of the democratic ticket
on throwing out the vote of Louisville
on account of interference of Gov Brad
lcy's soldiers, and johnson and Knox
countless where tissue ballots were used
The Kentucky election law plainly pro-
vldes for a secret ballot, and the repub-
llcans admit that they are not as well
fortified in the defense of their inter-
ests in the johnson and Knox counties
cases as might be, but do not credit to
any extent the democratic claim regard
ing Louisville. In fact, they assert that
should Louisville be thrown out on the
preteXt claimed they will not stand for
it, and that they have assurances that
Gov. Bradley will back them up in re-
sistance which they say is already fully
planned.
Democratic newspaper figures now
give Taylor plurality of nearly 1000
on the state. They show that g, tso votes
are in contest and that Goehcl has a plu-
rality of 937 on the uncontcstcd votes.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Commissioners William A. Jones Re.
views Progress Made in All
Branches of the Service.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The annual report
of the commissioner of Indian affairs. Viii.
liam A. Jones, besides reviewing the prog.
ress of affairs in all branches of the serv-
ice, urges more schools, more systematic
methods, study of individual traits and
consideration of subsequent environment
In outlining studies in the Indian schools
The entire educational system of the In.
dian office, he says is predicted upon the
final adjustment Of the anomalous Indian
reservation system. There are now 2O,52:
boys and girls in attendance on the va.
rious Indian schools out Of an enrolment
OF over $4,000, the Indian population from
which these are taken being 1S1,COO
While the population has remained sta
ttonary, there has been such a steady in
crease In the number of the Indians being
educated as to warrant the opinion that the
next quarter century will witness not a
diminution of the Indian population. but an
eXtinguishment of Indian tribes. One dis
couraging factor, however, Is disclosed by
Tie unsatisfactory results Of the past nine
years trial of coeducation of the Indians
with the whites In the public schools The
report says the results of this coeducation
are not commensurate with the eXpcndi-
ture; that the idea theoretically is an adj
mirable expedient for breaking down prctu-
dices and civliZing the Indian. but the fig
ures show 1t is not an unqualified success
The full blood, who needs such contact
most, Is rarely secured, and the ground
work, at least. Of Indian education must
be laid under the government auspices and
control
Stronger measures for forcing the at
tendance on Indian schools are urged.
There are 1852 employees in the Indian serv-
Ice, and the policy is to employ Indians in
every position to which they are adapted
by nature and education. A thorough and
exhaustive investigation of the Scminoes
IN Florida has resulted II, the discontinue

and other employees. and no school vii! be
established for them at present, their real
and fancied wrongs having embittered
them against governmental assistance.
The removal Of the PERKS school, in south
ern California, and rebuilding it In more
suitable locality will be recommended to
congress.
Concerning the Indian territory, the re-
port severely arraigns nepotism, lack of
management. demora,ized conditions and
a deporable state of affairs generally In

from the commanding officer of the

tinucd their firing upon the fort aud the

The telegram from The county Judge
states that the negro soldiers in the fort
there deploycd in Il ravinc on the edge
of the town and fired into and over the
town for something like IA hours,
shooting into number of houses,
wounding one man and frightening the
women and children so badly that
number of them had fled to the sur
rounding ranches for safety, that the
attack was entirely unprovollcda and that
the community was highly inccnsed
and further trouble was looked for at
once.
Upon receipt of these kilograms Gov.
Sayers ordered Adjt. Gen. Scurry to the
scene of action, and he left Tuesday
night for his destination. The govern
or also wired to Washington to have a
full investigation Of the matter and to
