A Cherokee Anti-White Marriage Club.
A special to the Inter Ocean from Wich-
ita. Kan. says: Thirteen young Chero-
kee Indians have organized club, whose
members are pledged. under penalty of
death, not to marry any female outside
of the Cherokee race. Women will also
be admitted and they, too, must swear
never to marry anyone except members
of the tribe. This society was organized
last week and is growing rapidly. 1t has
been named the Anti-American Marrying
club. Following are the leading features
of the constitution:
1.-The purpose Of this club shall be to in
still into the hearts of Cherokee boys and
girls that they shall not marry into the
white race, nor any other than member
of their own tribe The Cherokee race is
rapidly becoming extinct, and this has
been caused by intermarriage with other
classes of people. If this is kept up much
longer there will be no more Cherokees.
Out of once vast and powerful race we
stand to-day only a few in comparison.
After one affixes his or her name to
these resolutions and then marries out
side of the race he shall suffer the pen
atty of death. He shall be shot in the
dark by some member of this club, whose
name none of the others will Know. in
accordance with an arrangement not
written in these resolutions, but known to
the organizers
1T shall be the duty of every unmar-
ried member to marry as soon as he or
she has reached the proper age, and has
a suitable opportunity. 1t shall also be
the duty of such couples to rear as many
children as possible and once more in
crease the race to where it once stood in
the history of this country.
This club shall at once engage the ser
vices of some intelligent member, pos
sessed of some powers of speech. and
send him on a trip among the other tribes
of this section, to tell them Of our plan
and ask them to organize similar clubs.
This is the only way in which the red
race can exist for the next century

The next morning she appeared at the

and frightened eyes. Her father looked
at her over the morning paper. Could it
be possible! There was an unmistaka-
Bile twinkle in the eyes under the fierce
shaggy brows.
Not word was said about the eve

at the bell. The butler brought in a neat
pacake and a note and handed them to
Mr.. McGregor. That dignified gentle
man put on his glasses and read the
note carefully. Then he took up the

dropped the note. at his daughters

with something in his voice that sound

My Dear Mr. McGregor: Last night

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE police de-
partment reported to-day that a bundle
supposed to contain human entrails had
been found in the East River at the
foot of Dover street.

ALASKAN DISPUTE.
The Whole Controversy Settled for
the Time Being.

LONDON, Oct. 12.-Sir Louis Henry
Davies, Canadian Minister of Marine
and Fisheries, informs the Associated
Press that he has given Canadas con-
sent to a temporary arrangement of the
Alaskan dispute. This has practically
settled the whole matter for the time
being, as the main features of the ar
rangement were originally suggested
by the United States.
Colonel John Hay, the American Sec
retary of State, will sign the last papers
within few days, and Reginald Tower,
British Charge d'Affaires at Washing
ton, will ratify on behalf of Great Bri-
tain.
Sir Louis Davies said this evening
"The terms agreed upon are simply a
line drawn across Chilkat Pass, de-
Eliminated by the river and mountain
top. 1t has absolutely no significance
except that we hope thereby to avert
local friction. OF course an arrival at
even a temporary agreement is salts
factory. So far as the original conten-
tion is concerned, we are just as misty
as ever. l see no signs ofsreaching an
immediate settlement
Canada relinquishes no claim by her
assent to this temporary arrangement
and she has not the slightest intention
of allowing her original contention to
lapse to obscurity.
1t is not our purpose to permit this
new understanding to extend a day
longer than is necessary. The fact that
I am returning to Canada must not be
taken to indicate that settlement will
be reached by the date of my leaving
England. My return is necessitated by
matters altogether outside the Alaskan
affair.
Il am, however working in conjunc-
tion with the Colonial Office upon the
case. 1t will not come before the Joint
High Commission unless a diplomatic
settlement is previously attained

ances, the Beers are preparing for a
simultaneous invasion at five separate
points, Laing's Mex, Kimberly, Vry-
burg, Mafeking and Lobastsi. There
fore it is almost impossible to guess the
plan of campaign.

Her majesty's Government has re-
ceived with great regret the peremptory

tered Natal by way of Van Reenaans

room for doubt that acts of war have
already been committed and that the
campaign has begun.
News of an invasion on the northern
border is also generally accepted as re-
liable. 1t seems improbable, there
fore. that a clash between the forces
of Briton and Boer can long be de-
layed, if indeed, it has not occurred
already
ATTACK ON MAFEKING HOURLY
EXPECTED.
KIMBERLY, Oct. 12-The authori-
ties of Mafekfng are hourly expecting
an attack, in which event the wires be-
tween Mafeking and Kimberly will be
cut and information entirely shut off.
The latest information regarding the
number of Burghers assembled along
the Kimberly border is that it does not
exceed $500.
The Beers have only four field guns.
A successful attack upon Kimberly is
therefore considered impossible.
