ONLY AMERICANS HOLD LAND
Governor Lcnry stops Foreigners
Grabbing Everything in Sight
on Island of Guam.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.--The Bulletin
today publishes direct advices, the first that
have been received here for months from
the island OF Guam. The advices arrived
here on the China and will be forwarded
to Washington as part OF report prepared
by the officers of the United States steamer
Brutus.
The foreign traders who controlled the
business of Guam seem to have vanished and
the place has suddenly opened fine field
for limited number of merchants. There
was no trouble at the island when the latter
left, but the natives are likely to cause
some anxiety If the Spanish agitators are
not taken in hand.
Governor Leary, who ranks as lieutenant
in the navy, found matters in very un-
satisfactory condition when he arrived last
August The Spanards had been telling
the natives all manner of tales about the
Americans and led some of the savages TO
believe that the soldiers would make slaves
of them. A revolt was ripe and had not
the governor caused the arrest OF several
trouble provokers an incipient rebellion
might have been started.
The governor and men are at Agana, the
capital OF Guam, and that is the only town
garrisoned. About 300 more men are needed
to insure perfect quiet as evil influences
may be used to excite the natives, who are
however, naturally docile people. Land
which .sold for as low as $40 and SIS per
acre has suddenly advanced to over S1OO.
Before the governor came foreigners were
grabbing everything in sight, knowing that
American rule would mean boom for
Agana The governor was then forced to is
! sue proclamation in which it was decreed
that none but American citizens should
hold land in the islands. Many Of the ma
tives have sworn allegiance to the govern
ment and are very respectful to the flag
Governor Learly is establishing local
|. form of government for Agana and is also
making laws to govern the outside stations

WHITE MEN HUNTING SQUAWS
All Along Borders of Choctaw Coun-
tr. Hundreds of Wife Seekers
Have Pitched Tents.

INDEPENDENCE, Kan, Nov. 2.-During
the last six weeks the matrimonial business
in the Choctaw Nation. Indian Territory, has
been at it's highest. All along the borders
of that country there have, been hundreds
of tents pitched and occupied by white men
hunting squaw wives.
For many years white man marrying a
Choctaw squaw Immediately came into pos
session OF fifty-fve acres Of choice land in
that nation and was allotted so much money
yearly by the government for each member
of his family Consequently the more chill
dren in the family the larger the amount OF
money received This rule and the fact that
the Choctaw girls are very attractive have
made them much sought after by the white
men.
A few weeks ago the Dawes commission
issued an order providing that after Novem-
ber l. 1S99 man who was not of Choctaw
blood marrying an Indian 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 the
fortunes of squaws to marry much earlier
than they had intended.
Consequently the Chictaw nation has been
filled with white men hunting wives and
since this order was made more than 6OC
white men have married squaw wives. The
great majority of the Choctaw girls are pure
white and have beautiful compilations. Mos
of them have black hair and eyes, although
a few OF them are perfect blondes. AS q
rule they are highly educated and II they
have any white blood in ttfn at all they
will not marry Indians and the white mer

FIVE MILLION LIABILITIES
Levi II. Doty, ~ Chicago Capitalist,
Seeks Relief Under National
Bankruptcy Act.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2-Labilities amounting
almost to $5,000,000 are scheduled in petit
tion filed in the United States district court
today by Levi II. Doty, a capitalist, who
seeks relief under the national bankruptcy
act. The petitioner is president of the
Northern Fuel company and the Lehigh Coal
and Coke company. His scheduled assets
aggregate over 100000, consisting pTinci-
paly of capital stock. The heavy liabilities
result from the failure in 1893 OF several
large coal companies in which Mr.. Doty was
interested, though it is stated the filing of
the petition has nothing tO do with the petit
toner's present interest in the coal concerns
mentioned above. Much OF the indebtedness
results from the responsibility which Mr..
Doty took on himself by endorsing notes for
other persons. The creditors are not secured
except by the notes which they hold.
The principal unsecured creditors to whom
he now owes large amounts are the follow

was delivered here tonight by Major Warner
Of Kansas City. The court room was filed
with representative audience that listened
attentively for two hours and half to an
able review of the political history of this
country for the last thirty-fve years.
The speaker held up with scorn the many
promises made by the democratic party and
how it had broken them in each instance
He reviewed the Mckinley tariff law and
compared its results to those of the Wilson
German delusion. Extracts from the several
democratic platforms adopted in the past
were read, showing that that party had al
ways been against expansion, which resulted
in the burial of the federal party and the
whig party, and the speaker predicted that
1t would bury the democratic party so deep
next Tuesday that it would not recover for
the next generation.
Imperialism and militarism were discussed

problem is no longer one of expansion, said
the speaker, the islands have been annexed
