not naturally disposed to credit the

They want to know if American good

manner American hate and deviltry are
exploited. Such Of the Filipinos as the

AS THE N~icaraguans, like most other
foreigners, except the British, and they
not sincerely, don't like the United
States, and don't have any special
reason TO do so, they show little or no
special respect for the Americans there
and treat them as they do other ohjec-
tionaole people. The consequence Is
that a Q. S. vessel has been ordered TO
Bluefelds, for g "moraI effect" The
assumption by this country OF the right
70 interfere with the States ofCentFal and
South America is naturally resented by
the people and the governments OF

New Fraud Scheme.

Two or three weeks ago a well
dressed young man came to this
Office for a small bill of printing.
1t was a contract much like a note
in shape, in which the owners OF
accounts and notes agree to pay
the Southwestern Collecting Bu-
reau, of Kansas City," ten cents
on each claim filed with it for COL
lectiDg and so much commission
beside. The job was printed at
once, the fellow staying to see the
proof and getting six or eight
copies with which to continue his
work among the business men of
the city. The remainder of the
job is still here and the young
man is somewhere else, and vigor-
Gus enquiries at Kansas City fail
to develop either the company or
any one of the long string of of.
fcers. This is an entirely new
thing, she kernal of the thing be-
ing the ten cents given with each
account turned over for collection
and that closes the deal. Such
an idea is bound to find many
others to work it and the mer-
chants and business men who have
claims to collect would do well to
give them over to attorneys or
other well known people and risk
nothing on any foreign concern
until very good evidence is furn-
ished of the stability of the oon-
Germ and its agents. The loss of
his Office is a bagatelle, but We
can readily see that a great many
D psople could be feeced of consid-
erable sums by such plan and We
would advise that a sharp lookout
De kept for just this kind of fraud
% be proposed to them.-Phoenix.

Chief Burlington says the prin-

the cooperation of the council and
it is his desire not TO let up until

whole affair. s13, $50 in uncancell-
ed certificates are known to have
been stolen out of the auditors Of

celled certificates are missing; and
besides that s4 ,03S are fraudulent
ly registered on the auditors reg
lister. So the investigation is on
and the executive and legislative
departments will begin at once to
unearth the steal, which will de-
velop, no doubt, into something

TAHLEQUAH, Dec Is.
Chief Burlington is going to the
bottom of the steal in the auditors
Office, as he announced few days
ago. A special message was sent
to the senate yesterday evening
and referred to special commit,
tee composed of Connell Rogers,
7. ]. Monroe and Z. B. Wright,
and the committee will make Its
plans for councils action and SUBJ
NIT this morning. The following
is the chiefs special message on
the subject:
To the national council in extra
session:
According to a resolution passed
by your honorable bodies during
the regular session of the council
just closed, there exist certain ir-
regularitles in the auditors office.
1t is especially important and nec-
essary that thorough investiga-
tion of the matter be made, imme-
diaIely. l recommend that you
proceed by joint cOmmitte, or
otherwise as you deem best, at
the very earliest practicable mo-
ment possible, to examine the af-
fairs of said Office and report the
facts as found, that | may be en-
sbled to act intelligently in the
matter and know what course to
pursue in order that justice may
be done. Respectfully,
TN. BURLINGTON, Prin. Chief.
The better way for the council
to do would be to ask the depart
ment of justice of the United
or the proper officials, to
have a special session of the United
States grand jury empaneled and
let them make full and complete
investigation of all the stealing
and Irregularities connected with
the affair. 1t remains to be seen
what council will do in the case
