STILL CHASING SWIFT BEAR.
Indians Taking Advantage of the
Absence of Regular Troops

Pine Ridge. S. D.. July 15.-No reports
have yet been received from the several
posses of cowboys and Indian police who are
chasing Swift Bear and his Sioux braves
who defied Sheriff Demming, at the point of
their Winchesters to arrest them for kill
ing big game. The three posses in the
chase expect to head off the Indians at the
crossing of the Cheyenne River. The In
dams are expected to make a fight and
serious trouble is apprehended as the re-
lations Of the Indians will resent any effort
made to kill Swift Bears men and hostili-
ties may be the result.
The Indians of both the Sioux and Chey-
enne tribes have been more or less Inn
pudent since the troops were. withdrawn
from the Northwest, and they are well
aware in the event of an uprising that the
Government would be long time getting
regulars into their territory. Volunteers
would lie of little value in pursuing hos
tile Indians in the Bad Lands.
The Pine Ridge Indian police are con-
sidered loyal, and will fire on Swift Bear S
bucks II they do not surrender, regardless
OF consequences.

AMERICAN SOCIAL ECONOMY.
An Interesting Class of Exhibits at
the Paris Exposition.


New York, July 15.-The social economy
exhibit at the Paris Exposition of 1900, 1t
is intended. shall present a picture of
American life showing the characteristic
features of the country, the people, and
the social institutions. To this end the
cooperation of the New York League for
Social Service has been solicited In COL
lecting material for the section devoted
to Movements for Improving Industrial
and Social Conditions" The exhibit that
the league is preparing will illustrate not
only the existing industrial condition of
the people in this country, but also what
is being done to relieve the hardships of
that condition. The exhibit will give an
idea OF what employers are doing TO i'm
prove the lives and homes of their work
ing stan, and public and private move
ments for the welfare OF the people.
For example there will be drawings of
improved housing, and Illustrations and
descriptions in detail of cooking schools;
there viii be photographs of public baths,
with data as to their popularity, with
glimpses of dirty and squaIid districts of
those big cities where such baths are un-
known. Then there will be artistically
prepared photographs OF beautiful parks
and Fairgrounds, and drawings OF finest
American gymnasia and open-air schools.
This collection for the exhibit, it is sug-
gested, shall be kept together after the
exposition closes and used as the nucleus
of permanent museum similar to the
"Musee Social in Paris.
Further to assist in making the social
economy exhibit from the United States
worthy of America, and show to the world
that American manufacturers are inter-
ested in the well-being of their employees,
an appeal is to be made to the pride of the
employees to cooperate with the depart
ment of social economy. The director of
the department of education and social
economy is Howard j. Rogers, and the as
sistant director is Richard Waterman. il

It was stated last night that the name of
Randall B. Webb. aspirant for the vacancy
on the bench Of the Supreme Court OF the
District caused by the retirement of JUS
tice Cox, had been submitted to President
Mckinley for consideration. An effort was
made TO confirm this report at the White
House, but without success.
As the matter now stands the names OF
a dozen or more distinguished members Of
the District bar have been submitted to
the President from which TO choose. In
the opinion OF certain members OF the local
bar who have no axes to grind and are not
themselves aspirants for judicial honors.
this large number of candidates for the po-
sition is enough to perplex and embar-
rass Mr.. Mckinley in his endeavor to ar
rive at a choice. So many candidates
for one position, it is claimed, is an un-
deniable evidence that there is no harmony
among the members OF the District bar on
the question of who shall be Justice Coxs
successor. 1t will be remembered that
very soon after Justice Cox handed his
resignation TO President Mckinley the lat
ter announced that he would appoint
District man 10 fill the vacancy. provided
Nut I4tlEutf5 VI iIt local OAR hOutu agree
upon some one. No effort to meet this
condition OF the Presidents promise has
yet been attempted. Further than this it
may be said that all efforts in this line
which could only be accomplished by OBJ
tanning the voice Of the members of the
bar on the question, have been discounte-
panced
On Friday last a proposition was made
to call a general meeting of the practi-
raFF . fsFs -
ing upon four candidates any one OF whom
II was stated would be acceptable TO the
whole bar, and to submit these TO the
President from which to select. This
proposition seemed 10 be popular with the
members of the bar and was well under
way when all of a sudden the promoters
Of the scheme decided that it was not the
best method OF arriving at the desired end
and IL was abandoned. Exactly why it
was abandoned no one seems to know.
AS a substitute for the proposed mass
meeting as the best way of obtaining the
consensus OF opinion as TO the three or
four most popular OF the many attorneys
named, It was determined that petitions
asking for the endorsement of Henry z.
Davis, Tallmadge A Lambert, Job Bar
nard, and Benjamin +. Leighton. should
be put in circulation and by this means
decide upon the popularity OF the gentle
men named
In connection with this movement It
was stated that when two hundred sigma
tures had been obtained, this would be
taken as sufficient Enforcement and the
petitions forwarded to Mr.. Mckinley. The
question has been asked What about the
opinions OF the ten or twelve hundred
other members of the bar who very proba-
