imam American Warship.

Toronto. Ont, March 2-The Globe, the
government organ. editoriauy says today
regarding the burial of Lord Herscheu:
1t would he a graceful thing on the part
of the government of the United States 10
send the body to England in an American

lustrate the kinship ofthe race than a war
ship flying the stars and stripes entering
Portsmouth with the flag at half mast

HOW CIVILIZATION WORKS
Among the Red Men at Major Wood
sons Agency

FL Reno. o. T., March 2-(Special) y
The Indian payment is still going on.
and the stores are filed with Uncle Sans
wards, who are buying everything from a
stick of candy. for the papoose TO a cabi-
net organ or a gold watch and chain. II
is not an uncommon thing to see an In
dian going home with a fine bedroom
suite or a sewing machine In his wagon.
The Indians have great love for their
children, and Will deprive themselves of
the necessaries of life in order that the
children may have what they want. An
old Cheyenne squaw. probably % years
old, took her little great-grest-grandson
into a store this morning and bought him
d new suit of clothes. From there she
took him TO grocery stone, where she
bought him candy and nuts enough to do
a white child of the same age a week.
1t is plain to be seen that Major Wood
sons plan for civilizing the Indian Is the
best, after all In old times the Indians
would take their interest money and go
on a visit TO the Comanches or kiowas
or some other distant tribe. where they
would have horse-racing and gambling
until the money was all gone. Then they
would return 10 their agency TO starve
in camp or hang around Fl Reno, Fort
Reno or the agency, picking up whatever
they could find 10 eat. The camps are
gone, never more TO return 10 the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe agency. The Indians
are all on their allotments and are doing
well. There is no more begging IN town
or al the fort The dances are few and
far between. Il is a wen-knOwn fact that
with the lease money the Indians are re-
ceiving and the semi-annual interest
money. a number Of them have fixed up
their houses and allotments in fine style.
The drOnes have been all culed out. and II
Major WoodsOn is allowed TO remain as
agent two years longer. the Indians Will
be N as good fix financially as a great
many Of their white neighbors. The old
Indians will never do any good for them
scelves, nor IS II expected n them. but
they are still handy To have in the cotton
fields during the wheat harvest and at
corn picking time. They are willing 20
work 10 gather crop. but are poor hands
10 plant it.

CAPTAIN SYMONDS DID RIGHT
In Afording Asylum to the ReyOiu-
ZIONIST Reyes

Washington, March 1.-The course pur-
sued by the commander of the gunboat
Marietta at Blpuefields in giving asylum
to General Reyes, the leader of the de-
funct rebellion, is fully approved here II
is said that Captain Symonds probably
saved much bloodshed and rioting and in
cidentally the destruction of American
property, by offering this refuge and thus
terminating the active resistance of the
rebels. 1t is probable that the aMrietta
will convey Reyes to a place of safety in
some other country unless he can make
terms with the government of Nicaragua.
Washington, March 2.-Mr. Clancey,,
UNITED States consular agent at Blue
fields, has informed the department Of
state that ito prevent unnecessary blood
shed revolutionists under command of
Reyes surrendered TO Nicaraguan General

tains Symonds and Burr Lives of eGn-
eral Reyes and followers guaranteen: for

Washington, March 3.-Representa:ive
Bailey Of Texas announced today that he
would not be a candidate for the Demo-
cratic leadership in the next congress. He
stated to an Associated Press reporter that
his decision was irrevocable, although his

claring that General Wheeler and the

ment of his attitude
Il want it distinctly understood that J
am ont actuated by any feeling Of rikue
or personal disappointment, but l am pro
ceeding purely upon the idea that IS
large number Of Democrats are unwilling

plain provision of the constitu ton, they
ought not 10 be made responsible for the

ton again and vii lraise it is often as ii
presents itself, but when 1 raise l. from
my place in the ranks of the party must
take the responsibility and others Will rot
be compelled to share the responsibility
with me. 1 believe that the Democrats
who voted to allow these military ap-
pontees of the president TO retain their
seats in congress greatly mistake the SEN
timents Of their Democratic Constituents.
1t is utterly impossible for me 10 believe
that any man in this country is more
popular with the Democratic masses tran
is the constitution, a reverence fo~ which

SHOW FOR THE CAMP MEN
Who Would Have Gone Where Glory
Maifed Than Ii TheY Gould


Atlanta, Ga, March 2.-Captain Wilson
L Davenny of Chicago, commissary on
the staff of Brigadier General John H.
Wiley, who is proceeding to Washington
under orders for muster out, explained
to a representative of the Associated Press
the objects Of the new society, The Ser
vice Men of the Spanish War" Captain
Davenny says the idea is almost similar
to that Of the Spanish-American War Vet
Grams association, to organize which a
convention has been called, and that the
service association has been in existence
since last November, and the organization
has been incorporated under the laws OF
Kentucky and a constitution formulated
and adopted. Captain Davenny said:
The parent camp, Canm Henry Clay, at
Lexington, KY, has been organized. The
plan provides for local and state camps
and a national camp. to be constituted
by representatives elected annually in the
local camps. Camp Henry Clay IS the
supreme body only until the first assem-
blage of the representatives to the nation
al encampment. Though the charter list
bears only the names of officers, the con-
stitution of the organization provides that
every officer-army or navy-commisSioned
between the date of the declaration Of
war and the signing of the treaty of peace
al Paris, and every enlisted man honor
ably mustered out Of the service is eligible
to membership Of the organization. Camps
of the service men are being organized
in several of the states and the volume of
correspondence which has already claimed
the attention of the adiutaut would make
it appear that its plans and purposes ap-
peal to those who may not fairly claim to
be veterans. and yet who may have been
as bravely ready in the camp as il called
to the firing line on the field of battle"

Berlin, March "A nigh German author

the correspondent here. of the Associated

Germany to instruct the protection of

recent disturbances, and Germany feels
that German subjects are safe under the
protection OF Americans This implies of
course, a high compliment to the United
States; but it is only in consonance With
several previous declarations made by
Baron vo nBuelow, the German minister
Of foreign affairs. Regarding Samoa, the
same high German authority said Ger
