STUDYING OUR INDIANS
A Prominent japanese Making a
Personal Investigation.
His Purpose Is to Enquire Into the
Methods of Governing the Redskins
So That the Aborigines of His own
Country May Be Improve6--Some-
thing About FOrmosa's People.

japanese official of great prominence,
Yeizo lshidzuka, Counselor Gee. al OF
Formosa, and a legal adviser of its cabi-
net, Lss arrived in the city. He is study
ing the United States method of govern
ing the numerous Indian tribes in the
West where he has travelled tInsiVely,
and their mental and physical condition.
in order that similar measures can be ap-
piled 10 the aborigines of his COUNTRY for
the improvement Of their moral state
Mr.. Ishidzuka viii also journey 10 In liza
Africa, and other countries in the quest
of more knowledge relating 10 the sub
ject. He is short in stature. he dres ses
elegantly, and has an attendant. Ike tne
people of his race, he is extremely polite
and courteous.
Mr. Ishidzuka believes that the Unitel
States manner of ruling the Indians is
salutary. They are strong and in per-
feet health" he said, and if their mental
powers were developed they would make
excellent citizens. Some of them are in
telligent, / have been told and are mem
bers of the professions, which TO me is in
dicative of the future advancement of the
race. People of such determination, for
titude, and bravery cannot become ext net
as these intrinsic qualities will sus ain
and support them. / also noticed that, as
a race, they are industrious and honest
The villages of the Indians are clean; there
were schools in abundance, and farms
The children appeared to be happy, and
contented and were dressed in suitable
clothing: the women are virtuGus aid do
mestic using articles of civilization
needles, scissors sewing machines. etc.
The Indian is capable of performing
many duties. Their blankets are beauu-
ful and their dura bleness is astonishing
The cloth is impervious and can be i'm
provised into gum coat. These various
qualities of the blanket show patience and
oexterity which are evidences of useful
ness. and without them the race would be
doomed. The Indians l noticed no longer
mutilate their bodies, a practice OF barba-
rians, and its discontinuance denotes the
advent of civilization among them.
Such a race Will never be annihilated;
only miscegenation can affect il. The alb
origines Of Formosa are not comparable
with the Indians. They have no farms,
schools, or churches. Many of them are
drunkards their children are frequently
illegitimate; they believe in idoiatry; they
allow the hair to grow on all parts of the
body. and their nails are allowed to grow
till they are long; tattooing in various col
ors is considered a form of beauty and in
dulged in by them. They often die from
excessive eating; they live in strange huts
which prevents the entrance OF light, yet
not Of rain. The task of civiliZing them
is almost an utter impossibility. My gov
ernment however, Will undertake it, sue
cessfully, / hope

pocketbook of Miss Helen E. Casey, a guest Of
the Hotel yehdome, this morning, caused the
arrest by Detectives Horne and Weldon of John
Langhorn, colored waiter, who is charged with

The executive council of the American
Federation of Labor met this morning

stolen Chairs Recovered.

Four handsomely upholstered heavy gilded
chairs valued at s75 each, were recovered last
night by Detective Helan, and are now held at
Police Headquarters to be used as evidence against
a colored woman for whom the police are search
ing, and who is alleged to have stolen them. The
chairs are the property of J. " N. Huyck, real
estate dealer, and were stolen nearly year ago,

The chairs were missed only recently, and when
reported were at searched for with the result
that they were found in the gliding shop OF a
well-known artist 1t is said that the chairs have
passed through several hands, having been sold
and resold, and it is probable that some interest

i,ing Of persons who handled them in good faith.
