and Quivering all over and with clinched
band. and spoke out and said when he left
home he decided he would be q gentleman q
and give no possible ofense to anyone and In
turn he would not take any insult from any,
one. He had treated Mr.. Patterson as q
gentleman and friend, but he had gone toe
lar and he would allow no man to insult him
without hitting him in the mouth.
Mr.. Gary apologized with feeling and al
most tears for having fought before ladies'
and expressed his deep regret at the incident

IN LINE With OUR POLICY.
United States will Agree to Anglo
German PropOsaI.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The state de.
partment here has not yet been adj
vised officially of the terms Of the alli-
ance reported from London to have
been reached between Germany and
England to maintain the territorial In
tegrity Of China and keep its ports
open. While the move gives general
satisfaction here, officials say 1t prob
ably is a misnomer to call 1t an alli-
ance. What probably has happened,
they say, has been a reaffirmation of
the principles already agreed upon not
only between England and Germany.
but between all the great powers inter-
ested In China. Again, officials point
out that Secretary Hay, on July 3, de-
filming the position of the United States,
declared 1t ito be its policy, among
other things, to preserve Chinese terri
torial and administrative integrity,
protect all rights guaranteed the
friendly powers by treaty and interna-
tional law, and safeguard for the world
the principle of equal, impartial trade
with all parts of the Chinese empire.
The records show hat while all the
great powers accepted the principle of
this guarantee of territorial integrity
their expressions on the point of COM
mercial freedom were not quite as X
plicit as in the case Of territorial In
tegrity, and it appears from a study of
the British-G German agreement, above
referred to, that particular care has
now been taken to clear up any doubt
on this point. Probably Germany was
the first to engage with England on
this point because of her anxiety to
preserve for German trade the impor-
tant she has built up on the
Yang Use river, which might fall to
England In case of a division. The spe-
cial reference made in the agreement
to river bears out this infer
ence. The United States will promptly
adhere to h principles contained in
this agreement, az 1T is directly in the
line of our aspirations. If Russia can
be brought to accept its terms as bind
ing upon herself there can be no doubt,
according to official views, that a SUBJ
stantial movement has been achieved
toward the final settlement Of the Chi
rese troubles.

SENATOR HANNA'S ADDRESS.
IL Was Devoted to Prosperity and
Labor Questions.

Sioux Falls. S. d., Oct. Ex-senator
Hanna was cheered vigorously as he
arose to address the meeting. Turn
at you," demanded one importunate
who seemed disappointed thai the dol
lar marks didn't appear on the front
OF his costume and was evidently hope
full that a rear view would expose
them. The crowd laughed and the sem
ator accommodatingly turned around,
amid ~redoubled laughter. Then he
faced his audience and coolly looked 1t
over preparatory to speaking. He was
clad in a plain dark business suit, sack
cut coat, the trousers neatly creased.
Smoothly shaven and With immaculate
linen, the sprinkttng Of hair decidedly
gray, the senator would nave required
little change to make a very good imi-
tation OF. a bishop.

we're not: go on: that's what we're
here for."O The fact is that Mr.. Bry-
an has kept our stump speakers busy
keeping up with his procession of para
mount issues. When the Kansas City
convention got together he sent word
that he could not accept its nomina-
ton unless the question of free coinage
was made an issue just as 1t had been
four years before, by the repetition OF
the same plank. Well, a good many Of
them didn't like that. but when they
talked 1t all over they found that there
was no other man in sight whom 1t
would do to nominate-nobody else the
cranks could all unite on. So they
gave him that issue in his platform.
But when he found in a short time aft
er the campaign had opened that the
neople were satisfied better h a ever
with the settlement they had made
of hat question four years earlier, he
concluded he must have a new issue,
and he o up the question Of expan-
sion. When he found that here again

berisin Doing Good Work.
Chamberlain, 8. d., Oct. 23.--Superin-
tendent Finn Of the government In
dian school here has applications on
file for the admission of pupils this
year which he has had to refuse for
lack Of room. He states that IL ne had
room for the children he would have
$50 pupils In a little time.
The plan of the school work Is TO
give the child as much Industrial train
Ing as possible. 1t is not the aim TO
teach the higher branches and give a
superficial knowledge OF the arts and
sciences at a sacrifice of the common
branches and a due respect to the dig
nifty OF labor. Each pupil attends
school a half day and works a half
day. The girls are instructed In dress
making. cutting and fitting. cooking.
washing and ironing clothes and gen
eral housework. The boys are taught
carpentry. gardening. how TO raise and
care for stock, and general work on
farm.
on the 9Th of February, 1900, a brass
band was organized at the school. The
band has made excellent progress n
der the leadership OF Augustus Bren-
niger. an indian who Is a graduate OF
Haskell institute. The band now on-
sists OF eighteen member and will be
this year to twenty-four.
During the short time the band has
been In existence II has played In pub
lie several times and has earned $86,
which is uDed In keeping UP the run
ming expenses OF the band and fur
nishing the boys with a little spending
money. The school has a guitar and
mandolin club composed of girls, and
several Of the girls receive instruction
on the piano. 1t is not the aim Of the
management to make music a hobby,
but the children like music and It is
an excellent thing to occupy their spare
time.
