Indian Repartee.

An Indian agent who was militia
colonel desired to impress the Indians
with the magnitude Of his dignity. He
dressed himself in full uniform, with
his sword by his side, and rising in the
council told them that one reason why
the Great Father had so much trouble
with his red children was that he had
sent civilians to them. You are war
riors," he said. "and when the Great
Father saw me he said: 4 will send
this man, who is II great warrior. to my
red children, who are warriors, and
they will hear his wOrds.'" An old
chief arose. and surveying the speaker
from head to foot. said calmly: "Since
l was small boy | have heard that
white men have great warriors.
have always wanted to see one. l have
looked upon one and now | am ready

Seattle, Oct. l1.-Advices from
Dawson, dated September %. state
that the sale OF the crown claims in the
Klondike country was to begin Octo'
Der 2 and last for several weeks, and
to begin aagin November 2. The gold
commissioner OF the district estimates
the number OF claims to be sold at be.
tween 5000 and 10000. Men were
at work all the latter part OF Septem-
be. ascertaining the exact number.
To do this the titles OF all the claims
in the district, about 10000. had to be
looked up. The claims are nearly all
creeks and old timers at Dawson be-
lieve that many of them are rich.
All the claims that the public will
not purchase will be thrown open for
relocation 30 days after the list is pub
lished. No one knows much about the
claims, as to whether they are rich or
not, hut it is believed that some have
thousands, and perhaps millions, hid
in them.

ARTILLERY REORGANIZATION.
Major Story Says That tho Greatest
Need IL More Men.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Accompany.
ing the report OF Major.General Brooke.
commander Of the department OF the
east, to the war department, was re.
port by Major Story, Seventh artillery
inspector. Major Story states that
the personnel of the artillery is mani.
fest!y inadequate to serve the arma'
ment already mounted. and he believes
there is such general recognition of this
fact that there will be an increase in
artillery forces ut the coming session oil
congress.
ut should be remarked in this con.
nection," he says, that the enlisted
force required for one relief to serve
the modern coast armament in this
military department is estimated at
5000 men. On the 18th Of last Juno
the enlisted strength of the heavy bat
teries i'll the department amounted to
only 1888 men, and of these quite a
number of artillery soldiers are requir'
ed by the exigencies of the service to
garrison posts which are not properly
artillery stations.
at may also be stated that with the
xception of the artillery school :
Fort Monroe, Va, there is not in an
important harbor in the United States
even the minimum number OF officers
and men required by the coast artillery
regulations for the service of modern
armament fire, control and direction.
Major Story comments upon the ar.
tillery reorganization bill now pending
in congress, and says it is serious de-
feet of the measure that it does not
supply sufficient officers for staff ad.
ministlation.
"The number OF officers now absent
from their batteries" he says, lis
probably in excess OF 40 per cent, and
there is no prospect in the near future
of improvement in this respect. If the
bill passes in its present form this un'
fortunate condition will BIZ aggravated.
since officers must be withdrawn from
the batteries for staff administration.
III is, therefore. earnestly recommended
that the artillery he put upon the same
basis as infantry or cavalry in provld'
ing officers for staff work."

CONE TO SINAN Flu
Chinese Court Will Not Re.
turn to Pekin.
AFRAID OF THE ALLIES ARMIES
The First Stop Was Made at Tai Yusn.
but the Place Was Not Con-
siGlered u Safe One.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-The effort to
induce the Chinese imperial court to
return to Pekin has failed, after q
weeks persistent effort on the part of
the powers. News to that effect was
brought to the state department today
by the Chinese minister, who received
it via st. Petersburg from Viceroys
Liu Kun Yih and Chang Chih Tung.
under date OF October 4. Minister WI
received the message last night. 1t
was as follows:
"The departure of their imperial ma
jesties for Shen 81 (province) was due
to distressing conditions at Tai Yuan
Flu. There is scarcity of food sup
plies in the province OF Shan 81 OIL ac-
count of the long continued drouth and
the provincial capital (Tai YUM is al
most deserted, the trades people having
left OIL account of the distur Dances
caused and continued for months by
the Boxer rebels. who had invaded that
province with the encouragement OF
Governor Yu. Their majesties, there.
fore, were obliged to proceed to Shep
Siff1, where telegraphic communication
with Shanghai and other parts of the
empire is open and rapid communities
ton with their majesties may therefore
be carried on, thus court and official
business may he transacted more expe.
ditiously by their presence in Shen 81
rather than in Shan 81.
"The reasons for the temporary post
ponement OF their majesties' retarn to
Pekin are the presence of the allied
forces there, on account OF which So
licitous fear is doubtless entertained,
besides danger of the outbreak of cpl
demic disease, which usually follows
after great disturbances, destruction OF
property and military operations. 1t
is hoped that the powers will be con.
siderate in their judgment in this mat.
ter.''
The important feature OF the message
is the confession that the court is re-
strained by fear Of the allied forces
from returning to Pekin. The move
ment takes the emperor and empress
dowager about 800 miles farther away
from Pekin, though, according to the
statements contained in the message by
season of the direct telegraphic com.
munication with Shanghai the court
practically will be nearer for the pur-
poses Of negotiations with the outside
world, than it was at Tai Yuan.

1t will be in condition for use on the

Chiefs of bureaus Of the war depart.
ment are estimating for expenses on
the basis of an army Of 100000 men.
Under tho present law all volunteers
and regulars in. excess of about 30. 900
men. must be discharged before July /,
1901, and Quartermaster.Ge General Lud-

transportation hcme of the volunteers,
beginning next month. 1t will be nec-
essary to recruit regiments to take the
place OF the volunteers, in case more
troops are authorized, and when they
are ready for active service they must
be transported to Manila. So Quarter
master General Ludington has asked
for considerably more money than he
needed for the present fiscal year. In
his last annual estimates he requested
an appropriation of $3S, 57S. $40. This
year the estimate will be more than
$40, 100000.
Pay of the army will be what was
