CARE OF THE INDIANS.
Commissioners Jones' Report-NO Ex.
 tinction of tho Red Men.

1 ttncttOn of tho Red Men.
 ! Washington, Nov. 1.-The total ex-
 penditure by the government on ac-
 count of the Indian service from March
 4, 1879, up to and including July 30, 1900.
 has been $36S, 1858, ,215, according to the
 annual report of Commissioner Of In-
 dian Affairs William A. Jones. The ex- penditures for the fiscal year ended last
 July amounted to $1o,175,1O7. Of this
 amount at least $3,330,OO0 was devoted to the cause of Indian education. Speak,
 ing of the ration question the commis-
 sioner says: "If the Indians claim for
 full ration as right Is conceded the commissioner predicts that the time when they will be self-suppcrting lies in the very distant future, if it comes at all
 There is now in the treasury to the credit Of Indian tribes $33,317 955.09, drawing interest at the rate of and 5 per cent, the annual interest amount ing to $1, GAG, ,485 96. Besides this several of the tribes have large incomes from leasing and other sources. It is a safe prediction that so long as these funds exist they will be the prey of designing people,"
 There are 250 Indian schools of all kinds conducted by the government, and an increase of 1,412 pupils in enroll- ment and 1,142 in average attendance shown over the previous year. About 5000 of the 340O0 eligible school children are unprovided for. Compulsory educa- tion of the Indian children is strongly endorsed and congress is urged to au- thorize the commissioner to place every one of school age in some school, the e. lection of the school to be left largely to educated Indian parents.
 The report controverts the commonly accepted theory that by constant com fact with the whites the extinction of the Indian is only a matter of time. It says it can be stated with great deal of that the Indian population of the United States has been very It. tie diminished from the days of Column bus, Coronado, Raleigh, Captain John Smith and other early explorers.
 The first reliable Indian census was in 1870, and certainly since then the In- dian population has been nearly station- ary, what decrease there is being attrib- utable to Indians becoming citizens.
 Reviewing Indian territory affairs the report says there are 50,OOO children of white parents there who should have schools and that thousands of these chill dren thus deprived of education are growing up in vice and ignorance, al- ready feeding the United States jails at Muscogee and other points with youthful criminals. The cost of educa- lion will not be excessive compared with results. School benefits also should be extended to the 4,25O Choctaw freed men. Government control of the schools in the Chickasaw nation is advocated,

New York, Nov. 11.--As a result of the challenge issued Saturday by James J. Jefferies offering to fight Bob Fitz- simmons Gus Ruhlin or Tom Sharkey
 and a telegram from Fitzsimmons de- clining a match on account of engage ments lasting until May next, Jeffries

 "If Fitzsimmons does not come to terms by Wednesday, I shall arrange to meet Ruhlin or Shalkey on terms to be agreed upon. It is my intention to fight at least once a year.

PLIGHT OF AL1SKA INDIANS.
Woman Just Returned Reports Hum
 dretis of Them tarving.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov 1.-Mrs. James Smith, just returned from Cook Inlet, Alaska, says that fully half of the thou sand Indians in that section, compris- ing five tribes, are slowly dying of star yation. The influx of whites has re- suited in the killing off of much game,
 with the result that the Indians are de- prived of flesh for food and furs for clothing They dried salmon last sum-
 mer, but not enough to last through the season. and winter from four hundred
 to six hundred of them without enough
 food to last until December. Mrs.
 Smith, who is fealthy miners wife,
 divided her stock of provisions with the
 destitute Indians and now appeals for further aid. Most of these Indians be- long to the Russian church, but it is powerless to help them Unless pro- visions shall be sent by steamer at once, she says, hundreds will surely die. While living at Gray's Harbor eight years ago Mrs. Smith-then Mrs. Mar tha Whfte-swam into the surf and rescued three shipwrecked sailors from drowning, for which congress voted her a medal.

] Gales Ferry, Conn.,, Nov. 11-An un- known man was shot and instantly killed last night while rifling the money drawer at the station of the Norwich and Worcester railroad The station master, George Brooks, had locked up the station for the night and was on his way home about 10 o'clock, when he mo- ticed skunk near the roadside and
 went into the house of an acquaintance
 to borrow a gun.
 After he secured the gun he retraced his steps toward the railroad station in search of the skunk and discovered that
 the station had been broken into in his absence. Entering, he found man standing in front of the open money drawer. Hold up your hands!" shout ed the station agent as he leVelled the gun, but the man refused with an em- phatic oath and threatened, according to the station agents story, to shoot in his turn. The station agent then fired, the charge entering the breast of the burglar and causing instant death
 A screw driver, chisel knife and a cheap gold filled watch were found in the mans pockets, but there was noth- ing to establish his identity and he is unknown in this neighborhood, though several citizens say they have seen him about here recently. The body is being kept by the authorities in the railroad station for the present On one arm three anchors and a cross are tattoed, and there is a fresh scar on the other arm and an old one on one shoulder. The man was apparently fifty years old It is surmised that he may have been the author of the recent break in the Groton railroad station.

 mer, have been tracing the antecedents of Mary H. Tompkins, who figured in divorce sases as 0 witness and is now under arrest. The authorities say the
 woman comes of respectable percentage.
 Her mother is said to be a woman of excellent character, and it is on account of the mother and sister, who is em- ployed in a responsible position in one of the large dry goods stores of the city, that the police have decided to let the woman's real identity remain in the dark She will be allowed to figure in the case as Mary Tompkins, the name under which she accepted employment from MT. Zeimer. It has been learned by the police that Miss Tompkins was at one time in the employ of a private detective agency.
 Another important development in the case is the Identification of Frank Will son. who usually acted as the man CO., respondent as a convicted counterfeiter. Detective Drummond of the United States secret service thought he recog- nzed in the description of Wilson a man whom the secret service had con vieted of counterfeiting. He notified the district attorneys office of his sus- picions, and was asked to go to the Tombs to see if he could identify Will son. He went to the Tombs and picked Wilson out of a crowd of twenty other prisoners as man who had been ar rested in Philadelphia and Chicago for counterfeiting. Wilson was convicted in Chicago, Drummond said, and serv- cd tprI11 n Tricnp
