CREEK COUNCIL.
Convened Yesterday at the
Capital 0kmulgee.

The Creek national council met
at 0kmulgee yesterday. For over
half a century the Creek national
legislature has met there, but in
all that time there has been no
session that awakened the interest
Of the Creek people in particular,
and the white people in general as
this session will do. or course,
tho all.absorbing topic Of conver-
salion there now is, "What will
they do with the treaty7"
Judge Thomas, Of the Northern
District, is holding that the Curtis
law and all the acts of congress
affecting the allotment OF tribal
lands, or giving title to town lots
are unconstitutional and void in
the absence Of a treaty between the
Creek nation and the congress Of
the United Ststes. The last Creek
council appointed representatives
to negotiate treaty with congress
providing for alloiing the lands Of
the tribe in severalty and giving
the membere OF the tribe a fee
simple to 100 acresthat they could
sell, \out restrictions were placed
on disposing Of part Of their hold.

A County i'm Mississippi Honeycombed
 With the Disease.

Jackson, Miss, March 7.-An official report made to the Kinds county board of supervisors to-day reveals an ap- paliing state Of affairs. in the Jones' vile neighborhood in the southern part of the county. The community is liter ally honeycombed with smallpox of the most virulent and loathsome form and during the past six weeks nearly 100 deaths have occurred. On some days the death rate has been so large that it was impossible to secure collins and rude caskets were made from rails Whole families have been wiped out of existence, and of several large fami- lies only one or two children are left. Many of the patients are now in a critical condition, are without medical attention and dying at the rate of from three to five per day. The death rate exceeds 75 per cent. and the entire lower portion of the county IS demoralzed The board of supervisors will make an effort to check further spread of the disease and at it's morning session carte blanche was given to the physicians to purchase supplies and medicines.

 and Botitls Passtd.

Boston, March 7.--After debate cov- ering practically two sessions, the house, this afternoon, passed to be engrossed the bill amending the charter of the Boston, Cape Cod & New York com pany permitting the company to issue $120O0, 900 in stocks and bonds upon the completion of the canal, no matter what might be the cost of construction.

PEACE MEETING BROKEN UP. Edinburgh Students Rum Things-One
 Man Severely Hurt.

Edinburgh, March "A "stop the war meeting, admission to which was regulated by ticket was held here this evening. Long before the hour fixed for the meeting university students se- cured possession of the hall. It is al- legged that several hundred gained en- trance by counterfeit tickets and the audience was so unruly that the doors were barricaded inside and outside. James Kier Hardie, chairman of the independent labor party and editor of the Labor Leader endeavored to speak, but all to no purpose. Finally he announced that the principal speaker, Mir Cronwright t-Schreiner, was outside. The meeting was thereupon abandoned by the promoters and a rush was made for the platform. The police used their batons and free fight ensued. Nu- merous arrests were made. A gentle man whose identity has not been es- tablislled was severely handled outside the hall by the crowd, under the im- pression that he was MT. Schreiner. He tainted, fell and was trampled upon. He was rescued insensible by the po- lice. The students finished the anti peace demonstration by parading through the principal streets.

STEYN'S PROPHESJ-.
CapitulatiOn of Pretoria Will be Pre-
 ceded by Astonishing Events.

London, March 8.-A. G. Hales, the correspondent of the Daily News, who was captured by the Boers February and released few days ago at Bloem- fontein, telegraphing from Sterks- troom Tuesday says: While l was a prisoner at Bloemfontein I had an in teresting interview with President Steyn. He said the burghers were de- termined to fight to the last man and that the struggle in the Free State would be child's play with what would follow in the Transvaal. President Steyn predicted that the equalization of Pretoria would be preceded by events which would astonish Europe. He ap- pointed a deputy president to remain at Bloemfontein during his absence at Pretoria in the interests of the Free State"
 A correspondent of the Morning Post at Osfontein telegraphing Tuesday, March G. says: ''The agitation by the peace party in England and the hope that the conservative government may be defeated are neutralizing the effect of the British victories because they encourage the Boers to persist in the struggle"

Chtcauo,- Labor Troubles,

Chicago, March 7-Apparently all hope of settlement in the near future of the differences existing between the union affiliated with the building trades council and the contractors were dissipated to-day when the building contractors council made a declaration that no opportunity to arbitrate will be afforded by that body, no matter what pressure may be brought to bear by the industrial commission soon to meet here. We have locked no one out, and are willing to employ men regardless of their affiliations continues the off, cial statements, but we refuse to be dic- tated to by the building trades coun- cil.' It is now believed by many lead- CTS on both sides that the combination of strike and lockout in Chicago will develop into simply test of endurance.

RAISING SIEGE OF LADTSMIIIf.
Details of the Bocr Retrent-Elunds-

Boer Camp Biggersberg, Saturday
 March 3.-The Federals have falIer
 back on the Biggersberg chain, crossing Natal south of Dundee The retreat from Ladysmith was due to the mis- take of certain commandant, whc ordered his men to retire from the key of the position without any reason for the move. On the receipt of the bad news from the Modder River on We'd nesday, it was resolved to send the wagons back to Biggersberg, and soon long strings of ox-wagons lined the roads. More than a thousand wagons took the westerly route to the laager southwest of Ladysmth. Another convoy was sent to the foot of the Drakensberg. A large number of tents captured from the British at Dundee doned. The chief difficulty was in dis mounting Long Tom"
 The Boers were independent of the railway, as is shown by the fact that not one of their 1000 wagons went by rail- All travelled by road, together with the field batteries. Only the heavy guns, the infantry and wounded went by rail- When the last train had left Elanslaagte, a workmen's train follow ed, blowing up every bridge and cul- vert between Ladysmith and Glencoe, and when this had been done, setting fire to the Elandslaagte collieries. Thus the British, with NataPs southern-most collieries in their hands, are unable to draw supplies therefrom. Under cover of the night and at the coilieries send ing lurid flames to heaven, the bullock wagons wound over the hills, making roads where none before existed, and the four months siege of Ladysmith was raised It is impossible as yet to give the burgher casualties, owing to the disorganization of the ambulance and the circumstances of the retreat

 trnl New England Road.

trnl New Enginnd Road. Hartford, March 7.-Passenger train No. on the Central New England rail- road, which is due in this city at 8 a., m. ran into an open switch just west of the freight station, but apart from injuries to Conductor William Cowles and damage to the locomotive little harm resulted. When Engineer George Austin realized that he was going through the switch he reversed the lever put on the air brakes and did everything possible to stop the train, but nevertheless freight cars on the siding were rammed and the pilot of the locomotive was completely demolished. The train was made up of three cars and the engine. The passenger cars were filled and all the passengers re- ceived a severe shaking up. but that was the extent of their injuries. Con- ductor Cowles was in the baggage car at the time. He was injured consider ably about the head, but continued his duties throughout the day. Engineer Austin had a narrow escape from a landslide in Norfolk last week. How the switch came to be openais matter that will be investigated by the railway officials.

INTERNiTIONAL SHIP-BUILDING. Statistics Showing English Predomi-

 nance-Germany Second, U. s. Third. Washington, March 7.-The bureau of foreign commerce has published in- teresting statistics as to international ship p-building forwarded by Vice Con- sul Murphy at Bremen. The German authorities from which he quotes direct special attention to the enormous pre- dominance of the English in the ship building works, showing that the Eng fish ship-builders in 1899 produced ton mage exclusive of war vessels only one- fifth less than the entire steam fleet of Germany. Adding war vessels aggre- gating 16S,000 tons the total output of the British shipyards was 15S4,0OO tons. Although Germany occupies first place aftre England in ship building she is nevertheless England's best cus- toner, and last year took 63,000 tons from England. Altogether there was a total production throughout the world outside of England of S81,000 tons of shipping For several years Germany has been at the head of the list after Great Britain, being excelled only in 1898 by the United States owing to the latter's activity in building war ves- sells. Last year Germany turned out 252, 900 tons as compared with 233,000 tons for the United States. It is notice able that 10000 tons of German produc- ton was in war vessels, while the Unit ed States output of war vessels was only 5000 tons.

 BOER PRISONERS.
Kept There Untu the End of tho War Island Placed In Cable COmmunf fcn- ton With Cape Town-NO Exchange to be Made nt Present.

London, March 1.-The military au- thoritics have decided that General Cronje and the other Boer prisoners shall be sent immediately to the island of St. Helena, the rocky islet in the South Atlantic, 1000 miles from the African coast, on which Napoleon was imprisoned after Waterloo and where he died May 5, 1921. The prisoners are to remain there until the end of the war. Lord Roberts has chosen Lord Bathurst, colonel of a militia regiment at the front, to command the escort to St. Helena, which was last month placed in cable communication with Cape Town, and London. It is also as- serted that the cabinet has resolved neither to propose nor to entertain pro- posals at the present juncture for an exchange of prisoners.
