Ex-Gov. Mcconnell In Town.

Ex-Governor Mcconnell, special agent
of the Indian affairs, is in the city and
has been at Fort Lapwai, where he has
been inspecting the affairs of that place.
In conversation with TELLER represen-
tative he said:
"There is very little that / can give
out OH matters connected with the Office
at Lapwai, however have been attend
ing to general official business Of the
school and agency. find there isn't
sufficient help in the office force there to
properly look after the leasing Of the In
dian lands. Tine tenants are required to
give two bondsmen and ii is the duty of
the agent to inquire into the responsible
ity of the sureties and / will recomend
an increase of the force. There are now
34T leases out on Indian lands and es-
innate that the number will approxi-
mately be doubled before the year is out.
These lands should be visited by the
agent or trusted employee, not only be-
fore the lease is made, but at times dur
ing the year to see if the seed that has been
sown is foul or otherwise, and whether
the improvements are properly cared for.
The agent at Lapwai now has no farmer
and not even laborer OH the premises,
and he has no one whom he can send out
over the reservation to make any needed
investigation, and this is one Of the mat
tiers that will take up with the depart
ment as soon as possible. In reference
to the Fort Lapwai Indian school will
say that it has capacity Of ago pupils,
and, yet, although there are over 100
children of school age on the reserva-
ton, the average attendance last year was
only 6o, and yet this is an increase over
the year before. The Indians do not be-
lieve in the white mans education and
will not send their children to school I'M
less compelled to do so. Before they
were given their lands in severalty and
were vested with the rights of citizen
ship, the Indian police were sent out over
the reservation and brought in those the
parents had failed to send in, but under
the present status the superintendent has
no such authority and the result is the
children are growing up typical Indians, |
more degraded, if possible, than when
they lived in their primetive teepes.
II have recommended that no Indian.
who is the parent or guardian Of chill

ent at Fort Lapwai or some other school

ance during the past school year. / be-
lieve that by the adoption Of this plan no
difficulty will be experienced in filing
the school to its utmost capacity In
speaking Of the liquor traffic on the res
ervation he said:
s'The citizens Of Nez Perce, Latah and
Idaho counties owe it to themselves and
good government that they exercise
more diligence in suppressing the liquor
traffic among the Nez Perez Indians than
they have in the past. 1t is disgrace
to those counties to permit this traffic to
be carried on SO openly as it is. The Of
ficcrs alone without the assistance and
support of the people who are aware Of
this violation Of the law are almost pow
erless to put a stop to it. If this me-
farious traffic is allowed to continue 1t
will result in innocent people being MUIR
dered, because, as is we'll known, the eff
feet Of whiskey upon an Indian is to
bring out the worst traits in his charac-
ter.
The governor drifted from Indian af-
fairs to politics. He has just returned
from trip to southern Idaho and he said
that the outlook there was very promis-
ing. Speaking further he said:
II believe the republicans will carry
every county in the state, while in Boise
sporting men were offering to bet on that
result. The ticket named by the recent
convention is conceded to be winner,
every man on it being popular not only
in the community where he lives, but all
over the state As an index Of the po-
litical sentiment abroad in the land, Gov.
Mcconnell stated that while waiting for
a train at North Lapwai few days since,
he overheard a party of workmen discuss
ing the political situation, and one said,
that The was democrat and had always
voted the democratic ticket; his votes had
always been cast for principle, but this
year he intended to vote for policy. and
in his judgment policy dictated that
he should vote for Mckinley and
he intended to do SO as he could
not afford to take chances on another
four years Of hard times such as prevailed
during the last democratic administra-
ton. In opposition to this sentiment al
farmer in Lemhi county, being unable to
secure help to take care of his hay, swore
he'd be blamed if he would vote for
Mckinley, stating that under cleveland's8
he could get all the har-
vest hands he wanted at his own wages,
but under this Mckinley misrule the
hired men put on more airs and wore bet
ter clothes than their employers.
"In conclusion, will say that have
just recently spent mouth in the state
of Nebraska, considerable Of that time
in Omaha, and it is generally believed
that Bryan can not carry his own state"
The governor will leave for the Col
vile Indian reservation tomorrow.

ANXIOUS OVER rEKiN.
IT'S Feared That Accounts Of Massaoi
Are True.

Washington (SpeciaD Official dis
patches from China tend to confirm
the belief that foreigners in Pekin
have already met death or are in des-
perate straits.
Consul-General Goodnow has cabled
from Shanghai to the State Depart
ment that the Governor of Shantung
says the Boxers and soldiers were
bombarding the Pekin legations July
Z. Extreme anxiety was expressed by
the Governor as to the fate Of the Eu-
ropeans and friendly Chinese In the
beleagured legation buildings. An OFF,
clal message to the same effect has
been received in London from the Gov
ernor of Shantung. A London news
agency reports that all foreigners in
Pekin were murdered July 6. This is
thought to be an echo of Thursdays
DShangh si~dispatch to that effect.
The Belgian Foreign Office has re-
ceived a dispatch from Shanghai an
nounclng, on Chinese authority, that
Gen. Nieh-Si-Chang has defeated the
rebels near Pekin and has relieved

who were trying to defend Europeans.
A Tientsin correspondent of the Lon
don Express, writing under the date
of July g. says that the Chinese are
daily driving in" the allies. The Chi
nese have mounted 12 fresh guns in
advantageous positions and are sweep
ing the streets of the foreign settle
ments. A dispatch from St. Peters,
burg to the Daily Mail Is Of a different
tenor saying that in the last six hours
fighting around Tientsin the Cossacks
captured six Krupp guns and killed
many fleeing Boxers. The Chinese lost
5000 killed, including General Kek.
Consul McWede, Of Canton, says that
Ii Hung Chang has engaged quarters
on a steamer sailing for Pekin. Press
dispatches say that Prince Ii has given
up his Pekin trip. Berlin dispatches
say that Prince Ii Is sending troops to
Pekin to suppress the Boxers. This is
in response to an imperial edlct dated
June II. He will remain south, 1t is
said so as TO better control Chinese
Governors.
Dispatches from Shanghai state that
foreigners have evacuated Wauchau,
in Southern China, on account Of a
threatened Boxer uprising.
Lieutenant-General Miles has made
application for active command of the
American forces in China. 1t Is said
to be doubtful whether his request
will be granted. Washington authori-
ties have requested Mr.. WI Ting Fang

sage to United States Minister Con-
ger in Pekin. This Mr.. WI has under.

AMERICAS POSITION STATED.
Ponce Wanted with China and 'Impar
tial Trade"


Washington (SpeciaD The State
Department made public the identical
note which was recently sent to the
powers as defining the position of the
United States respecting the Chinese
troubles.
1t is understood that this circular
was drawn up June 80 and transmitted
to Canton for the approval of the
President. 1t was communicated July
3 to the powers concerned. The note
is as follows:
I'm this critical posture of affairs in
China it is deemed appropriate to de-
fine the attitude of the United States
as far as present circumstances permit
this to be done.
I'VE adhere to the policy initiated by
us in 1857, of peace with the Chinese
nation, of furtherance of lawful COM
merce and of protection of lives and
property OF our citizens by all means
guaranteed under extra territorial
treaty rights and by the law of ma
tions. If wrong be done to our citi-
zens we propose to hold the RESPONSE
bic authors to the uttermost accounta-
bility. We regard the condition at
Pekin as one of virtual anarchy,
whereby power and responsibility are
practically devOlved upon the local pro-
vincial authorities. So long as they
are not in overt collusiOn with rebel
lion and use their power to protect for
eign life and property we regard them
as representing the Chinese people,
with whom we seek to remain in peace
and friendship.
"The purpose Of the President is, as
it has been heretofore, to act concur
rently with the other powers, first, in
opening up communication with Pekin
ard rescuing the American officials,
missionaries and other Americans who
are in danger; secondly, in affording
all possible protection everywhere in
China to American life and property;
thirdly, in guarding and protecting all
| legitimate American interests; and
fourthly, in aiding to prevent spread
| of the disorders to the other provinces
| of the Empire and recurrence OF such
| disasters.
1T is, of course, too early to forecast
| the means of attaining this last result
but the policy of the Government of the
| United States is to seek solution
which may bring about permanent
safety and peace to China, preserve
Chinese territorial and administrative
entity, protect all rights guaranteed t.
friendly powers by treaty and inter
national law and safeguard for Tho
world the principle of equal and impair
tiaI trade with all parts of the Chinese
Empire.
you will communicate the purpor
of this instruction to the Minister fol
| Foreign Affairs"
