LONG LOST GRIP FOUND.
Through Mistake Was Sent to Dem
yer. Colorado.

About the first of November l..
w. Burlington and wife went to
Tahlequah to attend the session of
the Cherokee council. A large
grip containing clothing, ETC., was
lost in transit, as it never reached
Tahlequah, and was never heard
of until today when it was located
by the railroad company at Dem
yer, Colorado, having been acci-
dentally sent away with the bag
gage of the "John T. Nicholson
Co." that was showing at the op-
era house here at the time. 1t has
been over 100 days since the grip
was missent and the railroad COM
pany has kept up constant search
for it. The value OF the grip was
of considerable consequence, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Burlington very much
prefer recovering it than TO have
received pay for il, as it contained
soms valuable trinkets that money
would not replace.

only as are delegated to it by ex-
press terms to the end that GER
tainty my exist in the government
of the people. 1t Is further the
sense of this meeting that it was
never intended that the laws,
rules and regulations, many OF
them passed many years ago, and
now sought to be enforced by the
interior department here, were to
be applied to the condition which
now exist in the Indian Territory,
which now has more than five
hundred thousand people.
Resolved, Third = That mas
much as the twenty-ninth section
Of the Curtis act provides that the
laws of the various tribes or ma
tions of Indians shall not be en-
forced in the courts of the United
States, either at law or in equity,
1T is the sense Of this meeting that
it was never the intention of con-
gress that'the revenue laws of the
tribes should be enforced in any
manner, much less by the interior
department; that such taxation is
unjust, unequitable, oppressive
and I'M American. 1t is further
the sense OF this meeting tha; any
attempt upon the part of te inter-
ior department to enforce by force
said taxation. which has no stand
ing either at law or in equity, is
quibble, pure and simple.
Resolved, Fourth-That cong
ress be asked to provide ample
means and every possible facility
to aid the commission to the five
civilized tribes in making the al.
lotments Of the lands of the said
tribes under the treaties heretofore
provided, and the treaties contem
plated for the Cherokee Nation,
and that the people lend their
hearty cooperation and support to
the said commission, to the end
that the work OF the said commiss-
ion in the matter of making said
allotments and the settlement Of
townsites, may be accomplished as
early as possible. And further,
that the membership Of said CON-
mission to the FIVE civilized tribes
should be increased to that extent
that three members thereof should
be assigned to each nation, with a
full complement Of assistants,
clerks and every other facility nee
essary for the carrying on and
completion OF the work in each Of
the said nations, and that said
three members be specifically as
signed to each nation, and that
they be responsible for the work
therein, and that they terminate
the same as quickly as possible.
1t is believed that the present
number of commissioners compos-
ing the commission to the Eve
civilized tribes could not complete
the work in the several nations
within a reasonable length of time.
Resolved, Fifth-That the citi-
zens of the Indian Territory be re-
ouested to render such aid as pos
sible to the delegations Of the
Indian tribes who have treaties
now pending with the United
States, TO assist them in their rat
ifcation.
Resolved, S.xth-That it is the
expression Of this meeting that all
questions pertaining to citizenship
are res judicata and that any effort

A GERMANS VIEW OF US
OBSERVATION OF AMERICAN INDUS
TRIAL CONDITIONS.
Regards the United States as the
Enemy in an Economical Sense
of His Country.

The German central bureau for the prep
aretion of commercial treaties has just
published remarkable book written by its
president, DR.. Vosberg- Rekow, who has
spent months in investigating the indus
trial conditions of the United States. The
work is noteworthy for the candor and
b,eadth which characterizes it, and for the
totally unbiased manner with which Dr.
Rekow reviews the economic conditions of
the great Industrial powers and their re-
lations toward each other as competitors.
The United States he declares to be the
NEST dangerous opponent to Germany's in
dGstrial power and commercial advance.
In setting forth the German view of the
United States development. DR.. Rekow dis
plays both the acknowledgment of and the
Tears for American mastery in trade, and
in this portion of his work. which United
States Vice Consul General Hanauer at
Frankfort has transmitted to the Depart
ment of State, he pays many high tributes
to America and Americans.
In comparison of the cars empire with
the United States he says: While the
great mass of Russia's population remains
in comatose state and occasionally
starves Out small part of it participating
in modern economic work. the entire Yam
kee nation is like a perfectly disciplined
army standing shoulder to shoulder at the
forge, the loom or the printing press, earn
ing wealth from their industry"
Again he states: Europe, with her old
established industries. is so hard pushed by
the young American competitor that the
necessity of uniting in common customs
league against this bold intruder has be-
come a matter of serious consideration"
The writer commends our consular service,
saying: THE United States has covered
Europe with a network of consuates and
makes its consuls at the same time in
spectors of our exports and vigilant senti-
Eels, who spy out every trade opening and
Pre- nptly report it, DR.. Rekow also pre-
diets the establishment of American
merchant marine. There can be no doubt"
he says that an American merchant ma
rine will ere long be forthcoming, and be-
come of vast extent. Whoever has watched
the present state of activity in American
shlpyards will have no doubt that
score.
In short continues DR.. Rekow, 1.-The
Americans are the sole commercial-political
opponents whom we must earnestly dread.
Russia will remain profitable customer to
us r the future; with Great Britain we are
united by bonds of common interests; the
United States is-in an economical sense
our enemy.

NO FRAME HOUSES TO BE SEEN.
South Africa Uses n Great Deal of
Cement In Building.

South Africa is without a peer as a GUS
tcmer for cement, says United States Con-
sui General Stowe at Cape Town in recent
communication to the Department of State.
All the buildings there, he says, all the
warehouses. stores and residences. are built
of brick, cemented on the outside. and no
wood or frame" houses are to be seen.
The bricks used in South Africa are larger
than American bricks, and are laid
up principally with mud" the inferior
clay found in that region, instead of lime
mortar or cement. The cement comes into
play in the outside finish of the buildings.
1t is laid over the whole surface. and the
expert Malay masons in South Africa pro-
duce very pleasing and unique effects in
finishing up caps, columns and mol1iHgs,
closely initiating the natural stone in this
decorative work. A striking effect is pro-
duced by 'spattering" some of the larger
buildings with cement. which presents a
rough exterior. very striking and pleasing

States,' says Mr.. Stowe, ''our manufac-
turers of cement were producing article
which was proved by tests to be as good as
the English. and that cement ought TO find
large market here. While the United
States, at the present time, would be ham,
pered on account of the excessive steam
ship rates to this country, which would
prevent competition with the German and
Belgian cements, yet l am convinced. with
equal rates, the United States cement could
find market here in large quantities. Ce-

THE PRESIDENT AND PENSIONS.
Ex-COm issiOner Murphy Contradict
ed hx

Ex-COm M issiOner Murphy Contradict
ed by a G. A. II. Committee.
The following statement as to the atti-
tude of President Mckinley regarding the
pension roll has been made by members
of the pension committee of the G. A. r.:
In an interview, ID. l. Murphy, former
commissioner of pensions, states that Presi-
dent Mckinley on the morning of Septem-
Der t. 1899, said to the national committee
on pensions, G. A. r.. There is no use
denying the fact, gentlemen, that the money
power of the country is against any further
expansion of the pension roll" The under
signed members, only of the pension COM
mittee, called on the President by appoint
ment that morning, and in the interest of
justice we desire to say that this state
ment Is not true. The President did not
on that occasion nor at any other tune
make use Of any such words, nor did he
make any such suggestion then at any
time, and we were present at all the con-
ferences between the President and the
national committee on pensions from July,
1893, until the passage of the bill amending
the act of June 2Ts 1880, in May, 1860. At
each conference he unreservedly approved
the amendments proposed by the commit
tee and unanimously adopted by the Phia-
delphia encampment. More than this, the
President freely gave to the committee and
the soldiers and sailors and their dependent
ones whom we represented his personal
aid In securing the passage OF the b..
Having satisfied himself of the absolute
justice of the measure. he did not hesitate
to declare in favor of the amendment of
the act of 1899 and the liberal administra
ton of all the pension laws. The President
is the earnest and practical friend of the
soldiers and sailors of this country. From
the very beginning of his public career he
has given expression to sincere regard
for his comrades of the war and on all
proper occasions he has not failed to de-
clare himself earnestly In favor OF a lib
eral administration of the pension laws.
In his official capacity as a member of
Congress and as the chief executive of the
nation, he has evinced the utmost concern
for literalized pension legislation and ad-
ministration. 1t is a cruel and wicked
wrong to put into the mouth Of the Presi-
dent the words ascribed to him in this in
terview. He does not entertain such senti-
ments. The chief executive executes the
laws as enacted by the Congress. and no
President in the history of this republic has
performed his duty more faithfully in this
regard than our comrade, William McKin-
ley. He was and is in thorough accord
with the sentiments of the Grand Army as
expressed at Philadelphia and Chicago. in
the administration OF the pension laws.
and of this facti1he national pension COM
mittee has full knowledge. r. 3: Brown.

MAKING TEA.
The Proper Method Described by the
Consul at bombay.

The Proper Method Described by the
Consul at bombay.
The proper method of making tea" is de-
scribed by United States Consul Fee at
Bombay in a long report to the State De-
partment in regard to the tea industry Of
India Tea is one of the staple products Of
India and is fast becoming one of the prin-
ciple articles of export to the United States
During the past fifteen years the acreage
in tea in India has increased 81 per cent.
and the quantity of production about 161
per cent, while the prices have been CORE
spondngly reduced. These conditions have
largely stimulated expectation, and India
tea, the consul says, has captured new
markets in the world consumption, and de-
veioped those already acquired as she could
never otherwise have done. Her tea having
found favor. her problem of over-production
may be solved. the consul says. by the va
rious causes that produce the conditions.
1T has been only of late years" he says,
that the finer qualities of Indian teas have
found their way to America. The wealthy
Chinese were early buyers, and portion of
the better quality was taken formerly by
overland conveyance by Russian merchants.
The quality of the tea is greatly affected
by the manner Of making it, and l might
say that it is impossible to make really good
tea with hard water, though the excess Of
lime in the water may be corrected by the
judicious use of carbonate of soda. In the
proper making or infusing Of tea the object
is to extract as much of the theine-the
active principle and aromatic oil-which
gives the aroma. and as little as possible of
the tannin, which gives tea its astringency.
This seems best accomplished by not boiling
the tea. but by pouring boiling water on it
and allowing 1t to infuse but a few mo-
ments. In some places in the east tea Is
made in the cup. The proper quantity of
leaves are placed in the cup, boiling water
poured over them. and the cup covered for
short tine with the saucer. To prevent
the leaves from rising to the surface per-
forated bit Of silver or silver fligree work
Is placed over them"

Alleged Forfeiture of Bond.

A warrant for the arrest of John B..

Court by direction of Judge Kimball. The
complainant in the case is Miss Cora v.

Previous to the issuance of the warrant
Prosecutor Mullowny informed Judge Kim

the courts attention to the fact that Mr..
O'NeiH, whose bond in $500 to keep the
peace for six months toward Miss Spangler
was given several weeks ago. had last even

her and had broken glass with his fist.

Travelling SaIesman's Forecast.

One of the most reliable forecasts the
writer has yet secured was that made by a
travelling salesman yesterday. This gentle
man had visited tffty-six counties out of
l19 in the state, and he had spent at least
one day in the county seat in each county.
He says he talked with at least fifty or
eighty and in some towns more voters. He
figures the result in the state thus:
BRYAN will probably carry the state by
a small majority. | wouldn't bet on that,
but from what l have seen and heard
think it the most likely result. However,
that race may be considered quite uncer-
tain so far as kentucky is concerned. But
so far as the gOvernorship race Is con-
cerned, l believe Yerkes will receive a ma
jority so large that the manipulation of
election machinery cannot count him out
l think YerkeS majority Will be over 1000
and wouldn't be surprised to see it larger.
In a walk Of five squares on Main street
Saturday your correspondent talked with
number of leading business men and asked
their opinions to the result in the state.
One said he knew of nineteen men in his
ACQUAINTANCE who voted for Bryan who
would support Mckinley this year. The
speaker said he had heard of others, but
did not have their names. Another gentle
man. a wholesale merchant, who has been
in business on Main street thirty years,
said he knew of eleven men of his acquain-
lance who voted for Mckinley in 1895 who
had announced their intention of voting for
Bryan this year. So it goes. 1t is almost
impossible to figure on the result with GER
tainty II one takes the claims Of all the
voters he talks with as a basis.
