AS TO INDIAN AFFAIRS.
United States Commissioner
Makes His Annual Report

The report Of the commissioner
of Indian affairs has been submit
ted to the secretary Of the interior.
OF the Creek and Cherokee leases
the report states:
"The department, November 4,
1898, promulgated regulations gov
erning the leasing Of mineral lands
in the Creek and Cherokee nations
In accordance with the provisions
of section 13 of the act approved
June 2S, 1898. No leases for the
mining Of minerals OF any charac'
ter in either of said nations have
been approved by the department;
but the inspector reported Deem
ber 1, 1899, that he had given John
Bullette Indian, temporary per-
mission to mine coal in a certain
locality in the Cherokee nation
and that similar permission had
been granted to W. S. Edwards,
a Cherokee citizen, who desired to
supply coal to railroad that was
in the course of construction,
and the inspector requested
that Mr.. Edwards action be ap-
proved. Under this temporary
permission said parties were to
nav the rate Of royalty prescribed
by the regulations of November 4
1898, and the permits were subject
to cancellation at any time the de-
partment deemed it advisable.
Office report of December 7, 1879,
recommended that the Inspectors
action be approved and the depart
ment December 10 authorized him
to issue the permits under the con-
ditions stated, namely, that they
can be revoked at any time in the
discretion Of the secretary and thai
each party shall pay a royalty o.
10 cents per ton as prescribed IN
the general regulations"
With reference to the collection
Of tribal taxes the report says;
s.There is no doubt that the cat
tie tax due to the Cherokee nation
should be paid. and ! do not see
that anything satisfactory woulc
result by the seizure CT the cattle
unless there be authority to sell
the same in satisfaction OF the tax
The law of the nation on this sub
iect does not contemplate the sale
of cattle to sstisfy debt to th'
nation in taxes, and the office hal
very great doubt whether this De
partment could authorize a sal'
for the purpose.
"There is no question, however
that it would be advisable to re
mand all cases Of the introduction
of cattle, or the grazing OF cattle
in the Cherokee nation, over which
the United States would have lur
isdiction under Section 2l17 of th'
revised statutes, to those courtl
for the imposition penalty pro
vided in the statute; and | doub
very much whether the lntroduc
tion of cattle by a citizen OF th'
Cherokee nation, although in vic
lation of the laws of that nation
would be a violation of Section
2l17 of the re evised statutes OF th'
United States, and constitute al
offense over which the courts o
the United States would hav'
jurisdiction.
"As to this, therefore, It is rec
commended that the inspector b
advised that on account OF tn

policemen it is net deemed exped

THE HAVANA FRAUDS.
Only Extend to Postal Department Salaries
Cut.


Havana, May 2S.-General Wood re-
ceived to-day report from the audi
tors who have been investigating the
treasury and the customs departments.
The auditors say that they have not
finished their work, but everything so
far as they have gone is satisfactory.
AT all events the method of keeping the
books is perfect, and does not present
any difficulty to the examiner. The
auditors are not Havana employees, but
have been brought especially from the
United States because Of their records
as experts
Acting Director General Bristow is
still endeavoring to reduce expenses in
the postal department. To-day he is
sued an order cutting down salaries
in the Havana local office, the pay of
the postmaster being reduced from ST.
500 to $1,000, that of his assistant
from $1,000 to $1,sOO and that OF ten
other employees by sums ranging from
500 to $40O. Mr.. Bristow says he is
fixing the salaries at figures slightly
above those paid in the United States
because of the abnormal conditions ex-
listing here. .
Seten clerkships have also been abol-
ished. making n reduction of another
$1,000. In the order Mr.. Bristow says
that additional reductions can be made
In the local office with out detriment.

METHoDiSTs CONFERENCE,
Refuses to Crfticise President Mckinley
still Forbids Gard Playing.

Chicago, May 2S-With three bust
ness sessions to-day the quadrennial
conference of the Methodist church,
which for a month past has been sit
ting here considering great questions
affecting the welfare of that denomin-
alton, practically came to close. The
actual adjournment does not take place
until tomorrow, but to-morrow's ses-
sion Is expected to be little more than
n tormality. Many of the delegates
left for their homes tonight
Much important business was trans
acted to-day, including the settlement
OF two of the most Interesting questions
brought before the conference.-the re-
ports of the committee on temperance
and the committee on the state of the
church in regard to the ban on card
playing, theater- going, dancing and 9TH
er amusements. A strong political col
or was given the discussion on the tenn
perance question by the bitter arraign-
ment Of President Mckinley because of
his attitude on the anti-canteen law, but
after some decidedly warm debate the
conference refused to criticise the atti-
tude Of the chief magistrate by strik-
Ing out by an overwhelming vote all
reference to his action ON his part or
that Of Attorney General Griggs.
The minority report on amusements
accepted Saturday. was, to the surprise
of many, laid on the table, which ac-
tion leaves the paragraph in the book
of discipline exactly as it was before
the question was considered.

Puerto Rico" or Porto Rico?" Let
us hope that uniformity will a last
prevail. 1t is not the first case of a
vexatIous variation and puzzle to those
who wish to spell 1t correctly. 1t took
years to get rid OF "Dacotah" and to
establish the spelling Dakota" The
situation with respect to our new Is
land possession is that the board OF
geographic names, which is supposed
to determine such matters. has decided
strongly for Puerto Rico. The Presi-
dent, 1t is understood. accepted the
authority of the board and adopted
its spelling. But congress has enact
ed form Of government for Porto
Rico" which thus becomes the legal
name OF the territory.

The mystery OF the "wabbling" of
the earth's axis may be explained in
the opinion OF DR.. J. Hahn, a German
astronomer. by assuming that the ro-
tation OF our planet is affected by
changes In the magnetic influences of
the sun. He publishes a comparison
OF observations on sun-spots and on
the irregular motions OF the north pole,
which appears to show coincidence
between the two phenomena During
a maximum Of sunspots the magnetic
influence OF the sun seems to be great
est, and after the passage Of such a
maximum the disturbance OF the
earths axis diminishes. The fact
that the earth's poles of magnetism do
not correspond in location with It's
geographical poles may, Doctor Hahn
suggests. indicate how the suns dis
turbing action is applied. When the
magnetism of our globe is most pow
erfully excited then the strain along
its magnetic axis may cause distor-
tion of the figure of the earth, which
becomes less as the strain diminishes.

matron OF city employment bureau
recently, who has come today to en-
gage a cook. laundress or parlor maid.
Moreover, each one has made good
selection, stated his requirements

product of the age as the new woman.
He can make his own bed. sew buttons

ROBBED THEIR VICTIMS.
Many Determined Men the Trail of the
NIurderers.


Thompson's Springs, Utah, May 2S.-
Several posses to-day started in pur-
suit Of the bandits who murdered Sher-
in Tyler and sam Jenkins last Satur-
day at Hill creek, fifty miles north of
here.
1t is learned today that men answer
ing the description of the outlaws pass
ed through here last Wednesday, COM
ing from Moab. After the shooting
they rified the pockets of the two dead
men, knowing that Day and others
would return 10 take the bodies away.
The outlaws bet part of their camping
outfit remain to make the rescuers be-
lieve they Were still there.
The men stopped AT Turner's cabin in
Hay canon. eight miles north and
twelve east of the scene of the tragedy,
and took four Of Turner's best horses.
Before leaving the leader of the crowd
said:
We are going up Hay canon and will
cross the White river. Just as soon as
We get some money we will pay you
for the horses, providing We amt killed.
One thing is certain, we will never be
taken alive"
Much specula ton Is being INDUCED in
as to who the outlaws are. Some think
they are the gang who killed the two
Mormon boys in Arizona last year.
Bush Cassidy. the Jones brothers and
Harvey Curry. alias kid" Curry, are
believed to be in the gang. There is
standing reward of 5000 for the ar
rest of the latter for robbing the Port
land, Oregon, bank.
Turner is along with the posse head
ed by Sheriff preece. Day is with
Sheriff Howell's party. Before leaving
Sheriff Preeece wired Indian Agent
Myton al Vernal, the authorities at
Rock Springs. Meeker, Colorado; Sher-
man and Wallace. instructing them to
send out posses at once TO head off the
outlaws. 1t is almost certain that one
or the other of the posses will come
across the gang within the next few
days, when some lively shooting is
looked for.

The experience of the French troops
in the Sahara has shown that dark
colored horses bear great atmospheric
heat much better than do those OF a
light color. A writer in Nature re-
marks that the same fact has been
demonstrated in India, and adds that
tropical animals generally have darker
coats than are found upon those liv-
ing in cold climates. Similarly the
darkest -hued races Of mankind inhabit
the warmer countries.

LET 1T DIE.

Pay no attention to slanderers and
gossipmongers. Keep straight on
your course, and let their back-biting
die the death of neglect. What is
the use of lying AWAKE nights brood
ing over the remarks OF some false
friend, that run through your brain
like lightningP What is the use of
getting into a worry and fret over
gossip that has been set afoat to your
disadvantage by some medlesome
.busybody' who has more time than
characterf These things cannot
possibly injure you, unless, indeed
you take notice of them, and in COM
batting them give them standing and
character. If what is said about
you is true, set yourself right; if it
is false, let it go for what it will
fetch. If bee stings you, would
you 60 to the hive and destroy itp 1t
is wisdom to say little concerning
the injuries you have received. We
are generally losers in the end if we
stop to refute all the back-biting
and gossiping we may hear by the
way.-Ex.

University Troubles.

In the northern and western parts
of the state little, if anything can be
done by man in public position
without the newspapers charging
that the Southern Pacific Company
has hand or influence in it. The
Reno Journal has brought this ele-
ment into the recent trouble which
occurred at the University and which
resulted in accepting the resigna-
ton of Prof. Jackson OF the Mining
Department, and in the dismissal of
Prof. Phillips of the same course.
The Journal sought to charge that
the s. P. Co. was behind the trouble
and connected President Stubb's
name, of the University with it.
President Stubbs regards the at
tack of the Jornal as 80 malicious
in this respect that he proposes to
to give its proprietors chance to
prove their assertion in court, and
has so notified them.
