INDIANS NOT DYING OUT.
Red Men as Numerous Now az in thu

Washington, Nov. 4.-The remarka-
BILE statement that the Indian popula-
ton Of the United States yesterday IL
little diminished from what 1t was IN the
time OF Columbus Coronado, Raleigh,
Capt. John Smith and other early ex-
plorers, is the chief feature OF the an
nual report Of Commissioner of Indian
Affairs William "A. Jones.
The report disputes positively the
commonly accepted theory that. by con-
stant contact with the whites, the ex-.
itinction of the Indian is only matter
OF time. The commissioner declares
with emhpasis that his research from
the moet reliable data obtainable proves
that the red men are not decreasing In
numbers Since 1870. the time of the
first reliable Indian census, the popula-
ton has been stationary, the only de-
crease being attributable to Indians be-
coming citizens OF the United States.
The total expenditure by the govern
ment on account Of the Indian service
from March A. 1889, up to and including
July 30. 1900, was s36s, ,35s, ,2l7. The ex-
pendituree for the fiecal year ended last
July amounted to $10.175,10 OF this
amount at least 1890, 600 was devoted
to the caure OF Indian education.

would not be his privilege in the next
budget to relieve the taxpayers. He
wished he could say that he was not
about to increase the budget. but the

enormous, especially in China and South
Africa. He declared emphatically, how
ever, that the wealth of the Transvaal

African expenses.

must not spoil the future of the Trans
vaal by attempting to impose upon 1t q
greater burden than it could reasonably

maintenance OF strong army and navy
would involve a further considerable ex-
penditure.

the arrest in New York OF Preza and
Maroucci, charged with having snug
gled into the United States diamonds
and other jewels belonging to Emperor
Maximilian's crown and to Empress
Carlotta, excited much interest here. It

Mexico. and old imperialists consider it
quite impossible that such valuable dia-

WORRIED ABOUT CHINA.
Dritish Press Criticising Attitude Q
United 8tates and Germany.


United States and Germany.
London. Nov. "A. The morning papers,
are again ag1tated concerning the sta
sbility OF the concert Of the powers In
China. The attitudes OF Germany and.
the United States meet with disapproy-
al. the former because Count Won Wall
sdersee has sent a column to destroy the
Ming tombs, an act which is regarded
as needlessly vindictive. and the latter
because 1t threatens to break UP the.
concert.
The Daily Chronicle comments
strongly upon the American attitude as
"a feeble compromise which it is i'm
possible to accept"
The Morning Post says: ..It would be
unreasonable for the United States to
break up the concert because they do
not desire an indemnity. The powers
would probably be willing to consider
Americas objections. II, however, the
United States have In view some new
combination Of the powers. 1t will be
