cinnau Volksfreund. The leading organ

quirer, though owned by the admirals
brother-in-law, John r. Mclean, main
tains silence on the subject.
With the approach of the republican
state convention the chances for the lead
ing nomination on the state ticket, secre-
tary OF state, seems to favor Senator
Hanna's candidate, L. C. Laylin, but yes
terday movement was started against
Laylin among the union printers of the
state in the interest of Howard Manning

place. This may prove serious to Laylin's
interests. 1t Is charged that ]. F. Laning

MIR. DeDew Takes Great Enjoyment
Out of the Senatorship.
No man in the Senate enjoys being sena-
tor more than does Depew of New York.
His satisfaction Is proclaimed in his affa-
oihty and his beaming countenance, in the
manner OF his sitting at his desk, in the
comfortable way in which he moves about
the chamber and through the corridors, in
the amiabiltty with which he responds to
calls from the reception room, In the way
he sweeps the galleries with G. glance, and
IN MS discussion OF public questions In the
street cars. He is both q delighted and a
delightful man.

SUPREME COURT REPORTS.

Further Distribution.
Mr.. Littlefield of Maine in a report from
the committee on the judiciary on the bill
Oh. r. 2551) to provide for the further dis
tribution Of the reports Of the Supreme
Court, says, in part:
1.-The enactment of this bill is necessary
to carry out and perfect a general system
already adopted by the Congress of the
United States. The purpose is to give these
reports to those officers Of the government
and those committees of the House actually
requiring the use of the same and now put
to great inconvenience and delay in the
transaction of the public business for want
thereof. The measure meets the approval
of every department Of the government and
Of all the Judges of all the courts of the
United States. The government in the
transaction of its business is penny wise
and pound foolish when it fails to provide
its oN1cers with those books absolutely es-
sen4tal to the proper discharge of their
duties. The reports of the Supreme Court
of the United States ought to be at hand
in every government building where United
States courts are held"

that ordinarily the United States courts
cannot interfere with the state courts IN a
case until the proceeding is concluded. But

ties. It was therefore an exception and
the rule did not apply.

against the Cincinnati and Lexington COM
pany.

ing Thabanchu and the Modder river
water works, broke up into strong di-
visions. and they are raiding in the
south of the Free State, reoccupying the
small towns which were evacuated by the
British. The Beers policy seems to be
to make rapid movements. with little
transport. looting English farmers and
storekeepers freely for provisions and cut
ting the communications of the British
forces.
Cen Brabant's cOlonials are now mostly
at Wepeaer. They are a splendid force,
capable Of great striking power and used
to cross country riding, and are able to
deal roughly with the Boer commanders
now roaming about the country.
A squadron of Brabant's horse captured
400 rifles near Wepener. His outposts are
reported to be in touch with the Beers and
a fight is imminent
Persistent reports are being circulated
that the Beers are preparing TO Hank the
British position at Wepener and thus to
secure entry into Basutoland- Such an at
tempt will be resisted by the Basutoland
government. which, it is believed has made
quiet preparations. Meanwhile the ap-
proach OF the armies to Basutoland pro-
dues much excitement among the natives,
necessitating the utmost vigilance on the
part of the local officials.

A Veto by the President.

The President today returned to Congress
with veto message the bill authorizing
the adjustment Of rights of settlers of the
Navajo reservation, Arizona"
The President dwells on the progress
made by these Indians and the recent en-
targement of their reservation in order to
avoid contention and friction between the
Indians and whites. The veto adds:
The present bill proposes to open to
miners and prospectors and to the operation
of the mining laws substantial portion OF
THIS reservation including a part of the
lands covered by the recent order
There has been no effort to obtain from
the Indians a concession of this character
nor has any reason been presented why if
these lands are to be taken from them
for that will practically result from this
bill II 1t becomes a law, even though not
so intended-it should not be done In pur-
suance of negotiations had with the Indians
as in other instances.
The Indians could not understand how
lands given to them in January as neces-
sary for their use should be taken away
without previous notice in the same year
While the Indians are the wards of the
government and must submit to what is
deemed for their best interests by the SOW
ereign guardian, they should, nevertheless.
be dealt with in a manner calculated to
give them confidence In the government and
to assist them in passing through the in
eyitable transition to a state of civilization
and full citizenship. Believing that due
consideration has not been given to the
status and interests Of the Indians I with
hold my approval from the bill"

RULES STRICTLY ENFORCED.
Failures to Properly Respond I,
Alarms by Firemen

One of the rules governing the fire de-
partment requires every officer in charge of
company to verify the box sounded before
leaving quarters upon an alarm. During
the past several months there have been
several instances in which mistakes were
made In responding to alarms because of a
failure of the officers in charge of the COM
panies to observe this rule.
Such a mistake was made the other day
by the assistant foreman of No. IA engine
company, and the chief engineer of the de-
partment. Mr. Joseph Paris. recommended
that he be fined s. and reprimanded, and
that private in the company be severely
repriinanded for not paying strict attention
to the number of the box he gave the Off
Ger in charge.
Commissioner Wight has recommended
to his associates that the officer in charge
of the company in this instance be simply
warned for the reason that no fines were
imposed in the other cases. But Mr. Wight
recommends that a statement be made to
the entire department, as coming from the
Commissioners, to the effect that in their
opinion the failure to respond to the proper
box is perhaps as serious an error as can
be committed In cases of alarm, and that
hereafter any failure to respond properly
Will warrant severe action by the Commits
sioners upon the officer in charge making
such error. This recommendation of Mr.
Wight, it Is understood, his associates will
approve
