Concise and Explicit.

Many stories. mostly fabricstions,
have been told about long, diffuse tele-
graphic messages sent by women, as II
the feminine mind were incapable Of
expressing itself concisely.
How false and slanderous such an
impression is is well shown by an in
cident reported by a contemporary. A
s7-tleman went to Paris on business.
AS he went away he said something to
hiS wife about buying her a new dress.
Just before starting homeward he tele-
graphed to his wife, (which shall !
bring you. a diamond ring or a silk
dress?"
The reply was concise and explicit

The report GENES from the Phil
ippines that Otis is breaking down
under the strain upon him. What
this strain is the dispatch failed to
state, but it is probable that this
is a subterfuge to the fact that
the administration is tired of his
weak policy and will shortly sup
ercede him. In this connection
the fact is significant that his
physician says an early return to
the United States is necessary to
restore his health.

Washington, ID. c., March 26.-The
deplorable liberalization OF the In
dian Territory has been SO vividly
broughtsto the attention Of the mem
bers of the house and senate commit
tees on Indian affairs that remediable
legislation seems now likely to reach
q state of fruition within the near fu-
ture. The delegates of the South
McAlester convention, since their
arrival in the city, have focused their
energies upon senators and members
to secure the enactment of some
general townsite law which will
bring. order out of the chaotic condi-
ton existing. AS result of their
efforts bills have been introduced In
the house and senate providing q
sweeping charge in the present town
site laws.
What the delegates have urged is
. law comforting authority upon the
various towns in Indian Territory
to have surveys made of their respec-
tive towns and maps and charts pre-
pared at the expense of the citizens
to be forwarded to the secretary for
his approval. When approved by
the secretary it lie desired that he ap-
point board of appraisers who could
appraise the value of the property
within a comparatively short time.
This proposition was submitted to
Secretary Bliss some time ago, with
the result that the Immediately ap-
proved it and submitted an estimate
to congress showing that it would
save the government nearly 5000. 900,
and at the same time would safeguard
the rights OF property holders ms
carefully as il the work was done by
the commission appointed by the
secretary of the interior.
1t is evident, however, from the
bills introduced IN the house and
senate that the members of congress
propose to confer upon the citizens
of the various towns the privileges
which they ask, viz: of making their
! own surveys, plats and charts at
their own expense for subsequent
approval BY the secretary of the In
terror. But should this plan fail, the
delegates would readily accept a
provision providing townsite COM
miseioners for every incorporated
town in the Territory. Such q bill,
even though it did not concede all
the people desire, would greatly ex-
pedite the work which IL of most i'm
portance at the present time.

AS soon as Salisbury learned
that the house of representatives
had decided to investigate the
charges made by ex-Consul Mac
rum he sent an apology to our gov
ernment and it is announced that
Secretary Hay will transmit this
apology to the house committee
when it begins the investigation.
Now. the question arises, why
did Secretary Hay try to discredit
Macrum before the American by
denying the charges made by him,
and why did he wait for the British
government to make a voluntary
apology? This action of the Brit
ish government certainly places
Hay and the administration in a
very bad light and shows that
rather than demand an apology for
the national insult they preferred
to summarily dismiss an honest,
capable official and sought to be-
smirch his private character to
justify themselves.

Tho preparation OF the Cherokee
treaty by the Dawes commission and
the delegates from the Cherokee ma
ton has been practically completed
and will be sent to the secretary OF
interior within day or two. While
the changes and notifications are
being carefully guarded by the men,
bers of the commission and the
Cherokee delegates, under instruc-
tions from the secretary Of the inter-
ior, 1t is learned that the treaty as
modified is very similar to the Greek
treaty, the provisions of which have
already been published in the terri
torial press. No additional federal
courts have been provided for and
tribal courts will only be permitted
In the consideration of petty cases.
When this provision is taken up by
congress the general impression pre-
walls that it will be again modified
as to obliterate the tribal courts en-
tirely. The members of the commit
tee on IndiaD affairs of the house and
senate believe that one of the Inost
essential changes of the laws of the
Territory for the restoration of order
is the complete and absolute abolish
ment of all tribal forms of govern
ment. They point out that in the
Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole
treaties mistakes were made by con-
fering upon the members of the
tribe authority to continue certain
provisions of their tribal form of
government. This, it is insisted, has
been absolute detriment to the open:
ing up of those sections and the same
mistake should not again be made.
-
A determined fight will be made
against the increase in the appro-
priation for the Dawes commission,
The Indian appropriation bill, as
passed by the house, contained an
appropriation of $780, 900 for the
Dawes commission during the fiscal
year commencing July 1st, 1900.
When the bill went over to the sem
ate the appropriation was increased
to s640, 900. Many members of the
senate are disgusted with the dllatory
course pursued by the Dawes COM
mission and have announced their
determination to antagonize this
increase. But even If it should pass
the senate, it will be contested in the
house and the PROBABILITIES are that il
will be defeated in that body.
Another provision added to the In
dian appropriation bill by the SEN
ate committee on appropriation will
also be a subject of considerable
contention. 1t is a provision provid-
ing for the payment OF the loyal
Greek claims. 1t is insisted that
this 10 clearly new legislation and
has no place on the appropriation
bill. The point OF order will be rails
cd with the probability that the pro-
vision will be defeated.

A Western judge was so inn
pressed with the dignity of the law
as vested in his own person that save
in the bosom Of his family he was
seldom heard to refer to himself i'll
any other way than as 'sthe court.
Even his personal dignity was not

ever, and on the occasion of rapid
encounter with a goat, which result
ed in precipitate action on the
judges part, his face sustained con-
siderable damage.
The morning after the affair he
appeared in the courtroom, and the
peculiar hue of his forehead, cheeks,
and nose led to many inquiries. At
the earliest opportunity the judge
explained matters.
tsBefore proceeding further,s he
said, gravely, cit would perhaps be
