INDIAN EmPLoYEs

Convention Can be Pulled to Guthrie II
Proper Effort IL Made.
Mayor Berkey is in receipt Of let
ter from John II. Spear, superinte n
dent Of the Fort Yuma training school
at Yuma, Arizona, suggesting that
Guthrie make an effort 70 secure the
convention of the Indian service en-
ployes Mayor Berkey Is in favor OF
the suggestion aud will lend his in
fuence and time toward securing IL.
The letter is as follows:
Fort Yuma Training School.
Yuma, Ariz.. March l2, 1900.
The Mayor, Guthrie, Okla.
Sir-Every year the emp'oye In the
Indian service hold an iusti ute dur
lug the first and second weeks In July.
Last year il was held at Los Angeles;
the year before at Co orado Springs,
and the years before that at Sioux
City and st. Paul. It seems TO me that
the institute should 60 to oklahoma
this year. l think that Oklahoma has
more Indian employees than any state
or territory in the UnioB Should they
all join In asking that the institute be
held at Guthrie, and the city make on
effort ! think 1t would go.
II tn nix you ought TO get the sup
port of Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado,
New Mexico and Arizona l think
you may also get the support of Wash
ington and Oregon. Last year the in
stitute was held on the coast, and can
hardly go back there this year, but II
it goes TO the extreme south and east
thia yeGr 1t will probably go to the ex-
treme northwest next year. while IL it
goes to some central point, as Ogden
or Salt Lake City, or to the north-
east, as Fargo or Minneapolis, this
year, they will have all the southern
point to contend with next year.
u'The territory east of the Mississip-
pi is not to be considered, rs it has
very few schools.
'If YOU expect to take up this mat
ter inform me.
II am, very respectfully,
JOIN s, SPEAR,
superintendent and acting agent"

ODDS AND ENDS OF THIS Earth
Many Regions of the Globe Are Yet UD-

Many Regions of the Globe Are Yet Un-
known to Civilized Men,
Your men with taste for travel,
adventure and discovery have been
lately in the state OF mind indulged in
by Alexander, who sat down and wept
because there were not more worlds
TO conquer For the comfort and edifi-
cation OF such, Henry M. Stanley, the
distinguished ex-traveler publishes an
article on the odds and ends OF earth,
which are still left open, or rather
closed, for exploration. and which,
with industry and economy, could be
made TO yield something to the trav-
eler. Mr.. Stanley begins with the con-
tinent OF Africa, which still offers GER
tain parcels OF sround, one OF them 700
miles long and fifty miles vide, which
have never been thoroughly explored,
or, indeed, explored at all. Besides the
work Of original exploration there is In
Africa an immense amount OF supple
mentary exploration TO be done. There
are mountains 1900 feet high to be
climbed and written up In detail.
These mountains all have names which
may be found In any good central At
/ rica lexicon. The great African lakes,
all discovered since 1850, are known
only, as II were. In outline. Their
depth or their altitude above the sea
level is unknown as yet. The Nile has
few more sources yet TO be discov-
cred and so has the Congo. There are
believed to be active volcanoes in AZ
rica which have never yet been studied
/ by white men. There are scattered
around In the forests and mountains Of
Africa whole tribes who have never
seen white face. These are all to be
looked up. Besides Africa. the CONT
nent of South America offers grea.
tracts OF almost unknown country. An
American steamer occasionally ascenda
/ the Amazon, but the vast forests on
the head waters OF that stHeam--its
tributaries themselves great rivers--is
still a mystery. The great chain Of
the Andes has been crossed In many
i places, but has not been traversed
lengthwise. A great part OF the An
dean Cordillera Is completely un-
known, says Mr.. Stanley, both as to
its topography and geology. The Cape
and Cs'-o railroad has been spoken OF
as depending on circumstances, but
one great explorers railroad is open
for business already. It is the great
trans-slberlan all-through route from
one side Of Asia 10 the other. South OF
this road lies one-hfth OF the continent
Of Asia, stretching away to the Hima-
layas, which Is good and fruitful
ground for the explorer Thus Africa,
South America and Asia are yet to be
explored in large sections. The arctic
regions still present their hidden at
fractions and the traveller may stili
seek sem, cheered on by the hope OF
freezing and starvation. Kansas City

A Washington police court had oc-
casion recently to pSss upon the mo-
mentous question whether the proprie-
tor OF a monkey can be compelled to
furnish it with shoes. On the com
plant of some benevolent IDIOT Pietro
Blorello, by profession hand organ
list, was hauled into the temple of JUS
tce to answer charge of cruelty to
animals, In that he was utilizing a
barefooted monkey in the collection
OF his precarious income. After a
careful research into the law OF domes-
tic relations the court reached the con-
Siusion that signor Florello was under
no legal obligation to furnish his
friend with footwear, and the case was
accordingly dismissed.

A SNAG STRUCK.


Chicago, Jan. 23.--At the mass
meeting of general passenger agents
of western and transcontinental
roads in the Western Passenger
association rooms yesterday ii is
said snag was struck that threatens
to delay abolishing commission pay
ments and restoring all passenger
rates to normal tariff. President J.
j. Hill, of the Great Northern, and
the managers of the Canadian Paci-
fic are said to stand in the way Of
the contamination of the big pooling
plan of the eastern road magnates.
General Passenger Agent Whitney,
of the Great Northern, reported that
his road was not prepared to with
draw the $25 tourist rate from St.
Paul to Seattle, but would consent in
the interest of harmony to make the
minimum rate to all points in the
northwest $25. The reason assigned
that the Great Northern cannot
afford to abandon the field to the
Canadian Pacific, which continues to
make the low rates, was not satsfac-
tory to the Union Pacific and Oregon
Railway and Navigation company,
which refused to honor rebate tickets
so long as tickets at fiat rates are
sold from st. Paul. Efforts are now
being made to harmonic the con-
ficting interests of the Canadian Pa
cific and Northern Pacific.

WABASH TRAINMEN.


st. Louis, Jan. 22.-The negotiations
between the Wabash railroad officials
and the committees sent here by the
trainmen to seek an advance in wages
have taken turn which may result
in serious crisis. The committees
presented their claims several days
ago and have been waiting for a def
mite answer. This, it seems was not
forthcoming as soon as they believed
it should be and they summoned the
chiefs of the four great divisions of
the organized employees. Afterwards,
as result of long discussion, they
sent message to General Manager
Ramsey, of the Wabash railroad, ask
ing for confederence. This, they
say, was not granted. The next step
was to send a telegram to President
Ashley, of the Wabash, whose office
is in New York, setting forth the facts
and asking him to grant conference
Mr.. Ashley's reply has been received,
stating that he would take the request
under advisement, but could give no
definite answer until he had commu-
nicated with Mr.. Ramsey.

PENSIONING VETERANS.


Washington, Jan. 23.-Gen. Albert
d. Shaw, commander-in-chef of the
&. A. r., and the pension committee
of that organization had a hearing
Monday before the house committee
on invalid pensions in the pending
bill to amend and make more clear
the act of June ~, 1899. Gen. Shaw
spoke briefly and the main arguments
were made by Chairman Brown, of
GAINESVILLE. O., and Gen. Daniel T..
Sickles, the old commander of the
Third army corps.
The principal feature of the argu-
ments was that the law be made so
clear as to be beyond the possibility
of misconstruction. Some minor
changes were proposed in the CALM
ger bill and in the main its provisions
were approved as giving the remedies
desired. Gen Sickes added a vigor-
Gus plea for adequate attention by
the government to the veterans in
their old age and inhrmities.

CUBA'S JUDICIAL SYSTEM.
1t IL to BE Reformed In Order That Justice
May BE Obtained Without
Delay.

Havana, Jan. 23.-The newly APP
pointed law reform commission will
begin work almost Immediately.
The judicial system throughout the
island will be made to lend itself to
the speedy handling of cases in order
that justice may be obtained without
delay. At the same time facility TO
appeal will be granted. Severe en-
actments will be instituted against
perjury, the commission being of the
opinion that few severe sentences
will go long way towards stopping
that crime.
The Lucha said to-day; "Gen. Wood
is a statesman rather than a soldier.
This is exemplified in his latest de.
cree, in which he softens the harsh
and abrupt rules of the military
regime and aims to stimulate civil
procedure, as well as to avoid any
confusion between the military and
the civil authorities
