Status Of Indian Tribes.
THE political status Of native In
dian tribes within territory acquired
by the United States by treaty has
been uniformly regarded as unaffected
by the cession. "A long line of special
treaties with such tribes, and numer-
Gus acts of legislation by Congress on
the subject of Indians and Indian

always been regarded as Quasi-for-

The status fixed. he said, has not

this practice is entirely at variance

ceded territory is ceded to the United
States the inhabitants Immediately be-

NEW YORK. Dec. IA dispatch

London says:
Cardinal Vaughan has issued a pas
toral letter on the subject of Chinese
massacres, declaring that the political
encroachments of European powers
especially Germany and Russia. are
largely. responsible for the recent up.
risings. The Cardinals letter is sup
posed to be inspired by the Vatican.
He says:
While the social upheaval of China
was primarily revolt against Christ

reused into activity by the encroach.

The murder of two German mis-

pretext- for the seizure by Germany
shows how well the soil was prepared
even antecedently, for the causes emu
merated for the more extensive move
ments that followed.
The danger to which Christians in
China are likely to be exposed in con-
sequence of foreign aggression. is
thoroughly realized by those interest
ed in missions. and was pointed out
in one of our church magazines as far
back as May. 1898.
THE action of Germany in seeking

Suggests Slice Of Alaska.

LONDON, Dec. 17.-Discussing the
attitude of the United States Senate
relative to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty,
the Westminster Gazette says today
that it is perfectly natural that the
United States should desire to enact
guarantees against the use of the Mic
aragua canal by an enemy in the event
of war. The article in question de-
clares that because America desires
a concession that is not sufficient rea-
son for making 1t without being given
an equivalent in return. and suggests
that "a way out of the difficulty is to
settle the vexatious Alaskan boundary
against the abrogation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty" ..
