TWO THOUSAND CONPL ANTS
against Non-Citizens Who Occupy
Indians Land Rent Free.
GET POSSESSION AND STAY.

Washin gton, Nov. Omitted States
Indian Agent Shoenfelt, in charge of
the Union agency, hose jurisdiction
comprises the five civilized tribes, pro-
tests in his annual report against I'M
lawful occupation of the Indian lands
and urges rigid congressional legisla-
ton to protect the Indian citizen
against the encroachment of aggressive
and grasping whites Of 1000 com
plants fled against non-citizens in the
oast fiscal year, large majority were
against white men who in the past had
ntruded themselves upon the Indians
and had gained their confidence to a
iegree to secure possession of their
allotments. and, after having secured
possession, refused either to pay rent
or to vacate, thus preventing the In
dians from receiving any rents or
profits therefrom. Many of the In
,lians are too poor to in titute suit for
possession and, therefore are left help
less.
The total population of the Five Civ
ilized tribes" is estimated at s4,75O,
comprising 2O.25O Choctaws and freed
men, TO- 500 Chickasaws and freedmen,
l6, 600 Creeks and freedmen, $4,000
Cherokees and freedmen and 8 200 Sem
inoles, and their lands comprise a total
OF 10, 776, 2s6 acres.
The agent says that there is now
every reason to believe that the Indian
depredations and disturbances in the
five tribes regions are at an end.
A few fuIlblooded Creeks are strenu-
ously opposing the allotments of lands
and have banded together and refuse
to appear to select their allotments.
A large majority of the Creeks, how-
ever, have made selections. The re-
port recommends that Congress appro-
pirate out of the Cherokee funds a
sufficient amount to pay the indebted
ness of the nation; that a law be
passed compelling the five tribes to
adopt a uniform system of taxing non
citizens residing and doing business
in the limits of their nation, and that
a workhouse or reformatory be estab-
lished.

HEAVY DAILY CASUALTIES.

London, Nov. 5.-The South African
situation is improving and Lord Rob-
erts will shortly return to England
with a majority of his staff. Arrange
ments are being made in Cape Town to
send the first batch of refugees back to
johannesburg and accommodation is

less, the activity of the Beers continues

burg, but afterwards released them
Trains from the south to Pretoria are

General Knox has inflicted a reverse on
General Dewett's forces near Parys,
capturing two guns, one of them a
weapon lost by the British in Sanna's
Post affair. The daily tale of British
casualties is heavy. During the month
of October the British lost 1877 killed in
action, including is officers, II wound
ed, 231 died of wounds, 21 died Of acct
dents and q captured or missing. a
total almost equal to the monthly av-
erage for the duration of the war.

Hawaii.s Laws Still in Force.

Honolulu, via San Francisco, Nov.
Omitted States District Junge Estee
has rendered decision to the effect
that 1.-The constitution does not follow
the flag" in an important libel case
that has been before the courts here
for some time.
Judge Estee held that the laws of
Hawaii allowing conviction of defend
ants upon a verdict by nine jurors we're
still in force at the time of MaTshall's
trial, which was long after the passage
of the resolution anncxing Hawaii to
the Union. The judge said that Hawaii
before being annexed was free en-
ightened state, possessing all the at
tributes of sovereignty and when the
islands were annexed to the United
States, not only the lands but the peo-
pie, with their laws and customs, were
annexed, and, by the well established
law of nations, these laws and customs
remained in force until new laws were
enacted for the government Of the ter

rhreo Ear ReacbIue Ouest,on.,

Washington, Nov. Cit was stated
in quarters we'll versed in Chinese
affairs, that outside of the questions of
indemnity, punishments, etc, now
under negotiation at Pekin, there are
three vital and far reaching questions
to be determined, viz: First, the re-
moval of the Empress Dowager per-
sonally and through the influence OF
her advisers, from all participation in
the Chinese government; second, the
creation of an indemnity fund, by the
increase of Chinese customs. AS the
Empress Dowager was the ruling au-
thority of the imperial government
during the uprising. this responsibility
is brought home directly to her. There
is understood to be no purpose, how
ever, to visit upon her any personal
punishment or indignity, but merely
to so form the reconstructed govern
ment as to exclude her from all partici
patton in it.
The plan OF substituting a minister
of foreign affairs in place OF the tsung
Ii yamen, has long been in contempla'
tion, as foreign representatives have
found it very difficult to deal with this
mixed body and to fix responsibility
upon it, particularly during the boxer
troubles

That Santa Fe Lumber Line.

Topeka. Nov. 6.-The largest tract
OF forest now remaining in the United
States is the long-leaf pine district in
Southern Texas. The Gulf, Beaumont
& Kansas City railway, recently ac-
quired by the Santa Fe system, runs
through the heart of this great tract
and derives an immense traffic from
the numerous mills. The territory
tributary to the Santa Fe system east
of the Becky mountrins and north of
Texas is comparatively barren of for
ests, and the demand ia this region for
the Texas lumber is large and in

New York, Nov. 5-On the authority
of an intimate friend of the late Jay
Gould. the Evening World announces
that the debts of Count Boni De Cas-
tellane will be paid N full by the

1.-THE scandal attending the claims

adds, 1.-THE lump sum probably will be
contributed by George, Helen, Howard,
Edwin and Frank Gould to wipe out
these debts, as they consider the honor
of the Gould family is involved. -

buying Was RESTRICTED.
But Longing For Free Field To
Leap Forward.
NUMEROUS BRIDGES ABROAD.

New York, Nov. 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly report says that business
has been longing for a free field in
which to leap forward, but restricted
buying largely to wants for immediate
consumption. Some evidence appears
of willingness to take speculative
chances in the movement Of a few
standard goods, notably of iron and
steel The actual resumption of oper-
ations in the anthracite coal fields has
added largely to the working force.
and closing down of few small steel
plants, is only in the nature of con
centrating operations at more advan-
tageous points, and has not much
reduced the number Of men employed
The weather in some sections has
favored business but at New York it
has been unreasonable, accounting for
the decrease of 12.1 per cent in bank
clearings here compared with last
year, though the week shows gain Of
90 per cent over 1898
Encouraging signs multiply in the
iron industry. Improvement in do
mestic buying of pig is the more
noticeable because of decrease in e1-
ports. Structural shapes continue In
urgent request, plates advancing with
active demand from shipbuilders and
with talk of a pool TO sustain the
price. Bar iron would sell readily at
| former prices, but holders grow stub
born Reports are current that Amer
can concerns have contracted for
machine shops in Bremen and numer-
Gus bridges abroad, including some in
! Africa
Full forces are employed at New
England shoe shops and heavy orders
/ insure brisk work for the rest of the
year. Prices have not advanced for
the finished articles with leather and
hides.
Textile operations are more vigorous,
sales OF wool at the three chief eastern
markets exceeding all recent records,
with a total of 7,sO4, 500 pounds
With the greater activity there appears
a tendency toward firmer prices, and
100 grades on November 1, averaged
1885 cents, according to Coates Broth
rs of Philadelphia.
