MISLEADING INDIAN REPORT.
Spotted Tail, Dead In Paris, France
Was Not the Famous sioux Chief
of This Name.

The report from Paris of the death
of Spotted Tail, the Sioux Indian, is
misleading, the real chieftain of this
name having been murdered in cold
blood by Crow Dog, cowardly rene
gade, nearly 20 years ago.
At the time of Spotted Tails death
he was about to depart for Washington
to attend an important conference as
the representative of the Sioux nation.
Spotted Tail was born somewhere in
the Republican river country and was
IS years of age at the time of his death.
On one occasion the chief is said to
have captured stage coach, mur-
dered the passengers and secured S.
900. For this offense he was sentenced
to death, but was pardoned by Presi-
dent Buchanan. Many anecdotes are
told of his influence over his people and
of his oratory and wit.
His daughter is said to have died Of
a broken heart because of an army Of
ficer's failure to return her affections
She besoughi her father on her dying
bed to remain at peace with the whites.
This request is supposed to have ac-
counted for the chiefs amiab bility in his
later GAYS.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
One-Third of the state of Montana Is
Claimed by the Blackfeet In
dian Nation.

The chief and head men of the Black
feet Indian nation held a council on
the reservation few days ago, a re-
port of which has just been brought
in, to consider series of old griev-
ances against the government, growing
out of the alleged frauds and misrepre-
sen,ations in various treaties and the
violation on the part of the government
of the treaty 4 1855. by which over &C.,
100000 acre. of land were taker from
the Indians In 1874 without compensa-
ton. The lndianes have retained Chan
cellor Charles O'Donnell, of Butte. to
. prosecute their claim.
Speaking for the Indians, r. j. Ham,
ilton. a full-blooded Blackfeet, grad
uate of Carlisle, said that in 1855 the
government entered into a treaty with
the Blackfest, Flatheads, Piegans, Gors-
ventre, Teton. Assiniboine. River Crows,
Bloods, Santee and Yaktonai Sioux, by
which the Indians were given 99-year
grant to all the territory now in Mon
tana and lying north and west of the
Yellowstone river. Nineteen years
later, without consent of the Indians,
congress took from them about a.
100000 acres and confined them to their
present narrow reservation. 1t is also
alleged that in subsequent treaties, by
which half their territory was en-
croached upon and their rights made
more limited. the government COM
mission, with the aid of corrupt in
terpreters, made Misrepresentation to
them and defrauded them and they
are now going to seek redress in the
white mans court.
The land out of which they claim they
were defrauded and for which they
want compensation comprises nearly a
third of the entire area of the state of
! Montana

WOULD DROP "GRADUATIONS. "
superintendent Nightingale of Chi
caGo Is Against the Time
H0nOred Custom.

If DR.. A. F. Nightingale, superintend-
sent of public high schools of Chicago
succeeds in an undertaking he has be-
gun, graduations from Chicago high
schools will soon be numbered among
the things that have been. DR.. Nightin-
gale has forwarded communication to
every high school council in the city,
asking the members to consider the ad-
visibility of changing the present sys-
tenn by which pupils take four years
course in certain studies and then grad
uate. He recommends the, substitu-
tion of plan by which pupils would
choose the studies they liked best,
spend about 1900 hours mastering such
studies and then quietly quit work. DR..
Nightingale said:
''The old custom of going through a
regular grind and then graduating in
the presence of admiring relatives and
friends, in my opinion, has served its
day. Let us have a system that will
give pupils thorough training in such
studies as they may select and drop this
annual sailing out upon the ocean of
life Let pupils start in when they can
and leave when they finish the course

CAN HE GIVE FEDERAL .ArDa
Unless 1t Becomes Necessary to
Enforce q Decree.

Washington, Jan. 2s.--There will be
no federal interference in Kentucky
unless the situation should SO change
as to involve the necessity of enforo-
ing decree of United States court.
No such factor enters into the situa-
tion at present. The president has no
constitutional authority to send fed
eral troops to Kentucky, the legisla-
ture now being in session, unless the
request for federal aid came from the
legislature, and as that is Goebel
body, 1t is not to be supposed that it
would ask for United States soldiers
to overturn it's own decisions.
The significant wording of the
clause of the constitution under which
it originally was thought federal aid
might be demanded by the friends of
Gov. Taylor has been considered by
President Mckinley. The president,
fully understands that, as the consti-
tuition now stands, he has no author
ity to send troops to Kentucky, nor,
save to enforce the decree of United
States court. would he have any such
authority unless the demand came
from the Legislature.
Should Gov. Taylor, in the event
that he is unseated, take his case be-
fore the federal courts upon the
ground that his constitutional privi-
leges are abridged, as he might do un-
der the fourteenth amendment, and
should the federal courts sustain his
contention, then, of course, the whole
power of the government would be
used to enforce the decree of the
courts.

HOME CHANCES TOO GREAT.
Commercial Openings In Philippinea
Not Sufficient to Attract A.-erican
Capital or Business Men.

Oscar F. Williams, ex-consul at Ma
nila, speaking of the mercantile OPP
portunities opened in the orient, said:
ITO be candid with the American
people. and especially the American
investor, must express the opinion
that development along commercial
lines in the Philippines is not likely
to attract American men and capi-
talists to any great extent. In
Europe young men who cannot find
work at home go out largely to the
orient and take with them the sur
plus capital of European states. 1t ia
easy for Europeans to add another
link in their chain of enterprises and
establish an agency, but if you had
$4,000 or 100000, you would rather
put it in some enterprise quickened by
the Spanish war than send it far from
home to one with whom you could not
daily confer. Our young men are well
employed at home, and get better
wages than the Europeans in the
orient. If we send young men
abroad, they are likely to be those
whom the business men OF New York
have not put their hands on and
marked par excellence.
I'm regard to the open door, the
world recognizes that wherever our
flag floats justice has been ordained
to exist. There is no more fear for
the commerce of other nations in the
Philippine islands than in Boston OF
New York, for the whole world is on
its knees to-day praying for peace
with the United States"

Capt. j. T. Matthews called at the
customhouse at Baltimore, Nd, and
unfolded 'get-rich-quick" scheme.
He is the owner Of the sloop Ella c.,

He said that some time ago he discov-
cred gold at certain part of the shores
of the Chesapeake bay. not more than

mine it and ge, rich right away. he
said he had rugged up compete smelt-
ing furnace aboard the sloop and in
tended TO get cargo OF the ore, and
then 60 to some quiet nook and anchor
while be turned it into gold. Then he
would throw the dross overheard and
go back after more ore and do some
more smelling. When he gets the sloop
loaded with pigs of'pure gold-of which
she will carry about 30 tons, he intends
to sail up to Baltimore and astonish the
natives.

PROTECTED BY LAW.
Status Of American Wives Of
Frenchmen a Peculiar One.
women Deserted By Their Husban ds
Can Compel Them to Pay ALI
mony-Not Easy to Escape
Obligations.

According to q dispatch received at
the state department from Am bassador
Porter, at Paris, American women who
have become the wives Of Frenchmen,
and subsequently have been deserted,
have peculiar status before the law
Of France.
The French law of marriage pro-
vides that marriages contracted by
French citizens in foreign countries are
valid If celebrated according to the
forms habitual in those countries, pro-
viding they conform to the require
ments of the French code with respect
to age, prior marriage, kin ship, paren-
tai consent and consent of the parties.
If, however, these formalites have been
disregarded, the deserted wife still can
claim recognition If she was 22 years
of age, and her husband 25, at the time
of the marriage, and If there was no
manifest intention to evade the provi-
sion Of the French law. Under these
conditions the alliance would be known
by the courts as putative marriage,
the effect of which would be, notwith-
standing the invalidity of the marriage,
to give the wife the status of legally
married woman, and the children the
right to bear the name of the father.
They could also inherit the fathers
estate. The French law would further
give the putative wife the right of ali
mony, and would enable her TO enforce
such claim, not only against her hus-
band, but in the event of his inability
against his relatives.
An American wife of a French hus-
band who has proved unfaithful, there
fore, is properly protected by the law
of France, and the husband is released
from none of his obligations. If he
should, under the circumstances, re.
marry in France, he would be liable tc
sentence for bigamy in the courts OF
his own land, if it could but be shown
he was over 25 years of age at the time
OF his first marriage, and had entered
into that contract in good faith.

ETHER WAVE.
New Device to Steer TOrpedOes and
Submarine boats Is Tested In
England.

Lieut.. Commander Colwell, the
United States navl attache in London,
witnessed at Yoevil the test of an in
vention offered to the United States
government for steering torpedoes and
submarine craft by means of a wireless
electrical device. on the lines of the
Marconi system.
The invention, however, is in no way
conencted with Signor Marconi. The
patents are held by Cecil Varicas, an
English inventor, as employe of A. c.
Higgs. United States consular agent at
Weymouth.
The experiments left no doubt that
craft can be directed by means of an
ether wave. the model being controlled
by shore motor with no other conne0-
tion save the current working upon the
rudder. The inventor claims that this
can be applied to torpedoes and sub
marine craft.

SNATCHED FROM THE GRAVE.
Woman Supposed to BE Dead
Saved from Burial in Strange
Manner.

Mrs. Ellen Crosby has had narrow
escape from being buried alive in Craw-
ford county, Ind. She had been pro-
nounced dead and preparations for the
burial had been made. While this was
in progress her daughter, 10 years old,
worn out by exhaustion, lay down to
rest, but her eyes had scarcely closed
before she sprang up, exclaiming: mo,
no." After reaching her mothers room
she kept repeating: "No, no; ! won't"
and peremptorily insisted that her
mothers body be returned to the bed.
She remarked that her mother had
called to her in her sleep, saying:
"Mary, don't let the II bury me alive.
Oh, don't"
The undertaken complied with the
daughters request, saying it was but
a dream, but the daughter stoutly
claimed the contrary, and would not
be denied. Nearly eight hours passed,
when Mrs. Crosby slowly opened her
eyes and looked at her daughter, who
had remained by her bedside, constant
ly watching for a return of life. The
daughter then spoke to her, asking:
'Molher, how do you feel?" and the
reply came: Very well, but very
weak"
After a few minutes silence, the
mother said: MARY, told everyone in
the room that l was not dead, but they
could not hear me. They did not lis
ten like you, my child"
Mrs. Crosby within 12 hours was
able to sit up in bed, and she is now
considered in fair way of recovery.

A GEM OF AN ISLE.

of a Visit to Guam.
Says the Island VIII Return a Hun
dredfoid for All That Is Put
Into H-Hieh Praise for the
Governor,

Capt. McCalla, commanding the Unit
ed States steamship Newark, has writ
ten a letter to the chief of the bureau
of navigation, in which he makes the
following statements:
"On our way across the Pacific l
found it necessary to stop at Guam
for the purpose of coaling. The island
is a very beautiful and fertile one, and
in the governor and his assistant, SAT-
ford, you seem to have selected the
right men for the places. All the Off
GERS at the station are doing their ut
most to improve the condition of the
people and in obtaining information
which will make it better known. |
feel sure that the governor is excep-
tionally well fitted for the position,
and that his administration will bring
great credit to the navy department
and will be satisfactory to the country.
"As a sanitary measure, the neces-
sity of piping water from the noun
tains to Agana and the adjoining vii
lagos is pressing. By such an improve
ment the shallow wells, all of them
contaminated, could be filled in and
the health of the natives would be i'm
proved.
"Could you have seen four natives
splitting sticks of timber with two
handled saws, as ! did, am convinced
you would have bought steam saw
with money out of your own pocket and
dispatched il to Guam by the first con-
veyance..
Looking at the question from pure
ly commercial point of view, feel sat
isfied that every dollar spent by the
govern ment on the island of Guam will
be returned to our country hundred
fold.
"If smiling faces on the part of all
whom we saw, as the governor drove
from the landing at Pitt to the capi.
tai and return, were an indication of
contentment and satisfaction with the
methods recently adopted on the is.
land, then am certain that The new ad-
ministration is already most success.

MANIAC RUNS ELEVEN MILES
ThoaEht Evil Spirits Were Relent-
Iessiy Pursuing Him ana Swan
River.

Under the delusion that evil spirits
were pursuing him, Peter Marini ran
II miles the other afternoon. bare.
footed. over stones and frozen ground,
finally dropping by the roadside ex-
hausted. He was found by Charles
Schwartz and brought to the county
Jail at Jetfersonville, Ind, where he is
now a raving maniac. At lucid inter-
walls Marini told story that stamps
him as insane on religious matters. He
is fine-looking fellow, and was dressed
well before his mad fight. By trade
he is furnace-maker, of st. Louis.
While still in St. Louis the halluci-
nation seized him that he was pos
sessed of evil spirits, and he made his
way to New Albany without special in
cident, and then he started on foot in
the direction of Jeffersonville. Reach
ing Silver creek, he imagined that the
stream was filled with blood, and that
the devils were seizing him. Stricken
with terror, he threw off his shoes and
plunged into the stream to rid himself
of the devils. and came near drowning.
Reaching the opposite shore, he started
TO run, not knowing which way he went.
His path led him around that city, and
east of Port Fulton he struck the
Utica pike. By this time blood was
flowing from a hundred cuts in his
feet and ankles. His face and hands
were lacerated, and his clothing was
torn by the briars and brush through
which he had passed. Just before reach
ing Utica he feA in front of Mr.. Swartz'
home. The distance is fully II miles by
direct route. He was still helpless
when brought to the Jail. but medi
cal attention was given him. and he
rallied sufficiently to become partially
rational at times. 1t is believed that
the exposure and severe strain on his
nerves will result fatally.
