The ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
Action on the Bill to Appropriate $4,000
900 Delayed to See Whether st. Louis
Has Raised 100000

Washington, Jan. 3O.-The special
house committee on the St. Louis ex-
position has postponed final action
upon the bill to appropriate $4,000, 900
for the exposition until Friday, by
which time it is expected that the
secretary of the treasury will have
been able to certify officially to the
fact that the citizens of st. Louis
have raised the $10,OOO,OOOO which was
to be condition precedent to the ap-
preparation of the $5,OOOOOO by con-
gresS. A certification of this char
acter would somewhat simplify the
bill which the house will be asked to
pass. Instead of making an appropria-
ton conditional upon subsequently
satisfying the secretary of the treas
ury that the fund of $1OOOO,OOO had
been raised If the secretary of the
treasury is satisfied in advance the ap-
preparation can be made direct. The
committee is fully convinced that the
money has been raised and no trouble
is anticipated in securing proof salts
factory to the secretary of the treas

OUR CONSULAR REPORTS.


Washington, Jan. 3O.-The presi.
dent yesterday transmitted to the
senate communication from the Sec
rotary of state accompanying the
annual report upon the foreign rela-
lions of the United States. The
president himself takes advantage Of
the opportunity to express his COM
mendation of the consular reports.
He says in his message of Transmits
tai:
"The advance in the general eff.
cheney of our consular service in pro-
noting trade, which was noted in my
message of March 1, 1900, transmit.
ting the reports for 1899, was even
more marked last year. The prompt
tude with which the consul reports
were printed and distributed, the
generous recognition which is being
increasingly accorded by our business
interests to the practical value of
their efforts for enlarging trade, and
the continued testimony of competent
foreign authorities to the general su.
periority of their commercial work,
have naturally had a stimulating eff
feet upon the consular corps as
whole, and experience in the dis
charge of their duties adds greatly to
their efficiency. 1t is gratifying to
be able to state that the improvement
in the service, following closely upon
the steady progress in expediting the
publication of reports, has enabled
the department of state this year to
submit the annual reports month
in advance of the usual time and to
make them as nearly as possible a
contemporaneous picture of the trade
of the world
The president concurs in the Sec
retary's recommendation for the
printing of additional copies of the
publication.

Manila, Jan. 3O.-Dr. Kruger, the
German consul general here, has
cabled to the Berlin government ask
ing that the German ambassador at
Washington be instructed to diplomat
ically urge the passage of the Spooner
bill. Buencamino and some of the
other Filipino leaders in Manila have
about decided to become Protestants
and are considering the organization
OF an Evangelical church. In an in
terview yesterday Buencamino said he
had learned that the pope had de-
cided to restore the friars to their
former position in the Philippines and
Ruencamino added that the Filipinos
would not submit to that and the eff
feet would be that they will shortly
leave the Catholic church in great
numbers.

May Call an Extra Session,

Washington, Jan. 30.-At the cabi
net meeting yesterday such informa
ton as was at hand bearing upon the
provisions of the Cuban constitution
was discussed at length and the opin.
ion was expressed that the completed
document would reach Washington
about February Is, when it will be
placed before congress. It is known
that the president regards prompt ac-
ton in this matter as of very great
Importance. The need for prompt ac-
ton on the Spooner Philippines bill
is regarded as scarcely less urgent and
the statement is made that in the
event of the failure of either of these
measures to receive the considera-
tlon of congress an extra session is
almost inevitable.

THE INDIAN TROUBLE
Crazy Snakes Alleged Authority
as to the Old Creek Laws.
DISTURBANCE IN CHOCTAW NATION.
ohectaws sim Determined to Garry Out
Old Laws-Delegates Of the Muscogee
Nation ut Washington Issue
an Address.

Nuscogee, |. T., Jan. 3O.-Crazy
Snakes alleged federal authority tc
resume the old Creek laws, which he
used in pursuading his ignorant fol-
lowers TO rebel against the Curtis act
was revealed yesterday when Indian
Agent Shoenfeldt and Tams Bixby, q
member of the Dawes commission, re-
turned from visit to the Choctaw
nation. At South McAlester they Sc
cured the following letter from the
interior department.:
washington, Oct. II, 1900. Chltto
Harjo, Wetumka, |. T.-Dear Sir: In
answer to your inquiry regarding the
enforcing of the treaties will state
that every section contained in them
will be enforced to the letter. (Signed)
Thomas Ryan, Acting Secretary"
This, with other letters of q similar
nature from Washington officials,
shown by the Indian chief to the dis
gruntled Creeks and Choctaws, wn-
doubtedly started the present trou-
bic. Harjo led the Indians to believe
that the acting secretary referred to
the old Indian treaties and not to the
Dawes commission agreement, and the
Indians readily believed him.
Messrs. Shoenfeldt and Bixby learned
that the Snake band among the Choc-
faws, who recently depo4d Gov.
Duke, intend to install Daniel Rel as
their new governor within few days.
Gov. Duke, the Indians assert, has no
right to interfere with the enforce
ment of the old treaties, Agent Sheen
feldt will go to Atoka to use his best
Efforts in the matter.
II now seems that since the soldiers
have begun their work in the Creek
patton that disturbance is likely to
break out in the Choctaw nation
Commissioner Bixby, who drove out
IL miles from South McAlester and
Interviewed Daniel Bell, learned from
the latter that the Choctaws are still

2 Delegates Issue an Address.
Washington, Jan. 3O.-Delegates Of
She Muscogee nation in this city yes
tsrday issued an address to citizens
Of the nation relative to disturbances
IN the Indian territory saying that
they were confident that the treaty
now pending and in conference would |
b ratified by congress in a short
time, and that such amendments will |
be agreed to as will meet the wishes
and promote the interests Of their
people. The address then goes on to |
cay: while passing from communal |
titles to individual holdings of our
landed estate, there must OF neces-
sity result some hardships, but such
hardships will not be allevated, but
increased, by disregard of peaceful
methods. However much some of our
people are opposed to allotment of our
lands, the policy of the government
of the United States in that direction
10 finally fixed, and the majority of
our people have accepted the inevi-
table with uerfect GOOD faith and are
now prepared for the change as soon
as It can possibly be brought about,
assured that the welfare, happiness
and prosperity of our people will be
promoted thereby
