Perhaps the most amazing feature OF

sympathized with England may well
begin TO doubt the justice Of her cause

The representatives of the British
Government do not deny that concen-

and that the mortality has been very
great. They admit the facts and seek

LONE WOLF STILL LIGHTING.
The Pale Faces, However, Secure
Another Judicial Victory.

The Court of Appeals for the District
yesterday denied the application of Lone
Wolf and others, representing the con-
federated tribes of Kiowa, Apache, and
Comanche Indians, for an appeal from
the decision OF Justice Bradley. of the
Supreme Court Of the District. refusing
to grant their petition to restrain the Cow
ernment from opening up certain lands in
Oklahoma Territory for settlement. The
petition OF the Indians was presented TO
Justice Bradley about two weeks ago and
argument was heard in support of it by
William NJ. Springer and against it by
Willis Van Devanter, Assistant Attorney
General.
\ special session of the Court of Appeals
was held yesterday in order to hear the
arguments on the application for a spe-
ciaI appeal. When Mr.. Springer entered
the courtroom he was accompanied by
Lone Wolf. Eshitie. White Buffalo, 10
Koy Todle, Mar Mo Car Wer, Nerwats,
Toowi Car Ne, William Tivis, Delos L. X.
Lone Wolf. and others Of the confeder-
ated tribes who came to Washington to
press their claims for the possession Of
the land which they contend is theirs by
treaty and which the Government has 10
right to throw open for settlement.
The text of the decision Of the Court Of
Appeals. which suggests that an appeal
may be taken to the Supreme Court of the
United States, is as follows:
This application for the allowance OF
special appeal from the order of the court
below refusing to grant preliminary IN
junction or restraining order, upon the
ALLEGATIONS of the bill. has been very fully
arlsued by counsel for the respective par
ties and we have only considered tie ap-
piication.
The conclusion TO which we have ar
rived from the argument is that the case
is rot such as viii justify the special
apveal prayed, but the case should be
DISPOSED OF by q final decree from which
an appeal may be taken in regular course.
and from the decree OF this court an ap-
peal may be taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States. The great object
in obtaining a preliminary Injunction is
to prevent Immediate action by the eXecu-
tive department. but We suppose that such
reasonable delay may be obtained as VIII

fairgrounds for Children.

Major Sylvester, vino has evidently
sot forgotten the time when he himself
Eas a boy. has earnestly recommended
that some measures be taken to secure
to the youngsters of this city proper
Fairgrounds. He declares that boys
driven from pillar to post in seeking
Fairgrounds or places for recreation
too often find quiet IN the pool and card
rooms. and the natural consequence Of
this development is more cases for the
police court.
This is rather a serious problem for
the police. They do not enjoy arresting
boys of tender years, nor do the msgis-
trates wish to sentence such youthful
prisoners TO jail or compel their par
ents. often decent and hard working
people. to pay fines. The policeman gen
orally remembers his own boyhood
days. and If, as frequently happens, he
is a kindly man. he keeps one eye shut
on the side toward the place which the
boys have chosen for their playground,
even If they have no business to be
there. Nobody can blame him much
for this. SO long as the youngsters do
no harm: and yet it is not desirable
that children should be brought up to
disregard the rights Of property. There
was a great outcry in New York not
long ago over the case Of two boys who
We're arrested for picking roses in a
private garden. but II is easy 70 see that
unless there were some law against
that sort Of trespass nobody could have
a private garden in city. The theory
that nobody has a right to grow roses
because everybody cannot pick them
clearly leads 10 the idea that nobody
has a right TO private property at all.

The Plague There May Cause Gen

Adyices that the bubonic plague has
again appeared at Honolulu were re
ceived yesterday at the War Department
from General Shafter, who telegraphed as
follows:
Major Blair D. Taylor. Medical De
partment Honolulu. reports four deaths
from bubonic plague at Honolulu from
May % to June 9, inclusive. His report
stated that the Honolulu Board of Health
have taken every precaution in segregat-
ing inhabitants of the infected houses and
in disinfecting and the president of that
board believes he has the situation well
in hand"
General Shafter added that the trans
port Hancock, which left San Francisco
yesterday, was scheduled to stop at
Honolulu for coal. He enquired whether,
in view of this statement the War De-
partment desired any change made in the
Hancock's schedule. In reply General
Shafter was directed to confer with Adju-
tant General Corbin, in San Francisco,
regarding any change in the Hancock 5
schedule.
General Corbin arrived i'm San Francisco

telegraphed the department. announcing
his arrival, and reporting all of his party

TO ASK FOR FREE TRADE.
Governor Allen to Bring Porto RicO's
Request Here.

Word has been received here that Gov
ernor Allen. of Porto Rico, expects TO
bring to Washington the joint resolution
of the Porto Rican Assembly declaring
that enough revenues to make the insular
government seIf-supporting have been
provided, and to lay it before President
Mckinley, who will then issue a procla-
nation announcing that free trade exists
between Porto Rico and the United States.
The Legislature will meet on July / in
special session and will proceed immed-
iutely to the consideration Of the resolu-
tion.
In tie period of little more than a
year since Governor Allen has been in
Porto Rico, a civil government, complete
in all it's departments, has been estab-
Iished and is running smoothly, and
financial affairs have been so arranged
and put into operation that the insular
administration is self-supporting. Advices
from Porto Rico show that the fiscal year,
which win end on June 3O will be COM

COUNT CASSINI SAILS.
Does Not Fear Serious Results From
the Tariff Controversy.

NEW YORK. June 25.-Among the pas
sengers who sailed today on the Kaiser
Wilhelm Der Crosse was Count Arthur
Cassini the Russian Ambassador.
In making a statement concerning the
trade relations between Russia and this
country Count Cassini said that one of
the first things he expected TO do IN Rus
STA was to consult with NJ De Witte, the
Minister of Finance, on the recent tariff
misunderstanding" between the two coun-
tries. There was no danger In his Opin-
ion, the count said, that Russia would
impose high duty on our agricultural
machinery in retaliation for the high duty
on Russian petroleum.
The so-caIled conflict said Count Cas-
sini, lis really an insignificant matter,
but it would be a pity to have our ex-
ceptionaliy friendly relations disturbed in
the remoteSt manner. Frankly speaking,
l think the whole trouble has originated
on this side. of the ocean. Our Finance
Minister has declared that Russia does
not pay any bounty to her producers of
sugar yet 1t was said here that the sit
uation left o ne in doubt and that in order
to give the American people the benefit of
the doubt a high duty was imposed on
imported Russian sugar.
In point Of fact. the benefit of this So
called doubt is of rather questionable ma
ture. for should commercial war be-
tween the two countries occur-which is
hardly Iikely-ft is this country which has
a great deal to lose and nothing to gain.
Russian exports TO this country amount
only to S3,000,050, while the United States
sends goods worth many millions to Rus
sid. OF course, If Russia were hard put to
it, she could get her goods from Germany.
but would it be desirable, from the com
merciaI point of view. that Germany
should gain strong commercial footing
when our trade Iegitimately belongs TO
the United States.
II have no doubt that proper under
standing VIII come before any serious
trouble arises. 1t is TO be deplored that
all this should have happened at a time
when everything seemed to point to
reciprocity between the two countries. 1t
is within bounds to expect that the United
States should meet Us halfway. particu-
larly in yiew of the great benefits to be
| reaped by American Industries from the
opening OF the Siberian Railway.
Count Cassini said with considerable
emphasis that the diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries were of the very
best and that the policy of the two coun-
tries in China had been identical. These
| relations. he said. would be even more
cordial in the future.
Count Cassini is going first to Paris
where he Will remain month. He will
then go to St Petersburg and expects tc
return to Washington in the middle OF
September.

DEBATING NAVAL PROBLEMS.

NEWPORT, r. l.. June 25-The General
Board of the Navy began its sessions at
the War College today and viii continue
its labors for several days, the sessions
to be secret. The members of the board
were received at the training station this
morning with the customary salute.
The board has charge of general ques-
tions of policy and of naval strategy and
its assembling will be in connection with
the strategic problems before the Naval
War College. This year the problems are
of more than usual interest and they will
receive practical application by the pres
ence of ships of the North Atlantic Squad
ron The problem involved relates to the
approach of a foreign squadron and its
efforts to gain admission to one Of the
large harbors along the coast, probably
Narragansett Bay in this instance.
Aside from the strategy it Is said that
there will be much practical advantage in
determining with what accuracy the pas
sage of fleet of naval ships in the dark

RAILWAY RATES BLAMED.
The Attendance mt the Buffalo Elk

BUFFALO. n. Y. June 25.-On account
of the sports of the American Canoe As
sociation the water gate to the exposition
was used by more persons today tnan
ever before. The attendance is slowly
creeping up on account of the number Of
conventions held here, but it does not
get above 4O.G30 daily. and this is not at
all satisfactory to the exposition man
agement. who believe that the one obsta-
Gle to success is the high railway rates.
The railroads, moving in a community of
interest have not met the ideas Of the
exposition people, who feel that it costs
the West and South too much to get TO
Buffalo. Lower rates are promised in
August. The primary objection of the
roads to low excursion tickets is that
they cannot issue a ticket that will not
be "scalped." In spite of all their private
detective agencies and other precautions
the cut-rate men are doing a fourishing
business. and expect a decided victory
when the higher courts pass on the con-
stitutionality of the new law of ticket
scalpfng. The railway officials insist that
their New York-Chicago and New YORK
St Louis business is demoralized by the
special Pan-American tickets.
