AS VIEWED IN KANSAS.
The Kiowa Opening Protest Said TO be
Due to Interested Cattlemen.

Topeka, Kans., May 2s.-The re-
ports printed day or two ago in
which it was alleged that the opening
OF the new Indian country was to be
delayed, are not believed by those
best situated TO understand such
matters.
In the press dispatches it was
stated that Lone Wolf, an Indian
chief. had made threats that the
country should not be opened to the
whites at the expected time. If this
Indian chief is correctly represent
ed, Il is probable that he has made a
statement which he will not be able
to sustain. For IL i not likely that
the United States government has
endeavored to hasten matters any
by violation of an Indian treaty.
The authorities in Washington and
a great number OF white settlers who
have been in the Kiowa and Conan
che country for years are to be cred
tied with better judgment than any
such charge would justify. Further
more, a prominent attorney has ex-
pressed 1t as his opinion that II
would be impossible for the Indians
to secure any means whereby the
government could be restrained
from opening the lands TO settle
ment.
On the other hand no faith is
placed in the genuiness of the report
regarding Lone Wolfe. Rather it il
believed that this story has been
started without any foundation what
ever more than the cattle kings
could give it. These cattlemen are
almost vitally interested in the open
ing OF this new territory. BY it they
are TO be deprived of thousands o.
acres of the best range country il
the world which was heretofore useC
by them for grazing purposes, with
little or no expense. Hence 1t is no
surprising that the news of allotment
and finally occupancy bv the whites
is not a matter of great rejoicing tC
them. Thus it happened whether
true or not that the stockmen ar,
getting the credit for the rumo
printed in recent papers regard
ing a probable delay of from ont
to three years more.
The work of preparing for tn,
opening this summer is going on tn,
same as ever, according to latest re
ports. The corps of Rock Islant
surveyors which has been at worl
making the re-survey of the lands a
last reports was expected to finisl
the task somewhere near the first o
JuI e, fer wi h the other prelimi
uaries for the opening are to b.
cleared up within the next tw,
months. This event is being watch
ed by great many people over IN
country, and especially here in Kan
sas. To such an announcement tha
there is not likely to be any delay il
throwing open these lands is wei
come as following the report of della.
started a few DAYS ago.

SHORE ACRES,

The cry OF cart for truth s sake
has done much 10 improve the mod
ern drama and nowhere has the ad-
vance been more marked than on
English-speaking stage. Ameri-
can dramatists IN particular have
taken up the old German people
plays and from these Grade and
quaint prose poems they have evol-
we'd the now popular pastoral plays.
70 Mr.. James a. Hernc, the author
OF 'Shore Acres, must be awarded
the greatest praise for his artistic
devclopement OF this renewed shib-
boleth and the success his play 8
are meeting with throughout the
country has induced other writer's
to cater to this profitable form OF
amusement. "Shore Acres has
certainly achieved a most remark
able success. Without the introduc.
tion OF any sensational or vulgar
scenes it ranks as the best aud
most popular native work vet pro-
duced. Mr.. Herne is an advanced
thinker in the realms of stage art
and "Shore Acres is the best ey-
ample of his handicratt, a complete
scenic and dramatic production Of
this masterpiece will be given at
the Opera House on next Thursday
night,

THE SITUATION
AT SCRANTON

Scranton. Pa, March 20.-Presi-
dent Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, today expressed
himself hopeful of bringing about a
meeting with the coal operators at
which any MISUNDERSTANDING over
the HazeIton resolutions will be
Strengthened out. He deprecates the
bald statement accredited to him
that there must be recognition Of the
union or there must be a strike and
does not think anyone Of his official
board present here made declara-
tion so strong in tone. His policy is
not to stir up antagonisms which
would make wider the breach between
the miner and his employer. but rath-
er to close up the gap and bringthem
nearer into harmony. He looked for
no answers today from the coal COM
pany presidents and he Will not be
alarmed If none come tomorrow.
He said today the matter was so
important insall It's relations that
there must be q reas sonable time for
theSe men or Dlg afalfS 10 consider
the propositions on which the confer
ence is asked and to make response.
Mr.. Mitchell was confident his let
ter would he generally answered and
that these answers would open the
way to a friendly solution of the
questions brought forward by the
Halclton convention last week.
The position Of the operators SO
far as can he learned. remains the
same as when the circulars were IS
sued announced that they would con.
tinue the present scale for another
year and thereafter until otherwise
ordered. None Of the presidents of
the coal-carrying railroads in so many
words, has announced that he would
not confer with the officials of the
United Mine Workers. but the fact
that not one of them has signilicd an
intention of conferring, may be taken
as indicative of their purpo Sc of re.
fusing to do SO.

ting the poor.
Although Mrs. Blainc'e share Of her
fathers estate was nominally only 81 00),.
go, it was really at least three times that
amonnt, A large part Of her income has
gone Tor charitable purposes.
When she founded the Chicago Institute
she gave 81 900, 900 to tho trustees, ana has
added to the amount several times.

WAR CLOUDS
THREATENING.

Pckin, March %. The British re-
Inducements consisting of ninety ma
rlnes, which arrived at Tien Tsin
last night from the Taku forts to re-
place the Indian guards on the dis
puted land, are explained as due to
fear lest any incident arising out Of
the Russo British land question
should cause the French troops,
whose conduct has given much trou.
BILE, to precipitate a collision. The
British commanders desire to have
enough troops in Ticn Tsin to pre-
serve order in the streets.
1t is the general feeling in Tien
Tsin that the trouble is not likely to
reach point where blood will be
shed. Both detachments on guard
have orders to Go nothing aggressive
unless forced to do so by the other.
Except the army and camp followers
the only Russians now residing here
are the members Of the consular staff
two clerks and two Jews who are rum
ming stores and who left Russia in
order to save their lives. These are
now being offered Inducements to
move to the Russian concession.
The French concession at Tien
Tsin is quiet. French gendarmes
are on duty at British concession to
prevent the soldiers from trespassing
and Australian naval brigade men
are preventing the Sikhs from invad-
ing the French concession.
General-Lorne Campbell upon hear
ing of the death of EX- President Har.
rison ordered all the British flags to
be flown at half mast.

The GILMAN
PROPERTY.

Defeated in his petition for appoint.
meni as an administrator OF the
estate Of George f. Gilman, the
deceased tea merchant, Edward L.

appeal which is being prepared aud
which will be fled tomorrow, Mrs.
Minnie l.. Little, his sister, and
Mary f. Ord and Ellen A. Storr,
daughters OF Charles Norton, de-
ceased, to-day decided to join with
him.
The reasons set forth in the ap-
peal arc to be that the bridgeport
Trust Company named as admin
istrator by Probate Judge Nobbs.
is not adapted to judicjously ad.
minis er the estate, because Of the
peculiar nature OF its assets, because
the court ignored the statutory
rights OF the kind and heirs-at lawd
and alsos went out OF its province
in appointing trust company.
Judge Nobbs did not fix the
bond to-day. but at conference
with officers Of the Bridgeport
Trust Company the sum ofSsoo.-
900 was favorably discussed. and
the probability is that it will be
that amount.
Mrs, Hall has in her possession
two checks aggregating $4,000,
drawn on the First National Banis
OF Bridgeport, which is made the
basis OF suit brought by Mrs.
Hall against that bank. When
she called to learn about Mr.. Gil
mans account they would not give
her the desired Information, nor
would they allow hcr to draw
against his account for the checks.
