TOR GENERAL BRECKIN-
RIDGES REPORT.

Washington, Oct. 30-The annual report of In
spector General J. C. Breckenridge says that. while
there reports of harmony and goodwill among
the officers of the army. the expression "ar ofh-
GERS are thoroughly instructed and Efficient is not
heard frequently before the Spanish war, due.
no doubt, to an influx of young and inexperienced
officers. Most reports however. are favorable.
Some lack of attention given by officers to their
Gaily life and duties is noted The report commends
the sagacity and ability of officers who have con-
Quoted civil affairs intrusted to them abroad. The
class of recruits received is reported generally
to the standard. The discipline of the troops is

INDIAN SCHOOL POLICY.
SECRETARY HITCHCOCK ABROGATES
THE BROWNING RULING.
INDIAN CHILDREN PERMITTED TO ATTEND
ANY SCHOOL OR NONE

Washington. Oct 30.-The Secretary of the
Interior to-day formally abrogated what is
known the Browning ruling, which. in effect
holds that it is the duty of the service to fl the
regular government schools before permitting
drafts on the Indian children for sectarian
school enrolment The order was issued this
afternoon. AS received by the Catholic Mission
Board, it says that by direction of the Secre-
tary of the Interior the Browning ruling is
hereby abrogated.'
This is the most important action taken for a
long period in the matter of sectarian Indian
schools. The issuance of the order followed as
surances. given earlier in the day by Secretary
Hitchcock to Archbishops Ireland of ST. Paul
and Riordan of san Francisco, who called to
urge action. that recent suspension of the
ruling would be changed to abrogation of the
order. The effect of the order il is understood
is to leave Indian children generally free to go
TO any school or to attend none of them
The Browning ruling made in a letter
written by Mr.. Brow ming. formerly Commission
er of Indian Affairs, to Colonel Clapp then
acting in charge of the Pine Ridge s. D.
Agency. who had complained that children were
being taken from the government schools and
transferred to the Catholic schools and that the
latter were interfering with the government
school pupils Commissioner Browning held
that the agent the one to decide what
school the children should attend. he being
best fitted to pass on questions relating to their
welfare.
1t is said however that in no instance has the
government transferred an Indian child from
sectarian to a government school The attend
ance of the children is solicited by both the
agent and the sectarian school authorities The
policy of the present administration of the de-
partment and the bureau has been to avoid
bitrary action and decide every case on it's
merits. The Indian children have been permit
ted under the Indian Bureau instructions TO
main wherever once enrolled, whether in a de-
nominational or in a government school. but
those who had not heretofore been enrolled have
been placed according to the preference of the
parents and the best judgment of the agent.

THE BATTLE OF JULY B.

The cross-examination Of Admiral schley on the

NOTES.

The 250 yard hose race would have
been won by Cresco but for an un-
fortunate mishap in attaching the
nozzle, the run having been made in
quicker time than by either Decorah
or West Union teams.
In the bicycle race, Cresco would
have been l, 2, 3, but for the disabling
OF Mitton's wheel, in spite of which
he finished fourth.
Cresco failed to score in the ladder
climb, as Brooks stumbled on the
start, lost his head and did not finish.
Many were of the opinion that had he
finished he would have taken second
from West Union.
In the coupling team contest Cresco
won neatly and completely. The other
teams were disqualified, Decorah's S
man picking up the nozzle after drop
ping it and West Union not turning it
the full three threads.
VIII Davis pole yaulting was the
even1 OF the meet, he vaulting 8 feet
inches, inches higher than his best
previous record. He easily defeated
Fuller, of West Union, and Morss, of
Decorah, the latter coming out from
Chicago especially to win this event.
Erwin Barker's high jumping was
another feature, he beating his own
record and defeating his opponents
easily. Barker has never yet been
pushed to his limit.
Isaacs by start in the relay race
won that event and the meet for
Cresco for at the end of the previous
event West Union led by one point
and Cresco just had to win the relay
and she did it.
The best feature of the meet was
the utmost good nature and fairness
thatprevailed. There was no quarrel
Ing and the one or two little disputes
Tor settlement by the judges were
settled quickly and satisfactorily.
Rev. Holmes was Cresco's Judge and

Dear Sir:-Since the importers of
pedigreed stock have formed a trust,
they now propose that the people
must take their stock whether
diseased or not and that the govern
ment should remove all restrictions
and try to make it appear that the
people are clamoring for the removal
of such restrictions. Now let them
show one case where the Tuberculin

the stockmen might agree with them.
This disease has been imported into
