Buffalo, N. Y, June 26.-The fol.
lowing over the signature Of Mr.. VII.
liam J. Bryan appeared In the Times,
Mr.. Norman E. Msck's paper, yester-
day afternoon:
Il am not only not candidate for
any Office, but | have no candidate in
my mind for any Office. My interest
ccnters In principles and men are i'm
portant only as they aid in carrying
out these principles. The democratic
party stands for definite, positive
principles, and unless l mistake the
sentiments Of the masses, the voters
will insist upon adhering to these
principles in spite Of the threats Of
reorganizers. Those who argue from
the standpoint Of expediency will not
have influence with the voters, be-
cause no one can say what is expedi-
ent. We may deserve to win and yet
lose, but it still remains that TO de.
serve to win is the surest road to sue

Concord, N. H., June 26.-The an
nual visit of Christian scientists to
this city, the home of Rev. Mary
Baker G. Eddy, the discoverer and
founder of Christian science, took
place yesterday and gained unusual
interest from the fact that the Wis.,
itors were privileged to be received
by Mrs. Eddy at her estate, Pleasant
View. At least 5000 were taken there
to await Mrs. Eddy's greeting, which
was to be received at two o'clock.
Promptly at this hour Mrs. Eddy ap-
peared on the balcony and briefly
expressed her joy at greeting SO
many of her followers at her home.
Tho visitors returned to Boston by
special train in the afternoon.

THE TRIBAL TAX SUIT.
The United States Court Listens to Argu-
ments About the Closing Up Of Sew
eral Non Citizen stores.

Ardmore, I. T., June s5.-In the
United States court yesterday the ia
nous tax injunction case came up for
hearing before Judge Hosea Town
send. The injunction suit grew out
of the closing up Of several stores of
the non-citizens for refusing to pay
the one per cent. tribal tax. Hon.
P. L. soper spoke three hours in be-
half of the government, contenGng
that notwithstanding the Atoka
agreement the Curtis bill and the late
act Of congress which conferred the
rights OF American citizenhsip upon
the Indians, the Indians still have
the right to impose taxes upon mer-
chants in the territory. The Chicka-
saw nations attorneys asked the
court to dissolve the temporary in
junction granted by Judge Townsend
in which the Indian police were en-.
Joined from closing the. stores Of the
non-citizens. The attorneys contend
that the recent act Of congress maxi
ing all Indians In the Indian terri
tory citizens OF the United States
prevent the tribal authorities from
collecting the tribal taxes. II Ia con-
tended that all taxes TO be legal must
be equal and one American citizen
cannot tax another Judge Townsend
reserved his decision.

THE INDIAN LANDS.
The Presidential Proclamation for
the Opening Completed.
WILL Be PROMULGATED IN few DAYS
Delegate Flynn and Gov jenkins Give
Their Views About the Attempt 70
Get IN Injunction to Prevent
the Opening.

Washington, June 25.-Although
Judge Springer has taken an appeal
in the injunction proceedings against
Secretary Hitchcock to restrain the
latter from carrying out the provi-
sons of the act Of congress of June
5, 1900, opening the lands of the
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Indians
in Indian territory, the government
is proceeding with the work prepare
tory to the opening as though a final
decision had been handed down.
Judge Van Devanter looks upon the
disposition Of the case by Judge
Bradley, Of the supreme court, as
practically final, believing that the
other courts will follow similar line
Of action.
The presidential proclamation open
ing the country has been practically
completed. The document is now in
the hands of the secretary of the in
terror, who is going over 1t carefully
with Judge Van Devanter so as to
correct any defects which may exist.
1t will be signed and promulgated by
the president some time between
June rs and June 80.
In discussing the recent decision of
the court in refusing the injunction
against Secretary Hitchcock restrain
ing him FROM opening the Kiowa res
ervation, Delegate Flynn said: 1.-THE
decision of the court must cause re-
joicing in the hearts Of the 100000 ap-
plitants for homes in the new coun-
try. l am confident whatever plan is
adopted by the department and the
president for the opening Of the coun-
try, that the people will be equally
satisfied with its fairness, consider.
alton and Justice to them"
Gov. Jenkins, of Oklahoma, said:
'This contest to prevent the opening
Of the Klowa country was based up
on the assumption that fraud had been
perpetrated upon the Indians in the
formulation Of the treaty ratified by
congress. I should hate to believe
that the people Of the United States
could not trust congress to guard
against the contamination of the stu
pendous frauds charged by Judge
Springer and upon which he sought
to vitiate the treaty. II the acts OF
congress are to be set aside by the
courts with immunity the people of
the United States would certainly
have less faith in our form of govern
ment than they now have. I am de-
lighted with the decision of the court,
as is every citizen of Oklahoma and
the contiguous western states"

DEAF MUTES AT THE PLAY.
More of the UnfOrtunates Than Usual
at the Theater During the
Past Season,

Zone curious phase of the theatric.
al business Of the past season has
been the number of deaf mutes in the
audiences" said the head usher Of q
New York theater. "For several
years good many deaf mutes have
been attending performances Of pam
dramas, spectacular plays and high
ly spiced melodramas, but this year
they seem to have declared them
selves in favor of high art, and have
patronized dramas that are short on
action, but long on talk. Deaf mutes
generally attend the theater in .
party. We have had them come to
our house in winter in squads Of 20
or 80. Mute auditors Of a play al
ways buy good seats. Being deprived
Of enjoyment through one OF their
senses, they have to make up for the
loss by catering to the sense of sight
and they choose seats that give a
clear view of the stage. Another
thing noticeable about them is the
enthusiasm with which they applaud.
"At first blush it might seem strange
to see so many of the deaf and dumb
flocking to the theater, but they are
really but little worse of than the av-
erage American who goes to see play
in foreign tongue. The American
hears, but as he is unable to under
stand two words of the dialogue he
has to depend upon his eyes for his
knowledge of the action, so in that re-
spect he and the mutes are quits"

INSTRUMENTATION

BlueAeld, W. Va, June 26.-The
West Virginia food situation has not
many new developments, but 1t is au.
chemically stated that the loss Of life
has been greatly over-estimated, al.
though the loss Of property can hard

Of whom are colored miners and their
families. A great many more are
missing and are supposed to have
been swept away.
There are great piles of debris and
It will take many days to find all the
bodies. The Norfolk & Western Rail-
way company will lose at a conserva'
tive estimate 100000, not taking into
consideration the delay to traffic, etc
Their double track Is practically
washed away for a distance OF six
miles and at least $500 men are at
work day and night repairing the
roadbcd and removing drift. The
Cumberland Valley electric light car
arrived yesterday and will be used to
prosecute the work at night. 1t will
be four days before any traffic can
be resumed. The loss to the coal OPP
orators will reach about 100000, out.

ing, etc. The property lost by pri.
vate parties is very heavy and cannot
be estimated at this time. 1t is
thought II will reach the million-dol-
lar mark. Gen. Boggs and Col. Hud'
son, Of Gov. Whites staff, arrived
yesterday to hold II conference with
the general superintendent Of the
Norfolk & Western railroad to ascer-
tain what assistance Is needed by the
state authorities. The wires are del.
uged with press work and hundreds
Of messages are received hourly from
anxious friends In all parts of the
United States inquiring about rela'
tives and friends. Until traffic Is re-
sumed and all communication opened
It will be impossible to estimate with
any degree Of certainty either the loss
OF life or to property.

that followed the crack Of 20 or 80

SPECULATION IN 1901 CENTS.
Thsy VIII Easily Bring Nineteen

Market.

A clustering young Woman, out OF
breath ss though walking fast,
rushed up the steps Of the mint the

to the bureau Of informatios.
"There isn't any," replied the uni
formed messenger, q very fat man,

want to know If this is true" She
pointed to a paragraph which read:
among the curiosities Of collecting
is the fact that 1901 cents now bring
about $40 in the coin market"
The fat messenger adjusted his
glasses and scrutinized the para
graph. While he was thus engaged
the young woman explained that she
had four 1901 cents, and wanted to
know what made them so valuable,
and where she could realize on them.
Then the fat messenger grew purple
in the face from suppressed laughter,
which finally exploded and seemed in
momentary danger of having an
apopleptic fit. He called the atten-
ton of the other messengers to the
paragraph, and then followed com
bined roars of merriment. In the
meantime the young woman with the
four 1901 cents wondered if she had
strayed by mistake into a lunatic
asylum. Finally the fat messenger
regained his breath sufficiently to
gasp: cts a joke. Don't you see?
I'll give you $40 for 1901 pennies, and
I'll be a cent ahead Of the game.
See?' A great light seemed to dawn
in the mind of the young woman. 81

"but | don't think such things ought
