SECRETS OF ROYAL FOLK.
The Iron Boxes of Czar Paul ans
Queen Elisabeth May Soon

When Paul l., czar of Russia, was
assassinated on May 8, 1901, he left
an iron box at Gatchina with the
strict injunction that it was not to be
opened until 1901. The present czar,
it seems, is very curious to have its
mysterious contents thoroughly ex-
amined and handed over to the na-
tional archives.
Few people are perhaps aware that
there exists in the roll office at Lon
don a sealed up bag of letters and
documents which once belonged to
Queen Elizabeth and has never been
opened. 1t seems that, according to
tradition, it contains the most secret
correspondence of "our great Eliza

INDIANS HOLD COAL LANDS.
Deposits In Indian Territory Held BY
Them Are of Immense
Value.

Some idea of the value of the coal
deposits in Indian territory can be
gained when it is known the average
thickness of the vein is four feet.
which will produce 1000 tons an acre.
These lands are leased in lots of 960
acres each, which means that 3,5O0,-
600 to 100000 tons can be produced
by those leasing the land. On this
output the lessees pay royalty of
eight cents a ton. The output during
the last year was 1000, ,127, as against
l,4OO,442 tons the previous year. In
order TO protect the interests of the
Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians, the
policy of the interior department has
been to grant leases for coal mining
operations in the territory only to
such persons or corporations as will
furnish satisfactory evidence that the
applications for the leases are made
in good faith, for operative as against
speculative purposes, with satisfac-
tory evidence that market will be
provided to the extent of fair esti-
mate for the coal covered by the lease.
The purpose of the department is
to secure the rightful owners of the
coal the full amount which the oper.
ators would, under the law and in JUS
tice to the owner. pay for the privi-
lege granted. These leases run for
30 years.
Owing to the richsdeposits leases are
granted to such an extent and upon
such terms as will avoid tying up this
valusble property, and by doing so
rendering it unproductive for the long
period called for in the leases. This
is done for the further purpose of pre-
venting the use of these leases for col
lateral assets for the purpose of build
ing railroads through the territory.

WANTS NEW LAWS.
~ Desires scope of His Bureau
Enlargea 10 correct an EVIL.

For the purpose of preventing the
abuses of the naturalization laws,
Commissioner Powderly, wants the
scope of the bureau of immigration
enlarged to embrace record of de-
parture of aliens and he desires legis-
lation. providing for the use of such
data obtained by the immigration Of
hcials as would prevent the violation
Of those laws.
Mr.. Powderly has recommended al-
ready that congress enact legislation
of this character. In discussing this
subject Mr.. Powderly used rather
strong language. He said: THE
naturalization of aliens, which should
be one of the most important func-
tiors of somebody, now is left to no.
body until the alien himsel. thinks
fit, or some politician, who expects
to think and vote for him, believes
he should become a citizen. Then the
courts are appealed to, but no other
tribunal has anything to do or say in
the matter"
The commissioner thinks the diff
Guilty could be removed in q measure
by requiring an alien, on his arrival,
to say if it is his purpose ultimately
to renounce allegiance to his own
country and become an American cit
izen. If the alien answers in the af-
firmative, the commissioner says, it
should be made a matter of record
which should be used at the expira-
tion of the five years. residence re-
quired before naturalization papers
are given. If, on the other hand, the
alien declares it is not his intention
to become naturalized he should be
required to state his purpose in COM
ing and this fact should be recorded.
"In either case" said Mr.. Powder
ly, "the greatest care should be ex-
ercised in ascertaining his fitness to
land"

BAN ON COCK FIGHTS
Attorney General Of Porto Rico De-
cides Against Popular Sport.
Declares General order Of Military
Authorities II still I'm Force-Not
Likely to he . strict Enforce-
ment OF Law.

Attorney General Harlan, of Porto
Rico, has decided that cock fighting
is illegal. so about the only amuse-
ment of the Porto Ricans Is to be
taken from them.
In May, 1899, general order was
issued which officially approved the
regulations of the local Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals.
One Of these regulations prohibited
cock fighting, but the order was
never enforced.
The matter was brought up q few
weeks ago on account of the usual
spring "fiestas" in the country towns,
where cock fighting Is the chief at
traction. The attorney general was
asked to decide whether the general
order of the military authorities was
still law. He held that it must be
considered as general police regu-
laws.
The penalty provided is heavy.
Owners of buildings where cock
fights are held are liable to a $50 fine.
Spectators are liable to a So fine and
those who manage the affairs to a
SIS fine. Those arrested second
time for the same offense are liable
to a double fine.
Sports are entirely lacking in Por-
to Rico. The small boys are just be-
ginning to know about baseball and
in few years that game may be-
come popular, but to deny the people
of the country cock fighting is to
take from them their principal re.
creation.
Chief of Police Fechter. of San
Juan, said that he was in favor OF
cock fighting and did not intend to
hunt for cock pits. Any pit against
which complaint might be made
| would be raided. but no wholesale
arrests would follow. The chief evi.
IDENTIFY goes on the principle that a
custom of 800 years. standing can.
| not be uprooted in a day.
"Three things-drinking gambling
and cockfghting." said he, must al
ways exist here"

OBJECTS TO EMPTY TITLES.
John w. Foster Criticises tie Act OF
Congress Creating Ann
bassadors.

"The United States has never needed
high-sounding titles for ambassadors.
Congress passed and sct giving them
such, but did not add to their salaries
enough to make them remunerative
with their duties. This sort of thing
is unnecessary for republic. It
makes bone Of contention for the
rich, which the repeal of the act Of
1893 would do away with.
1T is a sad day for the republic
when it's high offices can be filled by
only rich men and cannot be a reward
to the best men for their high serv-
ices"
This was the principal thought ex-
pressed by ex-Secretary of State John
w. Foster, who opened the Storrs lee
lures at Yale the other night, by the
first Of series on the topic. "Ths
Practice of Diplomacy" He treated
exhaustively the act of ofcongress passed
in 1898 giving its college minister the
title of ambassador. He spoke Of the
efforts Of Secretaries Of State Baysrd,
Frelinghuysen and Macy in opposition
to the plan, and then stated that IL
had been generally deplored since its
adoption.

Is closely akin to the OK in size. The
neck is . little longer proportional tely
than that Of q horse, the ears Nike
those of an ass, with silky black
fringes, the head taper-like, and the
nostrils like those of the giraffe.
The forehead is q vivid red and the
neck, shoulders, stomach and back a

THE NIAGARA RIVER.
Special Map Of It Prepared BY
United States Geological Survey.
To Ne Diatributed at Pan-American
Exposition Accompanied By In
terestinG History of the
Turbulent stream.

A map of the Niagara river has
just been issued by the geological
survey and is to form part of the
display of that department. at the
Pan-American exposition, where 1t Is
intended to give it away to visitors.
The map itself Is said to be one of
the finest ever made by the depart
ment and has, accompanying it, an
exhaustive and interesting account
of the river by DR.. @. X. Gilbert, the
distinguished geologist of the sur
vey, who is considered the greatest
living authority upon Niagara Falls
and who began his study of 1t 20
years ago. ..
In speaking of the turbulent
stream. the home of Niagara Falls,
DR.. Gilbert says:
"Niagara river is the outlet of Lake
Erie and flows northward "a miles
from lake to lake is 327 feet. The
average flow of water is 222 900 cubic
feet per second. The river, turbulent
as it is, is navigable from it's head
for distance of II miles to Chip
pewa, is broken by its descent to the
falls, but again becomes navfgable at
Lewiston and from there to its
mouth, distance of seven miles, is
open to navigation. 1t affords enor-
nous water power, of which 100000
horse power is readily available, and
$4,000 horse power already has been
utilized"
DR.. Gilbert says of the age of the
river:
"One may say with confidence that
1000 years. the usual reckoning of
the age of the river, is entirely too
small, but whether the real age is ex-
pressible in tens of thousands or in
hundreds Of thousands of years is at
present a matter of doubt"
This map is to form a part of the
topographic atlas of the whole Unit
ed States in course of preparation
by the survey, the stupendous under
taking of which can be understood
better when it is shown that 20 years
already have been spent upon it, and
it is still only one-third finished. A
note printed upon the back of the
map just mentioned says:
Full informal tion in regard to the
atlas of the United States may be
obtained by addressing the director
of the survey" AS this looks promis.
ing to the collectors of valuable pub.
lie documents who always are greedy
for their share they apply and look
somewhat abashed to have put in an
