tee on public buildings and grounds, and
to it all bills referred which call for ap-
preparations for public buildings. These
committees will not meet until next De-
cember, and no members of them have
been in Washington for months. The sew
eral departments have no more to do
with new public buildings than rank out
siders, and cannot influence the action Of
congress. The needs for new buildings
are always passed upon by congress it
self, without asking the advice or in
formation of the departments. If Min
neapolis is to have a new building, as she
will have some day, the congressman from
that city will introduce a bill providing
for it, and the bill viii .Se referred to the
public building and grounds committee,
and by it reported to the house, either
favorably or unfaYorably. And after the
bill gets through the house, it must run
the gauntlet of the senate. So, it will be
seen that any discussion of new build
ing between sessions is far from being
definite or reliable.

San Francisco, May 16-An anxious
night was passed by many watchers IN
and about the temporary home OF Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley on the western
slope of Clay street hill. A heavy fog
hung low over the city and the long hours
until morning were cold and cheeriess.
After 10 o'clock last night no official in
formation regarding Mrs. McKinley's con-
dition was given out, and the newspaper
men who waited at the entrance OF the
Scott residence could obtain little news
from the few persons who passed out OF
the building. The departure OF Dr..
Hirschfelder at 10 o'clock brought few
words of cheer, as it was learned that
the patient was slightly better. little
later the faithful DR.. Rixey took short
rest, which he badly needed, for his care

RIVAL FOR TORRANCE
Another Aspirant for Head of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
GENERAL SICKLEs IN THE FIELD
He Expresses His Willingness to
Take the Position Should He
Be Desired to Do So.
From The Journal Burea~. Room z5, Post
Building, Washington.

From The Journal Bureau. Room 45, Post
Building, Washington:
Washington, May 16.-In view of the
fact that Judge Ell Torrance of Minneap-
oils, will probably be candidate for COM
mander-in- chief of the G. A. R. this year,
northwestern old soldiers may care to
know that General D. E. Sickles has pub
licly signified his willingness to enter the
field for the same high position. In re-
cent letter to A. G. Peterson of st. Louis,
who has been working up a Sickles boom
while Sickles has been in Cuba, the gen
eral says:
In regard to the position of commander-in-
chief, 1 am not in any sense of the word a
candidate. I have received many letters on
the subject like your own, generally offer
ing support. 1 have gone so far as to say
that if the Office came to me without strife,
so that l could feel myself summoned by my
comrades to fill the post under conditions
that would be useful to them, I would not
refuse compliance with their wishes. I would
however, be quite unable to visit all the de-
partments, as has been the custom in recent
years. 1 might, perhaps, do something in
that direction, but not much. If l can be
useful at all it would be in Washington look
ing after the administration of pension laws
and endeavoring to obtain such further legis-
lation as may be deemed wise by the national
encampment. This would indeed be labor
of love to me, and could devote myself to
1t earnestly and heartily.

LA TOILETTE AROUSED
ORDERS A FIGHT PREVENTED
WiscOnsin's Governor VetOes the
RoOt-Carter Fight Booked for
OshkOsh-His Order.

Chicago May 16.-In reply to a query
as to what action he would take regard
ing the Root-Carter fight, Governor La
Toilette telegraphed the Associated Press
as follows:
Madison, Wis, May 16.-"Respecting
your query as to official action in connec-
tion with the proposed fight at Oshkosh,
the following instructions have been
issued from this office:
To Carl D. Jackson, District Attorney, and
Eugene Potter, Sheriff of Winnebago County:
You, and each OF you, are directed to take
such action as will absolutely prevent any
prize fight from taking place anywhere with
in your county. 1t will not be held to be a
compliance with this order in any respect,
should you allow contest to commence and
to stop it after violation Of the statute has
taken place. No violation of the statute
whatever must be permitted and no mere
error in judgment will be accepted as an ex-
cuse for such violation. You and each of
you will be held accountable for the strict
enforcement Of this order
The attorney general of the state will be
in Oshkosh to aid and advise you, and the
adjutant general of the state at hand with
full authority to support you with all the
power of the state.
General Charles R. Boardman, adjutant
general or the state or Wisconsin, is herepy
directed to proceed to Oshkosh to consult
with the local authorities and take such steps
as he may deem necessary to enforce the
law which prohibits prize fighting in this
state. Robert La Toilette, Governor.
Oshkosh Not Informed.
Oshkosh, Wis, May ia conference
between Sheriff Potter Of Winnebago
county and Attorney-General E. R. Hicks
at Madison is to be held by long-distance
telephone this morning relative to the
Root-Carter fight. There is absolutely
no truth in the report that the contest
will be prevented by officers of the law.
The sports are extremely confident, and
with Principals Jack Root and Kid Car
ter on the ground, no fear is felt as to
the outcome of the attempts of Professor
o. r. Gleason, the world-renowned horse
trainer, to stop the bout.

Readers of T ] o u + n already know
with what Indifference the congressman
treated the mayors announcement When
I asked Mr. Fletcher for his statement
regarding Ames he smiled, and said
There isn't anything that it is worth
while saying on that subject, is there?"
And then he dictated the short interview
which was wired T h e Journa al last
Saturday. Mr.. Fletcher apparently thinks
that if Ames is the only man he will have
to go against next year his nomination is
as good as secured already. At the same
time, however, he declined to discuss the
doctor or his administration. His policy
seems to be TO ignore the doctor.

TREATY
7 hLA 7 I
WITH LOWER
BRULEs.

Lower Brules for the eession OF $4,000
acres of the western portion Of their res
ervatiOn to the government. The price to
be paid is $40, 700, and one stipulation in
the agreement is that the money is to be
expended in fencing the western side of
the reservation, and in the purchase of
stock cattle and agricultural implements,
so that none of the money will go to the
Indians direct. The treaty must be ap-
proved by the secretary of the interior
and ratified by congress. Major McLaugh-
lin was also instructed to negotiate a
treaty for the eession of about 45O,0 900
acres of land in Gregory county, but could
not get the tribe together owing to the
outbreak of smallpox He reports the
disease as very prevalent, with several
quarantine camps established on the res
ervation. Major Mclaughlin will be here
about ten days, when he will probably go
to Minnesota to negotiate a treaty with
the Chippewas for the cession of some
of their lands. This treaty was asked
for by Representative Eddy some time
ago.

It Is strange but significant fact that
the natives of India-Hindoos and Mo-
hammedans-can Christmas the great
day Of the year, "Burra-din" literally
great day., thus unwittingly bearing
testimony of the influence of the Babe OF
Bethlehem, the worlds Rcdeemer. No
one knows the origin Of this Hindustani
phrase. The HindOos have Il great many
festivals and celebrate the birthdays Of
several of their gods and gOddesses, espe-
cially those who were the most famous,
but no one of these days is called "the
great day" OF course this expressive
phrase in India is a constant argument In
favor Of Christianity. Christmas is in
deed a great day in India. People begin
preparing for it three months beforehand.
Merchants send to London or Paris for
dolls, toys. sweetmeats, Christmas cards
and n great many other things. Native
shopkeepcrs lay in a large supply of raj
sins, almonds and all sorts of material for
cake and pastry; butter and eggs grow
dearer and dCarcr. The courts adjourn
and European banks are closed for the
holidays; visits amcng friends there are
very few foreigners in India who have
relatives therel are planned, and great
preparations are made for the festive sea-
son.
The native people. of course. do not
celebrate Christmas They know that
Christians do. however, and this simple
fact. so constantly observed, causes them
to think about the power of Christianity.
Many are led to ask: who was Christ?
What did he do? Why do the Christians
observe his birthday These inquiries
cnll forth various answers; discussion
fellows. and thus the whole nation, with
its many millions of people, is thinking
and talking about the worlds Saviour.

CHRISTMAS. IN THE SOUTH.
How the Day Was Celebrated In
0Iden Times.

Sixty years ago skyrockets Roman can
dies and Chinese irecrackers were UNI
known in the south. The same may be
said of the Christmas tree outside of the
old Episcopal parishes. And still the
boys of those early days made a deal of
pother by the bursting of hogs bladders
and the firing of shotguns at the break Of
day. The morning eggnog was seldom
omitted in their matutinal festivities.
The old time negroes, the happiest yeo-
many of the world, were never refused
their traditional Christmas dram. There
were then no poorhouses, no charity hos
pitfalls, and the benevolent machinery Of
these degenerate days was unknown be-
cause not needed.
Country cuttings were all the rage in
the rural districts, and when work was
finished the neighboring fiddler was
summoned. After no little turning and
scraping the SWANS and their sweethearts
stood up vis-a-vis in two lines. At the
words 'Set to your partners" they footed
it quite nimbly through the mazes of the
Virginia reel-no stately minuet, no high
falutin german, but rollicking move
ment that shook the floor until, as Burns
puts it,
The roof and ratters a. did dirl.
Those were halcyon days the like Of
which is not seen nowadays.

there was brush couee. Riding to one
side OF the trail, we topped the little
ridge just as the sun famed up, a burn

waste at our backs. Almost Immediately
afterw~rd my companion leaped from his
horse and raised his rife, and as he
pulled the trigger | saw through the
twigs of o brush patch on our left the
erect, startled head of a young black
tail doe as she turned to look Mt us, her
great. muelikc cars thrown forward.

told of the flight of her terrified conpan-

DINNER as we sprang down toward
her, and in a few minutes she was
dressed and hung up by the hind legs

viscera we threw off to one side after
carefully poisoning them from a little
bottle of strychnine which | had In my
pocket. Almost every cattleman carries
poison and neglects no chance of leav-
ing out wolf bait, for the wolves are
sources of serious loss to the unfenced
and unhoused flocks and herds. In this
instance we felt particularly revenge
full because it was but few days since
we had lost a fine yearling heifer. The
tracks on the hillside where the car
cass lay when we found it told the story
plainly. The wolves two in number had
crept up close before being discovered
and then raced down ON the astonished
heifer almost before she could get fairly
started One brute had hamstrung her
with a snap of his viselike jaws, and once
down she was torn open in twinklng.

before an hour the snow was beginning
to thaw and leave patches of bare ground
on the hillsides. We left our coats with
our horses and struck off on foot for
group of high buttes cut up by the cedar
canyons and gorges in which we knew
the Old bucks loved to lie 1t was noon
before we saw anything more. We lunch
ed at clear spring, not needing much
time, for all we had 10 do was to drink
draft of icy water and MUNICH strip of
dried venison. Shortly afterward, as we
were moving along a hillside with silent
caution, we came to sheer canyon of
which the opposite face was broken by
little lodges grown up with wind beaten
cedars. AS we peered over the edge my
companion touched my arm and pointed
silently TO one of the lodges, and instant

he lay half behind an old tree trunk.
slight shift of position gave me a fair
shot slanting down between his shout
ders, and, though he struggled to his feet
he did not go fifty yards after receiving
the bullet.
This was all we could carry. Leading
the horses around, we packed the buck
behind my companions saddle and then
rode back by the doe, which | put behind
mine. But we were not destined to reach
home without a slight adventure. When
we got TO the river, we rode boldly on the
ice, needless of the thaw and about mid
way there was a sudden, tremendous
crash, and men, horses and deer were
scrambing together in the water amid
slabs of floating ice. However, it was
shallow. and no worse results followed
than some hard work and chilly bath.
But what cared we? We were returning
