INDIANS AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Pleased With Presidents Remarks
About Red Men rs Rough Riders.

Pleased With Presidents Remarks
About Red Men rs Rough Riders.
The stolid faces of five big Ute Indians
from the Uintah Reservation in Utah
lighted up yesterday at the White House
when their interpreter told them that the
President had said that he had fifty In
dians in his regiment of Rough Riders
during the Spanlsh-American war. and
that they we're "erackerjacks." The
braves, who are at Washington to look
after certain interests connected with
their lands, were evidently greatly pleased
that the President should thus rank their
kiasmop with the rest of his valorous
command
The Indians were escorted to the White
House by H. p Mynter, their agent They
waited for a considerable time in the ante
room. but were finally ushered into the
Presidents office. He extended to each Of
them as they were presented most cor
dial welcome, but his words seemed to
have little effect upon the composure OF
the Utes.
Turning to the Interpreter. the Presi-
dent asked him to tell the Indians that he
had fifty of their people in his regiment,
and they were "crackeriachs." And it
was in the outer hall. when the inter
prefer explained to them the Presidents
words, that the Indians first gave eyi-
denCe of qualification.

FOR A NEW EXECUTIVE BUILDING.
Bill Providing for $1,000, 600
Structure Introduced.

President Roosevelt believes that a
mans home should not be his workshop.
He is OF the opinion that the United
States is great enough to enable It's Chief
Magistrate to have a dwelling place and
an Office besides, and that the Official
residence OF the President should be pri-
vate and sacred to himself and family.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,. who
is said to be the mouthpiece Of the new
Administration in the Senate, yesterday
introduced bill for the construction OF
an executive building in this city.
The bill provides that there be con-
structed a building TO be knCwn as the
Executive Building on the land south of
the Treasury Department.
The structure shall comprise. on the
first floor, 4 dining-room and reception
rooms. and on the second floor Offices for
the use Of the President and the execu-
tive clerks.
The President is to approve the plans
and the sum of $1,000 600 is appropriated
for the erection OF the structure.
1t is believed that the bill is introduced
at the expressed desire of President
Roosevelt.

FOREIGN TOPICS.
Endurance Smoking Conte

In Rhenish Westphalla a singular Gus
tom prevails. At stated intervals the vet
eran smokers in each district assemble
in a large public hall and compete for
prizes, which are awarded to those among
them who can smoke the longest.
Each competitor is provided with a long
pipe which has a colossal bowl Exactly
the same quantity OF tobacco is put into
each bowl, and. after this operation is
performed matches are 1t. and at given
signal the contest begins. Each competi-
tor is allowed as much tobacco as he can
consume and the prize is awarded Ia the
one who continues smoking after all the
others have stopped.
In order to guard against sufTocation
all the windows In the hall are opened:
yet even then the smoke IS generally so
dense that persons who are not used to
tobacco are unable to endure it.
Indeed at a recent contest the smoke
issued from the open windows in such
volume tha3 the local fire brigade thought
the building was on fire and promptly de-
luged it and the unsuspecting smokers
with water

active hostilities. Miss Hobhouse.
from her lights, may be perfectly
sincere and honest, but to Judge of
conditions dependent upon war it
is necessary that the agent should
be one accustomed to the sights and
scenes of WAR. The horror of the
battlefield. OF country stricken by
war, of the lone women and chill
dren left on devastated territory, is
one that a visitor used to the luxrri-
Gus comfort of modern city cannot
appreciate and cannot understand.
Miss Hobhouse may be, and prob
ably is. absolutely honest in her csti-
mate of the misery existing in South
Africa, bnt her estimate is an esti-
mate devoid of standard. She has
described sorrows which can be seen
on any street of any town in any
country. y dying baby in Fifth Ave
nue. or in Avenue \ is as pathetic to
the person who has not seen one as
in concentration camp on the South
African veldt.
In the days before the foundation
of concentration camps, before Miss
Hobhouse had ever visited South
Africa, there were widowed women
and orphaned children within the
Boer lines in South Africa. They
were destitute of the means of sup
port. The Boer Government granted
them no relief, no medicine, no medi-
cal attendance. Their lot was in
finitely worse than that of the
Boer women in the British concentra-
tion camps.

CUBAN DUTY REDUCTION.
Senators Hanna and Foraker Favor
1t, But Don't See Heyv to Do 1t.

Ii, hut Don't see HeW to Do 1t.
The Cuban Economic Commission. under
the guidance of it's counsel, State Senator
Pavey of New York. called at the War
Department again yesterday to pay its re-
spects to Adiutant General Corbin
incidentally the commissioners met Sen
ator Hanna and Senator Foraker and did
not fail to talk to them about reciprocity
with Cuba
Senator Hanna asked a number of ques-
tions and assured the commissioners that
he was firmly of the opinion that some
form of reciprocity should be adopted to
assist the Cubans. Senator Hanna was
anxious to know what the commissioners
would advise in the way of legislation.
They argued that the duty on sugar and
tobacco coming into the United States
from Cuba should be reduced, but were
not prepared to say just how this could
be accomplished at this time.
The commissioners met Senator Foraker
in the reception room CT the Secretary of
War and upon being presented brought up
the same subject.
Senator Foraker assured them of his
sympathy with the general principle that
the duty should be reduced, but said he
had not studied the subject enough to say
what reduction he would favor.
He explained to the delegates that it
would be waste of time to argue with
him the question of reduction. as he was
already convinced that something should
be done. He, too failed to see just how 1t
will be accomplished.

A Rcticent representative.

With an air OF gloom on his face, Hon.
J. Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee, sat in
the lobby of the Fairfax and talked guard
edly concerning his recent trip TO the
Philippine Islands. 1t may be that the
fearful ocean perils he encountered and
the narrow escapes he had on the Sheri-
dan and the Warren are main factors in
the suppression of the eXuberaEt spirits
and ready flow of talk that of yOre char
acterized the gentleman who represents
the famous "Old Hickory district of the
Volunteer State. II Congress can only
coa:. him out of his reticence it will be
fortunate for the country. for 1t will then
get the real facts in the way of informa-
tion touching our island possessions.
Il don't wish TO be interviewed about
my trip" said Mr.. Gaines, because there
are many things I've got to study out
and mature an opinion about. By the
way l made a speech over there that
seemed to please the natives greatly, and
they voted me thanks for my address. The
situation is very complex, and ! took CO.
pious notes. But this thing of circum-
navigating the globe is terrible" And
with deep sigh the gentleman from
Nashville withdrew.

Poor Boys in Japan's Army.

The enrolment of lads from the poorer
section Of the people in the army service
small pecuniary embarrassment, but what
specially troubles these poor people is the
fact that they cannot afford to give the
necessary allowances to their sc3.s for
humble as they are. this is a matter that
touches their sense Of honor. This was
long known to their neighbors, and these,
at the instance of some thoughtful mem
bers, have decided to collect a private al
lowance fund TO be given to the prlyateE
enlisted from their own quarters.
