The Red Cloud chief., 1901-04-12

A recent importation OF foreigners
against which no one will be likely to
take exceptions. except, perhaps, the
natives they have come to destroy, has
been graciously received and welcomed
by the quarantine officer OF the Cali
fornia State Board Of Agriculture at
San Francisco. The newcomers are a
consignment OF tachina files from
the grasshopper tribe-their wholesale
exterminators, in fact, wherever found.
They came as cold storage passengers
and with them came large number OF
ladybugs, for service in clearing the
orchards Of red scale-the pest OF fruit
growers. The flies are to be released

President Castro is personally hostile

Mr.. Loomis discovered that the presi-

MAKES READY FOR WAR.
Japan Confident OF Ability to Drive Rus
sia Out OF Manchuria.

Russia's reply TO Japans protest
against the Manchurian convention is
regarded as unsatisfactory and further
vigorous representations will follow.
Prince Konoyo Atsumaro. president of
the house of peers, in the course of an
infammatory speech openly discussed
the probable result of war between
japan and Russia and said that Japan
could count upon the friendly neutral.
ity OF Great Britain and Germany. He
declared that the United States would
not interfere, and that France would
only cause uneasiness by the employ
ment of her Annamez forces by nav
al demonstration off Formosa.
This. he predicted, would be the
limit Of French action, and therefore
Japan's vastly superior army would be
enabled without great difficulty to
drive Russia out of Manchuria.
Leading Japanese newspapers assert
that the Russian government has re-
piled to the Japanese protest against
the Manchurian convention to the eff
feet that Russia does not wish to enter
upon discussion with a third power
relative to her negotiations with China;
that the proposed agreement is purely
temporary and not intended to impair
the sovereignty Of China or to injure
the interests of other powers: that the
contents of the agreement, immediate
ly upon its conclusion, will be commu.
nicated to the other powers, who will
undoubtedly find them acceptable. and
finally, that if any OF the provisions
are not accepted by Japan Russia is
prepared to discuss the matter in a
friendly spirit.

M. Weed had attempted to commit
suicide. He was found lying in the

unfortunate circumstances, is the
direct cause OF his rash act. No one
doubts his sanity.
For six years prior to January he
was an official of the county, serving
for four years as county Judge and
two years as county attorney. At one
time he occupied the position OF
principal in the schools of Cincinnati.

WILL PROBABLY END 1T.
AguinaIdo's Oath of Allegiance Means
End of Insurrection.


AEuinaldo's Oath of Allegiance Means
End OF Insurrection.
"Aguinaldo's taking the oath Of
allegiance" said one member of the
cabinet, emphasizes the Importance
of his capture. 1t makes more clear
that the Instructions has about reach
ed its end, and foreshadows the early
complete general acceptance of United
States authority. Only a comparative
ly small number of Filipinos are still
in arms and the effect Of Aguipaldo's
action upon them is obvious. From
now on we will press forward organiz-
ing the best government we can, suited
to the needs Of the Philippines. Agui-
naldo's submission will have con-
siderable bearing in his favor in the
determination of the matter what to
do with him. That will not be decided
for some time, and General Macarthur
and the Philippine commission, mean
time, will deliberate carefully over the
question before reaching any con-
clusions." .....
Senor Lopez who is in Boston, when
told that Aguinaldo had taken tho
oath of allegiance asked for the par
ticulars. Upon being informed that
only the barest fact had been cabled
over he said:
II think there must be some con-
ditions attached to 1t. The announce
ment that Aguinaldo had taken the
oath is very important. You must
give me time to think it over"
Ervine Winslow, secretary of the
anti-imperialist league, was informed
that Aguinaldo had taken the oath Of
allegiance. The secretary said that
he did not see how that affected the
work Of his organization. .....
ut does not concern US what attitude
the Filipinos may take as much as IL
does what .he United States may do.
Our battle has not been fought for the
Filipinos, but for the constitutional
liberty of America"
The oath of allegiance which Agui-
naldo subscribed to is as follows:
II hereby renounce all allegiance to
any and all recalled revolutionary
governments in the Philippine islands
and recognize and accept the supreme
authority of the United Satates OF
America erein. do solemnly swear
that l will bear true faith and allegi-
ance to that government; that l will
at all times conduct myself as faith
full and law-abiding citizen of the said
islands, and will not, either directly
or indirectly hold correspondence with
or give intelligence to an enemy of the
United States, nor will | abet, harbor
or protect such enemy; that impose
upon myself these voluntary obliga-
tions without any mental reservations

A college professor, reading Lord
Rayleigh's Theory of Sound" few
years ago. became particularly inter-
ested In that part which relates to the
vibration OF cords. He began to study
the waves which travel along cord
when one end is shaken. and then to
experiment with cords loaded at in
tervals with weights, and vibrating in
air or water. What could he hope to
learn from such Investigations? What
practical results were to be looked for? ?
He could not tell, nor could any one
else have told. Yet he studied the sub
ject for five years. The facts he dis
covered make It probable that tele-

He then retired to his quarters. In a
little while two officers representing
the surgeon appeared with a challenge.
Before they could deliver 1t a brother
