REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. April 1S.-Not less than 20.00i
letters Of inquiry have been received at the
Interior Department from persons who
want to know all about the opening Of the
Kiowa and Comanche Indian Reservation to
settlement. The letters are now coming at
the rate Of fully 200 daily.
Secretary Hitchcock gets as many as
seventy-five a day marked personal
many of which are from old soldiers who
have read something about the matter in
the newspapers and wish to learn whether
the veterans Of the Civil War are to have
special preference over other would-be set
tiers.
Reports received here state that the
Texas cattle herders have already begun to
gather south Of the reservation. SO as to
be on hand when the word Is given. 1t has

locations before the legitimate settlers
could arrive. Frequent contests are the re-
suit
In the testimony given at one of these
cases 1t was shown that one contestant

during the night. and. having picked out
his quarter-section at leisure. waited for the

stream and rubbed a soap lather upon the \, e
animals legs and flanks and even about It's
mouth. Then. when he saw the leaders In
the race approaching, the man with the the
soaped horse galloped in a quarter-mile
ahead and arrived at his claim with a horse
that looked as If 1t had done sheridan
ride" But one of TIE later arrivals became
suspicious and tested the lather. thus eX-
posing the fraud.
Many persons have objected to Commits
sioner Hermann's suggestion that the
would-be settlers ne permitted to draw lots
instead of resorting to horse race to de-
eide the honors. They say. that lottery
would not be legal. and besides would set 9.

when the British claim that the war is
practically Y the Boers should be a
source of menace in the very city which
they besieged at the beginning of hos.
tilities must be peculiarly discouraglng
to the British public. Al the same time
come reports of extensive operations

ton between Pretoria and the east of
the Transvaal at points far remote
from Kimberley. II the Boer force Is
limited, there would seem to be enough
of it left to admit of carrying on con-
siderable operations at widely distant

Lord Kltchener's inability to do any

According TO trade reports there Is q
decline In the cigarette habit. which
is gratifying. In four years the annual
output In the United States is said to
have fallen off nearly one-fourth. 1t
Is probable that other elements enter
into this decreased manufacture besides
a diminished consumption. For ex-
ample. many confirmed smokers roll
their own cigarettes. Nevertheless the
