| SOME KIND OF GOVERNMENT.
All Agree That Indian Territory
Should Have 1t.
TREATED LIKE A WHITE MAN"

Washington, Dec. Members of the
senate expect the Fifty-seventh con-
gress to enact legislation of far reach
ing Importance to Indian Territory.
Senators and representatives agree
that some kind of territorial govern
ment should be provided for the 300, 900
people of the territory who are now
under a government by the federal
courts. The leaders are greatly en-
couraged by the strong words of the
president in his message that the time
has arrived when we should definitely
make up our minds to recognize the
Indian as an individual and not as a
member of a tribe" and that ''the In
dian should be treated as an individual
like the white man."
The secretary of the interior, in lin
with the policy of the president, is of
the opinion that congress should pass
bill establishing territorial form Of
government for Indian Territory along
the same general plan as that upon
which the government of Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Arizona is based. He
will bring this subject to the attention
of members of the Indian committee.
Representative Curtis of Kansas, said
that every member of congress who
had investigated the situation has been
convinced that some kind of legislation
to supplement the laws now in force
was demanded. He predicted that
when congress took the subject up ii
would be found that the most practical
way to deal with conditions there
would be by the passage of bill
creating a complete territorial form of
government with delegate representa-
ton in congress.

Comment of English weeklie..

London, Dec. 9.-The comment of
the weeklies on President Roosevelt's
message to congress is not generally SO
friendly as that of the dailies. The
Speaker devotes the entire space to
acrid comment on the trust references
declaring the presidents treatment of
a grave economic situation as trivial in
form and unsatisfactory in substance,
adding: Ibid we not believe in the
goodness of the presidents intentions,
we should regard his diagnosis of the
industrial situation as insincere"

KING EDWARDS CONDITION.
England Greatly Concerned Over In
contradfcted Reports.

LONDON. Oct. 3I.-At present nothing
is causing more agitation than the per
sistent rumors concerning the condition
Of King Edward, and. in view Of the fact
that there has been no absolute denial Of
the stories afoat, everybody is coming
to believe that Englaud's sovereign is
threatened by some insidious disease.
Even before the death Of his neither.
there were grave rumors concerning the
health of his Majesty, and these rumors
have as matter OF fact never been sue
cessfuIIy coutradicted so as to put the
public mind at rest on "a matter Of such
great importance.
The matter is emphasized today by such
a responsible Journal as the Medical
Press and Circular" That publication
calls Tor an Official announcement as to
the truth or falsity of the reports con-
cerning the condition Of the King and
inumates that there is a general demand
on the part Of the people for authorita-
tive Information concerning a question
which is causing great worrimcnt. The
cerning the reports dealing with the
health Of Edward VII and says:
1t is stated that papiilematOTs growths
have on three occasions been removed
from the Kings left vocal cords, and
that an immediate operation of another
nature has since Oeen rendered neces-
sary."
The only denial that has thus far ap-
peared concerning the stories circulated
is the qualified statement published to-
day by the 'Lanc,t.' This publication
says: There is every ground for believ-
ing that the rumCrs In regard 20 the
Kings health are entirely untrue. His
health is good. and he has undergone no
operation whatever"
The announcement Of the Lancet"
however, has not set the public mind at
rest although it has created a hopeful
feeling among the more optimistic eIe-
ments Of the general public. 1t is CON
tended that If the reports concerning upe-
raNons were untrue an official denial.
cOuched in unmistakabie language, would
have been forthcoming some time ago.
