TO MAKE THEM coNrENTED.
Relatives Of Indian Prisoners at Fort
Sill to Be Sent to Them.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23-The war
department proposes to move the rel
atives of the Apache Indians, who are
how prisoners of war of the United
States. from the San Carlos reserva-
ton in Arizona to Fort Sill, Ok. The
Apaches at San Carlos have long been
dissatisfied. and have asked the gov
eminent repeatedly to let them move
to some other portion of the govern
ment lands. Many plans have been
devised to make them more satisfied
with their lot, and now it is thought
If sent to Fort Sill, where their rela-
tives are imprisoned. they will become
contented. Lieut.. Hyer has sent n
lengthy report to the department ex-
planning his investigation into the
condition of the Indians, and APPROX
ing the proposed move to Fort Sill.
He says it will take an appropriation
Of about $4,000 to pay for the trans
nortation and to build little houses
for the newcomers like those which
are now occupied by the prisoners.
He is not sure just how many of the
elatives there are. but believes the
number will not exceed scventy-fivc.
The war department has forwarded
the recommendations in the matter
to congress, and recommended that
action be taken in line with the sug-
gestions of the lieutenant.

MANY VESSELS WRECKED.
An Ingenious Safeguard Provided for
Protection of Shipping.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-Consul
Dudley reports TO the state depart
ment from Vancouver that during the
past two years there have been many
wrecks of vessels navigating the
coasts of British Columbia and Alas
ka. AS a safeguard for vessels cruis-
ing along those shores an ingenious
system has been adopted. This Is an
automatic method of signaling, which
will warn ships of their approach to
dangerous rocks and coasts in all
weathers when even Il flashing light
might not be seen and the boomings
of fog horn be unhenrd. A metal
lie conductor is fixed ashore or on Il
lightship, or reef, or lighthouse
From this etheIic waves are trans
mitted over zone which has ra-
dius of seven miles. All vessels In
that area which are fitted with receiv-
crs are warned of their proximity to
danger. the distance and the point
of the compass being registered. Al
the same time bell rings and the
receiving instrument records the name
OF the place that is being approached.
The automatic part of the invention
consists of steel bearings with nun
ber of teeth which pass over Il Morse
transmitter. No operators are nee
essary and 1t is said that the instru-
ment works perfectly.

PORTO RicAN LEGISLATION.
All Will Go Over Until Next Winter
Unless Supreme Court Decides
Tariff Case Soon.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The fail
ure of the United States supreme
court to return decision within the
next month on the Porto Rican tariff
case would have the effect of indefi-
nitely retarding important Legislation
for the benefit and Improvement of
that island. 1t was determined some
time since not to attempt any insular
legislation until the supreme court
had definitely settled the status of the
new possessions. Should this decis-
ion not be handed down within three
or four weeks all legislation for the
islands will go over until next winter
Consequently there is considerable
speculation as to when the court will
return its decision. 1t is the general
belief that the decision could be mada
today without changing the vote as
Il will be VIXEN finally taken month
OF so hence. Much time will be con
sumed, however, In reviewing the
briefs and the great amount of addi-
tional evidence offered by the oppos-
ing counsels. Owing to the para
mount importance of the case. the
judges will not hurry themselves in
its consideration, even though de-
lay may mean considerable inconven-
ience for the Porto Ricans and to the
administration. 1t is expected that
there will be at least two opinions,
and they are both bound to be nota-
BILE legal documents. The deter
mination to suspend all insular legis-
lation until the matter shall have been
disposed of. will put an end to the big
improvement shemes for Porto Rico.
| 1t seems that he American capital
lists who went to San Juan with the In
tention of investing money in rail
ways and other enterprises are dissat
isfied with the existing law regarding
Porto Rican franchises. and are un-
willing to make actual investments
until II is changed. The law pro
viding for a government for Porto
Rico as passed by congress. stipulated
that franchises could be granted BY
the Porto Rican executive council
but that such franchises were to be
subject to alteration, amendment or
repeal by congress.

TO WE'D GIRL HE SHOT.
Miss Bergman May Be the Bride of

GALENA. H.. Jan. 23.-The latest
development in the Duerrstein-B Berg
man shooting affray. wherein George
puerrstein shot his sweetheart. Ame-
liza Bergman, and made n murderous
assault on her sister Tillie. is al
most as startling to the community
as the tragedy. The shooting was the
result of the older Bergman girl re-
fusing further to receiving the atten-
tions of the youth who wished to
marry her. Now it appears that the
assailant and the girl are to be mar
ried soon. which will place the prose-
cution of the crime in strange pre-
dicament. The father of the young
man proposes to present the young
man with a farm and give check for
$1,000 to the girl in the event of their
marriage. The proposition will in
all probability be accepted. 1t was
