5000 AT ONE DxNN Eh.
New York's Poor Cared For-Many
 Thousands Fed.

New York, Dec. 25.-Public and pri- vate charity gave happiness to thous- ands of persons in this city to-day while, in the outlying districts, where the wealthy have their country seats, the poor were better cared for and made happier than even before.
 The feature of the day was the or ganized work of the Salvation Army. By means of a fund raised by that or ganization 5000 persons sat down this evening to substantial dinner in Madison Square Garden, while earlier in the day 3,400 baskets, each contain ing complete dinner, were distributed at the garden. These baskets are est- mated to have contained food for 10000 persons.
 At the Bowery Mission nearly 10000 men and boys were fed and entertain ed. Various other organizations sup piled all the applicants with clothing and toys for the children.
 All the churches held special services with elaborate musical programmes as feature and despite chill, drizzling rain which fell at intervals the day is believed to have been record breaker in the way of charitable work.

W. T. sYEAD,S LATEST IDEA.
Comment on Ills Pamphlet on "The
 Americanizationo of the yorId.o

London, Dec 26-The. Daily News, in discussing MT. William T. Stead's pam phlet on The Americanization of the World in an editorial this morning, admits that MT. Gladstone's prophecy that the United States would replace Great Britain as the premier commer- cial nation has been realized on the whole; but it declares it Is utterly i'm possible that Great Britain, as Mir. Stead extravagantly suggests could ever enter an American union except after a series of disasters rendering separate existence impossible. The papers considers any kind of an Anglo7/ American federation equally unlikely owing to the Briton's unsuitable love of caste which led Golden to insist that Englishmen were arstocrats rather than democrats. For the rest, 1t con- fesses the enormous influence which the United States weild over the Brit ish colonies and that majority of Irishmen would vote for federation with the United States.
 The article further says it would be interesting to see what would happen if the United States should drop their protectionist policy and should offer to Jamaica, Canada or even Australia the immense bribe of admission on recipro- cal terms to their vast, ever extending markets.

pAwNEE INDIANS ON WARPATH
A Taste of Buffalo Meat Gives Them
 some Wild DeIustons.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 25-The Pawnee Indians are on the warpath An im- nense buffalo bull was so injured in being transferred from the Santa Fe stock yards to Pawnee Bills ranch, south of town, that he had to be killed. The meat was given to the Indians by Major Lillie for a. Buffalo dance. The Indians have been dancing and pow wowing ever since. They say the vast herds of buffalo are coming back to this country and many of them have notified the white leasees to vacate their ranches at once, because they wish to lay the fences low so that the buffalo will have full sway of the country. The whites in the remote parts of the reservation are coming to Pawnee and they report that the h. dlans are acting threateningly toward them. Pawnee Bill has placed mount ed guards around his buffalo ranch, as the Indians are camping in the timber west of there and in sight of the herd and from their suspicious actions he thinks they intend to liberate the herd and perhaps kill them. The United States Indian agent at that point has been notified and has made report to the commissioner of Indian affairs at Washington.

FOR PROTECTION OF ITALIANS.
Italian Governments Efforts to Have
 American Federal statutes Extended.

Washington, Dec. 25.-The Italian
 government has been renewing its eff
 forts of late with the authorities in
 Washington to have American federal
 statutes so extended as to protect for eigners ill cases arising within the jur-
 isdiction of states, thus giving federal
 remedy for lynchings and like aff1ays directed against Italians such as have occurred in Louisiana, Colorado and Mississippi. It is the exchange of views in this connection which recently
 brought on the discussion in the Italian senate, when Baron Fava interpolated the Italian premier as to the progress of an adjustment. Immediately on the arrival of the new ambassador, Signor Mayor Des Ranches, he took up this question, which had arisen in connec- tion with the lynching of several ltal- ian citizens at Erwin, Miss,
 N In this connection Signor Mayor said to-day: Under the treaty which exists between Italy and the United States the citizens of each country are suaran- teed the fullest protection while res.d- ing in the other country. In the case of Americans residing in Italy they had exactly the same rights, the same pro- lection, the same recourse to the courts, that an Italian subject enjoys. The only exception is in connection with po- litical rights. In the case of Italians residing in the United States the treaty assures them the same rights and pro- lection given to American citizens. But unfortunately this expression of the treaty, as far as it relates to Italians in this country, Is somewhat theoretical, for under the American system which limits the federal authority over states the central government is not able to give effect to the guarantee laid down by the treaty.
 Since the recent lynchings at Erwin, Miss, there has been more or less dis cussion of the payment of money in- demnity. But in the view of the Ital- ian government the question of inden1- nity does not enter into the case. There has been no suggestion coming from us, much less a demand, for a cash in demnity to the government. The ltal- ian government does not seek blood money. At the same time the families of the victims who are the ones most directly affected, are naturally wil ing to listen to suggestions of a monetary indemnity, and when the suggestions are voluntarily made by the state or federal authorities we can do nothing more than be the medium for consider ing them in behalf of our people"

AFFAIRS FN HAWAII.
Comment on President's Message -Suits
 Over Land for Naval station

Honolulu Dec. IS (via Victoria, B. C., Dec. 25).--President Roosevelt's first l message is commented on here as very adverse to the sugar interests of Ha- waii. The plain declaration against all lowing more Chinese to come here was disappointment to the planters who
 were hoping that congress would pro- vide way for them to get more cheap labor The presidents statement that Hawaii ought to be a land of small farms, titled by the owners there, rath- CT than a territory of large estates de- voted to plantations worked by cheap labor, has revived controversy that has been on here for some time as to the deslrability of getting more Chinese labor. It is generally conceded, how ever, that there is now no likelihood that any more such labor can come here The prospect of reciprocity with Cuba, the possibility of annexation and the prospects of free admission of sugar from this island and the Philippines, as well as Porto Rico, are also disappo.nt- ing to Hawaii. In spite of these infiu- ences, however, sugar stocks here re- main firm at the prices ruling recently, and there are no signs that the big commercial interests are jeopardized.
 The first of the suits brought by the United States to condemn lands needed for the naval station at Pearl Harbor was decided last week by a jury in the United States district court, which awarded the land to the government at price far below the demands of the owners. This case was that of the United States against the estate of Bernace Pauahi Bishop, involving over six hundred acres of land at the site of the proposed station.
 The jury brought in a verdict award ing the defendants about $75 per acre. The verdict indicates that the govern ment will get the land wanted for na val sta ton for small sum.
 Attorney General Dole will leave for Washington in the near future to pre- sent to the United States supreme court the appeal of territory in the case of one Mankichi, released on habeas cor pus by United States Judge Estee and by Judge Gear, of the First circuit. The issue involves the question of the legal ity of trials without grand jury indict- ments under the Hawaii law allowing jury verdicts by nine jurors after an examination.

R USSIA'S FIRM STAND.
Causes Germany to Reconsider Point
 im New Tarifr UiII.

Berlin, Dec. 25.-The government yielding to Russia's uncompromising attitude regarding the tariff bill, will propose, when the committee having the matter in charge meets, that the
 minimum grain duties be stricken out. These minimum duties were put in through the influence of the agrarians, who desired to fix limit under which concessions could not be made in the commercial treaty negotiations. The elisions leave the ministry free to meet the views of Russia respecting grain and hay. Thus far it has not made any representations concerning the tariff, being advised to wait until it was seen to pass.
