Abrogation of Browning Indian School
Ruling Not Detriment.
Washington, Nov. 2.-The cabinet yes
.terday discussed the abrogation of the
so-called Browning Indian school rul-
ing. but no further action was taken.
Secretary Hitchcock explained that If
the abrogation proved a disadvantage to
Indian children or detrimental to their
best interests he would recall 1t and re-
establish the Browning ruling.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones
strenunusiy opposed the abrogation, but
finally. after a full discussion with Sec
retary Hitchcock, agreed to abrogate 1t
tentatively with the distinct under
standing that it could be re-established

people While he was III the penitentiary.
He insisted strongly that he was inno-
cent of the crime for which he was con-
sicted. The reports on file show that he
was a model prisoner and caused no
trouble, losing only six days of his good
time. But one thing that looks wrong
about his story is that he claims to have
been released at Fort Madison at night
1t is the rule to release prisoners in the
forenoon of the last day of their sem
tence. Any insinuation that Warden
Jones was implicated i'll any conspiracy
cr had any knowledge of anything
wrong is nonsense. That part of his
story casts doubt on all of it,

1t was painted in 1876, a quarter of a
century ago, and while it does not COM
pare with the splendid portrait of Kirk
wood by Yewell it certainly shows the
governor as of rugged and strong char
acter and is an interesting study.

There is delay in the launching of the
cruiser Des Moines and it Is probable
tkat the vessel will not be ready for a
dip into the water until late in the win
ter. The delay is due to the failure Of
the company of builders to secure the
bronze bolts with which the copper
sheathing of the vessel is fastened to the
wooden covering over the steel hull
There are $4,000 of these bolts and they
are made especially for this work. The
company reports that they are being de-
llvered row. but that the cruiser can not
be ready for the dip on Thanksgiving
day as had been planned. Governor
Shaw had selected a Des Moines young
lady to accompany his party to Quincy,
Mass, to do the christening act. and this
caused some unfavorable comment from
the fact that mayors of cities have usu-
ally been invited to do that where the
cruiser is to be named after city. But
the fault was with the ship building
Now it seems probable that
il will be Governor Cummins and not
Governor Shaw who will have the right
to head the Iowa party at the christen-
ing. The Des Moines people are prepar-
ing to buy a library for the cruiser and
present it at the time of the trial trip or
soon thereafter. The cruiser Des Mones
will undoubtedly be a fine vessel. 1t is
Icing built by the Fore River Ship and
Yard Company, of Quincy, Mass, and
the contract price is $1,O56.000. and it is
TO be turned over to the government in
June next.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The surveyors
who have just reached Washington from
a survey of the boundary line between
Canada and the United States, known as
the northwest boundary, refuse to give
the slightest confirmation to the glowing
reports Of great gold finds of the British
surveyors, who covered the territory
with them, and will say nothing more
kan that active mining operations are
in progress along this line.
1t is known, however, that 1t was the
rapidly increasing discoveries of pre-
2clous minerals along this line that
prompted the state department to expe-
djte the work of locating the boundary
Stories equal to the old klondike tales
are sent from Vancouver, b. c., by the
British surveyors, but neither Mr.. Barn

noted geologist, will say anything about
the discoveries until the state depart
ment is ready to make the matter pub

question of the correctness of the loea-
