Tells OF Fate OF his Many Eariy
Guthrie Friends.
The Wichita Eagle yesterday print
ed story OF Major Crozier which IS
incorrect in many essential details. Z
also prints an interview with T. Il.
Delaney, known TO an Guthrieites. In
terview follows
"Mr T.. r. Delaney. OF this city. was
closer to Major Crozler than probably
any living person. IN 1895 be made a
trip with him TO Central America and
Mexico He said last night:
IL is all a mistake about Major
Crozier not becoming a citizen Of the
United States To my personal
knowledge ne TOOK out his FIRST pa
pers Another mistake is In his
parentage and place Of birth. Major
Crozler was born in Newly Ireland
the initial n in his name standing
for his birth place, and his mother
was an American woman He was an
OFFICER nthe Canadian mounted police
and not nthe English army He was
in command at the time Riel rebelled,
and it was through his tact that the
Indians did not annihilate the garri-
SON. He gave the Indians a big feast
and at it the Indian squaws suggested
10 the braves that it would be a good
time TO fall upon the white men and
kill them. Some one who heard the
squaws understood what they said and
communicated to Major Crozier He
then started an additional feast out
side the stockade and in this way got
them out Of the garrison when this
was done he was able to resist any
effort at an uprising that might be
made.
Shortly after this occurrence a less
worthy man was promoted over the
major and he resigned He came to
the states and settled in Missouri.
From there ne came to Oklahoma and
became interested in the Bank Of the
Indian Territory at Guthrie.
Major Crozier was a thorough gen
tleman and an admirable companion.

CARTER PATTED ON THE BACK.
Compliments for killing Talk Against
the River and HarbOr Bill.


The river and harbor BILL with its $50
100000 of appropriations was talked to
death by Senator Carter OF Montana in the
closing hours of the session. II Mr.. Carter
had done nothing else during his whole
career in the senate this one thing would
suffice to make his career distinguished and
illustrious. He has effected a saving of an
enormous sum to the government and
established precedent which may result
in preventing future profligate expenditures
Of this nature. 3tat-
This ignominious end OF the bill will cause
more or less CONSERVATION among the con
gressmen and the many local interests con-
cerned in its multitudinous items but Il
Will call forth few regrets from the people
They will be rather inclined to rejoice over
the event and to say that the overgrown
measure deserved Its fate. Many OF the
items were well known to be a useless
waste OF money, inspired by the sight OF
treasury surplus. While some OF the pro-
posed expenditure was legitimate, there
was nothing OF overshadowing Importance
in the bill The country can afford to wait
year for these river and harbor improve
ments.
In the meantime the people can draw a
sigh OF relief to know that the treasury is
raid upon It had been permitted. Those
persons who were afraid the cut OF SAL 0O0,-
900 in the war taxes might leave the gov
ernment short of funds can now set their
minds at rest. The millions intended to be
distributed so lavishly on real or imaginary
waterways are better in the treasury than
anywhere else As 1t was impossible to use
discrimination In drafting the bill, 1t was
better that the whole measure should be
killed. The next congress will have that
amount of extra surplus to begin with, and
possibly 1t may be induced to make a
further reduction In taxes before yielding to
the opportunities OF surplus busters
Senator Carter will not be in the next
congress-more's the pity. But there may
be some man there OF equal courage and
strength OF lungs to talk to death the next
overgrown and rlotous river and harbor
bill

DANGER TO EXPORT TRADE.


The manufacturers who are affected
by the action of the Russian government
I'm imposing increased duties upon GER
tain American products are doubtless
sincere in the fear they express that
this may prove to be the beginning of a
movement dangerous to our export
trade. A writer in the Iron Age. the
leading organ of the iron and steel trade,
himself an exporter, takes this view.
He expresses the opinion that this Rus
sian imbroglio Is only the forerunner of
more serious action by other European
nations" and he urges that all who are
interested In the export of American
manufactures cannot too promptly nor
too effectively organize to consider these
matters and secure action which will at
least ameliorate the situation by the
adoption of a more friendly attitude by
this country toward others in its tariff
policy. He thinks congress should turn
it's most serious consideration to the re-
vision of our tariff system and that
delay in doing this may cause all of in
dustrial Europe to coalesce against our
present invasion of its territory sooner
and more effectively than our people
now realize"
We referred few days ago TO an arti-
Gle in currosit magazine in which the
writer characterized as ''the dream of a
visionary" the idea of European
economical alliance to check our grow
ing industrial power in the world. Such
an alliance, he declared, even II 1t could
be formed and maintained, would hurt
Europe far more than 1t would hurt us
and he supported this view with sta
of our exports to Europe over the i'm
ports. He also pointed out the fact
that practically everything we sell TO
Europe is a necessity, whereas our pur-
chases from Europe are largely luxuries.
Anything In the nature of European
zollveren seems to us to be almost i'm
possible, In spite of the fact that it has
been urged by distinguished European
statesmen and economists, for the rea
son that the peculiar interests of the
several countries do not admit of such
an alliance or combination. The ap-
prehension on this score, therefore, must
be regarded as groundless, but this does
not do away with the fact that eacn
European country may adopt measures
hostile to the importation of American
products, discriminating, as Russia has
done, and that there is this possible
danger to our exports is apparent.
Can this danger be averted, as sug-
gested by the Iron Age writer, by a re-
vision and modification of the tariff Z?
That is question which is certainly
entitled TO the most serious considera-
tion. There is no question that many
American manufacturers believe that
the time has come when modification
of the tariff can safely be made and If
this sentiment should grow among them,
as it is not improbable it will there
may be expected II strong and earnest
movement in the Fiftyseventh congress
for the revision and modification of the
| tariff. This can be done with respect
to numerous industries and still give
them ample protection.

The surrender Of insurgent bands in
Luzon Is going on at rate which ap-
pears to fully Justify the report from
General Macarthur that the insurrec-
tion Is collapsng. Several hundred in
surgents have surrendered within the
last few days, while the capture Of
arms by the American forces Is of daily
occurrence. The general situation, ac-
cording to Macarthur is very encour-
aging.
It is OF course impossible to learn
how many insurgents are still in the
field scattered as they are in small
bands but II is not probable that the
number exceeds few thousand and
these are very likely in more or less
demoralized condition. This Is n reason

was dead-he seems to be nowhere in

pected Meanwhile good progress Is

People who live in the towns on the north
shore in the vicinity of Fort Sheridan are
having a fine opportunity to see how the
adjustment of the canteen promotes tenn
perance in the army
The first pay day at the fort since the
closing of the post canteen was marked by
drunkenness and disorder among the
soldiers such as has not been seen 1t the
post in many years. Pay day was fol-
lowed by a general exodus of the soldiers
to the saloons of Waukegau. iiighwood and
Chicago. Instead of the light beer served
at the post canteen large quantity of poor
whisky was devoured, resulting in many
rows and disturbances, Most OF the trouble
of course occurred at Highwood, the
nearest station, where several saloons have
recently been opened in anticipation Of the
increased business that was certain % fol-
low the closing Of the canteen, There was
a fight in every saloon and the assortment

DAMAGES FOR RUFFLED NERVES.
Notable Specimen of American Nerve
Exhibited In China.

indianapolis News.
The ministers at Pekin have agreed that
the claims against China shall be dealt with
on the principles OF Roman and English
law. 1t is said that there was some op-
position to this on the part of those who
thought that 'the claims of men of good
reputation should be paid in full without
further consideration" That would have
been a dangerous theory on which to work
For We are told that already "a man of
high repute claims $4,000 each for his
own, his wife's and his daughters nerves
and $4,000 for property destroyed. whereas
1t Is known that the latter estimate is
more than thrice the value of ALL" Unless
the greatest care Is observed we are likely
to see robbery and extortion Of the worst
sort and that, too, with the sanction Of
the powers. 1t is well, therefore, that even
men of nigh repute" are not to be allowed
to be judges in their own cause.
General Chaffee has again endeared him
self to his countrymen by the stand he has
taken on this question OF indemnity. He
has said that his views are well known to
the missionaries, that he was opposed to
extortion in every form and that he favored
strict justice in every case. That is the
proper spirit in which to approach the
great problem. 1t should be made per-
fectly clear to the Chinese that the Amer-
cans, at least, want nothing except exact
Justice. And every influence that our rep
resentatives in China possess should and
we have no doubt will, be exerted to pre-
vent Wholesale looting under the forms
of law. The decency and moderation that
have so far been shown by our govern
ment under the most trying circumstances
are worthy of all praise. They have had a
good effect on the Chinese and have done
much to hasten the negotiations. There Is
no probability that there will be a depart
ure from them.
