LAST SEASONS COLE.
Quality and Not Quantity Wanted In
the Game,

From the New York Evening Post.
The features of the golfng season OF 1901
were a subject for discussion by party OF
golfers dining together yesterday. The VIC
tory of Walter ]. Travis in the amateur
championship was cited, the remarkable
growth Of the sport, the downfall to some
extent of those clubs which are supported
purely as an advertising medium, the gen
eral improvement Of play both among men
and women golfers. and the new definition
of an amateur. There is unquestionable
cause for congratulation in all these. and
each was a feature Of the season Whlch
helped make golfing history. The new am
ateur rule, however, was given the PAIN
among those discussing the situation yes
terday, as it was generally agreed that the
best interests Of the sport demanded that
q hard-and-fast line be drawn between the
amateur and professional golfer. In glanc-
ing back over the season one cannot help
but see that the policy of President K. IL.
Robertson In his Introductory address has
been carried out almost to the letter IN
spite Of the fact that ne himself was abroad
q greater part Of the summer. AT that
time he said:
Il have one qualification in which will
take second lace to none -tnas is, IN tic
interest 1 take in golf and the determine
ton / have to give myself to the advance
ment of this great sport. / believe in ex-
pansion, with certain limitations. Wha- we
want. however. is quality, not quantity. 1t
behoOves us to see that into this game OF
golf there Is not injected some or the evils
that have found their way into other sports.
The highest standard must come from the
individual efforts of the members. think
that we should see that. the lines of ami
teur and professional so,t should be SO
distinct that they sl.aii never converge
Honorable as both lines are, there Is
nothing more hybrid than q professional

EXCITEMENT is KEEN.
Stores Robbed and Burned and Men
kiIIed-little Salmon Indians Sale
to be Panic stricken-Major cuth-
bert Near Scene Of Action-200 In
dians In Hostile Party.

Seattle, Wash.-A special from Daw
son, says: Keen excitement and ap
prehension prevail at White Horse ant
various points along the line OF the
new government trail over the report
that band Of Hiuako Indians has
taken the warpath in the region be
tween the Little Salmon and Pelly riv
ers. A store is reported to have beer
looted and burned, the storekeepel
killed and another man badly wound
ed. The Little Salmon Indians are
said to be panic stricken over the out
break Of the hostile tribe and to be
sending their sQuaws and children to
the police detachment at Tantalus
near the Yukon crossing, for protec.
ton.
Major Cuthbert has been fully ap.
prised Of the reports by wire. He has
issued an order mobilizing the men at
his command, and in case connrma-
tion of the news of the outbreak is re-
ceived, he will leave here for Selkirk
Immediately with so men.
It is stated that from 200 to $50 In
dians are in the hostile party, headed
by two we'll known chiefs. At last &C
counts they we're holding q war dance
and working themselves into mur-
derous frenzy.
Trouble with the Indians in the re-
gion between the Little Salmon and
the Pelly has been expected for long
time. Many of them are known to be
of a treacherous, revengeful nature. A
motive for the outbreak is furnished
by the hanging of three Of their num-
per in 1899 for the murder of pros
pector on the Little Salmon. The exc
cution took place in Dawson at the
local barracks.
While Major Cuthbert is rather reti-
cent as regards the details of the trou-
BILE. it is known that the frst news OF
the reported uprising and murder
reached here yesterday morning from
White Horse. A wire was received
from Captain Horrigan stating that
word had been received there of the
outbreak.
The Little Salmon Indians are re-
ported as placing SO much credence
in the statements received from the
Selkirk Indians that they are prepar
ing to move. II the murderous band
makes an appearance they will head
for the police post at Tantalus with
their squaws and children. The loot
ing of the store and the murder are
supposed to have occurred on Novem
Der 80 or December and the first re
port did not reach the woodchoppel
near Mackey's until last Friday. From
all that can be learned the Indian from
whom he received the story Is regard
ed as honest and reliable.

Minority Report on Statehood.

Washington.-Senato Bates has
presented in the senate the minority
report of the committee on territories,
fav0ring the immediate passage Of the
house omnibus statehood bill without
amendment. The report opposed the
uniting of Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory into one state. It shows minute
ly the condition of each of the terri.
tories, and says these are such as to
call for immediate statehood.
It shows that both the republican
and democratic parties in their last
national convention adopted planks
recommending each of the territories
by name for statehood. Such expires
sions, the report continues, should be
respected by both parties.

TRADE REPORT.

New York.-Bradstreet's report on
trade last week says: Retail distribu-
ton, further stimulated by colder
weather and the advance of holiday
season, has expanded largely, until
now it easily occupies first position In
the trade situation. Wholesale trade,
except where inroads upon retailers
stocks have induced recorders. is laps
ing into the quiet usual at the stock
taking period. Building trade acti-
witty has been checked by the prevail
ing weather and the distribution Of
lumber and building materials gener-
ally is less active. Other leading in
dustries also note the quieting down
usual at this esason. Great basic con-
ditions, however, make for future pros
perity.
Cold weather and snow have helped

and the outlook is for an unprecedent.

and rubber wear have moved into con

CASTRO IN HEROIC MOOD.
But CounseIs venezuelans to be
Prudent.

Caracas, Dec. 15.-The news of the
bombardment of Puerto Cabello caused
most intense excitement here. The
population flocked into the streets and
patriotic demonstrations continued all
might. An immense crowd, whose
numbers were estimated at more than
10000. gathered in front of the presi-
Dental palace and called on President
Castro to appear. Some of the orators
among the crowd having advocated re-
prisals against the foreigners resident
in Venezuela, President Castro. in
rage at the suggestions, refused the
demands made in the following
speech:
Citizens: The size Of nations, like
the size of men, Is measured only by
their acts. Those born brave prove
their valor on the battlefield, not
against defenseless citizens, who, peri
haps, are innocent, and are in their
hearts with us, and who are ashamed
Of the infamy Of their compatriots. /
I'VE will seek prisoners for VenezuI
ella jails on the battlefield. Our action
will be directed only against those who
come armed. However great may be
our indignation, we must behave as q
cultured and civilized people, and es-
pecially now, when the most powerful
nations of Europe are behaving like
real savages. l counsel the greatest
prudence in order not to abandon our
rights, the justice of our cause and
our reputation.
The good name of Venezuela must
remain always secure, whatever merg-
encies may arise in the struggle. II
we fail, it will be gloriously and he
roically, but assure you that our
country will be saved because the su-
preme being above who sees and di-
rects all, can not abandon us in this
fearful emergency, justice and right
being on our side.
II, who never trembled before dan
ger, swear l will fulfil my duty and
justly sacrifice my life for the honor
and dignity of the nation. ! recon.
mend great circumspection, prudence
and even cordially, SO that strangers
resident in our country, Americans
French, Italians, Spanish and even the
Germans and English may be the first
to proclaim in the face of the world
that Venezuela is a cultured and civil
lied nation"

procession of whites and negroes trav
ersed the city without an act Of VIC
lence being committed.

ick and Ellen Wmnshall Dent. She
was married to General (then Captain)

Mrs. Grant was with the general most
Of the time and remained as near as
possible to him when he was cam

inaugurated as president and accom-.
panied him on his journey around the
world.
