INDIANS BRING SUIT.
Seek to EnjOfn Interior Department
Omcials From Executing Leases.

A delegation of Indians consisting Of
Louis p. Primeau, Thunder Hawk, Mad
Bear George Shiaka, Walcott Wal<utemani
ing for themselves and all other members ~
the Sioux Indian tribe residing on the
Standing Rock Indian reservation. have pc
toned the Supreme Court Of the District OF
Columbia to enjoin the Secretary of the
Interior and the commissioner of Indian
affairs from proceeding further in the mat
ter of authorizing. executing or signing any
lease or leases whatever for grazing pur-
poses to any portion of their reservation.
1t is explained that the officials have indi-
Gated their intention to Immediately exc
cute and deliver a lease or leases To persons
who submitted proposals under an adVcr-
tisement of the commissioner Of lnalan al
fairs for the leasing of Indian lands. On
| less the Interior Department officials are
| restrained, say the petitioners, the tribe
| will sustain irreparable injury and loss OF
property of immense value and the use OF
| their lands for grazing their own stock and
cattle for the period OF five years
The court is informed by the Indians that
the order of the commissioner of Indian
| affairs for leasing the lands OF the Indians
! is not in accordance with a contract signed
by the latter. 1t is added that the lands
! proposed to be leased by the Interior De
| partment officials embrace approximately Y
/ one-half million acres, which, the Indians
| say, they have been occupying, and desire
| to continue to occupy, for the grazing Of
| their own cattle and stock, and which por-
have never, directly or indirectly, consent
| ed should be leased for grazing purposes of
| cattlemen. William NJ Springer is the So
Hcitor for the complainants.

THE SITUATION IN CHINA

American Occupation of Manila Has
Raised Prices aud Wages In

Secretary Wilson has received report
from David G. FairchiId. the expert of the
Department Of Agriculture. who. with Mr..
Lathrop a wealthy New Yorker. il eNplor-
ing the world for new plants for introduc-
ton into this country. The report Is dated
at Colombo. Ceylon, and discusses general
conditions in China. He says the mission

returning to their posts, and that for
eign merchants claim the outlook for trade
improvement is very favorable In the region
of Shanghai American trade, he says. u
more than holding its own against that of
other countries, but adds: "Japan's trade
has greatly increased I'm China OF late. and
she is not only an active but may become
a dangerous competitor"
Mr. Fairchild went to Canton In search Of
the south Chinese peaches and plums.
scions and trees OF which. he announces.
he has shipped here. together with some
promising leitchees bamboos and persim-
mons for California and Florida. He says
producers and shippers in China and Japan
are much interested in the financial out
come of the experiments of this govern
ment in the home production of tea, but
| apparently are skeptical and believe the
cost of picking is too great for the Industry
! to succeed here.
| The American occupation of Manila has
led to a remarkable increase I'm prices OF
/ labor, hotel accommodations and food pro-
ducts in China. Coolie wages have greatly
| increase I'm Hong Kong since the Spanish
| American war, and important new enter
| prises complain OF a scarcity OF labor
| Hotel prices are so per cent higher than
before the war and residents claim that
! the gtneral cost Of living has doubled IN
the last five years. The Chinese govern
ment to pay it's war indemnity, has levied

each rafter of every house In ihe country.
| Foreigners already pay about ; per cent a"

! ing great difficulty in collecting the taxes
and white people living there say thus tax
on the natives is arousing a great deal ol
| animesity toward the foreigners.
"The growth Of our agricultural as well
as other exports to China, Mr.. Fairchtd
predicts, will be a phenomenal one and
includes many classes of canned and dried
goods from our orchards, and preserves
meats and dairy products from our farms
and ranches
Mr. Fairchild says a British army officer
assures him that the Chinese arsenal al
Tien Tsin is manufacturing cannon and
small arms which fall very little short ~
being as good as those of European manu-
! facture. and this without even the super
vision of the Europeans, and that th'
awakening OF China is going with
rapidity that will soon astonish thoS'
westerners who refuse to recognize I'M

SECRETARY COOPER PREPARING
ONE.
viii Send Certificates to Registration
Board To Get Personal Description
OF Voters as They Register.

Secretary Cooper is having printed
$4,000 certificates to be sent to regis
tration boards throughout the Terri
tory, for use in registering voters for
the coming election. This is for the
purpose of getting up Great Register,
and the secretary hopes that the work
can be finished in time so that the re-
gister can be used next November
The certificates contain blanks for
personal descriptions of voters. The
election officers are asked to have them
filled out and return them to Cooper,
who will incorporate them in brief in
a register. This was done last year on
the island of oahu, but the other dis
tricts had no such records. The per-
sonal descriptions of each voter are
useful in preventing representations at
the polls

PREACHER PEER.

LONDON, July 6.-The peers who are

mandy, Lord Tankerville, Lord North
hampton-have been augmented by
the succession to the Earldom of CHS
ester of Rev. Francis Godolphin Pelham

was ordained. He has held his pre-
sent cure since 1900 and numbers
among his form appointments the
chaplaincy to the Archbishop of York,
1SS2-1S90; to the Bishop of Winchester,
1S9O-1S96; and also to the Bishop of
Bangor. The new peer, who is very
popular in his parish, divides his spare
time equally between golf, gardening
and reading. The Earldom was Great
ed in 1901.

MoNARCHs AND PING-PONG.


Ever since the king sent a present
of a set of ping pong to the German
Emperor the game has become as pO-
pular on the continent as it is here.
The German emperor recently declared
that the happiest hour OF the day TO
him was the hour after dinner, when
he was "only accessible to genuine
ping pongers." King Leopold of Bel
gium who at one time spoke rather
sneeringly Of the game, now says that
a man can be a really sensible fellow
and yet like ping-pong" The Sultan
OF Turkey, who has rarely been accus-
ed of making a joke was heard to re-
mark that IF he had not an empire to
play with he would certainly play at
ping-pong," while the young King Of
Spain, who thoroughly enjoys the game
said the other day to one of his min
listers, with all the enthusiasm of youth
when my kingdom is less troubled, and
l have more time to spare, | think l
shall go in for ping-pong very strongly
indeed" Even the more seriously in
clined Emperor of Russia acknowledged
that the game is a fascinating one;
and in the course of conversation
with great ambassador said laughing
ly "A nations welfare now depends
upon ping-pong. A man cannot be re-
garded as a great diplomatist unless
he is also great at this new game-po-
sition and ping-pong go hand in hand.
