Indians Are Progressive

The Indians have sent a petition to President Roosevelt asking that hls pro- elama,lon lnrsgird to a timber reserve be either modified or recalled. Every effort should be made to have the president change his proclamation. Certainly those who live ln Alaska can Ses no reason for the proclamation.

One hundred hnd ssvsnty-6ys of the merchants, miners and packers Of Eagle City and Fortvmls, Alaska, have asked the Seattle chamber of commerce to help them lnflusnls congress and the general government Co provli wagon rolds for the EaEls-Fortymlls territory. Diwsou mer- chants are capturing all the trade Of FoItY- ulls because the Canadian government has Eons lo work and eonslueted a wagon road Co the boundary from Diwson, Vsv much greater distance than from Eagle to the heart Of the American mining district.
 The petition was reinforced by half doztn letters from merchants and trans porta,lon houses at Eagle. The petition asks for the following.
 A wagon road of about Iso miles, needed now to connect Eagle with Tanana via Chicken Creek.
 About 80 niles of local roads arc needed Co connect Eagle with mlnlng ground on adilosnt creeks.

PROGRESS IN PORTO RICO.
Report of Commissioner of the Inte-
rior Elliott. s5.. ~

Report OF commissioner or the lnte-
S rior Elliott. r. -~.
Washington, Nov 26.-The annual
report of w. H. Elliott, commissioner
of the interior for Porto Rico, an
nounces substantial progress along all
governmental lines in the island
Much attention is paid to road building
and bridge construction in order to as
sure to labor the means of reaching
the markets with the products of the
soil. The Porto Ricans are being in
structed what to plant and now to cul-
tivate most economically and profita-
bly,. Sanitary rules and regulations
have been introduced and the people
encouraged in habits of cleanliness
and correct living and also assisted in
matters affecting trade and commerce
at home and abroad. Concerning pub
lie lands the report says the various
departments of the federal government
will be asked to make known their
wishes concerning properties at pres
ent occupied by or needed for their
accommodation. The bulk of the prop
erty involved comprises lands of little
present value, but which may, as the
island continues to develop and pros
per as conditions now prevailing war
rant the hope, become saleable. They
need to be located and their boundaries
determined. It,is hoped that all ques-
tions will be settled and presidential
action secured in time for the legisla-
tive assembly of Porto Rico to pro-
vide for the disposition of island prop
erty at the session to be held during
January and February, 1903. al

ATTACKS HERR KRUPP.
Socialist Organ Criticises His $50
Called Berevolence."

Socialist Organ Criticises His $50
Called Berevolence."
Berlin. Nov. 26-The Socialist or
deals with what it calls the Hypocrisy
OF idealizing Herr Krupp as benevo-
lent genius" The paper does not
touch on the immediate charges which
it brought against the deceased, but
analyzes the pension system of the
Krupp firm, which, it says, is
"species of refined swindling,' adding:
"The enormous so-called benevolent
funds have been built up by compul-
sorry contributions from the employees
who could be arbitrarily deprived of
participation in the advantages. They
are required to contribute 21s per cent
of their wages for twenty years before
they are eligible to a pension upon dis
ability. In the meantime if an employe
is discharged or resigns he loses all
he has contributed, often exceeding
$3.50. Thus employees are morally and
economically terrorized and must in
humility accept every petty regulation
of the firms officials or lose 21a per
cent of what they have earned in the
firms service. This terrorism is ap-
piled to political opinions where they
become known. The number of men
leaving or discharged during the past
three years averaged 1000 to 5000
yearly. The employees found the sys-
TEN so unsatisfactory that five great
meetings were held this year for the
purpose of seeking legal redress"
:, The Vorwaerts cites an instance of a
labor representative on the advisory
committee of the benevolent pension
fund who mildly criticised the manage
ment and who, several days later, hav-
ing in the meanwhile paid his annual
dues, was dismissed.

GROSS FRAUDS ARE ALLEGED
Secretary of the Interior Holds up all
Entr:cs ef Certain Government
Lands.
Carloads of Entrynen Arrive Stimuli
tareously at Land Office to
Make Entries.
Circumstances Indicate That Ontside
Parties Put up the Cash for
the Entries.

Washington, Nov 26--All entries OF
public lands in California, Wasnin s-tc1,
and Oregon under what is known as
the timber and stone act have been
held up by the government on account
of alleged wholesale speculative frauds
and rigid investigation will be made.
There are some hundreds Of thousands
of acres involved in these entries.
The interior department has received
many papers charging the existence of
frauds in the entries and Secretary
Hitchcock will urge upon congress the
necessity Of prompt action in amend
ing the, law to protect the public do
main from despoilers. At some local
lard offices carloads of entrymen ar
rive simultaneously and make timber
an1 stone act entries and the circum.
stances indicate that the cash required
to exploit the entries originate from
some other source. The cost of an en-.
try of 100 acres under that act, with
the incidental commissions, is $415
and as many as five members of one
family, according to official reports

it is claimed, have obtained timber

| the placer mining laws. The depart
ment proposes to institute rigid in
quiries into the bona fide nature o1
these entries and when they are found
to be entered, in the interest of others
than the entrymen the entry will il
every case be cancelled and forma
proceedings begun. All local land of
fees in the section involved have beer
directed to Immediately suspend &C
tion on all timber and stone entries.

DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE.
Private Post Mortem on Remains Of
Mrs. Gore.

2 = p t.-.f ta-
Paris, Nov. 26.-The independent
post mortem examination of the re
mains of Mrs. Ellen Gore, made by the
commission of four AmericaS doctors
appointed by Consul General GoWdy
at the instance of the state department
at Washington, was made during the
morning at the morgue. It tended to
establish the fact that Mrs. Gore did
not commit suicide.
The American doctors found that the
bullet entered the pupil of the right
eye, cutting the lower eyelid, and
emerging in the rear of the right side
of the head at less than half an inch
elevation from the point of entry
The body bore no marks of struggle
and there were no powder marks at
the entrance Of the wound.
The doctors have been given forty.
eight hours in which to consult the Of
fcial report. Mr.. Gowdy, in the mean
while, has ordered them not to give
any official opinion on the case. He is
seeking to avoid clash with the
French experts. The report of the
American commission will be restrict
ed to the pathology of the wound and
the direction Of the bullet, with no
opinion as to the cause Of death.
The provisional release of De Ryd-
zewski is considered as establishing
the view of the French authorities OF
the innocence of the Russian, but he is
still under surveillance and if he at
tempts to leave this city he will be
liable to arrest as fugitive from JUS

Havana, Nov. 26.-The street cars
are running without interruption. No
further disturbance have been report
ed. The veterans have taken steps
to bring about a meeting between the
strike leaders and President Palma.
It will take place at noon.
The strong show of armed force
made by the rural guard in the suburbs
of Havana quieted the riotous feeling
of the strikers. The police are now
searching all suspicious persons and
strikers who congregate in the streets
are Immediately dispersed.
The strike, however, remains gen
eral, so far as the trades people are
concerned. No meat can be
bought and both ice plants are closed
which has caused much food to be
spoiled
There are indications, however, that
there will be break in the general
strike shortly. Several of the bake
shops opened during the morning and
most of the bakers resumed work,
though the central committee of the
strikers was, unyie1ding in it's deter

New York, Nov. 26.-The hearing in
the federal suit to test the legality Of
the Northern Securities company as
the alleged holder of controlling in
terest in both the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific roads was resumed
during the day in this city before F. G..

OF Railroads were read to show that
there always have been combinations
of railroad interests and that the
Sherman antitrust law was not aimed
at any existing rights. The govern
ment objected to the manual as not
competent and irrelevant.
The defense submitted statements OF
changes in rates on the Great North

the ground that such a showing was
not a guarantee for the future and
therefore not pertinent.

MAN WRECKS A TRAIN.
Refuses to Get Out Of Way and
Freight Stops Too Fast.

Marinette, Wis, Nov. 26.-An obsti-
nate hunter wrecked a freight train on
the Northwestern railway. The
freight was coming along at a good
rate of speed, when the engineer saw
a man ahead on the track.
The fellow did not get off the track
and to prevent running him down the
engineer put on the emergency brakes,
and stopped the. train just in time to
save the mans life.
The sudden stop threw many of the
freight cars off the track. It took near
5ly two hours to clear the track for the
passenger. The hunter who had de-
rallied the freight train later compelled
the passenger train to pick him up in
the same place.
