THE CARE OF INDIANS,

In dealing with the Indians our ain,
should be their ultimate absorption In
tn he body Of u people. But In many
cases this absorption must and should
be very slow. In portions Of the Ind
ian Territory the mixture OF blood has
| gone on mt the same time with prog
rcsS i'm wealth and education, so that
there are plenty of men with varying
degrees Of purity of Indian blood who
are absolutely irdis.inguishable In
r0int OF social. political. II economic
ability from their white associates.
There are other tribes which have al
YET made no perceptiblc advance to-
ward such equality. To try to force
such tribes too fast IL TO prevent their
going orward at all.
Moreover. the tribes live under wide
~ different conditions. Where n tribe
has made considerable advance and
lives on fertile farming soil II is posi-
bic to allOt the members lands I'm sew
crafty much as Is the case with whit0
settlers. There are other tribes where
such "A course is not desirable. On the
aria prairie lands the effort should be
Ia induce the Indians to lead pastoral
rather than agricultural lives, and to
permit them to settle In villages rather
than to force them into isolation.
Tho large indian schools situated re-
mote from any indian reservation do n
special and peculiar work of great i'm
pOrtance. But, excellent though these
are, an immense amount of additional
work must be lone on the reservations
themselves among the old, and above
all among the young, Indians.
The first and most important step
toward the absorption of the Indian is
to teach him to earn his living: yet II
il not necessarily to be assumed that
in each community all Indians must
become either tillers OF the soil or
stock ralser1. Their industries may
properly be diversified, n those who
special desire or adaptability for
Industrial or even commercial pur-
suits should be encouraged so far az
practicable to follow out each his own
bent.
Every effort should be made to de-

aptitude, and to the

tribes. such as the various
kinds of basket weaving. canoe build
smith work, and blanket work.

narily be prepared for a vigorous
struggle with the conditions under

immediate absorption into some more
highy developed community.

VERY NOVEL CONTEST.

At least $20,0OO changed hands on the result of q miners drilling contest held at Fl aso, Texas, the other day. Tarr brothers of Cripple Creek won the match and purse of $2,000 from
 Chamberlain and MalIey of Leadville, Colorado. The winners, however, failed to break the record of 411a inch- es in fifteen minutes in Gunnison gran ite, their score being 80 3-S inches against 37 IA inches for their oppon- ents. When the contest opened the Tarr brothers stripped and mounted a
 platform erected over the rock. They worked in perfect unison, the changes being made with skill and the striking of the hammer being accomplished with ease and grace. During the last minute one of them was struck q glancing blow on the head with the heavy hammer which dazed him for q moment, but he pluclxily stuck to his task, the blood running into his eyes. The contest was witnessed by q large crowd of miners. The following is the number of strokes made each minute by the Tarr brothers: 68, 72, "A, 76, TO, 7S, SC, A, "A, g.. 76, 7S, 76 and "A.

Lonx Discussion of Philippine Tariff
 Bil1 Begun.


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-For near ly three hours yesterday the senate had under consideration the Philippine tariff bill. The measure was made the unfinished business and probably will hold that position of preference until it shall have been voted on finally. The debate was opened by Mr., Lodge (Mass.), chairman of the committee on the Philippines.
 Mir. Rawlins (Utah) delivered wig orous speech in support of the minori- ty substitute, in which independence was promised to the Filipino people so soon as a stable government could be established in the Philippines. His discussion of the general Philippine question covered much of the ground that has been gone over during the past two years. Throughout he was accorded careful attention.
 Representative William Alden Smith (Mich.), a member of the house com mittee on foreign affairs, has introduce ed q resolution directing the state de- pertinent to request the British gov ernment to withhold the sentence of death passed on Commander Scheep- CTS, who is about to be shot.

beat the Birmingham team, the inter collegiate athletes anxious to cross over and give battle to their Oxford ! and Cambridge rivals, the outlook for strenuous season indeed is good. There are many sectional matches scheduled for the spring in England. to be followed by the regular cham pionship in July. The American army of racquet wielders will begin to go over very shortly. American Cham pion William A. Larned said the other day that he would go. Former Cham pion Malcolm D. Whitman, Holcolme Ward, Beals c. Wright, Dwight Davis and W. J. Clothier, of Harvard; Ray Little, of Princeton, and Clarence Ho-
 bart are among the tennis experts who will cross. MT. Whitman's an- nouncement comes as true surprise to followers of athletics. He did not play last season, and it was thought that he had deserted the court game. But the old love of a fierce session of volleying has conquered his deter imitation and he will play tennis in two hemispheres. Some of the army will be armed with supply of ex- perience, having taken part in other foreign expeditions and with credit. ''It's never too late to capture hon. ors from English athletes" is the slogan of the Americans.
