Washington Post to Have Larger
Number of Troops.
Seattle, Sept. 2.-An number of i'm
portant orders relative to the depart
ment of the Columbia. have just been
issued by the war department Prob
ably chief among them in interest to
Seattle people is one in which it is pro-
vided that Fort Lawton shall become,
with the possible exception of Van
couver barracks, the most important
post in this department.
Under the command of a colonel of
the Eighth infantry now returning
from the Philippines with his men, the
small quota of men now on duty at
Lswton will, be increased so that at
least 400 men will be regularly station
ed there. With this large assignment
of men increasing the rank of the post,
a great deal of improvement work will
be ordered, providing for the trans
formation Of the area about the quar-
tiers into a beautiful military park 1t
is also ordered that the headquarters
band of the Eighth infantry regiment
ne stationed at Fort LawtOn. With the
afternoon and evening drills and con-
certs at the post, it will be an attract
i've place during the summer.
The orders insofar as they affect the
movements of the Eighth infantry
mean considerable to this department
for it is readily apparent from them
that the war department intends that
hereafter this regiment will be per-
manent branch of the Department OF
the Columbia.

MIPs A SCHEME.

tempted Frauds.
Washington, Sept. William A.
Jones. commissioner of Indian affairs,
thinks he has nipped in the bud a
scheme that promised to develop a
steal of $10.000,OOO or $20.o0O.OOO worth
of Indian lands and cause one of the
worst scandals the interior department
has had to deal with. Commissioner
Jones admits there is a chance yet for
the Indians to be robbed by the insti-
gators of the scheme. but says he will
do everything in his power to prevent
it.
Many large syndicates have been or
ganized throughout the west to pur-
chase the lands formerly owned by In
dams, which are now in the hands of
the government; that is they cannot be
disposed of without the approval of
the interior department. Many thou
sands of acres are valued at from 81 to
$50 an acre.
In many instances attempts have
been made by these syndicates to in
duce the Indian agent at the reserva-
ton to furnish them with all the de-
scriptions and also the names of the
heirs
A big firm in Nebraska. in which
number of prominent public men are
interested, made an attempt to secure
from the agent at the reservation near
Omaha the description of 10000 acres
and the names of the heirs of the dead
allottees.
The syndicate contemplated purchas-
ing the land for about onetenth of it's
value and selling it to settlers on the
mortgage plan for about $50 an acre.

ISSUES STATEMENT.
Shaw's Plan for Emergency Cur
rency Circulation.

rency Circulation.
Washington, Aug. 29.-In view of
rumors as to Secretary Shaw's plan of re-
lieving the money market in the event
of possible stringency, the secretary,
who is in New York, authorized Assis-
tant Secretary Allies to make the follow
ing statement:
"The secretary recently invited some
of the larger national banks in the
principal cities to order additional
amounts of circulating notes to be
printed. National banks are entitled
to issue circulation to the full amount
of their capital. The aggregate capital
OF national banks is 500 900, 900, but
the banks have outstanding only $685.
900, 900 of circulation. The secretary
has hoped to introduce an element of
elasticity into the present system. His
suggestions to the various banks i'm tie
larger cities that they make prepare
tion for additional circulation have
met with very favorable response. 1t
is not his intention that they should
issue this additional circulation at all
now, but only in case of actual neces-
sity and emergency. With this in view
those banks which have made arrange
ments to deposit United States bonds
as security for such additional circula-
ton, have sent in their order, and the
secretary has had all the branches of
the treasury service busily engaged in
expedjting the preparation of the notes,
pending possible emergency"

ORDERS TO SHOOT.
SOLDIERS WILL RETALIATE ON
STONE TnROWERS.
Bullets and BayOnets Must BE Used
Whenever Troops Are Resisted
by Strikers----very Little Coal
Being Put on the Market Just
at Present.

Philadelphia, Aug. 3O.-Having ex-
hausted every other means for preserv-
ing peace and in protecting the non
union men from violence on their way
to and from the mines, Brig. Gen. Cor
bin, in command of the troops now in
the coal fields, has issued an order that
the soldiers shall shoot any person de-
tected in throwing stones or other mis-
sizes, and that if any mob resists the
authority of the troops they shall freely
use their bayonets.
The Panther creek valley has been in
almost continual turmoil this week, and
the troops stationed there have had
some difficulty in protecting the lives
of the workmen. The situation in the
valley has improved greatly, and it is
hoped by the military authorities that
the lawlessness and abusive language
directed toward the soldiers will now
cease. The other sections of the coal
REGIONS are comparatively lquiet.
A mob gathered at the DOrrance col
liery, near Wilkesbarre, early in the
day, because it was rumored that the
colliery was about to start work. The
crowd soon scattered, however, when it
was found that the rumor was incorrect.
The general strike situation remains
unchanged. Some coal is being ship
ped, but the quantity is 80 small, COM
pared with the normal shipment, that
it has little or no effect on the market.
The fuel now coming to market is prin-
cipaIly washed and loose coal.

tary Camp.
Florence, Italy, Sept. lit Is esti-
mated that $4,000 men in Florence are
idle. The employees of forty different
callings have Joined the strike that
began last Friday. The town appears
to be in state Of siege. Troops have
been recalled from the manoeuvres and
been recalled from the manoeu-
vers and every camp and every
square in the city is occupied by
company of soldiers. Six thousand
troops, in addition to number of po-
licemen and carbineers, have been con-
centrated in the city. Plenty of other
soldiers are available should order be
disturbed The summer excursionists
have left the town partly empty and a
number of others have left.
The government, which, according to
it's democratic program. has allowed
the strikers complete liberty as long
as order is maintained, has assumed a
most energetic attitude since the strik-
ers forced willing workmen to remain
idle and committed acts of vandalism
All meetings of persons have been
forbidden, and hundreds of suspected
persons have been arrested. These
measures have averted disorder and
have frustrated the efforts Of the an
archist and socialist elements to profit
by the strike to foment trouble.

TREATY HANGS FIRE.

the British.
Shanghaie. Sept. 1.-The Anglo Chi
nese commercial treaty has not been
signed. Sir James Mackay, represent
ing Great Britain, and the other com.
missioners, met August 30, for the pur-
pose of signing the treaty. 1t was then
found that the imperial decree empow-
ering the Chinese commissioners to
sign the treaty was unsatisfactory, and
the British representative refused his
signature. This postponement has
caused surprise, as everything was sup
posed to have been settled and Sir
James had arranged to leave Shanghai.
He now has Cancelled his passage and
is awaiting further communication
from Picking.
The foregoing complication is 6ae
partly to the fact that decree abolish
ing the likin was issued before the ar
rangements for the imposition of a
sur-tax in its stead had been completed.
The Chinese ALEC are understood to be
seeking a loop-hole that will enable
them to repudiate this treaty later,
should they find it necessary to do so.
Sir James L. Mackay today assured
representative of the Associated
Press that the terms of the treaty were
not questioned, but that the matter at
issue was the Interpretation of the de-
cree.

agitation are generally planters and
business men. These point to the
growing prosperity of Puerto Rico and
oenounce the system of British colonial
government. They also point to the
desperate state of the sugar industry
ana to the deplorable condition of the
people of the islands, and seriously
suggest annexation to the United States
as the only possible chance of reviving
their fallen fortunes. Such is the view
OF the planters and business men: and

emphatically against annexation and
strongly in favor of the British rule
which gives them a freedom that has
become to them even more precious
than industrial and financial prosperity.
Between these two factions comes
another class, influential enough,
though in hopeless minority, holding
that federation with Canada is the only
remedy for the ills from which the is
lands are undoubtedly suffering. And
between them all the newspapers have
been kept busy publishing letters and
recommendations and protests. One
paper had finally to decline to publish
any more letters bearing on the subject.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. Sept. 2.-An extra
guard was placed at all the colleries OF

The defeat Of Senator James K.
Jones in the Arkansas primaries
removes from national politics a
democrat who has been known for
his ability and sterling honesty.
His long record in the United
States senate has been credit to
the commonwealth and to the par
ty which sent him there. His sue
cessor, former Governor James P.
Clarke, is no less a democrat Of
high ability and great worth. His
victory in the primaries shows
what a capable fighter he is. Ar

sorry at the loss of Senator Jones
and to rejoice in the selection of
