MISSION WORKERS.
suggestions Made Mt the Meeting of tho
Protestant Episcopal Council for In
creasing the Number of Volunteers.

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.-Two impor-
tant topics were discussed at yes
terday's sessions of the missionary
council of the Protestant Episcopal
church. The first, which consumed
the entire morning session, concerned
Che desirability of a change in the
missionary canon of the church.
The principal speakers on this sub
iect were Bishop Saterlee, Of Wash.
ington, and Bishop Brewer, Of Mon
tana. Bishop Saterlee, in discussing
the first named subject, advanced
many eason why a change would
be beneficial. In his opinion the re-
strictions placed upon the missionary
council hampered that body in pro-
noting the work for which it was
created. New conditions have arisen,
he said, and new methods should be
devised to meet them. Bishop Brew
er argued against q change, rs he be-
lieved the organization was satisfac-
tory.
The subject of mission workers,
discussed at the afternoon session,
brought out numerous suggestions
for increasing the number of volun-
teers. An appeal was received from
the Bishop Payne Divinity school at
Petersburg, Va, for funds, and a
resolution offered by Bishop Brown,
of Kansas, was adopted requesting
the board Of managers to %appropri-
ate 100000 to be attributed among
the bishops in the south.

Steamboat Company's Freight Shed Burned

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 23.-Fire last
night destroyed the freight shed Of
the Union Steamboat company on
the marine slip, near the foot Of
Michigan street. The shed was 400
feet long. A downpour of rain which
began soon after the fire started
probably saved a disastrous confla-
grafton along the water front. The
total loss is estimated at $4,000.

A TALK ON INDIANS.
The Twentieth Annual Lake No.
honk Conference Begun.
4 REVIEW OF The INDIAN BUREAU.


Mohonk Lake, N. Y, Oct. 23.-The
twentieth annual Lake Mohonk In.
dian conference opened here yester'
day. Samuel j. Barrows, secretary
of the New York Prison association,
was elected president. Bishop Pot
ter, Of New York, made the opening
address. Gen. Whittlesey read a pa.
per reviewing the work Of the Indian
bureau for the present year. 1t was
shown by this report that the In.
dian service cost 100000 less than
last year. OF the amount expended
3S per cent. had been for school pur-
poses. In the matter of education
it was shown that there are 28,610
Indians attending schools, an in
crease Of 1000 over the year 1901.
1t was stated that the cost of edu-
cation per capita had been on gov
eminent and reservation schools
$3.50, and on the Indian industrial
schools among the whites $3.50. The
report called attention to the dan
ger Of Indians being allowed to dis
pose Of their lands and expressed
the opinion that it should not be per-
mitted without the consent Of gov
eminent officials.
A paper was read by s. M. Brosius,
agent Of the Indian Rights associa-
ton, on 1.-THE Insecurity Of Allot-
ments," calling attention, among
other things, to the fact that allot-
ments by government may be can
celed by the secretary Of the interior
before the expiration Of rs years,
the time set by law, thus violating
the promise of unquestioned occu-
pancy for that period and the con-
ferring Of the title in fee simple.
A letter was received from ex-Sen-
ator Henry L. Dawes, of Massachu-
sets, expressing the belief that in
the not distant future the Indian
territory would be admitted to the
sisterhood of states, a step that
would be of great benefit to the In
dian population.
An address followed by Mrs. Amelia
s. Quinton, president of the National
Indian association, describing a re-
cent visit she made to the Indians in
California and Arizona. She closed
with an appeal for the abolition OF
the Indian agencies at the earliest
practicable time and favored the
breaking up of the tribal funds held
in trust for the Indians. If this
was done she believed that the In
dams might soon be converted into
good citizens.
Rev. DR.. Sheldon Jackson, agent of
the bureau Of education in Alaska,
made a strong speech describing the
mission and educational work which
has been done in that territory,
where he has been active for many
years. DR.. Jackson gave several il
lustrations of the work being done
along national lines among the four
native tribes Of Alaska. In conclu-
sion he expressed the hope that some
thing would be done speedily to in
crease the number of missions,
churches and schools and thus save
a remnant of this rapidly-diminishing

CONGRESS OF AMERIcANIsrs.
Papers on the Ceremonies Of the Pawnse
Indians Ksad-The Skull Of the Ian.
sing Man" Exhibited.

New York, Oct. 23.--At yesterdays
session of the International Congress
of A~mericanists Miss Alice c.
Fletcher, of the Peabody museum,
Harvard university, who for years
has been investigating the ceremo-
MES and rituals of the Pawnees, read
a paper on "A Star Cult" DR.. G.
A.. Dorsey, Of the Field Columbian
museum Of Chicago, followed with
an account Of the sun dance among
the Pawnees.
The much-discussed skull Of the
Lansing man. was then exhibited
by DR.. George A. Dorsey, who said
that he had visited the rave where
the skull was found and pronounced
it to be a typical Indian one. DR..
Ales Hedlicha's paper on the skull
was then read, in which he stated
that he believed it to be that of a
male about So years Of age, of middle
stature and Of average strength. 1t
seemed to be the same as that OF a
middle state Indian.
The paper Of Prof. s. W. Williston,
of the Chicago university, one Of the
e~xploiters of the Lansing man." was
read. He said that the skull was dis
covered in March of this year by two
sons of Martin %Conconnan, a farmer
near Lansing, Kan, while digging out
a cave. He had decided that the
place had at one time been covered
by IS feet Of river deposit and could
express no opinion as to its age, ex-
cept that it dated back to glacial
ages.

A SATISFACTORY SETTLEMENT
At the Conference of Railway Mems
 

At the Conference of Railway Mems Committee With President Hall. The conference between a committee representing the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen and President Hall of the Consolidated road, was finished yes- terday afternoon and the committee left the big railroad office building on Mead oW street at 2:30.
 At the close of the conference, which had been in progress two days Presi- dent Hall said:
 'The conference between the train- men and myself was concluded this af- ternoon and ended happily in satis- factory settlement of all differences as to pay, hours, etc., and the schedule presented by the company to the men was adopted and will go into effect on March 15.
 Under this new schedule the hours of work will remain as heretofore. and there will be increases to some extent in the pay of men, based on the length of runs. The pay of some men has been raised, but, on the other hand, none has been reduced.
 ''The effort has been to prepare a schedule equalizing the pay of train men on all our lines. The matter has been very carefully considered and sev- eral conferences have been held be- tween the employees and myself. which have finally resulted in settlement that seems to be perfectly satisfactory to all concerned No officers of any la" bor organization, however, have been present at the conference On the whole, think the men are to be congratulat- ed"

REPORT ON MosQJtIToEs-MALA
 RIAT. INFECTION

l Messrs. Leonard K Hirshberg and | Gustavus c. Dohme oontribute to the February March number of the Bulle- tin of the Johns Hoplsins- Hospital an l interesting paper giving tlie results of
 their investigations of the distribution
 of the malaria breeding anopheles in
 the vicinity of Baltimore.
 The conclusions of Messrs. Hirshberg and Dohme will prove something of a
 jolt to the army with the oil can which moved ion the breeding places of the anopheles last year, and probably still has the can for another summer cam paign.
 They declare that eradication of ma laria by mosquito exterrnination on this basis is hopeless and have no better an tidote than the old fashioned mosquito net. Finally, they desire malaria to be included among infectious diseases which are brought to the attention of the health authorities, though it would seem that 1t is the mosquito'a and not the human kind that is tosbe kept from in- lection.
 Concluding their observations these investigators say: "Of special impor- tance is the careful escreening of doors and windows by wire gauge or mosqui- to netting as suggested by Celli. Where this cannot be done, fitting the beds with netting will offer security. in- asmuch as most anopheles bite at night Again, persons already infected should be protected by screens to prevent in lection of healthy mosquitoes and thus spread the disease broadcast; inasmuch as a patient having been infected in one place may carry it to another and infrect the mosquitoes there"
 Finally, cases of malarial infection should be reported to the city board of health just as are the contagious dis eases; and thus enable precausions against the spread of malaria to be carried out under the proper superv- Amerdan.
