Speaking of Indian affairs he said:
The Creeks and Seminoles have been
allotted and the citizenship rolls are be-
ing prepared for the Cherokees, Chicka-
saws and Choctaws. About $4,000 OF
the civilized tribes are non-citizens. but
as soon as they receive their allotments
they will become citizens"
Joseph Bristow. fourth assistant post
master general, is attending the conven-
ton, not as a delegate, but as d specta-
tor. He will return TO Washington the
latter part of the week. Speaking of
Cuban postal affairs, he said yesterday
afternoon:
Cuba was brought into theinternational
postal union while the postofHce depart
ment there was still under our manage
ment. The United States left Cuba a
fine postal establishment, practically on
the same plan as orr own and presum-
| ably the new government viii continue
the American system. The Nicely case

David EuIvane. of Topeka. national
committeeman, one of the leaders of the
Troutman forces, stated to a reporter for
! the Eagle yesterday:
Il believe the anti-Bailey forces viii
organize the convention and that all OF
the anti-Bailey men will combine on one
candidate Who that viii be is profile
NAUTICAL. We hope that il will be Trout
man. I do not know how many dele

knows himself.

fusion. We did not expect the opposition
TO be pleased with it. There is no doubt
that Kansas is a Republican state"
Chester I. Long is in the city to at
tend the convention though he is not
delegate. When asked by a reporter for
the Eagle about the chances of Cuban
legislation this session of congress. he
said:
I believe the Cuban reciprocity bill
win pass the senate, but not with the
amendment abolishing the differential.
That amendment was made 10 kill the
bill, but it has not done it.
If the senate does not pass the reci-
procity bill will the president call
special session of congress?"
Congress will not adjourn without
Cuban legislation. The Republican party
is not in the habit of running away from
questions. l believe that the Philippine
government bill will be passed this ses-
sion of congress. and also the Isthrnian
bill. though / am not so we'll informed
IS to that.
From what l can judge today. the i'm
preston among those who have come to
attend the convention is that Cole the
BAILEY candidate, will be the temporary
chairman. 1 viii not begin my campaign
until after the adjournment of congress.
Then l viii begin to plan for the work

The state textbook commission has
finished its work continued Mr. Nelson.
and has adopted a most excellent sys-
tenn &c books. The text on physics and
the algebra can be used in the hig
school. These texts are not so elemen-
tary as were the old books. The history
prepared by Mr. Davidson of Topeka /
is excellent. Taking as a whole. I think
the books are good. II IS essential that
the text book commission be careful in
its work for after the hooks are once
