ENeLAND's MEAT CONTRACT.
Favors Shown Argentina lrritate the
Colonies.

Sydney. n. S. W., Jan. 2T.-The plac-
ing of contracts in Argentina by the Bril-
fish war office TO supply meats and other
products for the troops in South Africa
has enaende.ed extreme irritation thru
cut Australasia. This action of the i'm
perial authorities is regarded as evil
dence of reprehensible indifference to
the claims of the colonies, as Ill accord
ing with the expressions of imperial
solidarity. as poor repayment for the
sacrifices of the colonists, and generally
as grave injustice.
Most of the premers of Australasia
and the premier of New Zealand have
cabled to TIE imperial government
strong protests in practically identical
terms, saying that the two colonies are
able to supply the war office require
,nents In South Africa three times over.
Both colonies. it is pointed out, have
more meat than customers, and when
they are doing all in their power to
build up and strengthen the empire II Is
incomprehensible that trade is given TO
foreigners, especially Argentina, thus
bringing into the field a keen competi-
ton with the people of Australasia. The
premiers further declare that they feel
such action is wrong and unfriendly and
that the blunder should be promptly re-
trieyed

INDIAN AGENCY ABOLISHED.
Rapid Progress Made by santees and
Poncas,

Washington. Jan. 27.-Mr. w. A..
Jones, commissioner of Indian affairs. in
pursuance of the departments policy Of
abandoning the governments guardian
ship of the Indians as rapidly as possi-
bic. issued an order Saturday abolishing
the agency OF the Santee Sioux Indians
in Nebraska. The supervision of af-
fairs of tribe. such as are considered
necessary. will be exercised by w e.
Meagley. superintendent OF the training
school at Santee.
There are 1.246 Santee and Ponca In
dams in the Santee agency, who will
hereafter be deal with as individual cit
liens. Their lands have already been
allotted and most of them are prosper
Gus and thrifty. The chief business of
the agent has been to settle minor dis
putes among the Indians and to exercise
guardianship over them in the deal
ings with white citizens. So rapid has
been the advancement of the Santees
that the Indian bureau has decided that
the government need no longer be
placed to the expense OF maintaining an
agency for them.

COUNT BoNrs SECOND SPEECH,
CastelIane Admits He Is Tainted Into
Maxine 1t by His Second Wife.

!
| Paris, Jan. 21.-Count Boni de Castel-
lanes second speech in the chamber of
deputies, tho not brilliant, was not such
painful fiasco as his first, delivered a
year ago. The count jestingly con-
fessed to the correspondent that this
second trial was made at his wifes sug-
ges.ion. She used to taunt him by say
ing that when he would seek reelection
next April the opposing candidate sure
~ would placard every wall in the dis
trict With these few words in big let
ters: '.Castellane made just one speech
IN four years, that lasted exactly forty
seconds
This time Count Boni held the floor
eight minutes. His discourse evidently
had been committed to memory, for
fear of losing the trend of argument,
and he disregarded all Interruptions. He
began thus:
My experience will necessarily limit
my task, also what could not l say
against the disastrous foreign policy
which has been followed the last two
years." Then he asked Foreign Minis
ter Deleasse to explain several recent
foreign transactions which he (he
counO disapproved.
The minister failed to see any necess-
ity for replying, SO he remained placid
and silent. only making a casual allu-
sion to Count Boni's attack later when
answering another orator.
The counts department was easy and
his diction elegant, but his thin voice
was only audible in the nearest rows. A
slight quaver of the voice was the only
sign of emotion.

INDIANS MAY GET DECISION.
Court of Claims May Grant injunction
in Lone Wolf Case.

Washington, Jan. 27-The delay on the
lpart of the court of appeals of the Dis
ltrict of Columbia in handing down
decision in the Lone Wolf injunction suit
against the secretary of the interior, TO
Irestrain him from opening to settlement
the lands of the Kiowa, Comanche and
Apache Indian In Oklahoma territory,
has greatly encouraged the attorneys for
the Indians. They profess to believe that
the delay portends good results for their
|clients. 1t is pointed out that the court
or appeals of the District of Columbia
is probably the most prompt in the en-
tire country in the disposition OF cases
Igdbmtted to it. Seldom does the court
keep before it a case for more than SIN
weeks. In fact, this court is looked upon
by leading lawyers as the most punctlli-
Gus court in the entire country in decid-
ing cases. 1t is probably this fact has
caused the impression that the court
will hold against the government and IN
favor of the Indians.
The Lone Wolf case was submitted to
the court of appeals last October, and 1t
has now been pending before the court
over three months. 1t is pointed out
that If the attorneys for the Indians had
not presented a clear and conclusive
case the court could have, weeks ago.
refused the injunction prayed for. 1t Will
be remembered that the supreme court
OF the district disposed of the Injunction
suits within week after the arguments
were submitted. that court moulding that
the judiciary of the nation had no juris-
diction over the question.
1t is reliably stated that Chief Justice
Richard H. Alvey, Of the court of APP
reas, is preparing the decision in this
now noted case, and that the opinion of
the court will be unanimous. The fact
that the chief justice has been requested
to prepare the opinion of the court also
adds color to the belief that the decision
Will be against the government. For
weeks Justice Alvey has been looking up
all the Indian cases submitted to the
supreme court in recent years having
any bearing upon the questions pre-
scented in the Lone Wolf suit. This be-
came apparent the other day, when ar
euments were submitted in the manda-
mus suit against the secretary of the in
terror to compel him to place upon the
rolls of the Wichita tribe Willis West
and other persons claiming Indian citi-
zenship.
1t is exceedingly seldom that Judge
reads brief filed with the court prior
to the time the case is called for argu-
nent. 1t was evident, however, from
bis remarks. that Justice Alvey had
carefully read all Of the briefs sub
nitted In the nandamus suits

Troublesome Note Writer.

New York, Jan. 27$-"Jan. 21.--My
Dear -: I'll meet you tonight
in the same old place. Be good boy
and don't let your wife get wise. or
she'll make trouble. Be sure and meet
me. Lovingly, Emma.
This letter, a fair sample, of those
which have been causing trouble in
many homes on the upper west side,
the other night, and the police believe
they have the culprit who has been
writing them regularly.
For several months complaints have
been made to Captain Schmlttberger
that a young man has been presenting
kilograms and notes to women III
apartment houses addressed to their
husbands and purporting to be from
other women. The bearer of the mes
sage each time extorted from % to so
cents from the women and would then
hurry away. 1t was not a lucrative
scheme, but was a great source of
amusement to him.
The culprit rarely sealed the enve-
lope and out of curiosity the wives
would often read the telegram or note
with its startling contents. This US
ually necessitated vigorous explana
lions and denials when the husband
returned home at night. In several
cases separations and divorce suits
have been the outcome.

held freight train on the Kansas
Southwestern railroad, Santa Fe hold

The train was run onto siding at Cald-
well and the depots at South Haven,
Guelph and Caldwell We're attached.
For several years the road has been
delinquent in its taxes, but the sheriff
anticipating an injunction suit, had
withheld action until Saturday. When
the road learned of the sheriff's intention
to take action it secured an injunction
from the probate judge preventing the
sheriff from stopping the train which
carries mail west of Caldwell. Failure
to make a $4,000 bond prevented the cir
cult court clerk from issuing the sum-
mons on the injunction. Late Saturday
the bond was filed and the train was re-
LEASED. The road threatens to arrest the
sheriff for stopping train carrying

ONE YEAR OF EpwooD.
London Press Revies the First Yea
of His REIGN.


London, Jan. 27.-"One year of King
Edward is a subject much discussed,
both publicly and privately, on the occa-
sion of this last weeks melancholy anni-
yersary. 1t is somewhat curious that the
chief note Of comment is one of thank
fitness that he has maintained what
Queen Victoria established, "the recon-
citation of democracy and empire" To
use the words of the loyal Spectator:
ut would be unjust to say that there
is any surprise in the public mind that
the king should have confined himself
50 strictly within the limitations of his
royal prerogatives, which his predeces-
sor so scrupulously observed.
ut is perfectly true that the king has
rot manifested the slightest disposition
to usurp any power or authority outside
of the scope of Queen Wictoria's Well
known policy. His subjects grateful ac-
acknowledgement of his restraint signifies
nothing more than the Inherent English
jealousy of popular liberties, coupled
with the strangeness to the present gen.
Grafton of the functions connected with
the demise of the crown"
The average Englishman, however,
likes to be told, as the Spectator reminds
hlm, that 1.-The sovereign of that royal
republic, the British empire, does not
hold within his hands such powers OF
producing rapidly colossal results for
good or evil-especially evil-as are at
tached to the headships of the Russian
and German empires, or even TO the
presidency of the United States.
by obstinate adherence with the full
force of his authority to any single false
Initiative any one of those potentates
could, almost at any moment, plunge not
only his own country but the whole
world into calamities which could not be
repaired in generations,
ut is not so with the British monar-
chy. Our system checks and balances
and makes 1t practically impossible that
any Immediate and irievocable deter
mination of worldwide issues should
rest with any individual, however mas
terful; and if any exceptions should be
made to this observation 1t would not
relate to any conceivable occupant of
the throne.
1t should not be inferred from either OF
these comments that King Edward has
been mere figurehead of the British
empire for the last year. 1t is practi-
cal truth that Lord Salisbury's minis
try has had to reckon With the king on

uously desires early peace in South At

sympathy with the so-called pro-Boer

either by the sovereign or by the prime

MRS. RICHARDSON FREE
Accused Woman Declared Not
Guilty OF Murder Of Her
Husband.
Remarkable Scene in the Court
Room When Verdict Was
Announced.
Women Wept and Men Cheered
When the Prisoner Left
Court Room.

| Plattsburg Mo, Jan. 27.-Mrs Adj
die Richardson was late Saturday af-
ternoon acquitted of the charge of
numbering her husband, Frank w.
Richardson. wealthy merchant, who
was shot and killed on Christmas eve.
! 1900, as he was entering his home IN
| Savannah, Mo.
The jury went out at $3.50 and re-
turned with verdict thirtyfive min
utes later.
The announcement of the verdict
was received with frantic enthusiasm
and joy, not only by Mrs. Richardson
and her own and her husbands rela-
tives, but by many of the spectators.
John d. Richardson, brother of the
murdered man, seized the widow
around the waist and raised her off
he kissed her again and again, while
the crowd cheered.
Her father, Adam Lawrence, seized
her in his arms and they wept as they
embraced each other. Relatives and
the attorneys for the defense gathered
around the father and daughter and
congratulated the latter, and the little
Richardson boys We're Rugged and
kissed.
THE defendant is dismissed" shout
ed Judge Burnes.
THANK God! Thank God!" was
shouted in all parts of the court
room.
Mrs. Richardson pressed forward
and shook hands with and thanked
each member of the jury. Tears
streamed down her face, but she
smiled thru them.
Mrs. Richardson was indicted for
murder in the first degree. and the
state endeavored to prove as motive
that she was enamored of Stewart
Fife, u young man and former bust
ness associate of Richardson.
Fife was arrested recently at North
Yakimi, Wash, on charge of COM
plicity in the crime, and is now in Jail
at Savannah awaiting trial.

HENDERSON DENIES 1T.
Says There Is No Blacklist of Strikers
on Coast.

George r. Henderson, superintend.
ent of motive power of the Santa Fe,
denies emphatically the statement of a
San Bernardino boilermaker that there
is a blacklist on the company's rolls
consisting of the men who were re-
Gently on strike. He says Grand Presi-
dent Mcneil never showed him any
such list as was stated. G. r. Jough-
ms, mechanical superintendent for the
coast lines, also says there is no
blacklist. Further Mr.. Joughins said:
"At the end of the last strike we
took back everyone of the strikers and
several men who had made trouble
months before. When a man is not a
good workman, the company does not
want him. That is as far as the mat
ter goes. There is and has been no
discrimination. And there probably
never was a mor businesslike and or
derby strike than the one closed salts
factorily a few weeks ago in the west.
The men who were out were at all
times orderly and conducted them
selves as gentlemen. 1t was as near
as could be to a pleasant strike"
He explains that the trouble talk
about further difficulties originated
some days ago when the several shop
men engaged in a free-for-all fight.
One of these men happened to be a
boilermaker and with the remainder
was discharged. He, however, denied
that he was to blame and has asked
for an investigation which Mr.. Jough-
ms said was still under way.
Special advices from Needles indi-
cate that The best of feeling exists
there between the men in the boiler
department and the local officials. 1T
is a month now" says the correspond
ent, since the boilermakers' strike
was settled out here and all the men
returned to work. During this time
at Needles we have existing the best
of feeling between employees in boiler
department and the local company
officials. Our relations are all that
could be desired"
At both points the men are of a on
servative class that are trying to do
justice everywhere and it is safe to
say there will be no difficulty unless
there is reason for IL.
