LAZY AND IMPURE.
Delegates to American Missionary
Convention So Call Porto Ricans.
Moral Status OF the People There Is AppaII-
ing, and American OtlcIaIs Are Accused
OF Painting Conditions In Col
ora Too RoGeate.

New London, Conn, Oct. 23.-Re-
ports and addresses on missions oc-
cupied the attention of the delegates
at Wednesdays session of the con-
vention of the American Missionary
association. In an address on Indian
and Alaskan missions, Rev. Dwight NJ.
Pratt, d. D., of Cincinnati, affirmed
that the Indian can never be re-
deemed and uplifted and fitted for
the duties and responsibility of cit
izenship by the civil government. The
vast sums expended by the govern
ment for this purpose in the last
80 years, he said in effect, had &C
complished but little. The Indian to-
day is as much ward of the nation as
he was a generation ago. If the In
dian Is ever to be educated to citizen
ship and Christian manhood, if he is
ever to be emancipated from the nur-
sery and from his swaddling clothes
and made an independent and con-
structive factor in our national life
it must be through just such vital
and effective work as is done by this
association.
Rev. II. A. Bridgman spoke On
missions in Porto Rico. He said that
modern missionary enterprise and
American Christianity were on trial
in that island. It's governors, he
averred, come home and paint in
roseate colors the progress of Amer
lean ideas, the eagerness of the PEG.
pie for self-government and theiI
growing efficiency therein. But he
continued, ask Christian leader like
DIR. c. j. Ryder, who has spent weeks
investigating moral conditions not
only in the seaports but in the noun
tain districts, to tell you what he
has seen and heard and the moral
status of the people will seem 'appall-
ing. Centuries of misrule, the exac-
tions of an oppressive and often inn
moral ecclesiastical system, the bane-
full influences of a soft tropical eli
mate have produced a people inert,
childish, ignorant and impure. Amer
lean Christianity has a big task be-
fore it and one demanding the gem
erous outlay of money and not less
generous offering of consecrated per-
sonalty.

ILLEGAL OCCUPATION.
Millions of Acres of Public Lands Held by
Stock Raisers Which Ought to Be
Opened for Settlement.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Col. John S.
Mosby, special agent of the interior
department, called upon the presi-
dent yesterday and laid before him
the result of his investigation of the
illegal occupation of public lands in

the president that millions of acres
of public land that ought rightfully

Senator Hanna Was Forced so End His
Speech at Indianapolis Last
Night Abruptly.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. Ex-senator
Hanna nearly broke down at the
close of his speech here last night.
He was standing some distance from
the speakers table when his strength
seemed to fail him and he had to
reach for the stand, dragging his
body over to it, where he rested his
hand. After a moments hesitation
he announced that his physical con-
ditiOn would not allow him to say
anything more and was helped to
his chair by Senator Fairbanks and
Secretary Whitaker, of the repub-
lican state committee. This alarm
ing incident happened near the end
of a speech in which Senator Hanna
dealt with the trust and labor ques-
lions.

UNITED STATES BONDS.
The Registrar OF the Treasury Shows That
Foreigners Only Hold Small Amount
of Our Securities.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The report
of Judson w. Lyons, registrar of the
treasury, for the fiscal year ended
June 80 last, was made public yes
terday. The most interesting fea-
ture of the report is an analysis of
the holdings of loans, showing the
number of foreign holders of United
States bonds compared with domestic
holders. This analysis shows that
out of total of S7S2, 1924 $50 of bonds
only $16,O22,s5O is held by foreign
ers and of the latter amount S12,-
$4,000 are held by insurance compa-
MES and are on deposit with the SUI
perintendents of insurance in the
various states of the union. This
leaves the individual foreign hold
ers of United States bonds $3,444, $50.

resolution at the Missouri Valley
Homeopathic association meeting

discussion of a serious nature fol-

the colder school, and living up to
their doctrine established this after
