AN ERROR IN THE WARRANT.
Check for Fiorida's Indian War
Claims to BE Corrected.

Tallahassee, Fla, July lion
Thursday Gov. Jennings received a
warrant from the United States Treas
ury Department, purporting to be in
payment of Florida's Indian war claim,
but an error had been made in speci-
flying the amount. The warrant was
turned over to State Treasurer Whit
field to be collected. He Immediately
mailed it to Washington for collection,
whereupon the Governor received a
telegram from Washington relative to
the error which was made in Wash
ington. 1t is thought that this error
will somewhat delay final and proper
adjustment of the matter.

ARIZONA SNAKE LORE.
The Territory Natural Breeding
Ground for the Rather.

oFOuHu tOE
From the New York Sun.
The Smithsonian Institution author
tiles say that more varieties OF poison
GUS snakes are found in Arizona than
in any other part of the United States.
The best authority on Arizona snakes
is believed to be Graham Peck, who
has been studying them for years.
mo other region in the United States

ground for the rattlesnake as is South

The rocks OF the mountains and foot
hills are Of heavy yellow and gray
color and the soil is so like the hues
of a RATHER that a snake can move
slowly along and hardly be perceived
by person fifty feet away. The hot,
dry air and the warm, sandy earth,
and the immense quantity of small
birds and ground squirrels in the
mountain canyons and brush all COM
bine to make life for rattlesnakes in
this region one of rare ease and COM
fort.
There are literally tens of thous-
ands of rattlers in the sage brush and
chaparral along the edge of South
Arizona wastes. They grow to enor-
nous size, and 1t is common to read
of the capture of rattlesnakes five
and six feet long, with fourteen and
fifteen rattles.

full in the mountainous parts Of Arl-

London, July lit was officially
stated to-day that the coronation of
King Edward will take place between
Aug. 3 and Aug. 10. The proposed
procession has been abandoned.
The text of the official announcement
concerning the coronation of King Ed
ward was issued from the Earl Mar
shaFs office, and is as follows:
THE Kings medical advisers state
that his majesty's progress has been
more speedy and less complicated than
was at first anticipated His majes-
tvs excellent constitution has played
a conspicuous part in bringing this
about. If the present rate of progress
is maintained and If no complication
arises, the Kings medical advisers are
of the opinion that his majesty would
be able to undergo the fatigue of the
coronation ceremony on a day between
exact day will shortly be announced
The procession through London, which
was to have taken place the day fol-
lowing the coronation, is cancelled"
1t is understood that the general
outline of the plan of the procession
from Westminster Abbey the route to
be followed, etc, will not be changed
but the pageant will be shorn of some
of its intended magnificence. The de-
tails of the programme will be settled
by the King himself. His physicians
advise that the ceremony should not
exceed one hour.
The royal yacht will probably be
moored off Cowes, Isle of Wight, until
the condition of the Kings health JUS
titles cruise.
Cuts in Coronation Programme.
London, July lit is officially an
nounced that there will be no royal
progress, as originally planned, the
day after the coronation, and there
will be no procession apart from that
in which their majesties will proceed
from Buckingham Palace to Westmin-
ster Abbey and return.
1t is now considered practically GER
tain, in view of this announcement,
that King Edward will be crowned

he was instrumental in locating IL az

Rome, July lit is understood that
the question of the withdrawal of the
friars from the Philippine Islands could

would accept the oral assurance of the

only President Roosevelt can decide

willing to Make Concessions.


Washington, July 1.-THE negotia-
tions now in progress at the Vatican
respecting the Philippine friars, and
their lands, will not fail. OF that the
administration officials here feel GER
tain. It was realized at the begin
ming when Gov. Taft's instructions
were framed that they represented the
extreme of our claims. and that they
did not preclude the idea of reasonable
compromise by mutual concessions. The
negotiations are proceeding in this
spirit The United States government
will not secure everything it
desired, because, even If the
Pope were disposed to concede these
things, the negotiations have developed
the fact that although his power is
theoretically unlimited, in actuality
the internal policies of the Vatican
impose conditions even upon the chief
prelate of the church which he must
observe. Therefore immediate and
complete withdrawal of the Spanish
friars from the Philippines is not now
expected, but it is believed that the
result desired can be accomplished by
an arrangement for the substitution
of friars of other nationality and the
principal issue at present is as to the
time within which this change can be
brought about.
AS the friars are gathered almost
altogether in Manila and are a heavy
charge upon the converts and MEM
bers of the Catholic church outside the
order, who are maintaining them,
it is expected that they will hasten the
solution of the problem by themselves
voluntarily seeking other fields of la
bor outside of the archipelago, for it is
not held to be within the power of the
United States government to re-estab-
fish them in their parishes against the
desires of the native Catholics.
Religion in the schools.
Although Gov. Taft must take con-
cessons upon this point he has been
successful IN others and especially so
in the matter of religious education in
the public schools. The cardinals COM
mittee insisted strongly that any ar
rangement made with Gov. Taft must
include some provision for religious
training in the schools, but it appears
now that the committee has consented
to an indefinite postponement of this
issue, which is in itself a satisfactory
solution of the case from the United
States standpoint.
