Kiowa and Comanche Indians in Ok
lahoma, and his associates, in their
case against the secretary of the in
terror, looking to overturning the
governments action in throwing open
their lands last summer. They al
legged that the land was taken from
them wrongfully.
The motion was denied on the
ground that no new matter had been
brought out, and said the congress
sional ratification act was final and
conclusive, and that the courts have
no jurisdiction over the subject. The
decision expressed the hope that the
United States supreme court may

TO SUPPRESS TRAIN ROBBERY.
Bill for this Purpose ReDorted from
the Judiciary Committee-The
Death Penalty.

Washington, March 15.-Representa-
tive Kahn, of California, yesterday
submitted the report of the judiciary
committee on the bill to suppHess
train robberies. He points out the
extent of these depredations,. par
ticularly in sparsely-settled localities,
where it is difficult to organize a
posse.
The report says we are accustomed
to sneer at the futile efforts of Tur-
key, Greece, Spain and other coun-
tries to stop brigandage, yet we have,
in train robbing, a system involving
both robbery and murder, as afro
cious as brigandage.
The bill reportedprovides the death
penalty TO train robbers when death
results TO anyone on the train, other
wise imprisonment from five to ten
years.

NOT A CASE FOR MEDALS.
The Naval Board of Awards Refuses
Recognize the Claims of the
Crew of the Yosemite.
measure.

Washington, March 15.-Some time
ago the naval board of awards de-
cided that the engagement in which
the United States steamer Yosemite
took part in June, 1898, was not big
enough in it's eyes to warrant thd
bestowal of West Indian campaign
medals upon the surviving members
of the crew
a large part of the Yosemite's com
plement during the war with Spain
was made of naval militiamen of
Detroit, Mich, and an appeal was
made from that quarter to the presi-
dent against the boards decision.
The matter was referred back to the
board, and it yesterday reported to
Secretary Long that after careful
reconsideration of facts, it still holds
that, while the conduct of the crew
is shown to have been most COM
mendable, the actual Importance of
the affair was not such as to warrant
commemorative medals.
1t is declared that the Yosemite
was not injured by the enemy's fire,
and that she inflicted no damage of
any consequence to the Spaniards,
except to force the transport An
tonic Lopez to run ashore to escape
capture.

CHINESE EXCLUSION BILL.
VIII Move to Make ii the Unfinished
Business on the Calendar
VIII Meet Opposition.

Washington, March 15.--Senatol
Penrose, who, as chairman OF the
committee on immigration, mas
charge of the Chinese exclusion D'ii,
gave notice in the senate, yesterday
that upon the disposition of the Dill
providing for the protection OF 1he
president he would move to make the
Chinese exclusion bill the untinlsheu
business on the senate calendar, Win
the object of securing the earnest
possible consideration for it.
Senator Proctor and Senator
Spooner indicated possible objections
because of the hitherto general un-
derstanding that the oleomargarlne
bill should be given right of way after
the presidential protection bill, but
Senator Penrose said later that he
hoped to reach an amicable arrange
ment with the senators who are
pressing the oleogargarine hlll
That measure, he felt sure. would
arouse much debate, and he hoped
there would be no long controversy
over the Chinese bill. He considers
early action on the Chinese bill very
necessary, because of the fact that
the law which now controls in the
matter of the exclusion of the Chin
ese will expire early in May. He eX-
presses the opinion that whatever
concession may be made to favor the
oleomargarine bill, the Chinese bill
will not be held for the Nicaragua
canal bill, because of the certainty
of the prolonged debate on that
measure

The president has repeatedly suf-
fered through Misrepresentation
concerning him and his attitude by
members of congress, and in several
instances has been compelled to make
official denials. The most notable
case grew out of the stories of his
change of attitude on Cuban ques-
tions circulated at the capital by the
beet-sugar lobbyists and representa-
tives. These became so persistent
and notorious that fiat denial be-
came necessary from the White
House.

The reduction in the number of
troops in the Philippines from the
present mark of 10000 to about 31,-
900 will soon begin. 1t is the belief
of the authorities in Washington
nat the reduction can safely be
zaade. although some of the higher Of
ficers on the ground were recently
quoted as saying that the troops in
the islands ought to be increased in
stead of diminished. The country
hopes that no mistake is made in the
reduction.

The authoritative announcement
that France will have larger ex-
hibit at the St. Louis Worlds fair
than she had at Chicago, in 1898, need
not surprise anybody. There are
several reasons for Frances purpose.
She has greater sentimental inter-
est in the St. Louis Worlds fair than
she had in the Columbian exposition,
as it commentaries an event with
which she was intimately connected.

Gen. Lord Methuen, defeated and
captured by the Boer general, De-
larey, has been released and returned
into the British lines, unharmed save
for the wound which he received in
the action ending in the rout of his
forces by the partiot farmers at
tacking them. This generosity on the
part of the Beers, the cable reports
announce, has astonished all En-
gland. 1t was feared that Methuen
would be shot in retaliation for the
heartless execution of the Boer gen
eral, Scheepers, by the British.

China has another rebellion on its
hands, but it is safe to predict that
this one will not be allowed to go to
the lengths which the Boxer rising
in 1900 attained. The intervention of
the United States, Japan and several
of the nations of Europe at that time
showed the Chinese government that
its immunity from outside surveil-
lance is not as great as it used to be.

In reference to the newspaper sto-
ries about Miss Roosevelt not going
to the coronation, a close friend of
the president said: mo invitation
whatever was received from the Ger
man court for Miss Roosevelt, and
nothing from the English court. 1t
had never been decided that Miss
Roosevelt was to go. The matter had
simply been talked over exactly as
half a dozen plans were talked over.
Some of these plans have been adopt
ed and some have not. This is one
of the plans which, for various rea-
sons, it was decided not to adopt"

Prince Henry had pleasant time
while he was in the United States. No
member of royal house ever had a
more enjoyable occasion anywhere on
any visit to any country .han the
brother of William III. had while he
was here. The effect of the visit will
undoubtedly be favorable. 1t will
strenthen the feelings of friendship
between the two countries directly
concerned.

The Beers are performing wonders

The Beers are performing wonders
considering their limited resources.
They have to improvise supplies and
ammunition and have no settled base.
Nevertheless, they seem to keep in
good condition, turn up in force i'll
unexpected quarters and seldom
strike an ineffective blow. The Beers
in the field are the picked men, who
remain after long pcrloc Of season
ing.
The Canton times., 1902-03-21

On July s last Gen. Kitchener re-
ported, in an official dispatch, that
the number of Beers remaining un-
der arms was 1880. Since then he
has placed the Boer casualties and
surrenders at 1888. This sort of
arithemetic suggests another form
of military laundering.

DIED Of STARVATION,
A New York Man Perishes for
Lack of Food.

BROOKLYN. y. Y, December 1.-(Spe-
cial)-Unidentified man died from star
walton in ST. GATHERINGS Hospital to-day.
His body. once strong and robust, wasted
away until it weighed only seventy-five
pounds. The man was found on the
street His clothes were wet through.
He was apparently conscious at that
time, but was unable to talk. A police
man called the ambulance from st.
GATHERINGS and took him TO the hospi-
tai. Powerful restoratives were admins
tered in an effort to bring him back to
consciousness. but after breathing faint
ly for several hours, he died without be-
ing able to utter a word There was
nothing in his clothes to show his iden-
tity.
The man was apparently about so years
old. although the hardships he had en-
dured may have made him prematurely
old looking. He was nearly six feet
tall and should normally have weighed
more than twice as much as he did

packing boxes for canned goods in the
counties Of Rocllbridge Botetourt. and
Augusta. where there are many canning
plants operated from time TO time, ac-

mountains supply fine quality of white
wood which is best adapted for the plr
pose of box manufacture. and the close

turn our from 2G00 to $500 eases per day
when in full running order, and some
twenty-five or thirty hands will be en-

General Wavnee which authorized him to
open up three rural routes in Rockbridse
county January LIST. These routes were
laid off by Inspector Barr and will be
known as routes No. l. ? and from
