Many Indians I'm Want.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Jones to-day received a
telegram from Senator Rawlins, of Utah
reporting that 5000 Indians on the Navajo
reservation in Utah are starving and re-
questing that assistance be dispatched
them While the officials here have no
knowledge that such large number Of In
dams are in want il is known that there
are hundreds in a deplorable condition and
that the circumstances warrant immediate
action. The restitution is caused by the
lack of vegetation due to excessive
drought.
Commissioner Jones has asked authority
from the secretary Of the interior to ex-
pend $1,000 with which 10 purchase sub
sistence supplies to relieve the starving In
dams. Owing to the exigency of the case
the commissioner asks that the supplies be
purcha sed in the open market and thus
save the time required by advertising for
bids. The secretary has granted the re-
quest and relief will be sent the Indians at

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S-The State De-
partment has decided to begin at once the
distribution of the first installment Of the
Chinese indemnity funds, amounting to
about $4,000. among the missionary So
cieties and individuals who suffered from
the Boxer uprisings. The claims commit
tee, composed of Minister Conger, Secre-
tary cambridge and United States Consul
Ragsdale, has adopted the plan of report
ing upon the merits of the claims in in
stallments instead of making report at
the end OF the investigation. Their first re-
port, which has just been received. passes
upon sixty claims out of a total of about
$50. These sixty claims amount in
the aggregate to about 100000 so the
first installment Of the Chinese indemnity
will not be large enough to defray that
total Instead of waiting until sufficient
money is at hand for this purpose, the
acting solicitor of the department, Mr.
Vandyke, recommended that a payment
Of Is per cent be made to each of these
claimants Immediately. and this plan has
been adopted by the department. 1t is ex-
pected that the total of the claims allowed
will amount to about g, 500 900.

PITTSTON. Pa, Aug. 2S.-The chances
for an early resumption of the mines in the
anthracite coal fields, on the same scale
as they were operated previous to the
strike of the mine workers, are not very
good, according TO the outlook here. The
superintendents of the coal companies prac-
tically admit that at the present rate there
is no chance Of getting the collieries open
for many weeks. While an average of 5000
tons of mined coal is being daily prepared
in the district, the average for 1900 when
but 176 days were worked during the year,
was 2S qSS tons per day.

SEPARATE SCHOOL HOUSES.
Must be Provided for colored Children
When Demanded.

Judge John II. Burford has decided
that the county must provide sepa-
rate school house and teacher in
every district in the county, where It
may be asked, no matter if there is
but one colored child of school age in
the district.
The decision was given in a case
from a district in Mulhall township.
wherein coloreG citizen has three
children of school age, but no facilities
provided him for giving his children
an education. The township backed
by the county, has carried the Ques On
to the Oklahoma supreme court.
This is an important opinion at thB
time on account of the fact that FIVE
mills levey is necessary next year to
maintain the separate schools already
in operation.
