THE DAWES COMMISSION.
Practically Determined to Add No
Members to It.

Members to It.
Now that ex-Gov. Stanley of Kansas has
declined the proffer of the appointment as
member Of the Dawes five civilized Indian
tribes commission, 1t has been practically
determined that that commission will re-
main as at present constituted, and there
fore no further tender Of the Office will be
made. The offer of the place to Mr.. Stanley
was made directly by President Roosevelt
and not by Secretary Hitchcock, who has
jurisdiction over the commission. There
were peculiar reasons of a political or per-
sonal naturethat dictated the tender, and now
that 1t has been declined three members
will constitute the commission from now on
These are Tams Bixby Of Minnesota, the
acting chairman Thomas B. Needles of ILL.,
nois and Clifton r. Breckenridge Of Arkan-
sas. the former representative and ambas-
sador to ST. Petersburg.
The feeling that no more members should
be appointed Is shared. 1t Is said, by not
only the President, but Secretary Hitch
cock and members Of the Indian affairs
committees Of Congress. Mr.. Bixby re-
Gently incurred the dissatisfaction of Sec
rotary Hitchcock. who complained that Mr.
Bixby spent too much Of his time in
Minnesota presumably on account of poll
tics and to the neglect Of his official du-
ties Mr.. Bixby some months ago came to
Washington to meet the charges and there
was considerable gossip about his possible
retirement. Now. however. under new reg
ulations that have been issued governing
the work of the commission all the mem
bers have been more strictly held to ac-
count In the matter of time and work. and
there Is nothing to indicate any immediate
that the commission will continue in ex-
tstence for three years longer.

William Pickens, the negro who won
the junior exhibition prize at Yale, has
been asked to become the head of q
new Afro-American republic to be es-
tablished in Hayti, says a New York
World dispatch from New Haven, Conn.
In his Grafton, which won the prize.

The scheme is to effect conquest
of the island of Hayti by American ne.
groes and set up q government Uto-
plan in character. The junta of the
movement is at Sturgis, KY, and the
correspondent Of the society is n. T..
Nusgrove. He asks that Mr.. Pickens
act as secretary and board member in
| this section and says that the Yale
man would eventually be chosen as
president of the society. It also sug-
gested that he take the lecture plat
form and raise funds for the organiza-
| ton.
| Mr.. Pickens when seen said that he
had the matter under consideration
and would seek advice before enlist
ing his services in the movements In
discussing the plan he said:
innovations and novelties in the
methods of government are proposed
after Hayti has been overcome. While
the government would be republican
in its political formation it would be
administered as gigantic corpora
tion, of which all members of the So
ciety would be stockholders. All land
titles and franchises are to be vested
in the state. All dangerous and incor-

Scheme to Fool Chinch Bugs.

The state experiment station has
sent its entomologist to inquire into
the chinch bug situation around St.
Cloud, and see what, if anything, can
be done next year to lessen the injury
from these pests. He visited the farms
of Bowling Bros, Harborn, N. P.Clark,
Michael Bretz and others. He reports
that conditions have not been exagger-
ated on Clark's upper farm Last year
chinch bugs took. the young carrot
crop.
Entomologist Washburn intimates
that strip of millet about the corn,
planted at such a time that it would
be about ten inches high when the
bugs go from barley or wheat to corn,
might induce them to prefer millet Or
pidgeon grass to corn This would
probably allow the corn to get ahead
of them and they could be destroyed
On the millet in various ways.
Diseased chinch bugs are no longer
sent out by the station, it having been
proved impracticable.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Cannot Prove Impurities.


The state dairy and food depart
ment has decided to abandon the pro-
secution of dealers who handle impure
maple sugar until the department can
prove the impurity of product.
This is result Of a test made by q
st. Paul wholesale firm, which sent a
number of samples to the department
and asked an analysis.
The chemists were unable to esti-
mate the exact amount of maple and
cane sugar used in the doctored sam
pies and the department has decided
that until it can do better work an
alyzing samples it cannot maintain a
q case in court.
The officials claim an unfair advan-
tage was taken of the department and
that the samples were cleverly doc
tored.
The commission is determined to con-
duct series of tests to determine the
exact standard of maple sugar and IN
til such standard had been determined
they would admit the sale of maple
syrup which did not contain more than
a half cane sugar.

The School Fund.

The Minnesota permanent school
fund has reached the SIS, 900, 600 mark.
No other state except Texas has SO
large fund, and state officials esti-
mate that it will not be long before
Minnesota will lead them all Of this
fund approximately 100000 is IN
paid principal on land contracts, and of
the remaining $4,000, 900, So, 900 is
invested in Understanding bonds
The average rate of interest is per
cent. Estimates of the amount that the
fund will ultimately reach when all
the lands are sold are put at higher
figures by each succeeding state audi
tor. It seems that the human mind is
incapable of approaching the wealth
of Minnesota's resources. Former
State Auditor w. W.. Braden created
quite sensation when he stated that
the fund would ultimately reach $780,
600, 900. State treasury officials put
the figure at $50, ZOO, 900.

The state board of investment will

able to protect the school districts,
