TRYING TO DO GOOD.

Hon. .. S. Hall, who has many
friends amongst the Chippewas, and
no enemies, has notified aqNaintances
here that he will be on hand during
the celebration this month. ME. Hall
is now engaged extensively in farm
ing, and has one of the finest stock
farms in this state. He makes a spe-
cialty of raising and selling Short
Horn cattle and Poland China hogs
of which he has some OF the finest in
this state.
Mr.. Hall, who still retains the posi-
tion of Chippewa Commissioner, was
suspended by Secretary Hitchcock on
the grounds that the work OF the
Chippewa Commission was completed.
The Secretary does not seem to regard
the nOn-allotment of land of over two
Thousand Indians of any great i'm
portance since he has authorized these
to be made by Indian agents who
are not authorized to do so by the
act under which allotments are being
made to the Chippewas OF Minnesota.

Roger Aitken, Gabriel LaChapelle,
Peter Parker, Edward Tanner,
John Hanks, Wah-wun. Frank

and he went to work to teach the in
yaders a lesson. Defeat after defeat
of the most disastrous sort was inflict-
ed on the Italians until the treaty of
Ads Ababa was signed in 1896. In
this war Menelek displayed generalship
far superior to hat of any of the off,
GERS pitted against him, and the result
of the conflict has always been regard
ed as the deepest of disgraces by the
Italian army.
Unlike most of his people, who are
rarely of more than medium height,
Menelek is nearly six feet tall, with a
muscular and athletic frame, which
he carries with much dignity. Captain
S. M. Wellby, the African explorer,
says that while Menelek is by no means
handsome he has a very taking and
frank look. His features are large and
massive, and there are intelligence and
pride in his expression. He is an en-
l%ightened monarch, and the reforms

have to travel a much greater dis
lance because of the mountainous
character of the country and the alb
sence of direct roads. 1t will take from
fifteen to twenty days to cover the dis
lance.
Menelek H.. liking of kings and con
quering lion of Judah" is siXty-one
years old. For fourteen years he has
ruled Abyssinia, gradually amalgamat-
ing the four kingdoms of Shoa, Tigre.
Amhara and Godjam into a solidi1ed
empire by the suppression of internal
disturbances and by successfully re-
sisting all aggression from without.
Before assuming imperial authority in
1889 Menelek was prince of Shoa,
which is said to be geographically
identical with the ancient kingdom of
Sheba. Indeed he traces his descent to
an old time Menelek. son of Solomon
and the celebrated queen of Sheba.
This claim Is supported by Abyssinian
tradition, by the Koran and the folk
lore of the Arabs. Both Menelek and
his subjects believe that he has inner
lieu inc HlSuOLu VI LIS SLCdl duNSolOAs
and the belief is said to have had a re-
markable effect on the emperor.
His sway affects a territory of 10000
square miles. ard the prevalent reli-
gion of the country is Christianity,
though of a primitive and barbarous
type. The faith was taken there in the
fourth century and was planted firmly
enough to withstand all subsequent
assaults of the Mohammedans.
Though his uniting of the antag-
onistic elements in his own empire
must be reckoned as strong evidence of
Menelek's ability as a ruler. the crown
ing feather in his cap was the defeat
of Italy in open warfare. Trouble with
the Italians began as far back as 1870,
when Italy began extending its juris-
diction over the Red sea territory in
the vicinity of Massaua. As time went
on she asserted a ~protectorate over
Abysslnia, which was never recogniz-
ed by the Abyssinians. There were
constant clashes. but in 1895 there
came a real war.
BY that time Menelek had formed
and equipped an army of 10000 men,

ma mated by the president to visit

Sending Il mission to Abyssinia is one

ate and extend our trade. Our goods
have filtered into Abyssinia for many
years, almost without the knowledge
of our own people. The empire has a
population of 10000, 900 and a stable
government. while a recently complet-
ed railroad connects 1t with the outer
world.
We now supply Abyssinia with cot.
ton sheeting. petroleum and other sta
pies and are buying hides, carpets.
wool, ivory and civet. Our relations
are important and reciprocal. but not
direct. Hitherto the trade route has
been by sea from Alden to leila and
thence by caravan to Herrar. Within
a few months ii railroad has been fin
ished from Djibouti, a new French
town on the Red sea, to Herrar. the
commercial capital of Abyssinia.
Consul General Skinner will leave
Marse.lles on Oct. % on a war vessel
designated by the navy department and
proceed to the French port of Djibouti
and thence by rail to Herrar. From
that point the consul general and his
party will march overland to Ads
Ababa, the capital of Abyssinia, where
the negotiations with Menelek will be
conducted. 1t is regarded as certain
that an intimation has been conveyed
to the state department that Menelek
will enter into a trade alliance with the
United States.
Inasmuch as the proposed trip will
necessitate a passage through a wild
and sparsely settled country. a small
guard of marines numbering sixteen
men, commanded by a sergeant, will
accompany the consul general. An ap-
plication has been made to the French
government to permit the armed Amer
lean marines to cross the French terri
tory between Djibouti and the borders
of Abyssinia. and it will probably be
granted.

Angurated by him have done wonders
in retrieving Abyssinia from its for
mer state of standardization.
His habits are regular. and he is
neither a gormand nor a hard drink
er, while his morals are said to be of
a character that would not disgrace
the highest civilization. Menelek is
shrewd, farseeing and progressive and
favors commercial relations with this
country because he believes the United
States is not seeking c%onquests.
Robert p. Skinner, the presidents
commissioner, is a native of Massillon,
o., a newspaper man by profession and
the owner of a prosperous paper in his
native city. During the several cam
paigns of the late President Mckinley
Mr.. Skinner accompanied him as a spe-
cial correspondent and had the advan-
tage of the presidents personal friend
ship.
Shortly after his first election Presi-
dent Mckinley appointed Mr.. Skinner
consul to Marseilles. Later. when the
consulate at Marseilles was advanced
in grade, President Roosevelt made
him consul general.
The commercial and geographical sit
uation of Marseilles made it a favor
able point for the study of trade con-
ditions in the Mediterranean. and
among Mr.. SINNERS earliest reports
was n advising the opening of rela-
tons with Abyssinia. On Mr.. Skin

he will resume his duties at Marseilles.

Robert Baker, member of congress
from the Sixth New York district, bor-

a mild sensation by sending back to a
railroad company a complimentary an
nual pass, is a unique character in pol
itics and promises to be one of the
ty-eighth congress.
He declined to appoint a cadet to
the Annapolis Naval academy on the
ground that he did not believe that

naval and military cadets were use
less.
Congressman Baker, who has not yet
taken his seat in congress, is an Eng
lishman by birth. a fluent talker and a
forceful debater. He was elected on
the regular Democratic ticket. but had
the support of the Single Takers, of
whose theories he is a warm advocate.
He is a poor man and takes pride in
telling that he is worth nothing. In
appearance he is small and spare. and,
although he is but forty-one years of
age, his hair is almost white.
