SUN DANCE TORTURE.
Dr. Dorsey Offers nm Explanation of
 His PrcscMce.

5 Los Angeles. Cal. Aug. 12. Dr. George A. Dorsey. curator of anthropo- logy of the Field Columbian museum, of Chicago, who has just arrived here, has given out an interview concerning the published accounts of his recent visit with Dr. Mooney to the Cheyenne In- dians in Oklahoma. Dr. Dorsey con- tends that the sun dance is religion to the Indians and that they have a right to celebrate it under the clause of the constitution granting American citizens freedom of worship.
 With regard to statements made to the Indian bureau at Washington by MT. Seger, superintendent of the reser- yation school Dr. Dorsey makes charges of dupHcity and ignorance and says that segers allegations were not disinter- ested.
 aConcerning the torture itself which MT. Seger describes said pr. Dorsey, mot only did pr. Mooney and myself not instigate it. but we actually knew nothing about 1t until the Indian was we'll on his way, making his rounds of the camp circle. This torture occurred, by the way. on the morning following the final rites of the ceremony and had nothing to do with the performance or the so-called sun dance.

 Splendid weather marked the state militia's third day at camp yesterday. The boys seem to be thoroughly enjoy ing life, and while there Is considerable hard work. no grurnbling has yet been heard.
 Camp Chamberlain was an interest 2 ing and inspiring scene all day, and there were greater number of visitors than there have been any other day this week.
 Friends of the officers and men from all over the state are making visits to the camp and are being entertained right royalty The camp this year is one of the most orderly that has ever been held, officers and men alike doing all they can to make it so. The reg ular prescribed programme is being carried out faithfully, and everything moves with the regularity of clock work.
 Defects which were noticeable in the soldiers earlier in the week have been corrected, and precision and directness are now the order of events. The boys are all developing good coats of tan and they say that they never felt better in their lives.
 There is considerable doing after taps | at night, but the hazing is not as stren- nous nor as noisy as usual. Several homes are nightly broken up by the tent ropes being cut and numbers of faces are blackened, but all is taken good -naturedly.
 The men were given quite a treat yes- terday by being fed with hroiled chick en, pie, etc. i
 It was the duty of the Fourth regi- ment to perform the drill of ditch-dig- ging, and it kept the men working like beavers in the hot sun nearly all the morning While they worked they sang a song entitled Bring Me My Little Pick and Shovel.n The men were given "a thorough practice in throwing up hasty intrenchments, and went at the unaceustomed work with vigor. Colonel Sucher took the Second regi- ment to the eastern part of the parade ground, where they pitched shelter tents for about an hour and went through other practice in making and
 breaking camp As soon as they re- turned to quarters the First Separate
 company and the Machine Gun battery

Better understanding Among Inssr~
 ssts That Have at Various Times Con-
 floted- The Official Announcement.
 New York, Aug. 12.-The long expect ed announcement that the Seaboard Air Line had passed, in part at least, prac- tically into new hands was made to-day
 by Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co, who issued a statement showing that inter ests representing the Rock Island and St Louis and San Francisco railroads had secured representation in the Sea-
 board directorate and board of voting
 trustees. The official statement was as, follows:
 "Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co. am nounce that they have completed nego- tiations whereby new and important in-
 terests have become identified with the Seaboard Air Line Railroad company. B. F. Yoakum and H. Clay Pierce and B. F. Guinness, of Ladenburg. Thal-: mann & Co.,, and oakleigh Thorne, president of the North American Trust company, have been elected voting trus- tees of the Seaboard Air Line railroad President John skelton Williams also announces that B. F. Yoakum, H. Clay Pierce, Oakleigh Thorne and s. B. Van- worst have been elected directors of the Seaboard Air Line railroad. MT Yoakum is president of the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad.
 MT. Yoakum Is president of the St.. Louis and San Francisco railroad, for which company J. P. Morgan & co. are 1 fiscal agents.
 The official announcement of the deal also said:
 "The change of personnel of voting l trustees of the stock of the Seaboard Air line company does not mean the purchase of that company by Rock Isl- and or Frisco interests, although the ! Frisco lines extend into Birmingham and are a part of the Southern sttua- ton. It does, however, emphasize the fact that all the great railroad systems are carrying out the policy of more ! closely cementing the railroad trans- portation interests of the country which will greatly retard, and 1t is hoped en- tirely prevent, the demoraliza ation of the rate situation or the unnecessary con lstruction and duplication or property, | "Attention is called to the fact thai with the discontinuance of any further
 construction by the Ses5essfd Air Line I the value of the properties are greatly
 enhanced. And another gratifying fact at this time, and which IS further evi-
 dence of the future disposition of the
 railroads of the United States, Is thai this daai does not cali for any financing or supplying of new money. 7 | (Continued on Second Page.)

CURRENCY BILL DISCUSSED
SENATE,S FINANCE SUB-C0MMIT-
 TEE SEES PRESIDENT.
oonfers with Him Regarding New Measure Which Is to be Introduced at E1traorainury Session of Congress in { November--A Measure Being Drafted That wiIl Make Currency system More Elastic.

Oyster Bay. N. Y., Aug. 12.-President Roosevelt has as his guests tonight at sagamore Hill the members of the sub committee of the senate committee on finance, which is engaged in drafting a currency measure to be submitted to congress next fall. The subcommittee consists of Senators, Aldrich, of Rhode Island, chairman; Platt, of Connecticut,
 Allison, of Iowa, and Spooner. of Wis #consin.
 Prior to the adjournment Of congress
 last spring this subcommittee was ap-
 pointed and authorized to sit during the
 recess of congress to study the financial
 situation and prepare a measure to
 meet the requirements of the situation,
 as the committee viewed it, for intro
 duction when the senate should recon
 vene On this work the committee,
 sometimes as individuals, part of the time as a body, has been engaged dur ing the great part of the summer. De- siring to consult with President Roose- welt regarding the work, the sub-com- |nlittee came to Oyster Bay late this af- ternoon.
 It could not be ascertained definitely whether draft of a currency measure had been made and was to be discussed to- night or not, but as the senators
 have been engaged for two days at Warwick with their clerks and stenog- lraphers it is reasonably certain that some progress has been made toward lthe preparation of currency bill. The object of the committee is to as certain the views of President Roose- welt with definiteness in order, if pos sible, to meet them in the framing of the measure. It is understood to be 1 the desire of all, including the presi- dent, that the bill should be ready for Introduction at the extraordinary ses- sion which, the president has announce led, he will call for Monday, November 1 s. Prior to that time the sub-commit- | tee will submit Its draft of the proposed measure to the full republican member ship of the senate committee on finance land probably to such other republican tsenators as may be accessible It IS hoped that a measure may be drawn up ithat will meet the approval of all re jpublican senators, so that when 1t is in ltroduced it may have the undivided lparty support. " It can be said that the president is
 not welded to any particular plan oi
 currency reform, so-called, but desires
 simply that a practicable scheme bf tevofve6 and pitt pit iiiiit te the form Of legis. llation at an early date that will render 1.-the currency system of the country tile imore elastic and the less likely to be af. Ifected by the fluctuations of values ol Ithe demands for money at crop-movine
 seasons, In general way, his ideas Ihave been presented in some of hi lspeectes during recent months.
