Of Muskogee, has notified the Of
ficials ofthe Chickasaw Nation that
on May 10, there will be 500 900

asaw school warrants.
As there will be more than
double that amount Of warrants
due at that time this is causing
considerable apprehension on the
part of the board of education as
it is feared that If but $40, 600 is to
be paid now on the school war
rants some of the schools if not
all Of them will be compelled to

A CALIFORNIA TRIP

A Most Delightful Experience
He Visited the Old Cathedral

Prison and Long Beach
Los Angeles, Cal, May 10.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 10.
To the well remembered staff Of
the Daily Express.
Dear Ffisnds:-We are now in
California. We left FL Reno Wed
nesday morning four hours late,
Amarillo the same day twelve
hours late, and got out of Dalh0rt,
Thursday afternoon tweniy-fOur
hours late, so We are twenty -four
hours late all the way through; but
if California towns are as good as
they look we will bavetbat twenty
four hours made up before this
reaches you.
/ Our trip has been pleasant one
We had q seven hour stop over at
I'll Paso, and crossed the Rio
Grande to Juarez, Mexico, with
the esteemed Mrs. Frank Thur
man as our guide, and she left 20
step untaken TO make the tIip a
long TO be remembered one. We
visited the old Catholic church,
400 years old, but it is being well
kept and improved, and is still a
beauty. We then visited the Mex
ican post office and mailed home a
few postal cards, then went to the
Military Prison and Soldiers Bar
racks and back through the curious
market, where peppers seemed to
be the chief seller, and lastly to
the curiosity stores, after which we
caught car for tie United States.
We all took luncheon together at
the Orendorff When l speak of
eve" or .'our party" 1 mean the
members OF our sleeper, as follows:
Mrs. Frank Thurman, OF Deming /,
New Mexico, Mr.. and Mrs. W. P.
Adams, OF Boston, en- route for
Los Angeles; Mr.. Bunch, from
Arkansas, G. j. Bass, Tourist
Agent from Memphis, Mr.. J. w.
Norris and myself from Chick
asba.
After luncheon we made ready
for our departure. At $40 p. m.
Pacific time, the train pulled out
Of El Paso, consisting of two large
Mogul engines, two baggage cars,
one smoker, one chair car, seven
sleepers and one dining car; max
ing 10 all the well known eSunsei

rate of 80 miles an hour on level
track and mile minute by the
watch, when running down grade.
AT 6 O'Clock we stopped atDeming,
n. NJ, where we lost our merriest
member, Mrs. Thurman. As !
had a letter to Mr.. George A..
Shepard at this place. 1 alighted
from the train with Mrs Thurman
and was soon shaking hands with
the gentlemen in question, and also
with Mr.. Thurman. Mr.. Shepard
inquired anxiously after the well
fare of his brother and sister, Mr..
Horace aud Miss Shepard, of Chick
asho, and we were soon deeply in
terested in conversation, cut all
too short by the hurried departure
Of the train.
The bell rang, and with hRsty
good-byes to our delightful COM
panions of few bOurs, we we're
soon speeding away from DemIng.
Our train rolled along for the next
600 miles across a mountainous
desert Of sand and rocks, with lit
tie 10 mark it's burning surface
save an occasional tree or cactus.
at Yuma. on the Colorado river,
we saw number of the Yuma In
dians. They ase very different
from our Territory Indians. They
came TO the train with beautiful
bouquets and bead work for sale.
Many people bought and paid good
/ prices for their goods.
For the last 100 miles before
reaching Los Angeles, we trav-
ersed some of the most beautiful
country on the continent, with
beautiful valleys, and herds ofpret-
ty horses and cattle. lovely fields
OF small gram, nice houses and i'm
Drovements of the best. Further
down the valley towards Los An
geles we strike the lovely and fra
grant orange and lemon groves.
Some trees are laden with the
green fruit, some with the ripe,
yellow, and Others are covered
with the white blossoms, which
fill the whole atmosphere with
fragrance too delicious to describe.
At 1880 p. m. we rolled into the
city OF Los Angeles.
This morning at 10 o'clock we
boarded an electric car for Long
beach, % miles south of the city,
where we arrived 30 minutes later.
Along the car line from the city to
the beach, we pass through such
country as 1 have just described.
At orr destination we find a beau
tifui little pleasure resort. For o
mile slong the beach people are
bathing in the breakers or lying In
the sand. Steamers leave the
wharf every two hours for San
Pedros, Cataline Isles and the
break waters. We returned to
the city at 5 p. m. My compan-
ior, Mr.. Norris, is completely tax
en up with everything. If things
turn out as good as they look, Cali
foruia is liable to be bothered with
rae for some time. The one thing
lacking to make California com
plete for me is the members and
pleasures of the Washits Club.
with best wishes to all remain
the same,

Wages Cut at Mines.

Altoona, Pa.-The eyes of every Or
ganized miner in this section are
turned toward the Meyersdale field
where, 1t is announced, the Somerset
Coal company, the Merchants Coal
company and the w. X. Niver Coal
company put into effect an agreement
between the three corporations reduc-
ing the wages of their employees 10
cents per ton on all coal mined
Reductions of the wages of all men
employed on day work will also be
be made accordingly.
A strike is threatened that will in
volve more than $500 men. The ma
jority of the men employed in the Mey-
ersdale field are members of the United
Mine Workers organization
Organizers and officials of the mine
workers are on the ground and meet
ings are being held with considerable
frequency.
The depression in the coal trade is
given by the corporations as the rea-
son for the reduction in wages. Should
the move on the part of the companies
mentioned be a successful one, it will
affect the wage rate in other districts.

John W. Mallott for the payment OF
$1,000 for skin that was taken from
him and grated upon Mallott, and
says he will bring suit on the contract.
Mallott was railroad engine driver
five years ago and was seriously in

sary TO graft skin upon the wounl.
Condor agreed to submit himself TO
the physicians and permit them to use
from him such skin as was necessary

MISUNDERSTANDING 10 a state

a copy Of which has just been received
here. Gen. Leonard Woods recent cam
paign against the Moros vas brought
about by a wanton insult TO the Mo-
hometan faith, which is the religion OF
the Moros.
A Moro, Mahometan. disemboweled
a private OF the 18th infantry in the
streets of Jolo and was shot to death
by members of the regiment After
placing the body of the murderer in a
grave soldiers of the 18th infantry. il
is alleged by the Manila Cable News.
by direction Of Lieut.-Col. Rogers Of
the 18th infantry, suspended pig over
the grave, cut its throat, let its blood
drip on the body, and then lowered the
dead animal into the grave with the
Mahometan.
No more deadly insult could have
been offered the Mahometan faith. To
the Mahometan the pig is unclean. The
believer is strictly commanded not to
touch il or eat ii. and contact with il
is regarded as contamination of the
most odious character.
1t seems incredible that an American
officer could have been SO foolish or
have purposely aroused the religious
fanaticism of the Moros. 1t was this
gross insult to their religion, according
to the Cable News, that caused the
Moros to take up arms.

| Washington-Rear Admiral Robley
d. Evans, commander-in-chief of the
Asiatic feet, has dispatched the gun
boat Annapolis to Tamsui. Formosa,
to make thorough investigation into
the attack on the crew of the American
ship Benjamin Sewall, which was aban-
doned Oct. about 40 miles southeast
of the island of Botel Tobago Upon
the result of the mission of the An
napolis will depend the decision of the
state department as to whether an in
quiry of the Tokyog will be necessary.
Official details of the search for the
missing boats crew from the wreck of
the Benjamin Sewall, made by the Don
Juan de Austria and the Wilmington
are contained in reports received at
the navy department
| On the arrival of these gunboats at
South Cape, Formosa, the Don Juan de
Austria was ordered to proceed to b.
tel Tobago, where il was learned that
three Japanese shipwrecked sailors
from the Sewall were to be found One
of these told the story of their expe-
rience to Lieutenant Commander Dem
field, commanding the Don Juan de
Austria, briefly to this effect
The Benjamin Sewall sailed from
Singapore for Shanghai with a cargo
of teak. When three days out she was
struck by typhoon and lost all three
masts. The captain gave the order for
all hands to abandon ship. Aoki, who
tells the story, went in boat in charge
of the chief officer, together with the
third mate and his wife, two Japanese
seamen, two Manila seamen, an Amer
lean negro, Chinese cook. Chinese
carpenter and Russian seaman.
Shortly before sunset, on Oct 10,
when five miles from the north shore
of the island they were attacked by
four canoes, each manned by about IL

boat After this they made off, having
been with us about an hour. 1t was
now quite dark and we could not see
where they went"
Aoki says that the negro and the
Chinese cook were drowned 10 minutes
after the boat capsized, and later the
chief mate, who was an old man. All
of the remainder made for the shore,
except the third mate, who was an
American, and the Japanese woman,
who, as she could not swim to the
shore, the third mate refused to leave
When the three Japanese reached the
shore they hid among the mountains,
fearing another attack from the saw
ages. After remaining in hiding five
days they were rescued by party of
natives and brought to the police sta
ton.
The Japanese government has Or
dered thorough search made for the
five missing persons on Botel Tobago

cent Birth.
The idea OF tuuneling the Hudson Is
BY no means Of recent birth. Several
attempts in this direction have been
made since 1874. when the nrst com
pany TO undertake the construction OF
a sub.Hudson tunnel came into being.
Little progress had been made, how
ever. when. through an accident 10 the
door of an air-lock al a critical mo-
ment. the tunnel was flooded and a
number of lsborers were drowned
The water was pumped out and work
resumed. but a bad leak once more
caused a long delay BY this time
something had been accomplished In
both tunnels. but the company had
now come To the end OF It's financial
resources. and was obliged TO order a
permanent cessation OF work. The
years passed, and eventually an Eng
lish syndicate undertook TO complete
the tunnel. In their turn they found
the task beyond their powers
Finally Mr. Jacobs declared his
willingness to begin where the others,
defeated, had withdrawn. He and his
associates are now satisfied that they
have solved the most difficult problem
likely to arise in this or future sub
aqueous tunnel work. They have as
suredly proved that air, If properly re-
inforced, will serve TO stem the most
powerful of torrents and the demon
stration OF this must be said to mark
milestone in the march of engineering
