The RAILROAD CLAIM.
The cheroKees Are Not Uneasy About
Their Lands.

A staff correspondent Of the
Kansas City Star, writing from
vinita, has the following to say Of
the Katy land grant;
"They cay here that it is mat
tor Of 20 consequence, for Congress
cannot give away what belongs to
the Cherokees; what the Cherokees
paid for with lands owned in the
East. Secondly, the Indian title
is In no way extinguished by allot-
ment and none Of II can be sold
until two years after the govern
ment shall have given the individ-
ual Indiens deeds for the lands.
Thirdly, the act says the grant
shall take effect in the Indian Ter.
riiory only when the lands become
a part OF the public lands Of the
United States and that, Of coutse,
they never will.

make the government pay for

States wants to give away It's mon
ey to railway, the Cherokee dOes
not care. That is the way the
Cherokee looks at il, and In aver
age intelligence the Cherokees will
equal any other race.
"6ome who have taken allot-
ments in the land claimed by the
company are worrying, but the

1.-THE allotment force of the
Dawes commission goes right on
with its work among the Chero-
kees as II did among the Creeks
after the railway filed lie claim
there. The headquarters Of the
force ls COW IN Vinita and the sosn
is lively with government clerks
aud Cherokee claimants. Tss
work here will continue until May,
when the Office will be transferred
to Tahlequah to stay indefinitely.
s'It will take about two and s
half years to complete the allot-
ment among the 5000 citizens Of
the Cherokee Nation. The act Of
Congress making the grant seems
clearly enough to protect the In
diane holdings

zIONIsTS CONGRESS- PLANS.
Delegates from America Sails today to At
tend-Matter to be Discussed.

DR.. Joseph 1. Bluestone, of 22l
Henry street, New York, the last OF
the American delegates to the congress
of the Zionists at Basle, sails today
on the Lucania. Although. DR.. Blue
stone has been elected a delegate to
each of the six Zionist conventions,
this is the first time that ne has been
able to attend.
The most important subject of dis
cussion, according to DIR. Bluestone,
will be the purchase of a tract of land
in eastern Egypt, under the British
flag, and on the Palestine border, to
which sick and needy Russian Jews
nav go. The tract will be large
enough for 5000 families. The .emi-
grants will support themselves by
farming. The Kishineff massacre
started the delegates discussing the
project by letter, and a committee
undoubtedly will be appointed by the
congress to make the necessary
arrangements.
This, of course, is a separate matter
from the negotiations for the charter
ing of Palestine from the Sultan of
Turkey. These latter are being car
ried on by the executive committee,
headed by DR., Herzl, at Vienna. Last
year, the Sultan gave his consent to
turn over the tract, but under condl'
lions which the committee thought
too rigorous. DR.. Bluestone. said yes
terday that he expected the announce
ment at the coming congress that the
Sultan had modified his demands.
Exactly what the unpalatable condi'
tions are, no one on this side of the
Atlantic seems to know.

PAMPHLET OF LABOR LAWS.
New Jersey Experts Prepare Publication
of Interest to WOrkmen.

A pamphlet of the labor laws of
New Jersey has been complied by
William Stainsby, former chief of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Justice
Franklin M. Fort.
The various acts relating to labor
and industry which are grouped in
the general statutes (Revision,,o of 1866,
under the titles Operatives, "~"labor''
and mechanics lien," are brought
together. To these are added the
statutes on the same subjects found
in the annual session laws from 1897
to 1903, both years included.
Such parts of the original act as
have been amended or repealed by
subsequent amended supplements. are
omitted, so that these important
statutes, as given, are thoroughly re-
vised and in every respect up to date.
In the first classification of Laws
Relating to Labor" the digest sum
marizes the statutes on the bureau of
statistics, cooperative societies, fac
tory laws, inspection of mines, the
manufacture of flour and meal food
products, hours of labor, payment Of
wages, securing employees their wages,
right to organize labor unions, con-
tracts of operatives in mills and fac
tories, factory inspectors tenure of
office and trade marks.
The mechanics lien laws and the
laws of master and servant are also
epltomized.

NO CAUSE FOR DISTURBANCE.
Loss of an OVercOat in n Place Where
Whole Suits Were Lost Was
Nothing

A Chicago judge, who is a great
stickler for decorum in court, also
likes his little joke now and then. The
Washington Post says that on oc-
casion there was considerable noise
in the court, and much moving about
on the part of the spectators.
His honor stopped the proceedings
and directed an officer to rap for or
der. Still the disturbance went on. and
the judge finally singled out one man
as the cause of much of the disorder.
Eying him severely, he said:
This is a court, sir. You do not
seem to realize that it is a place where
order must be maintained. The Off
Ger has repeatedly raped for order,
and you have paid no attention. l have
a great mind to fine you for contempt
of court, for you are interfering with
the case under consideration"
The man, who was confused and
frightened, blurred out hat lie had
lost his overcoat in the courtroom, and
was only trying to find it. The judges
face took on a look of %sternness and
amazement.
Lost your overcoat!" said he. "All
this fuss about the loss of an over
coat! Why, men come in here every
day and lose suits without making as
much fuss as you are making!"

TILE WORKS AT EATONTOWN.
Will Employ About Sixty Hands on the
Start-EnIarging the Place.

The work of preparing the Eatontown
hat factory for the manufacturing of tile
is progressing satisfactory. Mr.. Plant,
the proprietor. is giving all his time and
attention to putting the premises in or
der. A lot, fifty feet wide, north of the
factory, has been purchased from Mr..
Steen. This has been done in anticipa-
ton of charging the plant when the bus
mess of concern demands it. There are
at present 5000 square feet of floor space.
The addition of the new buildings will
bring the number up to IL, 500 square
feet. An oven will be erected forty feet
square and forty feet high. A car load
of clay has already been ordered and will
arrive in about two weeks. 1t comes
from .Bridgeton. When the factory
is well under way it will employ about
twenty-five men and thirty girls, besides
some boys.
The tiles to be manufactured will be
vitrified, such as used in ~tire-places, office
floors, bathroom decorations, etc. They
will be manufactured from three different
kinds of clay, one of which will be from
Europe. Mr.. Plant is a man of exper-
fence in the business, having been gener-
al superintendent of the tile factory at
Keyport.

TIE BALL PARK HORROR.
Five Additional Deaths at the
Quaker city.

Five Additional Deaths at the
Quaker City.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10. - Five
additional deaths occurred yesterday
as the result of the accident at the
Philadelphia National league baseball
park, making a total of nine fatalities.
Two hundred victims were treated ut
the various hospitals, and it is believed
that fully 100 more received attention
at various drucstores in the vicinity of
the baseball grounds. OF the injured
still in the hospitals five are said to be
IN a critical condition.
Two games were scheduled between
Boston and Philadelphia. and the at
traction drew over 10000 persons to
the ball park. The accident was in
directly due to Il quarrel between two
drunken men in the street. The Ma
tiOnal league stands are built of steel
and brick. the brick wall extending en-
tirely around the grounds. At the top
of the left field seats and extending
from the grand stand to the end of the
bleachers there was Il walk about three
feet wide which overhung the street.
Men who were standing on the walk
were attracted by Il disturbance in the
street. They leaned owe the side of
the railing to see what was the trouble,
and this drew the attention of other
spectators sitting On the top rows of
the bleachers. A rush was made to
see what the other spectators were
looking at.
The walk became overcrowded, and
without a moments warning the 200
feet of it fell to the sidewalk, twenty
feet below, carrying all who were on
it. There We're probably 5000 persons
sitting in the left field ~bleachers, and
the roar made by the falling timber
created a panic. Instantly the Specta-
tors rose en- masse and made a rush
down the stand and into the playing
field. 1t waS one great black wave of
humanity. Men and boys climbed over
one another in their efforts to escape
from the grounds. Not knowing what
had occurred. the ball players and 9th
ers tried TO stop the mad rush, but they
were swept aside in their unsuccessful
efforts.

WELCOMED.
Resort Men were Sad Yesterday
Morning but were Made
Happy Later.
CROWDS OF PEOPLE.

The smile which the pleasure resort
man was wearing Saturday afternoon
changed very suddenly before the even
ing was half over and their joy was turu-
ed to sadness. The old familiar rain
drops came down about 8 o'clock and the
crowds, which had already gathered at
the resorts. began to scatter for home.
Then the cloudy Sunday morning follow
ed and the resort man was sad indeed
Just about the right time, however,
Old Sol came out and sent his welcomed
rays over the land in a way to bring ever
one out. The resorts began to fill up aud
the Sea Breeze boats had all they could
do to accommodate The throngs. Every
one seemed happy, the sunshine was all
that could be desired and when evening
came on with the beautiful moon the
night was ideal. Sea Breeze got the full
benefit.
Boynton Beach saw a large crowd and
the sacred concert was all that could be
desired. 1t is a pretty place along the
sound and has attractions particularly its
own.
The rain did not interfere with the
dance at Pulaski Park. Crowds were
there and all had a fine time. In spite
Sf the threatening weather everything
passed off successfully.
