INDIANS TO WORK FOR PAY.
Government Nations to he Cut On-Day
Schools 10 he Established

WASHINGTON, May l9.-Indian Commits
toner Jones has returned to Washington
after an absence of nearly two months
On an inspection tour OF Indian supply
depots and reservations in the West, and
from now on throughout the summer the
work OF civilizing the red man will 60 stead
lily on.
Although what Is known as the johnny
get-your- haircut" order has been revoked.
the wholesale rechristening Of the In
dams, which was begun before Mr. Jones
left Washington, will be continued under
his personal direction. The practice OF
serving Government rations to Indians
ticable, and instead Of this a regular daily
wage for working at road ma ing an on
Government farms and reservations will
be offered to them
The most recent step decided upon as
part Of the general plan for civilizing the
Indian wards Of the Government and max
ing them independent Ia the gradual dis
continuance OF reservation boarding schools
and the establishment in their stead Of
ordinary day schools at every place where
the Indian population is sufficiently large.
These Indian day schools will differ from
the ordinary school in a rural community

hot dinner will be served to the pupils:
Commissioner Jones says he thinks this will
be necessary in order to secure a proper
attendance. but he hopes that in time the
Indians will become sufficiently civilized
not to require this midday meal as an in
ducement to attend school and will carry
a dinner pail or lunch box.
Mr. Jones believes that ii is a good deal
better for the Indian boys and girls to live
at home while their education is going on.
He believes that this keeps them in better
health and in better spirits and prevents
them from getting foolish ideas concern
ing society and the social system. The
adjustment Of the reservation school sys-
TEN will be very gradual.
The Indian Commissioner believes the
present to be the best time to abolish the
practice of serving Government rations to
Indians. A number Of old treaty arrange
ments and agreements requiring the Gov
eminent to furnish the Indians with food
and clot hing have ended, or will soon end.
and they will not be renewed. Those In
dams who are willing to work will be paid
laborers' wages. either in cash or in COM
modties from the Government Indian
warehouses. The Government has al
ready saved over a million dollars as a
result of this policy.

VIII Accept Chinese Indemnity At Rate
Prevailing When Treaty Was Signed

WASHINGTON, May 19,-Information was
received by the State Department to-day
from Mr.. Conger, the American Minister
at Pekin. that the British Government
had followed the course Of the United States
in arranging the terms Of the payment Of
the Boxer indemnity by China.
This Government agreed to accept
payment from China. provided the other
Powers acquiesced, at the rate Of exchange
existing at the time the indemnity treaty
was signed. Since then the rate of ex-
change has increased greatly and payment
by China on the basis of the increased rate
would add several million dollars to her
already large debt to the Powers.

The case Of Governor PFNNYPAcKER Of

demanded of him an apology for calling him
an outcast in the course Of signing the

BIG CITIES HEALTHlEST.

DR.. Karl Ballod read paper
the other day before the inter-
national statistical conference at
Berlin on the mortality in large
cities, contending that cities hav-
ing a population of a million in
western Europe were healthier
than smaller cities, because the
latter's sanitary precautions
were far inferior to those of the
larger cities.
Berlin, he said, was the most
healthful and London and Vienna
came next. Paris was the worst
of all. Country populations were
the least healthy, but country
people going to the cities were.

FOOL HUNTER.

The first crop of hunting &C
cident reports is causing the
usual fall discussion as to what
is to be done to restrain the fool
and protect his victims.
Unfortunately there is nothing
in the game laws that permits
discrimi nation about issuing
hunting licenses. The man who
shoots at the first rustic in the
bush can as easily acquire per
mission to hunt as the man that
waits to see what his mark is be-
fore he shoots.
Severe punishment for the
fool hunter whose carelessness
causes mishap to life or limb is
the most likely suggestion, but
hunting accidents have happened
every fall so far and as yet the
number of guilty parties that
have been brought to justice has
been exceedingly slim.
If an example could be made
of someone it might breed more
carelessness, but in most cases
the man who is brainless enough
to shoot hastily is crafty enough
to make his escape, without in
quiring into the extent of injury
and to remain hidden. Cunning
often takes the place Of wisdom
among beings of small intellect.
