Baron Won Sternbers does not like his

States, and so it was arranged that he
should visit the President at Oyster Bay
and be formally presented last Saturday.
There was good deal Of fuss and feath-

Baron Won Sternburg arrived at Oyster
Bay from New York at 9 o'clock Saturday
morning. He went to the hotel, where he
was met by Col. Symons. who escorted
the Ambassador to Sycamore Hill. The
Ambassador wore court dress, and Col.
Symons his full-dress uniform. Assistant
Secretary Loomis presented Baron Won
Sternburg to the President.
Immediately after the presentation the
Ambassador returned TO the village and
laid aside his court dress. He lunched ut

for a ride with the President. Both are

The presentation of an Ambassador at
any place other than the Executive Man
sion is an innovation. 1t is unusual for a
President to consent TO having such a for
NAL ceremony during his vacation. and
this action on the Presidents part is re-
garded as an indication that the President
holds Baron Won Sternburg i'll high regard.
More trouble on the old mans mind, 1t
has been the chief labor of the Indian De
partment for the last quarter of a century
TO get rid of the heathensh dances of the
reservation Indians. Some of these have
been of Il very cruel nature. and had been
pretty we'll stamped out. but here come
charges against James Mooney of the Blu
reau of EthnolOgy, in which it is stated
that he melted the Indians to do the Sun
Dance" one of the most barbarous of all
the Indian dances. and paid the young
bucks for undergoing the pangs of flesh
gashing and all that sort of thing. so that
he might study the effect. 1t is a re-
markable story, and is substantially and
enthusiastically told by Indian agents, and
other employees of the Indian Office who
are on the ground and saw the thing done.
1t seems incredible, and it is TO be hoped
that when investigated it will turn out to
be a fake.
