Yung-Lu's power was shown at the
time of the marriage Of his daughter,

Yung-Lu's power was shown at the
time of the marriage Of his daughter,
when even viceroys like Chang Chih-
tung and. Yuan Shih-Kai sent him
presents scarcely less costly than they
would have sent on the occasion Of
imperial birthdays or marriages. He
has shown his power recently in sew
eral ways. He is holding Ma Yu-Kun
as a substitute for the viceroyalty Of
Chihli in case Yuan proves rebellious,
and he has sent Chang Chih-tung as
acting viceroy Of Nankin, which was
a great humiliation Of this able man.
He has also snubbed Sheng Of
Shanghai by taking from him the
management Of the telegraphs and
permitting him to retire as treaty COM
missioner during his mourning. Sheng
made an application to retire purely as
form and never expected that he
would be relieved Of this important
office. Everywhere his hand is felt
and the ablest viceroys stand In fear
Of him as they recognize that he Is the
right hand of the empress.
Yung-Lu's latest scheme is to set up
new heir apparent and thus be rid
of the young emperor who, In the
short period Of his actual reign, show
ed such dangerous tendencies toward
reform. The plan is to secure a man
who will bend to the wishes Of the
empress and Of Yung-Lu. The person
chosen Is said to be Yung-Lu's prince
ly son-in-law. The selection Of such
one will not be difficult If Yung-Lu
continues to remove from power the
ablest men Of China.
From the young emperor himself
nothing can be expected, as he seems,
from all reports, to be perfectly satis-
fed with the idle and luxurious life of
the harem. His health Is much better,
but the old anger against the Empress
Dowager's domination is never shown.
In fact, he appears to have lost his
spirit and to have given up hope of
ruling the empire, as he once dreamed
of doing.
In this condition Of affairs foreign
ers are hoping that the diplomatic
body at Pekin will demand an imme-
diate investigation Of the gathering OF
an army In Kansu and Of the reports
of Boxer activity in Shensi and Szech-
uan. II this Is done, the hand Of the
Chinese government may be forced
and a repetition Of the folly and cru
city of the recent insurrection may be
avoided.

DEATH OF WHITE CALF.
Famous Blackfeet Warrior Saw the
President Just Before He Died.

Famous Blackfeet Warrior Saw the
President Just Before He Died.
The body of White Calf, chief Of the
Blackfeet tribe of Indians, who died
last Thursday night in the Providence
hospital, Washington, D. c., was
started from that city last night on its
western journey to be buried in the
land Of his fathers. A few days be-
fore he died he shook hands and had
an interview with President Roose-
welt.
George Bird Grinnell, editor of For
est and Stream, who is head chief Of
the Blackfeet tribe, was at the side Of
White Calf few hours before he died.
Speaking yesterday Of the life of
White Calf, Mr.. Grinnell said:
"At the time White Calf was born,
more than eighty years ago, the Black
feet tribe was the most feared and
powerful tribe Of Indians in the north
west. They numbered about 1900 peo-
pie and they claimed as their own par
ticular territory a stretch Of land
about 400 miles square, extending from
the Red Deers river on the north In
British America to the Yellowstone
river on the south.
white Calls reputation as q brave
warrior brought him into early prom
fnence, and when the treaty was made
in 1856 by Gov. I. I. Stevens, acting
for the United States, with the Black
feet, Piegans, Gros Ventres and other
tribes of Indians, this chief, then
known as the Feather, took prom
inent part in the debate and affixed
his signature to the compact. The eff
feet Of the treaty was to give white
people permission to travel through
the country without molestation.
I'm the ten years following, White
Calf led many detachments OF his
tribe in warfare against the Crows,
Sioux, Snakes and Flatheads. In 1867
occurred the biggest fight in which he
ever participated. In this battle he
and his followers killed over 400 Crows
and Gros Ventres. White Calf sig
nally distinguished himself by riding
into the very thick Of his enemies and
rescuing Wolf Calf from their hands
just as they were about to despatch
him. Many Horses, chief Of the
Blackfeet tribe, met his death in this
fight, and not long afterward White
Calf was chosen as his successor.
1.-The Blackfeet reservation now
comprises about 100000 acres Of land
in northwestern Montana just east Of
the Rocky mountains and northwest
from Fort Benton, the centre Of the
fur trade a number Of years ago.
The tribe now numbers only about
1000. It was in connection with mat
ters concerning the Blacheet reserva-
ton that White Calf came to Wash
ington in company with three or four
other chiefs Of the tribe.
President Roosevelt received the
old chief with great cordiality. White
Calf argued that If the white mems
cattle were let on the reservation, on
which they had long set coyetous eyes,
their gardens and pasture land which
were unprotected by fences, would be
devastated. In addition, he believed
that the cowboys in rounding up the
cattle of the white men would steal
many of the calves belonging to his
tribesmen.
"The agent with half dozen Indians
and half breeds argued the other way,
but the president decided in favor OF
White Calf."-New York Sun, Sunday.

THE DOG NUISANCE.
Wants to Abate II
and Gives the Reason Why.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
I am in favor Of reasonable dog
law. Last year raised four worthless
dogs. They cost me at least 81 head
a month, to say nothing Of the eggs
and chickens they destroyed.
On last Christmas eve one of these
dogs went mad and bit my little 3
year-old girl, after which he made
his escape. I killed the other three
dogs and took my little girl to Ruth
erford county, N. c., to apply the
maidstone. The maidstone stuck nine
hours and the little girl got well; but
in addition to the mental anxiety to
myself and family the experience cost
me $40 in money.
I have had enough Of worthless dogs
and I hope the people Of York county
and South Carolina will rise up In an
effort to rid the state Of this nuisance.
I would like to see all the worthless
dogs taxed out Of existence If 1t should
take IS a head to do It, and am In IA
vor Of applying the revenue to road
work and education. Respectfully,
D. H. COBB.
