pies enunciated in our platform will

TO PROTECT INDIAN WARDS
One of the Most Drastic Orders Ever
Issued For the Protection OF
Indian Wards.

Washington, Sept. 20.-One of the
most drastic orders ever issued by the
government for the protection Of the
several Indian tribes against fraud and
robbery has been promulgated by Act
ing Secretary of the Interior Ryan. The
order in question amends the rules for
the sale of inherited Indian lands, so
as to require that the proceeds to be
derived from their sale shall be placed
with the most convenient United States
depository to the credit of each heir
in proper proportion, subject to the
check of such heirs or their recognized
guardians for amounts not exceeding
ten dollars to each in any n month.
Before being paid, however, it will be
necessary for these checks to be ap-
proved by the agent or other officer in
charge. For sums in excess OF ten
dollars per month the money will be
paid upon the approval o. the agent
only when specifically authorized so
to do by the commissioner Of Indian
affairs.
Acting Secretary Ryan said that
heretofore the lands have been sold to
the highest bidder and the proceeds
paid directly to the Indians, with the
result that in many instances the In
dams were soon Invested Of their
money.

The British Treaty With Thibet Is
Commented Upon With Much
Bitterness.
BRITAIN EXCEEDED Her PROMISES
IN ASSUMING A PROTECTORAlE.
fear Expressed That the British
Nav Follow Russia's Example fn
Manchuria by her
Occupation of the Chumbi valley
Beyond Stipulated Time.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 20.-With the
arrival here of the full text or the
British treaty with Thibet. the irrita-
ton of the Russian press at its sweep
ing character is more pronounced. The
Russ, which is now considered to espe-
cially reflect the views OF the foreign
office, bitterly complains that Great
Britain has gone beyond her promises
concerning the expedition, by acqulr-
ing a virtual protectorate e TnlDet,
whereas she had pledged herself mere
ly to regulate trade relations between
India and Thibet. Instead, the paper
declares, Great Britain has imposed
upon Thibet onerous terms, which give
her a monopoly, f~Orbidding Th1bet,
without Great Britain'S consent, 10
enter into relations with the outside
world. The Russ foresees that the oc-
cupation of the Chumbi valley by the
British will be prolonged even after
the payment of the indemnity, and ex-
presses surprise at China playing into
the hands of Great Britain in deposing
the dalai llama and appointing in his
place a protege of Great Britain. In
conclusion the Russ says significantly:
THE proclamation of the British
pr~otectorate must be regarded as an
accomplished fact, but whether it will
be real and lasting must depend upon
future events in Central Asia"
RussO-German Understandings.
The sensational articles in the Brit
ish press about the alleged Russo
German secret understanding regard
ing the far east have attracted much
attention here. While a feeling eX-
lists that Germany is displaying q
friendly spirit, it is denied in response
BILE quarters that she has overstepped
the bounds of neutrality in any par
ticular. The existence of a secret
treaty between Russia and Germany
are attributed here to the memory OF
the part which Germany, with France
and Russia, played in compelling Japan
to abandon the Shimonoseki treaty
| concluded between Japan and China as
| a result of the war between those two
| countries ten a ago.
NOvOe Vremya
The Novoe Vremya, in a sarcastic
editorial, expresses surprise at the fact
that the British newspaper correspon-
dents have been so slow in discovering
that Germany is helping Russia, add
ing: Both Great Britain and the
United States ought to follow the ex-
ample of Germany, which realized at
the outset the identity of her inter
ests in the far east with those of Rus
STA"
Defense of German Shippers.
The Novosti undertakes the defense
of the German shippers, who are sup
plying British coal to Russian war
ships, without which the Russian Bal
tic fleet could not go to the far east,
pointing out that the rules of neutral
ity are applicable to states and not to
individuals, adding:
eve are entitled to expect that in
dividuals will be left free to act as
orr prrveyors."

May Close Schools.

The failure of the Chicago bond
syndicate to pay for the half million
dollar bond issue is beginning to
cause much uneasiness in educa-
tional circles. Unless the semi-an-
.nual distribution of the school fund
is made within the next few days
some of the country schools will find
it almost impossible to open, as
many of them now have depleted
treasures. If the bonds T not
taken it will be a heavy blow to the
educational interests of the State.

The Banner Dog County.

Perhaps the most interesting as
sessment rolls in Mississippi are
those of Madison county, the banner
county for dogs. 1t is understood
that every canine in the county dur
ing the past year has been assessed,
and makes a total of 4,033. The as
sessment is all the more interesting
when it is remembered that the total
number of polls assessed amounted
to 4,23S, only 205 more than the
number of dogs.

Damage TO Crops.

in. Worms and rust, according to
these reports, are causing widespread
destruction, and the crop is deterior-
ating daily. The damage is more
general than indicated in the gov
eminent reports and many planters
will not harvest over so per cent of
their usual crop.

Few "Guns" in Claiborne County.

From a glance at the assessment
rolls in Claiborne county, that the
people there do not place much de-
pendence in the little weapon gen
orally to be found in the hip-pocket
is shown. There are only four dozen
pistols in the county, or, rather,
that is the number shown on the as
SCISSORS account. There have been
exactly three dozen persons brought
up before the court on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons within
the past four years, from which it is
natural to suppose that every pistol
in the county, with the exception of
twelve, has been before the courts
unless, perhaps, the assessor was
greatly fooled.

to the lot and Jail, cost over $780,

An Exhibition Load of Wheat.

Lon Bonds, a planter living near
West Point, attracted a great deal of
interest in that place the other day
by placing Oh exhibition a wagon
load of fine wheat all ready for the
mill. 1t is a well known fact that
wheat used to be raised on no small
scale in Mississippi, but tits of un-
usual occurrence at present. Mr..
Bonds tried to get the farmers in
Clay county to cultivate this article
this year, but succeeded in getting
only two to make the venture and
they raised only a few bushels each.
Many of the farmers are now la
menting the fact that they did not
listen to Mr.. Bonds, whose success
is sufficient proof to them that their
land is suitable for the cultivation
Of this product. 1t is expected that
a large number will experiment next
year, and if they come out all right
there is no doubt that a flour mill
for Clay county will be the result.
