Indian Inspector Wright in max
ing his recommendations for new leg
i5latiOn for Indian Territory, says
that the matter OF most importance
generally in the Indian Territory at
the present time, and causing the
most comment and uniavorable crit
cism. is the selling and leasing Of In
dian lands. He recommends a pro.
vision for approval Of leases by the
department.
Secretary Hitchcock has found The
present method OF selling Greek lands
by sealed bid so satisfactory that he
has requested congress to enact laws
authorizing similar procedure in the
other nations.
Existing law provides that The re.
strictions as to alienation OF lands by
citizens OF Indian blood may be r..
moved by the secretary OF the inter.
ior. and are removed as to adult citi.
zens who are not Of Indian blood. 1t
is suggested that this law be amend.
ed or construed to remove the re
strictions from adult citizens who are
not Of Indian blood as shown by the
Official citizenship rolls.
The interior department has held
IN the opinion OF the assistant attor.
ney general dated May 6, 1904. that
the matters Of alienation and OF leas
ing are treated in the various legisla.
tion "a entirely separate and distinct
and therefore, the provisions govern.
ing leasing OF allotted lands are not
affected BY the clase OF the Indian
act removing restric.
tions from alienation; and it is the
view Of the Interior department that
leases which are reiqured to be ap.
proved by the various laws and agree
ments are yet ineffective without such
approval Of the Secretary OF the In
terror.

st. Petersburg, May 24.-The follow

to the Emperor, dated, May %, was
received to-day:
Our cavalry outpost on May %, and
May %, observed a movement of a
portion of the Japanese forces west
ward along the Hai-Cheng road near
the village of Daliandiaputza, six
miles from Feng Wang Cheng.
"On May %, a Japanese detachment,
consisting of six companies of infan-
try and three squadrons of cavalry,
attacked some sotnias of Cossacks on
the heights on the right bank of the
Zedsi river near the village of Poou-
teikha. When the engagement be-
gan the Japanese cavalry remained
under cover, and the infantry which
declined to cross the valley, maintain
ed a distant and almost harmless
fire, without sparing ammunition.
The cavalry unsupported tried to cross
the river for the purpose of turning
our left flank, but was driven back
by the charge Of half a sotnia of
Cossacks and the fire of the sotnia oc-
cupying the heights. Towards even
ing the Japanese retired. Our losses
were ten Cossacks wounded.

PRINCE FUSHIMI.

Among the striking parallels between
the sinking of the Russian battleship
Petropavlosk and that of the Japanese
battleship Hatsuse is the fact that a
prince of the imperial family of each
country respectively was on board the
vessel that went down and was at the
time actively engaged in his duties as
a naval officer.
The fortunate but narrow escape of
the Grand Duke Cyril, cousin of the
Emperor Nicholas, who was standing
on the bridge, close to the gallant
Makaroff, when the explosion beneath
the Petrovlovsk occurred, has become
well known in all it's details. 1t has
not yet been announced what was the
fate of Japanese imperial prince,
who, it may be presumed, was on the
Hatsuse when she struck a mine and
sank in almost as terrible a manner
as her Russian counterpart. This was
Prince Fushimi, lieutenant command
er on the Hatsuse. There is no re-
port whether he escaped or not, or
even that he was on board when the
disaster occurred, but he was regularly
connected with the ship.

been paid out in benefits, averaging at
the present time 100000 monthly to

than at any time in it's history.
According to the statement of sew
eral of the brotherhood leaders, Grand

THE government is satisfied with
the authenticity of the reported protest

The government has decided to fully

violent debate is expected, and the
government is preparing itself for
more radical action than that hereto
fore taken, since it is anticipated that
an effort will be made to abolish the
French embassy to the Holy See.
Foreign Minister Delcasse will pre-
sent the diplomatic negotiations with
the Vatican, and Premier Combes will
set forth the attitude and intentions of
the government. The officials express
the belief that the embassy will not be
suppressed. but they say the present
feeling may lead to that result when

embassy comes before the chamber

twelve days ago. Detectives have been

BAER WAS A WITNESS
Before the Interstate Commerce
Commission Hearing.

Commission Hearing.
New York, May 24.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day renewed
its inquiry into the anthracite coal
trade based on the complaint of w. r.
Hearst against the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company and other
coal carriers. The first witness called
was President Baer, president of the
Philadelphia and Reading.
On April 4 the Supreme Court of the
United States decided that Hearst's at
right to demand answers to his ques-
tions relating to the contracts between
the railroads and operators, by which
contracts, it is alleged, the coal trust
will be established as a fact and will
be proved to exist in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. Baer was asked to produce those
contracts. which he did.
Mr.. Baer was questioned by Hearst 8
attorney as to Reading profits.
"On a 4 per cent. basis the Reading
ought to make $7,O00,OOO a year." said
Mr.. Baer, land until it does reach
that figure 1 will not agree that the
price Of coal is too high"
The allegation that the carriers pur-
posely tied up coal traffic in winter or
failed to furnish cars to collieries has
no foundation in fact, said Mr.. Baer.
There was freight congestion last win
ter to a degree not known in many
years; and it was due to physical con-
ditions. He continued:
"The Lord, though it may shock
you, Mr.. Shearn, was responsible for
that. 1t was one of the things over
which we had no control"
