MANY IRREGULARITIES.
Investigation of Indian Affairs in the
SouthMest.

Kansas City. ept. 2S.-Char.es j.
Happier. chief clerk of the United
States senate committee on Indian af-
fairs. has just completed a weeks trip
Through Indian Territory with Senator
Stewart chairman. of the committee.
Mr.. Happier a hat the trip had
opened their eyes to many irregulari-
ties in the affairs of the Indians hat
they would never nave known of with
out personal investigation.
We found that the Dawes commits
sion had done good work." he said.
The Indians in the Creek nation,
though. are selling their lands for a
mi and spending their money rapidly.
They will be paupers in five years.
The Indians in the Chickasaw nation
are leasing their lands at a ridiculously
low figure. There are only 1000, 900
acres in the nation. and we found one
white man in control Of 10000 acres.
He boasted Of the fact that it had
taken him nine months to get the land.
and that it would take congress nine
years to get it away from him. The
district court. however, has ruled that
these lands must be leased for a rea-
sonable consideration, and this may
enable us to set the lands back into
the hands Of the Indians again"

JAPANESE ACTIVE.
Large Forces Moving Along the Liza,
River Northward.

River NorthWard.
st. Petersburg. Sept. 29.-The war
commission adjourned without issuing
further news from the front.
The Mukden telegram to the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger, reporting thai the jan
nnese had crossed the Hun river fifty
miles above the city, Is believed to refer
TO scouting parties OF Japanese, whose
presence there was recorded In the AS
sociated Press dispatches of Septem-
Der 26.
The movement of Japanese forces ON
the Lao river. which was reported in a
dispatch from General Sakharoff to the
general staff on September &c, is all
the more significant since Sianchan is
the starting point OF roads leading to
Tie Pass, Mukden and Sinn1intin.
The announcement that the Rus
slams are fortifying Fakowan. twenty
hVe miles northeast of Mukden, shows
that General Kuropatkin is preparing
to check the thanking movement on Tie
Pass from the west in case Sinmintin
shall nave to be abandoned.
The entire absence of news from
Fort Arthur is feared to indicate a
closer blockade there. Hitherto dis
patches from General Stoessel have
been coming through semi-weekly.
n admiralty has not received any
details or The reported sea fight of
Aniva, at the southeastern extremity of

Bad confIagration-Town Has
No Protection.

Menlo, Ia, Sept. 27.-Fire of unknown
origin wiped out half the business
houses of Menlo Saturday morn
ing. The town has no fire department,
and the citizens were powerless to
check the flames in their path Of de-
struction. The fire was first discovered
in the Fitzgibbon hardware store,
which was destroyed completely. The
Brown hotel, managed by Henry
Brown. vas burned to the ground. The
building was owned by a Mr.. Barry Of
an eastern city.
George c. Buckley's hardware and
implement house. one of the largest in
the town, was next In the pat of the
fire. The destruction here vas complete
also. About 600 bushels of clover and
timothy seed. In addition to a large
stock of implements and hardware. was;
ruined.
j. w. Browns livery barn and a va
cant store room owned by Mr.. Brown
were also burned. The horses got out
without injury. 1t is impossible to
estimate the loss accurately. 1t will
aggregate 100000, which is only part
ly covered by insurance.
Menlo is a town of about 500 pop
ulation on the Rock Island railroad In
Guthrie county, about fifty miles west
of Des Moines.

RUN TRAINS BY PHONE
Burlington Railroad Is Ready to Sub
stitute Hello Machine for the
Telegraph instrument.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-As rapidly as the
change can be brought about the man.
aGement of the Burlington has decided
to substitute the telephone for the tel
egraph in dispatching and operating
both passenger and freight trains. This
announcement was made yesterday aft
er comprehensive trials of the tele-
phone had been made on various por-
tions of the company's lines for sew
eral years.
The management stated that these
trials had proven eminently satisfac-
tory and that under the system in
vogue there had not been recorded a.
single instance of mistake in the trans
mission and receipt of train orders. In
the opinion of Burlington officials this
nov the main objection hitherto
made to the use of the telephone for
train operation. the objection of la
bility to mistake in transmission of or
ders.
Tests Along Lines.
The main tests have been made on
the engine division between Savanna
where freight traffic is exceedingly
heavy, passenger traffic light and
where the telephone has been used eX-
clusively for about two years. For a
like period the telephone has been in
exclusive use between Chicago and
Aurora, q distance of thirty miles,
where both passenger and freight traf-
fic is very dense.
Between Hannibal and ST. Louis, a
distance of about 120 miles, where both
freight and passenger rattle is heavy,
the telephone has been used for some
time as an auxiliary to the telegraph
wires. the former being used in he
operation of the block system and the
latter in dispatching the trains.
In Exclusive Use.
On the line between Alliance and
Billings, a distance of Al miles, the
telephone has been in exclusive use for
about three years. Between Chicago
and Burlington all he connections
have been made which are necessary to
an exclusive use of the telephone,
whilst west OF there division head
quarters have been connected up with
Burlington.
The advantages of the telephone as
stated by the management are hat it
greatly enlarges the choice of men for
the operating service. Thousands of
good men cal talk intelligently over
the phone, where comparatively few
can use the Morse code; 1t lessons the
possibility Of a strike and in the event
of a strike makes 1t much easier to
I'LL the positions. Complete records of
all orders, are. of course, kept. From
the amount of telephone Installations
being made on railway systems there
is little doubt that the example of the
Burlington will in tine be followed by
all lines.

PoPE FEELS RESULTED
'ained by the Meeting OF the Free
Thinkers Recently Held in the
City of Rome.

Rome. Sept. 2S.-The pope, in a letter
to Cardinal Respighi, the vicar general
of the pontiff. said in part:
"A new aus of bitterness has been
added to many anXieties which espe-
cially in our times accompany the gov
of the Universal church. We
have learned with infinite sorrow that
1t is asserted that the c%ultivators of
free thought have met in Rome. while
the painful echo of their speeches is I'M
fortunately confirmed by their grim de-
signs. Intelligence is the noblest gift
the creator has granted us, but it be-
comes s%acrilegious when subtracted
from dependency on the almighty, or
rejects the direction and comfort of
divine truth"
The pope says the insult was rem
dered the more grave by the free think
ers' meeting i'll Rome, the city which
had been destined as a depository of
the faith, thus taking from Rome its
designation as the tranquil. respected
see of Christ's vicar.

ments and orders from Niceroy AleXieff
cashiering officers for abandoning posi-
tons n for drunkenness. etc, and
censuring officers for lawless treat
ment of Chinese, waste of ammunition
and other offences, prove an amazing
lack of discipline in General Kuropat-
kin's army"

CASE TO BE INVESTIGATED

Pittsfield. Mass, Sept. 2S.-Hugh

embassy, was fined $50 in police court
at Lee for contempt of court and for
speeding his automobile in Stockbridge
Sunday.
action of a special justice at Lee,
Mass, in filming Hugh Quincy. the third
secretary of the British embassy, was
received at the state department in a
telegram from Mr.. Raikes, first secre-
tary of the embassy, Who is at LenoX.
The department Immediately transmit
ted this telegram in substance to the
governor of Massachusetts that he
might do whatever might be necessary
to securo the diplomatic immunity of
Mr.. Quincy.
1t is believed at the department that
the matter may be far more serious
than the local officers at Lee seem to
regard it. In the first place. by con-
stitutional and statutory law. the per-
pressly relieved from any legal re-
sponsibility. and the exemption even
extends to domestic servants. Section
4063, revised statutes, declares that any

United States or of a state or by n
Judge or justice intended to cause the
arrest and Imprisonment of any public

The succeeding section, 4064. Of the re-
vised statutes, provides that every per-
son by whom any such arrest Is OBJ
tanned or prosecuted. whether as party
or attorney, and every officer con-
cerned in its execution, Shall be
deemed a violator of the law of ma
tions and a disturber of the public re-
pose, and shall be imprisoned for not
more than three years and fined at the
discretion of the court"
1t will remain for the governor of
Massachusetts to take initial action in
this case, which will require prompt re-
dress.
The last similar incident occurred in
1882 at the picnic resort of Bay Ridge.
near Baltimore, when DR.. George, an
attache of the Swiss legation in Wash
ington. was arrested by n deputy sher-
lift on n charge of being a pickpocket
and was searched and otherwise treat
ed in a humiliating manner by the local
authorities. The state department Sc
cured his release at an early moment
through the governor of Maryland, who
also caused the dismissal of the Offend
ing deputy and extended an apology
for the incident. Though the Swiss min
lister might have pressed further pun
ishnlent he accepted what had been
done as sufficient. but the matter was
deemed of such Importance that he
could not give this notice to our gov
until the Swiss federal coun-
ell had formally examined the case and
expressed itself satisfied.
Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, the
British ambassador, has received' a
telegram telling of the arrest of Cur
ney and stating that the matter had
been referred to the state department.
The ambassador ool no action in the
matter, nor does he expect that it will
be necessary for him to 10 so. He ex-
pressed confidence that the state de-
partment will take whatever action is
proper.

Unless Mukden is abandoned at Ono,

developments in The situation at the
front is the definite establishment of
the fact that Oyama has now begun
to move up his left. Kuropatkin's re-
port today shows the Japanese nave
reached Davan, on the west bank of
the Lao river. A considerable con-
centration of Japanese Is observed at
Sian Chan. on the Hun river. thirty
five miles southwest of Mukden. The
Japanese cavalry is massing In the
valley of the Pu river. The latter is a
tributary of the Hun river. which
crosses the line of the railway midway
between Tie pass and Mukden. and
may furnish a natural line of advance
from the west.
