Situation

ST. PETERSBURG: The con-
tinued delay in the receipt here Of
anything like a detailed Official ac-
count either of the battle OF Lao
Yang or OF the present situation at
the front is proving more irritating to
the public at ST. Petersburg tnan any
previous phase Of the war, and has
given rise to numeyous alarmist
stories of the alleged precarious situ-
alton OF General Kuropatkins army.
None OF these stories, however, Is
traceable to any authentic source.
The fact seems to be that military
operations In the neighborhood Of
Mukden are suspended on account Of
the effect of the rains upon the roads.

SCHOOLS FILLED
INDIAN TERRITORY CONFRONTED
WITH SOME PERPLExITIEs
INSTITUTIONS TOO FEW FOR SCHOLARS

The 100000 Appropriated by Con.

the Needs-Schoois In Some Parts
Are 0verrun
MUSKOGEE: The superintendent
OF schools in Indian Territory, J. D.
Benedict, and the various school su.
perintendents are confronted with a
serious problem upon the opening Of
the day schools Of the tribal govern
merts to white children free of tut.
ton through the distribution of the
100000 appropriated by congress.
In some districts more pupils are at
tending the schools tsan the teachers
can look after. AS a result the In.
structors are clamoring for assistants.
but these cannot be granted, as the ap.
preparation is not large enough to GOV.
er the added expense.
One teacher upon arriving at the
little frame building which had been
converted into a schools house, found
that lis children all hungry for know
ledge, were jammed into the little
room eagerly waiting for her to ar
range her classes and hear the lessons.
She felt very much like the old wo-
man who lived in her shoe and sent
In an appeal for an assistant or for
reduction of the number Of her pupils.
There is no way. however, by which
any of the children living in the vicin.
ity of q school house can be kept from
school, al one has as good a right as
the other and hence the only thing for
the teacher to do is to govern her
large family as best she can and teach
as well as possible. A few teachers
upon meeting these discouraging con.
ditiOns have resigned.
Another teacher upon reaching the
scene Of her labors found that she
could not secure board and room near.
er than .thrae miles from her school
house. She became discouraged and
resigned.
Some amusing incidents have arisen
in connection with the enforcement Of
the segregation of the negro pupils
from the whites and Indians. The
supervisor Of schools in the Creek
nation yesterday received complaint
from a teacher in school for white
and Indian children that several negro
pupils had intruded and insisted on
going to school there. She asked the
supervisor to compel them to stay
away. The same day the supervisor
received another complaint from a
negro teacher stating that white chill
dren had intruded in the negro school.
This teacher requested that admis.
sion be denied the white children. No
complaints, however. come from whites
or Indians about the association Of
those two races in the schools.
