ANNUAL REPORT PRESENTED


Washington, Dec. 25.-The annual re-
port of the Dawes commission on its
work for the five civilized tribes of IN
dams in Indian Territory, which was
made public today. is a, general re-
view of the partition and allotment Of

commissioners say, has been a most

candid observers the execution Of the
task has seemed TO be both tedious and
expensive"
While admitting that criticism was TO
De expected, the report goes on TO say

up. OF this number and IN this way
more than 10000 have been examined
since June IS, 1898. The proceedings
were ali taken down, especially as
every case could be carried to Wash

Of people, approximately $4,000 viii be
finally adjudged to lawfully possess tri-
bal membership and property rights;
and it can readily be seen how a less
careful course Of procedure would have
utterly dissipated the properties of the
tribes.
Appraisement of Land.
AS to appraisement of land. it was
thought that 40 acres, or a quarter
OF a quarter section was d small divI-
sion as could have reasonably been
made. This acreage was adopted as the
unit in determining the grade and value

or the sectional location of a single one
of his improvements, and hence there
was no source of accurate information
respecting these matters except the
surveys and location of Improvements
made by the commission"
Distress of the People.
The report adds:
we have been daily witnesses of
the distress of the people caused by
delay, not only of the approximately
80 600 citizens of the tribes, but also
Of the estimated 100000 residents of the
territory. whose legitimate interests
suffer from an unsettled state of af-
fairs. There will have been seven
years consumed in this work if it is
completed, as we expect by July /. 1905,
and the administration of these COM
munal estates, amounting to nearly 90
100000 acres of land, and to perhaps
hundreds of millions of dollars in ac-
tual values viii then have consumed
that amount of time and have cost less
than 10 cents per acre. We trust that a
consideration of the facts here stated
viii lead to the conclusion that under
the circumstances the time consumed
mas not been unreasonable or the cost
unduly great
Methods of Spectators.
Speaking of the difficulties connected
with the allotment work the commits
sioners say that spectators not over
scrupulOus i'm their business methods,
have attempted in every way 10 in
fluence the work with a view to per-
sOnal gain.
One of the methods of the spectators
is outlined as follows:
"A favorite scheme has been to in
duCe full-blOOd Indians TO take on the
allotment widely separated tracts of
ten or more acres each, in order that
they might not be in position to take
possession of and improve their allot-
ments. This matter was invited to the
attention of the department in the
month of August. 1903. and the commits
sion has used every possible means
to prevent allotments of this charac-
ter. Under the law, however, certain
privileges are guaranteed to citizens in
the selection of their aHotments, max
ing it difficult for the commission to
fully protect their interests"

Boom Is Launched for
Folk of Missouri for the
Presidency.
His Candidacy Becomes En-
tangled With the Illi-
nOis Contest.

CHICAGO, July 1.-Word was re-
ceived from the East to-day which
launched in Illinois the boom of Joseph
W. Folk of Missouri for the Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination. Dur
ing the last few days representatives
of prominent Eastern party interests
have been in conference with the lead
ers of both of the Illinois factions with
a view of sounding them on the can
didacy of the st. Louis attorney.
This was followed up to-day with
the announcement that Senator Cor
man and others who have been unable
to hitch UP with either of the extreme
elements of the party will go to the
convention city next week prepared to
support Folk.
Indirectly Folks candidacy has be-
come entangled with the Illinois con-
test and it is understood that in the
event of the Harrison delegation win
ming out the Mayors influence will go
to Folk. An effort is being made to
arrange a similar compact with the
Hearst leaders, the difference being
that after their favOrite they are to
fall in line for the Missouri boom.

LEADERS MEET
AND PREPARE FOR BATTLE
Platform Is Receiving the
Serious Consideration of
the Delegates.
Effort to Be Made to Have
It Meet Views of All
Factions.

ST. LOUIS, July Longer In ad-
vance than usual the platform ques
ton is receiving the serious considera-
ton Of delegates and others interested
in the party's welfare and it is already
evident that there will be persistent
effort to secure an expression Of party
views which will meet the approval OF
all factions.
We must get a pronouncement
which will meet the demands Of all
Democrats" said Representative Clay
ton of Alabama, "and 1 believe 1t is
going to be a comparatively easy mat
ter TO accomplish that result"
Other party leaders on the ground
expressed themselves in like optimistic
manner But when they entered upon
a comparison of views it became evil
dent that there are differences which
will have to be smoothed down before
the desired result can be secured.
Evidently the principal contention
will be over the point as TO whether
there shall be specific declaration
favorable to affirmation of the prin-
ClPlcS GIuuCldlcu III tic PldLAOA u
1896 and 1900. There is to-day some
strenuous contention as TO whether
there shall be any reference whatever
to those two declarations, and there
are many shades of views as to how
the subject should be covered.
Delegates who are close to Bryan
want a reaffirmation in terms. but
some of them are content to say that,
while making the reassertion, they con-
slider other and newer questions OF
leading Importance and are willing on
that account to give more prominence
to them. Others take the position that
it would be invidious to mention the
Chicago and Kansas City utterances
and urge that it will be sufficient to
reaffirm the principles enunciated by
all previous Democratic conventions
and then pass to the consideration Of
newer questions. A third class would
have all references to recent party
declarations entirely omitted
Some express the opinion that the
preparation of the platform will be
left almost entirely to Senator German
and Representative Williams, the DEM
ocratic leaders in the two houses Of
Congress. 1t is generally believed that
the character of the platform will have
a marked influence upon the Presiden-
tial nomination, and as only majority
vote is required for Its adoption its
exact wording will be awaited with
much interest.

urging the adoption Of a financial
plank declaring for currency so ad-
justed as to meet all business require
ments.

BRYAN is CONFIDENT.

OMAHA, Nebr., July William
Jennings Bryan passed through Omaha
this morning on his way to fill two
engagements in Iowa before going to
ST. Louis.
He expressed great confidence in
Democratic success this fall.
Il look for a good candidate and a
good platform as the result of the con-
vention," he said. by a good plat
form L mean one that honestly and
without evasion states the Democratic
position on public questions BY a
good candidate 1 mean one who can
be enthusiastically supported by all
good Democrats. And by good Demo-
Gratis I mean those who have in the
last campaigns aided the Democratic
fight against plutocracy. Under these
conditions 1 consider there is an excel
lent chance to elect a Democratic
President The Republican platform
advocates higher tariff than ever be-
fore. Apart from this 1t does not pre-
sent a single issue clearly. 1 am hop
ing that our convention will so act
that Democratic courage can be con-
trasted with Republican cowardice."

National Committee Will

ST. LOUIS, July Former Senator
James K. Jones. chairman OF the DEM
ocratic National Committee, arrived in
the city to-day and took apartments
at the jefferson Hotel. He said that no
definite arrangements for the organiza-
ton OF the convention had yet been
made, and predicted that none would
be made until the meeting OF the full,
national committee, which VIII take
place next Monday. However, he advo-

and Patrick A Collins are mentioned
In that connection

Dthe convention viii hold a meeting to-

California Delegates to ST. Louis Will
Reach There To-Day.
BY AL NIcCABE.

KANSAS CITY, July 1.-The Califor-
mia delegates to the Democratic Nation
al Convention are still industriously
engaged in promoting the candidacy Of
their chosen candidate for President.
The members of the delegation never
lose an opportunity to give vent to
their now well-known convention yell
and are pinning Hearst buttons on all
unsuspecting citizens along the road.
At Colorado Springs, Pueblo and other
Colorado points considerable crowds
were assembled and shouts for Hearst,
California and Colorado were loud and
long. At Dodge City, Kans., an hour
passed so quickly that the delegates are
sore about it yet. In fact, they did not
know a thing about it until the porter
told them this morning to, set their
watches an hour ahead. This is the
second hour since the trip commenced
in which no opportunity was afforded
to shout for Hearst.
At Topeka, Kans., number Of the
unterrified had gathered and joined in
shouts for Hearst. Rather an amusing

Moody Takes KnOx's Chair
OATHS OF OFFICE TAKEN
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-At the Cabi-
net meeting to-day William H. Moody
moved UP to the chair formerly occu-
pied by Attorney General Knox, and
Paul Morton of Illinois took the seat
Moody has for the last two years occu-
pied as Secretary of the Navy.
To-day General (now Senator) Knox,
although no longer Cabinet Minister,
was in attendance. Former Repre-
sentative Victor H. Metcalf of Califor-
MIA did not arrive in time to attend the
Cabinet r.eeting. He took the oath of
office as Secretary of Commerce and
Labor at the White House at 4:30
o'clock. He succeeds George B. Cortel-
you in that position. The Cabinet
meeting was the last of the season.
President Roosevelt had a long talk
with his advisers on general topics, and
especially the political situation. He
leaves for Oyster Bay tomorrow morn
ing, to remain there until July %.
Moody took the oath of office as At
torney General at 9 o'clock. When E.
P. Hanna, solicitor of the Navy De-
partment, addressed the oath of office
to Morton at $3.50 o'clock General
Moody turned to his successor and
said: Il sincerely congratulate you,
Mr. Secretary, upon your advent into
this office. You will come into daily
contact with some of the finest sailors
in the world"
The outgoing of Moody was marked
by general regret on the part of the
department officials, who realize his
strength and the beneficial features of
the naval policy during his administra-
ton.
Secretary Morton knows absolutely
nothing of naval administration. Ex-
perience has shown that this absence
of knowledge is an aid rather than a
detriment to new Secretary. The bust
ness knowledge which most successful
Secretaries have brought to the Navy
Department is possessed by Morton in
a large degree. 1t has advanced him
to a prominent position in the railway
business and it is expected will make
his administration a highly successful
one.
