IRON Trad. Reviews Resume Of the Week in
Ore Trades.

representatives. OF ore interests To at
tend the meeting which was announ-
ced for April /, the time has been
changed TO April Z, when II is expec-
ted the meeting will be held in New
York. The most serious difference OF
opinion between the two parties into
which the ore producers have divided
relates TO the amounts Of ore TO be
mined by the various interests. The
United States Steel Corporation, two
producing-cOnsuming interests and
one large producer, representing la all
about So per cent of the ore tonnage,
favor making the actual sales OF each
producer, before the ore Is shipped
from the mines, the amount he shall
bring down. They contend that this
arrangement would be fair and would
prevent the shipping OF large
amount OF unsold ore, as was done
last year. They argue that the pro-
posal OF those who do not favor this
plan would compel the steel corpora
tion so to restrict its production that
il would have to buy from 100000
10 3,000,0 900 tons OF ore from other
companies. This the corporation,
with its large ore reyerses, does not
feel warranted in doing.
The position OF the merchant ore
men, which has already been explain
ed in this column, is that any agree
ment on price, without stringent re-
gulation OF output, would not be
effective in year like the present, in
which the merchant demand may be
counted on TO go much below that OF
recent years. Furthermore these
firms emphasize the identity of their
interests in year like 1904 with the
merchant furnaces who, they CON
cede, must have low price, particu-
larly on nOn-Bessemer ores in view OF
the strong competition now evident
between the Northern and Southern
producers OF foundry iron
On the whole the outlook is still
favorable for an agreement this year,
and il is asserted that IL there is none
this year the prospects OF an associa-
tion in future years will be much
lessened by the results OF an open
market. 1t is understood that the
Steel Corporation considers its policy
Of refraining from making any sales Of
ore is Of direct benefit TO the mer-
chant ore interests, as are its pur-
chases OF pig iron from merchant fur
mace firms, which in turn buy the
ore for this iron TO a considera bic ex
tent from the merchant ore compan-
les. 1t has been intimated that In
case no agreement on ore prices is
made this year the corporations
policy may be modified TO the extent
Of combining its pig iron purchases to
furnace companies which will buy
ores for this iron from the corpora
ton, making such transactions really
ore and coke conversion deals.
There is emo selling Of ores apart
from some resales from the docks, and
il is the understanding that the
status quo will be maintained until
after the April meeting.
Conferences between the dock mana
gers and representatives Of the long
shoremen are in progress, the former
favoring reduction in wages and the
latter contending for last years scale.
1t is not expected that an agreement
will be reached for sevesal days.

Kansas Farmer Saw a Fair Widow
and Chose Her at Once.

When a Kansan needs anything real
bad he comes TO Indian Territory.
Abner Farley, Jovial farmer Of
p perity, Kans., started on journey
laa week 10 tour the Territory look
ing for an investment In farming

day and met Mrs Matte Hatfield, a
buxom widow OF 40 summers. Abner
has been through SO winters and knows

He wooed Matte with the same ar

marriage Thursday morning, was ac-
cepted and came TO Vinita on the

LOBBYISTS WANT
DELAWARE MONEY
Determined Effort to Secure
Part Of $3.50. 900.

A Washington special says that re-
ports have reached the Interior depart
ment that q group Of lawyers and lob
byists have made plans to get posses.
sion Of large part Of the appropria-
tion Of sl50,000 which soon viii be paid
the Delaware Indians, under a bill
passed al the recent session OF con.
gress. The department officials will
do their utmost 70 protect the Indians,
but they may not be successful because
Of the provisions OF the biz.
For several years the Delawares have
pressed before congress claims aggre-
eating million dollars, with which
they have made little progress until
the last session, when Senator Quay Of
Pennsylvania became their champion
in the senate aud urged that their
claims be considered. Owing to per-
sistent efforts by the Pennsylvania
senator they we're finally taken up by
the senate committee on Indian affairs,
and, as a result, the bill awarding
them the amount given was passed,
the understanding being that the tribe
would accept IL In settlement Of the
claims.
The bill directed that the money
was 10 be paid the Indians in such a
manner as they should decide upon IN
council. When congress had taken ac-
tion Mr.. Quay discussed the disposl-
tion Of the appropriation with Presl-
dent Roosevelt and officials Of the In
terror department and urged that the
members Of the tribe should receive
the total amount, and that none Of II
be paid to lobbyists, who had made a
pretense Of advancing the bill when II
was pending before the senate.
At council held July 16 the tribe
agreed that claims Of Walter S. Logan
an attorney Of New York, who repre-
sented them in litigation before th'
supreme court, aggregating ss, ,0O0, ,ans
similar claims Of ex-senator James X
Jones OF Arkansas, aggregating q, 500
should be paid out the appropriation
but they refused to allow other claims

NOW WELL EDUCATED
From a Poorly Clad, Bare
Footed Urchin a Girl De-
veloped Into a Refined
Young Woman
and Is Rich.

Stories OF the alleged ill-treatment
OF full-blood Indians have been told 50
frequently that the good fortune OF
Aky Neteeski, as presented In legal
documents on file In the clerks office,
comes as a relief.
The girl was born In the Saline dis
trict in the spring Of 1883. Asshe ran
about barefooted and illy-clad during
the winter OF 1889 her bright eyes and
scanty attire attracted the attention
OF Mr.. and Mrs. II. ID. Lannon, OF
Bartlesyille, who we're passing through
near the place Aky called home. They
soon arranged with the parents and
took the child into their care. She
was fittingly clothed and, after much
trouble, was taught to wear shoes.
The child grew rapidly and was treat
ed on terms Of equality with other
children OF the household. She was
given school advantages until now she
has developed into refined, educated
girl Of 10 years.
Mr. Lannon was appointed legal
guardian OF the girl few years age
and he selected an allotment for hei
and attended TO her filing, etc. From
rentals the girls estate consisted OF
s265. 10 In Dec. 1902 This money was
placed in a bank and Mr.. Lannon, In
his report TO the court, charges him
self with per cent. interest. Nc
charge has ever been rendered fol
clothing or support, school books oI
ANYTHING else.
The guardian has used l60 acres ol
land held by the girl before the allot
ment, as pasturage and charged him
self with rental OF one dollar pei
acre. At the age Of fourteen yean
Aky did not occupy or own any lands
but being a citizen by blood her guar
dian furnished her with improved
lands upon which 20 tile a claim.
Now Mr.. Lennon asks the right 4
lease for his ward the oil privileges o
her allotted lands 10 the Renfrow OF
aud Gas company, having secured al
advantageous proposal.
The land adjoining that held by TIN
girl belongs to Mr.. Lannon and he hai
four wells from which $4,000 wortl
Of oil has been taken, which has net
ted fortune after paying expenses.
The girl now has s4si 10 her credit
IN cash, and will receive q tidy bonui
from those who seek the lease.
The matter will be determined b.
Judge Lawrence.

INvESTIGATINS
DICK ADAMS
Special inspector Examining
Dealing With DeIawares.

Dick Adams work with the Della
wares Is being investigated, James o.
Fallen, special Indian inspector, Is
at Dewey examining the charges made
against him In connection with the
Delaware land leases
Adams, with his attorney, George
A. Murphy, has gone TO Dewey, and IL
is probable that the investigation viii
be disposed Of speedily.
The charges against Adams are that
he secured leases and promisory notes
from The individual Delawares In
compensation for his influence at
Washington during the time the Del
aware claims we're up for consldera-
tion. The notes, IL Is alleged, were
generally for s75, to become due after
oil or gas had been developed upon
the leased lands.
The Delawares, at least some OF
them, claim that Adams transferred
the notes as negotiable paper, and that
they have been compelled to pay
them before due.
Adams says there Is nothing at al
In the charges; that every note he re
ceiyed was Ia lieu Of money loaned Il
the Indians. His attorneys also claim
the charges are false, and say thel
have nothing to fear for their client
from the investigation.
