DAWES COMMISSION
IN YEARLY REPORT
Declares it Has Found That Only co..
600 Indians Are Entitled to
Property Rights.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The annual
report of the Dawes commission on
its work in the partition of lands
among members of the five civilized
tribes has been made public. 1t says:
Every adult or head of a family
in a total of more than 100000 citi-
zens and claimants was examined per-
Sonally. OF this number ap-
proximately 10000 finally will be ad-
judged to possess lawfully tribal men,
bership and property rights. We have
been daily witnesses of the distress of
the people, not only of the approx
mately 10000 tribesmen, but of the
coo, 900 other residents of the territory
whose legitimate interests suffer from
an unsettled state of affairs"
The report declares that unscrupu-
lous spectators have attempted to in
fiuence the work with view to per-
sonal gain, and expresses the hope
that the work of investigation will be
completed by July /, 1905.

CALIFORNIA ARROW" MAKES
ASCENT At LOS ANGELES
Trip of BaIdwin's Airship Successful,
Except for Failure to Land at
Starting Point.

Los Angeles, Calf, Dec. 26.-Capt.
Baldwin's airship, California Arrow.
driven by Roy Knabeshue, who made
several successful flights in the same
machine from the worlds fair grounds
at ST. Louis, was given its first trial
in California yesterday. The trip was
successful with the single exception of
the ships failure to land at the starting
point.
A landing was effected half mile
away without damage TO the machine,
and it was safely towed back to its
anchorage.
The Arrow started from a baseball
park in the southwest part of the city
at 3:17 p. m, sailed with the wind
northeastward for distance of ten
miles, and eastward for two miles. 1t
returned in the face of a IL mile gale,
to a point directly above the starting
place, but, owing to the supply of gasO-
line running short, was unable to eff
feet a landing there.
From the time the airship arose I'M
til il was anchored an hour and thir-
teen minutes elapsed. and in that time
the ship had sailed distance of pro
badly twenty miles.

Contract with the Rock Island.
The railway mail service depart
ment of the government has executed
coup by securing railway contracts
which will save from TO IL hours
in the delivery of that portion OF the
transcontinental mail passing through
the St. Louis and Kansas City gate
ways.
The new contract is with the Rock
Island road. which thereby gains 4
mail carrying business. which it did
not formerly possess. The mail pass
ing through Kansas City for points
west costs the government fully $1,000
600 for delivery to- points between
there and the coast. What proportion
OF this the Rock Island will get is not
known. but il is said to be consid
cradle part of the traffic.
The contract is the result of sharp
struggle between the Rock Island and
the Santa Fe railroads. resulting in the
cutting OF time of transcontinental
passenger trains fully six hours. and
in the establishment of one new trans
continental train.
Avoids Delay In Malls.
Heretofore the mail coming from
the entire territory east OF St. Louis
and from the seaboard. and passing
through ST Louis. has been compelled
to- lie over at Kansas City. The daily
mail is delivered in Kansas City by
the Nil souri, Pacific at 1880 a. IN. in
train loads OF seven cars. and hitherto
that portion OF this mail destined for
southern Pacific coast points has laid
over about six hours. The evening de
livery from ST. Louis is by the Wa
bash. arriving at Kansas city at $50
D. m. and has laid over until morning.
about II hours.

Nogi's Operations at Port Arthur
Meet With Further
Success.

London, Dec. 26.-Operations were
completed Christmas morning by
which all the Russian advanced posi-
tons west of Port Arthur fell into the
hands of the Japanese.
Recent Japanese successes prepare
military observers here to expect still
more important news within few
days. This may not, perhaps, be the
announcement of final triumph, but it
is anticipated that il will at least in
dictate the complete isolation of Lao
tishan. where the Russians. il is under

desperate stand. Indeed, il is thought
that the possession of the points men
toned in the latest reports from the
Japanese legation may already give
them this advantage, as it seems to
enable Gen. Nogi to enfilade all troops
moving towards LiaOtishan.

didate.
AccuMuLATIvE VOTE SYSTEM
Must be Means Of Distinguishing
The Intent Of the
Voter.

Hon. George A Cooke, of Aledo,
minority representative from the Thir-
tyjhird senatorial district, is to ask a
recount of the votes cast for repre-
sentative at the November election, in
which, on the face of the results, he
was defeated by G.. w. McCaskrin, the
independent candidate.
Mr.. Cooke does so to test the legal
construction Of the system of accumu-
lative voting. II is his position that the
voter must distinguish in some man.
ner how many votes he intends each
candidate to have, maintaining that in
the recent election, in the absence of
the phrase. three votes. appearing af
ter his name, G. w. McCaskrin was not
entitled to more than one vote from
any one balloting for him, unless the
voter specified his intentions by writ
ing the number of votes in on the bal
lot.
Intent of the Law.
Mr.. Cookies contention is where a
republican voted his straight party
ticket, with a cross in the square op-
posite McCaskrin's name, it means a
vote each for the two republican nomi-
nees and McCaskrin: that where the
democrat voted his straight party tick
ct with a cross in the square opposite
McCaskrin's name there should be one
vote and one-half for each.
A recount by the legislature is asked
on the ground that there were votes
credited to McCaskrin that he was not
entitled to and which the voter did not
intend that he should receive.
Il have no desire to deprive Mr.. Nc
Caskrin of his seat in the legislature"
said Mr.. Cooke when conversed with
by telephone by The Argus today, as
to the proceeding, nor am l particular
ly anxious to continue in the legisla-
ture. But there is so much difference
of opinion on the part of the best legal
with whom | have con-
versed on this subject that l have
reached the conclusion that the ques-
ton of properly constituting the inten-
ton OF the voter under the system of
accumulative voting should be passed
upon and disposed of by the house of
which is the Judge of
its own membership and all that has
entered into their election thereto"
