st. Louis. Oct. 16.-SuperinteEdent
S. M. MCGOWAN of the Indian school

communication from G. A. Madison,
superintendent of the Rescue Mission
of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, in which he
offers to grant 50-room building for
use as school for Indian girls of all
the United States Indian schools. His
plan is to offer those who have reached
advanced grades, or who have shown
talent In special lines, such as music,
art or elocution, an opportunity to de-
yelop these talents. He also offers
to give them scholarships in Vassar
college. Mr.. Madison stated that be-
fore his visit to the Indian school he
knew nothing of the Indians, and
looked upon them as human Texas
steers," incapable of ever becoming
educated, but since he has become an
Indian enthusiast, and would do all
in his power to assist in opening the
door Of opportunity to Indian girls.

JAPANESE WOULD
WELCOME PEACE
Mikado's Kingdom Shocked By
Slaughter of Their Enemies.
RUSSIAN HONOR NOT INVOLVED
A Leading Japanese 0mcial Says
Every Interest Of Humanity De-
mands the Peaceable Adjust-
ment of Differences.

Toxic, Oct. 17.--There Is o strong
appeal for peace in the appalling trag-
edy which is now under enactment in
Manchuria. Both armies have fought
ferociously for week, and desperate
fighting still continues. 1t is probable
that the death roll will be largely in
creased before the final shot is fired.
The preliminary reports indicate
that about 10000 men have been either
killed or wounded, the larger portion
Of them being Russians, since the ar
mics Of the two belligerents closed in
combat.
Even the Japanese, to whom the
great victory lis Of paramount import
ance, seem to be shocked by the
slaughter Of their enemies. The Jap
anese people are receiving the news
from the field Of battle calmly, and
there can be heard no shouts in the
streets proclaiming the victory Of their
nation. Few flags are displayed. Prob
ably later on there will be process
sion, with the consequent jollifcation,
but there are heard many expressions
Of opinion that no demonstration of
any kind should be held. A prominent
Japanese said to press correspond
ent Sunday:
I'VE have won sweeping and de-
cisive victory which may prove to be
the salvation of our country's exist
ence, but we regret both our own losses
and the terrible slaughter which our
forces have inflicted on the enemy.
We regret still more the necessity
which forced us to engage In this
war"
A member of the diplomatic corps
in an interview with the correspond
ent, said:
IT believe the world will recoil from
the sickening slaughter of this battle
Every interest of humanity demands
the adjustment of the differences be-
tween the two nations and the procla,
nation Of peace. The situation be.
tween the two belligerents is a deli
cate one, but what splendid triumph
for diplomacy it would be If peace
could be arranged. 1t seems to me thai
the question of honor Is no longer in
volved. If Russia feels that such {
question is involved. surely the heroic
and successful defense of Port Arthur
and the valor shown by Russian sol
diers on the fields of Manchuria should
forever determine the quality of Rus
sian courage. Russians should remem

Whitecapplna Charge.

That judges of circuit courts in
Middle Tennessee are becoming
aroused over actions Of mobs and
whitecappers is shown by the charges
they are now giving to the grand ju-
ries in their courts. At Pulaski last

the grand jury to give special atten-
tion to the recent whipping of John

THE KING is DEAD;
LONG LIVE THE KING
King George of Saxony Died at
Pillnitz Saturday Morning.
FREDERICK AUGUSTUS REIGNS
The Period of the Royal Mourning
Has Been Fixed to Cover Twen-
ty-Four weeIss--Preparing
Far the Funeral.

Dresden, Saxony, Oct. liking
George of Saxony died at Pillnitz early
Saturday morning, shortly after he had
designated Crown Prince Frederick
Augustus, husband Of the eloping
Crown Princess Louise, to take up
the duties as king because Of his seri-
GUS illness.
Prince John George and the Princess
Mathilde were at the bedside OF King
George when he expired.
The new king, Frederick Augustus,
eldest son of the deceased monarch, re-
ceived the ministers and officers OF the
royal household and fixed the period Of
mourning at "a weeks. The king was
also occupied with many details of taxi
ing over the government and consult
ing in relation to the funeral and
mourning arrangements.
The shutters are up at all the shop
windows, flags are at half-mast and
the bells are tolling.
King George was born August 1882,
and succeeded his childless brother AL
| bert two years ago, thus dispossessing
Queen Caroline. The state religion OF
Saxony is Catholic, but Queen Caro-
line was Protestant princess, and the
birth of an heir to the throne might
have changed the religion Of the state.
The family of King George is devoted
to the church of Rome. his eldest son,
Prince Maximilian being bishop OF
Kuhn and being in addition a profess
sor In the University of Freyburg.
Frederick Augustus, crown prince of
Saxony, who succeeds to the throne,
married the Archduchess Louisie of
Austria, daughter of the grand duke OF
Tuscany. The new king has the repu-
tation of being rather dull and heavy
witted. Like most of his family, he is
a soldier pure and simple. He has
lived life of one of his rank without
any serious scandal or without having
done anything particularly brilliant
His greatest claim to fame, outside OF
the fact that he was crown prince OF
Saxony, has been that he was the hus-
band of the clipping Princess Louise
He has three children.
The new king was sincerely attached
to his wife, and 1t is regarded as moi
at all impossible that some sort Of a
reconciliation may be patched up be.
tween the two. It has more than once
been limited that only the irreconcila-
BILE opposition of the dead king has
prevented reconciliation before this.
