BIXBY is CRITICISED
REPORT OF INVESTIGATOR ON
ALLEGED ABUSES IN IN
DIAN TERRITORY.

Washington, March 8.-The report
Of Charles Bonaparte and Clinton X.
Woodruff on their investigation or the
alleged abuses and Irregularities in
the public service of tho Indian Terri
tory under the control of the interior
department was submitted to congress
during the day by the president. The
report stigmatizes the conditions IN
the territory as involving immediate
danger of ruin to the genuine Indian
population and profound discredit to
the United States, exciting reasonable
discomfort on the part OF all classes OF
the population and demanding prompt
and drastic remedies on the part OF
congress-
The report reviews the report OF 5.
NJ Brosius, agent OF the Indian Rights
association, on conditions in the ter
ritory and says that while the Brosius
report contains number of intima-
tions and suggestions not justified by
the facts Ii understates the objection
able features of the administration OF
public affairs there and its specific al
legations respecting federal officials
are substantially true. 1t says that
the connection of Tams Bixby, chair
man of the committee to the Five Civ
ilized Tribes, with the Canadian Val
ley Trust company
Impars His Usefulness
as a public official and should ter
inmate Immediately ii he is to retain
his ommissionership. His invest
ments in what are known as posses
sorry rights" in townsite lands are
stamped as yet more Objectionable.
Commissioner Thomas B. Needles OF
the Five Civilized Tribes commission
admits owning a small interest in a
corporation at Vineta and the report
says the propriety of disposing OF this
should be officially suggested to him.
The investments OF Commissioner
Breckenridge of the same body are
stated to be of much graver impor-
tance and his considerable invest
ments In corporation stock, the report
saws, have seriously impaired his pub
lie usefulness. A. l.. Aylesworth, chief
clerk OF the commission, is identified
In public opinion with real estate spec
ulations disproportionate to his means
and the report says such speculations
should be strictly forbidden and all
officials engaged In them should be
separated from the service.
The report says the Five Tribes
commission can be abolished with ad-
vantage. the remaining work TO be

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE
ONE WOMAN KILLED BY JAPAN
ESE BOMBARDMENT OF
vLADIvoSTOk.

Vladiyostok. March S.-Outside OF
killing a woman and wounding few
men Sundays bombardment of Vladl
vostok by the Japanese heet ala nc
material damage. The wooden cottage
OF an artisan was the only building
wholly DESTROYED 1t was pierced by a
shell from a 12-inch gun, which, after
traversing the roof and wall, fell IN
the yard, killing the woman previously
referred to.
In the quarter of the city called the
"Dirty Corner" shell fell on the
house of Colonel Shukoff without ex-
ploding. 1t traversed a bedroom, de-
stroying a stove and penetrated tne
wall II finally burst near the regl-
mental safe, which was standing III
the courtyard A sentry guarding the
safe was covered with mud, but was
not injured.
Five sailors were slightly wounded
by the explosion OF shell IN the court
yard of the Siberian naval barracks.
Outside OF these casualties no one
was killed or injured and there was
no outbreak of fire in the city. Inc
fact that the Russian batteries did not
reply to the Japanese bombardment
was due partially TO the slight chance
Of hitting the enemy's warships al
such a long range and partially to a
desire not to betray the position OF the
batteries.
II is now thought that the attacking
squadron consisted OF battleship'
four armored cruisers and two unpro-
tected cruisers.

Consuls in Manchuria.
Washington, March S.-The Chinese
government has granted the applica-
tion of the state department for exc
quators for Messrs. Cheshire and Da-
wilson as United States consuls at
Mukden and Antung, respectively.
These officers are now at sea on their
way to the East and they should reach
Shanghai about the end OF the first
week in April. At this point they will
wait for further instructions from the
state department before proceeding to
their posts. Antung is reported to be
garrisoned by Russian force and
Mukden is believed to be the Russian
headquarters in Manchuria. In this
situation the state department does
not care to force an issue by insisting
upon the reception of its consuls. Be-
sides, it is pointed out that there is at
present absolutely no trade relations
between Mukden and Antung on the
one hand and the United States on the
other, so that there is no real neces-
sity for the presence OF American con-
suls at those places just now.
Messrs. Cheshire and Davidson Will
tarry at Shanghai for time awaiting
the developments of the campaign.

just Oxygen.

Liquozone is simply liquid oxygen-no
drugs, no alcohol in it. 1t is the discovery
of PAUL., the great German chemist, who
spent 20 years on it. His object was to
get such an excess Of oxygen in staple
form into the blood that no germ could
live in any membrane or tissue.
Oxygenis life to an animal-the very
source Of vitality. We would die in three
minutes without it. In this liquid form
its effects are exhilarating, purifying,
vitalizing. But germs are vegetables, and
this excess of oxygen is deadly to yege-
table matter.

Toxic, March Sit Is believed that
the Russian Vladivostok squadron Is

Tumen river engaged in covering the
movement of troops from Possiet bay
to the. valley OF Tumen.
Russian scouts are reliably reported
to have penetrated south as far as

movement into Northeastern Korea
was regarded as a diversion, but 1t
now appears that considerable force
participated 1t is thought that the
Russians may occupy and fortify some
strong position on the Tumen river
Reports regarding Russian movements
in Northwestern Korea are meager
and unreliable. The force north of the
Yalu is being increased, but 1T is
doubted il any considerable number or
Russians have crossed the river.

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to help Nature overcome the
germs, and such results are indirect and
uncertain. Liquozone kills the germs,
wherever they are, and the results are in
evitable. BY destroying the cause of the
trouble. it invariably ends the disease,
and forever.

FePtiIiZimg Salt.

The Vermont Experiment Station at
Burlington weighed ten clusters of grass
from two plots of land lying side by side.
From the unsalted plot the ten plants
weighed IA grams, while from the plot
which had received 5000 pounds of salt
per acre, they weighed 26grams ornearly
twice as much.
Speaking of its effectiveness in killing
Hawk Weed, or Paint Brush. the expert
ment station bulletin says: "Most of
the weed was killed by the application
of 1000 pounds per acre. Every plant
of it was killed by the application of
5000 pounds per acre and the weight of
the grass was nearly doubled"
FERTILIzING SALT can be obtained of
c. S. Page, Hyde Park, Vt, at 81 90 per
ton in carload lots; and $3.50 in less
than car load lots, put up in cheap 1OO-lb
sacks-no charge for sacks. At this price
the Salt is delivered on board the cars
at Hyde Park. Low, special freight
rates have been arranged to all points on
