ference with the Government off,

the beIsef that the legislation de-
sired by Mr. Bixby well be enacted
this winter, and proposes to help

lie refused 70 discuss these mat
ters IN detail, but il IS known that
they refer to grinding up the affairs
Of the Indians, some laws being
necessary before it can be done.
Mr.. Curtis is the father Of the bill,
which provides for the allotment Of
Indian lands in severalty.
As to conditions here Mr.. Curtis
states that the greatest and most
immediate need Of the Indian Ter
ritory IS complement Of Probate
Tndges, one for each recording dis
tricf. twenty-eight in all. He says
that each Of the Federal Judges Is
loaded down with work. and they
have now more probate business
than any Of the Probate Judges inI
the States. This business, TOO, IS
rapidly increasing.
Nearly half Of the land in In
dian Territory is owned by minors,
and the nature Of things here make
the matter Of handling an estate a
matter that requires no little atten-
tion. Mr. Curtis will endeaver to
get relief for the Territory along
this line.

WHERE WILL IT END?

Because the Chinese merchants
have begun to increase their pur.
chases Of cotton goods, and because
they reduced their purchases a year
before the Japaneses-Russo war,
knowing that the war was newt
able, a '.cOtton mill man" of North
Carolina, basing his judgment on the
prophetic power of the Chinese mer-
chants, tells us that the war in the
far east is soon to come to an end.
It is tde wish of the civil and
commercial world that such predic-
ton shall be verified, but really
there is little hope afforded for early
peace between Russia and Japan
from reports received.
The popular sympathy for the
japanese and admiration for their
gallantry may lead US to expect too
much of those people. True they
are ferocious fighters, but the
slaughter of their troops has been
very great, and some of the highest
military authority in the world is
nov warning Japan that she is in
danger of losing too much blood in
the storming of forts.
Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister
at London, after explaining that
former demands of Russia would
not satisfy his government to-day,
says that hostilities are to continue
throughout the winter; that 'Ewe
have given up the plan of taking
Port Arthur by assault" etc. Even
if Port Arthur should be taken it
seems entirely safe to set it down
that the war cannot be ended i'm
mediately by continuous desperate
fighting and enormous losses.
The Russians are preparing for a
trying winter calnpalgn. They are
not whipped yet. The resources Of
the empire are enormous. The
eagerness Of the japanese soldier 10
die for his, count is prov rhlal.
Port Arthur may { II hefare the on
slaught Of the brave lille Japs, and
they may win Tie Pass, and Ia
even take VIadivostok, but even
those successes will not NEAR an end
to the conflict. If an end be near it
seems it must come about by an in
tervention Of other nations as peace
makers; or by internal disturbances
in one or tue other countries that
may deride and destroy power.
