THE CAPITOL DOME.
A Beautiful Piece of Work. Costing
Over a Million Dollars,

After the house and senate had taken
possession of the wings made ready for
them in 1857 and 1889 respectively ii
became clear that the old dome was
not sufficiently dignified TO surmount
the new structure. and accordingly
plans for larger one were drafted. \
complication which then arose explains
the capitol The building was greatly
heightened by the wings designed by
Thomas y. Walter. but not widened.
To give circular dome the requisite
height IL must have broader diane
ter Mr.. Walter in building the new
dome which congress authorized in
1855 met these conditions of height and
base. but in doing so he had to make
this great canopy project out so far on
the east front that il rests over the
porticoes.
1t is considered detrimental to the ar
tistic effect of building to make the

foundation of a colossal dome instead
Of the substantial part of the building
itself If the main edifice were brought
out far enough to the east to allow the
great dome to have solid base all

would be heightened In fact. this was

INDIANS OF ALL COLORS.
Negroes Psedominate in Muskogee,
Whites Come Next and Reds
Are Almost Rarities.

The first impression one gets Of
Muskogee, the largest and most impor-
tant town in Indian territory, is that
of a southern city with a large negro
population. The negro predominates,
the whites come in next and the red
men are often pointed u as excep-
tons, n might almost say r~arities.
And yet, says the Kansas City Journal,
legally and technically in Muskogee a
white men are Indians and are called
such; and this is true throughout the
Creek and Muskogee nation. The
title Indian includes Indians by blood,
Indians by intermarriage and freed
men.
The freedmen are the slaves who
were liberated during the civil war,
or their descendants. They were ad-
mitted to full citizenship in the Creek
nation and are entitled to share in the
distribution of the lands and moneys
of the tribe. They can vote for the
tribal officers and are eligible to the
tribal offices. The Creek council, con-
SlSlllB Ol the uUuSe VI hlUSS anu Tic
house of warriors, is in part made up
of negroes.
Freedmen, however, have not been
admitted to citizenship in the two
southern tribes, the Choctaws and the
Chickasaws, but the United States gov
eminent proposes to give them 40
acres of land apiece, but it must reim-
hurse these two nations for the lands
thus presented by a generous govern
ment to those who were formerly in
bondage to the governments wards
the Indians.
Intermarriage between the full-blood
Indians and the freedmen has been
frequent and extended among the
Creeks; somewhat less so among the
Seminoles, and practically unknown
among the Choctaws and Chickasaws
The existence of these negroes in such
numbers as in the Creek nation and
under the circumstances creates a ne
gro problem Of great Importance and
greater difficulty.

THE FINANCES OF RUSSIA.
In Recent Years the Supply of Loana-
BILE Money Has Become
Scarce and Dear.

Russia's position is like that of O
Robleman who has a large but utterly
neglected estate and a house that is fall
ing about his ears, who is deeply in debt,
who pays one lender by borrowing from
another, who sees his debts steadily
mounting up toward the point at which
ruin becomes unavoidable and who des-
perately makes the most fantastic at
tempts at making money, hoping TO dis
entangle himself, says o.. EltzbacheT, in
the Nineteenth Century. One of Rus
Bia's strange eXpedients for getting
money was lately revealed. According
to it's extremely well-informed Peking
correspondent, Russia claimed, after
the Boxer rising, from China, an in
demnity of SIT, 900, goo, on the ground
that she kept 179. 900 soldiers in China
at an expense of 9100 each. According
to the Picking correspondent of the
Times she kept in reality only $4,000 in
China.
OF late years the supply of loanable
money has for various reasons become
scarce and dear in the various money
centers of the world, and it would have
been extremely difficult for Russia to
provide for her ordinary peace eXpendi-
ture, as she would not easily have been
able to obtain these loans without which
she can apparently not make both ends
meet. Therefore it is not easy to see
how Russia will be able to raise the
funds necessary for carrying on the Jap
anese war, which will probably prove
exceedingly costly, and how she will
meet her current obligations unless she
should abandon her overambitious pol
icy, which is beyond her financial
strength, and disband her army and
navy. However, such an event seems
hardly likely.
Many of the best observers have for a
long time past been of opinion that Rus
STA is financially unable to conduct a
great war. However, lack of money has
prevented a nation from going to
war, for it may make up for its war ex-
penses by repudiating its public debt.
Whether Russia will meet her obllga-
tons in full remains to be seen. If she
should be forced to repudiate or to COM
pound with her foreign creditors, either
because of the co~stliness of the present
wal or because the international money
market can no longer supply Russia's
Unsuitable financial requirements, it will
be an evil day for the French nation,
which has lent to Russia more than
9300, 900, 900.
Russia's financial collapse would prob
ably meal the breakup of the dual al
lance, for in the first place the thrifty
Frenchman is exceedingly sensitive
when his pocket is touched and in the
second place Russia would have proved
herself financially unable to be an eff
cient ally to France in case of war. Am
pie funds are, after all, sinews of war
which are as indispensable as are armies
and fleets.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Records of
the public land Office for the fiscal

Tuesday, shows that 16,258,892 acres
of public lands were disposed Of during
the year, as compared with 22,650,92S

ed for these lands was $8,795,S93, as
compared with $10,557, ,61S last year.
The number of entries was 172,S57.

officials of the land Office, that the
public land boom of last year is sub
siding somewhat. Last year was the
record year. for 20 years, and the pres
ent is next highest in the number of
acres disposed of by the government.
Lands were taken up in "a states
and four territories. North Dakota
led in the number of acres and Ore
gon in the amount of cash received.
In North Dakota 1,798,551 acres were

Negro Shot to Death and His
Body Burned.
After He Had Confessed to Crlmlnally
AxsauIting a Little White Girl He
Was Taken From the Posse
Who Had Captured Him.

Cedartown, Ca, Aug. 23.-Jim Clio
yer, a Negro, was shot to death Mon
day night near the home Of the white
girl he had assaulted and his body
then dragged a distance of about q
mile into this city and burned at the
stake on the public square.
A mob estimated at 500 composed
the shooting and burning party.
The crime for which the Negro was
thus punished was that of committing
criminal assault upon little Levia
Reeves, the 13-year-old daughter OF a
farmer.
The true story of the crime is the
most revolving that has ever been
given to the public from this imme-
date section Of the country. After
the little girl had protected the Negro
from the attack Of large dog owned
by her father, he followed her to the
pasture, where she was taking a COW,
and criminally assaulted her. This
occurred Monday morning.
Bloodhounds had been on the Ne
gro's track since, and he was caught
some distance away late Monday aft.
ernoon, carried to the home Of the
girl, who unhesitatingly identified him
as her assailant.
In the meantime crowd Of 500 per
sons had gathered. The Negro con-
fessed his guilt. Immediately the
crowd took him away from the posse
which had captured him and his body
was riddled with bullets.
The crowd continued to gather, and
when the march back to town with the
dead body in tow began, it appeared
as IL 1000 persons had joined the
procession. BY the time the crowd
reached Cedartown several hundred
more had been added. About 1000
persons witnessed the burning as best
they could in the bright moonlight on
the most conspicuous place on Main
street. The town is in q fever of ex-
citement Monday night, but it 10
thought no trouble will follow.
