The Thaw.

The mercury in the thermometer at
six O'Clock this morning stood at 49,,
40 degrees higher than it was Tuesday
morning. The mild conditions of yester-
day brought on a thaw and cutters pre-
yiouslv ice-bound were once more emit
ting gurgling sounds, while the roaring
of sewers was heard, The streets were IN
an exceedingly untidy condition. The
sidewalks in many parts ofthe city we're
covered with water as the ice which had
so long veneered them gave way under
the mellow sunshine, while some inter
sections were rendered almost impossible
save to persons wearing rubber boots.
Cloudy conditions followed at night and
there were several showers. The temper
AZURE this morning was mild with threat
ening skies, and a stiff southern breeze.
Shortly after noon rain began to fall and
most of the ice remaining in the streets
was Obliterated.

Favorable Conditions for Grip.

The thaw which set in yesterday is
liable to increase the sickness in the
city, and too much care cannot be taken
by all classes, especially those whose &C.
equations are without doors. The air
has been heavily-laden with moisture
which is emanating from the earth con.
tinually, producing conditions calculated
to spread the grip and other mid-wintef
ailments. All the impurities which have
been frozen Oyer by the ice are now IN
evidence and until rains wash the stree t.
and northwest winds purify the air there
will be more or less apprehension. Many
persons thoughtlessly lay aside over
coats and wraps at every rise OF the TEN
perature. Numbers pay the penalty o
their imprudenee, while all are liable Il
suffer the consequences of such acts.

HAS BEEN COLDER. -Frostbitten
Americans, who recently rubbed their
singing ears and beat together their
numbed fingers, complain bitterly that
this winter is almost intolerable. Gould
their sufferings be alleviated by calling
to mind that the Thames in England in
1868, and again in l740, was frozen
over for many weeks so solidly that fairs
we're held upon the ice-stifiened surface
of the stream? In 1884, so it is said,
parts of the Mediterranean Sea were
crossed on ice. We all bearin mind the
horrors of the retreat from Moscow OF
Napoleon's grand army, and 1t should
not be forgotten that Boston harbor was
sealed by the cold in 1874, and naviga'
ton was suspended entirely. Let US
take heart, then, and, as we buffet ou'
breasts, we may cheer n another witf
the comforting thought that even coldeI
winters than this have been known N
past centuries. IN. Y. Tribune.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN. The delay IN
Russia's reply to Japan is reported to
be the opposition in government circles
to making con c~essions which, while &C
ceptable to Japan, would be a sacrifice

Russia to its last note and that the mere

MORE SCHOOL MONEY NEEDEL
Appropriation by Congress for indian
Territory Too Small

MUSKOGEE: j. d. Benedict su-
perintendent OF indian Territory
schools, with the aid of the various
tribal supervisors, mas about com.
pleted plans for the appOrtionment Of
the 100000 appropriation. which con.
gress provided for strengthening and
increasing day schools. The appropri-
alton, Mr.. Benedict says. has been
found insufficient for the present de-
mands. One-half OF it must neces.
sity be spent to strengthen the
tribal schools so as 10 admit white
children, and the remaining $4,000
will pay for only $50 new institutions,
when, in fact at least 500 are needed.
Mr.. Benedict. in his opinion, says
that at least $4,000 more should be
appropriated for schools next year,
and he is preparing TO urge congress
to look after the matter. 1t has also
been suggested that congress should
do something during the coming ses-
sion in regard to providing a system
after the tribal schOo.s are abolished
in 1906. After March l of that year
there will be no Indian Schools and
unless provision is made beforehand
very few of any sort will exist.
