StanIsy's Statement.
Two-thirds of Chickasaws and
Choctaws Have Taken Al
lotments.

William S. Stanely on resigning
his Office as a member of the
Dawes Commission issued state
ment which contains many facts OF
interest. The following para
graphs are extracts from his state
ment
The schedules Of citizens and
freedmen Of the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Nations thus far ap-
proved by the secretary of the in
terror contain the names Of 3I,oII
persons and Of this number 10000
have been identified and have re-
ceived certificates Of citizenship
at this Office and practically the
same number have received said
certificates at the Choctaw Land
Office at Atoka. II thus appears
than two-thirds Of the approved
citiaens and freedmen of the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw Nations rave
been identified, secured citizenship
certificates and made selection Of
their aIlotments within the ten
months that the land Offices have
been open TO business n these
two nations.

A large number Of applicants for
selection of allottments have been
refused because the persons at
tempting to make the same have
not been informed as to the charac-
ter of location of the land which
they desire to select.
The work is i'll fair way of com
pletion, and with sufficient force in
the contest department to close that
work with the work Of allotment,
there is no good reason why the
work Of the Chickasaw Land Office
can not be substantially closed by
the 2oth Of April, 1905, two years
after its opening.
In closing this report and sever
ing my connection with the work,
/ am pursuaded 10 submit a word
of counsel to the citizens of the
Chickasaw Nation. The land of
the Territory, rich in products and
fertile in possibilities-a fortune
and an empires but a remnant
Of the possessions Of your fathers,
and will give to each Chickasaw
citizen $50 acres of the average
lands of the territory.
You will permit me to urge upon
you the necessity of holding and
improving this patrimony of your
fathers for yourselves and your
children.
The rich land Of the Chickasaw
Nation almost bouldless in its re-
sources and possibilities is prize
toward whic the greedy eyes Of the
shrewd specuiator will turn and
plausible inducements will be Of
fered you to give it into their
hands.

Declsive Battle Expected.

ST Petersburg, Aug. S.-4:1O p m.
whether a general engagement is
already progressing around Lao Yang
between the forces of General kuro-
patkin and the three japanese armies
which have been moved against them
from the south and east, the decisive
battle of the campaign is regarded as
certain il the Japanese energetically
follow up their preliminary successes
of the last three days. At various
points the lighting has been of des-
perate and bloody character, the Rus
slams offering the most stubborn re-
sistance The losses, therefore, al
though their extent is not yet estaD-
lished must be heavy on both sides.
Between 5000 and 5000 men is one
estimate given of the Russian losses.
All the estimates, however, are little
better than guess work as yet and pos
sibly the Russian casualties may be
much larger.

WALL AT ROSEMOUT.
Stops to See Parker on the Way to
Europe.

Esopus, N. Y, Aug. 3.-Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Wall, of Wisconsin, reached
Rosemount today, remained for lunch
con and spent the afternoon with
Judge Parker and his family. Mr..
Wall who was Wisconsin's favorite son
for the presidency, and his wife are en-
route to Europe.
Whether Judge Parker resigns his
position of chief judge of the court
of appeals before or after August 8,
his decision will not be Influenced by
practical politicians interested in his
campaign for the presidency. In a
manner so emphatic as to leave no
doubt of his displeasure at the specu-
lation published in relation to his APP
preaching withdrawal from judicial
duties Judge Parker said today that
he would determine what his action
will be without assistance or advice
from anybody unless it is from his as
sociateS on the bench.
Judge Parker said today he had seen
the mention of Daniel S. Lamont, Sec
rotary of war under President Cleve-
land, for the governorship and that
he very much admired Mr.. Lamont
Further than that he would not speak
and never at any time has he expressed
preference for any of the candidates.

THEY ARE GOING RIGHT ALONG
Judge Hurrel Appoints Commission
ers for Northwestern Line

Judge J. W. Hurrel, of the district
court of Pottawatomie county, has APP
pointed commissioners to conCfc3nn land
for the right of way for the Topeka &
Northwestern railway, which will be-
come a part of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn when built, through Pottawatomie
county.
The commissioners are: o. j. Grover,
]. e. Teeter and John Herr. Mr.. Grover
has declined to serve and another ap-
pointment will follow to fill his place.
The right of way agents have already
begun acquiring the deeds for the right
of way in Shawnee county The agents
who are buying the land have been
making trips over the route for the
purpose of getting together on terms
with the various land owners, and it is
reported that all are friendly to the
road and that the indications are that
no land will have to be condemned to
get possession of it.

ONLY TWO PLACES.
VIII BE No Candidate Against Robi-
son for Railroad Commissioner.

The friends of the commercial in
terests won a fight in the Democratic
committee on rules and order of BUSH
ness, by getting through motion to
TWO candidates for railroad commits
sfoners instead of three. This will
leave no candidate against J. w. Robi-
son. the Republican candidate. who is
Favored by the commercial interests.
This. action was taken in order to
keep the vote of the commercial in
tereSts and the Republicans who will
oppose the two alleged railroad mem
Ders or the board on the Republican
ticket, from splitting up their votes
among four candidates. For instance,
II there are three candidates on the
Democratic ticket, the dissatisfied Re-
publicans would vote for Robson on
the Republican ticket and perhaps the
f1rst two Democrats on the Democratic
ticket Another would vote for Robi-
son and the last two Democrats, so
that the votes would be divided among
the three Democratic candidates and
all of them would be defeated. 1t was
a hard matter for some of the Demo-
Gratis to understand this and they
wanted to put up three candidates
Harry Mcmillan, president OF the
Federation of Commercial Interests,
appeared before the committee on
rules and order of business at noon
and explained that the federation had
recommended six candidates for rail-
heDemocrats to nominate but two of
them for the reasons stated above.
He was reinforced by some of the
other members of the federation. M.
F. Belisle of Larned and two or three
others supported the request of the
federation, but Sam Maxwell of Clay
Center opposed it. The proposition
won.
Belisle also got through a PROPOSE
ton to nominate insurance commits
SiOner after the railroad commission
ers- He explained that the only can
didate for insurance commissioner he
knew of was S. p. Cobb of wellington,
in his judicial district, but that We'll
lington also has a candidate for rail-
road commissioner; that Cobb will
not allow the use of his name for the
insurance Office until after the rail-
road commissioners are disposed of,
for fear of injuring the candidacy of
w. NJ. Ferguson for railroad commits
sioner. So far Cobb is the only avow-
ed candidate for insurance commits
sioner.

SOUTHERN CHIVALRY.

Another case of southern chivalry''
has come to light in connection with
the effort to establish a postoffice in
Mississippi bearing the name of the
Igovernor of that state. The applica-
tfon was rejected by the postmaster
general and If the facts are as he states
them, there will be few found who will
not feel that he acted in an entirely
proper manner. Mr.. Payne, in justifi-
cation of mis- course. submits the fol-
lowing statement:
"On the 9Th day OF May, 1904, petit
ton was filed with the department, ask
ing for the establishment of a postoffice
at a certain point in Calhoun county.
in the state of Mississippi and request
ing that it be named Vardaman.
Immediately the usual investigation
made by the department as to the ne
cessity for the establishment of the
office was undertaken. Pending the in
quiry a copy of the Daily Clarion
Ledger, a newspaper published at Jack
son, Miss, dated August 25, 1903, was
filed with the department, containing
an article to which the departments
attention was called. This article was
copy of an editorial printed in the
Commonwealth under date of January
10. 1903, which paper is published and
edited by Governor Vardaman. The
article in question was so vile and in
decent in it's statements concerning the
mother of the president of the United
States as to be unfit for reproduction.
The postmaster general did not deem it
proper to give a postoffice the name
of any man who had used sucn lang
uage regarding any woman. The post
office in question has been ordered
established and given the name of Tim
berville.
I'm exercising the discretion given
him the postmaster general frequently
rejects names suggested for proposed
postoffices. He has never been clearer
as to his duty than in this case.
TT is proper to say that President
Roosevelt had no knowledge of the in
cident referred to-
