CAUSE OF RUSSiA'S DEFEAT
"Babbling" of Officers and Men Ac.
quaint Japs With Every Movement.


St. Petersburg. March 16.-M. Kiri-
lon. one of the Associated Press Rus
sian correspondents. draws a powerful
picture of the complete. criminal lack
OF knowledge on the part of the Rus
slams of the country and the enemy's
movements and of the utterly impru-
dent gossip and babbling which ac-
ment and plan before they are inaugu-
rated. He compares the Russian army
to a powerful yokel moving forward
blindfolded. wildly brandishing his
arms and shouting aloud what he will
do to the enemy when he catches him.
He cannot see his path nor his enemy.
Here he stumbles up hill. There he
falls into valley. The keen-eyed en-
emy easily avoids his waving arms
and mighty fists and pours in sue
cession of blows which send the Rus
sian yokel reeling backward. to his bit
ter astonishment.
M. Kiriloff adds that the blame for
the successive defeats is not Kuropat-
kin's. 1t is simply due to the fact that
the machine is out of order The merest
stripping sub-lieutenant chatters reck-
lessly and informedly of dispositions
and movements which should be known
only to few chiefs. The dispositions
and plans of the battle of the Shakhe
river. for example. were openly dis
cussed several days in advance in the
railroad restaurant at Mukden in tho
hearing of many Chinese, civilians and
camp followers.

only company and battalion command

commanders of divisions enter into
battle ignorant of the very manoeuvres
they are expected to execute. The Rus
sian intelligence department is defec-
tive. 1t knows nothing of the Japanese
numbers. positions or movements. not
only in the unsettled mountainous re-
gions. but even on the populated plains
of Manchuria. Instead of easily secur-

Russians alienated them. and they now

A SIGN OF EARLY PEACE
French Bankers Postpone Proposed
Russian Loan.


London, March 15.-The revolt of
the French bankers is considered by
the London newspapers as the most
hopeful and important news of the
day, promising an early conclusion of
peace between Russia and Japan. APP
parently the proposed loan has not
been absolutely refused, but only
postponed" This, however, is regard
ed here as being tantamount to a re-
fusal, and is expected to speak louder
to the Russian war party even than
General Kuropatkin's reverse at Muk-
den.
1t is the general belief that by the
death of M. Germain, the late governor
of the Credit Lyonnaise. Russia lost
her strongest financial friend in
France. and that had he been alive
no difficulty would have been expert
enced. With the American and Eng
lish markets closed to her, ii is
thought that Russia can only turn to
Germany. who is not likely to be much
more responsive than France. and the
only alternative would seem to be to
make peace.

the attacking force was a Japanese col

Story Of a Rancher.

The Kansas City Times vouch.
es + the following story Of one
of the ranchers in Oklahoma who
has lately become famous:
"George Miller of ranch '101'
lately made a stage coach trip
inland fifty miles from Ravalli,
Mont, when he asked the driver
what the fare would be, the latter
said: First class 81, second class
SO, and third class $780, Miller
bought first class passage and
climbed aboard. A moment or
two later stranger came up and
after counting his money careful
ly b ught SO seat. Then came
a native with holos in his shoes
and his wearing apparel tied up
in red bandana handkerchief.
He managed to shake S1.50 out
of his pockets and seemed glad to
ride anywhere. There was no
difference, however, in the de-
STABILITY of a seat, whereupon
Miller raised his voice in protest
and upbraided the driver for
making him pay 81 for a seat
that was no better than one for
which the tramp had paid S1.50.
Keep yer shirt on, pardner,' re-
piled the stage driver, 'and don't
begin kickin' before anybody
rolled the steel into you. Yer
get,in' a square DEAL After
travelling ten or twelve miles the
road started up the almost per-
pendicular side of a mountain.
The driver halted his horses,
turned in his seat, and in a voice
that sounded like a station agent
calling the departure of trains,
exclaimed: 'Firstclass oassen-
gers, keep yer seats; second class
passengers, git down and walk; I;
third class passengers, git out
and push, an push like hell. |"

DISTRIBUTING DEEDS.
II is Intimated That Hitchcock viii
Rescind His Retaining Order.

South McAlester, l. T., May
1.-THE work OF distributing
deeds to Choctaw and Chickasaw
lands is still in progress and
within two weeks 5000 deeds will
be in the hands of the Indian
allottees.
Despite the fact that the secre-
tary OF the interior refuses to rec
ognize the distribution as legal
because the Indian government
refuse t. let him approve the in
struments before they were given
to the individual Indians, the
tribal authorities declare that
their position will be upheld when
the proper legal steps are taken.
It is even intimated that the Sec
retary of the interior will rescind
his order to retain the thousand
of deeds completed by his depart.
ment and not permit them to fall
into the hands of the Indians.
Basing the order on the past
wavering policy of the depart
ment, it is thought that the long
drawn out dispute will end quietly
by Secretary Hitchcock with
drawing his objections to the
policy being pursued by the
tribes.
Unless this is done the Indians
will probably take legal steps to
secure the undelivered deeds now.

DURANT, I. T., MAY 10, 1905

Judge Ward of Atoka says
with reference to deporting those
people from Atoka the other day,
.'If they don't want to pay the
Indian tax they should have staid
out of the Indians country" 1t
occurs to US that class OF remarks
have been made by every trusti in
the United States in its hold-up
policies, ''If you don't like my
prices and methods you don't
have to buy" Or the usurer can
say, ''if you don't want to pay
my charges, there are no strings
on you" Or the highwayman
can say, "you knew l infested
this country; you should have
gone around" and So on ad fini.
tum But, when it is considered
that this tax is levied to support
a judiciary that has jurisdiction
of no earthly affair; of con-
stabulary who have no duties; of
a government that is without
power, except the predatory one
of collecting its fees of office, then
it is that most of us feel like we
have a kick coming, and so would
the Judge if he were in our shoes.

Minister Who Killed Man Is Re-
leased From Prison.

Lawton, o. T. May 12.-
Deputy Sheriff Sigmon has re-
ceived a letter from Rev. E. r.
Garlend of Kingston, l. T., an
nouncing that he has recently
been pardoned from the peni-
tentiary by the governor of Ar-
kansas, and that he has returned
to his family and ministerial
work in Indian Territory.
Garland was arrested at Kin g.
ston more than a year ago on a
warrant charging him with the
murder of a man in Arkansas.
He was taken away from a sick
wife and a large family and
brought to Lawton and placed in
jail. When taken to Arkansas
he pleaded guilty to manslaughter
and he was sentenced tn the pen
itentiary. He had the sympathy of
the people and through the en-
fluence of friends was pardoned
after serving sentence of about
a year.
Garlend was circuit preacher
at the time of his arrest. The
man he killed insulted his wife.
