President Makes Decision Regarding
Funds for Education of In

Washington, Feb c. President
Roosevelt has sent letter to Secretary
Hitchcock on the subject Of authority
for granting contracts for the education
Of Indians in UNCONVENTIONAL schools.
The president says that inasmuch as
the legal authority exists to grant the
request of the Indians unQuestionably
they are entitled by moral right to have
their moneys used to educate the chill

president directs that the interior de-

congress directs otherwise CT the courts
hold that the decision of the department
of justice to this effect is wrong. The
president also urges the passage of the
Lacey bill, authorizing the allotment of
annuities in severalty to the Indians in

STEADY PROGRESS is NOTED
COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS ARE
GENERALLY SATISFACTORY.
Indications That the Maximum Of
Activity Is Yet to
Come.

New York, Feb. 6.-R. G. Dun & Co. e
Weekly Review of Trade says: Business
progresses steadily, all speculative ex-
cesses having been avoided thus far, and
the numerous negotiations now pending
indicate that the maximum of activity is
yet to come. Some irregularity in re-
ports for the first month were undoubt-
eddy due to exceptionally severe wealth
er. Taken as whole, however results
for January We're very much better than
in the same monthlast year, particularly
as to'failures. Distribution of merchan-
disc is once more on liberal scale, traf-
nc blockades having disappeared, and in
many cases large clearance sales having
disposed of burdensome stocks. Collec
tons are still somewhat irregular, but
on the whole there is little cause for COM
plant. Few labor disputes are inter
rupting work, although several new con-
troversieS are threatened. Manufactur-
ing plants are making the best returss
Iron furnaces and steel mills operate
close to their full capacity.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 2o9 against 305
last week, 335 the preceding week, and
246 the corresponding week last year.
Failures in Canada number 80, against
43 last week, "a the preceding week, and
80 last year"
Bradstreet's says: widespread cold
weather hampers trade in nearly all
lines, thus retarGing but not entirely
checking the opening Of spring distribu-
ton. Except in a few lines, especially
cotton manufacturing, advance business
has been placed with free hand, and the
feeling is none the less strong that mild
er weather will usher in widespread ac-
tivity in all lines. Records Of past move
ment confirm fairly optimistic reports
given in these columns. January clear
ings are the largest ever recorded in that
month, though falling behind those of
December The south alone shows
smaller January totals than year ago.
Failures reflect the annual stock takings
and balancing of books in a larger num-
Der of failures, but in greatly reduced liza
bilities as compared with January year
ago. The south here, too, carries the
chief burden, in that the entire increase
in number over a year ago is reported
by that section. which also shows the
largest liabilities of any group of states"

closest sympathy and fellowship by the
one purpose that rules the hearts OF
all, which is to make the war sue
cess. All are willing to suffer in the
cause. All are Wiling to make sacrl-
fees, and are making them, from Gen.
Nogi, the hero of Port Arthur, who has
lost two sons in the war, down to the
most humble inhabitant.
The supreme ambition of every SOL
der who leaves home and friends Tor
the battle front is to die in the thick
of the fight, and find grave in Man
churia; and mothers and fathers, and
brothers and sisters count it mark OF
distinction and honor to have lost their
loved ones on the battlefield. This
feeling exists even into the high
er circles. The story is told of the
wife of Gen. Yamamoto that when he
fell in the engagement at Liaoyang and
the news reached his widow, she said
with eyes undimmed by tears and
with a smile upon her face that she
counted it an honor that her husband
had fallen in battle. And this is not
because the japanese heart lacks al
fectionate impulses or feels not the loss
of dear ones, but because the heart OF
Japan is all wrapped up in the terrible
war.
And to how many, many thousands
has come such qualification. The world
does not yet know, but the numbers
are fast mounting up towards the 100,-
600 mark. The dead thus far have out
numbered the wounded. There have
been some cases of suicide rather than
fall into the hands of the enemy, no
table instance being that Of Lieut.. Col.
Suchi, commander of the transport Hi
tachi Maru," which was sunk by the
vladivostok fleet. Rather than sur
sender he burned the flag and then sui
sided and many others on the ship fol-
lowed his example, and as result all
the troops persisted.
But the sentiment against this an
cient practice is growing, and in some
cases it meets with frank condemna-
ton. The moral idea that life is sa-
cred and that suicide is belated meth
cd of proving courage or innocence has
gotten hold of the public mind, and
Japan can never go back to the old
idea and the old practices Of self-de-
struction.
The care of the wounded who are
sent back to Japan is admirable, and
the most conspicuous feature at SEN
dai, Osaka, and other large cities are
the temporary hospitals which have
been erected. In some cases they are
so numerous as to appear like whole
villages by themselves. They are
roomy and airy and clean. The usual
size of the buildings is about 40x150
feet, which provides accommodation
for 60 men comfortably. These sheds
are connected with each other by COW
cred passages. The largest group of
these hospital buildings is at Osaka,
where the old exposition grounds
have been cleared to make room fol-
them.

A Dummy Wrist.

The clevcrcst trick that ever has

was executed by a member OF the
chain gang at Duluth named William
Goodman. When the gang was being
escorted TO the stone yard Goodwin
suddenly broke and ran. The deputy
in charge scarcely could believe his
eyes, for the prisoner all were hand
cuffed in pairs. The deputy assumed
that Goodman has broken the steel
bracelet. Goodman was captured af-

then an investigation was made. of
how he got away. Then it was discov-

A great factor in revolutionizing the

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Seed Wheat,

Plump, heavy kernels OF wheat
grown in rustcd field, but which ma
tufed despite the severe test to which
they were put, are especially desirable
as seed wheat this season, according to
Professor C. =. Bull OF the Minnesota
state experiment farm, in statement
he has just issued on the subject
Professor Bull advises farmers, how
ever, to use extreme caution IN select
ing for seed wheat that was grown Ia
rusted fields. He estimates that only
a small proportion, probably 10 or ~
per cent, of the wheat grown In rust
infected fields, will be sound enough TO
use advisedly rs seed.
Very little wheat that was attacked
by rust last year grades above NO. :"
northern, most Of it being no grade
and rejected. This, Professor Bull I'M
reservedly declares, should not be used
for seed. If there is any No. o. no.
., however, he advises farmers to IN
vest in tanning mills and clean and
grade every kernel to be used for seed
with extreme care.
The fact that these kernels mao
proved rust resistant, Professor Bull
says, is not their only claim to desir-
ability as seed. The additional advan-
tage of adaptability to the soil and
climate to the section in which they
are used, gives such seed an advantage
over any other of equal merit that Is
brought from another locality.
Besides advising careful selection
with view to the elimination of all
rust-damaged kernels, Professor Bull
says that rotation of crops should be
extensively practiced this year in fields
that were ravaged. Professor Bull
goes on record as saying that il this is
done, the possibilityof an attack of
rust this year will be obviated.
