INDIAN STATESMEN.
Five Civilized Tribes Meet in Con-
vcntion,

Muscogee, I. r., Aug. 23.--The chief
taincy of the Five Civilized tribes met
here in convention Monday to declare
for separate statehood for Indian Ter
ritory, aided and abetted by white resi-
dents of the Indian Territory, who for
both business and sentimental reasons
are opposed to a union with Okla
homa. This is the first time the tribal
citizens of the Indian Territory ever as
sembled for the purpose of notifying
Congress that they are ready for state
hood.
Many leaders in this separate state
hood convention say privately that
while they would prefer separate
statehood, yet they believe that only
joint statehood will be given to the two
territories.
This convention was called to make
and adopt state constitution. 1t is
probable that the actual work will be
delegated to a committee authorized
to submit the constitution to the peo-
pie for ratification. The convention
will declare for prohibition, which may
be submitted as an issue separate from
the constitution. At the same time
funds will be raised to ratify- the con
stitution.
The first week or ten days of the con-
vention probably will be occupied by
organizing and appointing committees
for the various branches of the work
and discussing the main points that
should enter into the constitution.
The convention will probably then
adjourn for week and reassemble. at
which time the committees will report
and sections of the proposed constitu-
tion will be submitted and discussed
separately. Delegates will be allowed
to suggest changes eId discuss points
freely. This will doubtless occupy
much time, and the convention may
last thirty or even sixty days.

conaer to Leave Mexico.

Oyster Bay, Aug. Baldwin II. Con.
ger of Iowa has resigned his post as
American ambassador to Mexico. to
take effect October 18th next. and
President Roosevelt has accepted the
resignation.
Mr.. Conger's retirement from the
diplomatic service was foreshadowed
in these dispatches last week. 1t was
Indicated then that he might be sent
to Peking as special commissioner OF
the President to adjust, II possible, the
differences which have arisen between
this country and China over the boy
colt of American goods by some OF the
Chinese commercial guilds. While no
official statement is obtainable here re-
garding the mission, there are reasons
for the statement that 1t either has
been abandoned by the President or
that 1t has been declined by Mr.. Con.
ger. At any rate, Mr.. Conger will not
go to China as a representative OF the
government.
1t has not been determined definitely
yet who will succeed Mr.. Conger as
ambassador to Mexico, but, as hereto
fore stated, 1t probably will be David
Il. Thompson OF Nebraska, now Ameri-
can ambassador to Brazil. It is known
that Mr.. Thompson desires the Mexico
post.

THE PRESIDENTS PLAN
PROPOSES PEACE COMPROMISE
Lets Russia Down Easy on Indemnity
by Payment of Money for
Island of SauhaIien,

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 23.-The
Associated Press is now in position
to reveal substantially the suggestion
of President Roosevelt for breaking
the existing deadlock in the peace ne
gotiations and rescuing the conference
from failure.
His solution would ingeniously per-
nit the satisfaction of Japanese de-
mands for reimbursement for the cost
of the war and at the same time en-
able Russia to face the world with the
declaration that she had not ceded a
foot of territory or paid kopeck of
war tribute to the victor.
The solution is the one which has
heretofore been described in the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches as the natural
and logical compromise.
Tersely stated, it consists of an
agreement OF Russia to repurchase
possession of either all OF half the is
land of Saghalien, now in the military
occupation of Japan, for sum, the
amount of which, if the two countries
method of arbitration hereafter to be
determined.
The purchase money, together with
the sum Japan would obtain from the
cession of the Chinese Eastern rail-
road and the maintenance of the Rus
sian prisoners in Japan, would, it is
estimated about equal the amount
claimed by Japan as her bill for the
cost of the war.
Possible, therefore, the solution Of
fered by the President involves reces-
sion by Japan upon article five (the
cession of Saghalien) and the reces-
sion By Russia upon article lin
demnity).
1t seems practically certain, though
this cannot be affirmed positively, that
the President to-day was able to give
M. Witte substantial assurance that
Japan would be willing to accept such
compromise.
This is apparently supported by the
authoritative Japanese statement
>made to the Associated Press last
night in reply to a question whether
Japan had or had not decided on SUBJ
stantial concessions

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS.
Search for Lost Iron Mine.


Ihe start of systematic search for
lost iron mine of great value by the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company was
announced to-day by Judge w. G.
Hines, says Trinidad correspondent.
The mine is located at some point in
Longs canon, which was one of the
earliest settlements known in this part
of the state. The Mexicans still living
in this canon are as primitive in their
methods as they were in the early his
, tory of the country. There Is small
church in the canon and every Good
Friday the penitents for miles around
meet there and hold their strange SER
vice
The story of the lost mine was first
told to Judge Hines about two years
ago. when he was in blacksmith shop
in this city, where Mexican was sell
ing wagonload of iron which had
been smelted in crude manner.
Judge Hines became Interested and
upon questioning the Mexican learned
that he had discovered it at some
point in Longs canon and claimed that
there was still a great quantity of ore
in that place.
A few days later Judge Hines ac-.
companied the Mexican to Longs
canon and his story proved to be cor
rect Upon searching, Mr.. Hines dis
covered evidences of a crude smelter,
probably built by the Spaniards in the
early days. Judge Hines is of the
opinion that the Spaniards built this
smelter for the purpose of treating sill
yer ore and it is his belief that at one
time rich silver mine was worked in
this canon. The smelter evidently
was not built on the site Of the mine,
but is near the center of the canon,
where there is plenty of water.
Judge Hines notified the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, which owns
the ground, of his discovery, since
which time searching parties have
made an effort to locate the mine, but
their efforts, so far, have proven fu-
tile. 1t is quite likely, as Judge Hines
says. that, in the early days, the Span
iards had silver mine in the canon
and used the smelter for the purpose
of smelling the silver, throwing the
iron ore away without knowing or ap.
preciating its value. There undoubt-
edly is a rich iron mine at some point
in this canon. which would be of great
value to the fuel company.
