Bureau.

Washington Officials Object to AIIot'
ment Rolls.

IneNL TOIIS.
Washington, Oct. 20.-An allotment
roll received at the Indian bureau has
prompted the commissioner of Indian
affairs to issue hurry up orders to the
officials who are in charge of the work
of introducing appropriate names
among the Indian tribes. This has be-
come necessary in order that inherited
lands and property may be handed
down properly and a record of the
same kept in Washington. .
The allotment roll in question came
from a Northwestern state and the
group of names it contained, accord
Ing to the Officials, was the extreme
limit. Standing Up, Shoot Up, Crook
cd Leg, Runin-the-House, Goes-to-
Camp, Ground Hog and numerous 9TH
ers, absolutely without meaning or
sentiment, were among the names OF
the Indians to whom allotments had
been made for the approval of the
commissioner of Indian affairs and sec.
retary Of the interior.
The agent in charge protested
against the allotment of lands under
such names and the Washington au
thorities agreed with him that the In
dlans should be renamed before the
aIlOtments were approved.

Trouble Along Newfoundland Coast
Settled by Secretary Root.
Washington, Oct. 20.-After a con-
ference between Secretary Root and
Sir Mortimer Durand, the British am
bassador, lasting for an hour and a
half, it was announced that speedy
and satisfactory solution of the
Gloucester Newfoundland fisheries
controversy was in sight.
The facts obtained show that the
Newfoundland inspector of revenue
protection service directed that Amer
ican vessels should not be allowed to
fish under American register on the
ground that they had never done so in
the past. Prior to this time the Amer
lean fishermen had bought bait in New
foundland under fishing license. They
are now prevented by law from bur
ing bait and the authorities have been
unwilling to permit them to catch her.
ring without fishing license.
+ Secretary Root informed the ambas.
sador that an American register is a
ships highest form of nationality and
carries with it not only a license to
trade but also regular fishing license.
AS soon as this fact is made clear to
the Newfoundland authorities it is ex-
pected they will withdraw all objec-
t1ons. Meantime the American fisher.
men, with the approval of the state de-
partment, have been instructed to con
tinue their fishing.

New York, Oct 20.-Concerning the
closing of the Enterprise National
bank of Allegheny and the suicide of
it's cashier, T. Lee Clark, a dispatch to
the Herald from Pittsburg says:
1t was learned late Wednesday night
that the disaster to the Enterprise
bank was expected in certain quarters.
Plans for an exposure of the tramcking
i'll state funds, it is said, were laid
| of this and talked over the matter with
several of the directors a few days ago.
The cashier was told by the direc-
tors he would have to meet the paper
obligations of the institution negotiated
through him and he promised to in
sure the bank against all loans for
which he was responsible. The sup
position is he was unable to accom-
plish this and, fearing the conse-
Quences, took his life.
Although the bank directors only
acknowledge having 100000 of the
state funds the assertion was made by
one of the bank officials that the En-
terprise had more than $1,000,000 state
money on deposit before the extensive
loans were made. According to this
official all this money is insured by
bonds of the Mercantile Trust COM
pany of Pittsburg and the United
