Hollow Horn Bears Mistake.

The situation is the outgrowth of Hol-
low Horn Bears faux pas when he went
TO Washington. He was instructed by
Indian Commissioner Leupp to attend
the inaugural as representative of his
tribe, and to report first to Carlisle, Pa,
TO join party of distinguished Indians
,sho would go in body from there to
Washington, under personal conduct of
agents of the department with full au-
thority to keep them from getting full.
But Mr.. Bear. realizing that his ulti-
mate destination was Washington, saw
no sufficient reason for talking a stop
over at Carlisle, where he had heard
that civilization was so dense as to be
catching. So he went straight through
10 Washington. That was the mistake
of Mr. Bears life.
Commissioner Ieupp, learning that
Hollow HON Bear had failed to obey
orders about stopping at Carlisle, re-
fused utterly to receive him. 1t was
the cut direct. Only by intercession OF
mutual missionary friends was Mr.. Bear
able to secure permission to ride in the
inaugural parade. He was denied the
sunshine of the countenance of the
Great Father; even the reflected glory of
the Commissioner satellitious face was
not for him.
Meanwhile David Sypher. a chief who

For weeks the forces have been lining
up for this struggle. and if it should
ever come to the open court, as seems
inevitable, it will involve a picture of

Russia to defeat Admiral Togo and re-
gain the control of the seas, from the
Japanese, has written letters to relatives
here in which he pictures the condition
of his feet in most gloomy words. He
complains that it is impossible for him
to fight with the material at his COM
mand. The lack of discipline, he says,
is appalling. He concludes one letter
in these words: ''These are the men
and the ships with which / am expected
to face the powerful japanese fleet. 1t is
a hopeless enterprise and nothing but a
miracle can save us from humiliation. &"
The government strongly resents the
publication of the letters and has repri-

indiscretion in writing even to his rel
atives.

their ballots. Some Of the present occu-
pants of city and State positions have
opposition, but as no issues are at stake,
it being simply a case where voters VIII
be called upon TO choose between apph'
cants, each of whom is worthy, there IS
no reason why the canvass cannot DE

should have been done, IFS action in re-
gard to suffrage is generally commended.

been eliminated, as has been the traffic
in voting. Heretofore elections have
been fondly anticipated by certain
class as harvest. They had no per
sonal favorites, but the man who could
spend the most money became their tenn
porary champion. A large number OF
this genus have debarred themselves
from suffrage by failing to meet all
the constitutional requirements, and
heeers, ticketholders, buttonholders,
whisky distributors and political way
LAYERS find themselves out of job and
are spectators at the quiet elections OF the
present day. Scenes around boothes SC

Sentenced TO the Penitentiary.

A. B. Spear, cashier OF the closed Git
liens Bank of Oberlin, Ohio, yesterday,
in the United States District Court, en-.
tered plea ofguilty to one count of the
Indictment charging him with making
false entries in the banks books and
was sentenced to seven years in the pen
itentiary. District Attorney Sullivan
recommended that all other indictments
agasnst Spear, containing Is counts be
nolled. The maximum penalty would
have been ten years. 1t is believed
by the government authorities, at
Cleveland, Ohio, that the pleading guilty
by Spear will have tendency To
weaken any defense which Mrs. Chad
wick can make in case she is granted a
new trial by the United States Circuit
Court ofAppeals. She is charged jointly
no the same indictment with conspiring
with Spear to make false entries in the
banks books.
When Mrs. Chadwick was told about
Spears sentence she displayed little
emotion and contented herself with re-
marking, "The poor man. | do not see
what else he could have done. He got
himself into trouble, but it was through
no fault of mine"
The began to cry little when re-
minded that she was charged with con=
spiracy on the same count to which
Spear pleaded guilty. She protested
tearfully that she was guilty of no con-
spiracy and innocent ofany wrongdOing.

BARON DE CONSTANT has made some
remarks on naval armament that are per
tinent outside OF his own country. He
insists that instead of being defended,
France is being ruined by naval expend-
itures. The country has been CON-
mitted to a naval programme that will
cost nearly $500, 600, 600 in the next
twelve years. Neither his own country
nor Germany nor even England could
stand the present scale of naval expendi-
ture. The Minister of Marine made the
inevitable response that so long as Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States were increasing their, fleets France
could not stop. The naval expenditures
of this country are not only far beyond
their real needs, but every European
country cites them as reason why it
must press forward in the cause of naval
expansion.
