VIII Not Interfere.
Even Il urged to join in any move
snent for international intervention, the
nited States Government would not
consent, not only on account OF its pol
icy to avoid foreign alliances, but for
the more immediate reason that II con-
sistently adheres to the principle OF
non-interference between two belligeF-
ept nations With xflieh. II maintains
friendly relations, unless invited By

No such invitation has been extended,
On the contrary, Russia has made IL
known to all the powers. including tha
United States, that any attempt on the.=
part to end the war. by tender of their
good offices or otherwise, would be re-
garded by the Russi2n government as
an unfriendly act.

Warsaw Strike Leaders
Guard Against Disorder

WARSAW. Feb. 1.-The strike leaders
are taking a most moderate course in
conducting the strike and are doing
everything possible to prevent outbreaks
of disorder.
They have divided the city of War
saw into seven zones, each of which is
commanded by a member of the strike
committee.
The purpose of this is to have a man
in authority in the chief centers of the
city who has a strong influence over
the actions of the workE2en.
Last night the employees of the gas
works here and at LodZ expressed a
desire 20 join the strikers.
The strike leaders, however, dissuaded
them from doing so as they feared
looting would ensue if there was no
illumina tion DURING the nlghl.

In letter which he sent to Secre-
ttiaS Hitchcock, of the Interior De-
partment, today President Roosevelt
deals clearly with the question of the
use of money belonging to Indians by
the different sectarian schools.
The President strongly advocates the
passage of the Lacey bill, now pending
before Congress. and the distribution
of the money belonging to Indian tribes
tG individual Indians of those tribes.
This is the policy advanced by Francis
Z. IeupP, Commissioner of Indian At
fairs. whose view is that the best man
ner in Which to develop the Indians is
TO give to each as much responsibility
as practicable, and to impress upon him
The necessity OF Intelligent and careful
management of his own affairs instead
Of having him shift the responsibility

Text of the Letter.
The Presidents letter is as follows:
White House, Feb. 3.
TO the Secretary of the Interior:
Il have received from you the letter
of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
OF January 81, in relation to the in
quiries of the Hon. James S, Sherman
as to the authority for granting con-
tracts for education OF Indians in de-
uominational schools.
Indian Affairs asks that the general
questions raised in Mr.. Sherrnan's let
ter of January % be united with the
special question raised by the Comn1is-
sioner in his letter OF January u. and
presented TO the President for oubmi5-

LAS regards the general question I

under date of February ,, letter copy
; Of which is inc osed. Early in 1902 petit

attention by certain eccIesiastics and

partment 10 distribute the rations and
altnuities through the mission schools Of

and conscience, although essential ends
for a life of culture. do not touch the
central problem, which is the nationaIi-
cation and communism Of land.
From neither the workingnan nor in
teIIcctuals OF Russia or other countries
do we hear anything of this crying need
of the people Despite the apparent
freedom Of so-calied cultured countries.
and despite their parliaments and their
legislative assemblies, they do not allow
this aII-prcssinS need TO be satisfied.
FGurth-there exists IN other countries
d so-calied free and independent press,
but its freedom is only apparent; for
the whole press Is controlled by wealthy
persons who admit no advancement OF
the people.

We have only to observe the fate of
Henry Georges Naturalization scheme
to see the truth of this.
Fifth-The only possibility of a change
of the general policy lies in Esrfecting
the individual morally and religiousiy.
When there is a real respect for others,
lack OF gentleness, hatred. and brute
force all disappear

see that any petition by the Indians is
genuine. and that the money appropri

fulfilled, it IS in my opinion just and

From the above statement &c win be

ton is excluded from the area propos-
ed to be leased.

board inform the commissioner Of Pub

to the Commissioner of Public Lands
that the portion of Nakula mauka
above this section ought to remain in
Government control until such time
as some now unforeseen use for it
arises or until funds are available for
planting IT with forest trees. This lat
