TO CONTINUE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Indian Legislatures Want Transition
to be GradusI.

Muskogee, l. T., Oct. Sit is prob
able that the present school system
under which the schools of Indian
Territory are maintained and man.
aged by combination of tribal and
federal supervision, will be continued
for period of at least two years after
the expiration of tribal governments
on the 18th of next March. All of the
Indian nations, through their legisla-
tive bodies, have asked for such con-
tinuance. with the exception of the
Chickasaws and Seminoles. The
Seminoles have a provision in. their
agreement that their schools are to be
maintained out of tribal funds after
the dissolution OF the tribal govern
ment, under federal supervision. until
some system is put in force through
state government. 1t is, therefore. I'M
necessary for the Seminoles TO take
any action on the school question
The Chickasaw nation. therefore. is
the only Indian government that has
not asked for continuation of the
present school system and it will
probably do so before the adjourn
ment of its last council

is UNFAIR TO CHICAGO.

Chicago, Oct expert testimony
on the subject of freight rates was
given in Judge Bethau's court in the
interstate commerce commission
suit against II western railroads. T.
W. Tomlinson, secretary of the
American Stock Growers Association,
of Denver, traffic agent for the Chi
cago Live Stock Exchange for Is
years, connected with the freight de-
partments of a number of western
roads, was on the witness stand and
was questioned at leng tn by coun-
sci regarding his opinion of the rea-
sonableness of the rates on cattle,
dressed meat and packi nghouse pro-
ducts.
In my opinion the present rates on
live stock from Missouri river points
and southern Minnesota to Chicago
are too high" said he. THE rates
on live stock should be lower than on
dressed meat and packing house pro-
ducts from these points. Even with
equal rates on these commodities, the
live stock interests would be dis
eliminated against The present
schedules are unfair to the South, st.
Paul and Missouri river points"

President OF Mutual insurance Com
pany Received $4,000.
FOR LAST YEARS SERVICE ALONE
A Sensation Was Sprung When the
Pay Roll Revealed the Enormous
Salaries of the Executive Officers in
the Company

New York, Oct. 9.-Closing a week
every day which has produced SEN
sation that has stirred the country,
the special legislative committee in
yestigating the methods of insurance
companies adjourned until Tuesday,
of this week, the sessions 10 be held
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
instead of Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, as heretofore. This change
was made because Friday is registra-
ton day in this state and members
of the committee desired to be pres
ent in their various districts.
When the session opened it was
expected that the president of the
Mutual Life would be called to the
stand before the day was over. BY a
misunderstanding however, President
McCurdy had left the Office of the Mr-
tual Life before he was called for, and
it is expected that he will be the first
witness on Tuesday.
In recent meeting the sensational
development was when Mr.. Hughes
described the pay roll of the executive
officers. This was produced and
showed the salaries of these officers
since 1877. For the year 1904 Presi-
dent McCurdy received S15O,0OO; two
vice-presidents were paid $4,000
each; a second vice-president SIT 800;
the third vice-president $4,000, and
the general manager $4,000, who this
year will receive 100000. and the
treasurer $4,000.
Robert McCurdy said he never knew
the salary of his father until recent
ly, when he heard it read in the COM
mittee room. He thought, however,
that there should be no limit to the
salary of such positions, because they
should be in accordance with the &C
cumulations of the company.
When asked if it was any benefit
to the policy holders to increase the
presidents salary, Mr. McCurdy said
he thought the trustees had consider
ed that when they increased the presi-
dents salary. No increase, he said,
had ever been considered when he
was present at the trustees meet
ings. Earlier in the day, when Mr..
McCurdy was on the stand, Mr..
Hughes tried to bring out why C. H.
Raymond & Co. and the partners in
that firm received larger emoluments
in the business than any other agency.

Court of the City of Chicago against

SHORTEN CUBAN REVENUES.
Object to Ten Year Treaty With
Great Britain.

Havana, Oct. 9.-Following the pub
LEGATION this evening of the text of the
ten year treaty of commerce and navi-
Britain the ratification of which is
now pending in the senate, the Ha-
vana chamber of commerce gave out
for publication the text of the repor;
made to it of the foreign returns com.
mittee of the senate in response to a
treaty ought to be ratified and which
as stated by the Associated Pre-
September 10, declared emphaticaliy
against ratification.
The report of the chamber of com
merce says as Cuba has few mer
ciprocal privileges granted by the
treaty would be wholly in favor of
Great Britain and that the liberties
conceded to British vessels in Cuban
waters would probably have the effect
of seriously shortening the revenues
of Cuba since Cuba had not enough
revenue service ships to watch her
coasts. At the same time Cuba was
not in position to enlarge her mari
time service while the treaty would
be effective in extending encourage
ment to the other contracting party
to enlarge its marine service. Under
such an arrangement the Cuban mar
inc service probably would entirely
disappear.
The report goes on to say that the
liberty of ''pertrecharse" "a Spanish
term meaning the resupplying of YES
sells with munitions of war; granted
by the treaty to British warships
would be likely to involve Cuba in
most unwelcome complications and no
modifying clause for the observance
of the law of international neutrality
in the event of war Cuba would not
be benefited by such a convention
with a free trade nation as treaties
of the kind were beneficial only when
entered into with countries Offering
reciprocal tariff concessions. This.
the report says, is especially true at
this moment when a treaty of naviga-
ton with the United States has been
projected, the intention of which is
the concession of mutual tariff reduc.
lions on products carried in Ameri.
can and Cuban ships.
The chamber, which is composed of
leading Spanish and Cuban merchants,
holds that Cuba should look to the
United States for the securing of mu-
tual tariff favors instead of granting
concessions wholly favorable to the
other contracting power

ALCOHOLIC CANDY.

were somewhat extensively manu-
featured. The excise authorities woke
up to the fact that revenue was being
lost to them, and the practice was
stopped, some other fluid replacing
the alcohol. That the liqueur-choco-
lates will be promptly suppressed for
the same reason is probable AS the
Lancet points out. however, the traf-
fic should be condemned on other and
more important grounds-namely that
1t might readily lead to actual poison
ing in the case of young children, or
to the unconscious formation of an
alcohol habit in older persons.
