INDIANS MAY SPEND CASH.
President Roosevelt Sees No Occasion

President Roosevelt Sees No Occasion
for AntischooI Hubbub.
President Roosevelt has sent let
ter to Secretary Hitchcock on the SUBJ
ject of authority for granting contracts
for the education of Indians in denom-
national schools.
The president says that inasmuch as
the legal authority exists to grant the
request of Indians unquestionably they
are entitled by moral right to have
their moneys used to educate their
children at the schools they choose.
The president directs that the interior
department continue the practice I'M
less congress directs otherwise or the
courts hold that the decision of the de-
partment of justice to this effect is
wrong. The president also urges the
passage of the Lacey bill authorizing
the allotment of annuities in severalty
to the Indians in the same way as
their land is allotted.

ENGINE BOILER BLOWS UP,
Throws Passenger Cars off of the
Track.

Track.
Utica, n. 1.-TWO trainmen lost
their lives and score or more of pas
sengers were injured in a wreck on
the New York Central railroad at
Whitesboro, three miles west of here.
None of the injured was dangerously
hurt, their wounds being mainly cuts
and bruises
The dead are: John Allen, engineer;
John Brennan, fireman of the locomo-
tive on the Western Express.
AS the train was passing the Buffalo
special eastbound, the boiler of the To-
connective of the westbound train ex-
ploded. The force of the explosion
and the upheayal of the engine threw
the entire Is cars composing the
special from the rails. The west
bound train did not leave the track,
but stopped with a suddenness and
shock which threw the occupants of
the berths backward with great force.
The strangest feature of the acci,
dent, as it appeared to an onlooker,
was that the boiler of the westbound
locomotive was resting midway be-
tween the rails Of the eastbound track
at point where the eastern train
had passed. This suggested the theory
to trainmen that the boiler had struck
the second car of the eastbound train
as it rushed by at the rate of so miles
an hour.

THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Battle of Hun River Was a FierceIy
FOUGHT One

Last week witnessed the close Of
what will probably be known as the
battle of the Hun river. The Russians
had shown activity all along the line,
but the most aggressive work was
done against the Japanese left wing
Oku's defenses were heavily lombard
ed for several days and there were con-
slant clashes between advanced bodies
of troops that were attempting to Sc
cure strong positions. The Japanese
finally took the aggressive and the re-
suit has practically been a failure of
Kuropatkin to gain single advantage
by his winter movement.
The fighting has been fierce and un-
der the worst conditions possible A
low temperature and binding snow
storms have subjected both sides to
great suffering and such misery of war
has probably not been endured since
some of the Napoleonic campaigns.
Wounds of every sort have been agon-
izing and the impossibility of giving
quick relief in the freezing atmosphere
has resulted in large mortality.
Despite the adverse conditions, the
activity has continued in a desultory
way all through the week. The Rus
slams have been driven to the right
bank of the Hun, and while the jap
anese may not feel like following up
any advantage they have gained, the
moral effect of this Kuropatkin fail
ure has been bad. 1t has shown that
h0 I'D ;tu IN,
ter campaigning is as much myth
as many other things have been shown
to be, and the news of the failure
comes to European Russia at the most
inopportune time.
