the third day Mr.. Webster spoke for
six hours. And during all the pro-

Towards the close OF the trial the
situation became tense. AS the wrongs
inflicted on the Indians were described

which broke out from time to time.

they sat there wondering whether the

suffering and sorrow on his furrowed
brow and cheek, dressed In the full
robec OF an Indian chief, could make
a speech at all.
1T happened that there was a good
interpreter present-the son of Father
Hamilton, well-known missionary.

SPLENDID GRAFTON MADE BY INDIAN CHIEF

Judge Dundys Famous Decision.

Omaha.-The late Carl Schurz is best
remembered In Omaha as the cause OF
the American Indians being admitted
to full citizenship In this country-not
through his taking the side of the red
men In the long struggle, but because
he, as secretary OF the interior, issued
an order which SO aroused the west to
sade was started In Omaha which
reached to all portions of the United
States, lasted seven years, and ended
by supreme court decisions and legisla-
tive enactments making the Indian as
free as white man II he choose to be
so, and to accept the conditions OF
civilization.
Schurz had the order issued to Gen.
Crook, then stationed at Omaha and
commanding this department OF the
army, and Immediately the cause OF
the Indian was taken up by Thomas
H. Tibbles, late vice presidential can
didate on the populist ticket; Gen.
Crook, John L. Webster, Judge Dundy

the west.
Previous to the fight spoken OF here

COAL WAR ENDS,
MITCHELL LOSES,
Miners to Work Three Years More
Continuing the 1908 Award.

New York, May 10.-After three
months of dickering and the loss of
many millions of dollars on both
sides, the trouble between the an
thracite coal operators and miners
was officially ended and a strike
averted. John Mitchell and his men
failed to get any one of the points
fer which they have been contend
ing. They are to continue work for
another three years under the terms
of the award made by the Anthracite
Strike Commission at the close of
the big strike three years ago.
In the bituminous regions trou-
be is still possible. Many Western
soft coal operators have already
agreed to restore the five and a half
cents a ton increase of three years
ago, and their men have gone to
work, but in other localities disputes
are still unsettled. In the Clearfield
district, which supplies New York
and most of the New England mar
kets with soft coal, a strike is on
now. The operators there offered the
increase in wages, but the men are
standing out for other demands. 1t
is probable, however, the local diff
cuties will soon be adjusted.

NEW YORKER AMAZED POPE.
Wealthy American Seeks to Marry
Pontiff's Sixty Year Old Sister.

oHthi = oiAty ACdT OIu olStCTs
Rome, May 10.-Maria Sarto, the
younger of the Pope's two unmarried
sisters, who is very near sixty years
old, has just received an offer of
marriage, which, as in the case of a
relative of reigning sovereign, was
made direct to the Pope himself.
Piux X. and the Cardinal Secre-
tary of State were at first inclined to
consider the proposal as a joke, but
a closer examination of the love mis-
sive showed that it contained so
many particulars and gave such good
references concerning the writer that
it was not possible to doubt the lat
ter's sincerity and the religious
source of his motives.
Later in the day the Pope's two
sisters, Rosa and Maria, paid the
Pope their customary tri-weekly Wis
it, and when they were informed of
the letter they were much aston
isned. Maria was even more sur
prised than her sister and told the
Pope she would never marry not
even an American millionaire, be-
cause she preferred the simple life
she was leading near her beloved
and exalted brother to all the lux
uries of the world.

Passing of

Chinatown

~AN FRANCISCO'S Chinatown
- was long both a magnet for
tourists and plague spot in
the community. The fire follow
ing the earthquake swept it completely
Dut of existence, and in the opinion of
many people its destruction was a
blessing in disguise. 1t was head
quarters for vice and crime, the depths
of which the officials of San Francisco
We're never able fully to sound. In the
new San Francisco care will be taken
TO prevent the vices of the orient from
taking root so deeply as they did in the
cid. How deep underground the Chi
ncSe of San Francisco went in their
efforts TO evade inspection of their
ways of living white men never knew,
but the fire has revealed the strange
and awesome facts. The conflagro ton
made a complete job of it in China
town. Not Il single painted wooden
fabric was left The flames ate down
to bare ground. and joss houses, gam
bling dens, opium joints and theaters
all went up like so much tissue paper.
Hundreds of craZed yellow men fled
from the scene, bearing in their arms
opium pipes, money bags, ebony furni-
ture, silk hangings, clothing and such
other articles as they cou! snatch up
in their flight Some who fingered to
save more of their property were drlv-
en- out by soldiers when the flames
pressed close upon the colony, but even
the soldiers could not enter the holes
in the ground where slave women who
had lived for years without ever seeing
the light of day were confined and
where the victims of opium lay in
stupor which even an earthquake could
not disturb. How many perished in
these underground passages will never
be known. but the fire has unmasked
the secrets of the hidden city and laid
bare tIHnelS leading down fifty, sixty,
perhaps hundred feet into the ground.
The Chinese colony of San Francisco
is supposed to have numbered about
10000. The Chinese quarter WAS near
the old city hall and was full of wind

sorts and curious places of entertain

"Buttermilk Trout" New Delight.

West Paris, Me, May 10.-Butter-
milk trout" is new alike to scientists
and to sportsmen except in West
Paris. Here it is a delicacy, as much
a delight to the epicure as to the fish
erman, for it is not only fuller
fleshed than the ordinary brook
trout, but even more gamy, and to
catch string of "buttermilk trout"
is considered better sport about here
than to get ones limit of landlocked
salmon from the big lakes.
1t was only by accident that this
brand of trout was developed, and it
would keep their characteristics, for
the change has been brought through
the diet of buttermilk which is emp
tied from the butter factory into the
brook. The fish thrive wonderfully
on it.
