THE STATE OF SEOUOIA.
The Name of the Originator or Tie

to be honored.

The decision OF the convention
which recently met at Muskogee, IN
dian Territory, upon name for the
new state to be added to the Union
brings total Of thirty-three states
which have adopted Indian titles Tor
state names. The convention, a1ter
some little discussion, decided that
the new state should be known as Sc
uuoia, as a tribute to the great
Cherokee leader, and Is a httlne
honor which America owes TO one OF
the really great red men Of this conu.
pent, The Cherokee Indian aiphaDet
was originated by George Gist, naiI-
breed known to the tribe as Sequola'
He was statesman and peaceaoie
leader among the tribe. He was an
illiterate man but the idea OF an
alphabet for the Cherokee tribe was
conceived from the brands he saw on
cattle. He carved eighty-six charac-
ters with his hunting knife out OF pine
bark. then he called the wise men 10
gether, and explained the characters:

renee. He had heard them just four
hours after the actual explosion, for
this is the time the sound occupied on
its journey.
If Vesuvius were vigorous enough to
emit a roar like Krakatoa. how great
would be the CONSERVATION of the
world. Such a report might be heard
by King Edward, at Windsor, and by
the Gar, at Moscow. 1t would aston
ish the German Emperor and all his
subjects. 1t would penetrate to the Sc
cluslon of the Sultan at Constantine
pie. 1t would have extended to the
sources of the Nile, near the equator.
1t would have been heard by Moham-
mcdan pilgrims at Mecca. 1t would
have reached the ears of eXiles in ST.
IBERIA. No inhabitants of Persia would
have been beyond its range, while pas
sengers on half the liners crossing the
Atlantic would also catch the mighty
revcrberation. Or, to take another
Illustration let us suppose that sim
liar earth-shaking event took place in
central position in the United States.
Let us say. for example, that an eXplo-
sion occurred at Pixies Peak as
resonant as that from krakatoa. IL
would certainly startle not a little the
inhabitants of Colorado far and VIDE.
The ears of dwellers in the neighbor-
ing States would receive consider
able shock. With lessening intensity
the sound would spread much farther
around-indeed, it might be heard all
| over the United States. The sonorous
waves would roll over to the Atlantic
coast; they would be heard on the
shores of the Pacific Florida would
not be too far to the south, nor Alaska
too remote to the north. If, indeed
we could believe that the sound would
travel as freely over the great CONT
nent as it did across the Indian Ocean
then we may boldly assert that ever!
ear in North America might listen tt
the thunder from Pixies Peak, II 4

Krakatoa made the greatest noise tina

WAS WITH THE VANGUARD.

In the Franco-Prussian war Miss
Barton was the first person to enter
Strasburg after the fall of that city,
and was instrumental in organizing
the relief. She performed a similar
service at Paris, which she entered with
the vanguard at the conclusion of the
siege After her return to the United
States she directed relief work in addi-
ton to the instances above mentioned
during the Mississippi food of 1882, the
overflow of the Ohio River in 1883, the
Louisiana cyclone of the same year,
and the Texas drought Of 1889, ever at
the fore aiding, sustaining, and sup
porting by her untiring presence the
failing courage of those who in their
suffering learned to depend upon her
with passionate love and gratitude.

SUICIDE ATTEMPT FAILED WILL GUARD ITS EVIDENCE
Murderer Tries to Anticipate
the Law but Fails, and Is
Duly Hanged by Neck,

Santa Fe, n. NJ, Feb. 26.-John Con-
ley, a miner and prospector who, on
Jan. Is, 1904, killed James Redding and
Charles Purdy at the Guadalupe
pIaoers, was hanged today at Taosa
a few hours after being found in his
cell with his throat cut. The wound
did not sever the artery and was
quickly bandaged up. He did it with
pocket knife. Limp ConIey was
dragged to the gallows and slipped
through the trap, death resulting from
strangulation- COnley had been con-
victed by a jury, eleven members of
which spoke only Spanish and the trial
was conducted with the aid of an in
tcrLreter. An appeal was granted to
the New Mexico supreme court, but as
Ccnley, not having the money to pay
for a transcript, the evidence was not
reviewed and Governor Hagerman re-
fused TO grant a repTieve of thirty days
in which the case would have been re-
opened. ConIey claimed that he killed
the two men in gelf-defenSe. In a let
ter found in his cell he cursed his enc
mics and declared that he was inno-
cent
ConIey was born at Albany N Y
He served in the civil war as a Penn

five years in the regular army in In

YOUNG GARFIELD
TELLS HIS STORY
Packers Have Cause for Complaints
They Make Regarding Commits
)ner of Corporations.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-COmmissioner Gar
field occupied the stand all day in the
packers case, and his cross-exa nina
ton was finished a few minutes before
the final adjournment of court. He de-
clared while on the stand today that he
had turned over to the department Of
justice the names of several hundred
witnesses at the direct order of the
president. He said, however, that none
Of the information give ntO the depart
ment of Justice was that received from
the packers. He stated positively that
there was no interchange of agents be-
tween his department and the attorney
general and that all the information he
secured from the packers he used for
the writing of his report and not for
the purpose of aiding the department of
justice to prosecute the packers.

GARFIELD's TESTIMONY.
Commissioner Not Good Witness for
the Government.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Commissioner of
Corporations Garfield resumed the
stand in the packers case today, and
the cross-examination was resumed.
The witness said that in September.
1904 he talked with Attorney General
Moody regarding the case, and also
with II. NJ. Hoyt, solicitor general of
the department of justice, who acts for
Moody in his absence.
The solicitor general made two re-
quests for information which Mr.. Car
field had secured, and both were re-
fused.
when next were you requested?''
When I was directed by the presi-
dent to turn over information concern
ing persons who knew of alleged vio-
lations of law"
Did you tell the president that you
told the packers that there was no CO.
operation between the department of
justice and your Department."
II had stated that to him a number
Of times"
did you turn over any list of wit
nesses to the department Of justice?'
ct turned over to Mr.. Bethea, at that
time district attorney in Chicago, about
700 names OF persons who said that
they knew Of violations of the law"
Did any of your agents report to
the department Of justice or to District
Attorney MOrrison?"
LAS far as know I should say not"
Have you now here the information
got from the packers which was
turned over to the attorney general?'
None of that information was OBJ
tanned from the packers"
Did some of the information turned
over contain conversations with the
packers?"
Some of it.
when you were asked by Mr.. Bea-
thea for information, did you refuse? ?"
Il refused portions of his request"
What portions?"
"He asked II my agents here in Chi
cago could report to him, and I told
him definitely that they could not as
our departments were separate"
Did you tell the president that you
had told the packers that the two de-
partments were not operating togeth-
er?'
"I did not, because II was perfectly
understood that they were separate"
Mr.. Hines asked that the court order
that the latter part of the answer be
stricken out and 1t was so ordered, de-
spite the objection of the district at
torney,
