1lthrie, Okla, Dec. 18-The COM

II finishes speaking this afternoon.
The report is for thirty nine Indian

Klahoma. Woods, Woodward, Beaver
Heer, Kiowa, and Comanche, being
kided.
Initiative and referendum on the
tegon plan was reported this morn
bg by the committee and made
peciai order for tomorrow after
koon. The convention excused mem
bers to attend bar association meet
Rt 1Oklahoma City tomorrow night,
President Murray taking the floor to
oppose acceptance.
Possibly today some time the map
bf the Haskell Murray slate-makers
will be presented to the convention.
What will happen then no man know
kth. Neither does anyone, outside the
two chief bosses, know exactly what
the map will be like. 1t is pretty GER
tain, however, that no Oklahoma
county save Beaver will be divided,
And in Beaver sentiment is unanimous
Ia favor Of the change.
The slate-makers have been having
their troubles. The opposition to their
program grew SO menacing in Oklaho-
|na that they have finally had to COM
promise with the delegates from that
section, and no changes whatever,
yasa in Beaver county, will be proyid-

Government has already directed that
suit be brought to test the constitu-
tionality Of the act In question; but
my very earnest hope is that such suit
will not be necessary and that as a
matter Of comfy the citizens of San
Francisco will refuse to deprive these
young Japanese children Of education
and will permit them TO go to the
schools.
The question as 10 the violence
against the japanese is most admi-
rably put by Secretary Metcalf, and I
have nothing TO add to his statement.
/ am entirely confident that, as Secre-
tary Metcalf says, the overwhelming
sentiment Of the State OF California
is for law and order and for the pro-
lection Of Japanese la their person
and property. Both the chief Of
police and the acting mayor Of San
Francisco assured Secretary Metcalf
that everything possible would be
done to protect the Japanese Ia the
city | authorized and directed Secre-
tary Metcalf to state that il there
was failure to protect persons and
property, then the entire power OF
yhe Federal Government within the
Constitution would be used promptly
aud vigorously to enforce the obser-
.s@;ics Of our treaty, to the supreme
law Of the land, which treaty guaran-
teed to Japanese residents everywhere

MEXICO BAGGAGE CHECKS.
System Similar TO That OF This Country
Has Been Adopted.

The Mexican Herald, published
in the City of Mexico, says:
Under the terms of a new ruling
made by the Government the rail
road companies of Mexico have
devised a new form of baggage
check which is somewhat of a
departure from the kind formerly
used and IS similar to the one now
used in the United States. AS
soon as arrangements can be made
the check will be used on all of the
railroads in the Republic.
Under the terms of the ruling
the company must state its liability
on the back of the baggage check
given to the person checking the
baggage. 1t is required that the
company refund $500 for a large
trunk, 500 for a small trunk, SIS
ior a hand grip and S. for a hat
box that in being sent to its des-
tination is lost. These figures
must be plainly printed upon the
back of the check.
The excess baggage coupons
must also have the charges display
ed plainly on the back. The gen
eral rate for excess baggage in the
Republic is 12c per kilometep for
1000 kiss. The check will be
made of cardboard and the baggage
agent will I'll i'll the destination of
the passengers baggage.
The new ruling does not apply
to goods or baggage destroyed III
transmission, but only to that
which is lost. ="
\ kilometer is FIVE eighths OF
mile.

GUAYALE CRAZY.
Development of Mexico Rubber lndustr,
Has Caused Land Values TO JUmb
Skyhigh.

Laredo, Tex, June Wonder
full results are being developed in
portions of Mexico since the recent
discovery that the very best article
Of rubber could be made from
guayale weed, which crowns so
bountiful in the arid regions OF
many section Of that country.
The Continental Rubber Com
pany has been capitalized at Sal
tillo, in the State of Coahuila, for
$50, 600, 900, and is already run
ming its immense plant to convert
this guavale weed into commercial
rubber.
Eighty dollars a ION is being
offered for the plant, and the value
of the land upon which it is grow
ing wild has increased in a very
short time over three and half
million dollars.
In other words, where they are
in reach of the big factory they
nave increased ten times in value.
A large hacienda on which a large
amont of guayule weed grows sold
three yeass ago for 500, 900; the
present owner now refused all offer
of 81, 900, 900 for it. To use an
expression OF visitors from Saltillo,
the people in that section of Mexico
have gone guayule crazy.

Diamonds That Are Lost.


At what figure can we estimate the
diamonds that get lost One can only
reply approximately. Although 70 seems
enormous. IL appears that one can place
mt l5 per cent. the diamonds that no
longer belong TO anybody.
First OF all. what do we mean by lost
diamonds? When stone goes astrny
II generally occurs that. " the owner
does not find II again. II has fallen Into
other hands. IL IL not lost 20 commerce.
II ~ not thus. however. when a dia-
mond. badly set. for example. falls TO
the ground. At least unless Il be 81
size sufficiently important To attract
attention one must see there IL little
chance OF II being saved.
In the city II goes directly into the
gutter and thence To- the sewer. In the
country, on the main road. "a becomes
covered up 10y the pebbles and earth
that are stirred up By vehicles and
pedestrians. one can Eel sure In this
case the gems are lost To the world and
will never return Ia usefulness.
Hut. one VIII say. We are still far
from the ~ per cent. given as the
actual loss of diamonds. There are,
after all. not such a great number that
get lost and are never found again.
That In true. but u IN necessary To- take
into account numerous other sources of
loss. such as those occurring I'm fires.
shipwrecks. etc. Again. there are per-
sons who express I'm their Wills the for
NAL desire TO be decorated with their
Jewels when lead. This Is customary
In some countries.
All these causes explain easily how
nearly sixth Of the diamonds can
completely disappear.

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Return for the
Ncnr 1900.


The manner In which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers In recent
years has caused many OF our jour
nails and public men to sit up and take
notice. 10 use current phrase. From
every European country and from nj
most every State In the Union large
numbers OF settlers have locked to the
prairie provinces OF Canada. where
free homcstcads and wide opporiuni-
ties are open Ia all who desire TO avail
themselves Of them.
The greatest factor In attracting set
tiers lies In the inherent richness or
soil aud suitability 81 climate for pro-
ducing what Is universally considered
10 he the finest wheat In the world
the NO. | hard" OF Canadian growth
and other cereals that rank IN the very
first class. This year the harvcst re-
turns were: Wheat. 90.0Oo.Cuo bush.
els: oats. 100000 bushels: barley.
100000 bushels: and when II IL con-
sidercd that the entire population OF
the three provinccs-as evidenced by
thu quiqucnnlal census just completed
lis only $4,000. II Is easily seen that
the lure Of tie Canadian West Is Ia It's
agricultural 'poientialties.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction Is
proceeding with such rnpldity that nj
most every district Is within easy reach
OF outside markets. and that good
prices for all lines OF farm products
rule practically from the commence
mcnt ~ agricultural operations. This
Is a factor which did not prevail when
the earlier settlements la the West
were made In Canada and In the Unit
cd states. and has given great inn
pctus to Canadian Western settlement
in recent years.
