time by sleeping or frightened guests
from abroad who could noe possibly
have given any offense to the assail-
ants. He writes that the chief of the
Brownsville police is again on duty
from hospital, and carries an empty
sleeve because he was shot by federal
soldiers from the adjacent garrison in
the course Of their murderous foray;
and not faraway is the fresh grave Of
an unoffending citizen of the place, a
boy in years, who was wantonly shot
down by these United States soldiers
while unarmed and attempting to es-
cape.
The effort to confute this testimony
so far has consisted in the assertion or
implication that the townspeople shot
one another in order to discredit the
soldiers-an absurdity too gross to need
discussion, and unsupported by shred
Of evidence. There is no question as
to the murder and the attempted
murders; there is no question that
some Of the soldiers were guilty there
of; there is no question that many Of
their comrades privy to the deed have
combined Eto shelter the criminals
from justice. These comrades Of the
mnrderers, by their own action, have
rendered it necessary either TO leave
all the men, including the murderers,
in the Army, or to turn them all out;
and under such circumstances there
was no alternative, for the usefulness
of the Army would be- at an end we're
we to permit such an outrage to be
committed with impunity.
People have spoken as If this dis
charge from the service was a punish
ment. deny emphatically that such
is the case, because as punishment it
is utterly inadequate. The punish
ment meet for mutineers and murder
ers such as those guilty Of the Browns
vile assault is death; and punish
ment only less severe ought to be
meted out to those who have aided md
abetted mutiny and murder and
treason by refusing to help in their
detection. l would that it were pos
sible for me to have punished the
guilty men. regret most keenly
that have not been able to do so.
Be it remembered always that these
men were all in the service Of the
United States under contracts Of en-
listment, which by their terms and by
statute we're terminable by my direc-
tion as Commander in Chief Of the
Army. 1t was my clear duty to ter
inmate those contracts when the pub
lie interest demanded it; and it would
have been a betrayal Of the public in.

There was general rejoicing in VI
nita today over the boundaries Of the
new county as reported in the consti-
tutional convention in Guthrie last
night by the boundaries committee.
The tirst news of the actionIof the COM
mittee was, Of course, given to the
people of the town by The Chieftain,
which received message from its
special correspondent early this morn
ing.
Vinita is to be the county seat Of
Craig county. On the west and south
the boundary will be the same as the
boundary Of the present recording
district, except that the Chelsea town
ship, in the extreme southwest, is de-
tached and attacted to Cooweescoosee
county, of which Claremore is to be
the county seat. The east boundary
Of the county will be the township
line just west Of Alton, and about
nine miles east of Vinlta. The north
ern boundary will, OF course, be the
Kansas line.
Included in Craig county, then, will
be the towns OF Centralia, Welch,
Big Cabin, White Oak,
Abba and Vinita. The county will
have an area Of about 775 square miles
and will be one Of the richest
in the new state. Its popula-
zion will not be far from 10000. 1t
will be one Of the cheapest counties

pairing to take. the initiative. that 1t

support Of Great Britain.
Can See british Policy.
Diplomats familiar with the situa-
ton assert that they see in today's
cable dispatches disclosure Of Brit
ish policy. The British possessions
in Africa are separated by the Congo
Free state and German East Africa
The British government realizes the
Importance OF bringing these widely
separated possessions into touch.
It is impossible for Great Britain
to cross German East Africa without
provoking war. The only avenue
open is through the Congo Free
State. For wears the British gov
eminent has been impressed with
the necessity OF the Cape to Cairo
railroad Much work upon it has al
ready been accomplished. It seems
to the diplomats that the opportune
moment has arrived when Great
Britain will subordinate humaniwifo
commercialism and I'M return frayn
King Leopold of concessions OF, a
right Of way through the Congo Frse
State for the Cape to Cairo railroad,
the British government wilh.not Join
in promoting copferenca of the
powers, nor give its suppq to any
movement Initiated in tis% United
States or elsewhere looking a con-
ference of the powers to ID contrOi
of the Congo situation.
Delay in Resolution,
Fear is expressed by members of
the Como Reform association and
others active in trying q prevent
further atrocities in the C&igo state
that when the resolution introduced
by Senator Lodge is passed giving
the president theisupport of the SEN
ate in any ,effoHs he may make to
bring about better condition of
affairs in Central Africa, Great Brit
ain will have lost all interest.
The committee on foreign rela-
tons of the senate today had the
resolution under consideration, but
no definite action was taken. 1t is
the opinion of majority OF the COM
mittee that the senate will adopt the
resolution. The objection of some
senator's. developed today during the
consideration of the Moroccan treaty
to the United States meddling in
European affairs. will probably not
be raised to the resolution, because
the purpose is purely humanitarian
and not political.
There is some hope that whatever
the movement may lose through in

cessions for its Cape to Cairo rail-
road. will be Offset by an awakening

Germany has much to lose politi-

GERMANY CANNOT ASSIST HER

Washington. Dec. 14.-Keen in
|terest is being shown in diplomatic
|circles oyer the cable advices that
the British. government is negotiat-
ing for slice of the Congo Free
State. Those behind the agitation
for an investigation of conditions In
Central Africa and for correction in
the abuses in the Congo Free State
have expected the British govern
ment to heartily cooperate with any
movement set afoot by the United
States looking to conference of the
great powers.
Germany has fatty refused to in
terfere with the plans of King Leo
pold. No where has as much indig-
nation been aroused as in England
by the atrocities practiced upon the
natives Of the Congo Valley. 1t ap-
pears, however. that while senti-
ment is being aroused in the United
States, and this government is pre-
pairing to take. the initiative. that 1t
is to be denied the active or moral
