VIEWS OF G. A. MANSFIELD
ON THE REMOVAL OF RFs-RIC
TloNs ON INDIAN LANDS.
Would Remove Restrictions on Lands
Of All Mixed Bloods and on the
Surplus Allotm 1nts Of Full
Bloods Under Direction.

George A. Mansfield OF the firm
Of Mansfield McMuriay a. Cornish.
attorneys for the Chickasaw- and
Choctaw tribes. with headquarters at
South McAlester. believes in the re-.
moval of restrictions on the lands of
mixed bloods and on the surplus al.
lotmorts Of fun bloods with the re-
moyal Of restrictions on the home.
sieads Of the full bloods later on. Mr..
Mansfield gave expression to his
views as follows when seen Friday
night al the Hotel Whittington
Mr. Mansfield said: The proper
thing In regard to the removal of res.
trictions is this. that all restrictions
should be removed on the sale of
lands Of persons Of other than I've
fun bloods who are members of the
tribes. and the fun bloods should be
permitted TO dispose Of their surplus
lands under the direction OF the de.
partmcnt for adequate cp-sidera'ion.
but do not believe that II would be
advisable to take any farther steps
in that direction at the present time.
nor do | believe that any great need
for the removal Of restrictions eX.
ists owing 10 the fact that full bloods
constitute such small per cehtage
of the population II such need should
become pressing. 1t is a
can be dealt with at any time"
Mr. Mansfield was asked TO cx'
press his views on the adyisability
Of selling the segregated mineral
lands to the state as a permanent
school fund, but for various reasons,
and mainly on account Of the fact
that he was legal representatives Of
the Indian tribes, refrainod from eX-
pressing himself

Time EXTENDED.
Ten Days for the the Dipping Of Cat
tie, one Time for Shipment
Above tho Line.

Owing to the fact t'at the past
spring has been an exceptional one
in so far as the weather is concerned
and that when the weather should
have been along abou. summer heat.
we were having December blasts. the
chief Of the bureau of animal Industry
at Washington. \. u. Melvin. has no.
tified the various general live stock
officials that the period Of shipping
cattle from points I'm Texas and In.
diar Territory below the quarantine
points To pasturage above the line
with but one dipping. has been exten.
ded from May Is to May 25. a period
Of ten days. After that date two dip.
pings will be required as hereto
fore.
When cattle are dipped twice cat.
tie are held at the watts Cor two or
three days between the two dippinps
for inspection to see If all the ticks
have been killed.
The cost Of dipping cattle is Is
cents per head for each time. and the
fact that the time has been extended
for ten days within which cattle will
only be dipped one time means a
considerable saving to the stockmcn
of this section Of the country. Anoth.
er matter to be considered in this
regard is that the danger of the loss
of cattle from dipping is lessened.
frequently numbers of cattle dying
after having been dipped the second
time.

GOVERNMENT BUYS ITS
FIRST MILITARY AIRSHlP'
Will Be Built in St. Louis and viii
Cost $40, ooo-Follows Example of
France. Germany and England.

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-The first military
airship of the United States is to be built
near St. Louis by ]. c. Mars of the Ameri-
can Airship and Balloon Company OF New
York, on a site which Is now being chosen.
The ship was recently contracted for by
the Government through General Allen OF
the War Department.
In buying an airship for military pur-
poses the United States Government has
followed the example of France, Germany
and England, all of whom have paid great
attention to the development Of the rudi-
ments of an airship' arm of their national
defenses during the past summer. France
has four such airships, Germany three and
England one. !,
The American flyer is to be constructed
after an American model. the small craft
of Beachy, which figured In the recent con-
test for d%irigibles at st. Louis. The COST
to. the Government will be $4,000. Tine
airshlp is to be of the usual type-an elon-
gated gas bag floating an under frame with
a motor and screw propeller. 1t Is to carry
two men, a 50-horsepower motor and a
light rifle mounted to the frame. Inc
speed called for is twenty-five miles an
hour
What will be the duration of the SHIPS
fight has not been stated, nor what It's
gas capacity and lifting power. The cost
of the craft will be comparatively small
for a Government ship. Its use will largely
be for tests to determine the usefulness
and the lines of design Of possible future
airships to be built for the Government.

OPENING STOCK PRICES
SHOW STRENGTH.
Election Holiday Evidently Gave the
Speculative Community Opportunity
to Take Sober Second Thought.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Prices of stocks
moved upwards for the most part from
the Monday level, the Hill stocks and

spicuous strength. There was a sprinklins
of small losses, Great Northern preferred

Atchison sold Mt fractional declines.
II a m-Stocks were bought heavily
and the market became broad and
buoyant In tone. The urgent demand that
arose for Pennsylvania, Union Pacific and
other stocks indicated large buying by the
short interests. Illinois Central moved up

Realizing sales forced some of these stocks
back sharply, n the market DecdIle
very dull on the decline.
u m.-The reaction In pennsylvania
reached nearly 2 points and in several
other active stocks a point. The trading
diminished to nominal proportions and the
tone became firm at the w level. There
were wide advances In quotations OF bonus,
but the amounts dealt In were not large.
l p. m.-Brisk purchases of Union Pacific

mand in the general list, and prices rose

8 p. m.-The market closed dull and
heavy. The appointment of a receiver for
the Arnold Print works of North Adams,
Mass, was made occasion for some sell
ing of stocks which caused "a sharp reac-
ton and reduced the earlier gains to
moderate proportions. There was a sale
of Pacific Coast LIST preferred at 65, the
preceding sale having been at los In IAN

Mr.. Cooper. of Ripley & Cooper. says
THE gold which is being imported from
Europe is not for Wall Street or any OF
It's spectators. The gold is just brought
over to keep the low reserves within tne

collateral. which nav dropped

TARIFF TO Be TABoOED AT
COMMERCE CONFERENCE.
Straus Says That Meeting Plarqed for
December with Business Bodies
Is Purely for Trade Interest.

WASHINGTON. Nov. Oscar s..
Straus, Secretary OF Commerce and
Labor, took occasion yesterday to COR
rect an impression concern
ing the subjects to be discussed at the
meeting to be held at the Department
of Commerce and Labor in December
for the purpose of considering ways and
means to promote the, foreign COM
merce of the United States. He said:
I'm regard to the meeting of cham-
mittees from boards of trade and cham
bers of commerce from some of the
larger cities at the Department of
Commerce and Labor In December next.
there seems to be some naisunaaFT
standing growing out of press reports
relative to the meeting. 1t has been
reported that among the subjects thai
VIII come up for discussion at the
meeting will be tariff ard reciprocity.
This is a mistake. The purpose of
this meeting, as stated IN the, ON
munication inviting the commercial
bodies, is with the view of. develop
ing the most practical plan for render
ing the department OF greater service
to the commercial interests of the coun-
try, and at the same time to enable
the department to enlist the cooperation
of such interests
n such subject as the tariff or reci-
procity will be taken up. That is pure
ly a legislative matter, and is in no
way connected with the subject of adj
ministrat1on for which this conference
is called. The department. for in
stance, sends agents abroad to investi-
gate trade conditions; it publishes
consular reports n trade opportuni-
ties. The purpose is to make this line
of work and this information of the
greatest use to the commercial and
manufacturing interests, and at the
same time to enable the department
to benefit by the advice and experience
of such commercial bodies"

THE LONDON MARKET.

LONDON. Nov. Son the Stock Ex-
change during the forenoon. Americans
were moderately supported at prices frac-
tionally above yesterdays closing, on the
seeming improved conditions in the United
States. Business slackened later, but on
receipt of New York's opening there was
renewed strength. The market closed quiet
below the best Of the day on profit taking.
There was a lull in the bullion market
today, the only movement reported being
the purchase by the Bank of England of
144,000 pounds sterling in American eagles.
which came on the market from Paris.
Much uncertainty is expressed as to
whether the discount rate of the Bank of
England will be raised tomorrow. TIL re-
lief-3,0OO,e 600 pounds sterling-afforded by
the Bank of France and the fact that Ber-
lin is sending 100000 pounds in gold to
London have temporarily eased the situa-
ton, but the 1900, 900 pounds thus secured
will not be sufficient to prevent a rise in
the discount rate, should the American
pressure for gold in this market continue,
and should no additional supplies of foreign
gold be attracted by the 6 per cent rate.
