New Home For Utes.

Deadwood, S. D.. May 22.-Tne runa
way Ute Indians, who deserted their
homes in Utah a yea ago took the
trail for their / hunting grounds
in this state, spreading terror among
the white settlers, ave leased a por-
ton of the Cheyenne reservation,
where they will take up their perma-
nent abode. For tne last six months
the Utes have been making their
home at Fort Meade, where the army
officials were forced to provide food,
clothing and shelter. The presence
of the tribe was distasteful alike to the
soldiers, white citizens and redskins
of this vicinity and their disposition
has been the subject of many anxious
conferences on the part of the inter
ior department in Washington. The
matter has now been satisfactorily
settled, at least temporarily. While
here the Utes were offered work in a
railway construction camp, but indig-
nantly spurned the offer.

ference of international arbitration
was inaugurated today. The sessions
will extend Through tomorrow and

side1t Nicholas Murray Butler, of Col

except for the lack of foreign delegates
is almost as notable as that of the re-

Hague conference.
The object of this, as we'll as past
conferences. are to c the estab-
lishment of advisory powers and the
formulation of arbitration treaties,
both special and general, between ma
tons. Now that the international ar
bitratfol court has become a fixture

movement will be made the subject of
a general discussion, the list of speak
ers including besides President But

ing, of Western Reserve and many
others.

species of Cereus or the more spiny
opuntias are planted thickly in bord-

ones which stock eat readily.
All of the species are fed to stock
Unfortunately. Whatever is avail
able and can be spared is si1ged and
fed to cattle. So far as We have OBJ
served, the Durasnillo is preferred 10
all others. This is due to some ex-
tent TO its small fiber content but
more especially to its abundant deli
cate spines which are singed off more
readily than those Of other species,
although they may be fewer ia num-
ber.
However, the extent of cattle feed
ing upon this kind of food is not so
great in Mexico as one would sup
nose from the abundance of the mater
ial and the great extent of time dur
ing which the practice has been II
vogue. The fact is that the average
peon canndt afford to feed to stock
what he himself can use 50 probably
in other ways. The prickIy pear is

stems and joints are used for fuel.
Of course, the fuel which it makes
is exceedingly poor but it serves the
purpose in that land where this com
modify is exceedingly SCARCE. The
feeding of cacti to stock, therefore,
IS a secondary consideration. The
limbs which break off and such other
portions of the orchard material as
cal be spared without seriously jeo-
pardizing the tuna crop, together with
such wild forms as are available, are
fed to cattle. On some of the large
~haciendas, especially those devoted
largely to maguay culture, the feed
ing of e to work oxen during the
grassless season is a regular practice
but then only wild forms are used.
