The army command consisted OF
four officers, seventyfour men and
three Indian scouts. The telegram to
the Indian bureau. which was dated
Mt Ship Rock, N. NJ, follows:
''1'he troops have returned from
southern Utah. They arrested Bylil-
lie and nine other Indians. Three
others were killed and one wounded
while shooting at the Indians. The
Indians are quiet and do not antici-
pate further trouble"
This is the first information received
here regarding the encounter. The Of

Indians Are Nayajos.

The Indians taken into custody are
part Of band of Navajos that have
been making trouble on the Navajo
reservation in northwestern New Mex
leo and northeastern Arizona. For
some time a number OF Indians under
the leadership of Bylillie have been
creating disturbances because of their
disinclination to observe the regula-
tIons of the Indian office and their ef-
forts to prevent others Of the tribe
from doing so. SO pronounced have
their objections become, and so Of
fensive their actions that Supern-
tendent Shelton made request that
a body of soldiers be sent to the reser-
vation.

Troops Sent to Scene.

Accordingly, troops l and X of the
Fifth cavalry, under command Of Cap
tain II. o. Willard were dispatcher
from Fort Wingate, n. NJ, to Annette,
Utah, on the 22d instant. 1t was un-
derstood at the time that they should
simply go through the Indian country
on practice march, and 1t was not in
tended that their presence should mean
any more than a demonstration to the
Indians, Mr. Sheldon's idea being that
the mere sight of the soldiers would
have quieting effect upon the turbu-
lent members of the tribe.

It is stated that certain rich New
 Workers gives his wife S20.OOO per
 year for dresses alone. It can readily
 be seen from this how time must be
 wasted in the selecting of so many
 dresses and the trying of them on. In
 fact, such dressing is out of all per-
 spective In the matter of time-there
 being precious little left for other
 work than that of putting on or of of dresses. In consequence. the rich wo- man found herself confronted by a
 condition not theory. So she has in- vented n new occupation. "One of the latest occupations for women Is found
 in the role of 'understudy' to the wives of the great American million aires" says the Dundee Advertiser. 'The 'understudy.' as she is called dummy although more correct. Is an inelegant term-is employed to try on dresses. She must have the exact measurements of her patronesS, the same coIoring. and. when possible. the same type of face.

February Burr Mcintosh Monthly.


 The color work of this beautiful magazine has always been source Of great admiration of those who have seen 1t, particularly, as the publishers have been able to get some unique que effects by the use of color. The February number, now on the news stands. is unusually strong in this re- spect. In it's pages of celebrities fine reproductions of photographs are shown of Geraldine Ferrar, Emma Flames, Madam DiCisneros, Madam Jacoby, NJ. Renaud, M. Delmorcs and Fernand Sonbeyran, all of the Metro politan Opera company. An extreme ly pretty page illustrates scenes from Madam Butterfly" as presented by the Savage opera company. An in teresting illustrated article on Ameri- can opera singers on the German stages will be appreciated by all Americans who are interested in mu- sic. Under the always interesting caption people of note, Professor Stoddard the author. Charles Klein the famous playwright. the late sam uel Spencer of the Southern railroad, Cardinal Gibbons representing the church of Rome in America, the late Walter Appleton Clark among the foremost illustrators of the day and IT. H. Rogers of Standard oil fame are prominent. A specially interest ing form is printed in shade of pur- ple. illustrating in text and picture the winter exhibition of the national academy of design. Although this is. sue is unusually beautiful as well as extremely varied in it's contents.

Much confusion still exists as to what may be put in rural route mail boxes. Rural mail carriers have in- structions to pink out anything placed in mail boxes on their route other than put there by the patrons for mailing and bring it to the post office, where the matter will be re- ported to the department, with a statement of facts of who placed it there, if it is known who did it. The report reached the postoffice this week from one of the patrons on one of the western routes that sale bills had been placed in the box after the carrier had passed, which was found by the pa irons. He didn't know whether the practice was allowable or not and took the bill from the box. The mail boxes on the routes are the private property of the patron, but are under the control of the postoffice depart ment. Any kind of advertising placed in the box without the proper postage is prohibited and it would be we'll to remember this fast before doing 1t. Not long ago it was ruled by the post office authorities that if a farmer has a rural mail box out in front of his house neighbor cannot leave note in it for him without putting a 2-cent stamp on the note. Rural carriers are ordered to take up all such mat ters they find and hold it for postage. In New York, where the private car rying of letter is being stopped or dis couraged by the government, it has been ruled that an unstamped letter cannot be legally carried past the postoffice or its branches. So it seems outsiders had better let a private let ter box alone.

 Connecticut is the most important manufacturing state in the Union for
 its size-area and population-and is sixth in the actual value of manu- factures produced. It Is, naturally, the home of invention and discovery in mechanics and its citizens take out
 more patents-in proportion to popu- lation-than any other state in the
 Union. Looking back over the last half century the important inven- tions originating in Connecticut,
 which have benefited the public and | in many cases revolutionized impor- tant branches of trade and estab- lished others where none existed be- fore, are seen to be very many. Con- necticut stands we'll up to the head in that matter also.-Bridgeport Standard.

SATURDAY, FEB 2, 1907.

The two chief figures on the zone at present are the chief engineer, John
 r. Stevens, and the chief sanitary of ficer, Colonel William Crawford Cor gas, U. s. A., says one writer. Stew ems is one of J. J. Hills pupils; hay ing learned to obey orders, he is able to command. They call him the ''Sphinx," because, like yon Moltke, he can be silent in seven languages. At other times he has Lincoln's con- summate gift of storytelling. He is "a good mixer" affable and demo- cratic, but at the same time woe unto the man who oversteps the boundary between freedom and license, and pre- sumes upon the chiefs good-humor. The chief is accustomed to give his orders laconically, or as one of his men put 1t, Sometimes his sentences are so damn short, he keeps me guessing" He knows what he wants, and does not dutuate betwixt two minds in matter. Consequently he has corps of subordinates who will do anything he tells them, and follow him anywhere. They trust his great railroad experience and engineering ability, but more than that. they be lieve in the man he is. A great part of John F. Stevens power with all due reserve and respect be it said) is ascribable to the fact that Mrs Stew ems is woman of large-hearted ma ternal sympathies, to whom any young man may come (and lots do come) in perplexity and trouble, sure of finding counselor and a friend.

PERKINS SAYS CONFLICT MUST CONE
United States, Says Senator, VIII Have to Decide Before Long the Supremacy of Pacific With
 Oriental Nation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Secretary Root positively refuses to make any statement touching the Japanese situa- ton in its relation to the conferences which took place at the White House between the president and some mem bers of the cabinet and the California congressional delegation.
 He does, however, enter sweeping denial of the authenticity of any of the published interviews attributed to him as to the imminence of war or the state of the treaty negotiations or in- deed any phase of this subject which he regards as one eminently unsuited for public discussion at this time.
 The Japanese ambassador Is not ac- cessible to newspaper reporters. He declined to be seen.
 The fact appears to be that state ment was erroneously credited to Secre- tary Root, who was put in the position of saying that he had received an ulti. matum from Baron Hayashi. Japanese minister for foreign affairs. MT. Root denies that he has received any such communication. and careful inquiry fails to show that the alleged remark of Baron Hayashi has ever been com nunicated officially to this government

 Tt is useless to speculate as to what the occasion or excuse for this conflict may be.
