Gen. Smirnoff. Gen. Stoessel's most bitter
enemy, is to be tried on a minor count.
The court will be composed of nine gen.
erals. under the presidency of Vice Ad-
miral Doubassoff. 1t will include Gems.
Kuropatkin Bllderling Myloff and others.
Gen. Gursky will be judge advocate.
Gen. Stoessel will be defended by Deputy
Syrtlanoff and Col. Veliaminoff.
The Indictment.
The basis of the indictment is practi-
cally identical with that set forth in the
secret report of the defense of Port Ar
thur made by Gen. Smirnoff, but counsel
for the defense have announced their in
tention of broadening the scope of the in
quiry to bring in the conduct of the min
istry of war both prior to and during the
war with Japan.
The trial is exciting the most intense
interest in army circles. Every ticket to
the little auditorium in the Army ana
Navy Club, where the hearing VIII he
held has been taken by army officers or
high rank. 1t is curious coincidence
that this room in the club was the scene
some months ago of the acceptance by the
minister of war of the sword or honor
purchased by public subscription IN
France for presentation to Gen. Stoessel
in recognition of his heroic defense or
Port Arthur. After the accusations
brought against Gen. Stoessel the con-
templated inscription was changed. and
the sword was presented instead to the
Russian army.
The trial will last fortnight. Maj.
Tsunova of the Japanese army. who was
Cen Nogi's chief of staff during the
war as we'll as several newspaper corre-
spondents, have been summoned as wit

Stoessel's Condition.
Gen. Stoessel is in a pftiable state Of
excitement over the final hearing of his
case and the doctors are apprehensive of
the effect upon the veteran officer. who
has suffered two paralytic strokes since
the fall of the fortress. The general said
today that he was glad that the trial.

 is erroneous, just as is the idea that the only good Indian is a dead Indian The annual report of the commissioner of Indian affairs, Francis F. Leupp, gives some facts that show what many of the Indians are accomplishing as farmers or work CTS in other branches of labor. Among the most industrious of the red men of the west are the Crow Indians of Mon- tana, whose agricultural fair has now become regular annual institution. The Crows are not now drawing ra tions from the government and have not been for two years. A good part of them seem really to believe that people ought to work for what they enjoy of the good things of life. The progress they have made is in part due to the intelligence displayed by the govern mental agents having to do with them. The latter have proceeded on the theo- ry that the best place to train an h. dian to habits of industry and produc- tiveness is at his own home and on his own iand The fair the Crows held the past autumn is a pretty good proof of the wisdom of this plan. It was al- together an Indian enterprise. Each Crow brought his own exhibit. and there was as much interest in the con- petition between growers of tall corn and big vegetables. fat pigs and good breeds of stock. as was ever shown in a hunt or war dance.
 Chief Plenty Coos competed for the prize for the best driving team, but was beaten by team owned and driv- en by Q squaw, which created much

oHIU HANDSOME ELK OF THE CROW rRIB1 amusement. The stock parade was a grand success. and the first prize was awarded to Takes-the-Gun. Mrs. Pret- ty Antelope won the first prize for meals and table, and the first prize for . we'll kept tepee went to Mrs. Joseph Stewart. Both these dusky ladies are full blood Indians, and neither has been to school or can speak word of Eng lish. Takes-the- Gun brought In as his exhibit load of fine corn, grain, mel ons. pumpkins. squashes and other veg. etables. Bird Horse had an equally fine outfit and drove splendid four horse team of bays. Pigs and chick ems were an interesting feature at the fair. There was big industrial pa rade. in which nearly all the Indians Joined. driving all kinds of farming outfits. The Indians who obtained pre- mlums were required to own their out fits and to have paid for them by their own efforts.
 The beet sugar industry, which is Of such growing importance in the west, Is one in which the red man takes much interest and to which he Is we'll adapted. An average red man does not like to work alone. Sugar beet culture has an attraction for him above most other forms of agriculture because it affords employment for his whole family at once. The wife and children. who are such large factors in his life. can work in the beet fields side by side with him. and even the little papoose can be taught to weed the rows. just as the pickaninny in the south can be used as a cotton pick CT. It Is for such reasons, as MT Leupp puts It. that "the Indian takes to beet farming as naturally as the Italian takes to art or the German to science"
 Railroad construction Is another branch of work in which the red men have proved good laborers. Railroad builders know the Indians as workers and are ready to pay them the white mans wages. The Indians are strong, silent and. as one railroad boss puts It. nave not yet learned to loaf when the boss back Is turned"
