 ON INDIAN LANDS

Washington, December 22.-The far reaching effect of the recent act of Congress granting to certain members of the five civilized tribes of Indians the right to alienate their lands in Oklahoma forms the subject of special comment ry !. George Wright, commi5- sioner of the five civilized tribes, in his annual report. That act made pos sible the alienation of 5000, 900 acres, which together with the land rendered alienable under former legisla ton makes a total of approximately 110O0. coo acres from which restrictions have been removed. Commissioner Wright s'f les that there are in the five civil ized tribes 30,244 citizens of three fourths or more Indian blood, and 6829 of one-half to three-fourths Indian blood.

 Full bloods, 26,74S; three-fourths or mere, 3496; one-half to three -fourths, 6s29; less than one-half, including whites, 40,773; freed men, 23,3S1. No new enrollments were made during the year.

Tdf VIII Visit TexdS
 Bur Not Birmingham

Augusta, December 22.-President-elect William H. Taft decided today to visit the state of Texas at some convenient time after his inauguration. prelerably at the end of the special session of Congress, which he is to call to revise the tariff. While his itinerary for the visit has not been arranged he will make the city of Dallas one of the principal points of the trip.
 Thirty cities and towns of the Lone Star state united in a request for his presence at any time he should choose to come. The invitation expressed a keen desire on the part of the commercial bodies of the places in question to make the personal acquaintance of Mr Taft, and promised him a cordial welcome and courteous treatment It also dwelt upon the advantage which would result both to the state and to himself through such a visit.
 The acceptance of the invitation is in accordance with Judge Tafts well-de- fined plan to impress upon the south the necessity of becoming practical in it's pol tics. He is to bring his administration iii'O Siose eouSh WllH lne Souln, accoru- Ing to his declarations, and hopes to bring the south to realize the necessity of itself taking a hand in national af- fairs.
 Judge Taft was compelled. much to his expressed regret today to decline to visit Chattanooga, Tenn, where it was hoped to have his presence at the dedication of a $2OO00 Young Mems Christian asso- citation building. The invitation was ex- tended personally by a delegation which visited MT. Taft from that city. In de- clining the Presldent-eect said that to accept meant that he would have to give up the balance of the time between now and the date of his trip to Panama In visiting southern cities, as he had press ing invitations from nearly all of them, and to accept one and reject another would cause dissatisfaction. He expressed his hearty accord with the Y. NJ c. A.

CHANGE EXPECTED
 IN VENEZUELA

Washington, December 22.-That this sion of feeling in Venezuela against the administration of Castro that would be manifested probably in the form of a rev olution has been no secret. For this req son the state department had not been disposed to push the Venezuelan authori- ties by forceful measures to agree to a settlement of the various claims now pending, prefering to let matters take their course, believing in the end that the situation would work itself out
 That there would be a revolution fol- lowing the Presidents departure for Flu rope was fully expected, but that it would be accomplished without bloodshed was hardly anticipated.
 Continued reticence was manifested at the navy department today regarding the movements of the battleship Maine, which left Norfolk yesterday on cruise. and other vessels of the navy whose destina- ton is believed to be the West Indies or Venezuela One of the theories advanced today was that these ships would patrol the various passages in the West Indies to intercept any filibustering expeditions from this country in aid of any revolu- tionary movement in Venezuela The United States will observe strict neu- trality so that no complaint may arise that this government, through indifference to the neutrality laws, permitted the fit- ting out and sailing of hibustering expe- dtions.
 It was admitted at the navy department that the gunboat Dubuque, now at Key West would be ordered to Havana soon The navy department thus, by carefui disposition of its vessels, will be apie 10 watch closely the various passages lead ing to Venezuela

The Hague, December 22.-A yellow book which has just been issued, on Venezuelan affairs, states that all the powers With which the Netherlands government has been in communication have without ex- ception notified the government of their agreement with it's line of action The Dutch government has not asked for any active assistance being convinced of it's own ability to bring about settlement of the difficulty with Venezuela. Never theless, it has received the moral support of all powers. particularly the United States, which made the declaration that the Monroe doctrine was not opposed to armed action on the part of the Neither lands nor even to the temporary occupa- tion of Venezuelan territory.
 The yellow book states that notw1th- standing the acute character of the pres ent situation the Dutch government is still ready to enter upon serious nego- tiations, provided Venezuela comedies what Holland regards as indispensable, the withdra wal of the decree of May IA.

 The mayor declines to discuss any of the details of the probe, but since the affair was given publicity last night all depart ments of his administration have been very active in the matter.
