matter. There is as great a variety and
difference In the individuality and habits
of the priests as there is among the
parishes. There is no rule that can be
applied to them all: no single standard OF
judgment.
Yes. our schools are better attended.
the teachers are more competent the
standard of instruction is being advanced
all the time. and although our educational
system Is not yet all that could be de-
sired. it Is fairly good and steadily i'm
proving. What we lack most of all Is
manual training and technical education.
and that is what we are trying to get
now-publ.c instruction that will improve
the usefulness Of our young men and
women; that will enable them to secure
greater returns for their labor and
knowledge that they can apply to the
everyday affairs of life. We want agri-
cultural colleges and technical schools
where the simple sciences are taught like
those you have in America. and We are
already getting some of them Our great
est difficulty lies in lack of teachers. but
we arc having them trained"

Cherokees, Creeks. chickasaws and Choc-
taws-under the lead of Eufaula Harjo

fee here that Crazy Snake and his fol-
lowers do not represent the real Indians
who desire to deal with the government
direct.
Eufaula Harjo. in telegram to the In.
dian Rights Association today, said he had
called the attention of Indian Agent
Dana H. Kelsey Of Oklahoma to the
threatened trouble at the meeting He re-
quested the association to present the
matter to President Roosevelt 1t was
also announced in a telegram that many
of the negroes who are attending the
Crazy Snake assemblage are armed
press special from Guthrie. Okla,
says that an armed conflict between Crazy
Snakes forces and the FARMERS is ex-
pected and that the governor may order

Howe was in Oklahoma and would advise
the assembled Indians to obey the law as

termed.

the last home port until Hampton roads,
October 1.
The reception to be accorded the fleet
in Manila will be striking and the enter
tainment of the officers and men ashore
will be as cordial and heartfelt, If not as
elaborate, as the receptions at other
places
The American colony in Manila is look
ing forward to the event with fervent an
ticipation. A large fund has been SUBJ
scribed and committees are at work on
the preparations.
Great interest is felt in the fleets visit
to Japan. Proceeding to Yokohama from
Manila, the fleet will arrive there October
II. Here. October "a. 1T will be divided,
the first squadron returning to Manila,
where it will arrive October 20.
The promise is that the welcome to be
given the Americans in Yokohama will
not be second, in graciousness at least. to
anything met with at any port previously
touched. 1t is upon the special invitation
of the Emperor of Japan that the feet
goes there Elaborate functions at court
and social affairs will be held for the Of
f1cers Of the fleet.

At Annoy. China the reception will
doubtless be the occasion of great cele-
bration characteristic of the Chinese.
The two squadrons of the fleet will be
brought together again at Manila Novem-
Der Z. and the departure thence for Alden

place within the following few days. the
exact date not yet having been de-

sembled here previously to the departure
OF the battleships for Hampton roads will
remain in this harbor until August 5. at
which time they will start for Samoa and
the Philippines with the little black boats
comprising the Atlantic and Pacific tor
pedo flotillas in tow.
Preparatory to this summer voyage of
the Pacific feet a squadron Of the cruis-
ers will take some Of the torpedo boats
in tow and steam down the Pacific coast
as far as San Diego by way of a test of
the possibility of towing the little craft
for long distances The towing to Samoa
and the Philippines is contingent upon the
success of this experiment.

considered probable that Admiral Swim
burne will succeed him in command of the
Pacific fleet and take it across the Pa
cific and back.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va, July s. 1905
The dog wagon started out at 10 o'clock
this morning on its annual pilgrimage.
BY noon six luckless dogs who did not
wear the city tag signifying that their
licenses had been paid were taken in Gus
tody and conveyed to a pen in the rear
of the city gas works. They will be held
claimants. If they are not called for
within the above time they will be shot

ing to w. ". Simpson. The work Of
catching dogs is in the hands of Richard
Pines, colored man.
Dick" says il is an easy matter to en-
trap dogs. He uses large net arranged
in hoop-like shape with pole attached. An
extra net Is In the wagon SO that If dog
balks on the official catcher the driver of
the vehicle, Francis Weadon, can assist in
the work.
Policeman Garvey directs the work. He
accompanied the driver. 1t is doubtful,
however. if Dick will need any help.
He is regarded by the police as an excel
lent Splinter and claims to be an adept.
The wagon attracted considerable atten-
ton il made its rounds. The first Sec
tion of the city visited was the first ward.
Announcement was made that the wagon
will continue on its rounds from day to
day until all stray dogs not licensed and
found roaming the streets are taken into
custody.
At noon today City Auditor f. F. Price
had issued $50 dog licenses. This, II Is
said. is about the same as the number
issued this time last year.

Fish That Is Not Afraid.
M the Fishing Gazette.

The boldness of pike is very extraor-
binary. I have seen one follow bait
within q foot of the spot where I have
been standing. and the head keeper Of
Richmond Park assured me that he was
once washing his hand at the side Of a
boat in the great pond in that park
when d pike made a dart at it and he
had but just time to withdraw 1t.
A gentleman now residing at Weybridge
in Surrey informed me that walking one
day by the side of the River \. " near
that town he saw q large pike in a
shallow creek. He Immediately pulled
off his coat. tucked up his shirt sleeves
and went into the water to intercept .ne
return Of the fish to the river and to
endeavor to throw 1t upon the bank by
getting his hands under 1t.
During this attempt the pike. finding
he could not make his escape. seized one
of the arms of the gentleman and lacer-
ated it SO much that the wound Is still
very visible.

opinions.

The Liberators," political
novel by ]. n. Stevens, has just
been announced by New York
publishing house. The book will
be issued about February Is. and
is expected to be in circulation in
Colorado by February 20.
Mr.. Stevens friends in Colo
-rado are awaiting with much in
terest the appearance of his book.
1t is understood that while deal
ing with political problems of
national interest, much of the book
has particular reference to this
state, especially with those politi-
cal events with which Mr. Stevens
has been so prominently associ-
ated tor the past twenty years
The characters are nearly all drawn
from persons who have figured in
Colorado politics during this time.
and almost all sections of the
state are represented in the por
trayal.
The book deals almost cxclu-
sively with present day political
problems. In the conditions which
have made political history in
Colorado Mr. Stevens hnds a fun
damental relationship to national
problems. and has worked out So
lutions for many existing evils in
the body polite. The book is de-
signed to have a direct bearing
upon the coming campaign, as well
as future campaigns. in both state
and nation.
Although it deals SO largely
with politics. the book is artisti-
cally rounded with a delightful
love story, which furnishes a
happy contrast to the more serious
theme. The principal events in the
love story are laid among scenes
in some of the pleasure resorts of
this and other Western states.
