Senator Cores Charges.

Washington, d. c., June 25.-An
investigation of the affairs OF the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians that
promises to include the bribery charges
of Senator Gore was decided upon by
the Senate today Some time ago
Senator Gore introduced resolution
providing that the committee on Indian
affairs or subcommittee thereof
should investigate the question whether
the Choctaws and Chickasaws needed
LEGAL services for the sale of their coal
and timber lands, to inquire into any
contracts that had been made and
whether the commission Of 10 per cent
provided 10y such contract is reasonable
Senator Cores attitude in the mat
fer of the bribery charges today was
that he had informed the Senate of the
condition Of affairs and whether further
action should be taken depends upon
the Senate itself
The Gore resolution adopted by the
Senate this morning provides that,
1T is the sense Of the Senate that no
contracts relating to the sale OF such
segre ,atCd coal and asphalt lands and
relating to any fees or commission Iii
connection with such sale should be APP
proved until the report herein provided
for is submitted. " The report referred
to is the one to DE submitted by the
committee on Indian affairs as result
Of its investigation of the McMurray
contracts.
The investigation is to be made at the
next session. Senator Kcan from the
committee Of continent expenses made
a favorable report to the Senate today.
Senator Cores request for immediate
consideration was granted and the resO-
luton was passed without discussion.
As a result OF the charges of Senator
Gore and the drastic action Ofthe House
throwing the Mcclure amendment to
the general deficiency b'll, the cOnferees
on this bill today inserted an amend
ment reading as follows:
That no contract or contracts here
tofore or hereafter made affecting the
tribal moneys or property OF said Indian
tribes or nations shall be approved until
further action 10y Congress"
This effectually blocks the McMurray
contract.
An agreement was reached on this
bill and passed by the Senate.
Senator Gore called attention to press
,.,,,,,.,4, aIfo,r;ne, that lac yesterday re-
fcrrcd to some senator who was a
member Of the committee on Indian
affairs. He SAID no references was
made 10y him to member of that or
any other commistee. He said the Con-
gressional Record would bear out his
statement
The population Of Wilmington, Del
aware. is s., All. This is the second
official announcement of population ac-
coIding to the census of 1910. The
gain for ten years is 10,903.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
EVENING. JUNE ~

A CONTEMPORARY asks, Why are SO
many people brave under all other
circumstances. 50 deathly afraid OF
thunder and lightning? 1t is not be-
cause lightning is 50 dangerous, for
il isn't half as dangerous as going Out
ofthe house on an icy morning, walk
ing down the cellar stairs, or hun
dred other things we do every day
without thought Of personal harm.
More people are killed each year by
falling building material, more die
from fright, than are killed by
lightning. The Census Bureau shows
only 169 people killed by lightning IN
this entire country during the year
1906. and only 80 Of these people were
killed in the cities. Heat and sun killed
76S during the same year; 2O3 died
from cold and freezing, and 1850
were drowned. During the prevalence
Of the recent hot wave several deaths
were caused by lightning in different
parts Of the country, while hundreds
died from heat.

THE Lake of Blood, " the Roth-See
near Lucerne has assumed its sanguln-
airy color this season, after many years,
owing to the presence Of a seaweed
which is rarely found in the Alps. The
peasants will not visit the lake and
have ordered their children not to look
at it, as they believe misfortune is sure
TO follow. Whenever this lake becomes
red the peasants believe that wars are
sure to come, and therefore it is pre-
dlcted that before the end Of this year
war will break out somewhere in the
world.

THE bankers of Kansas City and
the southwest dependent on the Kan
sas City banks have agreed to lend
no more money to any one VINO IN
tends TO use the cash for the purchase

dollars were invested in motor cars
in the last year in Kansas. One
million dollars may be added TO this
to keep these motor ears in repair for

FROM WASHINGTON.

Correspondence of Alexandra Gazettel
The congressional committee which
has been investigating the charges
against Secretary OF the Interior
Ballinger adjourned today until Sep
TENDER 3, when a meeting is to be held
at Minneapolis, Mimi, and a report
formulated. The action of the com
mittee in postponing its decision was
due, it is explained, to the enormous
mass of evidence which has been taken
and the necessity for research on the
part of the members.
1t was announced here today that
September will be the date of the
speech by Mr. Roosevelt before the
second national conservation congress,
which will be held in st. Paul. The
congress will open on that day.

TO REINCARNATE SAINT.

Tardy justice is to be done to Tibe-
tan Hootookatoo, a high priest Of
Buddhism, who lost his head when he
incurred the displeasure of the since
deposed Dalai Lama, the religious head
of the Buddhists, who fled from Lhasa
last spring. He is to be reincarnated
and his titles and wealth restored.
This is ordered in an imperial edict
issued in Peking yesterday, by Prince
Chun, the regent Of China.
The imperial edict, made public in
the name OF the Son Of Heaven, sets
forth that the Hootookatoo-that is,
one OF the saints Of the highest class
was decapitated three years ago. The
throne finds now that it was deceived
BY the Dalai Lama, who secured the
execution on the ground that the high
priest had attempted the formers life
by sOrcery, a profession in which these
saints are reputed to be especially
gifted. Recently the lesser Lamas
memorialized the throne, divulging the
fact that the Dalai Lama had sought to
extort large sums OF money from the
Hoolookatoo. Failing in his attempt
at extortion the religious ruler brought
about the others death.
The process of reincarnation will be
similar to that Of Dalai Lama. Infants
Of certain blood displaying signs that
they possess the same soul as did the
deceased will be assembled and their
names written upon slabs Of wood and
sealed. These will be placed in large
urn Of precious metal, from which the
high Lama will draw by chance one of
the names, The identity of the rein
carnated will be greeted by the popu
lace with shouts of JOY
The edict further provides that the
sainthood OF the Hootookatoo shall be
restored and that his treasure cOnfis-
Gated by the Dalai Lama shall be re-
turned to the infant HoOtookatoo A
regency OF Lamas will act for the rein
carnated one until his maturity.

CONGRESSIONAL,

Senator Gore startled the Senate yes
terday by charging that an offer had
been made to bride him in connection
with some proposed legislation putting
limitation upon contracts with the
Chcasaw and Choctaw Indians ia
Oklahoma. He charged that a like
offer had been made to member Of
the House. The Senate took no action
on Mr.. Cores charges, but will prob
ably do SO later.
The filibuster begun Thursday in
opposition to the Appalachian White
mountain forest reserve bill was con
timed. Senators Burton, of Ohio, and
Newlands, OF Nevada, prevented n vote
on the bill.
A joint resolution authorizing the
president to invite the International
Congress Of Refrigeration to meet in
this country was passed.
The Senate agreed to the conference
report on the bill for parole of federal
prisoners; on the bill for the publicity
of campaign contributions, and on the
bill making a government loan of 800,
600, 900 for the reclamation work,
The Scott anti-option bill to re-
strict cotton exchange transactions
which do not involve actual delivery
of the commodity was passed by the
House, 100 to Al. The bill is not ex-
pected to pass the Senate at the pres
ent session.
The House conferees won their fight
for the House provision in the bill
authorizing the issue of $50, 700, 900
worth of certificates of Indebtedness
for the completion Of existing re-
clamation projects and requiring
an examination by army engineers
of projects on which it is proposed to
spend the money SO raised. The
House conferees made the concession
however, that the provision should be
modified so that the power Of APP
proving projects should rest upon the
president alone. The House provi-
sion would have required the approval
also of the army engineers.
After considerable debate over the
provision at issue the Senate accepted
the conference report.
The bill providing for an employ
ers' liability commission was returned
TO conference
The House, at few minutes before
midnight, passed the bill of Repre-
sentative Weeks for the creation of
forest reserves in the White Noun
tains and the southern Appalachians.
The result was close, 100 to Ill. I'm
der the terms of the bill the govern
ment is authorized to expend 81 900,
600, to be distributed over a period
Of five years for the purchase OF
lands in water sheds in aid OF navi-
cation. With the passage of the bill
by the House, the measure is now up
to the Senate, which spent practically
all of yesterday in the consideration OF
the measure.

with the result that the matter was left
suspended.
