tendent John ID. Benedict of the Five
Civilized tribes oil Oklahoma and three
supervisors after an investigation that

As result of the investigation that
the interior department has been car
rying on for some time and which will
be continued. other officials of the

tivities improper for government en-
pfoyes. The suspended supervisors are

of the chickasaw school at Ardmore.

Toxic to Answer.

Secretary Knox's arguments dwell
upon the advantages Of terminating
the cause of constantly renewed dis
pu,es in Manchuria, but it is proper
to ask whether the aim of the United
States Is always TO the benefit of hu-
manity or to the promotion Of her
own interests. Toxic must give the
answer. Already the Yankee policy
has compelled Japan to take the mill
tars precautions that SO greatly
alarmed Russia. Japan knows how to
act quickly. Therefore. the japanese
response will be awaited with In
Duietude". La Liberte considers tho
American solution as ingenious and
inspired by the generous optimism
characteristic Of American diplomacy
II regards the proposition Of the
American government as equitable IN
the interest of peace, but fears that
Japan's attitude will not be encoarag-
ing.
But the American Initiative" says
La i.ibertc. at least will show wheth-
er the Imperialism of Japan Is COM
patibie with the peace of the world"

Tree Photographed by Lightning.

Lancaster, July l6.--A remarka-
bic feature i'm the case Of Frank Mil
Ter, the young farmer who was kill
ed by lightning in this county day
before yesterday, is the fact that a
perfect picture Of the sycamore tree
under which he was stricken, was
photographed on his body, even out
lines Of the branches and leaves dis
tinctly appearing. The fact is
vouchcd for by a reliable citizen Of
this community, who helped to pre-
pare his body for burial yesterday.
Another strange fact Is that these
inca escaped unharmed who were
sitting on the lever Of the cider
press when the lever was strucl by
the bolt that descended the syca-
more tree. Miller, 1t will be re-
called, was under the press at the
time, straining cider.
