A MUNICIPAL BLOODHOUND.

Toronto Republican: The city
Of Yates Center recently invested in
an $50 bloodhound and the Repub-
lican has poked some fun at that
bloodhound in a perfectly gentleman
ly way. The Republican now apol-
ogizes because 1t develops that it
is lady bloodhound. Nay, more,
she has eleven bright, charming and
interesting puppies each worth $50
at weaving time. In fact, had the
Republican known this earlier it
would have set on foot movement
to vote $1,000 of Toronto City bonds
interest not to exceed six per cent,
payable semi-annually, the money
from the sale of the bonds to be APP
piled to the purchase Of a flock Of
bloodhounds like the Yates Center
canine. The city could undersell
Yates Center and create an industry
that would flourish without q pro-
tective tariff, and eventually make
the city government seIf-supporting.

Fiddler Pleases Kaiser

London, June s.--(Special )-One of the most picturesque incidents in connection with the kaisers visit to London was performance before his imperial ma
 jesty by a boy fiddler, who, until re- gently, had picked up scanty livelihood by playing in, the streets. The boy figured among the artists engaged at the garden party given in honor of the kaiser and the, kaiserin by Lord and Lady Londesborough. The boy, David Pagen, was recently awarded first prize in a competition held for street players, and he appeared before the royal party in the clothes he wore during the lat ter days of his street peregrinations. Paget played two selections. and was warmly congratulated by the kaiser up on the skill which he displayed. Paget was one of some 20 street performers who were gathered together for com petition at the Apollo theatre. Sir Alex andra Mackenzie, who was present, ex- pressed himself delighted by the boys playing. and an contemplating agent at once offered Paget an eight weeks en- gagement Before he became a star" Paget stood outside places of entertain n,ent and played to the queues. One of his ''pitches' was in Leicester-sQuare.

 St. Petersburg, June 3-(Special.)- While Russia has little or no direct in- terest in Morocco, the keen attention with which developments in northern Africa is being followed here shows that the en- tente between France and Russia is very much alive and Russian support will be back ct France in any clash which may arise There is high authority for the statement that the imperial Russian gov- ernment has had occasion to notify it's views on the subject to the German for eign office in clear and unmistaka ble terms. The authorities of the Wilhelm strasse have been officially informed that, in the opinion. of the government of his majesty the Czar, the action of France in Morocco is perfectly legitimate and warranted by the circumstances.

The news of the condition of M.

 The deputies of the right wing of the duma introduced strange question, which seems rather to refer to the horrors of the dark ages of the world than to the actualities of modern civilization. The minister of the interior is asked whether he is aware of the existence, of the fanat- ica sect of Jews in Russia, whose mem bers use the blood of Christians in cer- tain of their religious ceremonies, and who, on March p last, tortured and mur- dered 12-year old Russian boy named Yushtchinsky, at Kieff.
 If the existence of this sect is known to the government the latter is asked to state what measures are-being taken to put an end to it. and to discover the mur- derers of the boy in question.

MANY MICHIGAN
INDIANS TO GO
REcENF ALLOTMENT OF FREE
LAND IN WEST WILL PROVE
VERY ATTRACTIVE
TO POOR 10.

Washington. May 19.-It is predict
ed by officers of the government In
dian service that i'm less than five years
the west will have 5000 Indians added
to it's population. Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Idaho and
Utah will get most of the Redmen.
Michigan is TO lose them and the liber-
al land policy of the government is the
cause.
The Indians are going west because
of the advantages they gained by the
general allotment act recently amend
ed which gives an allotment of west
ern surveyed and unsurveyed lands TO
the proportion of not more than 40
acres of irrigable or so acres of nom
irrigable agricultural land. or 100 acres
of non-irrigable grazing land
The Indians were not eligible to al
lotments under the provisions of this
act, which applies specifically TO tribes
and reservation Indians. but the am
endment of 1910 repeals these restric-
tions and gives the Indians of Michi-
gan, and presumably other northwes-
tern states, the same rights as the wes-
tern Indians who are living on the
lands allotted them years ago.
The records show 6,7S4 Indians in
Michigan alone. and there are at least
1000 applications already filed with
the department of the interior at
Washington by these Indians, who
have just discovered their rights un-
der the law and feel that they ought
to take advantage of them and get
big slice of public land, like their wes-
tern brothers.
