SECRETARY OF THE TERIOR
MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS
e. '
~'ashington, Nov. 26.--The annual
report of Secretary ltitchcock of the
Interior Department has been made
public. The report highly indorses the
work and recommendations of Com-
missioner of Pensions Evans and says
that the veterans have no more sincere
friend tlmn their commissioner, "who
has served as an enlisted man in the
armies of the United States, and he
but maintains and defends the honor
of their patriotic service when refus-
Ing to Ignore both the letter and spirit
of the law. he declines to permit the
impostor, whether clahnant or agent,
to share in the bounty provided for the
veteran and those dependent upon
him."
The report indorses the conclusions
submitted by Comndssioner of Indian
Affairs Jones "regarding the present In.
dlan education system. The secretary
says:
"The management of the In(~lan ser-
vice inthe field and schools, while sat-
lsfactory under existing conditions, is
not deemed to be the best for the wel-
fare of the Indians, and different meth-
ods will hereafter be adopted. This
policy contemplates requiring the work-
ing by Indian allottees able to do so of
a fair portion of lands allotted them
and the contributing by their industry
to their own support of all not entirely
disqualified by actual disability, phys-
fcal or otherwise, the discontinuance of
the Issue of rations to those able to
support themselves, and the extension
to the latter of every possible aid for
their well being and encouragement;
the inauguration of industrial training
in all schools which are not now estab-
lished, so that such Indians of beth
sexes may be taught the trades or in-
dustries . adapted to their circum-
stances,"
The income of the various Indian
tribes from all sources aggregated $5,-
388,880, a falling off of $260,952, mostly
due to the expiration of treaty obliga-
tions. The curriculum of Indian
schools, the secretary says, should be
restricted to the common school course
and the further extension of non-reser.
cation schools not be permitted. In the
future full leasing privileges will be
confined to those whose disability or
inability actually disqualifies them
from working any part of their allot-
ments, and in a lesser degree to those
whose disability prevents their work-
ing more than a small part of their al-
lotments, all other allottees to be re-
quired to work at least forty acres of
their allotment.
The Dawes commission to the five
civilized tribes in Indian Territory re-
,imrrs that the rolls of membership of
only one nation, the Seminoles. so far,
have been approved, and their lands
have not yet been entirely allotted.
The time cannot be fixed with. cer-
tainty when the enrollment of the fakir
remaining tribes will be finished. There
is a vast amount of labor yet to be per-
formed by the commission and Secre-
tary Hitchcock recommeuds that the
commission be increased by Iour mem-
bers.
The secretary says the net earnings
of the bond-alded and land grant rail-
roads amounts to over $13.000.000 and
tbe increase in gross earnings to $37,.
000,000. The increase in expenses for
the year was over $24.000,000. The
debt of the Central Pacific road to the
United States now stands at $58,812c

When is a cigarette not a cigarette.*
When it is a pipe. The answer to the
conundrum was given by English
magistrates. The taking of a tobacco
plpe Into a certain mine was prohib-
ited. A partly smoked cigarette was
found in a workman's pocket. The
man was arraigned and fined. The
Judges held that a paper charged with
tobacco was a pipe within the mean-
ing of the rule. It was an instance of
applied common sense. Human life
is of more value than literal construc-
tion. The petty court was merely il-
lustrating a working principle observ-

ganization and a larger Jurisdiction.

Thomas believes that to be "a great

himself came to this country when he
was fifteen years old. He declares his

INTERCONTINENTAL
AMERICAN RAILWAY
Mexico City. Nov. 26,~The report of
ex-Senator Henry C. Davis to the Pan-
American railway \committee of the
international Ameridan conferences Ires
been submitted to the session of the
conference. Mr. Davis says in his re-
port that there is nothiRg lmpractica.
ble nor visionary in the construction of
the road or the flotation of the neces-
sary stock. He remarks that each of
such systems as the Pennsylvania, the
New York Central, the. Atchison. the
Northern Pacific. the Union Pectic.
the Southern Pacific, the Southern rail-
way and others have a greater mileage
than is now necessary to assure the
realization of the Intercolonial railroad.
while the bonds and shares outstand-
ing of each of such systems are in ex-
cess of the sum estima%ed as necessary
for the c~nstructlon of the railroad in
question. The Russian government has
Just completed, says the senator, a rail-
road through Siberia at a cost consid-
erably in excess of the amount esti-
mated as necessary for the completion
of an American intercontinental rail-
road, and in doing so has overcome
greater natural difficulties than are to
be looked for in the construction of the
latter.
Mr. Davis estimates the mileage of
the lntercpntinental railroad to be con-
structed a~ 5,000 miles, in order to link
existing systems, and calculates the
cost at $200,000,000, or at the rate of
$40,00~ per mile,
Among the recommendations made in
the report are the following:
That a railroad connecting all or tha
greater part of the nations represented
in the conference will contribute pow-
erfully to the "development of the ma-
terial relations and interests of the said
nations.
That property, real and movable, of
the railroad employed in construction
and operation of the road be exempted
from all national, provincial, state and
municipal taxation.
That the realization of a work of
such magnitude deserves to be encour.

ness to their several governments the
granting of liberal concessions to the
enterprise, in such form as may ap-
pear most suitable to each government.

FIVE WEEKS ALLOWED
TO TEA.R DOWN FENCES
Cheyenne, Wyo.. Nov. 26.--(Denver
Republican Special.) -- The United
States court room was crowded yester-
ady afternoon when A. A. Spaugh, the
Mannville eaf~le man, who was on Sat-
urday convicted of illegally fencing a
tract of 225,000 acres of governmen~
land, appeared to receive his sentence.
After reviewing the trial, Judge Ri,
nor stated that the court would give
the defendant until January 2d to re-
move the fence inclosing the govern-
ment land and at that time sentence
would be imposed according to the
merits of the ease.
Mr. Paugh stated that he would use
all diligence in seeing that the fence
is removed at once, and it is expected
that the sentence imposed will be mere-
ly a nominal fine if the mandate of the
court is carried out and aH of the
fence is removed by January 2d. The
area enclosed by SpaughM fences is ap-
proximately 500.000 acres, of which
about 300,000 acres is government
land. He was indicted for fencing 225,.
000 acres.
This will make about 300,000 acres
to be thrown open to the public for
grazing purposes. The work of tear-
lng down these fences is a big task,
Mr. Spaugh estimating that it will take
thirty men thirty days to complete the
work. There are about 120 miles of
fencing.
The example of Spaugh probably will
be followed .by other fencers of gov-
ernment land, .as this case has been
watched by many stockmen and com-
panies, who. doubtless, will accept as
final the decision of this first test case.

MR. WOLCOTT'S POSITION.
To the people of Colorado, the, most
important political utterance of the
year Is contained in the interview
which Senator XVolcott gave to.the
Denver Republican of yesterday, and
which is reprinted in full in other col
nmns of this paper.
The interview will be interesting to
both the friends and the enemies of
Mr. Woleott: The former will like it,
seeing in it the expression of the man's
well-known character; the latter will
dislike and fear it, for it means Re-
publican success in the future; no one
who is interested in polities at all, or
In the best Interests of the state of
Colorado. can be indifferent to it.
To those Republicans wire stood by
the party in this state in 1896. Mr. Wol-
eott will always be The Senator. They
cannot forget that at a time when ev-
ery other member of Congress from the
states that were pronounced in their
favor for free silver deserted his party
and went over to the Opl)osition. there
was one great exception. They canner
forget that when it meant probably
political death to him--the end of his
public life, his defeat for re-election.
and the foulest torrent of abuse and
misrepresentation that ever fell upon
a public man--still he stood by the old
party, and gallantly bore the brunt of
the fight in that, hopeless contest. In
the eyes of some people it seems to be
regarded as a crime, or at least as a
serious fault, for a man to have voted
for McKinley the first time. Those
who did do so, and wire worked to-
gether during that campaign, are
bound together by a tie closer than or-
dinary political affiliation.
For the past few years, and notably
in the past year, a number of papers
in the state, mostly Democratic or Pop-
ulist, but including a few that are nmn-
inally Republican, have been making a
concerted and systematic effort to rep-
resent Mr. Wolcott as a bogy-man, and
his appointees to federal office as inso-

The exact extent of the "kartell was

tions supplies the missing factors in
the present alarming conditions of the
sugar market.
The abolition of this organization will
be one of the chief objects of the na-
tions other than Germany attending
the forthcoming Brussels conference.
Already British firms have entered into
all producers and refiners to keep up,
the price of sugar in Germany. This is
done so successfldly that German con-
sumers to-day pay as much for sugar~
as the Briton does for the same article
imported from Germany.
The members of the kartell bind:
themselves to buy from and sell to only
those affiliated with the combine.

kartell now includes practically every

Tne latest figures available in Lon-
don show that Germany now produces
one-th'ird of the world's supply of beet
sugar, of which she exports no less
than 1,250,000 tons. after completely
supplying her own population.
These exports, which are almost one-
fifth of the world's available supply,
are sent out at a loss to German manu-
facturers, but thanks to the kartell

.its consequent upon the,~e methods are
pooled in the kartell and are divided
upon an elaborate and ingenious scale"
and the surplus product is disposed of
at a slight loss in European and Amer-
ican markets, though even this deficit
ls often made up by the bounty that
Germany provides.
British sugar authorities are quoted
as saying that the German kartell and
bounty combined, will, within two-
years, ruin the beet and cane induetry

against bls own wish.
We believe it was a political mis-
take to make any federal office holder
prominent in that way, and we have no
doubt Mr. Ford and Mr. Barley would
bo~h be only too glad to resign f~om
the chairmanships which they took
with reluctance, as soon as anybody
can be found to fill their places. But
caricatures of such men as these in

them to be coarse and tyrannical

brutal and disgusting.
In regard to parry rules, everybody
here knows that in this county there
have never been any party rules that
could keep out anybody who Wanted to

publican who desired to do so should
not have some voice in party manage-
ment. In Arapahoe county it has been
different. In 1896 and for a year or
two thereafter, there was danger that
the Republican organization iu that
county would be captured by its ene-
mies and furned over bodily to the Fu-
sionists; and in order to prevent this,
strict rules were made. and nobody

The test of the Fulton's staying was
highly satisfactory, not only to the offi-
cers of the company tha~ built her and
the naval officers present, but to those
who went to the bottom in the boat.
They report that there was no,t the
slightest discomfort to them during
their more than fifteen hours of sub-
mersion below the surface.
Captain Cable of the Holland com-
p~my, who was in command, said that
the boat could have remained down
for three months if there were food
enough on board. Although there was
tbut six feet of water over the top of
the turret, those on board felt nothing

next year the Republicans will vote
for legislators, not because they are
for any particular candidate for the
Senate, but because they are consid-
ered good men to send to the Legit-

he abdicates. He puts the matter as
plainly as anyone could put when he
says: "When Colorado wins its next
Republican victory it will be when
these (independent) voters believe theft
no man and no set of men dominates
our party, and when we present a
ticket made up of good men in whose
~omination every Republican has had,
or has had the opportunity of having,
full and free and equal, voice."
Such open and frank recognition as
this of a political fault, by a gre~t
party leaders, is rare, but It is Just
what the friends of Mr. Wolcott have
expected of him. He is one of the
fra~kest men on earth~which is one
of the reasons he has made enemies,
and we believe he is one of the most

cess of the party that he loves, and
under whose rule only,, he believes
prosperity can come in full measure
to this state. This utterance de-
serves to be taken at Its fact, and it
will be so taken by everyone whose
mind has not been poisoned or who
has not some persenat ground of en.

Spaugh was summoned before the
court several months ago, the action be-

into the complaints made that certain

The government will at once wage a
vigorous war against land grabbers in
the West, and special agents are now
actively engaged in getting evidence
against a large number of stockmen
and others who have illegally fenced
thousands of acres of the public do-

vented settlers from filing upon the
government lands.
