annual report of the hoard of In dian commissioners of which Merrill E Gates is chairman has been submitted to Secretary Bliss It says that in the general condition of the Indians no important changes have occurred but there is evidence of steady prog ress in industrial pursuits and in edu cation The board views with satisfaction the firm stand of the president in support of civil service reform and the application of the order prohibiting re movals without cause in the Indian service Relief is expressed that thb placing of the Indian agents themselves under the civil service would be a great boon to the service The board thinks the agreements of the Dawcs commission with the Choc taws and Chickasaws in the Indian ter rltory have one serious defect They make no provision for some thousands of Chickasaw frccdmen whose rights as itizcns the government is bound to protect If this defect can be remedied prompt ratification of the treaties by ongress Isurgcd- Mention is made of the enlarged and Improved facilities for Indian education naugarated during the post few years md figures are given showing that the enrollment in the 288 schools of all trades including contract and mission wheels for 1897 was 83001 as against In enrollment of 23572 for 1800 The average attendance of pupils at Indian schools has increased from 3030 in 1877 to 18070 In 1897 The schools of the five civilized tribes and of the New York Indians are not included in ihcse figures- Considerable progress in the allotments f lands to the Indians has been made luring thoyearNeary 00000 allotments in all

unfit for pro expenive tOncurs with the commissioner of In dian affairs in recommending appro aid In yorks of this charac ter Considerable progress has been made In irrigation work during the year The case of most urgent need ror future development this line it Is stated is that of the Pima and Papa go Indians of Arizona whose water supply for irrigating purposes was cut off seven years ago by the extension of the Florence canal The board recom wends liberal provision for farmers and field matrons und for a supervisor of Irrigation and superintendents of con itructed ditches THE BOARD OF INQUIRY Anertloui with llegard to the hoard Action Mere Speculation- WAsiitXQTOvMarch lNobody at the navy department from the secretary down has any information whatever as to whether or not the Maine court of inquiry will return to Havana from Key West and in fact the plans of the ourt are absolutely unknown here For this reason it is said at the department that any statement as to the probable date upon which the court will report its conclu sions to the secretary of the navy Is purely speculative It is very doubtful In the minds of thcofllcers here wjjeth rr the members of the court themselves arc able to pass an opinion on this point at this time El Liberal of the same date warns the people ugainst those who are seeking to misinterpret every act and word of the United States and criti cizes the efforts of the Carlists to block autonomy which it adds the liberals are loyally trying to put into ffect in Cuba- FRANCE HITTING BACK friend of Zola the Victim of French 9 Official

in another column has quite as much reason in it as many bills that have received the consideration and ardent support of the members of the present Leg islature In view of the mass of absurd and vicious legislation of fered this will be read with inter est by many and especially by the Doctors friends in Christian county THE prices of wool and farm products generaly have advanced in Wyoming as elsewhere and the Republicans of that State have abandoned the freecoinage of silver plank in their recent State platforms and have come out squarely on the St Louis plat form The increased prosperity under the gold standard has proven too much for the silver proposition TIrE Triumvirs already sit in judgment even before their crea tion by the Goebel Bill to rule the destiny of Kentucky

whipping of another negro with notice served on others to leave the country There is no justification for these outrages and the good citizens of Mayfield condemn the murderous business But the mob spirit has been so well cherished there and elsewhere in Kentucky that it is yet beyond control TUE Dingley law has fulfilled the promise of its framers February is the seventh month of its en forcement and for February it has produced an average of over 1000000 a day The revenue receipts for the month show a sur plus of gi 845358 after all expenses of the Government have been paid Comparing the receipts for the first seven months of the Dingley law with the like period of the Wilson law there is a balance in favor of the Dingley law of 16615743 WE regret that or space is in adequate to produce Gov Brad leys veto message on the McChord Railroad Extortion Bill It is excellent and conclusive and argues that To subject such vast inter ests to the will of three men who are not even required to be prac ticing attorneys or in the slightest degree to be acquainted with the forms of judicial pro edure 1ppears to me tq bci dangerous power the exercise of whichwithout re Si t

to tell but they have the temerity to at tempt to rum anything they choose down the throats of the dear masses and some there be truly who are ever willing vessels for the reception of all such

roads lead Guthrie Capt Mahan on Battleships GlobeDemocratNo living author ity on naval affairs and history is known than Capt A T Mahan the American officer and author His speech before a patriotic or der in New Jersey on the 22d con tains two points of special current interest One is an estimate of probabilities in regard to the loss of the Maine The Captain coun sels coolness and an attitude of waiting for the official report but he speaks and is well qualified to speak concerning the average law of accidents His language is that any man that crosses the ocean in a passenger steamer undertakes- in a week greater risk from collis ion than any seamen on board a ship of war does from explosion in the course of a year He calls attention to the great number of warships afloat all carrying coal and powder and says it is preposterous to assume that be cause the effects of an explosion explosionisopinion points to the extreme im probability which has occurred to many others that so rare an acci dent should happen to the Maine in the harbor of Havana in the hours of darkness and slumber Capt Mahan makes some inter esting and valuable remarks on the advisability of building more battleshIps He favors it without reserve The battleship is an outgrowth of modern naval science It may be sunk by a tor pedo and yet to condemn its con struction is to accept mistaken inferences as to the results of future naval bottles The modern ship of war exists to meet danger and every fighting vessel must take more or less risk It must be judged as a fighting machine and nothing has yet happened to dis prove its superior power and equipment All great navies of the time have been designed to meet contingencies inside as well as outside As an evolution of nearly forty years tire largest armored vessel cannot be properly called an experiment Capt Ma han paid a feeling tribute to the splendid discipline and devotion of navyNaval arc well aware of the weak points of their pcriod i are almost untested They have at least served by formidable arm ament to modify an appetite for war Spain lost three cruisers by accident in 1895 The second class Cristobal Colon ran ashore on the Cuban coast and was a total loss Another cruiser some what smaller was sunk by a collision at Havana with a loss of largestSpanish Spanish board numbering 420 These disasters happened between March and September If the three vessels had been battleships instead of cruisers many articles would have been written in condemna CaptMahansarc in line with the practice in all great modern navies and we should not part company with them without the most convincing reasons I 441 j lKvvix t wav fv I t1 i HEROES OF OUR NAVY Tablet to the Memory of the Vic tims of the Maine TRIBUTE OF SENATOR PERKINS The Sailors of the Navy are the Pride of the Nation Washington March JShortly todayMrmittee on Naval Affairs presented a favorable report npoi Mr Ba cons resolution providing tar the erection in Statuary Hall of the capitol of a bronze memorial tab let commemorative of the officers and sailors who lost their lives in the Maine disaster in Havana liar borIn the course of his report upon the resolution Mr Perkins said Every man who stood beneath the flag of the battleship Maine bat by bis very presence on its decks signified bis will ingness to dia for the defense of the na tion and the maintenance of the national honor lie was ever ready to go where duty called whether to brave tempest uous seas or to return shot for shot with his countrys enemies When death came in tbe awful shape it took in the harbor of Havana the dead are no less heroes than if they bad fallen before hostile guns The living have shown the heroic mold in which all were cast If it were ever fit ting to recognize the devotion to the coun try of brave men It is now fitting to erect a tablet in memory of those who lost their lives in the destruction of the Maine The sailors of the navy have ever been the pride of the nation their heroism has been rec ognized throughout the world and their deeds have brought forth praises from all chivalrous peoples What the sailors of tbe old and glorious fleets of the United States have been arc the sailors of tbe new navy of our country The great disaster at Havana has shown that there exists the indomitable courage which heretofore has made our fleets victorious and which is as surance that victory will stilt follow our flag upon the seas As our fleets are strong and our men are brave so shall we compel and maintain that respect among the na tions which isas

passenger at tbe Seventhstreet depot It was a miracle said he tbat the whole train was not precipitated into a gorge I think we were just a little behind time and were traveling at a high rate of speed The train was wellfilled and was in charge of Conductor Evans Just as the big engine swerved around a long curve the end of which is within a few yards of the approach to a trestle there was a terrific jolt fol lowed by a series of bumps We were waiting for tbe deep plunge and final crash to come when the train suddenly cane to a stop The blood bad frozen in my veins When Conductor Evans came through the train and told the people tbat there was no danger every passenger took a long breath and became himself again A feeling of thankfulness pervaded the whole train An investigation showed tbat a stone weighing over 150 pounds had been rolled into tbe middle of tbe track at the approach of tbe trestle Tbe engine came near run ning off tIe trestle into a gorge The cow catcher was smashed and the crossties were broken The train crew went to work and soon repaired the track Tbe dam agedengine pulled the train into Louis ville The railroad authorities do not believe attempttoat

Commentary by the Rev D SI StearnsCopyright 1S97 by D M Stearns 1 At that tlmo Jesus went on the Sab bath day through tho corn and Ills disci pies worn an hungered and began to pluo1I tho ears of corn and to cat The lesson today touches the Sabbath question the ono which according to all tho gospels determined tho Pharisees to kill Christ See verso 14 Immediately following our lesson then Mark ill 0 Luke vi 11 John v 10 Dr Weston says that tho Sab bath was tho Jewish national Hag other nations practiced circumcision offered sacrifices and had temples and religious rites but In tho Sabbath tho Jews claimed a peculiar relation to Qod as their Creator Redeemer and Rest As tho nation grew In national feeling and prldo and In tho thought of separation from and superiority to other nations they bccamo moro and more tenacious of their Sabbath If wo keep In mind that it was their national honor they were thinking of nnd not tho honor of their God and Ills Word wo shall understand many things otherwise dark 2 But when tho Pharisees saw it they said unto Him Behold Thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do uiwn tho Sabbath day The Sabbaths were a sign between God and Israel not to show how holy and honorable they were but to honor Him and delight in Him and magnify Him If eating a little corn oven fresh from tho field would quiet tho body that tho soul might tho better commnno with God It was wen so to do Sec EL xssl 13 and lea Mil 13 8 But Ho said unto them Havoyo not read what David did when ho was an hungered nnd they that were with him They would hardly wish or darn to find fault with David their great king whom they praised so much oven if they were BO unwilling to recognize tho Son of David anti Davids Lord in Him with whom they now find fault 4 How Ho entered into tho house of Oed and did cat tho shcwbrcnd which was not lawful for Him to cat neither for them that were with Him but only for tho priests God would have us consider the spirit of His law rather than tho ex tremo letter of it Ho would have us to know Him and Ills great heart of love It is bettor to know Him than to bo wise or mighty or rich Ho delights In loving kindness judgment and righteousness Jer Ix 23 24 D 0 Or havo yo not read In tho law how that on tho Sabbath days tho priests in tho temple profane tho Sabbath and are blameless But I say unto you That In this place is one greater than tho temple Thus Ho directs them to their king and priests as both doing that which by the strict letter of the law was forbidden and yet they aro blameless In verses 41 and 43 of this chapter Ho says Ho is greater than Jonah and Solomon Ho now says Ho Is greater than tho temple and implies what Is elsewhere taught that Ho is greater than David or Aaron In Hebrews wo read that Ho is greater than angels or Moses or tabernacle or sacrifice He is our great Priest King 7 But if yo had known what this meanoth I will havo mercy and not sacri flee yo would not havo condemned tho guiltless What a comfort that wo are to havo righteous judgment and our Judgo will not decide by what Ho sees or hears Isa xl 8 4 and will never without cause condemn either a person or n work Let us havo moro of His Spirit remember- Ing I Cor iv 5 8 For the Son of Man is Lord oven of the Sabbath day As Son of Man Ho is Lord of all earthly institutions and tho direct object of all earthly allegiance All things were created by Him and for Him and by Him all things consist Cot I 10 17 Ho shall yet subduo all things unto Himself oven all kings shall fall down be tore hUm and nil nations servo Him I- Con xv 23 Pg Ixxll 11 Wo feel like saying Oh that these people had known Him that they might cheerfully receive Him and submit to Him instead of judg ing Him 0 And when Ho was departed thence Ho went into their synagogue If Ho could not get good Ho would bo where Ho might do good Tho Scriptures wero read in tho synagogues and there Is nothing on earth like tho Word of God Whether those who read sco much or little of God in Ills Worjd Ho is in every pago of it and opened eyes and cars will see and hear Him 10 And behold there was a man which had his hand withered And they asked Him saying Is it lawful to heal on tho Sabbath days that they might accuse Him Tho impotence of tho man was very suggestive of tho spiritual condition of tho nation hut ho knew his condition and they did not They were blind and deaf and lame and palsied and leprous and thought that nothing ailed them but that on tho contrary they were tho only righteous people on earth 11IIAnd Ho said unto them What man shall thcro be among you that shall have ono sheep and If it fall into a pit on the Sabbath day will ho not lay hold on it and lift it out Ono has well suggested that Ho did not say ceo a sheep but havo n sheep tho point is that of ownership Ho is tho Lord of tho Sabbath day Tho law commanded to help creatures not your own if you saw them in trouble Dcutxxil 4 12 How much then is a man better than a sheep Wherefore it is lawful to do well on tho Sabbath lays Better than runny sparrows better than all beasts Gods own property every day and though oft in rebellion against Him yet loved by Him anti watched longingly to see if he will turn to His good and loving God God is good to tho unthankful and to the evil but how llttlo they think that His good ness is intended to lead them to Him 18 Then salth Ho to tho man Stretch forth thino hand Anti ho stretched it forth and it was restored whole like at tho other Tho man could not help him self and ho know it but Jesus healed him instantly lire Pharisees were as helpless to help themselves as this man but they did not know it mill would not Ixjllevo when they were told so continued help less nnd worse they gave place to tho devilThis lesson must include verso 14 for It sets forth their determination because of Christs conduct on this occasion anti also gives tho reason for some changes in Ills teaching or rather Ills

The homo scenes described in the lifo of Christ nre few in number but interesting in character Konu has been of more interest than this ono recorded by Luke where Tesus amid His disciples came to tho homo of Martha anti Mary at Bethany Martha probably being tho older and tho head of tho house began to concern herself with the entertain out of her guests and ns is so often tiro caso with womankind under the circum stances worked herself into n state of high nervous excitement Mary being of n quiet spiritual disposition pre ferred to sit closo to Jesna at His feet to listen to tho words that fell from His lips as Ho talked to His disciples In this position Martha in her excitement chilled Mary for her thoughtlessness and appealed to Christ Himself to bid Mary como and assist her but Christ rebuked Martha for her ovenmsiety about tho unimportant things of lifo and corn mended Mnry for her absorbing interest in tho highest welfare of her being Ho thus teaches us that it is better to got closo by Him and to stay closo by Him than to bo overintciested in mill concerned about tho thing of life which perish with tho usage 1 Wo can get closo to Christ by study ing His word Ho is no longer upon earth in bodily form that wo can sit at His feet as Mary did and listen to His words of matchless wisdom but Ills words havo not all been lost to tho world Many of them havo been recorded and preserved for our uso today Wo can still sit nt His feet and listen to His words if wo will only take tho Bible and read nud study it Its wonderful how little WO appreclato and how care lessly wo use this blessed privilege of listening to thovoicoof Christ Himself 2 We can get clcso to Christ iu prayer Not only can wo read what Jesus has said listeu to Ilia voice in tho Scriptures but wo have tho priceless privilege of talking to Him commun ing with Him in prayer This is n great blessing that wo enjoy and wo blionld not fail to realize it We should spend much timo with Christ in prayer holding soul to soul communion with Him that our dispositions and our characters may become moro and moro liko His Tho ono aim of our lives should be to be moro like Christ Tho closer wo keep to Him in thought and word and deed the more like Him wo will become It is His desire that wo should bo like Him that Ho anti wo should bo ono and one also with God Let us therefore study thoroughly anti

patriotism and human- Ity which Chairmen Jones Butltr and Towne simultaneously emitted it now appears were the result of long conferences and consultations not only as between themselves but with all the members of the little group of officeseekers each one of whom was carefully selected for the particular ollice which it is now proposed that this combination shall grab through the fusion which its spokesmen are urging- It is learned from inside sources that the detailed plans of the men now urging fusion are as follows California Senator White the new Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committe who wants to succeed himself as Senator is cordially cooperating with this fusion movment The plan outlined by the triumvirs to commend the members of their respective parties
