Gallon , which has been issued ns part of Apploton's Town and Country library. Mr. Gallon has proved his Im aginative quality In bis previous books , but "Tho Kingdom of Hate" shows more vividly than the others the arresting effect of Imagination , romantic , but controlled , which Illuminates the dramatic possibilities of modern life. This power , which Stevenson - son and Hope have Illustrated In different ways. Is shared 'by Mr. Gallon , whoHe new novel Is absorbing without resorting to the cheap sensationalism , singularly stirring and effective without a descent Into the melodrama , and sympathetic with out sentlmcntallsm. Mr. Gallon has i made his mark already and "Tho Kingdom ' of iHate" will raise the question whether the time of his "arrival" Is not close at hand. D. Applcton & Co. , Now York.

The great Interest shown in "Equality , " na the fullest exposition of Mr. Bellamy's social and economic beliefs , has been Intensified by the progress of events since the original publication.

Whllo the reading public is very familiar with the writings ot Mr. Bellamy it may be of inter est In this connection to mention a few facts regarding the author's life. He was born In Chlcopeo Falls , Mass. , in 1850 and died at his home In the spring of 18D8. Ho was educated at Union college and was admitted to the bar In 1871. His Inclination , however , was for literature rather than for the law. For several years ho was engaged In journal ism and story writing. He published his first book In 1877. D.

It breathes of the woods , the fields , the eeu , the ponds , the streams , that to gether constitute the birds' highway. Ho has reveled with nature In the winter und the summer. The birds have been to him. a solace that is not found In the more con ventional world that la known to everyone who is doomed to dwell In the cities , but out of'tH * comparatively unftnown world ho baa contrived to make bis 'own , and which ho lies put Into his pagca. He > has got ten & charming world of pleasure that moro than repays the seeming chcerleee ventures Into the winter 'woods , among the summer beeches and along the August sand dunes of Ipswich. If there Is nothing Inspiring in nature to lure and allure , the parting of the enow In order to penetrate Into nature's sanctuary is wearying. The sweet notes of a flock of goldfinches gleaning a morning meal In truly boreal sfylo will fall on dull cars. A flock of crows that flap slowly by , their dark shadows betraying them on the snow will seem commonplace. The song sparrow will sing to himself of the spring that la to be without heed. The blue jay , the rcd- I shouldered hawk , the nuthatch nnd downy and . number of chickadees , n flock of winter | robins feeding on the vermllllon berries of i tbo black alder of the- brook ; all these and others similar will bo without pleasing slg- I nlllcance unless ono Is tuned In harmony wllh such things.

DISORDER AMONG DEMOCRATS Three DcrcIoiinicnlN In the Situation nt CIilcnKO HrliiBKUutloii to tlic Ilniikii. CHICAGO , July 18. Three political developments stirred the democrats In Chicago cage yesterday. Ono was the refusal of Mayor Harrison on account of Its ' 'obscure" origin to attend and deliver an address of welcome at the Auditorium frco silver meet ing on Thursday night. The second was a verbal notice that the democratic national committee would bo asked to repudiate the Croker-Hlll-Murphy machine In New York and recognize the silver crowd. The third was the statement that an effort would bo made to have a rule adopted that no man who bolted the Chicago platform and ticket In 1806 shall bo eligible to elt in the na tional convention of 1000 as a delegate. On arriving at his olllco In the city hall Mayor Harrison found W. P. Coolings , in vitation to make a speech of welcome to tbe assembled local and visiting democrats on Thursday night. He declined the proffered honor. Efforts are being * made by the Harrison risen leaders to Induce as many ot the na tional comraltteemen as possible to Ignore the meeting.

He cornea as one of a committee of the ellvcr party In New York , to appear before the national body and get a lioaring ns to what the situa tion Is In that state. James n.

Mr. Abbott said that a great majority of the rank and file of the party in Now York is in favor of the " 16 to 1" issue and of W. J. Bryan for president. "Croker , Hill and Murphy , the leaders , " Uo continued , "are opposed to free silver and Bryan , but they do not represent the sentiment of the ma jority of the voters.

HURTS DELAWARE INDIANS Oomplain of an Attempt to Hob Thtm of Homes and Improvements. WHITE MEN ARE AFTER THEIR LANDS I'roiiertlen lAoa'ilrrtl frinn ilic Kcilernl Cot eminent In Unnucr of Swnllowril I'tv by n Si nillvntc. WASHINGTON' , July IS. ( Special Corre spondence. ) Certain Chcrokces nnd inter married whlto men , relatives of the consti tuted authorities of the Cherokee- Nation , liavo secured mineral leases from the eald authorities covering the homes nnd im provements ot the Delaware Indians , and they have subleased the same to citizens ot the United States. These citizens claim to liavo expended some twenty odd thousand dollars in putting down eighteen wells , nnd for thin reason they claim a preferred right to lease from the secretary of the interior over 180,000 ncres of land , covering most of the homes ot the Delaware Indians , without respect to their rights nnd without their consent. A number ot protests have been filed against the granting of these leases nnd calling the attention of the secretary ot the Interior to the exact condition of affairs , begging that no action bo taken until the courts fully determine the rights ot the Del n , wares and congress provides a remedy. R. C. Adams , himself a Delaware' Indian and their representative , eays that ho wrote the letter to the .Indian Rights association which caused so much comment , but that ho did not suppceo that It would be given out for publication. However , ho says he has nothing to retract In his appeal for aid and for moral support in defending the homes of the Delawares against the encroaching greed ot grasping syndicates who are seek ing to deprive them of their rightful liber ties the right to control their own. Mr. Adams said : 'It'n ' a Grcnt PuXzlo tn Him. The Delaware Indians nro more able to take care of their property. If given the opportunity of controlling It , than most of the while people who live In their country. There nro many things civilized laws and public policy say are right that I canont un derstand , but the greatest puzzle to mo Is why Is the Delawarcs' tltlo to their lands now disputed and they required by the gov ernment to appeal to the courts to obtain that which they bought nnd paid for .vltu the advice , approval1 nnd guarantee of the United States government itself. Now , l > e- fore that question la settled by the courts they are threatened with oven greater com plications. Possibly it Is because I am nn Indian that I cannot understand this parley. The faith my people have shown , the prompt aid and assistance they have rendered the United States government in the past us allies tn the Revolutionary war , ns soldlns and scouts In the Mexican nnd Civil wirs , as guides for General Fremont across the Rocky mountains , as peacemakers between other Indian tribes -ud the Federal govern ment , and the prolition afforded by them to the colonies In early days , all these aio enough of themselves to entitle them to moro land in bounties and grants , fifty times over , than the land now In question , which they bought nnd paid for. In 1890 the Cherokee delegates fully recognized the Delawares' tltlo to the lands , and in a communication to the senate com mittee on Indian affairs , they declared they had no rights or interest In it. The same year the chief of the Cherokee Nation , J. B. Maycs , and delegates , addressed a communi cation to the committee on Indian affairs asking that the United States government pay out per capita to the Delawares the trust fund , almost $1,000,000 , belonging to them , and the reason assigned , for this request was tint the Delawarcs might be enabled to make permanent Improvements upon their homes in the Cherokee Nation. This large sum of money was paid out to the Delawares according to the request and the Delawares used the same in making good and substan tial homes. An investigation revealed the fact that the Dclawarea have excellent homes and moro than 100,000 acres of land in cultivation , al though numbering less than 1,000 souls. Their land Is rich with valuable mineral de posits , such as lubricating oils , gas , coal , etc. Representative Davis says this Is their misfortune , since they are Indians , because they have no money left In the hands of the government , and , if deprived of their rights In the Cherokee Nation , they are paupers. If , however , the Dolawares should succeed In winning on the lines they are now fightIng - Ing they will bo among the richest people in the world. Find They Are lit n Unil Hole. As Is known , the Chorokces are the wealthiest nation of Indians In the world. They have a largo fund In the hands of the government , and this has been made larger by money contributed by the Delawnrcs , who claim an Interest In the fund , but have no means of obtaining any portion of It to defend what they contend for as their rights. In a word , the Delawarea find themselves in a bad hole. They are disarmed , having by purchase and improvements invested over 11,000,000 in Cherokee lands under the guarantee of the protection of the govern ment , as well as eacrcd pledges made by the Chcrokces. The now almost extinct tribe of Indians are confronted with this startling condition of affairs and , nro making vigorous efforts to have themselves righted. If tbo government decides that the companies or syndicates have preferred rights to lease over 180,000 acres of land , embracing' most of the homes of the Delaware Indians , and upon which they have expended moro than $1.000,000 , then they are practically paupers. Ropro- eentatlve Adams says that the claims of the would-be lessees that they have expended about $20,000 , and If compelled to lose It they would bo forced to a great hardship , should not bo taken Into consideration when It Is remembered that they are trespassers and should be compelled to ipay the Dela wares damages , llo says that the full- blooded Cherokees are friends of the Dela wares and oppose any further leasing of lands in the Cherokee nation , but that It Is the mixed bloods and Intermarried white men In combination with capitalists from tbo states who are trying to pauperize the Delawares. The fight Is on and Mr , Adams Bays that whllo ho has spent largo sums of money and made many personal sacrifices In defending - fending the rights and protecting the Inter- csts of the Delawarcs , ho proposes to keep it up. He BBJH that ho has reviewed their history and tbo events ( elating to them and their dealings and that ho has not found one thing which could possibly tic construed as a discredit to them. llcimtlfiil Women.
