MUST DEPEND ON CONFERENCE FOR THAT Mackey of Omaha Otm Hla Dla r front the Ravy on Ae lit a( Phra'ral Disability, i (From a Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON. May U.-(Speeial Tele Tm.) Th legislative position of the bill to open the Rosebud reservation In South Dakota under the substitute offered In the Bouse to the senate measure, gives the bill ratner an interesting standing. Under the nouae substitute the bill does not contain the proposition for free homes which la embodied In the senate measure, but does contain a commutation provision, which the senate knocked out. Representative Burke. who has been actively interested In the Measure, probably could have obtained a favorable report from the house committee en Indian affairs on the free homes fea ture of the senate bill, but It would have been at the expense of In fluential support. . Chairman Sherman of the committee and Major Lacey of Iowa, two of the very strongest members of the committee, are opposed to free homes and should Mr. Burke Insist upon carrying, the free homes feature through by the aid of democratic votes he would have lost the support of the gentlemen named. A minor ity report would In all probability have been filed, which would have made It prec tlcally Impossible to have secured consider ation at the hands of the speaker. Under present conditions the chances arc very much In favor of It receiving considera tion, although that will depend largely on Mr. Sherman Inducing the speaker to give the Indian committee a day for the con sideration of bills which have been re ported from that committee and are now on the calendar. Should consideration be given, which now seems probable, the bill opening the portion of the Rosebud agency in Gregory county. South Dakota, will un doubtedly pes the house, thereby getting Into conference, where It is hoped that the free homes provision as passed by the sen ate will be adopted. , Colonel Hepburn of the Eighth Iowa dis trict has been active in behalf of George Van Houton of Lenox, Taylor county, late secretary of the Iowa Agricultural aociety.

MiWtN V 1 1 BV ' ' THE OMAHA The First Bold Stroke for CHAPTER I. The history of the first American revolu tion against European royal authority has yet to be written. Its objects have been overlooked or obscured; the names of its martyrs almost forgotten and its Import snce so little sppreclated that where It Is mentioaed at all In histories of the United States It Is dismissed with a sentence. Yet eight years before the Declaration of Inde pendence was adopted at Philadelphia the men who planned the first North American republic had been fusilladed at New Orleans and their protest against absolutism had been burned la the public square to make an end forever of sedition and republican ism. The words of Lafrenlere's "declara tion" which the Spanish authorities thought thua to consume were not less bold than thoae of Jefferson. "The solidity of thrones," he wrote, "Is In proportion to the extent of commerce and population. Both are fed by liberty and competition which are the nursing mothers of the state, of which the spirit of monopoly Is the tyrant and step-mother. Without liberty there are few vlrtuea. Despotism breeds pusillanimity and deepens the abyss of vice." It wss In the support of this principle on which the constitution of the United State was afterward based that on October 25, 1769, Nicholas Chauvla de Lafrenlere, with his associates In the attempt to estab lish the first American republic Joseph Mllhet, Pierre Marquis, Jean Baptist Noyan and Pierre Caresse, were executed as rebels and traitors against France and Spain. Lafrenlere, their leader, was a man of great ability and of such boldness that had he been supported as James Otis was when his protest against "writs of assistance" made even John Adams "shudder at the consequence of such premises," the "Re public of Louisiana" might have been the first state of the American union. But if Otis In Massachusetts wss so much in ad vance of the public sentiments of the New Englsnd colonists In declaring the opinions held also by Lafrenlere, that even Adams was alarmed for the consequences, it Is not to be wondered that after having expelled the Spanish governor, Lafrenlere was left almost alone against the overwhelming forces of the Spanish armament, at a time when the entire province of Louisiana could not have mustered S,000 fighting men. As th American re6lutlon against Eng land began with declarations of steadfast loyalty to the king of England and pro gressed slowly toward republicanism under the plotting of a few "extremists" who were at first resisted, ao also the move ment which undertook to establish the Re public of Louisiana began aa a demonstra tion of loyalty to Louis, the Well Beloved, and progressed through its first success to Us final collapse and th martyrdom of Its leaders through the workings of an Inner circle of republicans whose plans were so well guarded that even historians of Louisi ana almost lose sight of the design of estab lishing a republic as the object of the revo lution. It is remarkable that full Justice Is done to the revolutionists only by their enemies. The scope of their statesmanship was mora fully appreciated In the cabinet of the king of Spain than It has been in America, either in their own generation or la this. When after th expulsion of the Spanish governor, Don Antonio de Vlloa, and the establishment of the "superior council" as the power In the civil govern ment of Louisiana, th king of Spain called for the advice of his ministers, asking them to give their arguments for and against the abandonment of Spanish claims to the con trol of the colony, th Count Aranda, then reckoned the' ablest statesman of Spain, directed hie argument almoat wholly, not against the possibilities of French reoccupa tlon of th colony, but against the INDIA! IK OFFICE. Red Men Have Filled Many Positions with Ability. An examination of th record of the In dian office, aya th Washington Times, shows that red men have filled official po sitions of lmportsnc with, signal ability. Indeed, the man who first performed du ties corresponding to those of th Indian commissioner of today waa a full-blooded Mohtgan named Sampson Occam. He was born in 1723 and died in 1792. and waa ordained a minister of the gospel In 1769. While ho never held an official po sition In the strlot sense of the term, he had exclusive charge of Indian missions in cotpnlsl times, thua occupying a posi tion measurably corresponding to that of commissioner of Indian affairs. He was well educated, author of various writings, and waa well received on the occasion of a visit he paid to England. Perhapa the most conspicuous figure among th. North American Indiana who have held official positions waa Tecumseh, or Tecumtha. He waa born in 1768 and killed at the battl of the Thames In 1813. He held positions under th British crown as brigadier general In command of a British-Indian tore of 2.000 and waa a full blooded Shawnee. The Cherokee chief. Stand Wait, born 1815. died 1877, bad a slight strain of white blood. He we a colonel, and afterward brigadier general in the confederate army, commandng an Indian brigade of two regi ments and three batteries. The Cherokee are aald to rank the highest today of the Indian tribes In ths United States. They were ordinarily on of tb Flv Nations of th Atlantic coast, and had made consid erable advancement in civilisation. Their native language la similar to the Iroquois. Though retarded in progress by their trans fer, with other Indiana of the Flv Na tions, to a desolat country, new and atrange to them, beyond the Mississippi, they hav advanced more rapidly than any other tribe In this country. Sequol, also called George Ouess, a full-blooded Chero kee, Invented for his people an alphabet, simple but complete, in 1824. With a printed language this tribe haa developed a literature peculiarly Its own. Most of ths Cherokee have received aa Indian ed catlon. th wealthier member of the trtbe sending tbelr children to the best eastern schools.

DAILY IlEEt MONDAY, American Revolution Liberty in Louisiana Prior to Spanish Occupation. consequences of the establishment of an independent American republic. What he says, as it is recorded In the state papers of Spain, may be taken aa a sufficient vindication of the revolutionists and as the most authentic official definition of then motives. In the written statement which he submitted to the royal council on March 22, 1769. Count Aranda says, after reviewing the treaty of cession from Prance to 8paln and commenting on the value of Louisiana as a colony: "The Insurrection at New Orleana seems to be an object of the greatest Importance, not only for the reasons which have been expressed above, but on account of Its con sequences. Its situation In the Oulf of Mex ico; tts being already aa It were, a European town by Its population and Its being con verted Into a free port, which no doubt would be the case, would attract thither large numbers from Europe; and consider ing that a republic In Louisiana would be Independent from all European powers. It would then become the Interost of all to keep on term of amity with her, and to support her existence. The favorable posi tion In which Louisiana would then be placed, would not only Increase her popula tion, but also enlarge her limits, and trans form her Into a rich, flourishing and free state In sight of our provinces, which would present the melancholy contrast of ex haustion and want of cultivation. From th example under their eyes, the Inhabitants of our vast Mexican domains would be led to consider their utter want of commerce, the extortions of their different governors, the little esteem In which they are held, the few offices which they are permitted to fill would weight the great Inducements which they would have to hate still more the Spanish domination and to think they ran brave It with more security, when they shall see that a province, weak when com pared with their extensive and populous country, can make good her position with Impunity and secure her prosperity." After this remarkable and prophetic dec laration, that the superior prosperity and happiness of the people of Louisiana under republican government would result In the loss to Spain of Ita crown colonies In Amer ica, Count Aranda recommended that the full military power of Spain be exerted to crush the revolutionists and prevent the establishment of the contemplated republic. No higher tribute has been paid to the mo tives of Lafrenlere and his associate, un less Indeed. It was the fusillade from Span ish musketa, with which Count O'Reilly at tempted to make impossible forever th re publican prosperity and happiness which Count Aranda had prophesied as the cause of the future loss 'of Mexico. The story of Lafrenlere a a revolution ist and republican conspirator, which ended for the time being with his execution under O'Reilly, began when aa attorney general of the colony under Louis XV, (the "Well Beloved,") be read the letter In which the king announced to Governor L'Abbadle that France had abandoned North America to England and Spain. After telling the gov ernor of the "private act passed at Fon talnbleau on November 3rd, 1762," th king continued that of his own free will, be had "ceded to his very dear and well-beloved cousin, the king of Spain, and to his suc cessors and heirs. In full property com pletely and without reserve or restriction all the country known aa Louisiana, and also New Orleans, with th island on which It la .situated." He commanded Oovernor L'Abbadle to put Spain in full possession, but the governor, after, living long enough to witness the. grief of Ais .colonists at the abandonment by France - of Us magnificent empire In America, and to feel the Indigna tion they felt "at being bartered away aa marketable objects," died on February 4th, 1765, five months after he had published the' royal letter. LOVE OF SHAM AND HUMBUG. A Defense of Trick Common la Many Trade. Packers of cherries select th largest fruit and make a. neat layer of It In th bottom of the box, relates th Ssn Fran cisco Bulletin. They then tumble smaller cherries upon that layer and ao fill up ths box. The box la then turned upside down snd the bottom layer becomes the top. When exposed for sal on a fruit stand the closely packed, symmetrical rows of large, handsome cherries are vary attractive. But It costs th farmer about 15 cents to pack a box In that way, and a box, ao packed. Is sold for about 30 cent more at retail In the city than a box which haa been filled by throwing the cherries Into It haphazard. Exactly the same quantity and quality of cherries are In each box. The only differ ence between th box which coata 60 cent and th box which coats 30 cents is the arrangement of the top layer. Every buyer of cherries Is awaro that below the symmetrical layer of large cherries are the smaller cherries. Nobody Is deceived by the packing. But th majority of people insist on buying the carefully packed box for 60 cents, and they resent an attempt by a fruiterer to sell them the 30-cent box, although they know It is Just aa good. Thla fact touchea upoa a curious trslt of human nature. Social philosophers de plore the tricks of trade and rail against the fraud and deoelt which are th every day atns of commerce, but they do not possess the salesmen's knowledge of men and women. Social philosophers will not recognise th truth that the public not only likes to be humbugged, but Insists on being humbugged, and will not patronize a dealer who ta too scrupulous to lie about his goods. Even in cases when the humbuggery does not deceive, aa in the packing of cherries, the public requires the tradesman to pre tend, at least, to deceive It and Is willing to pay a double price on account of the pre tense. Most wine dealers find It necessary to hav two or three different nrleea for th same quality of claret. A customer will asa mem ror a sample or good claret, and thsy will give him a claaa nf in.ni wine. "How much a gallon Is this?" he will inquire, "rirty cents." th salesmen will reply. "Oh, I must bars something better," the customer declarea. "I have a special claret here for 75 cents." says the dealer. "It may be rather costly, but It Is a marvel ous wine. Try tills." and ha a-lv. h. customer a glass from th very same bottle. in customer alps, rolls his eyes, smacks his Hps and pronouncea th claret n... ful and worth th difference in price. "Bend m a barrel of It." he orders. This may b sharp dealing, but what can th tradesman do? If he were frank with hla customer be would loi a sals and a less conscientious rival down the street would get the custom er's business. All tradesmen know that the packing of goods hss much to do with their sale. Half th prlc of moat articles is for th. . ths wrapper.

The control of Louisiana as a royal col ony, was vested at the time not only in the governor who commanded the military. but In a auperlor council, which had large share in the administration of civil affairs. In the revolution which followed this council took the place of th House of Burgesses in th Virginia revolution and that of the various assemblies In the first movements of revolution In the New EngUca rrlonles. The) republican move ment In Louisiana, however, was unique in that It was headed by the king's attorney general, who when h found the liberties of Louisiana opposed by the kings, both of France and Spain, attempted to lead the people of the colony Into revolt against both. Lafrenlere, who thus takes his place In history as the first republican of the first American revolution, was by birth an American, sprung from the same class which afterward produced Jackson and Lin coln. Qayarre wrltea that he waa a native of Louisiana, and of an obscure family that his father waa a "poor Canadian who had followed Bienville to Louisiana' and had there "by dint of Industry" ob tained meana enough to send his son to be educated in France. This statement haa been challenged by a commentator, who writes, "Nicholas Chauvin de Lafreojer was oi a Dome iamuy, aa is proved by nis title," but th Spanish governor, Ulloa, la his report of the revolution, declares that Lafrenlere's father waa a Canadian, one of four brothers, whose family name waa Leroy, of "so low an extraction and of so little education that they could not write, and had come, ax on ahoulder, to live by manual labor." These four brothers changed their name in Louisiana, and were known as Lafrenlere, Lery, Beaulleu and Chauvin. "The sons of these are now chiefs and author of the rebellion," adds Ulloa, in attempting to demonstrate that the spirit or revolt had originated with the lower classes. The son of the Canadian axman had made auch good us of bis op portunities that he waa the leading orator and lawyer of the colony and the king's attorney general, with an almost supreme control In the upper council, when on July 10, 1765, Don Antonio de Ulloa wrote from Havana that he had reached that place on his way to New Orleana to take posses sion of the colony for his "most (Jbrlstlan majesty," This letter forced a rapid development of the movement which had begun spon taneously on the publication of the letter written by the king of France to Oovernor l'Abbadle. Immediately after the publica tion of that letter, a convention had been called at New Orleana. Held In 1765, ita delegatea were chosen from the parishes of Lower Louisiana, and it was one of the first delegate conventions resulting spon taneously from the people, in the territorlty which now forma the United States. Its leading spirits were: Lafrenlere,' Pierre Marquis, Balthaaar Massan, Jean Baptiate Noyan and the brothers Jean and Joseph Milhet. The former, who was the wealthiest merchant of the colony, waa choeen as a representative of tb people of the colony and sent to France to urge the ministry to recede from the treaty with 8pain. Aa a consequence of the cession to Eng land, which accompanied that to Spain, the unfortunate French inhabitants of Acadia, who had been expelled bjt England, were now beginning to arrive idj Louisiana, and the spectacle of their misery after their long jouraey from Nova Scotia, excited the feeling of revolt to a still higher pitch and it waa kept intense before Ulloa' ar rival by the presence) of English war ves sels in the Mississippi, and by their habit of firing their guns in "salute" when pass ing New Orleans. (To Be Continued.) will buy them. Consequently, he must turn out the showy, though less serviceable. articles which pleas the publlo taste. Humbuggery, In some degree, is a neces sary part of every business, profession and handicraft. A preacher must draw a long face sometimes, when he feels more like joking, and must express opinions which be may not believe, but which are traditional In the pulpit. A doctor who wore a sack coat on his professional rounds, told hypo chondrlacs that their pains were Imaginary and called a colic by Its plain name would never succeed. People desire him to wear a frock coat, to have a solemn snd, thought ful mien, to exaggerate the gravlfV of their ailments and never to use English words when he can employ the Latin terminology. A lawyer must never tell a client much about the law of a case, but must be very reticent and very mysterious and must Im press the client with the idea that a lay man cannot understand the point Involved Above all, he must charge a good fee for hla services or th client will cease to respect or trust him. If bs omits these de tails of conduct a lawyer will never be even decently paid for hla work, and be will have grumbling, haggling, auspicious clients. Thla same love of humbug even obvious humbugcauses actors, politicians, public men or every class to bring Influence to bear on newspaper In order to obtain puffs wnicn tney ao not merit. Why will a man pay a dollar a tin tor printed praise, writ ten at hla solicitation and not likely to help nim in nuainess, snd read It aloud to him self with keen delight? Why do people take pleasurs In the company of flatterers and Insincere persons whom they know to b toadlea and hypocrites? Why is ths world full of obvious but successful shams? Very likely th universal lov of humbug Is founded on the vanity of human nature. Men accept and enjoy these obvious deceits, lies, flatteries and shams, perhaps, as acts or homage to themselves. IMMIGRANT GIRLS' miESD. Charitable Work o( Woman Who Meets Incoming Shins. There ar probably no clrcumatancea un der which tb larga-heartedness or Boaton ; Is more evident than those that at- 1 Je landing of Immigrants, relates the I n Globe. This Is especially true alnce ti omea who represent different chsrlta bl , societies have made it a part of their routine to be at the Cunard and Dominion docks upon the arrival of each steamship to assist th government officials in th car of ateerage passengers. Miss Ellen McOurty Is tb agent aent to the iteamshlp plera by the Charitable Irish and the St. Vincent de Paul societies to supervise ths work which thss womea do among the Immigrant girls who reach this port and who ar in need or protection. The majority or these immigrant girls are oung, and many of them ar attractive in their appearance. They com to America rrom all or the principal countriea or Europe- Sometime they hav heard or Miss McOurty before they arrive her, and, upon disembarking, they will Inquire ror her If sbs does not meet them at once. This work which Miss McOurty performs so satisfactorily la difficult. Involving many a long day s labor that begins esrly In the morning and doea not nd until 16 o'clock, and aometlmes even later, In th night. So eonscleatloua and aarnest 1 she that shs Is unwilling to leav th dock until all who rightly com under her supervision hav been provided for. The terag Ilnt of a foreign steamship William Jennings Bryan is in Cuba; to ""describe President Palma's Inaugu ration for Collier's Weekly always Is large. Out of thla number ther muet always be a few who do not find friends awaiting them upon their arrival. Those who are left over when night come are lodged In the ateerage until the follow ing day. Then the girls, whose destination is a local one, are transferred to the Im migrants home in East Boston, which is in charge of the missionary, Mrs. A. C. Clark. The gray nuns also take some of these girls snd care ror them until situa tions can be found for them. When Miss McOurty haa connected the detained passengers with their waiting friends, which is done by taking the namea or the former from the carda that have been given them by the inspectors and calling these out for recognition by those who stand in file on the dock, the holdera of cards bearing the letter S. I. and tbelr friends are aent by her to appear before the government's commissioners ror special examination. There are varloua reaaona Why immi grant are detained before they are given their discharge carda. Lack of funds, au Imperfect address or failure on the part of friends to claim a new arrival always re sults in the detention of a steerage pas senger until his case haa been cleared up by the commissioner. Miss McOurty's experience with chart- table work dates from the yesr 1894. when she waa engaged by the Society of St. Vin cent de Paul to take charge of the cases of destitute children which came before that aociety. Two yeara later, when thla organization, In connection with the Chari table Irish aociety, voted to relieve the Young Women'a Christian association or a part or the work which it waa doing ror the protection of Immigrant girls. Miss Mc Ourty was appointed to the position that ahe now fills, still retaining her connection with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and continuing her work In behalf of desti tute children. When she first took up her duties at th steamahip plera there were more girls who came to thla country having no friend here to meet them upon their arrival than there are at the present time. ARIZONA RABBIT HUNT. Big Ronndas Condneted by Indians In th Gila Valley. A horde or bowling copper-colored brsvea, a dens mass or long-eared, gray furred rabblta, a dozen flights of arrows, and then an onslaught with bsavy mes-aulte-wood clubs; an acra of ground cov ered with heaps of dead rabbits, a feast on th slain, then the sleep of the glutton; such In brief is the conclusion or the an nual jack-rabbit hunt or the Pima and Mar icopa allied tribe or Arizona.

On ths Oils River reservstion, twenty miles south of Phoenix, the greatest round up of rabblta ever known within the mem ory of th oldest Indian in th Gila Valley took place last Tuesday. The rabblta, this year, hav been particularly destructive to ths Indian crops and It waa with the hope of driving the Jack rabbit rrom the lower valley that the big roundup wa, held. From the Salt River reservation came nearly a hundred bucks and rrom all parte or the reservation along ths Gila, not rewer than 400 men and boys were present for ths chase. Early In the morning the hunt ers gathered and at daybreak tb chas began. A party of tourlat from th cast cam from Phoenix to aee It and wer guests of Chief Hermo. From a hlch butt they watched th roundup and than hurriedly mounted and rode In as tb circl narrowed and com together. It waa a motly crowd that herded th Jacks.

In less than two hours the line had closed In on the quarry, and a tumbling, panlc-atrlcken lot or rabblta tossed about In the apace within it. At a signal from Chief Antone a volley of arrows flew Into the center of the ctrcle. Volley followed volley and then two score small boys went Into action. With clubs alone thv nm. pleted the slaughter. In less than an hour me work waa completed and the count began. More than 1.200 rabblta made up the bag and the dajr had broken the tribal record. Chief Antone explained to the whites that more than 1,000 Jacka bad never been killed In a day's bunt before. In two hours the feast begsn and the boiled meat waa hurried fotn th. .nn,..k. of hungry hunters. The meat of the young jca is mucn like that or the cottontail, th rabbit or th east, while the flavor of the older meat la unpleasant to whites. The Indians, though, make no dlptlnctlon, and for two daya the feasting continued. Part of th meat waa dried for winter use and the fura made Into blankets. HI Boay Private Secretary.
