WASHINGTON, Nov. 2j. The an
nual report of Secretary Ethan Allen
Hitchcock of the Interior department
aws made public today. It endorses
the conclusions submitted by Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs Jones regard
ing the present Indian educational sys
tem. The secretary says:
"The management of the Indian ser
vice in the field and in Ihe schools,
while satisfactory under existing con
ditions, is not deemed to be the best
for the welfare of the Indians and
different methods will hereafter be
adopted. This policy, as hereinafter
indicated, contemplates requiring the
working 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 disabil
ity, physical or otherwise; the discon
tinuance of the issue of rations to
those known and determined to be
able to support themselves and the
extension to the latter of every pos
sible aid for their well-being and en
couragement; the inauguration of in
dustrial training in all schools where
not now established, so that such In
dians of both sexes may be taught the
trades or industries adapted to their
circumstances."
The income of the various In
dian tribes from all sources during the
year aggregated 5,338,S80, a falling
off of $260,952, mostly due to the ex
piration of treaty obligations. In the
future full leasing privileges will be
confined to those whose disability or
inability actually disqualifies them
from working more than a small part
of their allotments, those conditions
to be clearly shown ; all other allottees
to be required to work at least forty
acres of their allotment.
On the question of reclamation of
the arid region the secretary says:
"The investigations which have been
carried on demonstrate that there is
no one question now before the peo
ple of the United State3 of greater im
portance than the conservation of the
water supply and the reclamation of
the arid lands of the west and their
settlement by men who will actually
build homes and create communities."
It is recommenced that construction
at once be begun as follows:
The San Carlos storage reservoir, re
claiming 100,000 acres or more of pub
lic lana at an estimated cost of $1,
040,000; reservoirs in the Sierra Ne
vada in California, for reclaiming des
ert lands in Nevada, the division of
St. Mary river into the headwaters of
Milk river in Montana. An appropri
ation cf $2o0,000 is asked to carry on
the hydrographic work of the peolog
ical survey.
The report says that the act of June
3, 18S7, known as the timber and stone
act, if not repealed or radically amend
ed, will result ultimately in the eora
plefe destruction of the timber on the
unappropriated and unreserved public
lands. The time has arrived, accord
ing to the secretary, when reservoirs
must be built and managed as a part
of a national system of water conser
vation. They cannot be successful If
maintained, however, without a thor
ough system of forest protection. The
introduction of practical forestry on
the forest reserves has now begun.
The general policy as announced In
an outline memorandum to the com
missioner of the land office is that ad
ditional forest reserves with bounda
ries drawn to liberate the small
amount of script should be created
during this winter, the good will of
residents in the reserves should be
gained, forest fires guarded against
and the resources of the reserves
should be made available for the con
servative use of the people. -

Stronghold oa a Cliff.
MANILA, P. I., Nov. 2$, Captain
Edward P. Lawton's company of the
Nineteenth infantry has attacked and
captured an insurgent fort on Bohol
island, south of Cebu, In the Vlzayan
group.
This fort was surrounded oa all
sides by a precipice and the only en
trance to the higher ground was
guarded by a stockade with a iine of
entrenchments behind it. Captain
Law ton sent Sergeant AIcMahon and
twenty men to climb the precipice and
attack the fort in the rear. Sergeant
McMahon's party accomplished their
task after three hours' climbing
through the thick undergrowth of
brush and vines that covered the al
most perpendicular cliff. " They took
be enemy by surprise and drove
them from the fort As the insurgent's
escaped they had to pass the re
mainder of Captain Lawton's company
at a distance of 150 yards. There the
enemy suffered terrible losses.
The insurgents defended themselves
with both cannon and rifles. The can
non were captured, the smaller ones
were removed while the larger ones
were buried. Captain Lawton, in his
regular report, makes special mention
for bravery of Sergeants List and Mc

MIDNIGHT SUN ORDER

TltE PLOT HATCHED CUNNINGLY
Coaaplraton Had Planned to Take Daw

Next Mora Wa to Loot the CUT anil
Pillage Property.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 23. The
Times prints the following from Vic
toria, B.C.:
There was an organized conspiracy
to seize Dawson, secure the barracks
of the Northwest mounted police with
their arms and ammunition, loot the
banks and pillage the property of the
rich northern gold fields. These facts
are confirmed.
James Seeley, formerly of this city,
now heai of the secret service of the
Northwest mounted police, who is in
this city, says that not only was there
a conspiracy to overthrow Canadian
rule in the Yukon and loot Dawson,
but the scheme hatched by the con
spirators was a very feasible one and
had its existence not been discovered
by the secret service of the Yukon and
nipped in the bud, the conspirators
could have accomplished their purpose
and after taking Dawson could have
held that place and the Yukon for six
weeks or two months and by then
they would be overwhelmed and each
man of the raiders would be a fugitive
from the avengers.
The conspiracy was born at Dawson
and bad a branch at Skagway, but no
existence in any other point to the
south of Skagway, although efforts
were made to secure the assistance
of pro-Boer sympathizers in Seattle
and other points in the United States.
It was at Dawson that the plot was
made last summer. Several Americans
who had drifted to Dawson got to
gether and formed an organization
which was called the Order of the
Midnight Sun. A number of others
were gathered in and the order grew
until there were several hundred ad
herents in September when the mem
bers of the secret service in the
Yukon became aware of its existence.

JI MPS INTO BLAST FURNACE
Coldcatlfled Man Take Till Method of
Committing Sulfide.
PITTSBLRG, Nov. 22. A few min
utes after midnight an unidentified
man threw himself headlong into one
of the furnaces at Schoenberger's
mills. Fourteenth and Aetna streets.
Almost his entire body was roasted
beyond identification, his left foot be
ing the only part not disfigured. A
few moments before midnight the
man was seen to enter the mill yards
and stand at the foot of the hoist
ing car which carries ore, coke and
other supplies for the furnace. The
moment that a warning was sounded
for the cage to ascend with its bur
den three workmen saw the suicide
jump on the platform and stand with
in a few feet of them. They were
confused and did not know what to
think of him, as no one but employes
is allowed on these cages. When the
top of the furnace was reached, nearly
100 feet from the level, a workman
determined to order him away. The
huge crib was opened to allow tin
car of coke to roll Into the furnace
and the bell was lifted, throwing a
terrific heat from the fiery substance
underneath. The workman had not
time to open his mouth when the man
threw himself headlong Into the fur
nace. Quick as a flash Workman Lee
saw the action and dropped the bell,
but all too " late. The man was
burled head and shoulders in the
flames.
TWENTY-TWO WERE KILLED.
Etimate of Loose of Life Flared on
Dniester at Tellarlde, Col.
TELLURIDE, Colo., Nov. 22. The
developments today in . the Smuggler
Union mine disaster have not served
to remove the-doubt as to the num
ber of victims and at a late hour to
night it seems unlikely that the ex
act number will be known for sev
eral hours. As yet the list remains
the same as last night, twenty-two
dead and one in a precarious condi
tion from inhaling the deadly gas and
smoke drawn into the mine from
the burning buildings about the mouth
of the bullion tunnel.
Jt is possible that a search of the
ninth level, which is still in part in
accessible, will reveal the bodies of
several other victims, but a party
headed by Superintendent Edgar Col- j
lins this afternoon went through all
the other portions of the mine and
found no" more dead bodies. The un
explored portion of the ninth level
is about 400 feet in length. It will '
not ba safe to enter this part of the
drift until tomorrow morning, and
perhaps later.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22. Governor
elect A. B. Cummins of Iowa,, who is
at present In New York, made a state
ment yesterday with respect to the
possible results of the joint control of
western railways by the Northern Se
curities company. He said:
"I do not believe there will be any
organized opposition in Iowa to the big
consolidation of western railroads.
There is a widespread difference of
opinion in our state as to the result
of the consolidation. While it Is
recognized that the movement placet;
a great power in a few hands, it is
recognized also that power may be
used for the people's good as well an
to their detriment. It is felt that It
may eliminate cutting of rates, rebates
to large shippers and give steadiness
to. transportation charges. Thi;ne art
some of the things that present the
greatest troubles to-our people,
"On the other hand, the consolida
tion places in the hands of those at
the head of the movement a power that
contains the elements of peril. If it
is used to reduce the accommodation
of the lines consolidated, to raise their
rales and decrease facilities for shrp
ppiK and passengers in order to reor
ganize, there is no doubt the people
will be prompt In taking such recotirrc
as In their power. This would prob
ably assume the form of lawsuils and
legislative action. If, however, tin
railroads in the consolidated lines use
their large powers wisely, I se no
reason for them to apprehend any
trouble In Iowa.
"I regard the consolidation of tm;
northwestern railroads as the first s'.eji
toward uniting the interests of all the
great railroad systems west of New
York. When carried through it wli!
prevent entirely rebates and rate cut
ting, which are great hiutlraih-eg in
many places to business. But if the
powers of the final consolidation arc
uted to raise rates and oecric-BS? fati!
itls of shipment and travel, there is
no doubt the general government
would step in and regulate rat;-.;."
