One discouraging factor , however. Is dls closed by the unsatisfactory rasulto ot th past nine years' trial ot the co-cducatlo ot the Indiana with the whites In the pub He schools. The report says the results o thin co-education nro not commenaurat with the expenditure ; that the Idea , theorc tctlcally , is nn admirable expedient to breaking down prejudices nnd civilizing tb Indian , but the flgurca show It Is not an tin qualified success. The full-blood , who need such contact most. Is r.iroly secured Th ground work , at least , ot Indian educatlo ! must bo laid under the government's aus pices and control. Stronger measures to forcing the attendance on Indian schools .ir urged.

A thorough nnd exhaustive investlgatloi tf the Scmlnoles in Tlorlda has resultei in the discontinuance of the offices of In dustrlal teacher and other employes and ni school will fie established for them at pres ent , their real nnd fancied wrongs having embittered them against government nwlst- nnce. The removal of the Perrls school li Eouthern California and the rebuilding of 1 In a more suitable location will be recom mended to congiess. Concerning the Indian Territory , the re port severely arraigns nepotism , lack o : management , demoralized conditions and r deplorable state of affairs generally In ad ministering the schools and orphan asylum : of the five Indian nations. Out of the twenty-ono boarding icaooli not moro than four of the superintendent ! are reported competent to teach the ordinary English branches , and financial mismanage ment Is especially complained of. Reporting on the Chlppevva outbreak oi last autumn , Commissioner Jones gays ; "For many jears the Chlppowas have beet : arrested and taken from their homes to St Paul and other points as witnesses or as of fenders , chiefly In whisky cases. Otter wholesale arrests have been made- wholly for the fees that would accrue to the of- flcera. Indians have been "helped1 to obtain whisky by the very ones who assisted them to use It. Often cases occur where Indians who hnvo been can led off to court to get homo as best they could. The whole matter of arrests by deputy marshals had come tt bo a farce , a fraud and a hardship to the Cblppewas and a disgrace to the community , I'rniulM I'riictlccd 011 ChliiiiomiN. "But neither does this fact explain the outbreak. When a delegation of Chlppewas \lslted Washington last winter their most bitter complaint was about the injustice in the use of their funds and frauds in the disposition of their timber. Without going Into detail it Is sufficient to say that in 3889 the Chlppenas were with difficulty in duced to cede to the United States large tracts ot valuable plno lands on the repre sentation that the sale of the pine would bring them In a fund of several million dollars. As Is always the case many Indiana were utterly opposed to the negotiations. A commission was appointed to make- allot ments on ceded and reservation lands and to secure removals to White Earth of those who were willing to go there , Estimates were appointed to appraise the Chlppowa pine. The expense of both U charged to tha fund of the Indians. The ex pense up to date has not been less than $200,000 , most of It In salaries. The work of the estimators proved worthless and n second set of estimators was appointed with \fl \ no better results , and a third set of men was assigned to the work. Up to date but $280,000 has been charged to the Indians for estimating value of large tracts ot pine which hod been estimated at from one-fourth to ono-half their value when Bold , and that loss also fell on the Indians. Again , unclci authority to dispose of dead nnd down timber , contractors Imvo cut largo quantities of grcon standing timber. There are also strong Indications that considerable timber was fired to bring it nominally under the head of "dead" timber. This was another loss to the Indians. "All these nnd other minor Influences were brought together to produce the general feeling of oppression nnd distrust nnd o"- iiBperntlon which found expression when the arrests were undertaken by the nld of mili tary force.

COASriNG TONNAGE THE CREATES mil * llcliln.l lii StonniMilp llullillni Control < if V * Ncl In I'nrHKii Trnilc mill More-limit Marine WASHINGTON , Nov. ID. American shir ping Industries shared In the general proi pcrlty of the country during the last flsci year. The annual report of Mr. Chamber lain , the commissioner of navigation , show this. The returns disclose more satlsfactor conditions than thceo of nny former yco In the bureau's history. The documented tonnage on June 30 , 1801 comprised 22,728 vessels ot 4,8flJ,23S gros tons , the largest nlnce 1SG5. The tonnag operating under our coasting laws , 21,33 \essels of 1,015,692 gross tons , Is the larges In our hlatory nnd greater than the coaatln tonnage of any other nation. Our steam ton nngo , 2,47(3,011 ( tons for the first tlmo ex cceds the tonnage of nil other craft. I the rest of the world steam tonnage cleve years ago exceeded sail tonnage. Our ton nngo registered for foreign trade remain small nnd laet year American vessels carrlc n fraction less than 9 per cent of our ex ports nnd Imports , the smallest percentag in our history. Dased on bureau vcrltas returns th world's eeagolng sail tonnage In the pne quarter of n century has decreased from 14 , 183,836 tons to 8,003,769 tons , a decrcaae o 10 per cent. The decrease in the Unltei States has been at the average rate. Th world's seagoing steam tonnage In the sain period has increased from -1,328,193 tons t < 18,887,132 tons , or 366 per cent. The phe noniennl Increases have been Norway's eve 1,400 per cent and Germany's nearly 701 per cent. The Increase of the United State : has been only 68 per cent and the Incrcasi of American steam tonnage registered foi foreign trade on the Atlantic and Gul coasts has been only 38 per cent. The de velopmcnt of Alaska within the past fev years has caused a rapid Increase In Paclfli coast tonnage. Where Uncle Sum In Hcliliul. Within the last twenty years the Unltei States , In seagoing steam tonnage ha : dropped from the second place , next tc Great Britain , to the fourth position , below Germany and France , and If steamships It foreign trade alone nro considered , below Norway and Spain , nnd only slightly aheac 6f Japan. The report views briefly the leg- ielation of other nations In behalf of theli merchant shaping , showing that last yeai European nations nnd Japan expended ovei ? 2G.OOO.OOO to promote it In various farms , while- the United States spent only $998,221 On their steamship lines to China and Ja pan , foreign nations expended about $5,000- 000 , while for the same purpose the United States expended less than $49,000. The establishment of two or more fast American steamship lines on the Pacific coast to connect with Asia will furnish the capitals of western Europe with closer mall and passenger connections by from threeto five days than Is now possible by the heavily subsidized British , German nnd French steamship lines through the Suez canal. The reasons which Impel other nations tc develop their merchant shipping , sajs Mr Chamberlain , apply with equal force to the United States. Among them arc , first , the relations of the navy to the merchant ma rine as an clement of national defense ; second end , relations of a merchant marine to In sular territory ; third. Its relations to new markets In Asia , Africa , Australia and South America ; fourth , the necessity for the bes ocean mail facilities under the flag ; fifth the relations of the merchant marine to ex ports and Imports and the value ot the car rying trade , nnd , finally , the promotion o shipbuilding and contributory industries. Financial I-Mirnrt-M on Oconu Trnilr By various methods of computation the annual revenue of the ocean-carrying trade of the United States Is estimated at about $175,000,000 , including passenger and immi grant fares and payments for ocean malla to and from the United States. The argu ment that American shipping In the foreign trade Is handicapped by tariff duties Is mel by reference to progressive legislation bo- Slnnlng In 1872 , by which for the last five pears all materials for the construction ol American vessels in the foreign trade and nil supplies for ouch vessels have been ex empt from duties. Tonnage taxes , which nro Imposed equally in foreign and American vefcsels , are the anly form of federal taxation on American shipping. The proposition to repeal tonnage ; axes would , therefore , in effect bo equiva lent to a bounty of about $750,000 annually : o foreign shipping and would relieve Amer- can shipping of only $80,000 of taxes an nually. The report then takes up the methods ivhlch have recenlly been suggested for the promotion of the American merchant ma- Ino. It Is pointed out that discriminating lutles on cargoes in foreign vessels or on : ho tonnage of foreign vessels are nn ira- iiactlcablo remedy on account of treaty provision. The same objection also applies : o the proposition to grant bounties on c\- 101 ts In American vessels. The proposition 0 grant American rcglstrj to foreign-built .cssels . In the foreign trade Is not regarded is feasible In view of the fnct that the coat ) f operating vesselo under the American lag is cooccdedly ucli greater than the : est of operating foreign vessels. AVn > in Alii II > roll n lit Marine- . The proposition to develop the merchant nnrlno through ocean mall subsidies Is only 1 partial solution of the question. While ho need of nt least two faat mall steam- ihlp llneB to Asia and olio to South America s Indisputable , the establishment of ship Ines would not suffice to put our navlga- lon and shipbuilding on a satisfactory > aels , The report In the main Is devoted to n lonslrtorntlon of senate bill No. 6590 , intio- luccd by Senator Fryo at the last seFslon .a a substitute to the bill of Senator Hnnna md Representative Payne. During the decade ending 1898 our ahlp- ards produced only 213,000 gross tons of icean steamships , while In the same period lerman. yards turned out 850,000 tons und Irltlsh jarde ! ) ,680,000 gross tons , The dlf- erence Jn the cost of construction nnd oper- , tlon of American and British vessels Is onsldered In tome detail It IK nlso pointed > ut that of the 362 steamships of fourteen : nets or over now In existence In the wet Id vcr SO per cent are receiving In one form r another urelstunco from the governments o which they belong , aggregating upwards f $20,000,000. Thin Is deemed Justifiable for he proposition In the bill to give a dls- Inct iillownnco to American eteamshlps of ourtccn knots and upwards. To Hciifflt ilauall anil I'orln Hint , The report also recommends moderate in- rcaco in our tonnage taxes , equalizing them Ith tlioso Imposed at the principal Kuropoan ortfij fnvora the passage of bills applying he lane of the United States relating to ommerce , navigation and merchant seamen Hawaii and Porto TUco , thus bringing tirau Islands under the coasting laws of lie United States. It Is recommended that Cfcsela owned by Cubans bo placed by law n on equality with vessels bolonglnfr to tbo lost favored nation. Under the existing tntute it has been nccct-aary to Impose a jnnage tax of $1 per gross ton practically rohlbltory upon eueh veeaels , and this In- jstlco bath to ourselves and the Cubans can o remedied only by legislation. Under the juo-called White bill for the protection of seamen American sailors nn enjoy n larger degree of personal liber than over before and much moro than tl seamen of nny other nation , that law rai Icnlly chinglng the nature of the seaman agreement. Reports from shipping comnil : sloncrs show that the allotment ncctloi have been of decided benefit to seimen nr that efforts to break down these sectloi during the spring nnd early sunlnicr hn\ failed and the law Is In the main eu < ccssfully enforced. otiniiiHJxJB.iiaK.iu ajt t \ ainlc npsvtlnr weekly chnngr of bill nt tl Crelchton-Orphcum Sunday , millnce nn evening , THH HILL Orlskn Warden , Adele Archer and Vim Rial TheQueen' * Fn The Kddy Trio . . .

In this week's bill then ore two "The Queen's Fan" nnd the act o ho Gllssando musical and acrobatic trio. "Tho Queen's Fan" Is n pretty little one- net operetta Interpreted by three handsome young women , Orlskn Vordcn , Adcle Archei and Vlra Rial. Its thcmo Is not unlike thai ot "A New Year's Dream. " the little pla > offered by Patrice last week. On her birth day , King Louis XV of France presented hU queen with n handsome fan , upon which w.i painted two fair damsels and a handsome page. On each succeeding anniversary ns the clock struck 11 these figures came to life for n single hour. The nrtlst bad made a n-lstako In pcslng the page , and Instead ol btlne at the feet of the one ho loved ho was made to kneel before tcr rival. Years of constant gazing at the painted face above htm hd weakened his ardor for his former love and during the hour they were allowed to live , they tried to settle the difficulty. The fair rivals are stopped In the middle of R quarrel ever the page by the clock striking the midnight hour nnd mournfully return to tholr original positions in the picture to await the eve of another anni versary. The little story has been sot to music by A. B. Sloan , who Is the author of the new operatic success "Jack and the Bean Stalk , " and while It cannot bo said to bo entirely original , it Is indeed pretty nnd charms the ear ol the listener. Familiar strains of many of the leading operas are noticeable in the music und It maybe pron- erly termed nn operatic potpourri. The stagesettlng is elaborate , the electrical effects beautiful and the costumes tasty nnd appropriate. Miss Worden and Miss Archer , who Impersonate the fair damsels , both ps- sws splendid voices and sing and act their respective- parts admirably. iMiss Rial , a striking beauty , is the page and displays n contralto voice of quality and cultivation. In their vvhlto wigs and antiquated ccstumes they look charming and gp through a minuet with all the ease nnd grace characteristic of the belles and beaux ot the' last century. The Gllssandos play upon a number of novel instruments , consisting of knives , forks , plates , all manner of tableware and any number of other "things , " making music that is not unpleaslng. Howard's mlnature dog and pony circus will please the children nnd grov.n people alike , as well as the spe cialty of LaPetlto Elsie , a clever Juvenile nrtlst whose Impersonations of May Irwin , Olive May , Anna Held and others are good. The Eddy trio do some acrobatic work that is quite remarkable. The balance of the bill is rather commonplace. "A Bunch or Keys , " one of Hojt's first comedy efforts which has been resurrected after having been shelved for a number of years , was seen at Bojd's theater Sunday afternoon and evening. Thcrompany pre senting It was mediocre and the performance so bad that the large audience which oc cupied every available seat In the theater could not help laughing nt it. \ Sure Cure for Crony. Mr. R. Gray , who lives near Amenia , Dutchess rounty , New York , says : "Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is the best medi cine I have ever used. It Is a fine chil dren's remedy for croup nnd never falls to cure. " Among the many thousands who bavo used this remedy for croup , we have yet to learn of a single case that has not recovered , and In many households it Is the solo reliance. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse , and even after the croupy cough has developed , it will prevent the attack. This should be borne in mind and a bottle of the Cough Remedy kept at hand ready for Instant use as soon as thede symptoms appear.

It is generally conceded that the cents per hundred pound late Is the meet satisfactory , and a majority of nhlppcrs will bo glad to see the railroads return to this into on December 1. It Is asserted by the livestock agents of the vniloua railroads that shlppu.-s tributary to the South Omaha market are realizing that It Is much better to ship to this market on n short haul than to go on to Chicago. This market heio iss equally as good ns those farther away nnd the shrinkage Is much less. Formerly western shippers thought It necca- sary to consign their stock to Chicago In order to get good prices , but for some time past South Omaha has been keeping right along with Chicago prices nnd the shipper Is snvcl the shrln\ago on a 500-mile haul. Then again , shippers were formerly not In euch n hurry to reach the market as they now arear.d , prices being nearly the same , a large proportion of westein shippers have altered their plans and now ship here. As the market fluctuates rapidly these days a shipper wants his stock rushed to market ns soon as U Is Icadtxl on the train. At South Omaha sales are made qulcklv and there Is no waiting around for a day or two , as at Chicago. As for the railroads It Is asserted that ( lie managers prefer short hauls nnd lots of them to occasional long hauls. ? the I'nlillc Mltrnry. It Is understood that a proposition is soon to be made to the rcmnnnte of the Li- braiy board whereby the public library may be placed in commodious quarters and at tended to without any expense to the city or the board. J. r. McReynolds , the stationer at 417 North Twcntv-fourth street , the old pcstofllco building , is preparing to offer to t lace the books belonging to the library on his shelves and to take care of the handling at the books free of Charge. It is stated tl at the Library board owns in all about 1,000 books. A portion of thcso are now in the office of the superintendent of schools , while the balance are stored away In the belfry of the High school building. These [ .upils of the schools who desire , are per- Tilttod to obtain books , the handling being lone by Superintendent AVolfe or one of : he teachers. The location iMr. McReynolds offers Is nn ideal ono for a libiary and as he has plenty if help and space to spare the Library board : aunot consistently refuse to consider the iropositlon. As there will be no expense Utached to the change there Is no good reason why the library should not be ro- jrgunlzed and placed where those who desire Lo draw books can do o. At the present .Imo the Library board Is composed of Mrs , 3. L Talbot and Miss Hettie Moore. All of .he other members of the board arc either load or have left the city. If those vvho are Interested In the re- istabllshment of the library take hold of the nattor In the right way there seems to ho 10 reason why the plan suggested by Mr. UcUeynolds will not bo a success. Pniiei-M Onlj Procured l > MIIIM. Members of the board of registration who prepared the registration lists In the Sec- md , Third and Fourth wards say that the lumber of voters of foreign birth vvho have iccured only their first papers Is suiprialngly arge. In some Instances those first papers , vero issued along in 18SO and 1882 nnd are icarly woin out from being handled. So nany residents of the city who have be- nil oil tbcso first papers have made no ef- 'ort to proceed with the matter and secure iccond papers. As first papers entitles a 'orclgner ' to vote hero many seem to think lint there Is no necessity for going ahead md securing a completion of the record. Just why this Is no one seems able to say inlcss It bo that the procuring of second lapors Is neglected or put off for lack of Imo. First papers may bo obtained upon i declaration to become a citizen of the Jnltcd States , after having resided In the late six months , the county forty days and ho precinct ten days. Council Meeting T The city council Is billed for a meeting onlght. Bids for the laying of a sewer m Q fctreet from Twenty-third to Twenty- Ixth will bo opened and more than likely ho contract will bo awarded. The contract or this work was let once , but on account if an error in tabulating tbo bids It was loomed best to rcadvurtlso for bids. It is stlmated that this sewer will cost about 1.400. Property owners on Nineteenth street ictween Q nnd AV streets will present a pe- Itlon asking for the grading of that street.
