WASHINGTON , Nov. 19. In his annul
icport Commissioner of Indian Affairs Wl !
Ham A , Jrnis , hct'idcs reviewing the prof
rces In nil branches of the service , urge
moro schools , moro systematic method ;
Htudy of Individual trnlts nnd cansldcrntlo
of subsequent environment In outllnin

cdiicatlonnl gjgtcm of the Indian office , li
Bays , li predicated upon the Hunt abolish
incltt of tie ! anomalous Indian reservatlo
system.
There nro now 20,522 boys nnd girls In nt
tendance on tlic various Indian schools , ot
of an enrollment of over 25,000 ,
The Indian population has remained eta
tlonary , Tbero has been such a steady In
crease in the number at Indians being cdu
catcd as to warrant the opinion that th
next quarter century will witness not
diminution of the Indian population , but a
extinguishment of Indian tribes.
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.
Uiniitoy Indlnnn In ( lie hcr\ lee ,
There arc 2.GC2 employes In the Indlai
service und the policy Is to employ Indlani
In every position to which they arc adaptci
by nature and education.
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. "

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.

The Mitchells teen Teni
A year ago vvhun the Orpheum thcatc
was first opened In Omaha tlic wUcacres pal
that vaudeville entertainment was n fac
the mere pnsslng fancy of n frivolous publl
nnd that the novelty of this form of amu-ae
mcnt would soon wear off , leaving It to dl
a natural death. Mnny gave It but n fo\
months to last , others were charltnbl
enough to allow It a jcar. The > car Is U )
nnd its popularity has been steadily In
creasing , until now It has reached a poln
where the Orpheum theater Is crowded ever ;
Sunday night and many are turned away
The magnetic powers of the cntertalnmen
seems to Ho in Its novelty , nnd there I'
rarely a bill offcrcil that does not cm-
jody an net or so that docs not possess somt
novel feature. 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.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !
H Is reported upon apparently good ai
Ihorlty that a "reform" political club
I being organlred In the city preparatory I
i the fprlng campaign Ex-Councilman P.
j Barrett nnd Councilman A. H. Kelly ai
the head pushers In this new scheme , tt
plan ostensibly being to push Birrctt Inl
the mayor's chnlr next April. Several quli
meetings have been held nt Barrett's ofll <
on Twenty-fourth street nnd nny rcsldct
of South Omaha who has a vote , no matte
what party he nfnllates with , li given
hearty welcome All that Is asked of new
comers Is that they stand together for re
form In local politics and support Barrel
and Kelly. Ono of the ardent members t
the new combine became a little lillnrloi ;
nt Jock Mnhcr's opening the other nlgr
' and talked In a confidential manner to
couple of supposed friend' , whom hewa
trying to Induce to enter the "Reform" clul
The plan ns now proposed and related by th
hilarious member Is for Pat llnrrclt to pun
himself to the front ns n candidate for mayo
and secure all the support he can posslbl
get. Then when the time conies Barrel
is to suddenly throw his support to Kell
and thus eecuro the nomination for h1
friend. In payment Barrett Is to bo give :
a good appointive oHlce , presumably chief o
police , In the event that the great "re
former" Is elected. The meetings of th
"Reform" club nro ot the most secret char
nctcr and every nowccaicr Is sworn not ti
divulge the schemes nnd plans of theor
gntiiratlon.
Stock iltntoN Change Soon.
Within a few dnjs the railroads will g <
back to the old plan of cents per hundrei
pounds of livestock shipments Instead 01
dollars per car. Stqckcare vary In lengtl
and when a shipper pays a certain number o !
clollais for a thirty-foot car he Is not get
ting ns much for h's ' money ns If a thirty-
four or thlrty-slx-foot car had been sent
him. The variance In the length of care
tends to overloading , which Is seriously
objected to by ralliond managers and la
not profitable to shippers. 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.
