.Movement of United States
Trlhes to Mexico,
WASHINGTON, "oct. 30. Tho probable
collapse of the movement that has threat
ened to result In the romoval of Shaw
nee, Delaware, and other Indian bunds to
Mexico is announced In a report received
at the Interior department from Assistant
Special Agent Bentley, telling ot the death
of two Indian chiefs who led In the project.
The report announces that Big Jim, prin
cipal chief of his band ot Shawnees, died
it Sublnas., Mex., September 30, of small
pox and that Jack Farrls, one of the
rhlefs of tho Delawnres, who accompanied
Big Jim, died the same day ot the same
disease.
Big Jim's party consisted of six persons,
four of whom died. These two chiefs wra
bitterly opposed to civilization and their
ambition for years has been to move their
people to Mexico, there to live In exclusion
away from the-white man and his Influ
ence. Their death, tho agent thinks, will
result in the total abandonment of any
further disposition on the part of their
people to leave the United States. The re
port says that Instead of being received
with open arms In Mexico, as tho chiefs
had anticipated, when stricken with the
dUease the Mexican authorities refuted
them shelter or aid of any kind and they
were compelled to He In the brush and
their party was compelled to pay IS for

LONDON. Oct. 30. The following Import
ant announcement appears Jc the Dally Tel
egram: "We understood that Lcid Salisbury has
decided to resign from tho foreign secretary
ship, which will bo transferred to the Mar
quis of LanBdowno. Althaugu tho health
ofnhe prime minister gives no cause for

Referring editorially to tho appointment
of the Mnrqtils of Lansdowne to the foreign

"especially In view of 'thetfact that Lord
Salisbury's Influence will still presldo over
the foreign policy of Great .Britain
Lord Salisbury camo to London yesterday
and paid a long visit to tho foreign omce,
where ho received the Marquis ot Lans

Thero is little doubt that tho Dally Tel

condemned, probably will cause Borne dis
satisfaction.
Tho Times confirms the statement of the

WASHINGTON. Oct. SO. The German
central bureau for the preparation of com
mercial treaties has just published a book
written by Its president, Dr. Vosberg
Hekow, who has spent months Investigat
ing the ludustrlal conditions ot the United
States. The work Is noteworthy for the
candor and breadth which characterizes it
and the unbiased manner with which Dr.
Itckow views the ccouomlc conditions of
the great Industrial powers and their re-
atlons towurd each other as competitors.
Tho United States, bo doclares to be the
most dnngerouH opponent lo Germany's
industrial power and commercial advan
tages. In setting forth the German vlow
of United States development. Mr. Ilokow
displays both the acknowledgment of and
tho fears for American mastery In trade.
in this portion of his work, which United
States Vice Consul General Hannur nt
Frankfort bus transmitted to tho Btato
department, ho pays many high tributes
to Amarlca mid Americans. In a compari
son of tho czar's empire with the United
Stales, he soys;
"While the great masss of Russia's popu
lation remains In a comatose state and
occasionally starves (but a small part of It
participating In modern economic work)
the entire Ynnkeo nation Is llku a per
fectly disciplined army, standing shoul
der to shoulder, nt tho forge, the loom or
printing press, earning wealth from their
Industry."
Again, he states:
'Euronc. with her old established indus
tries. Is eo hard pushed by the young
American comnctltor. that the necessity
of uniting in a common customs league
aralnst this bold Intruder haa become a
matter of serious consideration."
Tho writer commends the American con
sular service, saying:
"Tho United States has covored Kurono
with a network of consulates and makes
Its consuls at tho same time Inspectors of
our exports, and vigilant sentinels who spy
cut overy trmte opening nnd pron'ptly te
non n.
Dr. Itekow also predicts the establish
ment of an American morchant marine.
"There can bo no doubt," ho says, "that
an American merchant marine will bn
forthcoming ere long and become of vast
extent. Whoever has watched the present
state of activity In American ship yardH
will have no doubt on thnt scoro."
"In short." continues Dr. Itekow. "the
Americans are the solo commercial-political
oeoDlo whom wo must earnestly dread.
Hussla will romaln a profitable, customer to
us In the future; with Orcat Britain we
aro united by bonds of common Interests,
the United States Is, In an economic sonso,
our euemy."
