RED MEN STAY GOVERNMENT WARDS STILL Blara Prosper Independently In diana Make So Progress. Beranae kirrh llaa ot Yet Effect ively Helped Them. NEW LONDOX, Conn.. Oct. 12. Report 04 addresses on mictions occupied the attention of the delegate at this morning's melon of the convention of the American Missionary association. la an address on Indian and A lank an ml. Ions Rev. Dwlght M. Pratt, D. D., of Cin cinnati affirmed that the Indian ran never be redeemed and uplifted and fitted for the duties and responsibility of clt.lzentb.lp by the civil government. The vast sums expended by the govern ment for this purpose In the last I'jirty years, he said In effect, bad accomplished but little. The Indian today Is as much a ward of the nation as he was a generation ago. If the Indian Is ever to be educated to citizenship and Christian manhood, If be Is ever to be emancipated from the nursery and from bis awaddilng clothes and made an Independent and constructive factor In our national life. It must be through just such vital and effective work as Is done by this association. Rev. II. A. Ilrldgeman of Massachusetts spoke on m lflon in Porto Rico. He said that modern- missionary onterprlso and American Christianity. were on trial in that island. It, governors, be averred, -com home and paint, la reseate colors the prog ress of American . Ideas, the eagerness of the people for self-government and. their growing efficiency therein. But, be continued, ask a Christian leader like Dr. C. J. Ryder, who has spent weeks Investigating moral conditions not only in the seaports, but in the mountain districts, to teU you what he baa seen and beard and the moral statue of the people will seem appalling. Centuries of misrule, the exactions of an oppressive and often Immoral ecclesiastical system, the baneful Influences of a soft tropical climate have produced a people, Inert, childish, ignorant aud impure. Amer ican Christianity has a big task before it and one demanding the generous outlay of money and not less generous offering of consecrated personality. Chinese missions were considered In a re jort and address by Rev. Harlan P. Beacb, I). D.. of New Jersey, and a view of educa tional work in the south was presented by Rev. Edward H. Bylngton of Massachusetts. The. evening session was addressed by Trof. Charles F. Scott of Lares, Porto Rico, on th work among the Chinese and Porto Rlcans. James F. Cross, of South Dakota gsve an interesting account of the work among the Indiana and Rev. J. H. Hlggtn bolham of Kentucky spoke of the condi tions among the white mountaineers in the aoutb. ,. Ipesks of Keasro Advancement. Rev. H. Proctor, colored, of Atlanta was the advocate of the southern negro and bis remarks were rontlnually Interrupted with applause. He said: When you begun your work among us our mental ability was greatly deprecated. It was said we could not read, our eyes were too sleepy but we- learned to read. We could not learn to write, our fingers were too clumsy; but we did learn to write. We could not ler.rn to count, our skulls were too thick: but wo did learn to figure. We could nut learn science, our intellectual Block was watered; but we did learn the sciences. John C. Calhoun expressed the popular notion when he said that if a negro could conjugate the Greek verbs he would be willing to admit him to brotherhood. Some time ago I stood by his moss covered tomb In Charleston and thought of what he said. Could I call him up tonight I could tell of young negroes In the Carolines who could conjugate Greek Verbs with as much fa cility as his closer kin. I would tell him of negroes In Harvard, Yale and Chicago uni versities who can conjugate that verb with as much accuracy as he. Moreover, I could tall him of a negro who has written a Greek .book which has found his way to Harvard that Calhoun never did. Today nobody doubts the -negro's ability to learn. What Douglas has done in eloquence, Washington In education, Dunbar in poetry, Tanner in art and Dubois in scholarship has demonstrated to the world that there is no race in brain. Possessing nothing at 'the Close of the war, ahut up for the most part from gain ful pursuit, the colored citizens today pay taxes on $.000,0o0 worth of property. In my state Georgians have, dug tlo.OOO.OOO out of their native ted hills. BISHOPS TALK OF MISSIONS Waal More Volaateera aad Greater Power for Conn ' " .'; .Ml. ' enaaanaenenaca ' PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 22. Two Important topics were discussed at today's sessions of the missionary council of the Protestant Episcopal church. The first, which consumed the morning fission, concerned the desirability of a change ' in the missionary canon of the church. The principal speakers were Bishop Satterlee of Washington and Bishop Brewer of Moutans. Th second referred to the need for ad ditional mission workers and how to meet It, addresses being made by Bfebop Cam eron Mann of North Dakota, Rev. J. C. Roper of the General Theological seminary, sod Rev. L. B. Ridley of China. Bishop Satterles In discussing the first advanced many reasons why a change would be beneficial. In his opinion the restric tions placed upon the council hampered it. New conditions had arlsed and new methods should be devised to meet them. Bishop Brewer argued against change, as he believed the organization was satis factory.' Ths subject of mission workers, discussed at the afternoon session, brought out nu roerous suggestions for increasing the num ber of volunteers.

ABSTINENCE IN THE SCHOOLS National W. C. T. V. Passes Resale tl Favarlnar Ise of Teslbeoks on the Subject. PORTLAND. Me., Oct. 22. Much time was devoted to two Important resolutions by the national Woman's Christian Tem perance union here today. Both were adopted. The first wss In effect: That we stand committed to the rrlndple and practice of compulsory scientific tem perance Inatruetlon for all pupils In all publle schools of this country. We urge our organization everywhere to work for good, well graded text books ort this sub Ject and to oppose books that fall to teach total abstinence as revealed by modern science. ; The second was: '. That wa respectfully differ from the Statement of President Kllot of Harvard university that the attempt to teach absti nence In "the public schools has been an In jury to the echlng of science Inasmuch ss Ideas concerning the effect of alcohol were taught which could not be proved and remind the public that the teaching on this subject in our pibllc schools has the spproval of men of acknowledged eminence tn science and has never been proved false. We believe that Its removal from our Sc-nonl would be a national calamity, which we pledge ourselves to do everything in our power to avert. Invitations to. hold the next national con vention at St. Louis were received. Mrs. E. B. Ingalls, superintendent of the department of ahtl-nafcotica, submitted a report as follows: ' In a circular sent ' out at the beginning of the year, I said the cigarette will be driven out of existence In ten years. A large, number .of the members of the W. C. T. V took up the question, and leagues have been formed, lectures given, sermons preached and this country aroused as never before. A careful statistical, examination made bv educators of boys shows the average efficiency Of non-smokers Is Sfi per cent, that is, not 6 per cent out of loo would probably acquire a good education. On the other hand, only six out of 100 cigarette smokers could hope to battle successfully against the mental tendency produced. Of smokers. 60 per cent had poor memories: 40 percent were untruthful; so per cent had bad manners; 90 per- cent were slow thinkers. We have pledged 40,932 boys and many girls against tobacco. The report of Mrs. A. E. Carman, super intendent of medal contests, said nearly 4,000 medal contests bad been held during the year. SAVANTS TALK OF PAWNEES Americanists Hear Interesting- Pa pers on Customs of Nebraska Indiana. NEW YORK, Oct. 22. Miss Alice C. Fletcher of Pesbody museum. Harvard uni versity, Tvho for four year has been in vestigating the ceremonies and ritual of the Ptwnees, read a paper on the Pawnees before the Americanists today. She said the tribe was locsted In Ne braska and divided into four bands, who always built their villages In definite geo graphical locations to each other. The Skldl band was divided into number of villages and each village possessed sym bolic articles believed to have been given by as many different stars. ' The village of the Skldl reflected the position of their atars In the heavens. Everything to ths Pawnees was either male or female. Thus, the shrine of the west was feminine; so, too, was that of the yellow star of the northwest, which was first tn order of leadership. Next came the masculine star In the southeast, the white feminine star in the southwest and closed with the black masculine star in the north east. The care of these ' shrines was do- puted to a- woman, the knowledge of Its rituals and ceremonies to a man. Dr. O. A. Dorsey of the Field Columbian museum Of Chicago followed with an ac count of the sun dance among the Pawnees. When the thunder crashed in spring It meant that the god Tl Ra Wa bad returned from darkness. The swan neck and head used symbolized the world, over which it flew. The fawn skfn' signified plenty, on account of the Pawnee version of Genesis that three does were their forerunners: The whole cere mony prepared the fields for sowing. Ernest Cronan, the historian, ssked If the missionaries had 'not had an effect on the customs of the Pawnees. "I do not believe It," said Dr. Dorsey. The Pawnees are 'the most conservative of the plains Indians." CHAINMAKERS FORM TRUST Birr Firms of the - t'ointry Unite 1 Under the Laws of ' Ohio. CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 22.

MUST UNITE TO REPELL AMERICAN TRADE Wlthost roll (lent and Industrial Inloa Foreign Markets Mill Fall Before etv Competition aad Home Fields Be Endangered. ST. ANDREWS, Scotland. Ort. 22. An drew Csrnegle was today formally Installed as a director of St. Andrew's university In the presence of a large and brilliant as semblage, over which Principal Dorisldson presided. The honorary degree of doctor of laws was subsequently conferred by St. Andrew's on Mr. Carnegie, Ambassadors Choate and White, Prof. Alexander Graham Bell of Washington and Henry White, secretary of the United States embsssy In London. Mr. Carnegie's address consisted of lengthy study of the comparative growth of nations In the paths of Industrial ascend ancy, with a striking commentary on their future. In this speech, which was repleto with notable statistics and Important eco nomicprophecies, perhaps the most remark able feature was an appeal to Emperor Wil liam to use his Influence toward the even tual creation of the United States of Europe under the form of a political and Industrial union. In this way alone, Mr. Carnegie declared, can Europe conquer the foreign markets or repel the American Invasion. France, Ger many and Russia, which had already taken Joint action against Japan, would suffice to ensure a satisfactory union in Europe. "The czar," he continued, "having taken the first step toward the peace of the world In The Hague conference, the other mighty emperor might some day be impressed with the thought that It is due to himself and to Germany to play a great part upon the wider stage of Europe, as Its deliverer rrom the Incubus which oppresses and weakens It, the appalling, paralyzing fear of war and of ruin between members of its own body. Appeals to Kaiser. Mr. Carnegie, in the course of a glowing tribute, to Emperor William, said he could not help believing that "one so supremely great" could "Influence the few men io today control Europe to take the first s'ep, not to federate, but by an alliance to en sure international peace, which is all that can be expected at present." Unless the powers agree to something of the kind all they could look forward to was to "revolve like so many ltlliputlana around this giant Gulliver, the American union, soon to embrace 200,000,000 of the English speaking race and capable of supplying most of the world's wants." For the best essays on this subject Mr. Carnegie offered a rector's prize. Dealing with the events which caused the Industrial supremacy "Once yours, but now passed to your lineal descendants, who bears the industrial crown," Mr. Carnegie maintained that it waa a physi cal impossibility for Great Britain to pro duce material things rivaling in amount those of countries the size of America, Germany and Russia, nor would a union of the empire change the situation, for "neither Canada nor Australia gave promise, of much Increase In population or industrialism. All thought of material ascendancy, even with the British empire united, must, therefore, be abandoned." ' Mr. Carnegie spared bis Scotch audience no details. "America," he said,' "now makes more steel than all the' rest of the world. In Iron and coal Its production la greatest and K is also so in textilea. It produces three-quarters of the world's cotton. The value of ita manufactures is about triple that of your own. ' Its ex ports are greater and the clearing house exchanges at New York are almost double those of London." Germany, the speaker aluo said, now threatened to oust Great Britain even from second place. France was not likely , to Increase its trade much further. It was only through the frugality and virtue of Its people that It remained amongst the first-class nations. SUPPRESSI0N0F LADRONES Government Urged by President to Pass a Vagrancy Art. MANILA, Oct. 22. Governor Taft dis cussed the suppression of ladronlsm in Cavlte yesterday at a conference held with the presldentea of twenty-two towns of Cavlte province. He told the assembled presldentes that they and their people must unite and work for the suppression and punishment ot crime. The presldentes promised to organize volunteers for this purpose in each town. They asked Governor Taft to secure the passage of a vagrancy act that would reach ladrones and dissolute Americans and foreigners. Many discharged soldiers and other foreigners make their homes with the natives and the influence of these men Is often bad. The government has been asked to secure the deportation of such persons, but up to the present time it has had no means of dealing with them. Governor Taft promised the presldentes to draw up a vagrancy bill covering these cases. ALICE ROOSEVELT TO WED Her Kngngement to Julia irernvtay of Hot Nprlugs Will be Soon Announced.

The taking of test I-J tnony for the defendsnts In the suit of the United States and the Northern Securities compasy and others Interested in the so called railway merger was resumed todsy before Special Examiner Ingersoll tn the United States circuit court. Frederick Weyerhauser, a well known lumberman, who for the last year has been a Oret Northern director, was the first witness. His testimony tended to show the greater business convenience of shipping over one system as compared with several systems. He was not cross-examined. George B. Harris, president of the Chi cago, Burlington Quincy railroad, was the next witness. He thought the acquisition of the Burlington by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern was the practical exten sion of the Burlington to the coast.' He emphasized the extent of the country reached by his road where no trees grew end asserted that Nebraska and some other spates would be almost uninhabited if tim ber or fuel could not be carried In. He said the future lumber supply must come from the Pacific coast. The new Burlington connection with the northwestern ststes helped also in rattle shipments; his line reached nearly all packing centers, making a direct connection between the market and the grazing sections. His lins reached all Illinois coal fields and UP to a few years ago the supply actually exceeded the demand. It was necessary to find' new markets; soft coal was not susceptible of ' tranship ment because easily broken, and a per manent connection' with' other lines was sought and finally found In these north western states, thereby bringing the ship pers and consumers closer together. He told of his desire to extend the Burling ton to the north In order to secure lum ber shipments and their final decision to build in that direction. The sale to the northern lines then came up and made a better and more permanent arrangement for this class of business. Speaking of coal, he said his company Jioped by the union of interests) to secure Iron ore as a return haul for coal sent north. They were already assured of the use of such iron ore in and about St- Louis. Mr. Day, interstate commerce commission attorney, examined Mr. Harris, bringing out the Burlington survey north to Oreat Falls, Mont., which the witness said had not yet been abandoned. He told also of surveys west of Denver twenty years ago, but ex plained that the management, simply se cured the facta in. order to present them to the board If ever wanted. As to the western lumber rates, there was material reduction to the people In Nebraska and Missouri river points. Recurring to the coal shipments, be said the union ot .interests avoids the reship ment ot coal and makes possible the haul' Ing of unbroken tif ins from the coal fields. Hla road was maATed by its directors, as it always had be In. Mr. Day, persisted in questions, as to J yhere President Harris got his orders. W - 'Harris- said there had' been no change W y time In, bis orders; that the direotoraAiemed to think, that he had some commosTTgense and. might use it. He consulted freely with the directors, however, regarding the policy to be pur sued Agents for the Burlington at various Pacific coast centers looked after business for that line out there. . He believed thoroughly In publicity In rates and said secret rates, were steadily going out of use. Adjourned until tomorrow.

On every hand I found the inhabitants engaged In peaceful pursuits. BniangRs prior to the insurrection against Spain was one of the wealthiest provinces in the archipelago, but now Its condition Is deplorable, with little hope of a present relief. ' During the past three years about 93 per cent of the animals need for agricul tural Durooses died from disease. The ani mals brought from the other provinces also died. It will take many years to re-estab lish the former condition unless there Is help. It Is my opinion that If an "agri cultural bank" were Instituted, at which the land owner could borrow -money tbe question would soon be solved. - in the lninna municipalities tnere is a scarcity of rice and other food. Schools nave been established in most or the municipalities and American teachers are at work. Large numbers of boys and girls are beginning to speak and write the English language quite fluently.

MAY BE SYMPATHETIC STRIKE Execatlve Committee Likely tn De clare Machinists' Strike on llarrlman Lines. It is possible though no decision has been reached that the strike now In prog ress on the Union Pacific may be extended all over the Harrlman system. It is the desire' of the strike leaders that this policy be decided upon, since there is no indication of concession by President Burt. The executive committee of the Interna tional Association of Machinists is now in session in Chicago and has promised to con sider the advisability of declaring a sym pathetic strike of all lta members who are employed In shops on the Harrlman roads. Strike leaders here believe such action will be taken. If it Is, the other crafts, tbe boilermakers and blacksmiths, probably will get similar concessions from their ex ecutive boards and the strike will then be come universal over all the roads controlled by Harrlman. In this way the strikers feel assured of forcing a victory within a short time. RECEIVER FOR STOCK FIRM Iowa Farmers Petition for Money From Hwarts Brothers A Wright. CHICAGO, Oct. 22.
