Kuropatkin to Avoid llnttlv.
Paris, May 10.—The correspondent
at St. Petersburg of the Echo de Paris
telegraphs as follows:
"Gen. Kuropatkin has ordered a
general retreat and no doubt intends
to avoid a battle until he has sufficient
forces. He actually has at his dis-
posal not more than 150,000 men, ex-
clusive of the garrison at Port Arthur,
which consists of 30,000, and the gar-
rison at Niuchwang of 15,000.
"A general who knows the secrets of
the mobilization tells me that the last
100,000 men making up the required
500,000 will leave Kasan July 21, add-
ing, 'We will be very sick if the rail-
way is not worked well. It is not
likely that Gen. Kuropatkin will fa-
tigue his troops unnecessarily. If the
Japanese press him he will retire from
Llao Yang to Mukden, or even to
IRRIGATION FOR IDAHO.
Two Canftlii to lin Hullt That Will Dlvort
l.OOO Cubic Feet of Water
Kverjr Second.
Washington, May 10.—The secretary
of the interior has tentatively approved
plans for a stupendous irrigation proj-
ect to be constructed in the valleys of
Payette and lloise rivers, in southwest-
ern Idaho. The project comprises two
features—a masonry dam in Paj ette
river and works for the diversion of
water from Boise river. Associated
with the dam in Payettte river Is a
canal on each side of the stream, that
on the south side connecting with a
;arge pumping plant.
The dam will be 90 feet high, 450
feet long on top and 125 feet long on
the bottom. The capacity of the reser-
voir will be 190,000 acres.
The north side canal will have a
length of 20 miles, the south side 40
miles. The estimated cost of these
works i3 $1,200,000. By means of them
1,000 cubic feet of viater may be di-
verted every second for the irrigation
of 150,000 acres of land.

A Hemitlonal Debate on the Attitude of
the Roman Catholic Church Toward
the Public Sc hool System.
Los Angeles, Cal., May 10.—The at-
titude of the Roman Catholic church
toward the public school system of
the United States furnished a subject
for a sensational debate in the Metho-
dist general conference yesterday.
While there was a strong disposition
on the part of certain delegates to
have the conference adopt resolutions
committing it to extreme utterances
• upon the subject, theifc was an over-
whelming sentiment, as it developed,
against any such action and the entire
matter was finally disposed of by re-
ferring it to a committee, from which
it is unlikely ever to be reported.
If a colored bishop is to be named
by the present conference it now seems
to be practically settled that the man
wiil be Rev. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, pro-
fessor of systematic theology in the
Gammon theological seminary of At-
lanta, Ga.
It was learned last night that the
pub-eommittee on the effectiveness of
bishops reported in favor of the re-
tirement of at least four of the present
bishops. These will be, it is said by a
prominent leader in the church coun-
cils, Bishops Andrews, aged 79; Mal-
lalieux, 75; Walden and Vincent, 7.1
years of age respectively. Bishop An-
drews is the same age as Bishop Mer-
rill, who has asked to be retired. If
this forecast is correct at least seven
new bishops will be elected by the
present general conference.
SEAL OF CHINESE DYNASTY.
Cold Gathered by Hand Over 4.000 Years
Ago—Offered for Salt* In Knn Kranelsco
for l'altry Sum.
San Francisco, May 10.—A massive
gold seal, worth intrinsically $5,000 and
one of the priceless treasures of an
ancicnt Chinese dynasty, has been of-
fered for sale in this city to a local
smelting company. Word was sent
from there to the Chinese consul gen-
eral. He deciphered the worn inscrip-
tions upon it and declared that it was
one of the most valuable relics of an
ancient Chinese dynasty. He said that
the gold came from the great range
of the Khinga mountains and the sands
of the Gobi desert and was gathered
by hand from the rocks and channels
more than 4,000 years ago.
Melted and refined into a solid mass,
the artisans of those ages carved the
Inscriptions upon the gold that have
formed the official seal of the dynasty
for thousands of years, until more mod-
ern times and a greater sway caused
a new imperial seal to be developed.
Then the seal was delegated to the
nearest nephew of the emperor as his
official signature. The seal was subse-
Quently withdrawn from sale by its
present owner, who claims to have
picked it up in China. It is said the
Chinese consul general has guaranteed
the payment of-$10,000 for it, which is
twice its intrinsic value if melted up.

Indian Territory News, j
Rev. \V. T. Moore, of Columbia, Mo., Con-
ducted Divine Worship Sunday Evening
lu a Unique Maimer.
Columbia, Mo., May 10.—The most
unique church service ever held in
this section was conducted Sunday
evening by Rev. W. T. Moore, dean
of tho Missouri Bible college. Dr.
Moore was able to fill his pulpit in
the regular manner in the morning,
but in the evening, the rain descending
in torrents, made it impossible to
hold services. Some member, living
near the church, suggested that a serv-
ice be held by telephone. The sugges-
tion was at once acted upon, and Dr.
Moore stepped into a telephone booth
and called for the party line, on which
most of the members had 'phones, and
told of the intention.
The meeting began at eight o'clock
with the singing of a hymn, all of the
members singing into their respective
'phones. An organ, placed near the
preacher's 'phone, furnished the music,
and from the time of the opening all
of the members on the line paid closest
attention to the services. The only
feature omitted besides the usual serial
,TOssip had after the service, was the
taking up of the collection.
To Arreflt Warden Jewett.

United States minister to Servia, de-
livered his credentials to King "Peter,
Monday.
Twenty Sew Di-putlm Required
The comptroller of the treasury has
issued an order to the marshals of In-
dian territory which is giving them
much concern, and which means the
appointment of about twenty addition-
al deputies. The order is that all per-
sons arrested for crime must be taken
for trial before the United States com-
missioner nearest the place where the
crime was committed. Until this order
was made, it was the custom to take
a prisoner before the commissioner
nearest the place where the arrest was
made. It is fair to presume the oredr
will make necessary twenty deputies.
They receive a salary of $75 a month,
or a total increased expense of $18,-
000 a year for deputy hire. In addi-
tion to this will be the increase in
mileage for the deputies and their
prisoners. The comptroller estimates,
however, that if the defendant Is
brought to the commissioner nearest
the scene of the crime, the expense of
securing witnesses will be cut down
sufficiently to more than pay the in-
creased expense Incurred by the dep-
uties.
Inillnn Population Ploac to 1.10,000.
The census of 1900 reported that
there were 51,393 Indians not taxed in
Indian territory. The last annual re-
port of the secretary of the interior
shows that there are about 90,000 on
the citizenship rolls of the five tribes
in the territory. But it is certain that
these figures do not correctly state the
entire number of Indians in the terri-
tory. There were 128,406 applicants
for enrollment, divided as follows:
Scminole8, 3,079; Choctaws, including
Mississippi Choctaws, 50,740; Creeks,
15,257; Chickasaws, 13,176, and Chero-
kees, 46,154. It is safe to assume that
many of the unsuccessful applicant^
had Indian blood in their veins. Add-
ing the 1,469 Quapaws, the total Indian
population of Indian territory is close
to 130,000.
KvbnKPll.t to Help Rnlae lion Tin.
The citizens of South McAlester
have agreed to unite in an ef-
fort to raise $75,000 bonus for the
Kansas City, Oklahoma & Houston
railroad. This includes the price of
land for shops and right of way 10
miles north and 30 miles south. A big
union revival of six churches will be in
progress, but the preachers have given
away for the railroad meeting, which
will be held in the revival pavilion,
seating 2,000 people. The evangelist,
Rev. Freueh E. Oliver, has agreed to
assist in raising the bonus.

A recent dispatch from the St. Louis
world's fair says: "The Indian school
and reservation now provides plenty
of interest to visitors, although the
school does not formally open until
June 1. The Indian band of 40 piece.!
has arrived and tendered its first con-
cert from the steps of the Indian school
Wednesday. Considerable interest is
manifested in viewing the erection of
Indian lodges and encampments. The
Pawnees are at work on their mud
lodges and the Wichitas are building
their famed grass lodges. The oldest
members of the tribes are directing
the work. Superintendent S. M. Mc-*"
Gowan, of the Indian school, says that
the school exhibit will afford an op-
portunity never presented in this coun-
try for observation of the old Indian
and the modern trained school Indian
in sharp contrast. On one side of the
central hall the old Indians weave
blankets, do bead work and construct
native baskets, while on the opposite
side Indian youths issue a daily paper
and Indian girls perform domestic
work.
Delaware* Are Given Preference.
By an order just issued by the Dawes
commission all registered and unreg-
istered Delawares tire given precedence
over the numbered Cherokees in mak-
ing selection of their allotments, and
are to select 160 acres each regardless
of the appraised valuation. This means
that all lands not recorded and filed on
at the time the land^office closed in
October last will be open to the Dela-
wares from which to make selection
before those Cherokees who held ad-
mission numbers issued at that time.
Federal Judge* are Well Paid.
There Jp some speculation as to
when the four new federal judges ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt last
week will take charge and as to what
towns they will be assigned. The In-
dian territory federal judges get a
salary of $5,000 a year, a private sec-
retary, a stenographer and a mes-
senger, and are reimbursed for all ex-
penses incurred while holding court.

ury department, has decided that $50
cannot be expended for the purpose of
giving the editors of the Indian terrl*
tory a luncheon when they visit the

$50 to be used for this purpose had
been made by the commissioners of
the territory exhibit.

Whfi He Resorts to the "Brogue"
Andrew Can Get the Best of

Though Andrew Carnegie's English is
singularly elegant and pure, he has at
his command a weird Scotch dialect, saya
the Minneapolis Tribune.
Mr. Carnegie is a student of Scotch
words and idioms. He likes to point out
the oddities and freaks of his nativa
tongue. Recently, at a dinner party in
New Wk, lie said to a young woman:
''So you thLilc you can understand Scots,
en.' \Vell, then, what do we mean in
Scotland when we say a person is just
fish?"
"I don't know. What do we meant**
the young woman asked.
"\Ye mean he is a bit of a weed harunk*
scarum," said Mr. Carnegie.
"A weed harum-scarum? What is
that?"
"It is the same as wowf."
"But what is wowf?"
"Wowf is nook or sal. That is to say,
a bit by the east. Havers, lassie, ha'e ye
no Scots at all?"
Then Mr. Carnegie laughed and ex-
plained that a weed harum-scarum, and
iifish, and wowf, and nook, and sal, and
by the east all signitied one thing, "crazy."

and Brinks It.
While the mother was unpacking an
old trunk a little 18 months o!d baby
got hold of a bottle of carbolic acid
while playing on the floor and his stom-
ach was so badly burned it was feared
he would not live for he could not eat
ordinary foods. The mother says ia
telling of the case:
"It was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally I took him
into the country and tried new milk
and that was no better for him. HI
Grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts,
and I am thankful I adopted the food
for he commenced to get better right
away and would not eat anything else.
He commenced to get fleshy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he is en-
tirely well.
