W. T. Whittaker, the Cherokee In-
dian who is raising money by dime

from Rev. R. 0. Grace, a former resi-
dent of Pryor Creek, requesting- him to
send him 100 of his dime books to San
Francisco to the Y. P. S. C. E. conven-
tion and he would place them where
they would be filled. The books wert
shipped promptly.
The Dawes Commission is at work
with the Creek Nation aud appear to
have much better prospects for mak-
ing a treaty with them than they did
with the Cherokee*. In fact it is gen-
erally understood that they will ex-
perience little trouble in coining to an
Agreement with that nation, and ex-
pect to do so at a very ear.y day. Any
kind of & change with the Creeks will
benefit the real Indians of that coun-
try as the whole of it has been monop-
olized by the shrewder classes.
John Wesley, a Choctaw, has been

A free-for-all fight occurred at Pick-

was a drunken row among themselves.
The chief of the Cherokee natiou has
issued a proclamation calling for a
special session of the natioual council
July 20. This action is due to the un-
settled condition of affairs and is the
result of the visit of the Dawes com-
mission and the provisions of the In-
dian appropriation bill recently passed
by congress abolishing the tribal
courts. New constructions will be
given by the council of the Cherokee
commission, giving it more scope ill its
negotiation with the Dawes commis-
sion.
'lhe statement is often made tlmt
Oklahoma has more patients in the in-
sane asylum than convicts in the peni-
tentiary. This has given rise to the
impression in many parts of the terri-
tory that there is something peculiar
to the climate or altitude that causes
an abnormal amount of insanity. Dr.
Threadgill, manager of the asylum for
the insane at Norman, said: "This
story is like many others that have
been told about Oklahoma. It is not
even true that there are more insane
patients than there are coilvPets in the
penitentiary. Many of the patients
are idiots and could not be called in-
sane in the sense in which the word is
ordinarily used. Our statistics will
show that there are fewer cases of in-
sanity in Oklahoma in proportion to
the population than in any other state.
There is no reason why it should be
otherwise. We have a dry, salubrious
climate, and our altitude is not high
enough to produce the nervous disor-
ders frequently found in mountainous
countries. Insanity was of more fre-
quency here during the first two or
three years after the 'opening' than
now, but this can be easily understood
by those who witnessed the contests
over claims by poor men who had all
their property at stake and who were
in a new country, away from the ad.
vice and companionship of their old
friends. Happily, these conditions are
practically gone and will never re-
turn."
Renewed interest is being taken in

The board of regents of the normal

situated on the same formation as that

found within six miles of the town.

Aunt Jane, who is everybody's aunt,
is one of the richest, shrewdest and
best female inhabitants of the Creek
nation. She is a mixture of Indian,
Caucasian and perhaps African. She
owns the largest hotel in Tulsa, which
nets her $000 rent a year. Aunt Jane
is moderately well educated and talks
English very fluently and correctly.
She has been married four times, but
only one of her husbands was an In-
dian, the other three being white gen-
tlemen. One of her husbands was the
somewhat noted Confederate Captain
Belcher. Aunt Jane carries on a large
stock farm on Salt Creek and if she
lives twenty-five years longer as pros-
perously us she has the last fifty, then
she will have a good chance to die
worth nearly a million, which no doubt
will go to her two children.

Chicago, July 12.—A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
1'There is serious danger of diplomatic
friction between the United States and
Japan over Hawaii. Although the
reply which Japan has made to Secre-
tary Sherman's note concerning the
intentions of this government has
been received, the state department
holds it in secrecy. It is known, how-
ever, that the reply is not a.- amiable
as had been hoped for.
"The reply of the Japanese govern-
ment is of such tone and there are
such suspicious movements of certain
Japanese warships that the adminis-
tration is afraid Japan may be medi-
tating some coup de force in Honolulu.
It is understood that in their reply the
Japanese still contend that they have
equal rights with the United States in
Hawaii, and that the attempt, of the
United States to annex the islands
without consultation with Japan is a
breach of.good faith.
"One thing is certain, and that, is
that no matter which way the diplo-
matic negotiations turn the adminis-
tration does not propose to be caught
napping. If the Japanese make a
show of force at Honolulu, with or
without an announced intention of de-
manding that the Hawaiian govern-
ment comply with the demands for
reparation, which were submitted
some time ago, this government will
do the same thing. No one need
be surprised if the warships of
the United States and of Japan frown
on one another in Honolulu within
the next two weeks. War is not ex-
pected by any member of the Wash-
ington government familiar with the
facts, but it is admitted that mobiliza-
tion of naval craft at Honolulu would
be sufficient to produce a hazardous
situation. Already there Is a good
deal of animosity toward the United
States on the part of the Japan naval
officers and an overt act on their part
might precipitate a great deal of
trouble.
"During the last ten days the Navy
departmant has made special prepara-
tions of a quiet sort for mobilization
of our naval forces on the Pacific at
Honolulu should the turn of diplomacy
make such action necessary.*'

Washington, July 12. — United
States Consul Oeneral Leo has ren-
dered an account to the government
of his expenditures from the fund ap-
propriated by Congress for the relief
of destitute American citizens in Cuba.
His figures were presented to the
cabinet yesterday, nnd the showing
was remarkable, for it appeared that
of the total of 5550,000 at the disposal
of the consul general he had expended
only SO,000, and yet had given sub-
stantial relief to every distressed
American whom he could find ready
to receive aid, and besides had shipped
some of them back to the United
States.
