North American Dredging- Company, of

More than 100 contractors and their
representatives attended the opening of
the bids. Before reading the proposals.

ouested to accompany their proposals
with a certlhed check for J3UO.000. and the
iu:0rful bidder required to give hond
in the sum of J2.000.000 to protect the
Governmant from any losa. The Govern

The Government likewise retains the

and, no- far the I'nna m r Railroad Is
concerned. It expressly was declared In
Uie Mtnr of invitation lor Wils that It
could not wisely be turned over to the
contractor. The work, to be done by the
contractor, therefore, has leen confined
to the actual work of construction. It ts
balieved by the commission that the es

of new principles of construction, which
will be discovered as the work progresses.
The proposals provide a system ear re.

INDIAN CHIEF MURDERED

PENVEU. Colo.. Jan. 12. A special
from I-rfinder. Wyo.. says that Georare
Terry, head of the Shoshone Indian Coun
cil, was murdered Thursday night as he
rami out nf the Council Juodge of the In
dian reaervation. He waa first knocked
down with a warclub and his body waa
then cut to pieces with knives. The mur
der Is supposed to be the outcome of a
family feud. rCo arrests have been made.
but susph Ion points strongly to several
Indians. Terry was the lialf-breed son of
the former famous Mormon Hishop Terry
fgt Utah, lie was a squawman. and. had
lived on th Shoghow reservation for
more than X yea re. There are several
factions amonf the India.no. and aa Tw

it ls believed that the crime was com-
nil t fed by some of them.
Th proposed abandonment of Fort
Washakie win, lUls believed by leading
citizens, lead to grave disturbances among
the Indians, who have been held in re
straint by a we of the soldiers. The Sro-
shones and Arapahoes are sworn enemies,
and there are factions in both tribes
ready to fight at any time.
Rev. John Roberts, for GO years a mis

Last year we attracted more immi-
grrants from Italy than from any other
nation. Now, how does this wonderful
United States compare with' that court-
try from- which they came? Italy has
a public debt of 178.85 per capita; the
United SUteahas a National deut of
$11.51 per capita. Italy has a money
circulation per capita of $9.75. while
the United States has a money clrcu-.
latiort of $33.08 por capita. In other
words, should a direct and Immediate
tax be levied for the pa men t of our
.National debt (,an Impossible contin
gency used merely for llustratlon) the
I'nltetl States could pay off Its obli
gation and have a balance of 121.57
per capita, whil Italy, if she paid the
whole amount of money ir. circulation,
would still owe 968.10 per capita, or
about four-flftlia o her whoU debt.
Would depopulate Chicago.
A good illustration ot . the number or
people coming to this country from Italy
may be had by the following; statement:
If the Immigration into the United States
from Italy last year had been followed
by an-emigration from the. United States
to any other country in the same propor
tion and alP these emigrants had grone
from the. city of Chicago, there would
now. be only 63 residents in the great
metropolis of the Middle West.
Sine the foundation of our Republic
the magi? of Its name has drawn 23.M0.-
000 men an women across the seas. If
they had all come from Spain, Sweden
and Norway, there wouldn't be a single
Inhabitant left todaya in the three king
doms mentioned. The movement to
" America Js distinguished from all others
migrations in that it has drawn, not

that resulted in the overthrow of the

was a movement of the chieftains, who

Pilgrimage ot Israel Outdone.
In fiearchtnjf history for some compari
son of migration, it seems that tho pil
grimage of the Israelites was the first
great? trek" of which we have an authen
tic account. Tt is believed tha t there
were about a million souls involved in
that movement, which lasted 10 years.
During a similar period the United States

Caleb and Joshua told the Israelites the
Promtaed Iand was so rich that It was
flowing with milk and honey. Let us
see how we can show up with Canan on
that score. Last year Uncle Sam's cows
produced enouach milk, butter and cheese
to sell for Soo,uoo,ooo -and our- bees are
annually producing $10,000,000 worth of
honey, which would surely be enough to
sweeten the -'half-baked cake of
Kphralm." The proceeds of our .annual
tobacco crop would reproduce the Temple

In sll the other migrations which have
affected the histurv or the wnrlrt. the

Weaker nations have been cvrmn by
stronger ones. Sometimes cultivation lias
been superseded by barbarism- Rut the
millions that come to America come not
to conquer but to be conquered; not to
change, but to be changed. Sine the
Civil War we have received 20.000.000 for
eigners, and 3et our nationality, our
governmental eystem, our modes and
thoughts and purposes are unchanged.
Could the National individuality of any
othejr people have 'been preserved undor

The political equality In America, as
well as the material advantages, tends
to draw men to our shores. - In many
states ira-misrants are permitted to vote
even before they are naturalized, mrely
by declaring their intention to become
citizens.- This great -country .of ours
offers equal advantages to all. ' Senator
Knute Nelson of Minnesota, one of the
most highly respected members of the
Senate, was a poor bov in Korwav.

WASHINGTON'. Jan. 12.-A. compre-
bensive review of the remarkable change
tbnt is ta-tclntar pise? jn China as a re
sult of the promulgation of the recent
decree reorganizing the Chinese govern
ment is supplied to tbe State Department
by - Edward T. WillianiH. Chineno Secre
tary to the American legation at Pekin.
Reciting the order for the formation of
the two commissions which were to deal
with, reform projects. Mr. Williams says
that for over a month past these com-
m.ssions have been holding daily sessions,
wherein two strong parties have been
KtniKKlIng for leadership -one bnt on
BCQurinx a liberal government on modern
lines "and the other determined that there
shall be no departure from the traditions
of the father. . So far as it has gone,
their rrport 1 a oomnromise. but many
valuable features are retained.
Dead Hand Weighs Hta-rlly
Porteii!nrly -worthv of note Is the
a hanrfnnmaiit tTis vchfima fnr a PaMnAt
and of the proposed consolidation of the
Council of Customs Affairs with tne new
Board of Fin a nee. probably because of
foreign opposition to further interference
with the customs administration. The
edict Itself thinks that the great difficulty
which has been encountered tn the reform
movement is worship of the past." for
nowhere does the dead hand weigh more
heavilv epon tha living than in China
and the first essential to sueoesa In any
new movement is to how either that It
Is not an innovation, or it least that
it la not hostlU t the spirit of the.
fathers."
The ehief feature in the edict is the
manifest endeavor to approach the Ideal
of "one man. one office.' Equally Im
portant is the abolition of the Useless
mnltirlleatlon or officer, and. with the
exception or the Board or f oreign .e-
latlons, whose composition cannot be
changed without permission from tha
oowers. there will henceforth be only one
heaa to eacn or xne Roverning oonraa.
Some of tbe old designations are quite
obsolete and the titles have been modern
ized. The Board of Punishments was
never fully described m tbe title. It will
now be called, the Board of -Law, corre
sponding with our Department of Justic.
"Not Ripe for FarlUameiit'.
"While tbe ' time is not ripe tor the
establishment of a Parliament. partial
substitute Is afforded by the appointment
Of a council, to assist in government
which is to become the mouthpiece of
th people, though they are not permitted
to nominate or elect its members. Tha
censoravte Is retained aa a terror to cor
rupt incompetent officials. ,
The press is yet in its infancy in China
and Is said to be characterized by auch
venality as to maker it unwise to give
It a full measure of liberty.

Mr. Williams calls attention to the fact
that tbe ( Commivstoni are continuing
their work of reform and the report
forming tbe basis of the edict already
issued l but partial. The provincial civil
servfr-e If now receiving attention, and
this l., f aid tafce 'ft greater task than
that Already completed. In conclusion,
Mr. Williams snj-s:
On the whole, h edict must b rirrla as
rr.arklng one of the moat important epo?h in
the hii-tory of Chin, and. irhtle the nanguinft
wilt.- undoubtedly be dlaaDpointen In the re-

Alaska.' for tour years. President Koos-
evelt 1? cillort upon to again decide
whether to send Wickersham nomina
tion to the Senate or to prive, wa- to
popular clamor and name a new man.
Great manses of charges have been
brought asainst Wlckeraham from
time to time since his nret reappoint
ment by Mr. Roosevelt, and three spe-
clal Investigations' have failed to bus-
tain these charges.
May Vell for Harmony's Sake.
This fact, liowver, did not allay the
feeling that prevailed against Wlcker-
nham in Alaska, mr the President sent
Henry K. Hoyt, Il(-trl-t Attorney at
Nome, to make a final examination dur-
ng tha past Summer, and Mr. Hoyt.
like hie predecessors, flndi no rrounda

fter, that thrc ia vry atrony oppo-

il no general objection. He realises
that if he renominates Wickersham
there will be another fla-ht In the Sen

that there will be no confirmation,
thus making; necessary another ap
pointment when Congress adjourns,
and So on IndeflnRely.
Reluctant to Let Him Go.
The President's confidence In TTick-
ersliam has never been shaken, and it
will no very much aKainst the grain
to let a ffood man go merely because
of the enemies he may have made.
Nevertheless, he realises the import
ance of havlnv the judiciary as free
from censure as possible, and It may
be determined, as a matter of policy,
to make a chanse: When the Senate
adjourned laat June, the President said
he would continue to send in Wicker-
sham's nomination until he was-on-nrmed.
unless the Senate by actual
vet should .reject him. Apparently
Mr. Iloyt'a report has caused him to re
consider. Harry Bailinger. of Port To wnscrtd,
