A treaty la now before congree by
which tbe Klauiatb Indiana ire to cede
disputed porlion of their reservation
to the United Stales. Tba excluded
tract lie on the west tide of the reser

Cascade range. Large area of this
land are sterile and wortheless, but
other tract are extremely tertil and
tbera 1 a considerable quantity of fine
timber, which under present conditions

become valuable when tba railroads
penetrate this country.
Every now and then the Boera demon
Urate the fact they still inhabit tbe turf,
by capturing few companies of B.ltleb
infsntry or some such exploit. Lately
tbeir successes have been very frequent
but they are able to operate only on o
mall a scale that the headway Is scarce
ly discernible against the vast army ol
British that are in South Africa. Prob
ably if England coul.i bare foreseen tlic
difuculties and disaster of tbi war and
more fully realized tbe desperate stub
bornness of the people with whom (he
1 dealing, ah would not have gone to
war with luch cheerful alacrity. Now,
however, she know no other way out
of the scrape, except to go through with
It.
America I not deficient In lloier a
la newly evinced by an outrage recently
perpetrated on Chinamen by white men
and Mexican near Riverside, Cat., A
gang of Chinamen were captured and
hauled In farm wagon to a lonely
place ou the river bottom and were
there treated moat brutally and beaten
Into Insensibility. The excuse was that
everal Mexican girl bad been die
charged from working in a cannery and
that the Chinese had been hired in
their places. The real reason how
ever, which the excuse gave opportunity
of putting into practise, was that the
perpetrator were lavage and brutal In
their natuie and only waiting to vent
their inaliciousnesa The Chinamen
seldom dart to resent abuae and public
opinion I Indifferent to the treatment
be receive, a he I felt to be an inter
lope and not wanted here. The offend
ers in an occasion like tbe one mentioned
should be made to feel the strong arm
of the law a suddenly, decisively and
severely al the circumstance will ad
mit. The heathen Boxer ha the ex
cuse of Ignorance, euporstitlon and
fanaticism on hi aide ; palliating cir
cumstances, denied to tlu enlightened
avage.
Again the hour ol the doridod New
. Year resolution. There I however, no
, . , . more worthy thing recorded than the
good resolution, necessary and prelimi
nary to good accomplished. There i no
better time, either, lor the inauguration
of good resolve than the beginning 01
this new year aud century. Thousands
ol people throughout the world will
resolve that the coming year ahall be
the beet year of their live and whether 1
they succeed or not their effort In the
direction, however alight, can not 'jil ol
being productive of good to themselves
and to other. The next beat thing to
access it honest failure. The effort is
the Important thing after all. Thoae
who rise do ao by constant effort. Any
laxity results In a retrograde movement
and it requires no effort to pursue a
downward course. Effort in the right
direction I not to be despised or
derided, however Inconsiderable it may
be. It counts In the aggregate and I'
Influence can not be lost. Nothing that
I elevating or ennobling ia to be treated
with contempt and nothing 1 more
ennobling than an honest resolve for
better thing. The element In the
matter most worthy of derision Is the
ease with which good resolutions are no
often abandoned and discarded and the
discouragement which ao olten attends
light failure. It should be mure
generally comprehended that ultimate
success la generally achieved only after
many failures. If every person should,
at Ins beginning of thia year, 1001,
make an honest resolution to do in every
way the very best they are capable, the
good result would be ao sudden, empha
tic and undeniable that the world
would be atartled at itaell and ita capabilities.

A sensational arrest has grown out ol
the laat "hold up" ol a stago couch near
Kkeview, Dec 21, The l.akcv.ew "Ex

It was known that $100 in currency,
gold and silver had been abstia.'led
Irom the lettera in the Paisley mail, aud
that at least one ol the bills a ten elol
lor note was marked and a description
the bill carefully noted by the sender.
Business men weie notitle.l to keep a
look-out lor this particular bill, and each
was giyen the mimler of it:
When M. It. Hart, of the Huket store,
learned the description ol thia bill, on
Tuesdny, h Weill tohis place of busiuesa
and found Ihn filial paper that will go
far toward the conviction of the man
who patscd it.
The man who parsed that bill was
Bob Ogleahy, the driver alio alleges that
he was held up by a highwavinan
Sheriff Dunlap and Marshal Whorton
concluded that thia was evidence suit)
cienl to warrant an arrest, and, con
sequently, Ogleaby wa taken into
custody. Tuesday evening, and wa
charged with the stolons crime ol rob
bing the Dented States mall. Ogtesbr
was locked up to await hi preliminary
eiiimluation.
The arrest of Hob Ogleaby on this
serious charge was a girat aetipriie to
many people, as he was favorably kuoon
and well liken) generally. Th (act that
the dago aaslatein arriving by about
on hour and a half, auJ did not reach
her until long after dark that nlbl a
circumstance rather unusual and the
further fact that Oglesby passed the ill
lated bill, are ftave matter which he

There la more delay In the comple
tion of the large number of torpedo
boat and torpedo boat destroyers
which the government is building un
der contracts at various yards in va
rious parts of the country. A year
ago th navy department consented to
extend the time of tbe contractors en
gaged on this work for 12 months. It
was expected that there would be no
difficulty in completing tbe craft
within that period. The delay was oc
casioned, the contractor say, by the
scarcity of steel.
Th particular quality of material
required waa such as to demand spe
cial processes, and the steelmakers re
fused to take orders for the steel when
they were loaded up with other order
requiring leaa care and producing
greater returns. The representations
were sustained by the department in
an Inquiry conducted on Its own ac
count, and the contracts accordingly
were extended with the expectation
that there would be no more difficulty
and that the boata would b completed
by this time.
The ytara" extension has expired, and
most of the boats and destroyers are
still far from completion, many of
them are but three-quarters ready
for trial, and a great deal of work re
mnips tq be done on board the ships be
fore they can be turned over to the
government. It Is quite evident, say
thenavn.1 constructors, that there mint
be another extension of time, or the
contractor will be subjected to heavy
fines which will deprive them o.- the
meager profit involved In the construc
tion of such small ships of war as tor

When the many relic of prehistoric
days which have recently been nn
enrUied at Weir Creek Point, near
Tlirogs .Neck, are exhibited in the Amer
ican il use urn of Natural History, that
institution will have come Into posses
sion of an archaeological collection of
great scientific vclue.
Itaymond Harrington, who is In
charge of the museum's local field work,
has met with unexpected success in his
lntcst investigations at Weir (reek
Point, between Fort Blociim and City
Island. Skeletons, argillite, imple
ments of antique shape, atone cooking
utensils, pottery beads and ':pts have
been found in shell heaps eiv.ee Sep
tember 15, the pieces of bickin pot
tery snd stone implements discovered
at the bottom of the excivutiins being
much moie crude than there near the
surface. Thii differenee, Mr. Harring
ton ante, teils of the progress n.ade in
the handicraft In hundreds of years.
All of the rerics com from a period of
dirtant antiquity.
Twenty skeletons, which have already
arrived at themuseum, were found at
Port Washington, on Long . Island,
where exenvntiona were before the el
entists began to dig at Weir Creek
Point. They were found In pits about
four fret deep, vthich had been filled
with dirt, hcl!s and broken pottery.
The skeleton of a dog was fouiid under
the skeleton of an adult in cr.e grnve.
A stone arrow point between I he ribs
tells how the canine died. Tle:e were
fractures in the skulle of two skele
tons, probably narriors, found in a
single grnve, and the bones of three
children were unearthed together.
Mr. Harrington's most Important dis
coveries at Weir Creek Point have been
eonpitonc cocking utensils, a rolled
copper head, tellingof probable centnet
with I-ake .Superior Indians, argillite
Jmplcmri.ti. a- row points, stone knives,
bone hi ; U n:(T,ts and split hones. A
stone nhl. tired In a bow diill In the
manufacture nf wnmpum, is regarded
os a i n 1 ii iih' e find.
Mr. Ilnr- Inpton expects to find skele
tons nenr the botdcrs of the Weir
Creek Point shell heap. He believes
the Indians of that village had more
retract fcr tr-Mr d?r.d than to bury
them in the piles of refuse which the
hell heaps ultimately became.
RAPID-FIRE GUN TESTED.

Finn! tests were made at Sandy
Hook, X. J., the other day to prove
the relative merits of rapid-fire guns

and the iMsnppruritig er.rri.-.gc. These

The tests were the outcome of a
disenrsion thnt had been started by
Gen. Miles rei-.irdlng the use of the

Miles' contention being that a gun
mount., on this carriage cannot fire
with si.Tclet.t rapidity. Gen. Miles,
upon the board's return, refused to
discuss the result In detail, but snld
that ten shots each were fired, from
the five-inch gun and the six-Inch gun
on the disappearing esrringe. When

"A report will be made, but there
