PHILIPPINE ARMS
STOLEN IN TRANSIT
Thieves on Steamship or Trains
Break Open Case and Take
Weapons of War.
SHOW IMPLEMENTS OF BATTLE
Guns, Some 140 Years Old, Dig-
played in Filipino Exhibit
Kow iloro Uses a
Sword.
Somewhere in transit thieves broke
open a case ot war arms consigned to
the Philippine Commission. Doctor Jenks.
in whose department these arms are to
he exhibited, discovered the lows yester
day morning.
In opening one of the case he found
that three bolos. a couple of bows and
arrows, a shield and a dasKcr had been
stolen. He also found that a a effort had
been made to extract other goods from the
ca?e. but without succeff. . ,
"I suprjosc that th theft vat made
either on the steamshln or In Manila."
said Doctor Jenks. Our guards here are
watchlnc everything very, close and It
seems Impossible that the theft could have
been committed here on" the grounds. I
am sorry "to lose the-arms and I shall
at ence take steps to discover where the
theft was committed."
Doctor Jeak3 yesterday received., a big
consignment of arms of the "Philippine
tribes that Trill be Interesting- In the
collection are old-fashioned Arab match
lock suns, brought Into the Philippines
from Arabia 13 years ago: a collection
of ancient flint locks that date back to the
era of the American revolution and also
a large cumber of old-time Springfield
rlfies. Most of these ancient arras were,
secured by the tribes from Arabia and
China, and Yankee traders are responsible
for the bringing. Into the Islands the old
Civil War weapons.
There are also a number of wooden
suns. These "were carried by the Filipinos
during the Insurrection to oec-ive the
Americana, and make them think that
they had more firing anus than they
possessed. These wooden arms are a
species of Filipino bluff. They were used
extensively and with effect on the Span
iards, but the Americans were cot cowed
by,.' show of arms.
NUMBER OF SWORDS.
la the exhibit is a vast number of
swords, some Of them artistically engraved
and i some Inlaid in silver and copper. The
Moro sword la incased in a wooden, scab
bards It is tied In with grass and carried
on the shoulder, so that the 'Moro appears
friendly until he gets up to his victim,
when he si?lngs bis aword-wlth the scab
bard, the blade, of course, cutting the
grass'ropes. The result is that the enemy
Is cut into two parts, and the scabbard
falls to the ground.
Dirks of native make, hatchets with
which the savage tribes rut off heads,
execution knives for beheading and many
other odd implements of warfare, includ
ing: spears; are in the' display. Most of
these implements ore made by Moros. The
bar iron has been secured from China, and
fashioned into' war arms by tfcem.
It is said that the Spaniards attempted
to build a railroad, but the railroads' were
torn up by the Moros and the rails made
into war implements. Some of these
crude affairs, shaped .for war hatchets and
beheading blades are shown In the collec
tion. Natives near old Cavlte extracted the
iron work from Montjo's fleet after Dewey
sank It and converted the iron Into war
arms, and some of these are also shown.
One is & huge hatchet, clumsy, but he
blade Is as sharp as a razor.
In the collection arc suits of armor of
the Moros, made of copper chain, fastened
to' carlbo bones, and each suit weighs
about sixty pounds. There are helmets of
the, same zneterial and an endless array
of other articles that the Philippine tribes
use in their warfare.-

Washington. May 7. Secretary Hitch-:
, cock and other high officials of the Interior
Department feel greatly discouraged over
reports received at the department to the
effect tthat the lands of the lnttrmarrled
cltiiens and freedmen In yie Creek Na
tion are being gobbled up by land sharks,
since the Indian appropriation bill became
a law. carrying with, it .provisions for the'
removal of restrictions from the lands of
freedmen and Intermarried' citizens of In

The department feels that its campaign
of educating the Indian to appreciate the
real worth of his property has gpne for
naught. Both Secretary Hitchcock and
Assistant Secretary Ryan expressed dis
appointment at the way matters are de
veloping "In the Territory since the pass
age of the clause removing', the restric

said that under the rules and regulations'
of the department, these Indians had all

the appraised value for their lands, and
that the department's system of scaled
bids had DUt an effectual quietus on the.
speculators who had previously flourished

The same corporations and land devcf
opment companies so severely criticised
In the Bonaparte report are said to be
thriving' on this division of spoils.
Asked If any Federal employes were
participating In this "easy picking," Sec
retary Hitchcock's answer was. a decided
"No." He stated, further, that none of
the employes under his Immediate super
vision participated in any way .whatsoever
in the development of the Territory, and
that the same could be said of the .Dawes
Commission, all of whose members have
withdrawn from the business interests
with which they were identified.
The department looks for a repetition of
these evils as soon as the Cherokee allot
ments liave been completed. Agents of
the same investment and land concerns
are said to have already covered this
ground thoroughly, and final action by
the Dawes Commission in the matter of
allotments is all they await before ex
tending their field of operations into the
Cherokee Nation.

Tonner, to-day Issued a circular letter to
Indian agents and bonded school superin

Washington. May 7. When the House
of ' Representatives passed the state

bate that lasted three and one -half
hours, the good people of four enterprising
Territories lying in the southwestern part
of the United States were in a position to
sit up and communicate with the flag
weavers, for, if there' is no hitch In the
programme. Old Glory wilt next session
unfold Itself with the additional pride of
having had two more stars added to the
forty-five which now fill the field of blue.
Oklahoma is taking In Indian Territory,
while New Mexico will lose Its identity by
being absorbed by Arizona. It is all the
result of a bitter battle on the part of the
Westerners for the rights which statehood

strictly a party vote.
The State ot Oklahoma must perfect Its
.stipulated State organization, and on
March i. 1306, may send to the House five
members and two to the Senate. This bill
appropriates, money,, sets aside public
lands for a school system and prohibits
plural marriages.
The conditions relating to the admission
of Arizona are about the same, except that
Arizona will choose only two Representa
tives. It will be admitted six months aft
er the approval of the act it its citizens
organize a state government in compli
ance with law at that time.
The capital of Oklahoma Is fixed at
Guthrie until 1910. That of Arizona will
be Santa Fe.
NEXT TO TEXAS.
Arizona will be the second largest State
in the Union. Its combined area will ag
gregate 235.C30 square miles, .Texas lead
ing with 2S3.760 square miles. New York
State, with its 49,10 square miles, might
be lost to sight in the wide domain of its
new sister. Oklahoma is not much larger
than New York, having T0.CO square miles
to her credit. In population Arizona is
sadly lacking, but under the inspiration ot
statehood the wise statesmen of Arizona
maintain that a tew years will see her In
close competition with all of the West
ern States. The population of Arizona Is
S2WU and that of Oklahoma 790,391. There
Is almost a square mile ot land for every
resident of the new State of Arizona.
The area of New York and New England
combined is about equal to Arizona. Its
scenery is sublime, with vast volcanic pla
teaus from 3.C00 to 7,500 feet high In the
northern part and deep canons of the rivers
in the southern part. The Colorado River
separates Arizona from California, and Ne
vada for 400 miles. A striking feature of
the river is its passage through walls ot
marble and granite from 1,000 to 1.600 feet
high, displaying the most grotesque forms,
their wlldness In keeping with the mighty
mountain chains that traverse the Terri
tory. The climate varies considerably
from intense high temperature during the
summer months to extreme cold in winter.
The air Is so dry, however, that sunstroke
Is unknown, though the thermometer reg

known variety is grown. Fruits ripen
readily and grow to considerable size, including-
oranges, lemons, limes, peaches,
apples, apricots, figs, dates, olives and
berries. There is also a great cattle-raising
industry in this Territory, upward of
LSO0.0CO bead now grazing over the green
fields of many thousand acres.
In minerals Arizona Is very productive.
"Millions of dollars have been Invested in
smelting, crushing and milling plants. It
Is estimated that the product of the mines
yearly exceeds ll,O0O.0OO. When Edward
Schleffelln departed .upon a prospecting
trip he was asked what he expected to
find.
"A mine," he replied.
"You'll find a tombstone." a friend re
marked. He did find a mine, but the pre
diction of his friend came true, for on
that spot sprang up tho city ot Tomb
stone. Tucson is the principal city. It has six
churches, five newspapers, gas. ice. elec
tric light and waterworks. Some of the
principal places In the Territory are Tuc
son, Phoenix, Tombstone, Prescott, Globe.
Nogales, Tempe, Florence, Flagstaff and
Yuma. m
New Mexico, which Arizona' as a State
will absorb, was organized ln.t, though
it was settled in 1593.
The Territory was the scene of bitter
fighting during the War of the Rebellion,
such hardy pioneers and plainsmen as Kit
Carson, St. Vraln and others organizing
troops with which to fight for the Union
cause. The name of the Territory, Neuvo
Mexico, given by Espejo, an early Spanish
explorer, was bestowed because It resem
bled the mining regions of Mexico.
New Mexico Is larger than Great Britain

New England and equal In area to New

FERTILE RIVER LANDS.
In the valleys of the Rio Grande. San

the land Is very fertile. Some of the fruits
grow to great size. Including grapes,
peaches, applrs, apricots, pears, melons
and quinces. The yearly output of wine
is more than 400,000 gallons. Some of the
cabbages grown in the Territory weigh as
much as sixty pounds. Beans, which are
extensively grown, form a chief article of
diet, with onions and sweet and Irish pota
toes. Grain is grown to a considerable ex
tent. Gold and silver mines are worked at
many points, and with profit. Lead and

and stock shipping. The Territory has
several railroad systems Intersecting It.
Before the Government purchased Okla
homa from the Indians' it occupied the
central portion of the Indian Territory, a
great, fertile country toward which white
settlers In other States had always looked
with envious eyes. The land was pur
chased from the Creek Indians and thrown
open to hetneseekers in 1ES9. a wild com
pany of people gathering on its borders
in thst year ready to rush forward at the
starting gun to reach the most fertile sec
tions ot the country which Uncle Sam was
ready to bestow.
Before the opening of this grant, white
men. under Captain David L. Payne and
other adventurers, were repulsed by
United States troops, who patrolled the,
frontier. During the administration of
President Harrison the opening of M6e
0 acres of Creek land was proclaimed.
Also 300.000 acres or Seminole land.
FULL-GROWN CITY IN A DAY.
Guthrie, the now thriving city, arose In
less than a day with 10.000 inhabitants.
Oklahoma signifies "beautiful country."
and was rightly named. It Is a paradise,
a "boomers' paradlze," again rightly
termed. The first Governor was George
W. Steele, appointed by the President.
Oklahoma is about the size of Ohio, and
Is bordered by Texas, Colorado. Kansas,
and the Indian Territory. Green valleys,
great forests of oak and silvery streams
make up the country. Some of the plains
are. treeless and arid, principally Li the
West, but the other sections make up in
richness what the Western lacks. Many
Indian tribes, supported by the Govern
ment, roam over the unsettled sections of
the Territory. Upon the reservations the
Indians are well to do farmers, and are
gradually cultivating a taste for thrift and
Industry.
The Territory of Oklahoma was organ
ized the year after it was settled, and has
grown In fourteen years with amazing
rapidity. Its cities rival those ot the East
and excel many of the other Western
cities In enterprise and accommodations.
Indian Territory was old before Oklahoma
was born, yet It to-day Is absorbed by the
growing infant. Some ot the principal
places in Oklahoma are Guthrie. Okla
homa City, Kingfisher, Norman, Edward.
El Reno. Frisco, Reno City, Stillwater and
Union City.
Indian Territory was purchased with
Louisiana from France In 1S03. It was not
settled however, until twenty-four years
later, being practically founded by the
Creek Indians. As its name signifies, it
was set apart by the United States for the
Indians, a Territory in which the tribes
might pursue their natural course free
from the influences of tho whites, but under-
Government Jurisdiction.'
There is Uttle snow or cold during-the
winter months; no days or weeks of rain;
Just a silvery, unbroken spring, which
leads to a. long and hot summer, though
the heat, because of the dryness of the
air, is never excessive.
TRIBAL GOVERNMENT.
An international council ot the tribes
has heretofore administered government,
or pretended to, but the United States
Government exercises Its rights ot domain
through Its agents, who are Interested In
and are capable of handling- the Indian
problem. The Five Civilized Nations each
have their Chiefs, who are chosen by
vote.
The school question is an Interesting
problem and one that wilt give the new
State more than serious thought. There
are about 75.00O Indians in the Territory,
and these Indians must be kept civilized.
Education is sought by the children and
certainly encouraged by the parents, for
there are more than 250 Indian schools,
supported by the Five Nations at an an
nual outlay of S3CO.000. These schools In
clude high, common, private and semi
naries. Many ot the tribes are encour
aging religion. The Territory is studded
with churches of every denomination,
though the Baptists dominate. The Five
Nations include the Cherokecs, one of the
wealthiest; the Chickasaw, the Creek, the
Choctaw and the Seminole.
The reservation Indians in the foothills
of the Boston Mountains Include Qua
paws, Feorlas, Kaskasklas, Ottawa?, Wy
andottes, Mlamls. Shawnees. Modocs,
Senecas and Cayugas from tribes scat
tered in aU parts of the United States.
Some of the chief places in the Terri
tory are Lehigh, McAIester. Krebs, Mus
kogee. P.urcell, Vlnlta. Tahlequah, Ard
more, Atoka and Eufaula.
TO PROTEST AGAINST
PRESIDENT'S ACTION.
Washlnjrton Lawyers Feel They
Have Been SIlKhted In Appoint

The Republic Bureau.
14lh St. asd Pemuylraala ATe.
Washington. Mny 7. A meeting of the
members of the Washington bar was held
to-day to protest against the action of
the President of the United States. The
Washington lawyers are up In arms
against the President for what they term
unwarranted haste in the appointment ot
a successor to Justice Pritchard of the
District Supreme Court.
The bar association called a meeting for
3 o'clock last Friday afternoon to take
action on the vacancy caused by Ur,
transfer of Judge Pritchard to the United
States Circuit Court. Shortly before that
hour the news was conveyed around that
the President had nominated a Vermont
man for the place.
It Is claimed by members of tiie bar
that there was no necessity for ihe haste
displayed by the President, especially
when Judge Pritchard had consented to
remain In his old position until June L
at least. The contention Is also rjade
that the President was aware on the day
he made the appointment the Washing
ton lawyers were to hold a meeting to
recommend one of their number tor the
vacancy.
.The lawyers feel that they rightfully
should have a say in the matter of the
appointment of a Judg bsXor whom their
oases must be tried,

QLBRICH PAVILION
A DREAM PALACE
German Eetreat in Varied Indrts-
tries Building Dedicated by
Doctor Lewald.
ART AND NATURE COMBINED,
Prince and Princess Hohenlohe
Attend Reception in Structure
Where Ideal Plans Have
Been Carried Out
A more delightful retreat for the f
tigued World's Fair visitor than the Ol
brich Pavilion in the Court of the Palaca
of Varied Industries, which was dedicated
yesterday afternoon. Is considered beyond
human conception.
Rippling fountains playing around beau
tiful statuary, basins of- sparkling water
surrounded by green grass, shrubbery and
blooming flowers are Nature's own me
dium of refreshment.
The dedication was celebrated by a re
ception tow hlch several hundred guests
were invited. Doctor Lewald, Imperial
German Commissioner, received the visi
tors, assisted by several members of the
German Commission. There were no of
ficial ceremonies.
Prince and Princess Hohenlohe-SchlUlng-fuerst
were the guests of honor. Mrs.
Manning. President of the Board ot Lady
Managers, and President Francis of tho
Exposition called and admired the pa
vilion. The Olbrich Pavilion Is absolutely mod
ern and is built after original Ideas. The .
Idea was conceived by Professor Joseph
Olbrich of Darmstadt. It Is best described,
as the country home of a rich man. who
is a lover of art and spares no expense
to gratify his tastes.
The house Is built so that it may serve
ns a summer and winter home. The dif
ferent rooms are finished and furnished
by various German firms. Each room Is
completed after the Idea of the artist who
designed It. Even the slightest details of
the artist are followed, such as new and
unique designs for flower pots and match
safes. The builder was not permitted to
change the plans in the slightest degree.
Built around a large court which con
tains basins and fountains and flowers is
a large porch which extends around three
sides of the court. The rooms of the
house open onto the porch. AU of the
rooms are finished with richly inlaid
woods, which are allowed to preserve
their native colors. The walls of the
rooms are decorated with silk and satin,
richly blended with the woods. The colors
are perfectly harmonious, although two
shades ot the same color are often used
in- producing- the effects.'
Rarer statuary is scattered about the
pavilion. The statuary belongs to the
Grand Duke of Hesse and he loaned i. to
the German Commission for use in the
Olbrich Pavilion. .
The pavilion will be open to Exposition
visitors every day.
"It is entirely new," said Doctor
Lewald. "I think no one has ever Imagined
a house like trls before. The Govern
ment assisted by the manufacturers of
Germany has done its best. I hope the
people will like the model."
PATAGONIAN DEATH WATCH
WAS HELD IN VAIN.
Savages at World's Fair Taaa-fct
-That Bronchitis "Would Prove Fa
talDisease 5ew Them.
The Ieath watch was begun in the Pata
gonlan village at the World's Fair- Thurs
day night. It was the firm belief among;
them that two of their members were jro
lng"to die. There was a blowing: ot horns
and a beatlrur of pans and a moaning; and
chanting as Is customary when a bodv 19
about to die.
The cause of the excitement was that
bronchitis broke out in two of the Pata
