Washington. "Oct ft. The sixtieth
annual report of the commissioner of
Indian affairs has just been submitted
to the secretary of the interior.
After alluding to increased public in
terest in the subject of the Indian ad
ministration the commissioner outlines
what he regards aa the settled policy of
the government in its dealings with the
Indians, emphasizing comprehensive
ness, definiteness of aim, clearness
of outline, adaptation of means tc
ends, justice, firmness, humanity,
radicalness, stability and time aa the
essential element of such a policy. He
thinks that the great forces now at
work land in severalty, with its ac
companying dissolution of the tribal
relation and breaking up of the reser
vation, the destruction of the agency
system, citizenship and all that belongs
thereto of manhood, independence.
rarivueae and datv. adaaattai
ffleeks to bring -ttwr-rferSr
tion of Indiana into right relation
ship with the age in which they live
and to put into their hands the tools
by which they may gain for themselves
food and clothing and build for them
selves homes will, if allowed to con
tinue undisturbed a reasonable length
of time, accomplish their beneficent
ends.
The report discusses at' considerable
length the political status of the In
dians, tracing the evolution of the
present policy of dealing with the In
dians as wards.
After giving an account of the
progress made in the allotment of
lands to the Indians during the past
yeur, the commissioner says: "This
radical and far reaching revolution in
the bocial status of the Indians is mak
ing satisfactory progress. Land in
severalty has in it the promise and the
potency of great things, but only the
promise and the potency. In many
cases it brings unutterable woe and in
all it is liable to leave the Indians
worse off than before. I am not in re
ceipt of enough information nor, in
deed, has sufficient time elapsed to en
able me to judge of the practical results
of the allotment policy. I havo seen
nothing during the post year, however,
to change my views as to its ultimate
success."
Regarding the reduction of the reser
vations, which has proceeded with
great rapidity during the year, the re
port says: "While it is possible to
push this work too rapidly, perhaps, I
do not hesitate to say that the ultimate
destruction of the entire system of
reservations is inevitable. There is no
placo for it in our present condition of
life. The million of acres of Indian
lands now lying absolutely unused "are
needed as homes for a very rapidly in
creasing population, and must be uti
lized. Whatever right and title the In
dians have in them is subject to
and mnst yield to the, de
mands of civilization. They "should
be protected in the permanent posses
sion ol all the land that is necessary
for their own support and whatever is
ceded by them should be paid for at its
full market value. But it 'eanaot be
expected under any circumstances that
these reservations can remain intact
hindering the progress of civilization,
requiring an army to protect them
from the encroachments of home seek
ers and maintaining a perpetual abode
of savagery and animalism.'
The report discusses at length the
subject of Indian education. The en
rollment of Indian pupils for the year
ending June 30 has been 17,290, an in
crease over last year of 1,549. The
amount of congressional appropriation
for Indian education available for the
year to come is nearly two and one
quarter millions of dollars. The com
missioner regards the education of the
Indian as the only solution of the In
dian problem.
Regarding contract schools the com
missioner recommends the maintenance
of the status qao for the present, but
urges that the appropriation of public
iunus lor sectarian eaucation is con
trary to the spirit of the constitution,
opposed to public policy and ought, at
an early date, to be discontinued He
expresses strong appreciation of the
missionary work done among the In
dians by the churches, and thinks the
present time is peculiarly favorable for
the increase of such work.
The report discusses a great variety
of topics and contains full statistical
tables and other information regarding
all matters that have been under con
sideration during the past year.

EGAN'S REFUGEES.
While Taking No ActlTo step the Chilian
Junta Bcfnsca to Abandon Its rotltlon.
Santiago, Chili, Oct 6. The. Chilian
government has so far evinced no in
tention of abandoning its position that
it has a perfect right to arrest persons
as they enter or leave the precincts of
the American legation. But while
strenuously insisting upon the posses
sion of this abstract right the govern
ment is at present making no attempt
to nut it in practice. Tho partisans of
Balmaeeda who took refuge under
Minister Egan's roof are still there and
no arrests have been made during tho
past few days.
It can not be learned that the gov
ernment has in coutcmplation any plan
for asserting in the near future the
right of arrest that is claimed. But it
is thought that the present unsatis
factory situation cannot be of long con
tinuance. la accordance with instructions re
ceived from the state department at
Washington Minister Egan has given.
the, junta to understand, by a formal
jipd official notice, that if the Chilian
authorities continue to maintain their
present attitude the friendly relations
between Chili and the United States
will be interrupted. The junta's reply
to. this notice is awaited with great in
terest What Minister Egan's next step
will be in case the reply is unfavorable
is not known.
The United States steamship San
Francisco, which is returning from the

New York, Oct 5. There is an heir
ess to the honse of Cleveland. The ex
president's beautiful young wife pre
sented him with a daughter at their
home, 813 Madison avenue. Little Miss
Cleveland was bora at six minutes after
midnight Saturday morning. She
tipped the scales at eight pounds, and
after testing her lungs fell into a quiet
slumber. Dr. J. D. Bryant was in at
tendance Mother and child are doing
well.
The news did not become known un
til nearly noon. Then it spread with
the utmost rapidity, both in the city
and to other parts of the country.
MRS. GKOVER CLEVELAND.
During the afternoon many flower
were sent to Mrs. Cleveland, and both
father and mother received hearty con
gratulations. The messenger boys be
gan to move up the avenue with tele
graphic messages from all parts of the
country.
The ex-president bears his new hon
ors modestly. He said: "I don't want
to brag any, but this baby is as stout
and as good as most babies are when
they are three or four days old."
Mr. and Mrs, Cleveland were married
June 31, 1886. at the White house.
Miss Frances Folsom was then a young
girl, a ward of Mr. Cleveland. She
entered the White honse with little ex
perience in the social world, but by her
tact and womanly demeanor and
sweetness of disposition she made
friends of all with whom she
came in contact Her husband
had enemies. The fearlessness with
which he executed his trust made for
him foes. But for his wife even the
most bitter of these had naught but
good to say.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
Strange Story Abont aa Interview Between
Qneon Victoria and tho German Emperor
Bow tho Qneen's Tact and Flimni
Prevented War in Earope,
New York, Oct 5. The Berlin cor
respondent of the Herald, cabling hid
paper; says: "I have now authority to
say that had it not been for the excel
lent woman's common sense of Queen
Victoria and the sound judgment of the
czar who, in the moment of emergency,
acted in perfect accord, Europe would
perhaps at this very moment be in the
throes of war. The facta are these: Last
summer when Emperor William was
at Osborne he one evening asked the
queen to accord him a confidential
conversation upon a matter of the
ntmost importance. The request
was accorded and the emperor
said in substance: 'I have something
on ray mind. I seek your counseL
The situation in Germany is intolerable.
It can not last twelve months longer.
The country can not bear the present
financial strain required to keep np its
present fighting strength. Socialism
is daily assuming more terrible propor
tions. Germany's allies especially
Italy are no longer able to keep up
the present pace. The strain ia too
great on them. France, on the con
trary, is becoming stronger and
stronger, but France is isolated. It
is absolutely necessary that Ger
many should seize the first occa
sion to declare war upon her. The
latest moment to which this can pos
sibly be put off is the spring of 1892.'
"The queen listened to all the em
peror said and replied: 'As long as I
live I firmly hope that peace will be
maintained. I am now old, but still I
feel that my last years shall not bo
saddened by more blood flowing in Eu
rope. The responsibility that rests
upon you is a terrible one. It would,
in my opinion, be criminal for any sov
ereign or statesman to attempt to pre
cipitate events. In any case, what you
have said causes me the greatest un
easiness. "The conversation ended. The
queen that very evening sent for Lord
Salisbury and informed him of this
strange conversation, and desired him
to talk with the emperor about it I
am afraid that would only make things
worse, your majesty,' replied Lord
Salisbury, fori think if I attempted
to aiscuss tne question the emperor
might cut matters short by taking me
by tbe shoulders and pushing mo out
of. the window. Besides, it might ex
cite bis majesty t j do exactly the con
trary to what I might suggest'
"'No,' continued Lord Salisbury,
there is in my opinion only the one
thing to do write an autograph letter
to the czar, telling him frankly what
bas occurred and urge him, in the
interest of the peace of Europe, to lose
no time in making a friendly advance
toward Franco in order to convince
Emperor William that Russia would
not consent to sec France wantonly at
tacked. This would cause the emperor
to reflect and, in my opinion, this is
the most effective way of preserving
the peace.'
" 'It wonld be well,' continued Lord
Salisbury, if England should also
simultaneously make an advance
toward France' -
"The .queen at once followed Lord
Salisbury's advice. A confidential en
voy was forthwith intrusted with tbe
qneen's autograph letter to the czar.
The czar fully appreciated the critical
situation. The French fleet was then
in S weden. The czar immediately sent
an invitation for it to come to Cron
stadt The queen at tho same time in
vited the French fleet to visit Ports
mouth. The rest is already a matter
of history."
CHONG SAM'S APPEAL.
The I'reaMeut Unable to Allow Hla Ketarn
to Canada Although Asked By tho Brltivh
Minister.
Wasiiixgtow, Oct 5. The case of
Cliong Sam, a Chinaman who entered
the United States from Canada and who
was ordered returned to China, has
been finally disposed of. Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British minister. Inter
ested himself in the case on the ground
that the man had a domiciliary resi
dence in Canada, and he should there
fore be allowed to return to Canada,
and in order1 to accomplish that pur
pose he urged that the president grant
a pardon to the Chinaman.
The president wrote to tbe secretary
of state as follows: "I havo had under
consideration the case of Chang Sam, a
Cbincso subject who crossed from, the
Dominion of Canada to the United
States, and was arrested at Port Huron
for a violation' of our exclusion act, and
in whiso behalf Sir Julian Pauncefote,
her majesty s minister to this country.
hail made some representations and the
request that this man should be re
turned to Canada.
"You will please say to Sir Julian
that if this were a single case, it would
give this government great pleasure to
show its consideration by complying
with his request, but there is involved
in the case, in my opinion, the whole
question of the success and enforce-
ment of our exclusion acts. If China-
men can land, in Canada and
suffer no penalty for crossing
our line than that ot returning to
Canada, from which they may again
repeat their attempt to enter our terri
tory the law becomes practically a
dead letter. I have therefore advised
the secretary of the treasury to send
this man back to China, It fa probable
that the question whether it fa right
ander onrlaw can be decided by aa
application for a writ of habeas corpus
in behalf of this man."
