2 THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1895-TWELVE PAGES, Btates with the Indians of the five civil- Ized tribes are being examined in view of the reports that the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight will take place in the Indian territory. The lands of the Choctaws and Chickasaws are near Dallas, and the treaty with them provides for the government of these ua- tions by ‘a cduhcil or assembly of the In- diers, which shall legislate on all affairs pertaining to the ihternal management of the nations, and “the administration of jvetice between the members of the = eral tribes of said territory. and persons qther than said Indians and.members of Said tribes and nations.” The United States agrees to exclude from the Indian lards such whites as are not authorized by the laws of both nations to remain thee, ane it further provides that “they (the In. dians, shall algo be protected against in- terruptions cr intrusion from all unau- » theorized citizens of the United States wno may attempt to settle upon their lands or reside in their territory.” Under these pro- visions it is held that the government can keep out the prize fighters unless the In- dians agree to their entrance. Whether the federal government cannot, even if the In- dians consent, prevent the fight, is not qvite sv clear, and some persons who have examined the law claim that the fight can be brought about without a violation uf the law by the Florida Athletic Club leasing a part of the Indian lands. Other legal provisions, however, may per- haps enable the government to meet this state of things, and, in discussing the fight the other day, Secretary Smith made the significant point that it might result in call- ing such marked attention to the state of _ affairs In the Indian territory as to force some action looking to ag adjustment of the anomalous condition in Indian territory, @ thing the Indians are violently opposed to, preferring to remain as they are. Charles N. Boudinot of the Choctaw na- tion was at the Interior Department today and consulted Secretary Smith. It had noth- ing to do with the proposed fight in the In- dian country. Mr. Boudinot said that he knew of nothing in the laws of the natibns of the territory to prevent the fight. He added, however, that if the United States took the matter in hand the fight could be prevented. He said that in some things the tribes were recognized as independent sovereignties, but the United States was making surveys and holding courts and otherwise interfering with the tribes. If they were recognized as free states they ought to be allowed to con- duct their own internal affairs, but if the United States could interfere in one case there was no reason why it could not inter- fere in arother. Prospects in Mexico. Senor Romero, the Mexican minister, was seen this morning and asked about the prospects of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight taking place across the Texas border on Mexican soil. Dispatches from Laredo, Texas, this morning said that the Florida Atbletic Club had secured the consent of the New Laredo authorities, across the Rio Grande, and now were negotiating with the governor of Tamaulipas, the state in whch New Laredo is situated. “Personally,” said Minister Romero, “I have no knowledge of the matter. But the states of the Mexican republic, like those of the United States, are sovereign within limitations. They have their legislatures and mike their own local laws. I do not krow whether Tamaulipas has a law against prize fighting, but I am inclined to ink it has not.” ‘Do you think President Diaz would in- terfere on behalf of the cental govern- ment?” “I do not know.” replied the minister. “President Diaz was quoted, I think. some time ago as being opposed to allowing the fight to come off in Mexico, but I under- stcod his opposition to relate to the federal territory about the City of Mexico, over which the central government has com- plete jurisdiction, just as Congress has over the District of Columbia. Of course, President Diaz could advise the governor of Tamaulipas to prevent the fight, and the latter probably would act upon his recommendation, but-President Diaz has no authority over the local affairs of that or ary other state. inister Romero would express no opin- lem as to whether the fight could be “pulled off” on Mexican territory. > — IN DEEP WATER. A Convention Congratulates Gov. Cal- berson of Texas. TOPEKA, Kan., Oetober 3.—The Deep Water convention concluded its business last night. Senator Vest of Missourl was elected presiding officer. Ex-Goy. Hubbard of Texas spoke during the day. His speech was full of statistics, presented in a graphic and interesting man- ner, covering the deep water agitation and its results and prospects. The burden of talk was for cheaper rail rates to the gulf, and, by the aid of deep- water harbors,-a closer relation with South American commerce. The following greeting was presented by Delegate O. D. King of Kansas City, Kan., and addressed to Gov. Culberson of Texas: “These are great days for Texas. We have assembled to promote your commer- clal greatness, you to promote moral greatness; may both objects abundantly succeed.” L.

NO WORD OF DELOE. Searching Parties Looking for Him Near Dubois, Pa. ‘The father of young Will Deloe, formerly of Washington, received a letter today written last evening by Mr. Redfern of the Daily Express, Dubois, Pa., narrating the circumstances of the young man’s disap- pearance. No reason can’ be assigned but gberration of mind. Deloe had been sick for a few days with indigestion, but no serious consequences were apprehended. His employers looked after him quite close- ly while sick, and one of them went to the hotel tq take Deloe home with him, when it was found he had disappeared. Telephone and telegraph messages have been sent in all directions without getting any clue. The focal papers are publishing all par- ticulars possible, hoping to get trace of him. Last night search parties were or- ganized to scour the region about Dubois. Profound regret is expressed on all sides at the young man’s mishap, as he was much liked. ——__ WATSON BEATEN FOR CONGRESS. Major Black Elected in the Tenth Georgia Dirtrict. ATLANTA, Ga., October 3.—Maj. J. C. C. Black, democrat, defeats Thomas E. Wat- son, populist, for Congress in the tenth district by a majority of 1,641. The election yesterday was one of the quietest ever held in Georgia, a striking contrast to the one held just eleven months ago. At that time three prominent men were killed in the streets of Augusta, and petty rows occurred throughout. the several ccunties. Watson claimed that the elec- tion was unfair, and Black, in deference to Watson's views, resigned. 5 The special election yesterday was honest in every sense. New registration laws were respected in most counties and the majority for Black shows that the district is demo- cratic in a clean ballot. c ‘Watson lost in most of the counties from his vote of "94. He lost over 100 votes in McDuffie, his own’ county. —— = SOLD STATE RECORDS. Something of a Breese Raised at Richmond, Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., October 3.—Deep inter- est is manifested here in the sale of twen- ty tons of state records to a -junk dealer. Librarian Scott said today that the books had been gone over before they were sold and those of value taken out, and that the right was reserved to go over them ¢gain. Ex-Librarian Poindexter, who is more familiar with the state I!brary than any other man, however, says that neither the committee or present librarian know valve of these documents, that they are Yasable and cannot be duplicated. M Poindexter speaks of getting out an in- junction to prevent their removal. Gov. O'Ferrall says the committee is re- sponsible and that he knows nothing of the sale. The committee's authority to sell these books without special act of the legis- lature is denied by well known lawyers. —_.__. CLEANING HER BOILERS. Preparing the St. Paul for Her Trial Trip.

BUSTAMENTE WAS SHOT SAN FRANCISCO, October 3.—The steam- er Cella has arrived from Salvadorean ports. Capt. Johnson reports that the little repub- lic, the cor.trol of which is so ardently de- sired by Antonio Ezeta, is in a state of fever- ish unrest. Rumors have been thick at all the ports at which the Celia stopped concerning the coming of Ezeta to capture Salvador. A warm reception awaits him. “They are up in arms there,” said Capt. Jchnson. “At Acajutla, La Libertad and La Union the beach is full of soldiers, and et the new ports there were thirty guards, all waiting for Ezeta. They told me that the friends of Ezeta were suffering for his acts. No less than half a dozen very wealthy men were on the chain gang, but what charges were made against them I could not find out. “Guiterrez, president of the republic, had an interview with the president of Hon- duras and Nicaragua while I was in Sal- vador. The president and his generals, about twenty-five in number, came back overland to El Triumpho, and I carried them to La Libertad. What the conference was about I do not know.” ‘ According to the captain, Bustamente, Ezeta’s ald, was shot and there was no boiling oil poured on him. It is said that Ezeta has many friends in Salvador, but that they are afraid to open their mouths lest they be imprisoned. These men have firm faith in their leader’s return. They think he can get the assistance of Diaz of Mexico, and with this backing Barrios of Guatemala will not dare oppose him, so that he will be able to march through Bar- ag country and get into northern Salva- jor. —_———_—_ TO BE BUILT AT SEATTLE.

It Has Improved the Condition of the Great American Foot. “ A study of feet is interesting at a change of season like the present, when pretty nearly everybody, big and little, is sport- ing a new pair of shoes. The coming crowds kick out shapely toes that retain all the artistic perfection of the manufac- turers’ lasts, and there are ‘no’ run-down heels when you look at the throng guiag the other way. Most of the new shoes, too, have pointed toes, and the count ecusirs who come to town shrug their shoulders and pity, the way city folks suf- from their cerns. The fact is, how- that the American. foot has greatly aproved in shzpeliness, and is less garni- tured with excrescences since the sharp toe style of shoe came into vogue. A Star reporter fourd this out today dur- ing a conversation with Mr. William Hahn cf the firm of Wm. Hahn & Company, whose establishments are located at 930 and 952 7th street northwest, 1914 and 1916 Penny vania avenue northwe: and 233 Pennsylvania avenue southeast. “My thirty years’ experience has taught me that the sharp toe shoe fs more conducive to com- torxt.and less.productive of corns and bun- ions than any other kind,” said Mr. Hahn. “The secret of wearing them is to get them long enough to accommodate the foot. The great trouble with people is that they almost invariably come into a shoe store aud ask for a certain size instead of ask- ing to be fitted. If they would adopt the Jailer and only‘sensible course, they would have no trouble whatever with their feet. They would get shoes shaped to their feet and would not only get more comfort, but more durability, for a shoe shaped to the foot will outlast two pairs of ill-fitting ones. “A much better class of shoe is being made now than formerly, and this holds good for children’s as well as adults’ shoes,” he continued. ‘The leather is tan- red better and they are made smoother in- side. In schcol shees a favorite style is the shoe with the sole-leather tip, which looks neat and well and which cannot be kicked out. Children’s shces are now made with pointed toes as well as those for big foiks, because the youngsters want to be as much like their papas and mammas as possible. What is the average size of shoes worn by women now? Well, 1 reckon No. s would answer that. Twenty-live years © no woman would wear aw size larger no matter how big her feet were. She'd squeeze them into small shoes and suffer jike a Spartan in order to wear them. sense is responsible for the ee FESTIVAL. Celest ing Moon Cake Today and Tonight.

Thieves of all kinds bold, and the police ye as much as they can do now to prot the citizens from the operations of those who prefer stealing to doing a little manual labor. Among the cases reported this morning was one of highway robbe! in which the vietim, Al- bert Hary of 300 M street, was roughiy handled about 10 o'clock Monday night.

TAKEN UP BY A CLOSE VOTE The House of Deputies on the "Title of the Church. CANADIANS RECEIVED ————— MINNEAPOLAS, Minn., ‘October 3.—The temper of the house of deputies of the Episcopal convention toward the proposi- tion to change the name of the church was incidentally shown by its action this morn- ing on the invitation of the house of bishops to meet with deputies at noon to receive the visiting Canadian bishops. The resolution of invitation contained the words “The American church.” A Virginia delegate moved to amend by the substitution of the words ‘Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States,” which is the legal title. This amendment was voted down by 82 yeas to 222 nays. The morning prayers were conducted by Bishop Kendrick of New Mexico and Rev. Dr. Pewers of Pennsylvania, after which the house settled down to business. Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, the president, read a long list of standing committees. The diocese of California presented a pe- tition for the division of the diocese. Simi- lar memorials were preseated from Mary- land, Kentucky and northern Michigan. A resolution to extend fraternal greetings to the northern Minnesota conference, now in session in this city, was at first tabled, but afterwards taken’ from the table end passed. The report of the committee on constitu- tional revision was then taken up, Dean E. A. Hoffman of New York taking the floor in its defense. After some debate, in which ex-Senator "Edmunds of Vermont was a participant, the report was referred to the committee of the whole by the close vote of 135 to 130. James Packard was calied to the chair- manship committee of the whole, and Dean Hoffman began the reading of the declara- tion preceding the constitation. Trouble was mot immediately in the sec- ond paragraph, which had been changed by the committee to read that “The bish- oys, clergy and laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America, in general convention assembled, make the following declaration criginal paragraph read that ‘the church in the dioceses within the United States represented by the bishops, clergy and laity,” ete. Rev. Dr, Stone of Chicago opposed the whole declaration, and move‘l to table it. This the chair ruled out of order in com- mittee of the whole. Nor would he enter- tain an appeal from the decision. Thereupon Dr. Burgoyne of Pittsburg moved that the committee rise and report so that the rules might be put in proper shape. This motion prevailed, and the horse was in the midst of a discussion on rules when. the hour set for the reception of the Canadian bishops arrived. The American bishops first filed up the troad aisle, while the house arose. Presi- dent Dix invited Bishop Coxe to the chair, and then, with due formality, the visiting bishops, headed by Most Rev. R. Machray, D.D., L. S. D. O., D. C. L., archbishop of Rupert’s Lard and metropolitan and pri- mate of Canada, were escorted to the chancel by a committee. Special Dispateh to The Evening Star. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., October 3.—The petition for the division of the diocese of Maryland will be presented to the com- mittees on new dioceses in each house as soon as they are appointed, who will report In its favor within a week, and it will doubtless pass at once. Mr. Wm. Keyser, vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio, arrived yesterday, bringing in his private car Bishops Paret and Randolph, Rev. Dr. Eccleston, Josenh Packard and Skipwith Willner of Baiti- more, who. with Rev. Drs. McKim and Bl- liott and W. Pinckney Mason of Baltimore, comprise the Maryland delegation, and Rev. Dr. Hodges. Nothing is known here of the proposed endowment of a church university in Washington, except that prominent wealthy churchmen have expressed great sympathy with the movement. Bishop Paret has not decided whether he will take Washington as his diocese. ore HOOPER MOST LIKEL Speculating as to the Baltimore Re- publican Nomination. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., Gctober 3.—The situa- tion ameng the republicans in regard to their selection of a candidate for mayor is most uncertain, and the republican con- vention, which meets tonight, is liable to prove a turbulent gathering. ©he repub- lichn leaders, who oppose the nomination of Mr. Malster, and among them are Chair- man George N. Wellington of the state committee, Chairman Stone of the city committee, Mr. James A. Gary and other republicans of prominence, declare that they have enough delegates pledged to prevent Mr. Malster’S nomination, and that gentleman's followers, while asserting that they intend to make a spirited contest in his behalf, admit that there is little likeli- hood of his heading ihe city ticket. Yo whom the nomination will go was the subject of general speculation among re- publicans today, and the prevailing im- pression is that Mr. Aleaeus Hooper, pres- ident of the first branch of the city coun- cil, will be the choice of the convention. Col. Hanway has announced that he will not accept the nomination unless ne re- ceives the unanimous indorsement of the delegates, The leaders are very much at sea, but the general belif is that Mr. Hooper or some dark horse will be nomi- nated.

Attorney General Harmon has received a letter from Malone, Franklin county, New York, stating that a party living near the boundary between that county and the Canadian line, had taken up an iron post which marks the boundary line between the United States and Canada and moved it eight or ten feet into United States terri- tory, thus, as he thought, changing the line to run through a building owned by him. His purpose is said to have been to evade the United States customs and liquor laws. The letter has been referred to the United States attorney for that district for investigation and report. —_____+-e.__ Perfect Racing Weather.

SUGAR AND ASSEMBLING OF CONGRESS The Street Beginning to Discuss Their Relations. —_—_ + — GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Disaatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 3.—Speculation this morning was confined principally to the specialties of the industrial list, Sugar, Chicago Gas and Tennessee Coal and Iron. London was dull and sent few commis- sions to this side, the local room element being credited with the bulk of the day’s business. From the character of the day's traneactions it ts evident that the market will be influenced for the present by the action of the several issues, in which an organized effort is being made to advance Prices. The properties in question are by no means lacking in merit, satisfactory profits and encouraging prospects fully jus- tifyirg the ambitions of their friends. ‘The condition of the iron trace, which is just now enjoying a periodic return of prosperity, with every indication of con- Unued activity for several months to come, and the large proportions of the general business attracted by Tennessee Coal and Iron, are factors behind the movement in that stock which seem destined to insure substantial profits to patient shareholders. The advance in Sugar is also based on actual trade conditions, all grades being again advanced 1-16 of a cent a pound this morning. With a business assuring a con- tinuation of the present liberal dividend rate and handsome annual additions to the surplus fund, there remains orly one doubt- ful element in the speculative position of the stocks, namely, the probable nature of the powerful inside manipulation. At the moment, a careful estimate of probabilities in this connection would seemingly justify the belief, now shared by the street, that Higher prices will not be opposed by the management. The period of doubt incident to the re- assembling of Congress will in all likeli- hcod afford the only basis for pessimistic reasoning on the market course of Sugar, but such a period is still too far into the future to seriously handicap the present movement. Chicago Gas sold up sharply during the morning on the announcement of the very strong personnel of the new reorganization committee. The details of the new plan will be perfected during the afternoon, and may be announced tomorrow. It is gen- erally understood that ithe committee will be assisted by practically the unanimous co-operation of the stockholders, and a suc- cessful settlement of all differences and annoyances is regarded as being assured. The marked preference for the industrial shares was an obstacle to improvement in the conservative railway issues, the com- monplace trading therein being void of sig- nificant feature. Certain influential inter- ests in the street were disposed -to regard the market's strength az the temporary result of professional buying, and cOnse- quently took advantage of the rise t@ re- duce the profits of the tape into actual pos- session. This action naturally retarded any improvement in values, but developed no signs of weakness, all offerings being takem without material reduction in price. Reports of earnings submitted during the Gay were generally up to expectations; but little new buying was stimulated thereby. —— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
