War Between Japan
and Russia.
THE HAWAIIH DEBTS PAID
By the United States—The Philip-
pine and Cuban Qusstion Dis-
cussed—Osage Indians
Richest Race in
the World.
(From oar regular correspondent.)
If Japan goes to war with Rus-
sia, as now seems probable, because
of Russia's grab of the province of
Manchuria, what will be the effect,
if any, upon American commercial
interests in China? That is the
very important question that now
confronts this government and
people. This government has dip-
lomatically informed Russia and
the other powers of its disapproval
of the land-grab, although Russia
has declared that its occupation of
Manchuria will only be temporary
—a declaration which everybody
regards as meaningless and which
it is the usual thing for land-grab-
bing nations to make. That is why
Europe finds it difficult to believe in
the intention of this government to
get out of Cuba. Under the same
conditions no European country
would do sd. Representative
McCleary of Minn., who made a
close study of the tangle in China,
thinks that nothing short of a dip-
lomatic miracle can prevent a war
between Japan and Russia, because
of the enmity which has existed
since Russia blocked Japanese in-
tentions at the close of the war be-
tween Japan and China and because
both countries are better prepared
for war than they have been for
years. He thinks that the United
States and the European powers
would remain neutral in the event
of war, provided that both Japan
and Russia gave acceptable guaran-
tees of the preservation of their
rights.

Gen. Funston's capture of Agui-
naldo was both brave and daring,
but the problem of what to do with
him is not an easy one to solve.
Thé Treasury Department will
send two expert officials to Hono-
lulu in a few days with the cash to
pay the bonded indebtedness of
Hawaii, amounting to $3,200,000.
This payment was authorized by
the act of annexation, but the money
was not appropriated by Congress
until the last session. Holders of
Hawaiian bonds in the islands will
be given tlirty days notice and the
English bondholders, who have
about $800,000, will be given three
months notice of the contemplated
payment, and at the expiration of
these notices the bonds will cease
to dra^fr interest.

In the opinion of the Attorney
General, all persons guilty of ad-
vising or aiding in the perpetra-
tion of census frauds can be made
defendants in criminal action.
This opinion was given in answer to
inquiries of the Census Bureau as to
whether others besides enumerators
could be arrested if shown to have
participated in the census frauds in
Maryland, and a number of arrests
are expected. United States Dis-
trict Attorney Rose of Baltimore is
now representing the Census Bu-
reau in the investigation. He will
decide who will be arrested and will
conduct all the prosecutions.

Ex-Representative Walker of
Mass., who was prominent as chair-
man of the House Committee on
Banking and Currency, was in
Washington this week, and who had
been supposed to share the views of
Senator Hoar on the Philippines,
was asked to define his position on
that question. He replied:
"I have sympathy with Senator
Hoar's views, but I don't believe in
attacking the administration till we
get across the stream. And when
we get across the stream I expect
we shall be amazed at the success
we have accomplished. We shall
be amazed when we realize the dif-
ficulties that were in our way, and
be glad, in spite of the unfortunate
cirsumstances in which we have
been placed, in spite of the losses
we have sustained and the immense
cost of our operations in the is-
lands, that it was not worse. Even
yet our hindsight regarding the
Philippines is hardly better than
our foresight when we first ac-
quired them. It is not always easy
to justly comprehend the policy of
an administration on such important
questions."

Capt. A. C. Tonner, Assistant
Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
while speaking of recent renting of
600,000 acres of pasture lands in
Oklahoma, belonging to the Osage
Indians, who are the richest race in
the world, gave the following facts
concerning the wealth of the tribe:
"This new lease will add about
$120,000 a year to the tribe's in-
come. In addition they have $8,000,-
000 received from the sale of their
lands in Kansas, in the United
States Treasury, frnm which they
derive an anual income of $400,000.
Besides they own 1,570,175 acres
of land which is fairly worth $5 an
acre. There are 1,972 Indians in
the tribe, counting men, women and
children. They all share alike in
the tribal wealth, and when a child
is born it becomes a joint property
owner with all the other Indians in
the tribe. The profits from the
$8,000,000 held in the Treasury, the
recent rental of pasture lands, and
other sources of revenue give the
Osages an anual income of ap-
proximately $600,000, a per capita
income of $304.25. Where a fam-
ily consists of man and wife and
eight children, as often happens, the
family receives each year in cash
$3,040 and on their lands they
raise all their food stuffs and con-
siderable grains for the market.
The reality holdings of the tribe
have a per capita valuation of
$3,987. There is no other race of
people in the world that make such
a showing."
