Washington, July 29. The passing of the red man and his slow but steady absorption into the body of American citizenship, was made evident by the recent order of the Indian office, dissolving the Cherokee nation a.s a tribal entity on July 1 last and rlacing the members of the largest of the five civilized tribes on the Fame fooling as white residents of Oklahoma. The Cherokees have figured in some of the notable stages of American history. Ethnologically they are said to be a branch of the Iroquois family, although never allied politically with Uie Ironuois nation. Originally they occupied the Appornatox basin of Virginia, but were gradually driven south Into Georgia and the Carolinas, with branches in Kentucky and Tennessee.

Here they developed the powerful confederacy which made treaties with the United States, and resisted the efforts of the states to dispossess them. This raised one of the first Issues over the itates being bound by federal treaties. When the United States supreme court unstained the Cherokee treaties, Andrew Jackson, then president, made his famous remark: "Well, John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce It." Th Cherokees made rapid progress In education and civilization, abandoning the chase for agriculture, and finally developing an alphabet and language of their own. This was the production of one of their mixed-blood members. Sequoya, or George Guss, who invented a syllabary of 78 Tigris forming the basis of the Cherokee language, since known as Se-quoya.

QUALITY CORNER DOUGLAS AT MARKET Austrian Emperor Explains Why Ordered Conflict and Calls Small Kingdom TJnappreciative. Vienna, July Vi. A manifesto issued by the emperor after stating that It had been his fervent wish to dedicate his declining years to preserving the empire from the burdens and sacrifices of war says: "Providence has decreed otherwise. The intrigues of a malevolent opponent compel me in defense of the honor of my monarchy and for the protection of its dignity and the security of its possession to grasp the fiword after long years of peace." The manifesto refers to the Ingratitude of Servia for the support the emperor's ancestors afforded Servian independence; how Servia for years has pursued a path of open hostility to Austria-Hungary; how Austrian annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which injured no Servian rights, called forth in Servia outbreaks the bitterest hatred.

"My government," continues the emperor, "then employed the handsome privileges of the stronger, and with extreme consideration and leniency only requested Servia to reduce her army to a peace footing and promise to tread the paths of peace and friendship." Servia Went Back Word. Then recalling that it was Austrian forebearance two years ago that enabled Servia to reap the fruits of the struggle against Turkey, the emperor says: "The hope that Servia would keep its word has not been fulfilled; the flame of its hatred for myself and my house has blazed always higher. The design to tear from us by force inseparable portions of Austria-Hun gary has manifested with ever lessening disguise." The manifesto- then dwells on the "criminal propaganda which has ex tended over the frontier, aiming at the destruction of the foundations of or der and loyalty in the southeastern part of the monarchy and the leading atsray of growing youth and inciting it to deeds of madness and high trea son." Calls Demands "Moderate." It continues: "A series of murderous attacks in an organized and well carried out con spiracy whose fruitful success wounded me and my loyal people to the heart forms the most visible and bloody track of those secret machinations which were operated direct in Servia." Declaring a stop must be put to these Intolerable provocations, the honor and dignity of the monarchy protected and its political, military and economic developments guarded from continuous shocks, he says: "In vain did my government make a last attempt to induce Servia to desist. Servia rejected the just and moderate demands of my government and re fused to conform to the obligations forming the natural foundations of peace in the life of peoples and states. I must therefore proceed by force of arms to secure those, indispensable pledges which alone can insure tranquility to new.

The Boston, Cape Cod and New York canal, connecting Buzzards Bay with Cape rod and ennblintr coastwise vessels to avoid the dangerous passage around! wreck-strewn Cape Cod, was formally opened today by August Belmont of New York, president of the constructing and operating company. The canal shortens by oeventy miles the shipping distance between the ports to the north and the south of it.

Although the canal has actually been open from one end to the other since early his month, no vessels other than those belonging to the owners of the canal have been allowed to pass through it. The canal will be open to traffic tomorrow and will be completed In all its details about the first of October. The Cape Cod canal is thirteen miles long, Including a cut through sand and boulders from Buzzards Bay to Sandwich, Mass. It has a bottom 100 feet in width, shelving out to 300 and 400 feet at the Dassiner nolnts. and has a draught of twenty-five feet at low tide.

Greater in its dimensions than the Suez canal, as originally constructed, it can accommodate the largest coastwise, vessels afloat, with one or two exceptions. At the eastern end is a massive breakwater 3,000 feet long which con tains more than 330,000 tons of granite. This is designed to protect vessels us ing the canal from the storms that Bweep across Cape Cod Bay. The $12,000,000 which has been ex pended in the constructing of the canal has been spent largely in excavating some 7,000,000 cubic feet of sand and boulders. In order to keep the wash from passing vessels from wearing and small boulders.

This rip-rapping, large portion of which was done by hand, runs from six feet below to four feet above the high water mark. At the eastern end much money has teen spent In the building of a "sand-catcher," a device calculated to keep moving sand from choking up the mouth. The canal is in reality a river, making all of Cape Cod an island, for there considerable difference between the tides In Cape Cod Bay and Buzzards Bay, causing a sluggish current. The canal is destined to play an Important part In the future commerce along the Atlantic coast of North America. At the present time more than 25,000,000 tons of freight are transported over the Cape Cod route annually, including, coal, 12,000,000 tons; stone, 300,000 tons; Nova Scotia plaster.

350,000 tons; Rockland-Rock- port ljme 110 000 tons; cement, 50,000 tons; oil, 210 tons; ice 300,000 tons; lumber, 2,000,000 tons and sand, 60.000 tons. Other commodities carried in barges and freighters amount to 000 tons, while regular steamship lines of the higher class carry as cargo tons of freight around the cape every year. An absence of fog along the course of the canal will make It particularly desirable to both freight and passenger carrying vessels. Because of the heavy fogs that prevail off the cape at all times of the year many freighters and barges are forced to lay to un til the weather is more favorable for a passage. It is estimated that 500.000 persons a year are carried around Cape Cod.

Tolls for vessels passing through the canal will average in the neighborhood of seven cents per cargo ton per passage and for vessels without cargo, over 500 tons gross register, the rate will be about five cents per ton. Motor-boats, yachts and other vessels not engaged In commercial trade may pass through the canal for as small a toll as $3. The tolls depend upon gross tonnage and length overall.

I am accused by the professional politicians, with their devious tricks of the trade, of being undignified in presenting my story direct to you the plain people of Kansas on the stump and through the newspapers. The self-seeking fellows who would make capital of your influence, who are noted for their large professions and little deeds and who are afraid to face the voters of Kansas with a real issue, affect to be horror stricken at my open methods. But I do not fear the people of Kansas; you have been kind to me in the past and I am willing to abide by your judgment.

Adrlen Ilebrard, editor of the Temps, and one of the leading Journalists In France, died to the "Russian serf" crime of "contempt of court."

I wast to ehurge THE PLAIN PEO- Feature house and the paper was printed in English and Cherokee. Publication was suspended after six years by the 'Jeoria authorities. At the height of the Cherokee's prosperity gold was discovered within the territory and agitation for the removal of the Indians soon began.

After a hopeless struggle lasting for years, their great chief, John Ross, the Cherokees, on December 23, 1835, signed a treaty by which they agreed to sell their remaining territory and move out beyond the Mississippi to a country then? to he set aside for them, 4n Indian territory. Objection to the migration developed among many of the Cherokees, and General Wtnfield Scot was finally tent to forcibly remove the 17,000 Indian to their new home in the West. They suffered terrible hardships on the long J.Mirnoy by foot, and it is said nearly one-loiirui oi me numoer perished. Arriving In their new home Miev formed a national government, ivltli the capital at Tahlequah. The task of converting the Chero kees from a tribal community into a body of individual land owners began In 191)2, when they signed an agreement with the United States by which the government undertook to make complete roll of all the tribesmen and divide the land and money among them.

The Curtis act, passed by con-cre-s In 1 8 'J 8 provided for the valuation snid allotment of the lands of the five civilized tribes. In 1006 the legislative and Judicial departments of the Nation passed out of existence, but the executive branch was kept up under Frineipal Chief V. C. In when the state of Oklahoma was formed, all members of the tribe became citizens. Th task of dissolving the Cherokees.

which might, in a general way, be compared with that of winding up the affairs of an immense estate, had, ly July 1 last, progressed to such a degree that it only remained for the 1'nited States to execute a few deeds to Kinall tracts of land. All community property has been converted Into cash and each Cherokee has received his allotment. Commissioner of Indian Affairs Cato Sells, in the near future will distribute the remaining cash on hand, or about $15 per capita, to the 41.789 members of the tribe. The principal chief. W.

C. Rogers, has been Invited to send in his resignation. Agreement similar to that with the Cherokees were made with the Chick-asawn, Choctaws. Creeks and Seml-tioles, and the work of winding up their affairs is now in progress. At Its completion these four tribes also will be dissolved.

The Creek and Seminole nations will be the next to cease to exist as tribal entities, possibly within a year. Thus a considerable part of the remnant of American Indians is gradually merging Into body of American citizenship. Clone Hnrr Settled. Pallas. July 29.
