' It la the urgent desire of the secretary to avoid the rush which lia.« always characterized the opening of new country tn the southwest up to this time.

During the first week In March he appointed as members of his cabinet seven men who have learned that It la best to subjugate their will to that of tba dictator.

She now Is the wife of Riley Brock and has two children. Tliey live in Plnkard in a house given to them by General Clay. General Clay loves the woman and gives to her everything he can send away from White Hall. He thinks people want to kill him and grasps his weapons to give battle at the approach of either friend or stranger. Mrs. Clay said last night: The note is construed to mean that BuBsla will not make another attempt to force China to sign the Manchurlan treaty and that she will submit Its terms to the powers for their consideration and accept their decision- Further than that, Russia promises to furnish the most satisfactory pledges, If the powers consent to the convention, that as soon as law find order have been established In Manchuria her troops will be withdrawn from that territory.Beporta that the Kataer'a health la fall, lug and that he la breaking down mentally aura to lncreaee the feai# which ate enjtortalned regarding hlm'apd hla aottona.

As a preliminary to the drawing scheme It Is proposed that the entire area of the reservations which has not been taken up by the allotments to the Indians shall be mapped and platted. The area will then be laid out In homesteads, and each one will be numbered. Every person who desires to secure a homestead In the new country will then file an application for it, together with proof that he is quafified to make the entry. These will be investigated by the government officials to determine Whether each one is bona fide. Accompanying the applications will lie the fee for the entry. These will be held simply as deposits until the drawings are made, and those who are unsuccessful in the drawing will have the fees returned to them. A date will be set according to the plau proposed, after which no further applications will ■be received. Each of_ the application will be placed in a plain envelope. All of the envelopes with luclosures will be placed in a great wheel or other similar device, and on the day set there will be drawings from the wheel by a blindfolded employee. As the envelopes are taken from the wheel each one wlll"TDe numbered until a number has been reached equal to the number of homesteads on the map already -prepared.
