SET APART FOR GARFIELD'S STATUE, The Chair laid before the Senate a commun!- cation from the Secretary of War, reminding theSenate apropos of Mr. Morrill’s resolution of yesterday that the circular space at the in- tersection of Maryland avenue and ist. ahen§ at the western end of the Capitol grounds, hi already been by law set apart tora statue of ex-President Garfield, and that a contract had been made with J.

THE SIOUX INDIAN RESERVATION IN DAKOTA. Proceeding to the calendar, the Senate re- sumed consideration of the bill to divide the Sioux Indian reservation in Dakota, In the course of the debate Mr. Teller sald he had recently met a lady who bad bullt and or- ganized free schools among the Indian tribes— One of which cost $16,000, and she kept up the schools by private contributions furnished by Philanthropic people. Mr. Teller thought it A BURNING SHAME that individual citizens should be required to contribute to Indian education while the gov- ernment had itself undertaken that task. If the Secre! of the Interior were empowered to take Indian boys and girls and put them into manual labor schools whether their Parents were willing or not, those children Would have constituted hostages, and would have prevented further Indian wars. Fifty Apache children placed in such schoois would save the nation millions of dollars, Mr, Logan said that if his (Mr. Logan’s) pro- Position of ten years ago in the Senate had been agreed to there would have been no Indian Wars after that time. His proposition then was that it be made a penal offense for anybody to sell a gun, or powder or bullet to an Indian. ‘That Wwas'what was the trouble in our Indian rs, THE DAKOTA BILL, At two o'clock Mr, Vest took the floor on the Dakota bill.

AUTHORS, PUBLISHERS AND PEINTERS BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE—VIEWS OF EX-MIN- ISTER LOWELL AND OTHERS. ‘The Senate committee on patents resumed, st 10 o'clock this morning, the hearing on the subject of an international copyright law. The committee room was crowded with au- thors, publishers, printers and others interested in the question. Mr. Gardiner G.

Mr, Lowell said goctvie moron onbiee ee Be et a tae all works of foreign authors copyrighted in this country to be printed heres He said the unanimous sentiment of the union, and so far as he had been able to ascertain of all persons concerned in printing, favored such # provision as a measure of proper protection to the print- GF, binders, stereotypers and others who live by the art of printing. A PUBLISHER'S VIEWS, Mr. 8. Dana Estes, of the publishing house of Estes & Lauriat, Boston, said he preferred any international copyright law to none at all. He declared that the present condition of affairs suppresses authorship in America, He said that he does not even give consideration to manuscripts of unknown American authors; that unless the author has un established repu- tation no profit can be derived from his publi- cations, cheap books of the day, he said, prevent the printing of books in durable form. ir. Estes contended that an interna- Uonal copyright would be a boon to the printers and artisans of the trade because it would result in increasing the work here. He maintained that the mechanical work in the publishing line of American workmen is su- perior to that done anywhere else in the world, and thafthis very superiority and facilities for doing the work cheaply would bring to this country the manutaclufo of publications. of other countries under a system of international reciprocity. He was willing to have @ provi- sion requiring the manufacture of foreign ublications ‘copyrighted here, to be done the United ‘States, but believed that such work would come here anyhow, because it could be better done. By Way of Illustration he said his firm prints the “Chatterbox” by arrangement with the Epg- lish owner, and sells it at less price than they fould under a former arrangement, where they imported the printed books. He’ believed in- ternational copyright would cheapen the cost Of books. He was sure it would encourage Suthorship and raise the literature of this coun- to the high plane it ought to occupy. ir. Bowker, editor of the Publishers" Weekly, of New York,’ was heard in favor of interna- tional copyright. The committee then ad- Journed, The District in Congress.

SENATOR SHERMAN'’S SILVER BILL. ‘The bill introduced in the Senate yesterday by Mr. Sherman to suspend the present silver coinage and Issue certificates upon bullion, is regarded by members of Congress as a compro- mise, but it is not one that will suit the extreme silvermen. They insist upon the preservation of the “dollar ot the daddies,” and nothing else. In the Senate the bill is regarded as. significant, coming, as it does, from Senator Sherman, and itis thought that itrenders an eventual com- promise on the question more than probable. ‘The bill enacts that the colnage of the silver dollar provided for by the first section of the act to which this is an amendment be discontinued from and after the passage of this act; that the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to purchase from time totime silver builion in bars, not less than nine-tenths fine, at the market price thereof, not less than 2,000,000 ounces Troy per month; nor more than 4,000,000 ounces Troy per month, and shall issue in payment therefor coin certificates of the United States in denom- inations of not less than $10 each, corres; d~ ing with the denominations of the United States notes; and the bullion so purchased shall be retained in the Treasury for the security and for the payment of the same; and the amount of such cer- tiflcates ‘at any time outstanding shall not exceed the cost of the bullion pur- chased by such certificates, and the certificates thus issued shall be receivable for cust taxes and all public dues, and when 80 recel! may be reissued; and the, Secretary of the ‘Treasury shall redeem in coin the said certif- cates on thelr presentation for redemption at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of the United states, in the city of New York, in sums not less than $50, That any holder of stand- ard silver dollars or gold coin of the United States, or gold bullion, at its mint valye, may deposit the same with the Treasurer, of any assistant treasurer, of the United States in sams not less than $10 and receive coin certificates therefor similar in denomination and legal effect to the certificates provided for in the pre- ceding section. ‘The, coin deposited tor or rej resent tho certititsves ‘still be retailed ta the Treasury for the payment of the same on demand.
