Incidental Discussion of the In- dian Question. THE PENSION BILL IN THE OTHER HALL THE SENATE. Mr. Sherman, from the committee on finance, reported a substitute for the bill against “trusts” in restraint of production and it was Placed on the calendar, Among the pension bills reported was one giving a pension of $50 @month to Mrs. Stevens, daughter of Vol. Baker, who was killed at the battle of Ball's Bluff. THE URGENT DRVICIESOY BILL. {Immediately after the morning business the consideration of the urgent deficiency bill was resumed. On motion of Mr. Paddock an item of $2,000 was inserted in aid of the Indcstriul Home association of Utah territory. An amendment was offered by Mr. Hale au- thorizing the use of $5,000 for the relief of the Turfle Mountain band of Indians at Devil’s Lake agency. ‘MR. TELLER SAYS THEY ARE BRITISH INDIANS. Mr. Teller made the amendment the text of some remarks in order to corre:t (he said) statements made by some pulpit orators and by some newspaper orators and by some who be- longed to neither the press nor to the pulpit. Those statements were made on entire —_ misay ension. The country where the je ~=band = of Indians were had never been Ses wa land. It had been Sioux land, which had been purchased by the United States years ago. When he was Secretary of the Interior he haa investigated the case of the Turtle Mountain band of Indians, and there were then but threo hun- dred of them—mostly half-breeds, That number had now, according to the published state- ments, swelled to over 1,900, but these were not American Indians, They were Manitoba Chippewas, and if the doors of general distri- bution were thus opened to them all the Chip- was in that country would flock into the led States. The British Chippewas now on this side should be sent back to where they belonged. It was not fair, he said, to talk of eleven millions of acres of land being taken from the Indians. Every foot of land that the Sioux had owned in that region had been paid for by the government, which had also given them a splendid reservation in Minne- sota—the bite Earth reservation. He wanted to put on record his denial of the statement (whether it came from 8 pulpit or anywher» else) that those Indians had been improperly treated by the govern- ment of the Gaited States. The government had paid them for their lands and was now sup- porting them in idleness and vice, not where they ought to be supported, but where they selected to go. THE GOVERNMENT'S TREATMENT OF INDIANS DE- FENDED. The statement was in keeping with the gen- eralrun of statements made in the country with reference to Indians. The more ignorant & man the location of Indians and as. to his- tory connected with them the better he thought himeeif qualified to stand up before the American ple and denounce the La — for its treatment of Indians. Nowhere the world there been such lavish expenditure im the treatment of aborigines as in the case of the American Indian. It was not true that they had been treated unproperly. It is true that the government had said that the Indians should not occupy great extents of territory to the exclusion of civilized Beople and white men. That was inevitable; that was the nature of things; that was IN HARMONY WITH THE DIVINE PURPOSE, if divine purpose governed the thing at all. It was in harmony with the ideas that the world was made not for savages but for civilized men. If those Indians went to the White Earth reservation (as they ought to) they would be among the richest com- munities in the country—infinitely better off than the settlers in any new country. ‘Mr. Ccckrell—Where are they now? Mr, Teller—In North Dakota, in Willow county, While Ido not object to this appro- priation, I object to the statements made that these people are suffering because of misgov- ernment. It is abeolutely untrue and the man who makes it, whether from the pulpit or in the press, 1s cither ignorant of the facts or is a willful falsifier, MR. DAWES I8 GLAD, Mr. Dawes said that he was glad that the Senator from Colorado had corrected the mis- statements made in the public press as to the Turtle Mountain Indians, He referred to the White Earth reservation as con- sisting of thirty-six townships in Minnesota, and as being as fine a tract of country as there was in that beautiful state. To the extent and capacity of these thirty-six townships they ought to be appropriated to the lit- tle bands of Indiars that were scattered about the territory. He had not been able to understand fora long time which tract of 49,000 square miles of territory was set apart for the Sioux Indians until he ascertained the reason during the negotiations which had resulted in opening 11,000,000 acres of that territory to settlement. The design in setting apart those 49,000 square miles was to gather there not only the Sioux, but the Chip- ere and the Crows. But, after the ratifica- of the treaty, CONGRESS HAD CHANGED ITS POLICY and had sent the Crows somewhere else, leav- ing the Chippewas where they were, so that 49,000 square miles were left tor 28,000 Sioux Indians. He had some doubts whether it was wise to send $5,000 to the Turtle Mountain Indians, because the money would go to feeding Indians belongin; to the British provinces. If somebody woul & there and feed the 300 Indians that the United States government should take care of and send the others home, he should like to see that done, ‘MR, WASHBURN’S QUERY, Mr, Washburn asked whether Mr. Dawes thought it wise, under the circumstances, to agree tothe amendment Mr. Dawes said he should not o; it, but he thought thata good deal of the money would go where it ought not to go. ‘THE AMENDMENT AGREED TO, The amendment was agreed to, Amend- ments were also agreed to as follows: For agricultural le pesca stations in Arizona, New Mexico and Utab, $30,000, and in Bhode Island, $15,000. bape For preliminary investigations for artesian wells for irrigation purposes within the area west of the 97th meridian and east of the foot hills of the Rocky mountains, $20,000, ‘THE FIsH COMMISSION, An amendment making an additional appro- priation of $33,000 for the fish commission gave rise to a long discussion, in the course of which Mr. commissi Tus BILL PASSED.¢ All the amendments having been disposed of the bill was On motion of Mr. Allison, the vote of the Senate yesterda: ment to's bill for 8 Of toms infortslty) and the Dil. as some mitted to the committee on public and grounds, ‘THE BLAIR EDUCATION BILL buildings was taken up at 2 o'clock as the “unfinished | by business,” and Mr. Hawley addressed the Senate in opposition to it, THE HOUSE.

Mr. Conger (Iowa) presented the resolution of the Iowa general assembly in favor of a bill requiring the producers of compound lard to label their article, Referred. On motion of Mr. Morrill (Kan.) a resolution was adopted calling on the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Interior for informa- tion as to whether a saving of public expendi- tures can be made by transferring the bureau of pensions from the Interior department to the War department. A PENSION INQUIRY. On motion of Mr. Morrill (Kan.) a reso- lution was adopted calling upon the Secretary of the Interior for data relative to the pay- ment of pensions and for an estimate as to the amount of money which will be required for the payment of arrearages in case the limite- tion of the arrears act is repealed. GOVERNOR'S ISLAND FOR AN IMMIGRANT LANDING, Mr. Spinola (N.Y.) asked unanimous consent for the immediate consideration of a joint reso- lution granting authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to take possession of Fort Jay, commonly known as Fort Columbus, on Gov- ernor’s Island, and fifteen acres of land for the erection of suitable buildings for the accom- modation of immigrants. Mr. Thompson (Ohio) objected. A BILL PASSED. In the morning hour, on motion of Mr. Me- Rae (Ark.)—acting under instructions from the committee on public lands—a bill was passed authorizing affidavits and deposi- tions under the public land laws to be made before commissioners of United States circuit courts or before the clerk of a court of record in the county in which the land is situated. TO REPEAL THE TIMBER-CULTURE LAWS. Mr. Payson (Iil.), under instructions from the same committee, called up the bill to repeal the timber-culture laws, The bill further provides that any person who has made entry of any apts lands of the United States un- ler the timber-culture laws, and who has for a peried of four years in good faith com- plied with the provisions of said laws, shall be entitled to make final proof thereto and ac- quire title to the same by the payment of one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre for such tract, under such rules and regulations as shall be prescribed by the Sccretary of the Interior; that no land acquired under the provisions of this act shall in any event become hable to the satisfaction of any debt or debts contracted prior to the issuing of the patent thereof. THE PENSION APPROPRIATION BILL Pending action the morning hour expired, and the House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Burrows of Michigan in the chair) on the pension appropriation bil!. SOMEBODY BLUNDERED. The Despatch Was Run Away Out of the Channel and is Still Stuck. SECRETARY TRACY GONE TO NORFOLK ON THE FISH HAWK—WILL HE ORDER AN INVESTIGA- TION?—IT WILL PROBABLY COST A CONSIDER- ABLE SUM TO FLOAT THE GROUNDED VENSEL. The Despatch is still stack in the mud down the river and all the pulling that can be done will not budge her. The Fish Hawk, after making an ineffectual effort to pull the other vessel from the flats, took the Secretary and party on board and carried them to Norfolk last night. The return of the water that was blown out to its nautical height upon the wind swinging around to the southwest did not have any relieving effectupon the Despatch. It is said that when the tide goes out her fore foot is visible above the water. This is indicative of a pretty bad state of things, if true, for the fore foot is the extreme curve of the vessel’s keel as it turns up to form the prow. ALLEGED MISTAKE OF THE STEERSMAN. The accident occurred during a heavy blow, but in the daylight, and was the result, it is said, of a mistake on the part of the steersman insighting Mathias point light house for Smith’s point. The channel at that part of the river is very crooked. but is quite deep, and nothing short of leaving the cban- nel banks and running full bead upon the comparatively low water on either side could result in such a firm implantation of the vessel. The wind could not possibly blow enough water out of the channel to make it unnavigable. WILL THERE BE AN INVESTIGATION? Of course there is talk floating around about an investigation into the cause of the accident, but inasmuch as the Secretary is the man to decide whether or not such a course is advisable, and as he is now im Norfolk, nothing definite concerning this mat- ter can well be learned at present. It now looks as though the accident would cost the department quite a sum, although no danger is anticipated to the vessel herself. Her boats were carried away on thenight of the accident, but have since been recovered. The Triton has been engaged in carrying supplies to the Despatch. CHICAGO’S VICTORY.
