The name and address of the gencral’e correspondent are purposely con: by the military authorities here. “Dear Sir: Some friendly Indians roturni from a hunt were attacked by the so-cali settlers: one or two were killed, their wagons and goods were stolen and they would all have been murdered if they had notfonght back and by that means stood’ off the cowardly mob. ‘The parties who did the shooting are the Cul- bertoon boys; one is about one ‘the state penitent excuse for firing on the Indians was that they were trying to steal horses.

Mr. Dodge also called at- tention to several other cases of a like nature. He said. in conclusion, that it must be borne in mind that, while millions were spent in the northwest by the board of public works for wooden pavenients (about 4,500,000, as stated by Capt. Green, and some two mil- lions to em with asphalt, the northeast received almost nothing. He then presented a table prepared by the engineer department in 1888, showing the area of unimproved streets different sections. It was as follows: Georgetown, cent; northwest juarter, 29.96 per cent; southwest quarter, .97 per cent; southeast, 79.78 per cent; north- east, cent.

We demand that the Congress of the United States submit an amendment to the Constita- tion providing for the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people of each state: also the President and Vice Presi- dent by a popular vote.

It is understood that the republican plan, so far as outlined at present, is to allow unre stricted debate on the cloture resolution from on until next Tuesday or Wednesday at farthest, when, at the firat favorable oppor- tunity, Mr. Aldrich will move to close the de- and take a vote. If interrapted bye point of order or vther objection from the democrats the Vice President will then be ex- pected to overruie it.

ALDRICH WANTS A VOTE. + At2 o'clock Senator Cockrell, who was still continuing his argument against tue cloture resolution, yielded the floor temporarily at the request of Mr. Aldrich, who asked unanimous consent for a vote on the resolution tormorrow afternoon. Objection was promptly made, not only on Go demerntn die thes by Mir. Teller, who referred in caustic terms to the summary and arbitrary methods parsued by the cloture lewd- ers. Mr. Gorman also criticised the request se- verely. The discussion was conducted in inod- erate language throughout, but an under cur- rent of very bitter feeling was distinctly mani- | fest. —_—_—_-2- Range of the Thermometer. ‘The following were the readings at the signal office today: § a.m., 37; 2 p.m., 49; maximum, 90; minimum, 85.
