THE INDIAN BUREAU. Senator Voorhees’ Arraignment of the Way in Which It ts Managed. By a vote of 98 to 25 the Senate afternoon, in considering the Indian appro- pristion bill, refused to strike out the House Proviso, which reads: Pi “Provided. That from and after the passage of this act the President shall detail officers of the United States army to act as Indian agents at all agencies where vacancies from any cause may hereafter occur, who while acting as such ‘agents, shall be under the orders and direction Of the Secretary of the Interior. “Provided, further. That whonever the Pros- ident shall be of opinion that the good of the service specially requires it, he may appoint a civilian.” In the debate yesterday afternoon Senator Voorhees made the princi b. He quoted ex-Agent Gallagher of Pine Ridge, who, in a letter to the commissioner of Indian affairs, dated April 12, 1890, compiai beef ration hed been reduced exe nal, ror. ea complaint the Commissioners re- plied: “It is better to issue half rations all the time in to give them three-fourths or full rations — two months and none for the balance of year.’ 4 COLD-HEARTED SUGGESTION. “None for the balance of the year; exclaimed the Senator. The cold-hearted, cynical sug- gestion there isin that sentence! It needs no comment from me. He says it is better to issue If rations. I tell yon what wouid be better than thut. It would be.better to be honest and issue the rations as called fur by law. This government is not a pauper. Wherever this government has made & promise lot it be kept. n officer from whom such a sintence as I e cited could emanate ought uot to remain where he is. It is a suggestion Without heart, without humanity, withont hon- esty, and without justice. There is nothing in his reply recognizing the miserable condition of affairs, and saying it should be redressed. He makes no reply saying he is astonished at the scarcity of food for the Indian, and that it should be looked into. No, had better half starve the India: tirely and starve them to death ‘The commissioner further states in the same that the Interior Department is able to h such articles as shoes, shawls, blankets, gingham, &c., as an equivalent, in liew of subsistence, or in lieu of parts of the ration, as fixed by the troaty referred to, “If youare hungry,” he says to the Indian, “you shall have a pair of shoes, If you aro sturving we will give you some ginghams. If You luveno ment or bread we will. give you shawls and blankets in lieu of subsistence,”are the wi here pet down by this commissioner. Issue them biankets and shawls “‘in lien of sub- | sixtence!” Who can stand by such a system as this? 1 know not, Mr. President, whether mili- tary agents will be perfection, but I do know that I would cut loose from @ system like this on the first possible opportun: MILITARY MEN DO NOT STRAL Iwill say further in connection with the mil- itary men that the rule is they are honest. The rule is they do not steal. Take the record of the American army. It isa proud one. I re- true us» general rd of Indian agents, The men t $1,200 a year and get rich nd uever to be trusted, nor is the head of the bureau who recommends shawls, shoes and blankets, in lieu of subsistence. Instead of saying “We will for- ward meat and bread to these perishing wards of the nation” to stifle their hunger and piacate their rage, they desperation wherein they were more willing to die in battle than by starvation. ‘hat does “subsistence” mean, Mr. Presi- dent? It has a vital meaning. I have heard of armies perishing for want? of a day's sub- sistence. Gen. George Rogers Clarke, whom John Randoiph styled Hannibal of the ‘west, was perishing with bi my at Kaskaskia, when a citizen of Vince: e to his relief and rescued bis army a supply of “sub- sistence.” ‘The men had eaten their last ration of parched corn, and if aman had come for- ward and said, “I will give you shoes and blankets and ginghams in lieu of subsistence,” they would have torn him limb for limb, and cought to have done so. POLICY OF THE INDIAN BUREAU. Yet that is the policy that emanates from the Indian bureau as at present administered. The act of Congress fixing the rations says: ‘And for every 100 rations four pounds of coffee, eight pounds of sugar” The Commissioner per haps might say “an undershirt’—“and three pounds of beans or in heu of said articles the equivalent thereo! e equivalent thereof is something to eat—‘‘in the discretion of the Commissioner of Indian affuirs such rations or s0 much thereof as may be necessary, shall be continued.” tm xi 4, Now us polite army officer, Gen. Brooke: Ia fe thought that when the Conn. missioner interprets the words (when the ration only is spoken of) or in lien of guid articles the equivalent thereof, to mean shoes, shawis, blankets, &c., that the Commissioner is in error, and that the resultant reduction is in violation of the act of Congress. Now, let us listen @ little bit to American Horse: “I was speaker for the whole tribe. In ageneral council Isigned the bill (the late Sioux bill) and 580 signed with me; the other members of my band drew out, and ever since these two parties have been divided. ‘Ihe nonprogressive started the ghost dance to draw from us. We were made many promises, but have never heard of them since.” That is the unbroken wail of the Indian from the time the pilgrim fathers fell upon their knees at Plymouth Rock and then immediately fell upon the aborigines. ([Laughter.] I do not wish the reporter to credit that as original. ‘The Great Father says if we do what he di- rects it will be to our benefit. but instead of this they are every year cutting down our ra- tions and we do not get enough to keep us from suffering.” “After we signed the bill they took our land and cut doyn our allowances of food. In other words, commented Mr. Voorhees, they took their pay, which was our land, and then lied to us and cheated us out of the con- sideration. After asserting that no people on earth paid as much for whut they had to eat as the Indians Mr. Voorhees said: “The man who would suggest that in lien of subsistence, that powerful word “‘subsistence,” he might ‘have gewgawsand trinkets ought not to be longer gret to say that this is_no thin: who of the rec | Stidbam, who sang twonumbers.

Only the other day, the 25th of January, nearly the Ist of the month, the winter was more than one- half over at this time. Upon the 25th of Janu- ary, 1892, winter clothing and supplies were insted to tho Cheyenne ard Arapahoe Indians at the agenev in the Indian territory. There were about thirty-two day nearly sixty day Owing to the er, the Indians had suffered much from extrem: cold and were much dissatisfied. Strange, is it not. that they should be dissatisfied when by giving up their homes they had purchased a supply of clothing for the cold, shivering winter weather which came nearly as spring came! There is no excuse for this kind of administration.” There is fault in every step, tine and minute of it, for which somebody ought to be held to a stern, rigid account, Why winter clothing is not issued in October or November, instead of thelatter part of January, after the coldest part of the winter is past, is not understood, unless winter sup- plies can be bought cheuper after the holidays than before. Thatis the reason, Similar com- plaints have been made at several of the other agencies and ws the cause of much dissutisfac- BAD BACON AT ROSEBUD.

A favorable report was ordered on the bill to vacate that part of Madison street, George- town, west of Back street, and extend Y street in Burleith. ‘The bill was amended to conform to the Senate bill which provides that the Com- missioners be authorized and directed to aban- don and vacate that part of stree Georgetown, from the west line of Back street westwardly to the west line of Beattie and Hawkins’ addition to Georgetown, and to open und dedicato ¥ street at its present width east- wardly from the west line of said addition to Back ‘street: Provided, however, That the ground in the street eo abandoned and vacated shall accrue and belong to the abutting prop: erty: And provided also, That the ground needed to extend Y street, ns aforesaid, shall be donated to the District for that purpose. THE OLEN ECHO RAILWAY. ‘The long-promised and frequently delayed congressional excursion over the proposed route of the Glen Echo Railway Company came off Wednesday afternoon. At 3 o'clock Senators Harris and McMillan and Col. Elliott, all in one of Senator Me- Milian's vehicles, started for Cabin John bridge.

Tylor, J. P. Clark, Edwin Baltz- ley and’ Tracy L. Jeffords. It was 8 o'clock before the party returned to the city. While nono of the members of the commit- tees have given official expression to their views as to the route it oan be stated that the company must find some other way of jetting out of Georgetown than over the River road to Foundry branch. The highway is regarded as too uarrow in its presont condition, but there would, it is said, be no room for vehicles (except cars) should two tracks be laid. As soon as it be- comes evident that the company can get out of the city without obstructing an important thoroughfare thore will be, its said, a favor- able report on the bill. = Base Ball Notes. ‘The first half of yesterday's game between the Nationals and the Georgetown Univorsity nine was a fairly interesting one, the collegians fielding cleverly and batting with spirit.

F. W. Skinner. The New York Herald yesterday printed a sensational article purporting to give the his- tory of a quarrel between the families of John 8. Wise and Col. F. W. Skinner of Virginia. The story is that Mra. Wise spoke disparag- ingly of Miss Belle Green, granddaughter of Col. Skinner, when requested to invite Miss Green to a series of dances given by Mrs. ‘Wise's set, Miss Green informed Col. Skinner, who called on John & Wise in New York, and not reciving « satisfactory explanation he wrote Mrs. Wise suggesting that she set Miss Green right and apologize. This seems to lace the matter in such alight that if Mrs. ise does not apologize the affair must be settled between Jobn 8. Wise and Col. Skinner. Col. Skinner is weventy-eight years old ands ntleman of culture and distinction. yo man he was an attache of the United States legation in Paris, in the time of Louis Phillippe. He has rince traveled the world ovey, fought duels and held a pro- fessorship at Lexington Towers Since reaching old age his chief joys the love of his granddaughter, Miss Green. Irrigation by Artesian Wells. The superintendent of census has sent to press bulletin on artesian wells for irrga- tion, prepared by Mr. F. H. Newell, special agent in charge of statistics of irrigation. The total number of artesian wells on farms in Tune, 1890, in the states dnd trrritories form- ing the western half of the United States num- bered 8,097, representing an-estimated aggre- gate investment of $1,988,461. Of that num- ber 3,990 are employed in irrigatior. The average depth per well i 210.41 feet, the aror- age cost per well is $245.58, the total discharge of water per minute is 440,719 gallons, or 54.43 gallons per well, per minute, the average area irrigated per well is 13.02 acres, and the aver- age cost of water per acre irrigated is $18.82.
