Sometribes have been persuaded to send their children to school that heretofore resisted all efforts to induce them to do so. One question may now be considered settled beyond controversy and that is the Indian most be taught to work for his own sup- port and to speak the English langnage, or give way to a people who do. AMONG THE THINGS DED to secure success and efliciency in solving the Indian problem are: B First—An appropriation to survey out boundaries of Indian reservations so both Indians and whites may know where they have rights and where they have note. Second—A law for punishment of per- sons who furnish arms or ammunition to Indians. No such law now exists. Third—More liberal appropriations for Indian police, Fourth—An appropriation sufficient to defray the expense of detecting and pro- secuting persons who furnish intoxicat- ing liquor to Indians. No ardent spirits should be introduced in the Indian coun- try under a pretense whatever, nor their sule permitted within twenty miles of an Indian reservation. The practice of ap- proving contracts to collect from the Government money due Indians is one that ought not to exist. Itis the duty of the Government to see that the wards of the nation receive WHAT IS JUSTLY DUE THEM for cost and equally the duty of the Goy- ernment to see that no unjust debts are paid. Congress should confer both civil and crimiaal jurisdiction on the several States and territories over all Indian res- ervations within their respective limits and make the person and property of the Indian amenable to the laws of the State or territory in which he may reside, ex- cept in cases where such property is ex- pressly exempted by treaty or action of Congress and give him the rights in the courts cnjoyed by other persons. Allotments in severalty to the number of 146 have been made to Indians during the year with the best results. The Com- missioner will adhere to the policy of alloting lands where the same can be legally done, and the condition of the In- dians is such as to warrant it. The at- tention of Congress is again invited to the nec:ssity of legislation to enable the Indians to make entries under the home- stead law without cost to them. Itis necessary Jhat lands within certainreser- vations be subdivided, and it is import- ant in some cases that this be done at once; yet there is not a dollar available for this special purpose. An amend- ment to the law in reference to intruders 50 as to punish by imprisonment as well as fine is absolutely necessary. The commissioner gives a detailed account of PAYNE'S OPERATION! and asks that the special attention of Congress be called to these aggressive movements on Indian Territory lands as illustrating the urgent necessity for speedy and effective legislation in regard to trespassers. The recommendations for legislation for protection of timber on Indian lands are renewed. During the year there was paid to the Indians in cash as annuity apd otherwise $745,000; less than §200,000 of this amount was for the payment ot annuities proper, many of which will expire inthe near future by limitation in various treaties. The increase in the accommodations for Indian pupils which the school appropri- tions lust year made possible, has been followed by a corresponding increase in the attendance of the pupils. Exclusive of five civilized tribes the number en- rolled at boarding schools during the vear just closed is B,143, an increaso of 0654 over last year. The attendance on day schools has been 5,143, an increase of 748 over the precceding year. Of 5,143 boarding school pupils 4,396 at- tended schools on the reservations or in their immediate vicinity, Boarding and day schools the reservations have made A CREDITAULE RECORD, Eight new boarding schools have been opened, making the whole number now in operation, exclusive of training schools, 77. An interesting event in the year has been the educational inroad in the Ute tribe, The wild southern Utes allowed 27 youths to be taken to the Albuquerque boarding school, although not one of the tribe had ever before attended any school of any description. The organization of the system of day schools is meet- ing with favor among experienced agents who have large agencies and desire to placo all their Indians as speedily as possible under some sort of educational wfluenco. The grod results attendant upon the maintenance of training schools at Carlisle, Hampwn and Forest Grove are very manifest and Congress is urged to increase the appropriations for these schools. THE BEST HOPE FOR THE INDIANS lies in bringing him into the closest pos- sible relations with the various religious societies whose sole business consists in working for the elevation of humanity, and who from long experience are pre- sumably the best informed as to the methods and men and means to be em- ployed in such work. [ e e— Spreckle’'s Monopoly, 8ax Franoisco, October 26,—Hans Spreckles, proprietor of the California Sugar Refinery rompany, who holds a monopoly of the Hawaiian sugar trade, has contracted for the entire crop of su- gar of the islands, on condition that all shipments be made in his vessels. This is equivalent to a monopoly of the carry- ing trade both ways as other vessels go- ing there will rot get a return cargo. | —— The Holladays in Court, Portraxp, Ore., October 26,—Ben Holladay, of railroad fame, has com- menced a suit against his brother Jam to recover possession of §2,000,000 worth of property held in trust by James for Ben, When Ben got into difliculties some years ago he borrowed some 8160 - 000 from his brother, giving him a deed of all his Oregon property, stipulatin when the amount was paid the duo& should be cancelled. The value of the property deeded was, those days, about $400,000. It has since increased in value 8o that to-day it is worth &2,000,- 000. James refuses to deed is back un less paid an immenso sum for managing the property while in his possession. ——— ORIMIN i/ RBOCORD, FRIGHTFUL MURDER AND ROBRERY.

Becoming cold he set fire to the store, which, with its contents and the railroad station at- tached, was entirely consumed. Loss on stock and building, $2,000; insured for 81,600. The fellow escaped from the building, but was captured and brought to this city for examination before the grand jury. He seems to be looney.

The agent of the Central Pacific has announced a cut to 43 cents per 100 pounds from San Francisco to Salt Lake. There is an agreement between the Union Pacificand Central Pacific to carry freight from the Mlssouri river to San Francisco for 85 cents per 100 pounds. The only freight excepted from the cut is powder and green fruit. A train on the Denver & Rio Grande ran into a horse south of the city, yes- terday, ditching the engine and badly wounding the engineer. Wadham & Nieman's excursion party from Boston was on the train, but none were injured. David, son of Apostle Rich, was sen- tenced to the penitentiary for robbin Zion's Savings bank.

THE OHIO RIVEE POOL, Cnicaco, October 26,—The executive committee of the managers of the Ohio River Pool lines met to-day and heard the reports agreed on yesterday by the meetings of freight and passenger agents. The report of the freight agents on terri- tory within which business should be pooled was ratiied In order to avoid competition with the Baltimore & Ohio it was decided that coal traflic from the Ohio river north be not included in the pool, but be governed by traflic agree- ment. A commitice was appointed ‘o draft traflic agreement covering the pool territory. The recommendations of the passenger agents in regard to the pool on passenger traffic was also ratified. The next meeting will be held at Indianapolis November 8th, The Episcopal Convention, PurLaverenis, Octobar 26.—The Episeopal convention earnestly recommend that a portion of the alms and contribu- tions during the administration of holy communion be appropriated to th sup port of disabled clergymen and to the widows and orphans of deceased clergy- men. Rev. Mr. Rucker, of Texas, of- fered a resolution that the house will not entertain any motion to alter or amend any portion of the prayer book not re- forred to them by the joint committee, The house resumed theconsideration of resolution twelve of the joint committee on prayer book, relating to holy com- munion. The rubric in section *C” was amended 80 as to provide for omission of the decalogue as one of the celebrations of holy communion when holy commun- ion has been celebrated more than on The section as amended was adopted. Rapid progress was made in the adoption of the report. Rev. Dr. Goodwin (Pa.) offered an amendment as follows: **The holy communion shall not be celebrated in any congregation unless there are some persons present to part.cipate with the priest.” Rev. Dr. Huntington sug- gested the following substitute, which was accepted by Dr. Goodwin: ‘‘And there ul-.li be no celebration of the Lord's supper unless there bea convenient num- ber to communicate with the priest, ac- cording to his discretion, and even though there be not above twenty per- sons in the parish of discretion to receive communion, yet there shall be no com- munion unless three, or two at least, commune With the priest.” The substi- tute was adopted, also the section as amended, Bishops of Pennsylvania and Iowa were appointed to certify changes in the canons.

Vandarbilt Scores a Social Success on | the Firs Night, The Opening of the Metropolitan =-A CGreat Crush of the Woealth and Fashion of the City. Millionaires and Others Who Were There—A Brilliant Scene, Correspondence Philadelphia Press New York, October T'he wealth, fashion and socioty of New York cloaked itself, stepped into its carriage and was | whirled homeward to-night in a calm, peaceful, but self-congratulating framo of mind, feeling that it had partici in the mest important night of 1 opera ever known in this country, pe haps in the world. While the Academy season had opened with hardly less brii linncy than ever before, the first opening of the Metropolitan opera house had proved an epoch in the history of the metropolia of which the importance was felt by all, That there had been a social contest none would have thought, for it was an hour after midnight when the last car- riage rolled away with its precious faoight from the Metropolitan, and society then was satisfied that it had asserted itself and its wealth; that it had nover before crowded so much of itself into an American opera house, APPEARANCE OF THE HOUSE. The new house presented an appear- ance last evening strange and unfamiliar to Americans, It looked like a house ostentatiously built by the rich for the rich. There are no stage boxes, and it is only a few feet from the drop curtain to the auditorium. The parquet seats near- ly 600 people, in wide, comfortable, roomy seats, for which 86 aro charged. Near the stago are three boxes on each side, looking almost_like square pigeon- holes. Above this is a tier called the parterre, composed exclusively of boxes, each with chairs for six persons, with a cloak room in the rear. Over that is an- other tier of boxes precisely similar, and every one in these tworows was taken by the stockholders. To give you a list of their owners for the season is to select the great names of Wall street and Fifth avenue, of New- vort and Murray Hill. In the parterre of Jay Gould, closo to the stage, looks over at Ogdoen Goelet, and George Pea- body Wetmore can sit nioxt to either, ac- cording as he may use his box ou the right or that on the left. Cyrus W. Field sits next to Charles J. Osborn, and they face the bear of Wall street, C. F'. Woer- ishotfer, who can touch the elbow of Mrs. W. W. Astor, unless she chose to occupy her box at the other house. There may be one or two non-million- aires in the thirty-six boxes, but nearer the center are W. K. Vanderbilt, Robert Goelet, John Jacob Astor, W. K. Rocka- feller and Charles Crocker, who will help to bring up the average. Lost there should be some mistake, I will count W. H. Vanderbilt, who loomed up from the first box to the left of the center, occa- sionally moving over to the second on the right, which he has lately tendered to some of his sons-in-law. Over them is anether tier, in which were found a few of the millionaires of Wall Street, including R. T. Wilson, D. O. Mills, 8. D. Babcock, W. E. Conner, Adrian Ise- lin, C. K. Garrison and J. Pierpont Mor- gan. FIFTY-DOLLAR DBOXES. Nor is thisall. The rich plebians have an opportunity in the second tier, which is really the third tier of boxes, just like those below, which are to be held at $50 cach. If yeu are wise enough to choose the balcony you must climb to the fifth tier, wher you will sce the panorama of fashion and hear'as well as they and have quite as comfortable a seat. There is a family circle above, the sixth tier, which will seat 930 persons. Of the 3500 peo- ple which this vast house—the largest in the world—will accommodate, 600 will be on the lower floor and 760 in the bal- cony, leaving three of the six tiers to less than a third of the audience. Remembering the pretty picture made by a half dozen Philadelphia ladies the Prince of Wales box, you can imag- ine the effect of last cvening, if you will suppose such a row extended all” around the front of the balcony and two more like it above, for the partitions between the boxes are so low as not to break the line. The great majority in the line, which is broken only once or twice by a black cont, are in full dress—court dress, with short sleeves and low neck, and most of them fortitfed with big bouquets, some all white roses with green leaves, others all red—a grand bouquet of female beauty behind the roses. The frame of this picture is somewhat disappointing. The appearance of the interior is severely rectangular; the pro- scentum opening is square, and the- arch and drop above the opening of a dismal green, lookingas if & gigantic shroud had been looped up to grace an important funeral. The architect aimed at an ivor: tint. Instead of that the provailing col- or in the bright gaslight is not rich enough for cream, not bright enough for straw, nor dazzling enough for whiter. It looks more like a thin, faded terra cotta, against which the light toilets of the ladies lose their deli- cacy, and their colors seem to run to- she used that instead of the property ket. Scalchi received a greeting quite as hearty, and never was Siebel more warmly recallod or 8o overburdened with flowers. Campanini sang with all his old time empressment, but it seemed with less spirit, This, however, may be due to the acoustic properties of the house, and in this T am afraid we shall have to ¢ nfess a disappointment, This is the only ab solutely firoproof opera houso in the world, Tt is of brick, stone and iron, and wood is seldom found, but wood is as friendly to sound as to tire, and stone a8 inindcal to both. Here were forty fivo strings in this splendid orchos tra, directed and controlled by Viannesi's *master hand, but their effect was strangely weak, and the delicate tones mournfully mufiled, dead and unresonant. In the orchestra they sounded dull;inthe upper tiers they scemed to lock penetration. Noilsson's {most beautiful notes, Campaninis’ finost ton: ed strangely wanting in bril liane There was no echo, neither was the the ringing clearness which com- pels the enthusiasm of the audien If this be lackingall this perfection of atage management, magnificence of cos- tuming, wealth of scenery and richness of accessories will be in vain, R.

W aroN, D. C., Oct. 19.—[Spec- ial. |—The importance of the pension lists to the claim agents may be seen trom the roport of the Commissioner of Pensions, which states that there 962,601 living sol- diers and eailors who have not_applied for pensions, and 72,340 pensionablo rela- tives. The claim agents under the law areentitled to $10 foe frum every pension- er whose claim is secured, 80 1f the sol- diers and sailors should apply it will be that avery large sum would goto the claim agents. The report of the Commissioner for the fiscial year ended June 30, 1833; shows there were 303,658 pensioners on the roll at the end of the fiiscal year, During the year the names of 70 whose pensions had been dropped previously were restor- ed to the roll, making 38,958 pensivners added during the year, an excess of 10, 645 over the preceeding year. The ave- rage value of each pension is $106, and the aggregate annual value of all pensions $32,245,182, an _increase of $2,904,000, The amount paid for pensions was $60,- 064,009, exceeding the annual value by several millions ot dollars. The bulk ot this excess was on account of arrears of pensions, covering the period prior to the allowance of claims, T'he uppropriation for salaries and fees to pension-agents was exhausted, and there is a ballance due agents. The whole number of claims filed since 1861 was 880,137, of which 51,038 were allowed. During the same time $621,073,207 was paid tor pensions and costs of disbursment. The percontage allowed of army claims filed has decreasce from 76.7 per cent in 1865 to 9.4 per cent in 1880. The re- port next dwells upon the difficulties ex- perienced in disciplining the large addi- tional clerical force allowed by Congress to settle the arrears of pension cases. So Targe an addition to the force of the office cousumed the time and attention of the more experienced examiners and _clerks, yet sowell was the work of instructing the new clerks pushed forward that thoy wore soon eflicient, Not only were all claims involving arrcars examined and proper calls mado for evidence, but it was done so rapidly that liko examination and preper calls for testimony of onecharacter or another were made in upwards of 100,- 000 claims filed since the Arrears act. An examination showed that 204,209 cases wero delayed by claimants, 9,035 by the Adjutant-General's office, 2,902 by the Surgeon-General’s office, and 23,624 by the Pension Oflice, but a large propor- tionof the cases delayed in the Pension gethor as if originally of the truewsthetic weakness and uncertainty. The tiers have the curve of the mule shoe rather than the horse shoe, being without the graceful curve at either end, and they seem to be on the samo plane. For this reason the seats on the sides in the two upper tiers give no view of the stage and people there will always have to stand up to see. Symmetrical and harmoni- ous, though severe, the coloring and the decoration does not set off a crowded house, CHARACTER OF THH PERFORMANCE, 1 may seem to have made the perform- ance of secondary importance, but it de- serves better notice. Mr. Abbey was wise in preventing a division of the at- tention, and avoiding the competition of new artists against a new house.
