Representative Mercer is reported as hav- ing called at the War department and re- quested the removal of the company of In- dian soldiers stationed at Fort Omaha, claiming that they are a nuisance to the public and that theiwr proximity to the city is domoralizing to themselves. The gentle redskin, in his capacity as defender of the flag, has been a bone of contention for some time and his whito brothers in tiue main don't ask for anything but his elimination from the army organization, claiming that he is as useless there as he is elsewhere, and that, after all, the epigrammatic statement of.the late General Crook that the only good Indian is a dead one is correct. Concerning Mr. Mercer's action, Colonel Stanton said yesterday : “Ithinkitis allright. 'he Indians are a nuisance, and experience has demonstrated the impracticability of trying to make solciers of them. As infan- try thoy are a failure, although thoy ncquit thenselves with more or less credit in the cavalry, where they are more at home. The only pract way of using them in the army is scouting, wherein, of course, from the fa- cilivy born of grenerations of training, they aro at their best. Those who know the In- dian best cannot be convinced that ho is §00d for anytning practic “I cannot, from personal experience, say anything about the result of the experiment of enlisting Indians as regular soldiers," said Colonel Beuh: “but thero seems to be a general sentiment in favor of their dis- bandment, which, from present indications, seems a thing of the near future. As to the reasons for Mr. Mercer's action, it is prob- ably due to complaint on the part of resi- dents of that portion of the city near the fort, and comes from the shooting of the In- dian, High Eagle, not long ago.” Lieutenant Quay, who formerly had com- mand of a troop of Indian cavalry at Fort Sill, L T, says that he has found the reds make excellent cavalrymen and good soldiers, and that they take more pride, as a rule, in keeping themselves and their equipments in condition than do white soldies *Colonel Sumner,” said the licutenant, “tells me that the troop of Indian cavalry at Fort Meade is the best troop of cavalry he ever saw. But, of course, there 15 no doubt that they ure more of a suc scouts or independent ng else.” — HARRY STel1N’S RETURN, What the Accused Man Says About His Peeullar Conduct. Detective Dempsey returned last night from Kansas City with Harry Stein, who is accused of having swindled Miss Ella S, Bartells out of wearing apparel, jewelry and money to the extent of 400, When asked what his real nae was, he said that it was Willam Stegner. He gave his occupation as that of a railroad man. Speaking of his recent conduct in Omaha ho claimed that it was a preconcorted arrangement, in which Miss Bartells ac- quiesced, in order to “throw dust into the cyes of other people and furnish the woman with an opportunity to establish herself at Kansas City.” He intimated also that other people were in the plot. His first acquaintance with his accuser dated back to 189 at West Point, Neb.

PRIVATE BILLS OF LOCAL INTEREST Appropristions Will Be Asked tor Several Publie Stractures in Nebraska—Who Wil e Made Major 1s Ex- eiting Much Interest. 518 Founterstn WASHINGTO! Senators Kyle and Pettigrew and Mr. Duff Hanie of South Dakota will call upon Secretary Hoke Smith tomorrow morning and urge immediate action to enforce the law of the last congress providing for the establishment of Indian schools at Chamber- lain and Pierre. The law made the appro- priation, but left its execution within the discretion of the secretary of the interior. There has been nothing whatever done to- ward the establishment of the schools under this administration, and it is gener- ally understood that Secretary Smith looks with disfavor upon the project. Senator Pottigrew is greatly in earnest in his do- mand that work be begun upon the building at an carly date, and he belisves that is pos- sible wo secure favorable action. Some Private Bills of Local Interest. Senator Pettigrew introduced bills today to pay W. L. Hall of South Dakota §113 ex- pended by him in traveling as collector of interal revenue and to pension George Camanche, who served in the Indian war. Senator Allison has introauced a bill ap- propriating $100,000 for the purchase of site and the erection of a federal buuding at Clinton, Ia.; also a bill to sottle the claims of states against the United States for arms, ete., furnished during the late war, and to relieve Hugh McLain of the Kirst Iowa cavalry. House Lills have been prepared for the erection of public buildings at the following places: South Omaha, $250,000; Lincoln, $1,000,000; Plattsmouth, £100,000; to increase 1o $2,000,000 the limit of cost of the building at Omaha; to locate a soldiers’ home at Be- atrice and establish a branch mint at Omaha. Wasnixaton Boreav or Trae Bee, } Who Wil Be Major? There is a big fight on hund among the junior officers of the army to secure the va- cancy on the list of majors in the adjutant gencral's devariment, caused by the retire- ment of Colonol McKeever and the resultant promotions. It is said that the contest has narrowed down to Captain Georgo S. Wil son, Twelfth infantry: Captain William P. Hall, Fifth cavalry, and Captain C. bank, Tenth infantry. Wiildeat Money Not Wanted. Reprosentative Joenson of Indiana, who 18 a membér © committee on banking and currency i Bik correspondent today that. after hoaring all the members of the committee express themselves upon tho questions which are now before thom, he did 1ot believe either the bill to repeal thle stato bank tax nor the measure providing for an incontrovertiblo currency bond issue could bo reported favorably from the com- mitteo. Ho said it seomed to bo the conclusion of the committeo that the scheme of Mr. Johnson of Ohio to issue 21 per cont bonds upon which the gov- ernment shall lend money was impractica- ble. Tho proposition to foderalize state banks and allow them to issue currency upon any character of security, and oxtend over them federal supervision would be an infringement upon states’ rights; if state banks were given circulating notes by tho federal government and any sort of super- vision they would no longer be state banks; if the government simply provided for circu: lating notes to bo priutod by itself and issued to state banks, that alone would be an infringement upon the charters issued to the banks by the states. No federal super- vision could be given amy bank operating under a state charter. Will Have to Go to Gold Bonds. In the opinion of Mr. Johnson, the com- mittes on banking and currency will refuse to adopu anything like the proposed plan of faderalizing state banks. “He doubted ifa bill to simply repeal the tax upon state bank circulation could be favorably reported from the committee, although he had no doubt that the proposition would come before tho house this session in one way or another. It begins to look as though all of the cur- rency and bond plans of the administration advanced so far would fall flat and congress would have to come back to the original proposition of a straight bon¥ 1ssue for the purpose of roplonishing the gold resorve and increasing th circulating medium. Inquiry among members of the senate commitiee on finance reveals much the same condition of sentiment respecting the proposed re- habilitation of state banks as exists in the house committee on banking and curency. All schemes to extend federal supervision over state banks are met with the rights of states to control their own corporations, and the plain proposition to_ simply repoal tho tax on state bank circulation is mot with the argument that the old state bank circu- lation was flat, unreliable, confusing, and that iv ultimately resulted in loss %o its holder: Will Abolish the Different Today Ropresentative Mercer called upon the Interstate Commerce commission and directed attention to ihe Omaha bridge dif- ferential, which, he said, continued and op- erated in favor of Council Bluffs and against Omaha. Commissioner Veasoy was surprised to learn that the differential rates were con- tinuing. He said he had been led to believe that the matter had -been adjusted. Mr. Veasey said he would direct the attention of the Rock Island company to the matter, and if 1t did not adjust it the commission would cite the company to appear and answer the charges of maiutaining differential rates, Doctors at the Congress.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5—When the ways and means committeo resumed its tarift hearings this morning there were presont Chairman Wilson and Representatives Dal- zell, Burrows, Payne, McMillin, Bynum, Stevens and Breckinridge. Mr. R. W. Lesli of Philadelphia appeared on behalf of the cement manufacturers ot the United States to argue in favor of tho retention of the present auty of 8 conts per 100 pounds on Portland and all other classes of hydraulic cements. The duty under the law of 1853 was 30 per cent ad valorem, but on account of undervaluation a change was made in the McKinley act of 1800 to a specific duty of 8 conts per 100 pounds. Mr. Leslie went into alengthy preliminary explanation of the character of Portland and ordinary coments. Tht former is an_artifi- cial product of chalk and clay and is im- ported to the extent of 3,000,000 barrels per annum. 1t is used in pavements, aqueducts, dams, etc., while the ordinary cement is used in common building. In order to demon- strate the ability of the United States to produce cement in sufffelont abundance to supply the market, Mr. Teslio sketched the extent of the coment belt, which extonds from Texas ~through ‘the southwest, up through the middle states to Winnipeg. There is another belt which extends from Chattanooga northward through Indiana and Ohio to New York. The coment industry ex- tenas over twenty states and results in an aggregate production of over 5,000,000 barrels. Benetited the Government. Mr. Leslio showed the necessity for the change from ad valorgm to the specific duty by pointing out the system of undervalua- tion taken advantage of by the foreign im- porter during the oxistenco of the ad valo- rem duty under vho old law. Mr. Leslie claimed that the change in the class of duty had resulted in an increase of revenue to the goverument of $400,000 or 200 per cent, and at the same time the price of the cement to the consumer had been reduced 25 per cent. This, he s1id, was the fairest test of the beneficent results of this law. He declared, moreover, that the constant reduction of the price demoustrated the fact that no trusts existed in the cement industry. In speaking of the necessity for a pro- tective duty for this article, he produced some tables showing that 87 per cent of the cost of cement was for labor, and by a system of comparison of the wages paid ~in this country and abroad he came to the con- clusion that prices here have ruled 50 per cont higher than abroad. The foreign country paying the next highest wages was England, and this led Mr. McMillin to in- quire why it was that free trade England paid more for wages in this industry than protected Germany. Mr. Leslie said he was unable to answer that question, [Laughter.] Difiiculties of Getting Started. Mr. Leslie spoke of the difficulties of establishing a new industry like the domes- tic manufacture of Portland coment against the well established reputation of the for- eign article. In reply w questions be said that capital to the amount of $12,000,000 was invested in cement (ordinary) and that about $5,000,000 had been invested in Port- land cement, much of it in experimenting. In conclusion he made an appeal for the ro- tention of the duty on the ground that it had operated to the benefit of the consumer by reducing the price and to the advantage of the government by increasing the reve- nues. ‘Uhe committée then took a recess. Joseph Newman of California appeared at the afternoon session to argue in favor of the imposition of a duty on raw silk. Mr, Newman stated that he was the father of silk culture in the United States. He came here in 1865 and sottled in California. He is a German, who has been before tne ways and means committee every timo tariff legis- Jation has been proposed in the last ten years, arguing in behalf of this duty. He speaks brokonly, and itjwas with daifculty the members of the committee could under- stund what he said. The burden of his re- marks indicated that he believed the United States capable of producing the silk worm sufficiently to supply all the raw silk needed in this country. Ho said that the southern belt, extending from the Carolinas through to the Pacific coast, could grow the silk worm. Mr. Newman was about 1o begin the description of the developuent of the silk worm whea Mr. Payne interrupted him to ask how much time suche description would require. ) Wanted Threo Days. “Threo days,” replled Mr. [Laughter. ] Mr. Dalzell declared, with a twinkle in his eye, that he thought three days reasonable. Mr. Newman then wobat Lo a side table to select some documents, and while his back was turned Messrs. Payoe, Dalzell and Bur- rows hurriedly grabbed their hats and fled. One by one the uthéf members, Mr. Hop- kins, Mr. Bynum, Mr,! Gear, Mr. Androws and Mr. Turner, filed owy of the door until in a few minutes Mr. Nowman was orating o Chairman Wilson, Clerlé ®albott, the official stenographer aud a few' amused auditors, Finally, by a system’of categorical aues- tions, Chairman Wilson' succeeded in ascer- taining that Mr. Newnian waoted cocoons on the free list, 15 per eént duty on raw silk and 80 per cent'on manufactured silk., Then, Newman, Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U.
