W. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, The preparation of the annual Indian ap- propriation bill has been completed and the bill will be presented to the house tomorrow There will be a provision in the bill for the appropriation of $885 to pay Barglett Richards of Chadron, Neb., for heef delivered to Pine Ridge agency in November, 1894, The amount has een disallowed because the average of the beet was not fully up to the contract. Congressman Pickler has secured an ap propriation of $3,000 additional to reimburse certain sottlers on the Crow Creek and Win- nebago reservations in South Dakota, whose claims were held for further proof. He also started the appropriation of $5,000 for artesian wells at Crow Creck and Cheyenne River agencies; also a provision authorizing the s retary of the interior to use $20,000 for the wellef of the Sisseton Indians, and also a pr vislon requiring the secretary to proce without delay to the construction of the In- dian industrial schools at Chamberlain and Rapid City. The bill contains a provision that the ap- propriation made for sectarian schools shall be diminished 20 per cent each ear, thus re- sulting in the abolishment of these schools at the end of five years for want of funds for malntenance. This provision is one for which many of the western congressmen have been working for some time. There is alto an appropriation of $20,000 for pay for additional employes at the se eral agencies in Nebraska and the Dakotas, $800 of which shall be used for an additional blacksmith at the Cheyonne River agency. GENERAL COMMISSION CONTEMPLATED The total of the bill is about $200,000 be- low the estimates. Representative Holman, chairman of the committee, explains that provisions are cheaper this year than usual, that most of the inhabitants of the country are forced to practice unusual cconomy, and that the Indians should share the same con- ditions. The prircipal legislation embodied in the bill provides that a committee of five members-elect of the Fifty-fourth congress, Who are also members of this congress and of the Indian committee, shall, before the first Monday of December, investigate all Indian expenditures by the government. The committee is to have a clerk and its ex- penses are limited to $4,000. It is eme powered to travel and embody its conclusions in the form of a bill. States or territo entitied to indemnity school lands n them from surplus land or res-rvations within their bord fter allottments have been mado to the Indians according to another provision. - Thirty thousand dollars is ap. proptiated for surveys or resurveys of reser. vations which are suitable for agricultural or grazing purposes and to complote the allottment, the provisions applying to lands alloted In severalty under the act of Februs ary 8, 1887, the surveys to be made under the supervision of the director of the geo- logical survey it the secretary of the in- terlor thinks advisable. All conflicting laws are declared to be inoperative, but there is a clause restraining the geological survey from using any moneys for Indian land sur- veys except as directed by the Indian com- missioner. Thirty thousand dollars is to be applied for {rrigating machinery for reservations, No purchases of supplics for more than $300 is to be made without three weeks' notice by advertisements, except in cases of special exigency, when the secretary may expend $3,000 in the open market, but he must Teport the same to congress and the pur chases must bo made if practicable from Indlans. Amounts appropriated for subsist- ence and not used for the purpose, may be expended for stock cattle or to assist all of the Indians who have taken allottments to bulld houses and start farming. Govern. ment property on resevations not needed, may, under the bill, be transferred to others, It the secrotary ‘thinks tribes receiving Tations and clothing are sufficlently advanced to purchase for themselves, he may dis. tribute to them per capita. Senator Manderson today introduced in the senate a bill providing for the establish- ment and maintenance of a national school of forestry, and anbther bill to appropriato $24,- 000 to aid in the better endownment and sup- port of the colleges for the benefit of agri- culture and the mechanic arts. These bills are similar to the ones introduced in the house by Mr. Hainer. All_members of the house of representa- tives havo been asked to donate a part of the Quota of sceds from the Agricultural depart- ment to be presented to the Nebraska State Relief society that they may be distributed to residents of the drouth-stricken districts in_the state.

In the discussion of the postoffice appropri- ation bill, Congressman Perkins of Sioux City called attention to the fact that the fast mall trains, which leave Chicago between 2 and 8 o'clock in the morning are delayed from 9 o'clock in the evening, primarily to accommodate the Chicago newspapers. = He pointed out that all of the eastern mail trains arrive In Chicago not later than 9 o'clock in the evening, and that the later regular west- ern passenger trains leave Chicago at 11 o'clock at night. Mr. Perkins merely in- quired, without receiving a satisfactory an- swer, why the fast mail trains are delayed four or five hours In Chicago, If any reason can be shown other than for the purpose of accommodating the Chicago newspapers. Mr. Perkins sent to the clerk's desk and had read a letter from the editor of The Omaha Bee degeriblug the discrimination shown to Chi- ©cago newspapers over the daily papers pub- lished in the Missouri valley. Mr. Pickler of South Dakota was the only representative from the Missouri valley who had seconded the efforts of Mr. Perkins in this matter, while Mr. Hopkins of Illinols and others in- terested In Chicago actively participated in the debate. Mr. Perkins and Mr. Pickler were unable to accomplish ahything beyond pointing out the fact that the Postoffice de- partment 1s systematically used for the bene- fit of newspapers in Chicago, to the detri- ment of newspapers published in the Missourl valley, IN A GENERAL WAY. Congressman Pickler of South Dakota, has introduced a bill providing that hereafter timber culture claimants shall not be re- quired, In making proof, to be personally present at the land office where such proof is to be presented, but may have their evidence taken at their places of residence and transmitted to the proper land office, The bill was referred to the committee on public lands. Mr, Pickler has secured the allowance of an additional clerk for the land office at Plerre, 8. D., the term to commence February 1, next. He has also secured the establishment of a postoffice at Hooker, Turner county, 8. D. Secretary Smith today rendered declsions in the following land ‘cases: Nebraska— George M.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—The much dis- Sussed Russian thistle i this countrs and the means of prevention are discussed In a bulletin_issued by the Agricultural depart- ment. It was prepared by Assistant Botanist L. H. Dewey, who says that the thistle widely distributed in the district east of the Rockies makes its damage Inevitable, but it may bo excluded from the Pacific coast.

The Soclety for the Prevention of Adulteration in Saxony in the past year has shown by analysis that no less than 18,9 per cent of the substances examined contained objectionable adulteration. The only American product was dried frults, which were prohibited on the ground of traces of zinc absorbed from the drying tables, O1l of citron contalned of that oil ofly a few per cent, the balance being other ingredients and alcohol., Butter, particularly from Austria, contained cocoanut oil, tallow, cotton seed oll, ete. xtile fabrics were dyed with polsonous colors and wool stuffs showed cotton mixtures up to 25 per cent, The spices with which meats were prepared contained tannin; sausages living pai ites, uit juices were colored with chemicals, A sample of coffee was impregnated with a filthy ingredient. Rye flour was adulterated with rice flour, buckwheat flour with starch, Bran was a composition of wheat bran rye bran, sand, dust, mites and mite eggs. Olive ofl was found to be nothing but rape seed ol perfumed with rosemary ofl. So well was the adulteration made that even ex- perien merchants could not detect it What was sold as Rhenish liebfran milch ved to be as sour as vinegar, The sweet y wine was adulterated with large ads ditions of sugar, NATIONAL DAIRY UNION, Second Annual Sersion Convened In Wash- ington Yesterduy. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Tha National Dairy union began its second annual meet- ing here today. The declared objects of the union are to secure national and state legislation to prevent the manufacture and sale of food products made fn imitation of puro butter and cheese, and also to pre- vent the sale of adulterated dairy products and also to assist in the effective and thor- ough enforcement of laws on these subjects, laws and such future laws as may be en- acted having for their object the ends sought by the union. One of the most impo Will come before this session is that r lating to what is known as “filled cheese, said to be produced by substituting cotton- seed oil, lard neutral, or cheap butter for high grade butter. On the question of taxing filled cheese and compelling dealers to stamp it, the union is said to be divided.” During the present meeting the union will try to obtain government recognition by the estabe lishment of a bureau of agriculture to be devoted to dairy interests. The union will be in session until next Saturday after- noon. tant questions which TALKS WITH PRESIDENT. Ir. Springer, who was In charge of the Carlisle currency bill in the lhouse, spent some time this morning with President Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle, meeting them separately. When Mr. Springer reached the house later he would not go into the details of the private conversations with the president and secre- tary, further than to say that there would be no abatement in the effort to secure cur- rency legislation. It was accepted by mem- bers as not only voicing Mr. Springer's views, but as definitely determining that the administration will go ahead with the policy It has undertaken. Mr. Springer says he knows of no new bill, although the present Dbill will be shaped to meet objections and command ~ support. “But,” added Mr. Springer, “no concession will go to the ex- tent of silver coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1,” Postmasters Confirmed by the Senate.

WASHINGTON, 10.—In a letter to Constructor General Wilson, congratulating him (Wilson) on his being placed on the re- tired list on the same conditions as if he had retired from the bureau of construction instead of resigning as he did in 1893, ex- Secretary Tracy comments on the upbuild- ing of the new navy as follows: 'he construction and development of the new navy during the period s absolutely without parallel ‘in the history of this or any other country. That, in the course of work which invoived the’construction of a modern fleet of battleships and crulsers of the highest class out of nothing in the space of ten years, some mistakes have been made is probably true. But the result represents one of the most extraordinary achievements of mechanical science, It has restored com- pletely the reputation of Americans as the foremost naval architects of the world,"” Reorzanization of the Navy. WASHINGTON, Jan, 10.—After consider- ing the subject for several weeks the house committee on naval affairs agreed to favor- ably report a bill to reorganize the person- nel of the navy.

It will be the first gathering of the committee in many months, and It is an- ticipated important action may be taken in view of the depleted revenues of the gov- nment. Mr. Wilson intends to call up the resolution introduced by Representative of Colorado regarding a enue to by a beer tax, and the probability is it will be favorably reported. Mr. Wilson's bill for taking off the one- nth of cent di ential on sugar from untries paying export bounty will also be considered. _ WASHINGT! ing of the democratic congressional paign committee since the fall election was held at the capltol today.

Then, in accordance announcement made yesterday, Mr, democrat of Missourl, moved that ¢ proceed to the consideration of the urgent deficiency bill, which contains an ap- propriation to carry the income tax into effect Mr. Hill, democrat of New York, who de- sires to speak on the income tax feature of the bill, sought to have an understanding reached by which the consideration of that portion of the measure might be delayed until next week., He said he not yet pre- pared to proceed, Mr. Cockrell was not disposed to delay the matter and the effort to reach an understand- ing failed. Mr. Quay, republican of Pennsylvania, moved to postpone the consideration of the bill until next week, but the presiding officer stated that that was not in order. and nay vote was then taken on Mr. s motion and It was agreed to—i3 was Cameron and Hill voted in the negative. The reading of the bill was then proceeded with. Mr. Blanchard, democrat of Louisiana, asked for a yea and nay vote on the amendment regarding colnage of silver coins. Mr. Blanchard said that the para- ph as passed by the house permitted the age of the uncurrent silver dollars, whereas the amendment of the senate com- mittee prevented their recolnage. The vote resulted: Yeas, 40; nays, 3, the negative vote including Messrs, Blanchard, Kyle and Peff The approp-iation of $25,000 for the enforce- ment of the Chinese exclusion act cas some discussion and the fact was devel that the secretary of the treasury had esti- mated §75,000 was actually necessary for the remainder of the fiscal year, but for the pres- ent the committee recommended the amount in the bill.

Mr. Hill of New York offered an amend- ment similar to that offered by Mr. Quay yesterday, providing that nothing shall pre- clude any court of the United States ha ing jurisdiction of the parties from consider- ing and determining as to the constitution- ality of the income tax law whenever by any proceeding which shall have been com- menced or be pending in such courts, such question shall be presented. Mr. Quay advocated the amendment and suggested that the only thing that now pre- vented the steps allowed by the amendment was section 1 of the Revised Statutes, which prohibits the maintaining by any court of a suit to restrain the collection of a tax. Mr. Hill asserted that there was a well founded judgment on the part of the best legal talent that the law is unconstitutional, wholly or partly, and the best lawyers had advised their clients that the law was to be resisted. Mr. Peffer moved to lay the amendment on the table. 2 Mr. Cockrell suggested that the only con- vention which had inserted a plank In its platform against the income tax was that of the state represented by the senator from New York, and that had not been carried by the people. This led Mr. Hill to reply the same convention referred to by the senator also endorsed the tariff bill, for which the senator had labored and vote Mr. Harris of Tennessee suggested withdrawal of the motion, but Mr. Peffer of Kansas objected. The motion to lay on the table was lost. Mr. Hill's amend- ment will come up tomorrow. Mr. Quay gave notice of the three follow- Ing amendments which he intends to offer to the urgent deficiency bill: To insert a provision repealing the income tax law; to insert the entire McKinley tariff act; and to_insert the wool tax. The urgent deficiency bill was then lald aside, and the Nicaraguan canal bill was taken up. Mr. Caffery of Louisiana de- clared that while favoring the construction of the canal, he was opposed to the means proposed in the bill for effecting this pur- pose. Mr. Caffery argued against the con- stitutionality of the measure, and asserted that the United States had no authority to delegate the power to regulate commerce to the Maritime Canal commission. A com- mission of engineers should examine a route, Without completing his remarks, Mr. Caffery yielded to a motion to proceed with exccutive business, and at 5 o'clock the senate went into executive session, and at the 5:26 p. m. adjourned.
