THE LATEST NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.
From WushIngtOn.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The Quaker
committee sent out to make a report on
Indian affairs in the Northern or Nebras-
ka Superintendency, has made its report
for the year just ended. This document
recommends as follows:
That no more Indians be removed
from their reservations that the Gener-
al Government carry ont all its treaty
obligations faithfully; that no more In
dian reservation land be sold at present !;
that when more is sold, means should
be taken to get class of upright and
industrious men as settlers that hos
pital, with a female graduate of medi-
cine, or a matron, should be established
at once on each reservation; that suf-
ficient number of industrial schools be
opened on each reservation, and that
Indians should be supplied with teams
and tools, and industriously urged to
become practical farmers. The commit
tee is of the opinion that the Indians,
while not accustomed to work, would
soon acquire industrious habits if they
have tools, and means, and proper en-
couragement and instruction. tits also
their opinion that if the recommends
tions they have made be carried out, and
the policy being pursued continued, the
Indians in the Northern Superintendent
cy will in a few years become civilized
and self-supporting, and able to exert a
good influence among their wilder
neighbors

TEXAN CATTLE.

There is prize within reach of En-
poria, which she may grasp by merely
stretching out her hand.
The cattle-trade of Texas is carried
on over two principal trails: the Chism
(spelling doubtfuD and Shawnee trails.
The former crosses. the Arkansas at
Wichita, and the latter in the Indian
Territory, below the mouth of the Wal
nut. The two meet above Wichita, and
extend to Abilene, ON the Kansas Pa
cific, where the cattle are shipped to the
eastern market.
The best information we have been
able to gather, is that $4,000 cattle came
over the Shawnee trail last year, and
over 100000 by the Chism trail. 1t will
readily be seen that this traffic is enor-
nous in its extent. The sale of $50, 1000
cattle implies an exchange of not less
than Three Millions of Dollars. A
large portion of the purchase-money is
paid in merchandise, which is obtained
at the Quitting point. Junction City
has reaped rich harvest in this way.
Atpresent, the cattle trails are forced
by law within certain limits, on account
of the dread of Spanish Fever" II
the business were left to itself, it would
naturally flow to Emporia. By this
route, the traders would save $50 to 2OC
miles of driving and freighting.
Could the law be so modified as to
allow the trade to come hither without
endangering the interest of our OWL
stock-growers?
The report of the Illinois commission
shows that the Spanish Fever is no
propagated by the air, nor by bodily
contact. 1t is caused by "entophytes'-
microscopic mushrooms bred in the Sc
cretions of the animals infected, and i
communicated only to such SIS feed up
on the pastures where the diseased cat
tie have scattered their saliva, Cattl
kept of the trail seem to be never in
fected.

THE XVIII AMENDMENT.

The car of progress moves steadily
on. No possible-at least no probable
combination of circumstances can now
occur to thwart the speedy ratification
of the XVIII amendment. There are
thirty-seven States; twenty-eight are
needed to ratify; twenty-seven have
done so already, viz:
Alabama, Florida, Kansas, Pennsylva-
mia, New Hampshire, Vermont, Wiscon-
sin, Massachusetts,, Mississippi, Arkan-
sas, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, New York, Rhode Island, Vir-
ginia, Connecticut, INDIANA, Maine,
Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina,
South Carolina, West Virginia, Ohio,
Iowa.
Only one more is needed. Nebraska,
whose legislature meets in few days
is certain to ratify, thus making ripe the
fruit of reconstruction. Without doubt
Georgia and Texas will add their names
TO the roll of honor.
Thus Freedom has extended her scep-
ter. Robert Burns "a mans a man for
a that" has received the fullest ratifica-
ton by this law which denies to no man
the right to vote because of race or col
or or previous condition of servitu

ROME. Jan. 22.-The Archbishop of
Paris delivered discourse before the
Ecumenical Council, full of wisdom and
moderation. 1t was listened to with
religious attention, and at the close he
was complimented by many of the
fathers.
Petitions against the excuses of lay
men who edit religious journals have
been drawn up and unanimously signed
by the fathers.
PARIS, Jan, 22.-About 1900 troops
have arrived at La CreuZot to prevent
disorder among the workmen who are
on strike.
Henri Rochefort's trial was brought
TO close to-day. He was convicted and
sentenced to six months imprisonment,
and to pay a fine of 800 francs. The
sentence does not disturb his position
as Deputy in the Corps Legislatif.
Rochefort refuses to appeal to the
Tribunal, because the magistrates were
not elected by universal suffrage, and
the proceedings of court not published.
LONDON, Jan. 22.-Advices received
from Bakers Expedition of discovery,

ST. Louis, Jan. 24.-The Democrats
Washington special gives numerous ac-
counts of the examination of Gould
and Fisk, by committee examining the
gold conspiracy. Gould stated to di-
rect question that he did not know a
thing in any way whatever, connecting
the President or his family with the
conspiracy. Gould says but little about
his testimony, but i'll less than three
hours after leaving the committee room,
Fish had told his story to room full of
reporters, who wrote it, but it embraces
but little more than what was published
in the New Y ork papers last fall. Fisk s
style, however, is very notable as the
following examples will show: When
asked what became of a certain $4,000
placed to Mrs. Grants credit, he replied,
ats June where there the woodbine
twineth:." Speaking of Corbin, he said,
'he is an old thief" and photographs
him in a single sentence thus, "when he
reaches his hand on the shelf he cleans
off everything on it."
The correspondent makes the follow
ing comparison of the two men: Gould
is quiet in manner and reticent in speech,
while Fisk is noisy and pushing and
garrulous to the last degree. Gould
gave his evidence with caution and pre-
cision. Fisk was profane, oratorical,
dramatic and hifalutin. Gould deliber-
ated OH every answer he made, and went
no further than necessity required.
Fisk poured out torrent of words, and
was no more to be checked than Nigga
ia in its flow. Gould gave no extrane-
Gus information ; but Fisk continually
stopped over. There was business in
the room while Gould sat in the witness
chair; the two hours of Fisk was a
broad farce, or a roaring comedy from
beginning to end. Gould made no pre-
tence, and attracted no attention. Fisk
was gorgeous with striped pantaloons,
brown velvet coat, a square yard of
shirt bosom, half a rod of gold chain, a
| diamond large as walnut, neck-tie of
| the latest and loudest swell pattern.
Both of them went back to New York
last evening.
