es from New York state that man has
been discovered in that city, thought to be
Capt. Little, of Nashville, who mysteriously
disappeared while en- route TO attend the

been examined here that it was thought at
the time might be his, but friends of Little
failed to identify him. .

THE ANDES GRADUALLY SINKING

Travellers who wish to ascend the Andes
should lose no time in carrying out their
intention, otherwise they will perhaps find
no Andes to ascend. These unfortunate
mountains seem to be sinking rapidly. A
list of the attitudes Of some nf the most
important points determined at distinct in
tervals of time is given in recent number
of the hJJSlGnd, and tells sad story of
diminished proportions. Quito was found
by La Condamine, in l745, to be 1886 feet
above the sea; Humboldt, in 1908, could
only make $50 feet of it; Boussingault, in
1851, was startled TO find it was only 1867
feet; Orion, in 1867, found it reduced to
$3.50 feet, and Reiss and StuOel doubtless
to their honor) found, in 1870, that it had
strunk 10 the TidiculoUsly small size Cf
unly $3.50 feet above the level of the sea.
Quito, it seems, has sunk 24G feet in 125
years, and Pichincha 2lS feet in the same
period. Its crater has sunk 425 feet during
the last twenty-six years, and Antisana 165
feet in sixty-four years. 1t is, however, a
doubtful point whether this continued de-
preston ot the Andes is attributable to the
Striking Of the mountains or the rising Of

Hartley & Graham, and put in bid
for portion of the arms advertised TO
be sold on October 10th, 1870, He
knew that Remington was purchasing
breech-ioading arms for the French
government. About the middle of
December, 1870, witness was at
Frankfort, Pennsylvania, where the
arsenal for manufacturing cartridges
and other ammunition for the United
States is located. Remington, Squire,
General Dyer and Colonel TreadWell, !,
the last named c0mmandant of the
arsenal, were there at that time. He

chasing ammunition.

MISSISSIPPI
Eors Troops Called Fer-erant Preparing
for the Fall Campaign.

WASHINGTON, April 1. - General
Emery has sent to the War Depart
ment letter from his lieutenant and
aid. de camp, King, dated at New Or
leans March 9th, saying that great
laWlessness exists throughout the en-
tire State OF Mississippi, but 1t can
not all be ascribed TO the kuklux or
ganization. The trial of several
prominent members OF the gang and
the arrest of a large party from the
vicinity of Corinth and their coDflne-
ment in the post guardhouse at Holly
Springs has done much towards their
disbandment, nevertheless there is a
bitter and resentful spirit in every
portion of the State against the
Federal Government and, there
can be no possible doubt OF the
fact that when unsupported by regu.
lar troops the authorities are detied
and their lives threatened by desper-
ADDE'S whom they are constantly
called on TO arrest. Messrs. Pierce
and Shaughnessy, United States mar
shals for the northern and southern
districts OF Mississippi respectively,
and Wiley Wells, district attorney,
are given as authority for these state
ments. General Emery, In a letter
dated March 9Th, saysi "Last month

communications asking for troops. 1

that these acquisitions are well found

Senator Morton offered a resolution
directing the Secretary of War to
make a report concerning the opera
tiOn Of the eight-hour law in the
armory at Springfield, compared with
the forhier system of ten hours.

Senator Morton accepted the amend

Bills were introduced as follows:
By Senator Logan-Authorizing the
construction of a bridge across the
Mississippi river between Warsaw,
Illinois, and Alexandria, Missouri.
By Senator Harlan-For the pro-

Senator Cole called up the bill to

liza. At the morning hour, it went

The Indian appropriation bill was
taken up.
The motion of Senator Pomeroy to
lay aside the appropriation bill for the
Australian bill was lost-yeas 8, nays
81.
The Indian appropriation bill was
then read.
Senator Cole explained the bill. He
said that the committee had gone
carefully through with it as it came
from the House, and had reduced the
aggregate amount appropriated to
one hundred and forty-One thousand
two hundred and fifty dollars,
so that il no amendments were
made adding to the appropriations,
the entire sum required by the bill
would be about f1Ve million seven
hundred and seventy-five thousand
dollars. Most of the appropriations
which were called for by the stipula-
tions Of the treaties with the Indians
were made long ago, and many of
which could not be defended. The
policy of the government now seemed
to be to make no more treaties with
the Indians--a fact on which
the country was to be congratulated.
He SAID that the Sioux Indians were
to receive nearly one-half of th6 whole
amount appropriated, and the Apach-
es also to receive large sum, which
is necessary in order to keep these In
disns from making war. But he
thought that in many instances they
could be more cheaply, wisely and
efieetUally dealt with by the military
arm of the government. He hoped
the day would soon come when the
Indians would be regarded as citizens,
and would receive neither more nor
less bounty or protection than other
citizens.
The amendments reported from the
Committee on Appropriations were
acted on.
Senator Harlan, from the Committee
on Indian Affairs, submitted certain
amendments to bill relative to pri-
vate land claims in Alabama, Louisi-
ana and Florida, which were passed.
