SECRETARY BOUTWELLiS SYNDICATE AGAIN.
TBY TBLgGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l

WAsHINGroN, Dec. 10-The Ways and
Means Committee had long debate. this morning, on
Secretary Bouwes request for legislation, allowing
him 10 expend II per cent of the principal OF the new
loan in finding market for It, The Secretary wants to
renew hs contract with the syndicate and 'extend IL 10
eli the unsod balance Of the loan For placing the first
nstament of the loan In the Summer OF lS he allowed
the national banks composing tho syndicate to receive
three months interest the bonds before present
ing for exchange the old per cent bonds
with which they made payment. The efiect was
to give them II per cent commission in roundabout
way, although the law authorized the payment
OF only oneha of one per cent for all expenses Of print
ing engraving and selling the bonds. Last week the
Secretary informed the Committee that as the House
had ndorsed his last years bargain with tho syndicate
as legal he proposed dispose OF theret OF the loan
the same terms Mr.. Burchard, member OF lthe Com
mtee yesterday introduced bill giving legal sanction,
I'm rather obscure way, to the Secretarys proposed
course and 1t was this that the discussion arose To-
day 1t is understood that the opinions expressed by
the members OF the Committee showed that majority
do not favor the secretarys proposal and that they re-
gard the percentage he asks as cxtravagant.

CONCERNING SOLDIERS HONiESTEADS.
fBY TRLEGRAPA TO TIE TRIBUNEl


WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-There appears to he
no end yet to special legislation by Congress for the bene
tt or the pretended benefit OF the soldiers OF the late
eyar Last session generous was passed giving
them peculiar privileges the public lands as home
stead settlers The law requires only two years resi-
tence to obtain tite instead Of five as required OF
other ciuzens and permits the soldier to homestead
full auartersecton OF rairoa land nsteadtof so acres
1T originated in House Public Lands Committee, ana
superseded OF similar general purport, containing
some Objectionable provisions which was reported by
ahe Military Committee. The latter Committee now
insist on passing their own bill and duplicating most
OF the law Of last session, for the sake OF
getting provision adopted giving the soldiers eertn-
,caes emitting them select land and permitting them
ko sell and assign these certificates Mr. stoughton
had charge Of this bill, which up In the morning
enour today and brought out interesting discussion
kut no nal action. Mr.. Hawey OF the Public Lands
Eommittee opposed the assignment privilege as OF no
Sufficient benefit TO the soldiers TO counteroaance the
Sam il would do to other settlers in impairng the
aOmestead system There would be, he said, over

npieee to their holders scarcely enough 10 pay tue
claim agents their fees, and these certificates wou1
sDeediy pass the hands of specuators and would
absorb nearly all the remaining arabic land belonging 10
fle Government. The members OF the Committee were
sot able to make any good answer TO these oectOns
md the prospects that the bill WILL be defeated To-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-The House Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, at >their meeting this morning,
assigned among the several members OF the Committee
the portons OF the Presidents message concerning the
relations OF the United States with foreign countries

INDIAN AFFAIRS REVIEWED IN THE HOUSE
GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNBl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-After the morning
hour in the House the Indian Appropriation bill was
taken up in Committee of the Whole and Mr.. Sargent
who has ii in charge, made long speech which he ap
peared 70 take no pains to make his audience hear
Most OF it inaudibe in the reporters gallery. but
the few sentences that could be caught n seemed
10 be very comprehensive and interesting review OF
the present condition Of the Indian tribes and the re-
suits Of the policy the Government is pursuing toward
xhem said that the general condition Of the Tribes
was peaceable and was In marked contrast with their
condition three years ago. During the last year most of
them had remained their reservations and had made
some progress in civilization. Mr.. Sargent was
Obliged TO admit however that there were some
dark spots on TINS pleasant picture. The Apaehes in
Arizona had committed many murders and depreda-
fons the Comanches Texas had made raids
Ou the settlers the Sioux turbulent along the
line of the Northern Pacific Railroad SIN, with the
exception Of the threatened rising OF the Sioux to OBJ
rtruct the building Of the railroad there was less Indian
trouble than last year. He explained the peace Pohcy
justice and generous treatment toward good
Indians VINO stay their reservations, and sharp ana
summary punishment for the bad ones who go on the
war-path. The financial exhibit made by MT sargent
was quite satisfactory. The present bill approprates
$SS79G5 against s660j2 last year, showing saving Oh
9ytl6g.

GREENBACK QUESTIONS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The House Banking
and Currency Committee to-day authorized Mr. Monroe
to present with favorable report his bill to prevent
the circulation of counterfeit altered and spurious United
States and national bank notes The bill is useful
and provides that any officer of national bank who
may receive or whom may be offered in business. any
counterfeit United States national bank note is
authorized and required to write or stamp plainly
upon the face OF such note the word counterfeit" In
case Of altered spurious notes. those words SHALL III
like manner be stamped upon the notes. The Committee
again briefly considered the Of the Tenth National
Bank of New York, which, it ia charged. aided II. n.
Smith in making corner in greenbacks by locking up
last Winter 100000 OF that circulation. special sub
committee was appointed consisting of Messrs Farwe
Hooper, and Randall and from this fact it is thought
that the investigation is to be resumed with greater
vigor than last shown 1t Is probable that the
Committee will be required TO visit New-YorS.
