made to procure the attendance Of the captain and
of the ship orphcus at the inquest upon the bodies
OF the victims OF the steamship Pacific disaster. A
searching nqury is to be made to the cause of
the disaster. Charles Thompson, of the crew of

THE INDIAN DEPRECIATION cLAIMs-sPEcIAL
LEGISLATION REQUIRED FOR THEIR PAY
MENT.
The Commissioner Of Indian Affairs In his forth
coming report, will call attention 70 the fact that,
although claims for Indian depredatons amounting to
nearly S. OOO 900 have from time to time filed in
the Bureau transmitted Congress for its action
only few OF them. aggregating the inconsiderable
sum Of $4,000, have YET received Congressional
attention. Commissioner Smith will, therefore, sug-
gcst that there should either be less work done these
claims or in other words unless proposed to act
upon such cases claimants should be spared the la.
Dor and expense Of preierring them and the bureau
absolved from their reception and preliminary OK
animation well the never ending task of re-
plying to letters and constant inquiries concerning
their status During several years the bureau was at
liberty to pay well authenticated claims Of this sort
out of funds appropriated for the respective tribes
among whom the depredators numbered, and
did pay about $1,000 in this manner, but the law
Of 1872 prohibited the payment OF any such
claims without special legislation and required them
all to be sent to Congress for its action.
THE FISHERIES RUMoR TREATED WITH CON-
TEMPT.
The report that the recent naval preparations had
reference to the Canadian fisheries is not here consid
cred worthy contradiction as it is so plainly incon-
sistent with the Treaty Of Washington the object Of
which, its preamble Declares ito provide for
amcable settlement OF all causes OF difference" be-
the United States and Great Britain The latter
country having carried out the part OF the treaty
lating to the so called Alabama claims there is
son to suppose that the United States possess less
honor than Great Britain performance of treaty OBJ
