New Orleans, April 23.-The steam
boats Exporter, John Boyle and Chas.
Bodman, were burned this evening at
the foot of Poydras street. The fire
originated in the blacksmith's shop of
the Kyle, and spread with such rapid
ity that the cabin was in flames in
in less than five minutes after the
alarm was given. She was cut loose
and drifted up the stream, there being
an eddy at the spot where she was
lying. The Exporter and Bodman
were also cut loose, and the burning
vessel drifted against the Exporter,
setting her on fire ut once. The peo-
pie on board of her seeing no other
refuge, jumped on the Bodman which,
moment later, also caught fire, and
was soon enveloped in flames, and
these burning boats driftcd into the
current. The people on BOARD
of the last named two boats jumped
overheard, and though some were
saved, larger number is believed to
have been lost-the number is va
riously estimated at from 20 to 100.
On one of the boats there was an ex-
cursion party from Cincinnati or
Pittsburg, many of whom are feared
to have been lost. Loss on boats $780,
OOO-all supposed to be insured.

royal commission of inquiry would
content the people of England, who

been done. He stated that he had

The Indian negotiations OF Washing
ton will result, probably, in the vacation
of the Nebraska hunting district by the
Sioux, without the expenditure, by the
Government of the S25, 900, which they
refuse to take until they can go home
and consult with the tribe. The Sher-
man-Augur treaty of 1868 cedes the Ne
braska district to them as long as buffalo
are to be found there, and tho Govern
ment, it is said, can prove by admission
of the Indians themselves that buffalo
are rarely seen there. The trip of the
indians to Washington has been both
expensive and useless.

The Washington Republican is in o
very bad humcr with the hotel-keepers
of that city, because they allow Spotted
Tail and his select company of savages to
sita the table with white people. These
ted brethren are undeniably little
dirty, little uncouth and ill-mannered,
but they are 'brethren, nevertheless, if
their skins are red. Why should the
Radical Republican have such IN antipa-
thy to color and even dirt? 1t is really
depressing to observe it, after all the les
sons of equality TINT paper has given its
