The Indian Bureau.
The House Committee on Indian Affairs have
appointed subcommittee consisting of Messrs
Wilshio, Boone. Hooker, Seeye and Page, to
report the subject of recognizing the Indian
Bureau. The subcommittee met today for pre-
liminary discussion, and Representative Seelye
submitted proposition which embraces entire
revolution in the management of Indian af-
fairs, in the first place making provisions for
extending the laws OF the United States over
evory Indian, giving him the same status in the
courts, comforting upon him the same rights
and exactipg from him the same duties as be.
long to any citizen or subject of the United
States. abolishing the Office of Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, and transferring the entire
functions OF the bureau to an Indian board of
trust, constituted somewhat after the manner
OF great charitable and educational corpora
tions. 1t is the opinion of the committee that
some change in the management of Indian af-
fairs is indispensable, and that the transfer of
the Indian Bureau to the War Department
would be no improvement on the present man
agement.

NEW YORK.
Passenger and Freight Rates


NEW YORK, Dec. 21-It is now stated that
initial steps are being taken to advance the
passenger rates on all the trunk lines to the
West There are reports that the general
freight agents cannot agree, and that the ad-
vance agreed upon by the managers last week
cannot be carried into effect. Another report
is that the present advance has been definitely
settled, and still higher rates are in contempla
ton and will be put IN force next month. The
passenger rates between New York and Chi
csgo will be raised from $13 to 1922.
The Tribune says that ON the question of
freight rates at yesterdays meeting Of railroad
freight agents here the representatives of the
Canada Grand Trunk road refused to vote. 1t
Was understood that they were instructed to do
nothing IN regard to freight rates until salts
factory arrangement was made with their road
in regard to passenger and live stock rates,
about which the General Manager will consult
with Mr.. Vanderbilt in day or two.
This refusal brought business to stand-still,
and the meeting adjourned until today, when,
it is understood, the agents will proceed with
out consulting the Grand Trunk men in any
way il. they again refuse 70 vote. 1t is proba-
BILE that only through rates of freight will be
settled at this conference, as it is evident that
rupture will ensue if the agents attempt to
adjust local rates and those of goods for re-
shipment. The matter will be left open for the
present, and taken up on future occasion if

GEO. F. HOAR'S OPINION.
He Thinks Gov. Hayes Will be Declared
Elected and InauRurated


WASHINGTON, Dec 21.-Mr. George f. Hoar
says the forthcoming Louisiana reports will
probably be squarely contradictory, and willkbe
accompanied BY mass of testimony SO volum-
inous that the country and Congress itself will
not have time to digest it. There will be
proposition to refer the question to some
outside tribunal, but that proposition will fail.
nrst because there IS no provision in the con-
stitutlon or precedent in our history for it, and
second, because in the struggle of both parties
for the advantage in the composition of the tri-
6unai, an agreement will be almost impossible.
This being the situation, the Senate and House
Will meet and the President of the Senate will
count the vote and declare Governor HAYES
elected. The administration will see that he is
inaugurated. In my opinion, Mr.. Hoar says,
there viii be no trouble, no revolution, no war,
and for these reasons. The Democratic partv
Is 80 strong, has polled so large vote and has
90 many advantages in its favor, that its tri-
umph four years hence Is as certain as ANYTHING
In the future can be. The leaders of the marty
will not be likely to do anything which Would
throw them back into their old condition of a
hopeless minority, which they would certainly
be by inaugurating anything like rebellion.
The South will be tranquil, because it knows
very well that the inevitable end of resort to
force and violence on its part would be to bring
about reunited North, and the South knows
what that means.
1t is the intention of the leading Senators to
take no part in any debate upon the count
ing of the electoral vote until the return of the
committee from she South, when their state.
ment OF facts is made, and the evidence is in.
