House party leaders say that although

General Sherman favors extending
to the white people aud their property,
as we'll as to the property of the Unit
ed States, full and ample military
protection from the depredatious of
hostile Indians. While he Is moi actu-
ally in favor OF a fighting policy to
ward the Indians instead OF one of
feeding them; he has always advocated
the theory that the army should have
full control of he Indian question.

country and may again become
troublesome.
Louisiana's Debt.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. %.
A syndicate of eminent tinanciers in
Europe have proposed to loan the
State of Louisiana Sl2 $50 900 with
which the State must call in and pay
off her present debt at par with inter
es. TO date of retirement. The Sta II
must then issue the same amount of
bonds to the syndicate, bearing five
per cent. interest, the principal and in
terest made payable in forty years.
Under this arrangement the State
would be required To pay only about
$3.50 900 per aunum on account Of the
principal and interest, instead of the
$500 900 now required To pay interest
on the Stats bonds. IL is believed,
however, that this proposition can
not, under the Constitution and the
the present state of the laws, be &C.
copied.
