mittee of the Whole on education.
Moreland reopened the debate,
speaking in opposition to Section
10 of the report. He contended
that the Legislature at the last ses.
sion Illegally consolidated with
the University funds the Agricult.
ural fund, which an Act of Congress
declares shall be inviolably held
separate.
Estee endorsed the section as re.
ported by the Committee. He be-
lieved that the university fund was
public trust, and should be so de.
clared.
The Committee rose for recess.

Resurn-The ARREARS Of Pensions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-At the
Cabinet session to-day Secretary
Schurz stated that he had received
report from the Indian agent at
Cheyenne Agency to the effect that
information had reached that place
of the recrossing of the Canadian
line into the United States of the
noted Chief Sitting Bull with his
people, and that they are exceed
ingly anxious to return to this
country and come under the SUPER
vision of the Indian Bureau and be
distributed In tho Indian country
as are other tribes. This
news was not confirmed by
any information at the War De-
partment, but it Is thought worthy
of consideration and led to some
discussion. 1t Is reported that
some 5000 lodges or nearly $1,000
people are with Sitting Bull. The
subject will receive immediate at
tention from the President and the
Secretaries of War and Interior
Departments. kilograms will be
sent to officers of the War Depart
ment as well as to Indian agents
requiring them to give the author
tiles here information on this mat
ter. The report is that Sitting Bull
comes with the most peaceable in
tention, but in the present dis
turbed condition of Indian affairs
1t Is not known what may be his
meaning.
Another subject of discussion
was the bill for the payment of ar
rears of pensions, which recently
passed Congress. The discussion
was not whether the bill should be
approved or signed, but as to its
results If carried out. Secretary
Sherman and Secretary Schurz
both made statements as to the |
amount which it was estimated |
would be called for. Secretary
Sherman estimated the figures at |
about $50, 100000, and said If that
amount should go out of the Treas
ury it would create deficit. Sec.
retary Schurz's estimate, which
was from missioner of PEN
sions Bently, placed the amount at
$50, 900, 900. There was no decision
as TO how the bill should be dealt
with.

A GiaIf OF G0id ia Omaha.
OMAHA, Jan. 22.-There is an op-
pressive glut of gold in this city,
and bankers complain that they
cannot get rid of it, the people pre-
ferring currency and bringing gold
back as soon as they can when
forced to take it. The correspond
ent in charge of the Omaha Nation
al Bank has refused to pay express
age on balances, and iJ threatens
to be an expensive article. Testi-
mony on this point is unanimous.
One reason of the over-supply Is
that gold comes in rapidly from
the West, mainly from San
Francisco. The Union Pa
cific paid off its employees from
Omaha to Ogden last month in
gold, which usually takes $3.50, 900,
and they also disbursed among
their help in this city last month
over $1,000 in gold. The Omaha
National Bank, being the depos.
itory of the Union Pacific, receives
daily from 100000 to 5000, 900 in
gold from the West. 1t isa fact that
the Omaha banks, of which there
are four, are now paying their ex-
chanpa as hRfWeen thamSelYps in
