ukase continues: "These crimes have
made necessary the provisional adop-
tion of exceptional measures to permit
of the exemplary punishment of the
guilty persons and provide the govern
ment officials with the necessary power
for maintaining order"

appointment of governors general of st.
Petersburg, Charkoff and Odessa, in

districts where martial law has been
proclaimed. The control of all educa-
tional establishments is vested In the
governors general, who are also en-
powered to send before military tribu-
mails all civilians in the districts over

marily remove from their respective
districts all persons whose continued
residence may be considered dangerous;
to order the arrest of any person what
soever on their own Judgment and re-
sponsibility; to suppress temporarily or
permanently any newspapers or periodi-
Gals, should they appear to follow SUBJ
versive tendencies, and generally to
adopt such measures as they may con-
slider necessary for the preservation of
the public peace.

Washington, April 19.-Moses and
the chiefs with him, had final blisi-
ness interview with the secretary of
the interior, and the commissioner of
Indian affairs to-day. An agreement
has been made with the Indians by
which they surrender the lands hereto
fore occupied by them, in Washington
territory, and accept reservation set
apart for them by an executive order,
adjoining and west Of the Colville res
ervation in the northeastern part of the
territory. This reservation is large
one, larger than the Yakami reserva-
tion in the same territory, which con-
tains 800, 900 acres. 1t runs northward
to the 44th parallel, southwark along
the Mellow river and eastward to the
Colville reservation. A good deal Of
the land contained in it is mountain
Gus, but other large tracts are fertile,
well watered and well adapted for agri-
cultural purposes. The reservation

Negro Exodus.

New Orleans, April 19.-In the con-
vention of colored people the committee
on address, reported among other things
the disparity in the matter of popula-
tion as between the white and colored
inhabitants of the Red river parishes,
there being two colored to one white
man. The point was made that if the
negroes were given their rights they
would carry the elections. The colored
people, however, proposed to emigrate
and settle where they would be free
from shot-guns. The address touched
on emigration, but made mo definite
suggestions. A resolution favoring
emigration and asking aid of the north
provoked discussion, which led to some
confusion. The convention then ad-
journed.

using them in occupations where loathe-

dollars per month-more than the

House Proceedings.
IousE-AfrERNooN SESSION.

HoUsE-AFTERNooN SESSION.
Washington, April 19.-The house
then went into a committee of the
whole-Blackburn in the chair-on the
legislative appropriation bill.
Price, who was entitled to the floor,
yielded it to Frye, who said that in
connection with the misunderstanding
which had taken place yesterday, be-
tween the gentlemen from Kentucky
and Ohio blackburn and Mckinley,
in regard to the proper construction of
Blackburn's speech, he desired to read
to the house the construction put upon
that speech in Mississippi, by the now
famous paper, the Okolona States,
which he received through the mail.
He thereupon read with great empha-
sis an article strongly endorsing Black
burns recent speech, in which he said
he wanted to see the last vestige Of the
war measures stricken from the United
States statutes.
Blackburn having come down from
the chair during the reading of the ar
ticle, in an excited manner, said:
"Mr. Chairman: If this be not the
first time have been forced to COM
plain of unfairness at the hands of my
friends on the other side, it is certainly
the first time l have ever been COM
PEELED to make such a complaint against
the gentleman from Maine.
! have but this to say,
regret that every recurring day brings
up some personal assault which, 1t
seems to me, fair dealing, honesty of
construction and ordinary manhood
would repudiate. With each recurring
day find myself forced to repel mis-
construction, given either by some
members Of the house to language ut
tered by me in the shape of garbled
quotations, or else unwarranted con-
structions put upon somebody else's
language by members that side Of the
house. group the paper and the gen.
tleman from Maine together, and say
to this committee and the country, that
1t occurs to me they are well mated
the one is as unfair as the other is illib-
eral and crazy" Applause and laugh
ter on democratic side Of the house.)
Frye.-"The one was colonel in
tho confederate service, and not a car
pet-bagger from Ohio. The one was tho
peer of the gentleman from Kentucky
In that service in the south; Of the
other I have nothing to say. (Applause
on republican side.)
Blackburn, who had by this time
moved into the area in front of the
Speakers chair, and who stood there
surrounded by many democratic MEM
bers, continued his remarks at length.
In conclusion, he expressed the hope
that there would now be an end to this
miserable wrangling. He never COM
planned of manly blow struck from
The front, but only Of an unmanly stab
delivered in the back.
This discussion here terminated, and
Blackburn resumed his place as chair
man Of the committee Of the whole.
Price, of Iowa, delivered lengthy
speech against the repeal of the cleo
tion laws.
One gentleman from Mississippi had
told the house that the republican par
W was dead and damned. Well, II
must be admitted that IL was the liyeli.

Good Bye Sitting Bull,

Washington, April 19.-The secre-
tary of war has addressed letter to
Gen. Sherman directing him, in case
Sitting Bull or any of his followers
cross over from the British possessions
they be held as prisoners of war until
further orders from the president. In
view of this action, Sitting Bull and his
band have reluctantly subjected them
selves to the authority of Great Britain,
and ceased to be subjects of the United
States. They will not now be permitted,
even with peaceable intentions, to re-
cross the frontier.
