THE YELLOW FEVER BOARD.

Washington, Jan. S0.-The board of ex-
perts investigating the yellow fever epidem-
ic Of 1873 has submitted a long report TO
the Joint congressional committee. The re-
port recommended that necessary stels be
taken by congress to secure the cooperation
of the Spanish and other foreign govern.
ments, through an international commission
or otherwise in an earnest effort to ascertain
the causes that perpetuate yellow from year
to year in the West India islands, and to
devise ways to remove the cause or to les
sen the chances of transportating the poison
to other countries. Yellow fever should be
dealt with as an enemy which imperils life
and cripples commerce and industry. The
outline of the system Of quarantine hereto
fore published is presented, the object of
which is to afford the greatest a~ttainable de-
gree Of protection against the introduction
and spread Of infectious and epidemic dis
eases. The report takes the ground that
yellow fever is an imported disease, and as
the etf1uvium which emanates from the bod
les Of the dead may be associated with in.
fiction it is recommended that the bodies of
persons who die Of yellow fever be prompt
ly buried and that the assembling of persons
at funerals be discouraged.
With the exception of DR.. Downs the
board voted for the report unanimously.
That gentleman said that whilst indorsing
fully the necessity of a well-regulated quar-
entlne to protect the people of this country
against exposure to the importation of in
fictitious diseases from aboard and against
the spread of similar diseases in our midst,
he had in view that yellow fever may be de-
veloped by Indigenous as well AS by impor-
ted Ooison.

a Large Number OF Br1tlSh anu Amer

Chicago, Jan. 29.-Gen. Sheridan is in

NJ. T., from Indian agent W. L. Lincoln, Of
date of SANITARY 4, confirming the Jews Of
Sitting Bull having crossed the border. He
says he Is reliably informed that there are

will agree thereto with the code Of law.
applicable to them, defining crime and
providing judiciary, especially in what il
known as the Indian territory. In the
opinion Of the committee snch legislation y
~imperatively needed, and noStime ought to
be lost in making the necessary provisions
therefor. Men Of integrity who are compe-
tent to administer the affairs Of an Indian
agency successfully can in most cases com.
mand large salaries at less sacrifice. The
salary should be large enough to employ
honorable men with decided executive
ability, and to enable them to take their
families with them TO the agenciet and to
support them, their pay ought to be more
liberal and the tenure Of Office should be
secure for a term of years, provided
the agent should prove worthy.
Laws providing for the punishment of
wrong doors in this branch Of the service
ought to be exceedingly severe. We are
assured that this policy has been inaugura-
ted, and that already good results are felt.
As the commissioner Of Indian affairs testi-
fes, there has not been a single defalcation
under the present administration. The
commission believe the war department is
no more economical and efficient than the
interior department in the purchase Of sup
plies and their transportation. We are Of
the opinion that the Indian bureau should
be a distinct department with the chief a
member of the presidents cabinet. This
will aid much in the solution of future COM
plications in Indian affairs. The Indian
should be protected in his rights to land,
and a safe guard ought to be thrown around
him so as to prevent designing persons from
flching his homestead or inducing him to
sell it for a trifling consideration. He
should not have the right to sell his land
without the consent of the department., I'M
der 81 years.
Your committee can discover not one
good reason why the proposed change should
be made. They believe that harm rather
than good to the Indian would result from
the change and that no possible advantage
could result to the government from it.
The report is accompanied by 4 bill au-
thorizing the president to transfer the Gus
tody, control and management Of any Indian
tribes from the interior to the war depart
ment temporarily, whenever in his judy
ment he shall deem it advisable to do so,
either on account Of actual or apprehended
hostilities of the Indians against the United
States, or in case of difficulties between such
Indians and settlers.
The bill further proposes to authorize the
president to detail any officers of the army
to act as Indian agents or inspectors, or in
any other capacity in the Indian service
and exercising the same powers and subject
to the samerules and regulations as civil
officials, and an appropriation Of S15,0 900 is
recommended to pay the traveling expenses
Of the officers thus determined during the
next fiscal year.

THE RENO TRIAL.

Chicago, Jan 29.-Chas. De Rudio, first
lieutenant Of the Seventh cavalry, testified
in the Reno case to-day that Reno was the
first one to cross the river to attack the In.
diaus. The retreat was like a panic, be-
cause the men refused to obey his orders to
remain and he was cut off in the timber,
where he heard Il heavy volley firing down
the river, which he believed was Custer.
The Indians passed 60 close to. him that he
could hear their children crying. They
fred the woods and moved away on the
morning Of the 26th, some being dressed in
the massacred soldiers clothes and one wore
Captain Thomas Custer's garments. He
saw nothing Indicative of cowardice in
Reno. He acted splendidly. He believed
more Indians attacked Reno than Custer.
Edward Daven, orderly to Reno, gave his
testimony which was not vital.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
The Debate In the House-The Passage of
the Restrictive Bill.

The Debate In the H~ouse-The Passage of
the Restrictive Bill.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-The time for the
discussion of the Chinese immigration bill
to day was limited to one hour, and Mr..
Willis gave one-half of his hour to Mr..
Townsend, of New York, the only repub-
lican known to be willing to speak against
the bill. The purpose of these tactics was
to obtain tor the democrats the largest pos
sible credit for the bills passage. Mr..
Townsend declined to share his time with
any republican except Mr.. Page, and yield
ed only five minutes to him, during which
Mr.. Page argued mainly to show that the
bill did not in fact contravene the Burlin-
game treaty, as the latter provided in its
fifth section for restricting immigration on
either side to certain specified purposes, and
that the Chinese immigration, against which
the bill legislates, is not immigration in the
true sense. Mr.. Townsend made an earnest
but somewhat rambling speech, arguing
that cheap labor is desirable, that these
Chinese are valuable to the country, and
that the crusade against them is simply a
repetition Of the Efforts a few years ago to
exclude or discourage the immigration of
the Irish and Germans. He also claimed
that it is the outgrowth of the same spirit
WutCu III past hkCS CACllCu luc p~cIScCulIGu
of the;Jews in Europe. His speech through
out Was based upon the brotherhood of man
sentiment, and he INDUCED in many sarcas-
tic references to the story of Bill Nye and
the heather Chinee. Luttrell made a FIVE
minutes speech, devoted mainly to an at
tempt to show that the republican party had
obstructed Legislation on this subject by re.
fusing to adopt the amendment offered by
him to an appropriation bill to prohibit the
of Chinese in the navy yards.
He did not state that this was ruled out
it was new legislation and inadmis
sible under the rules of the house.. Will
liams, of Oregon, before Luttrell spoke, had
to day endeavored 70 offer a similar amend
ment to this bill, but the democrats object
ed to its reception. Willis made a calm,
speech, recapitulating the argu-
ments of his report. and laying special
stress upon the unanimity of the Pacific
coast sentiment OF this subject, and upon
he fact that all other countries where Chi
1ese had immigrated had been forced by
experiences, to adort restrictive
measures. Amendments we're offered bv
dr. Cooper exempting Chineselstudents
rom the bill, and by Mr.. Garfield providing
hat formal diplomatic notice should be
,iven the Chinese government of the termi-
lation of the treaty before the bill goes in
o effect, but all amendments were excluded
y demand for the previous question, and
be bill, passed on q yea and nay vote as
,bOve stated.

DIVIDING THE TERRITORY.

1t is good that the Sioux City Journal il
SO near and go neighborly. II is constantly
instituting sugeessions. from out the good
ness OF its heart, and whenever the press Of
the territory evinces a change OF base upon
any subject, the motherly old sheet is on
deck and full Of lively solicitude lest some
of its Immature shildren may have inadver-
tently said something which the public
might not understand but for the Journals
explanatory efforts: Its latest solicitude is
upon, the project for q division Of the terri
tory. It says:
The revolution in sentiment IN the ques.
ton of bringing Dakota into the union rs a
state is not confined to the Hills country,
but has spread to northern Dakota and to
Yankton. Mr.. Bnrbank's memorial to con-
gress praying for the early creation offs new
territory out of the northern half of Dako-
ia; the Black Hills people are looking for a
new territory for their country, and the
Yankton Press has Withdrawn from the list
Of anxious advocates for statehood.
The Journal then publishes our remarks
upon the memorial introduced into the leg
islature by Mr.. Burbank, of Richland coun-
ty, and soliloquizes thus:
The above will strike the reader who re-
members the recent anxiety of the Yankton
Press for statehood as a little peculiar and a
triae sudden. The future capital business,
in the event of admission to the union, was
a point, evidently, the Press had not care
fully considered prior to the time it made
its earnest and powerful appeals for union
with the sisterhood of states.
The Journal will doubtless remember that
a proper geographical division Of the terri
tory has always been advocated by southern
Dakota, but that there has generally been
an opposition to that move in the Red river
valley. Pending a settlement of this differ
ence the bill for the admission of Dakota as
a state was introduced in congress. We
hailed it as q measure which promised relief
from our present chaotic condition and ad-
vocated it, in spite of the Objectionable fea-
ture within it which was that Dakota was
to be admitted as a whole. Later has come
the memorial to congress praying for a di-
vision of the territory, and introduced and
advocated by a northern Dakota man. This
action places southern Dakota in a position
to urge the scheme. Northern Dakota asks
to be set apart and erected into a new terri
tory. Its proposition accords with the
views of southern Dakota. There is per.
feet harmony upon the main issue and d.
vlding lines suggested accord with the
wishes of the people of this corner of til,
territory. Now that we all agree upon tn,
subject there is no improperly in urging i
and in expressing a preference for division
over even the admission of the whole O
Dakota as one state. The Journal will
please make a note of the fact that circum.
stances alter cases. While we hold that
Dakota as a state is preferable to Dakota as
a territory, there is no improperly in ad-
hitting that. Dakota as two territories and
finally Two states can do more for its people
than if it retains its present dimensions.
