THE ROCK ISLAND BRIDGE.

A span OF the railroad bridge over
the Mississippi between Rock Island and
Davenport, Iowa, went down last Sat
nrday with four cars. The trainmen
escaped without injury. A misplaced
switch, which threw the engine off the
track, and against the frame Of the
bridge, caused the accident
Time was when the people of ST.
Louis and steamboat men generally,
would rejoice over the falling, burning,
sinking or humiliation of the Rock
Island bridge, but that was long ago,
when the trade Of Western Illinois and
Central and Northern Iowa was diverted
from the Mississippi and st. Louis to
Chicago by the completion of the
Rock Island bridge. In 1855 shortly
after the bridge was completed, asteam-
boat called the Effie Alton, caught fire
under the main span of the. bridge, and

till it fred the bridge. 1t was charged
that the st. Louis merchants and steam
boat men, sent the Egie Alton up the
river for the express purpose of burning
the bridge, which it partially succeeded
in accomplishing. Large RATS were also
let run down the rapids, where the
bridge is situated, against the piers, but
the RATS invariably went to pieces, while
the piers were not affected. The St.
Louis people failing in these attempts

the trial which ensued, were worsted.
Chicago won the prize for which it con-
tended, ann st. Louis lost, and has
aeyer since regained the trade Of Iowa.

ABOUT THE INDIANS.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs
recommends that the Malheur Agency
be abolished, and that the Reservation
lands be appraised and sold, the pro-
ceeds of the sale to be invested for the
Indians. Mr.. Hayt is enthusiastic in
his praise of the Yakima Reservation,
i'll Washington Territory. He says In
dian civilization is carried on there on
business principles; every Indian is put
to work to earn his own subsistence
and work out his own civilization. The
prisoners of war taken there from Nc
Dermit and Harvey last Winter have
improved in every respect, and accord
ing to the Commissioners report, it is
the model Indian Agency of the United
States. Letters received here by
Naelles, from his sister Sarah Winnie
mucca, corroborate the Commissioners
report in some respects. She writes
that the Indians are well provided for
and great pains are taken to educate
them at Yakima, but the mortality
among those taken there as prisoners
from Malheur is very gread-=-over sew
enty of them having gone to the happy
hunting grounds in less than year.
The Commissioner recommends that the
three hundred Indians now in the vi
entity Of Malheur Agency and Forts
Bidwell and McDermit be sent to Va
kima. This implies that the Commits
sioner labors under the delusion that
there are Indians at and in the vicinity
of Malheur Reservation, when in fact
there has not been an Indian on the
Reservation since the Summer of 1878.
The Indians living in this vicinity are
peaceable, aud it would be an outrage
to force them to go to Yakima against
their will. They are attached to their
native sageland, the land where them
selves and their forefathers were born;
and it would be grossly unjust to take
them as prisoners to Yakima, where the
members of their tribe who joined the
hostile Bannocks year ago last Sum-
mer are dying by the score. The
white settlers in this part of the conn-
try, who employ Indians on their
ranches, do not want chem to leave,
and the Indians will not voluntarily 60
If an attempt is made to carry out the
recommendation of Commissioner Hayt
relative to their removal, it will take
the greater part Of the army year or
two to capture them, and Indians who
are now living in peace with the whites
will become their enemies. Those that
are captured will have to be held as
prisoners and taken away by force, as
their love Of the land of their birth is
strong, and at the council held here re-
Gently, each and all of their leading
men emphatically declared that they
did not want to leave it.

TELEGRAPuIC ITEMS.

The New York Sun has an epitOme of
the Presidents coming message, it says:
Hayes is a strong hard-money man.
He is of the opinion that greenbseks
should be gradually Withdrawn from
circulation, and gold and silver be
issued instead, and he will ask Cor
gress to pass a law immediately to
carry his recommendation into effect.
He will also request Congress to pass a
law limiting the further coinage of
standard silver dollars. In this mes
sage, Hayes will draw a line between
the duties of the Executive and inter
ference of the legislative branch of the
Government, in the matter of making
appointments, as broadly as possible.
He wishes to break up the habit which
members of Congress have on trying to-
dictate appointments. The message
will also deal with the subject of inter
ference of Governzsett employees with
political affairs. President Hayes does
not approve of officeholders becoming
ward politicians. debating at primaries
and in conventions. He recognizes the
fact that a man by taking Office does
not relinquish his political rights, and
he only desires that an ofice-seeker
should comport himself decently and
not neglect his public duties to mingle
in politics.
A Special from Los Pinos says: Ouray
stated to the Commissioner that he. is
prepared to prove by the testimony of
members of his tribe that secret ennis
saries from the Mermons have been con-
ferling with the White River Utes and
attempting to prolong the hostilities by
promising to furnish arms and ammunition
at a certain point OH Grand river for
their use as long as they would fight
