TEXAS PACIFIC SUBSIDY.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ia gentleman IA
miliar with railroad matters pending before
Congress says that one moro attempt will be
made this winter to get subsidy for the
Texas Pacific. He thinks that the ATTEMPT,
Will not meet with success, and wonders that
the hackers If the enterprise should be so
credulous as to waste any effort upon so vain
an undertaking.
INDIAN BUREAU TRANSFER.
The Indian bureau is preparing for the at
tack which is certain to be made upon it az
soon as Congress meets. The advocates of
the transfer of tho bureau to the war depart
mont will take advantage of the Ute out
break to urge the necessity of an immediate
change i'll tho Indian system. One of the
arguments which will be used
is the charge that the Indian bu.
reau was advised in time of the
imminent danger of an outbreak on the part
of the Utes, but delayed calling for troops
for the reason that it was hoped that the diff
tlcultles might be averted, and because there
was strong desire not to seem to be Deepen
dent upon the military in the condition of
Indian affairs. Secretary Schurz and Com
missioner Hayt, however, will undoubtedly
claim that the utmost diligence was used,
and that the delay in going to the relief of
Agent Meeker, If there was any delay, is not
to be attributed to the Indian Office or to the
interior department.
RALPH MEEKER's SAD MISSION.
kaiph Meeker, son of Meeker the agent
WHO was murdered at White River agency,
has received commission from the interior
department to proceed to that agency as soon
IS military operations will allow, and take
charge of the property there for which the
interior department is responsible. Mr..
Meeker has sought this mission in order if
possible to secure tho remains of his mur-
dered family.

town, and will be upon tho bench o-morrow,
except Justice Hunt, whose condition, how
ever IS such as to render it manifestly expe-
o'ent to postpone hearing of argument in
important cases with any hope of his being
able to participate in their decision
