PRAISE FOR KX-CoMMIssIoNER HAYT AND AN
AMENDMENT ABoLIsHING THE BOARD OF CON-
MIssIoNERs.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRmUNE.l
WASHINGTON. April 16.-A bare quorum OF the
House continued the consideration and discussion
of Che Indian Appropriation bill to-day, but did not
get through with 1t. The amendment by the Indian
Committee to strike out the appropriation OF $7,ooO
for the expenses of the Board of Indian Commits
sioners was modified so as TO abolish the Board
itself. and was then adopted without division. A
number of short speeches were made in favor OF the
amendment, and Mr.. Haskell of Kansas, opposed it.
In his speech, Chairman Scales, of the Indian
Committee, made curious defence of ex-Commis-
siouer Hayt Mr. Belford, of Colorado asked MIR.
Scales IL he did not know that the Indian Board
had within the last few months rendered an ines
Unable service by securing the removal OF Mr.
Hayt Mr. Scales replied that he did not know but
that Mr. Hayt deservedto to be driven from his ofce;
had furnished him with more facilities to correct
abuses In the Indian service than any other Com
missioner who had been in Office since ne had been
member of the Indian Committee. No one OF oil
who smoke in favor of the amendment appeared TO
have an intelligent idea of the work which has been
done by the indian Board. -,
Chairman Scales made an attempt to have the
appropriation for Indian police stricken out, but IN
this he happily failed The discussion OF today only
served to confirm the impression tnat the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES Is far at questions OF Indian
administration. and that little help from that BODY
toward solving those questions can be expected

BE FATAL.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIsUNE1
WASHINGTON, April 16.-FOur weeks ago. aAter
an unjustifiable delay Of nearly four months tne
House of Representatives passed the " 1mmeuiAte
Defclency bill This bill contains the item Tor the
Eos of limited States Marshals, now nearly ten
months in arrears, an item of about $0,OOO'oOO 70
nav pensioners Of the late war. and an Item OF
ee O To fit out ship for the relief Of the crews OF
two whaling vessels which are imprisoned in the
ice In the Arctic Ocean. As the title OF the Dill lu
Dorts. there was immediate need of the appro'
uriation in each case. The bill was sent 10 the oeh
ate, and two weeks ago it was passed Dy tnat DouS
and returned to the House with certain amend
mepts During the last fortnight the bill mas siepI
IN the possession of the House Committee on ApprO
uriations. In the meantime, two other AppFopl'"'
zion bills have been reported to the House Dy UnaU
committee. aud one Of them, the Army bill, mas
been passed. Not a dollar Of the money appTopri-
ated by either of these bills can be used before
July.
At the beginning of this week, before the Indian
hill was reported to the House, the Appropriations
Committee agreed as to the course 1t would take
-a0ardiuQ the Senate amendments to the immediate
OeNciencv bill. There was no reason, therefore,
why il, instead Of the Indian Appropriation OIL,
sbould not have been reported to the House last
Tuesday, 1t is understood that the Republican
members of the Appropriations Committee have
done all they could to secure action on this BILL but
the majority of the committee sullenly refuse TO
bring it before the House. 1t appears that Char-
man Atkins is even determined that tho Deficiency

Teported and passed. This means that the marshas,
