WASIIINGTON.


Editor Butte MINER:
The more we hear about the Ute Indian
business, the worse it appears. and the more
remote the possibility of peaceful settle
ment. The dispatches yesterday show that the
Indians are bent on war and mischief and
the bad faith with which they have treated
our agents indicates that severcr measures
will have to be adopted shortly. The people
of Colorado demand their removal beyond
the borders of that State. They suspect that
the Indians are preparing for general up
rising in the spring, and desire prompt action
to meet and head off this danger. 1t is prob
able that the whole Indian problem will be
overhauled by Congress this winter. Some
members who have been conservative Oh the
question heretofore are expressing very radi-
cal opinions about the tleatmant to be award
ed the savages who break treaties and murder
and outrage the whites at will. In connec-
ton with the present difficulties the whole
found that the sentiment in favor of dividing
up the Indian lands in severalty and abolish
ing reservations. including the Indian Terri
tory, has gained very rapidly of late.
The news from Maine still continues to be
the topic of interest. Although the fusion
lists appear to have got the advantage ON the
organization of the legislature there, the Re-
publicans say that they can do nothing be-
cause they have not a quorum IN the House.
1t is likely the Republicans will organize
another legislature, to include all the Repub-
licans retui ned as elected. whether holding
the Governors certificate or not, and several
of the fusion members who refuse to endorse
the counting out. This will give them a
large majority in both Houses and deprive
the Democrats of quorum in one branch,
the Senate, at least.
The Commissioners of Claims report that
the whole number of claims considered by
them since their last report is 2,29O Ofthese
only 553 were allowed, involving S241 900.
The amount disallowed was over $4,000; 900.
Senator Window has introduced bill to
create 4 new department of the government
to include affairs pertaining to agriculture
and commerce. This is very important
subject, and the Senator has studied it for
long time. Such Il department would be
more important than any other except the
Treasury, all the whole people will be inter-
ested in 1t. WILLIS.

Citizens Meeting.

The meeting called at Owslcy Hall last
night to take measures looking to the relief
of the distressed people of Ireland was
largely attended, and though the assembly
was composed principally of the natives Of
that unhappy country, all nationalities were
well represented, conclusively proving that
the sympathy for the unfortunate condition
of the Emerald Isle is by no means confined
to one class OF people.
On motion, Mayor Jacobs was elected
President of the meeting and Judge A. II.
Barrett was chosen Secretary. committee
on resolutions was appointed by the presiding
officer and pending its report the Mayor, in
brief speech, stated tie Object of the call for
meeting.
On repeated calls Mr.. X. G. Witter adj
dressed the assembly referring to the condi-
ton Of the Irish people and calling OH all
who were financially able to extend relief and
to do all in their power towards ameliorating
the desperate condition into which the people
of the Emerald Isle have been placed by the
policy of the British landlords. Mr.. f. L.
Mcbride next occupied the stand and III

Caught in the Act.

In Judge Barret's court yesterday morning
a man named Henry Clinton, who supports
also several aliases, was arragned charged
with stealing clothes to the value of one hum
dred and twenty-five dollars. 1t appeared
from the evidence that early yesterday morn
ing Mr.. GARNER, OF the Centennial hotel left
his room to go to breakfast, but having for
gotten some eggs which he intended for the
matutinal repast, retraced his steps to the
room for the purpose Of getting them. Ar
irving at his apartment he discovered it to be
locked but in some way found means to gain
entrance, when he behell Mr.. Clinton, alias
ST. Clair, in the act of appropriating all the
gents furnishing goods which the room con-
tanned. He had, with excellent good judg-
mcnt, selected a valuable oyelcoat, full suit
of clothes, an assortment of shirts, a hat a
pair of boots, and numerous other articles
which SO to make up gentleman's wardrobe.
All these he had securely tied up in the over
coat and was almost ready for departure
when his vlllainy was discovered. He was at
once arrested and all examination by Judge
BalTet resulted IN his being bound over in
the sum of $1,000 to appear in the District
Court. He will be sent to Deer Lodge.

A Favorable Showing.

The statement published in another column
relative to the condition of the Territorial
finances should be a subject for general con-
graduation and no county has better reason
to be gratifed than that of which Butte is
the principal city. The amount paid in rev.
enue to the Territory is a fair indicator of the
comparative amount of business transacted in
the different counties, and this being the
case, Deer Lodge makes by far the best show
ing. The amount of revenue received from
this county exceeds by over one thousand
dollars the amount paid in by Lewis and Clark
which claims to be the principal county of
the Territory in the amount of business
transacted. Nor is this the only point in our
favor, for whereas The increase in Lewis and
Clark county revenues is stated to be only
$1,1S7, the increase in Deer Lodge county is
$5,3sS. 1t thus appears that the business OF
thisicounty is rapidly increasing, much more
rapidly than that of any other section in the
Territory.
