AN APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT FOR THE PRoTEC-
TON or OURAY. COLORADO, FROM THE INDIANS
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBuNH.l
WAsurNGroN. Feb Ex-Governor Pitkln, of
Colorado, accompanied by the delegation III
Congress from his State. had extended
interview with the President this morning
in relation 10 the unprotected condition OF the
white settlers in the town of Ouray. Governor
Pitkin presented petitions from the people of the
exposed section for troops and also presented ms
own written opinion III regard to the question. The
subject was brought before the Cabinet to-day,
and was fully discussed
The situation of affairs was described to be as
follows The town of Ouray IS IN that portion of
Colorado known as the Uncompahgrc Park. IL is
surrounded upon all sides except the north by
mountains which are impossible for troops or sup
plies at this season of the year. On the north, a
few miles distant, is the border Of the Ute Reserva
ton; and through the reservation runs the only
road by which these people can be reached. Los
Pnos the headquarters OF Ouray's Indians and the
present camping ground of large number of the
White River Utes, lies exactly upon the road which
troops and supplies must take to reach the settlers
in the Park The Ute outbreak last Fall served to
prevent them from getting in supplies for the Win
Ter and they now represented as being threat
ened not only with of determination with
the outnumbering Ctes, but also with starvation.
The President and several members of the
Cabinet appeared anxious to afford relief. but Secrc
tary Schurz asked that nothing be done until he
could hear from General Adams, which he hoped to
do by Monday. The whole subject was referred TO
the General of the Army, TO report upon the pTac-
ticabihty of sending troops and supplies to these
IL Is feared by the President tNat any movement
OF troops by way of Los PinOs will result IN another
affair like that OF White River, ana that the meas
ures taken to protect the settlers will be the means
of their destruction.

by a TRIBUNE reporter some questions as to his re-
cent observations

MEN.
Below will be found the result, so far as it
has yet been obtained of canvass of all the
Republican Committeeman, county and town
ship, of Pennsylvania, as to their first and
second choice for President. These first
replies to circular sent out by
THE TRIBUNE show an overwhelming pref
erence for Senator Blaine. who is the
first choice of 2I6 out of 265 committee
men whose responses have thus far been re-
ceived. Over 1000, however, are yet to be
heard from.
SENATOR BLAINES LONG LEAD.
THE FIRST CHOICE OF 216 OUT OF 2G7 ACTIVE
WORKING REPUBLICANS
Immediately after the disputed aud indecislve re-
suit of the Harrisburg Convention, The TRIBUNE
determined to ascertain what the real choice
OF Pennsylvania for the Presidency was. The trouble
with ordinary canvasses is that there is no
certainty that the men whose opinions
are asked are really representative men.
To avoid this it was resolved to get an
expression direct from the men whom the
Republicans in each locality had put upon
their local committees. Under the Cameron
domination it was presumed that these
would naturally be mainly Cameron men,
Nevertheless they are necessarily the active
representative Republicans of their respect
i've localities; and it was clear that their
choice would be that of the working party
organization; while their number embracing COM
mltteemen in every township in every county
in the State), made it reasonably GER
tain that the response would give
a fair key to the general spontaneous sentiment of
the State and preclude the possibility of a mere
clique utterance. There are about 1900 of these
committeeman throughout the State An official
list of them was secured and TO each one the follow
ing circular sent:

The Washington Monument.

In 1876 Congress appropriated $780,
600 toward the construction of the
Washington monument. Half this sum
has been used in strengthening the foun-
dation. The balance of the appropria-
tion will be used this season in procuring
machinery and materials. The Republic
says it is now estimated that twelve
feet will be added 10 the present height
by September l, and that this slightly
increased altitude will exhaust tn
funds. This patriotic pile presents
strange contrasts for our consideration.
For seveniy-seven years, OF from 1899 to
1876, not one dollar was appropriated
by government for this work, and now
it has taken four years and 100000 to
gain q dozen feet! Upward of $4,000
foot is doing very we'll indeed, and we
only have this dozen feet in anticipa-
ton. The monument is la feet in
height ut present; the plan is that the
completed shaft shall rise to an eleva-
tion of 500 feet, surmounted with an
iron roof twenty-five feet high. -New
