of hearing Secretary Sohurz III explanation
ot the details of the agreement which he
has entered into with the Ute Indians of
Colorado subject TO its ratification by
Congress The Secretary after explaining
the features of the agreement and setting
forth its advantages trcm various points
Of view submitted the draft of bill to
carry it into effect. which the committee
will consider at a future meeting. The
till proposes to appropriate IN perpetuity
$50 900 year as the interest at the rate
ut per cent per annum upon the amount
OF $3l ,250 900 stipulated as the consiGera
ton for the REIMBURSEMENT of the Utes'
reservation, and also to continue to appro-
pirate the present annuity of $25 900 per
year. The $75, 900 thus provided for each
year to be divided among the Utes per
capita. The bill further proposes to
appropriate $400 year for distribution
among the most deserving of the Utes
and 5 900 per annum to continue Ouray' 8
present annuity for a term of thirteen
years from the present time. 1t is also
proposed to appropriate $780, 900 for the

sary authority for the allotment of lands

George Jones. of the New York Times
and Err 9 us Brooks, Of the Express, made
| arguments to-day before the Ways and
! MeaGs Com mmittee for the removal of the
| duty OF 30 per cent imposed on wood puin.
| They claimed it was owing to an advance
of from % to so per cent 10 the price of
pulps and a combination of paper manu-
| tacturers, chiefly in the west, that the
price of paper had advanced from 53(G6
cents per pound, the price last year, 93(0
| 10 cents now charged. 1t was elaine, .
that it was the combination of paper
makers that forced the price of paper TO
| 26G28 cents per pound during the war
| that had now caused an advance of above
| so per cent and that if no restrictions were
placed upon them they might force the
price even to war figures. Manufactur
ers present denied the existence Of such
com bination, claiming that supply aad
| demand alone caused the advance.
I Secretary Sherman read iu the cabinet
to-day an opinion on hoop iron, taking the
ground that the admission of cut hoops at
an ad valorem duty OF 35 per cent is q
violation of the intent of the law. bat as
complications may arise through pur-
| chases made with different understand
ing of the law Congress should act on the
| matter, pending which former ruling of
the department which the Secretary con-
siders erroneous will be legal.

SENATE,

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The calendar
was consi cred. The bill for certain
buildings 10 Denver was being discussed
when the morning hour expired.
MIR. Alison demanded the regular order
the fortifction bill. The Senate com
mittee reported amendment increasing
the amount to 1925 900. Discussion en-
sued on the amendments.
MIR. Beck criticised the bill as inad
equate. but said it wasI not possible to
protect our sea coast all at once. 1t was
now utterly defenseless, but more should
be done in view of the possible compilca-
tion in connection with the Monroe doc
trlne. and the protection of American
railroads through Mexico, He would
personally vote for the expenditure of
$50,000.000 or 100000. 900 for our
defense.
Mr.. Wallace thought il strange for the
government to change its policy and go to
manufacturing large guns just as iron had
risen so largely.
After considerable discussion as to
frauds and imperfect work in connection
with iron clad buildings, sam mendments in
creaslng the amount for cannon were
agreed TO. Al to II, and the bill passed.
Mr.. Kellogg denounced the assertion
that he was responsible for the charges
OF Jessie Raymond against Senator Hill
and asked an investigation.
MIR. sThurman aconsldered it a degra-
datlon that the Senate must take notice
of every newspaper scandal and said he
would vote to table the matter for ever.
The Star route deficiency bill was taken
up.
On motion of Mr.. Wallace. adjourned
till Monday.
WASHINGTON. March I2.-Mr, Mona
hon said the bill made no appropriations
for special deputy marshals and he doubt
ed if such appropriations would ever be
made by the Democrats He asked why
the expenses of the printing Office were
greater this year than any year since
1875,
Mr.. Conger-The extra session.
Mr.. McMahon-It was partly due to
that and partly to the increased cost of
paper, but chiefly to the large number of
employees
MIR. Hiscock said, respecting Mr.. Me-
Mahon' 8 inslnuation, that whatever steal
ing there might have been, had been un
der the house committee on printing, not
under the public printer. whom he defend
ed as honest and economical. He was
surprised at Mr. McMahon's declaration
that the Democrats did not propose to
obey the deci ,ion OF the supreme court
aud appropriate for special deputy mar
shals. He alluded to similar issue rails
ed by the last congress of starving the
government to repeal the election laws
On that issue Mr.. Foster had beaten Mr.
Ewing, and Mr.. Garfield had been elevst-
ed in Ohio. He believed the Democracy
would inevitably appropriate the pay of
special deputies.
Mr.. Finley also attacked the printing
office as extravagant, and said that Frank
lin Reeves offered to take the printing
office, do all the printing for ninety per
cent. of the present cost, pay 100000
rent, and make 1925 900 by the transac
ton.
Bills were introduced BY Mr.. Scales, to
accept aud ratify the agreement submitted
by the Utes for the sale of Colorado lands
and appropriating $38 900.
