A sURPRIsE PARITY.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Indian Com
missioner Hiram Price had surprise this
morning. Three runaway Indians from
the Chippewa tribe, Wisconsin, accompan-
led by an interpreter, all in paint and
feathers, entered his office and unceremo-
niously squatted for pow-wow. The
four arrived last night and went to the
fremont House announcing that they had
come to see the Great Father. They regis
tered as Ben New Mexico, interpreter.
Charles Contee, Mack Coon, and Scar
Bare Wrist The interpreter stated that
they represented 175 families who had
sent them to Washington in hopes of Sc
curing a new reservation. As this partic-
ular tribe is especially well provided for
and have more land in their present reser-
vation than they have actual use for, the
commissioner informed them that nothing
could be done for them and advised them
to return to their homes at once and earn
an honest living by cultivating the soil as

report was read and received A motion
was then made to consider it section BY
section, which was carried. One section
after another was read Several were
adopted unanimously, others by majority
vote, and others were not adopted at all
Every section was thoroughly and lengthily
discussed, .as it was not to be expected that
the report would satisfy all factions of the
association. 1t was noticed that every
man present had a grievance, or an objec-
ton to some part of the report Thus it
was difficult for the association to arrive
at.any definite conclusion.
The great stumbling block was the ques-
tion of territory. All present were in
favor as a matter of course, of forming a
new pool to Southwestern points, but
what territory should be included in the
association could not be easily settled
There are number of points west of the
Missouri River and south of Kansas City
that will necessarily be included in the
new pool, but the different railway combin-
ations that each one of these points can
aid in forming must first be decided upon.
The question of the admission of the
Illinois Central and the arrangement of the
Iowa pool interests will also have to be
considered before final action is taken.
An adjournment was taken until 10
o'clock this morning

| WASHINGTON, June 15.-The board OF
visitors appointed to attend the national
examination of the naval academy, Rear
| Admiral Rodgers. president, have submit
/ ted to the secretary of the navy their re
port. 1t says:
| ''In consideration of the great import
ance of seamanship, gunnery, and naviga-
| ton. the greatest possible weight should
be given them in determining the final
standing of the members of the several
classes. In the department of gunnery,
| only old and almost obsolete smooth bore
gune are provided for the instruction of
cadets. 1t seems absurd that the naval
cadets of this great country should eontin-
lie to be instructed in the methods and
means which the experience of the rest of
the rest of the naval world has laid aside
as things of the past. I've board recon-
mends that a suitable steam vessel of war,
armed Wi h rifled and smooth bore guns,
be provided, that gunnery may be taught
cadets from vessels under way, either I'M
der steam or sail, or both, and that in
structions in seamanship; in combination
with steam, may be practically taught.
The board submits as worthy of inquiry,
whether the standard could not be sup
ported in higher Interpretation by MAX
ing fifteen years the lowest age at which
cadet could be received, or whether the
standard might not be actually raised, even
if in order to this end it should be found
necessary to provide for a temporary sub
cadetship to ensure that those who enter
the prescribed course shall in no case be
deficient at the beginning In the opinion
of the board it is necessary that enough
cadets graduate from the naval academy
to make good the annual waste of the ma
w, and that Congress should by careful
legislation, provide against the accumula
ton of midshipmen and cadet engineers to
grow old in these inferior grades. to the
naval service, its discipline and its useful
ness. The present system seems to the
board very fruitful of evil.

A ROW AHEAD

TUseoN, Arizona June 15.-About three
weeks ago four Americans were killed near
Frintares, in Chihuhua, three of whom are
supposed to be COW boys. For the last
week COW boys have been concentrated
near Galeyville with the avowed purpose
of avenging the death of their comrades.
They threatened to take Frintares last
week Word was at once sent to the Mex
lean consul, who sent warning to the peo-
pie of Frintares and also notified the Mex
ican federal troops, of whom there are
goo stationed at San Bernardino ranch.
Yesterday morning, the COW boys, seventy
in number and well equipped, left Wilcox
for the purpose of carrying out their
threats, and it is believed there will be
bloody work ahead as they are the most
reckless band of desperadoes ever gathered
together. The Mexicans WITH either leave
the place or make hard fight. Frintarcs
is about sixty miles from Wilcox.

ALBANY INYEsTIGATIoN

ALBANY, June 15.-Upon reassembling
Bangs renewed his offer of Tribune arti-
cles to show, he said, Senator Sessions
career, and as presumptive evidence of the
truth of the charge here made. Finally,
however, he said he would not press the
offer the counsel of Sessions objecting to
the admission of the articles. Sessions was
then examined by Smith He said that he
could not give any conversation that took
place in Woodin's or Barber's rooms. Wit
ness here desired to say that he in all his
services about the Legislature never ap-
preached with money, or or offered money
to any member of the Legislature.
L. Coe Young, member of the Assem-
bly, from Broome testified: Edwards, q
LOBBYIST, conversed with me on the Sena-
torial question and expressed his preference
for Depew ] think he suggested that it
would be to my interest to vote for him.
He approached me in this building about
voting for Depew. He asked me to vote
for him that day; said that they wanted to
get good vote for him. I stated that ]
might sometime vote for Depew. He then
said it was all right end / would be well
treated.
After some further testimony of no
general interest, the committee adjourned
till tomorrow.
ALBANY, June 16-Before the investi-
eating committee William A. Grant, of the
firm of Spencer, Trask & Co, gave some
information as to Sessions stock specula-
tions, which he said were successful. On
June 7th Sessions account was closed by
the payment to him of Sc, ,616 in currency.
Witness gave him three one thousand dol
lar bills and three thousand in hundred
dollar bills. Sessions produced almost
the entire sum in court, and witness iden-
tilted as apparently the same bills he paid
Sessions. During the examination the
fact was developed that the witness
saw Sessions last night by accident. Wit
ness says that the case was discussed and
Sessions then produced the six thousand
from his pocket which witness examined
and identified as the same he paid Sessions
June 7th, and the same as were shown in
the committee to-day.
Assemblyman Bradley was recalled and
asked for the manuscript he wrote in the
room where he met speaker Sharp. Brad
ley handed it to counsel Bangs, who read
it aloud. It was the same as
he addressed to the assembly June 9th
when asking for an investigating commit
tee. He had no appointment with Sharpe

way; he has never asked me to vote for

friends are determined not to let his case

propose to make an argument to this effect
before the Judge Advocate General. Then
if he approves the finding of the court,
Whittaker's friends intend to 60 before the
