STANDS A POOR CHANCE.
The Senate Bill For Improvement Of the Mississippi
Net Likely to Pass the

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Special to
Pioneer-Press: 1t is now expected that
the river and harbor appropriation bill
will be reported back 10 the house early
next week, Exclusive of appropriations
for the Mississippi river, the allowance
for carrying on other works of improve
ment in rivers and harbors will be about
the same as was provided in last YEAR )
bill, which. it will be remembered. an
propriated in the aggregate about Sill
100000. For the Mississippi river the
committee provides appropriations for
just what was estimated and recon-
mended by the Mississippi river COM
mission. Members of the house COM
mitttee have no idea that the house
will pass the bill, which came from the
senate few days ago. apprepriating
$4,000, 900 for the improvement of the
navigation OF the Mississippi and Miss
ouri rivers. On the contrary, that bill
will be left untouched and the river and
harbor bill will provide appropriations
in accordance. with the. recommends
tons. plans, specifications and estimates
of the river commission.
For the construction. repair and COM
pletioI and preservation of certain
works on the Mississippi river between
the mouth of the Ohio river and the
mouth of the Mississippi river, "a,
$4,000.
For continuing improvements on the
Mississippi river between the mouth of
the Ohio and the Illinois river in Illinois
and Missouri, 81 900, 900.
! For continuing improvements to the
Mississippi river between the mouth Of
the Illinois river and the Des Moines
rapids in Illinois and Missouri, $780,
600.
To continuing improvements in the
Mississippi river between Des Moines
rapids and St. Paul, in Minnesota, Iowa,
Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin, $780,
900. pa
These four specified appropriations
aggregate $6.S63, 900, or 1865, 900
more for the Mississippithan is provided
in the senate bill. At the same time
the Missouri river is to receive liberal
appropriations. Members of the house
argue that to pass a bin for the improve
ment of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers as separate measure would be
likely to cause the defeat of the river
and harbor bill by reason of lack of
enough votes in congress or by the pres
ident's veto lal 1as i'' aH

Fighting the Feds.

LoBDsBURG, April 29.-Solowan Of
San Inman sent special messenger on
the night of Tuesday lie 7tb, to Guth-
rie's ranch, requested him to notify per-
sons on the Gila river that 500 White
Mountain Apaches had broken out from
San Carlos and were heading for the
CHA. A son of Capt Lawson, who was
recently killed by Indians at Gold Gulch
arrived at Guthrie's yesterday with a
dispatch of a similar tenol. There are
over thirty men at Guthrie's thoroughly
we'll fortified. A good force. well forti-
fed, is also located at Lightfoot rancho
half mile below Guthrie, and prepara-
tons for vigorous defense are being
made all along the river. The great
want is sufficient supply of arms and
ammunition.

Improving the National Credit.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 1.-The
public debt reduction during the past
month was over $4,000, 900, making
the total reduction for the ten months Of
the fiscal year about $4,000, 600. or
nearly double that of the corresponding
months last year. 1t would have been
greater bat for the decreased internal
revenue receipts, caused by the agita-
tisn of the whiskey-tax question.

RALEIGH, n. c., special to Nil Sun
day Telegraph: The Mormons who are
working in the western part of this state
are also devoting their attention to max.

There are several Mormon elders, as
they call themselves, holding secret
meetings in Pitt and other counties and
they are making converts. but not rap
idly. AS soon as converts are made
they are baptized and sent to Utah.
Several families have just departed for
that Territory, and considerable excite
ment prevails. Ii is probable that ef-
forts will be made to drive the Mormon
teachers from the state.

Complaint is made by the Indian com
missioner that the contractors at the In
dian reservations, notably Standing
Rock, with that touching regard for the
rights of others that has made their
name so beloved among all classes, have
been appropriating hay and wood for
their own use without so much as by
your leave. What remains is appro-
priated by the military. OF course these
parties are severally ard collectively
inspired with desire to impress the
lazy red man with sense of the power
of their great father which protects his
white children in their task of robbing
the red on every convenient oppor-
tunity. The fact that by treaty rights
they are entitled to the reservation and
everything on it may possibly be assum-
ed as an argument why such appropria-
ton is wrong, in the minds of the none
too careful savages. 1t is possible that
they may also object On the ground that
contractors and troops can move else
where when forage upon the reservation
is exhausted while the red brother must
sit on his launches within the surveyed
limits of his territory without anything
but government rations between him
and starvation. Undoubtedly all this is
inducive of peaceful and highly religi-
Gus frame of mind on the part of the
Indian He will take it in good
part and as be shivers without fire or
notices q growing thinness in the few
ponies Uncle Sam has left him he will
begin to appreciate the grandeur and
Importance of q government that corrals
mass of helpless women and children
with due proportion of unarmed bucks
red though they may be in the most
convenient shape for the hand of the
contractor.

"They come to England in herds /;
they work for lower wages; their con-
ception of mercantile honor is lower;
they grow rich at the cost of English
men, amassing in a short time large
fortunes, The Germans that come to
England in extreme poverty. return to
their country rich. They sell at lower
prices, they overreach us. and at the
same time they rail at the country that

Attempts have been made recently in
York to introduce Nihilistic practices
into this country. Cyrus w. Field, VIM
Vanderbilt and John A. Davenport, have
been respectively made the victims of a
dynamite plot, the object of which was
to destroy their houses by Internal ma
chimes and supposedly include the in
mates in the destruction. If the sneak
ing, cowardly assassins can be found, a
little rough western justice would be an
excellent medicine for their disease. No
punishment can be brought that will be
too severe or too speedy for this class
of criminals. BY their infamous prac-
tees they put themselves outside the pale
of human sympathy and should be serv-
ed with short shrift to the end that this
noxious plant of foreign growth be ex-
tinguished before it has time to sow its
damnable seeds through that lower strata
of society, which already reflects on its
putrid bosom the skinny features of
anarchy and lawlessness, whenever the
occasion serves.
