a Party OF Yomng savages ai scho

An Albuquerque (N.M.) letter says:
Twenty.four boys and three girls were
received on the 10th inst, at the Albu-
querque Indian school from the Ute
reservation in Colorado Their agent,
Major Warren Patten. after much per-
suasion, prevailed upon the chiefs to
allow their children to go from home.
He took them to Pueblo, Col, where
they discarded their blankets and moe
casins and donned civilized dress.
When they arrived at the school the
eighty Pueblo children there being
taught regarded them with open eyed
wonder They, however, settled into
their new life with ease and confidence.
After their first meal, however, the
restraints Of the dining room seemed
too much for them, aud upon reaching
the open air they iudulged in a success
SION OF war whoops which startled con-
siderably the mild hammered Pueblos.
In the afternoon they regaled the visit
ing Kansas editors with genuine war
dance.
While waiting for the train at the
depot in Ignacio. Col. the mothers of
the boys became tired and sought di-
version by sitting down on the plat
form and gambling with cards. At
last the train arrived. but they'were so
much interested in the game that the
boys got on without bidding their
mothers good bye. and the infatuated
women did not even look up from their
game as the train moved off with their
offspring
The children come from a perfectly
pure blooded wild as the primi-
tive savage. Their people live in te-
pees, and wander over the reservation
as caprice dictates. They have come
but little in contact with civilization,
and have never been so far from home.
Of schools and school life they know
absolutely nothing. They are bright,
manly looking fellows. and their prog
ress will be watched with interest.
Three chiefs who accompanied them
looked on with great interest as the
massive braids were cut from the boys
heads, and both the boys and their
chiefs laughed boisterously as each of
the boys came from the BARRIERS hands

THE MISSISSIPPI Question:
Interesting Testimony of Captain

In the Burrows committee yesterday Captain
Sears, U. s. A., executive officer of the Missls-
sippi River Commission, continued his testl-
mony. Captain Sears said that at the meeting
of the commission, ut which S1,300,000 was
appropriated for levees, there were present
Representatives Of Ark6hsas Mississippi and
Louisiana.
"Did the representatives make any prom

"That Is ALL" said Mr.. Burrows. MI. Ellis

nothing important.

If the river could be cODfued within narrow

other business to be considered is the com

conceded that this act will be defeated in

THE BAILEY COMMITTEE
And the Peculiar Way in which
Speaker Keifer Formed il.

on page 237 of Barclays Digest the follow
ing appears:
"a select committee is created either by res.
olution, whom resolutions are in order, or upon
motion to refer,when the subject to be referred
is before the House; the number of which
1t is 10 consist being designated in the reso'
luton or motion"
Under Parliamentary Law Manual pages 113
and la, "None who speak directly against the
bill are to be of the committee to which 1t Is
referred. The spirit of this law has prevailed
In the House so far as that, in the formation
OF select committee, in the case of the refer
ence Of bill, majority of the friends of the
measure referred, and In the case of an IN
vestgation, majority of those favorable to
the proposed investigation are usually ap-
pointed thereon; and the member proposing
the select committee Is usually appointed the
chairman"-Barclay.
When Mr. Klotz arose iuehis seat recently
and made charges against John Bailey, the
chief clerk Of the Clerks offlce OF tho House
and the legislative agent of that corrupt mo-
nopoly, the Washington Gas Company, Mr..
Murch, OF Maine, drew up n resolution pro-
yiding for the appointment OF committee OF
i've members for the Investigation OF the
charges preferred by Mr.. KlOtz. The resolu-
tion was adopted, and the Speaker, with the
rule Of precedent as set forth by Barclay, ap.
pointed a committee, as follows: Richard
L. l.. Martin, of Delaware; William II. Cox, OF
Ohio; William Aldrlch, of Illinois.
This action shows upon Its face that Speaker
Keifer must have had some object In view
when he appointed the committee. II is tho
first time ON record that an Investigating com
mittee has been appointed by Speaker with
out the member making the charges or tho
member moving the appointment OF an lnves-
tgating committee have not been made n
member Of such committee. There can bo
but two constructions put upon the Speakers
actions. ono Ia that he is thoroughly ignorant
of the rules of the House; the other IA that he
has been thoroughly corrupt in HIS making up
ot the committee. Mr. Keller should be luves'
tgated and his true reasons or motives for
thus forming the gas investigation committee.
