THE HOUSE.
The Indian Appropriation Bill Taken l
and Discussed:

anu DIScuSSeu
WASHINGTON, April Mr. Dorsheimer pre-
scented a memorial from the bondholders of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company praying to
be heard before the committee on public lands
the bill declaring the forfeiture of land
granted, and asking Congress to protect their
interests Referred.
The House then went into committee of the
whole, Mr.. Wellborn in the chair, on the Indian
appropriation bill.
Mr.. Ellis briefly explained the provisions of
the bill He said there.was but little new legis
lation in the bill; but enc provision was incorpo-
rated appropriating So, 900 for the detection and
prosecution of men who suIrephtiously sell
whisky to the Indians. This he considered
very important feature of the bill,
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
Another item Of general legislation was one re
quiring each Indian agent to submit an annual
census of the Indians at his agency. This in
formation would prove of great value for future
appropriation committees in making provision
for schools and school-houses. He believed the
Indians should be given standing in courts, so
that they could enforce the performance of con
tracts, and that in the course of time they should
be raised to the dignity of citizenship. The In
dams at present did not feel any interest in the
government, and he did not wonder at it. after a
hundred years of dishonor which had character
lied its action toward them.
Mr.. Throckmorton argued in favor of giving
the five civilized nations territorial govern
ment and a delegate in the House, and
granting land in severalty to the heads
of families in other tribes, and giving them
patent to the same when they showed DISPOSE
ton to remain ON the land and cultivate it.
The bill was read by paragraphs for amend
ment.
Mr.. Throckmorton offered an amendment strik
ing ont the clause appropriating 81. 800 for the
pay of five Indian inspectors, and inserting a
proviso that the Secretary of War shall detail
five officers, not under the grade Of captain in
the army, as Indian inspectors.
The committee rose, and Mr.. Randall said
I'VE have the honor Of having with us on the
floor day General Grant. ! think we should
do ourselves honor by taking a recess of fifteen
minutes to give members an opportunity of shak-
ing him by the hand" Applause.
Recess having been taken by unanimous vote
Speaker Carlisle escorted General Grant to the
space in front of the Clerks desk where lean
ing on one of his crutches he received the re
spects of the members the Speaker standing by
his side and introducing to him representatives
with whom he had not been previously ac-
quaintcd
When the House reassembled the Speaker
laid before it a message from the President
recommending an appropriation Of 800, 900 for
the protection of levees Of the lower Mississippi
river Adjourned

A Shippers views of the Situation.

The trunk-line presidents seem to be taking no
steps to raise freight rates again. and the season
of navigation opening soon will make any adj
vance of the less Importance. AT the same time
reports of earnings are, when analysed, rather
blue in character. The coal roads are surely
losing money, and have not only reduced the
prices of coal below the figures of last spring
but have made reductions in tolls as WELL and
curtailed expenses by dischargingmen, and the re
ducing of wages is now the hobby railroad man
agements have adopted. A. shipper yesterday
speaking of the situation, said there is not
sensible shipper in the West who would
not rather pay rate which would give
the railroad companies reasonable com
pensation and enable them to operate
their roads without disehargng men or
cutting down wages of those continued in their
service. He then went on to say that the pros
perity of the country depended largely on the
prosperity of the railroads, as through them so
many industries were kept in operation En-
ployes of the railroads and the steel and iron
mills were large consumers, and when they were
out of work or working on low wages, they
practiced great economy, consumption decreased
and all branches of business were more or less
affected. Therefore, it was evident, he said,
that it was better for the shippers, as well as for
the railroads, that property should be carried at
paying rates; and in a general summing up he
could not see that any parties, except the bears
railroad stock were benefited by the roads
carrying freight at non paying rates.

FOrd's Position Regarding the Outside
Offices.

E. A. Fard, general passenger agent of the
lines of the Pennsylvania company west of Pitts
burg says emphatically that they will not sell
tickets at their outside Office, no matter what
others do. He thinks the citizens of In
dianapolis are better accommodated with
the Union railway ticket Office up town
than they would be were each road to have an
outside Office at which tickets were sold At the
Union ticket Office tickets were to be obtained over
every route, the party having a choice of route,
the ticket agents naming the different routes
impartially. The expenses of outside Offices
where tickets are sold are large, and while the
people ofIndanapolis were so we'll accommodated
by the uptown ticket Office, he could see no
good reason for asking the Pennsylvania com
pany or the Vandalia people to incur such ex-
penses Were there union ticketofice, he
would think and act differently in the matter,
doubtless. He thought the management of no
road could now complain that either at the
Union Depot or the up town ticketofice there
was favoritism shown by the ticket agents to any
road or any system of roads

tinued.
WAsHrNGToN. April 2-The CHAIR laid before
the Senate the credentials of Henry B. Payne
senator elect from Ohio. These credentials We're
transmitted owing to the infolmaity of the ere
dentals fist presented.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Call was referred
to the committee on f., eign relations, requesting
the President to institute negotiations with the
government of the King of spain Tor reference
to an umpire for decision the question Whether
the treaty of 1919 has been fully carried into
effect by the United States and whether the
United States government is bound in good faith
TO pay the full amounts awarded by the judicial
tribunals, to whom the same was referred, for
payment for losses sustained from the forces act
ing under orders of the United States III 1878
and 1919.
The Senate passed a bill referring TO the
Court of Chains the claim of Vim. G. Ford, Of
Memphis for the proceeds of fifty bales of cot
ton. seized by the United States i'll Alabama In
1869
Also. bill directing the Secretary Of the
Treasury to refund to John p Walworth -. $50,
the proceeds Of the sale. by order of Cen. Banks,
of certain funds of the Louisiana Bank, at New
Orleans i'll 1863
Also bill to increase the efficiency of the Gen
eral Land Office.
Also Mr. Morrill's bill for the improvement Of
coinage.
The education bill was taken up and NIr.
George maintained that, as Congress had au-
thority to levy taxes for the general welfare. it
must also have authority to cxpend those taxes
for the general welfare. 1t would not help the
general welfare to have the money collected
merely to have it stored away in the treasury.
The Constitution did not contemplate making
Congress powerful enough to collect money, yet
impotent to disburse it,
Mr.. George cited instances of appropriations
made in the early history of the United States,
as well as appropriations Of recent date, such as
a gift of $500 600 in 1852 to the sufferers from
overflow of the Mississippi river and $500 600 re-
Gently to the sufferers from the overflow of the
Ohio river. The objection that taxes could only
be levied for purposes of public use could be no
valid objection to this bill because the object of
the bill, in Mr.. Georges opinion, was to serve a
public need of the most urgent character. The
general welfare clause, he said was the animal
ing spirit Of every clause of the Constitution,
and was to be read between the lines all the
way through that document
After executive session the Senate adjourned.

oiIipo tbe Troubled Waters.

The patented system by which Mr..
Shields, of Perth, smoothes the brok-
en- surface of the sea, has been tried
at the entrance of Folkestone harbor.
The chairman and directors of the
railway have granted
the use of their pier to Mr.. Shields
for his experiments. On the eastern
side of the pier, where the entrance
to the harbor is situated, a leaden
pipe q thousand feet in length has al
ready been laid along the bottom OF
the sea. The pipe is furnished with a
series of iron branches about two feet
in length and some 70 feet apart.
Each branch terminates in valve
and brass rose like that of watering
pot. The main leaden pipe is con-
nected at its shore end with a force
pump placed on the pier. By means
of the force pump oil is driven
| through the leaden pipe and out of
the small perforatlons in the roses.
The oil then rises in minute globules
to the surface, and rapidly spreads
over wide area. One morning re-
Gently brisk easterly breeze and a
strong tide made it rough enough to
cause some hesitation as to sending
the patentee's steam barge out of the
harbor. For the first time, therefore,
the virtues of the apparatus were test
ed. Some fifteen or twenty gallons
of the cheapest rock oil,-sixpence g
gallon,-was speedily pumped into
the troubled waters. The effect was
magical. In half an hour there was
not sign of broken water between
the pier head and Copt Point. The
barge came off to the western side o.
the pier in smooth water. A curiou:
fact was the permanence of the re
suit obtained. Though very strong
tide was running TO the eastward, We

original position for fully two hours

JAMES NUTT RELEAsED.-Iheh hear
ing as to James Nuts present mental
condition took place at Pittsburgh
Wednesday, before Judge Stowe, and
resulted in the prisoners release. Doc
tors Wyile, Beatty, Heron, and Christy,
were examined, and all agreed that at
the present time Mutt was of sound
mind and fully responsible, and thought
that it would be perfectly safe to re-
store him to liberty. He was then
discharged, and, after receiving the
congratulations of those present, re-
paired to Major Browns office, where
his mother, sister, and other relatives
had gathered to receive him. On the
@av he was rendered a perfect ovation.
Hundreds of people followed in front
of and behind him. Old men patted
him on the back, women crowded
around him, and children pushed and
showed to get look at the boy made
famous by the great trial. The scene
at Major Browns Office was very
affecting. His mother and sister wept
bitterly as they threw their arms
around him, and the JOY they expressed
seemed to know no bounds. A num-
Der of the jurors who sat in judgment
on Mutt were admitted and shook his
hand warmly, one remarking, Jimmy,
if they do anything to you in Fayette
send them down and we will see to
them" BY this time the crowd on the
outside was so large that it was found
necessary to cali officers to clear the
streets. The family have returned to
their home at Uniontown, where
James will be rendered reception.
