SENAXGs ....
WASHINGTON, April 6.-Ths SEN
ate resumed the conideration of the
Naval appropriation bill and the
president continued his remarks.
Vest made the point that the de-
cline in our shipping did not, as is
generally supposed, begin with our
civil war, but began wears before.
1t declined nearly l63 per cent, be-
tween 1910 and 1860. American ship
owners should be permitted to buy
ships wherever they might choose,
but this Was not the only thing. He
would reform the whole protective
American marine. . -... .4.. ...
Mcpherson said while the govern
ment persisted In keepieg the pres
ent secretarys Of the navy 1t couldn't
wonder at the lack of. confidence in
the Navy Department. -af IT,
Halo defended the Secretary.
Vest said the secretary was ~unduly
Influenced by party bias, but in re-
ply to Hale admitted he couldn't put
his finger upon any one act of the Of
fcer's administration that would
subject him to criticism Vest ar.
raigned the Republican party as re.
spensible for the uselessness of the
American navy.
Hale said during the past twelve
years the Democrats had control of
the House half the time and the Sem
ate part of the time. ,.
Vest replied they had a little sport
in the Senate and House for about
three months. ..,-
Beck said the records of naval ex-
penditurs for the last twenty years
would prove rOttenness and cOrrup-
tion in the administration of funds.
Edmunds stated that he had been
much interested in the accounts given
in the Senate OF the f1Ourishing con-
ditiOn Of the navy before the war.
He read letter from James Buchan-.
an, dated September '53, addressed to
Hon. H. Wise, Virginia, in which he
said: I'VE Americans boasted much
of our navy but what was it in COM
garrison with the navy of England or
France. Suppose these powers should
determine to prevent the U. s. from
interfering in Cuba In case the time
should arrive when we ought to in
terfere. They had the naval power
to carry out their determination.
We should at least have
navy enough to defend our own
coast. Buchanan further recon-
mended that part of the surplus In
The Treasury be expended in the con-
siruction OF a navy. .....
Edmunds said that was all the Sem
ate wanted to do. Buchanan had
also expressed the conviction that
the work had better be put out under
contract Which Edmunds added was
what was proposed in this instance.

ing the purchasers from the railroad
company as though they were purchaser.
from the government. Members of the
committee say that about three million
five hundred thousand acres along the

MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS.

Mani,oba's Rebelli.us Indians.

Winnipeg, special telegram. Feb. 25--
The report of battle between Indians
and police on the Crooked Lake reserve,
turns out to be untrue. The people of
Broadview are, however, badly scared by
the outbreak. They are in terror Of
Yellow Calf and his warriors coming into
town. It is said that another band will

ter Reed, administrator for the govern.
ment during the absence of Lieutenant
Governor Dewdney. arrived at Broad
view Sunday afternoon by special
train. and proceeded to the
reserve in hope OF bringing
about an amicable settlement. It is
probable that he will be successful. The
rebellion at File Hills was quelled this
morning, when Gopher Tom, leader of
the redskins, was made prisoner, which
so demoralized the rebels that they threw
down their arms and gave themselves up.
A telegram just received here says that
after q struggle this afternoon Yellow
Calf was taken prisoner, with many of
his warriors, by Col. Herchmer and po.
lice. No particulars can be learned. This
will end the rebellion.

that for the peace of the country he did

A Mysterious Bin,


Fargo, Feb. 1s-Thetgrsnd Jury was
discharged on Saturday evening, after
having found one bill of indictment
which was not made public, for pruden.
tial reasons. 1t is supposed however, on
what is believed to be good ground, that
this bill is the result OF the capital com.
mission Investigations. The grand
jury unanimously sign con.
tradiction of Ordway's statement
that Asst. DISTRICT Attorney Palmer wat
under investigation and Judge Camp
bell emphstically gives Gov. Ordway the
lie about any bargain between the judge
aud Palmer. Whether the bill is against
the capital commissioners or the Cover
nor himself, is lett to conjecture. 1t il
claimed by some that the governor
alone is amenable to the U. s. laws.
