SOME PAssARLE INDIANS.

The idea that there is good Indian but a dead one is rapidly dying. General Crooks recent report concerning the peaceful and in dustrious Apaches has done much to call at tention to the real character of the Indian and now General Milroy, in Washington territory, who has treated the Indians under his care rationally, intelligently and humane ly, makes very encouraging and instructive report of what he has accomplished in the political education of his changes He tried at first to decide their frequent controversies himself, but finding that it occupied too much of his time he called council and told them they must learn to settle their own disputes, and for that purpose he would make five districts and let them elect mag istrate in each He arranged the districts, explained to them the process of voting by ballots of different colors contrived by him, and when the Indian judge was elected he was instructed by the general They tried their cases very inteIligently, General Mi1roy says. The further progress of his experi- ment is further described in his own words: Then, to secure right of appeal, ap- pointed three judges, the most intelligent could find. At first the court of appeal held l three terms year afterwards reduced to | two. The judges wanted to know what their 1 salaries would be; they wouldn't serve with out pay; white judges had pay. had noth- 1 ing to pay with, but fixed their salaries at $3 a day. But after while they struck for $5 To meet that exigency devised system of

RAILROAD POSTAL ROUTES.
RecOmm endatiOns of the Committee for the
improvement of the Same.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The Postmaster gen
eral has sent to Congress the report of the COM
mittee appointed to prepare an improved plan
for carrying the mails on railroad routes The
committee was composed of General Richard A.
Elmer, Second Assistant Postmaster general; W.
B. Thompson, General Superintendent of the
Railway Mail Service, and Isaac G. Slater, Su-
perintendent of Railway Adjustment. The com
mittee find that each decade has witnessed a
doubling of the service, and if the present rates
of increase and pay are maintained the year 1900
will see a service by rail of at least 10000
miles, with an annual cost of $25, 900,
900. When the system of weighing mails
was first established, in 1867, most

the matter of compensation. At that time the
mails were generally carried in baggage cars. 1t
was found that on fifteen lines receiving pay of
5000 per mile daily, the service ranged from an
average of more than 10000 pounds on one line,
to less than 400 pounds on another that is, one

A Quarrel with a Gas Company.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Jan. 1.-The action of the Com
mon Council, at a meeting held last evening. in
refusing to enter into new contract with the
Anderson Gas Company for lighting the streets
of the city, is an'absorbing topic of conversation
The stipulations of the contract that expired on
the night of Dee. 81 were that for the sum of
$3.50 per year for each post the company would
light the streets of the city until u o'clock at
night, Philadelphia lunar time, the contract be-
ing for period of three years. 1t also fixed
price an excess of which would not be charged
private consumers. The demands of the COM
pany now are for 500 per post and a four years
contract, and nothing is promised regarding the
price to be charged individual consumers. The
vote in the Council was unanimous to reject the
proposition, for the double reason that the time
is too long and the price too high In vndica-
ton of their action the company say that if they
furnish light for the city they will be compelled
to enlarge their capacity, and in consequence,
will have to move their works to the outskirts Of
the city, involving expense of at least $4,000,
and if they do not supply the city their present
facilities are sufficient for the demand
The members of the Council have taken a de-
cided stand against the raise and are backed by
"a large majority of the citizens. The gas COM
pany. too, is seemingly firm in its demands. and
upon the action of the Council have to-day taken

available source of light at hand, the streets Of
the city, for the present, at least, will go I'M

Richmond relative to the cost of the Brush cleo

reader would be led to regard the town as being
made up of transient hordes of bandits. But the
impression is a false one. We have a town of
1000 inhabitants, an excellent school, fc;ir
churches, good Sabbath schools etc. But like
every important place, it has few ''cranks,"
and a very small amount of this goes>a great
way. These cranks generally belong to the
compromise companies, viz: "The bottle fill

company could not exist without the latter and
the latter are very 10th to venture upon a life
without the former. But our town is of vast inn,

MIR. HEWITT AND THE TARIFF.

The Extremists Have a Majority Without the

WASHINGTON, Jan. lit was not expected by
the Democrats, when Mr.. Hewitts name was an
nounced on the ways and means committee, that
he would act, except to a limited extent, with his

Morrison expresses entire confidence that

London Letter.
The project of flooding the Sahara, and thus
opening up Central Africa to commerce and civ
ilization, appears to be reviving--the opinion
still being urged by geographers and engineers
that, if the water of the ocean could thus be let
into that desert the climate, the soil, and the
sanitary condition would all be improved.
Though nearly two-thirds as large as Europe,
and containing some 200 GOO 900 inhabitants. the
only means of communication with the rest of
the world lies in the caravan tracks In the
Sahara desert there is a remarkable depression
covering an area of about CO. 600 miles, this de-
pressed portion being known as Ehjuf, and said
to extend from within twelve miles of the sea-
shore to regions in the close neighborhood of
Timbuctoo. The theory of both ancient and
modern geographers has been that Eliiuf was
originally filed with water, which flowed into
the ocean, but that, bar having gradually
formed at the entrance, the flow inward was
stopped, and the heat of vertical sun caused
the inside water to evaporate. The practicablity
of reopening this ancient channel is the great
question

in favor of the defendant
Yesterday T. B. Adams, for the defense asked
the court TO so arrange the order of the speakers
that they would come alternately, first a speaker
for the State and then one for the Defense the
State to close. The court to-day arranged
the order so that Mr. Love would
be required not only to answer
D. L. Wilson, but also to anticipate and answer
the closing speech of Judge Glessner for the
State. This order threw E. K. Adams and T. B.
Adams together, to follow A. F. Wray, and was
regarded by the attorneys for the defense as UNI
fair to Kennedy
Judge Hord this morning refused to deliver to
the attorneys for the defense his charge, which
he expected to give to the jury, so that they
could use it in their argument to the jury
AT half-past 3 o'clock Thomas B. Adams began
his argument He stated to the jury his opinion
