briefly many difficulties encountered in
dealing with the question which he
ackno wledged was q most important one,
and said that the great trouble to his
mind was as to the first practical step to
be taken in improving the condition OF
the Indian. Shall we give them more
schools ard churches and agricultural
implements for use on their reserva-
tions, or shall we deed them lands
in severalty and leave them to their
own resources? One trouble
he found was to get rid of the inhu-
ence of the old chief; then again, we
leave the Indians to themselves, and VA
becomes hungry and o loud cry goes
up all Oyer the country that We are
starving the Indians. How are we to
get the Indians to mingle with the
whites? We certainly can't drive them
off their reservations; 10 it better to
keep them under tutelage where they
are, or could their civilization he better
accomplished in some other way? The
question is surrounded with difficulties,
continued the president, and the most
important consideration to my mind is,
"what is the most useful thing to be
done?" He said that while
it might not be we'll for the cause to
disturb the Indians i'll their present
homes, he believed that their reserva-
tions would be ultimately given to them
in ~severalty and the Indians thrown or
their own resources. The president re,
minded the committee that the caus
which they advocated would require
years to consummate, but intimated thai
he hoped to be able to make q beginning
in the right direction during the re
naming years of his administration.
HEARING RESUMED.
The hearing in the telephone casel
was resumed to-day before the seoretar.
of the interior. Mr.. CAN'T, for the citizen
of Memphis, read q long list of affidavit
and authorities that he intended to ru
in evidence as tending to show that Bel
was not the original inventor of the tele
phone. Among the papers was q com
munication from Acting Attorney Gen
Goode, expressing the opinion tina
Reiss was the inventor of the teiephon
and that Bells patent had been irregu
larry issued, .justifying in his opinio,

THE MISSOURI RIVER coNm1ss,o,

HI MISSOURI 1--WE COMMISSION.
Washington, Nov. 10-The Missouri
river commission n it's annual report
says the plans of Improvement adopted
by the commissioner for the lower por-
ton of the river contemplate a reduc-
ton of the width Of waterway sufficient
to insure the stability of the regimen and
approximate uniformity of slope, width
and depth. The commission is satisfied
OF the engineering feasibility OF this i'm
proyenent and the great benefit likely
to follow Its completion, but they are
not prepared to estimate its cost. They
are OF the opinion that the experiment
should be tried IN an extensive scale
and with ample means, 30 as to cover q
considerable length of the river and en-
sure the completion of any work under
taken. They consider that for this our
pose annual appropriations of not
less than one million dollars
should be made. For the
upper river the commission recommend
that the present work be mainly contin-
ed to the construction of dams and the
dredging of shoals On the rocky river
above Carroll; below that point the snag
boats should be kept at work removing
distractions and funds should be provid-
ed there for these purposes, and certain
experimental dams to be constructed
near Bismarck.

severely injured. Tho boat was valued at

Investigation as to the cause of the acci-

the prime cause of the explosion. The boat,
it appears, had gone aground immed lately

the gas line in twain. The gas rushing up
all around the boat ig tied from tho furnace
