Mr.. Coke is highly complimented on
all sides for his great argument yester-
day on the Reagan bill as against the

The full measure of the
great victory achieved by Reagan
is just beginning to be appreciated, and

mentary notices are pouring in on the

The house recedes from its disagree
ment to all the senate amendments,
The house then went into committee
OF the.whole on the Indian appropria-
ton bill.
Ihe house committee on public health
has decided that by reason of the late
stage OF the session, and the crowded
cohuitlon OF the calendars, 1t will be i'm
possible to pass at this session the bill to
protect public h alth recently prepared
by delegates from the various state
boards of health. The committee, how
ever, nave decided to recommend an APP
preparation of $4,000 ior the national
board OF health, and $4,000 to be at the
discretion of the president for the pur-
pose OF preventing the spread OF cholera,
should 1t appear IN this country before
the next congress assemblies.
On motion of Mr.. ELLIS, an amend
ment was adopted directing the secre-
.ary OF the interior to prepare list of
al approved and pending claims of citi-
zens on account of Indian depredations,
and report the the same to congress on
the lrst Monday in next December.
MIR. RYAN offered an amendment an
thorlzing the president to open negotia-
llons with the Greeks, Seminoes and
Cherokees FOR the purpose of opening to
settlement under the homestead laws,
unassigned land in the Indian Territory
ceded by them to tho United States.
These are the Oklahoma lands.
Adopted.
MIR. CHASE then spoke in support of
an increase in the appropriation lor the
Indians at Fort Peck agency.
Mr.. MAGINNlS attributed the starry
ing condition OF the Indians of that
agency to the ineillciency of the Indian
department.
MIR. REAGAN said it struck him as a
curious fact that the government could
always find means for appropriating
money to feed lot of lazy and yaga-
bond Indians, but could never find
means for putting them to work.
Mr. HEWITT, of New York, read
letter he had received from Bishop
| Whlpple, of Minnesota, who is now dy-
ing on the banks of the Mediterranean,
lmplorlng his good offices for the In
dians and asking him to request the
president-elect to be deeply careful in
the selection of a commissioner of In
dian affairs. "No position" says the
bishop, "in the gift OF the president can
bring to his party greater honor or
| greater fame.n
On motion of Mr.. MANZANERIE, an
amendment was adopted appropriating
$4,000 for the erection of an Indian in
dustrial school at Santa Fe.
Mr.. CUTCHEON offered an amend
ment, providing that any Indian COM
mitting against the person or property
