The President and II the II: Ind,an. 4.

A committee waited upon the president
the other day and was addressed on the
subject Of Indian affairs. The president lis!
tened attentiyely to the speakers, and as.
sured them OF the deep interest he had in
tho Indian question. 81 &
s He reviewed briefly the many difficulties
encountered in dealing with the question,
which he acknowledged was most import.
ant one, and said that the great trou.
Bile in his mind, was the first prac.s
teal step to be taken in Improving
the condition Of the Indian. Shall we give
them more schools and churches, and arri-
cultural implements for use on the rea, ryn.
lions, or shall we deed them lands in sever.
atty, and leave them to their own rcsonrc-
esH One trouble he found was to get I'd
Of the influences OF the old chiefs. Then.
again, we leave the Indians to themselves
and one becomes angry, a loud cry goes ali
over the country that we are starving the
Indians. How are we to ret the Ind ians ia
mingle with the whites? We certainly cannot;
driye them of their reservations. sit batter
to keep! them under tutelage where tbev
are, or would their civilization be better
accomplished in some other way? 4 Tho
question is surrounded with difficulties
and the most important consideration. IL
my mind, at present TO- what ia the most II
aseigt thing to be done? While il might
not pc well for the cause to disturb the In.
dams in their present homes, he believed
That the reservations would ultimately be
gwen TO them In seyeralty, and the Indians
thrown on their own resources.

Galveston Scorched

At lao o'clock Friday the ID tn inst. the
MOST destructive fire in the history Of Gal
weston broke out in small foundry and
car repair shop on the north side Of Avenue
A, known Us the Strand. between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth streets. A fierce gale from
the north was blowing at the time, and the
flames spread with lightning rapidity.
+ About 300 houses were burned which
were occupied by fully 500 families. From
cludes the wealthiest and most
fashionable portion Of the city.
One hundred elegantly furnished
mansions are in ruins. Many OF
these residences had beautiful gardens at
tached, and the moneyed loss does not
represent over hall their value. The city
assessor says the taxable value Of the
dwellings burned is $65O,O00. This makes
the actual value OF the property
$1,600, 900, which, perhaps, represents
the loss in money. The insurance
men place tho insurance Mt $780,
900. So far as can be learned not a single
progress OF the fire was simply frightiul, SO
! filled with misery and terror that whoever
witnessed it must bearits vivid impress for
a lifetime. The wind rose to a screaming
gale in the vicinity OF the fire, and swept
through the burning belt in terrific whirls,
carrying millions Of live cinders high up in
the mir, and raining them down mile dis.
tant over the wooden city and its panic
stricken inhabitants. Fortunately the
flames spared the government building and
passed onward toward thegulf. AtAvenue
! the fire fiend reveled In the most
stylish mansions OF the city. One OF the
first OF these splendid houses to sue.
cumb was a $40, 900 house. Theniin rapid
procession went the residences OF Julius
Runge, Leon Blum, Fl. Fellman, George
selby, r. F. Georges 100000 residence,
Thomas Goggans and three hundred OF
less value. These names represent a loss
of $40, 900 to $4,000 each. The total
area OF the burnt district in 100 acres, and
forty and q half blocks are swept clear Of
everything combustible. Something over
400 houses were burned, and it is estimated
by relief committee that about !, 900 iami-
