Special to the fndianop0Iis JOurnaI.
WABASH, March l8.-About 2 o'clock this
morning an east bound Wabash freight train en-
countered broken rail near bridge over a
creek four miles east Of this city. Nine cars,
loaded with grain and -four, left the track and
were completely wrecked and the contents scat
tered. The bridge and track were torn up, de-
laying all freight trains four hours. A large
force of men were sent out to clear the track,
which was completed so that passenger trains
could pass over at o'clock this afternoon. Up
to that time passenger and express trains were
sent around via Huntington, Laketon and Peru,
over the Chicago & Atlantic and Detroit g. Eel
River branch of the Wabash. The track walk
ers who have gone over the road at night all
winter were taken off duty yesterday

Indian" has recently led him into
the publication Of a series Of
recommendations in this connec-
ton, that smack strongly of a
disposition to "creato opportuni-
ties" for the display Of the won
derful spirit Of enterprise, that has
distinguished other members OF
the government. as we'll os men,
bers Of the United States senate.
In these recommendations he finds
a ready echo in another conspic-
nous character, whose enterprising
spirit has upon a recent occasion
distinguished him as an astute
ruler and statesman, If not the
compeer Of our honorable chairman
Of the senate committee on Indian
affairs. But laying aside the sug-
gestion, that the coincidence Of
their expressions upon this ques-
ton was the result Of a previous
discussion upon its merits, be.
tween Mr.. Dawes and ChieI
Bushyhead, it cannot be denied
that the coincidence is very
peculiar to say the least.
1t may be proper to cay Ia
these distinguished gentlemen,
that the intelligence Of the Indians
who took part in the treaty oI
Fort Gibson, ratified April -,
1888, led them to apprehend these
recommendations, and they insis-
ted upon the abrogation of a clause
which had already been inserted
in another treaty in 1923 (6th
article) "to lay of their lands and
own them individually" In this,
they finally succeeded as will be
seen by referring to the third article
of said treaty, and the question
was as finally settled then an6
there as it ever can be by any ACT
Of the United States government.

turkeys. He prepared to shoot and
while waiting, Smith came slipping
along under little bank, being about
half bent or STOPPING, which made him

city in the world. The Queens palace,
with its four massive towers, the palatial

graceful spires of the stone memorial

most Indifferent traveller, and cali for the

Yet the Hovas dominate by force of
brain and will, and not by numbers. Mr..
Little gives the following rough census of
the MalagaSy tribes 1.-THE HovaS,
So 900; the Saka!avas, 1000, 900 the
BetSileo, about 1000, 100; and the Bet
simaIaka. 1000, 900" The Hovas are ra-
tlrr he ariStOcratlc or ruling clSte of
Madagascar than anything else. "Politi-
cally," as Mr.. Shaw succinctly puts it,
"there are twenty-five tribes and prOvin-
cial divisions in The island, each formerly
governed by its own chiefs out now, i'll
a greater or less degree, acknowledging
the supremacy of the HovaS." They are,
in fact, the NormanS of the island. The
needed solid Saxon element to this Afri-
can Britain will probable be supplied by
the SO called "MOzlmhiqueS," descended
from slaves brought from the mainland by
Arab traders. OF this element, Mr.. Lit
tie says, sit is aggressive, patient and
SagaciouS, and already possesses wealth
and influence, and under these conditions
must soon possess a voice in local and
domestic matters, which will be certain
to be listened to with attention and re-
Spect." Radama /. represented HOva
energy thrown into conquest; the late
Queen RanavOl0na IL. as truly represented
the virtues of the same race devoted to
religion, civiIiSation, aud administration.
Regarding her successor, the present
Queen Ranavolona Ill, it is satisfactory
to learn from MIR Shaw that i" she is IL
thoroughly good and earnest Christian
woman; one whom we can confidently
trust to use every legitimate effort for the
extension of education and morality,
purity, and a higher social, domestic, and
national integrity.' The Prime Minister
is, OH the showing of both our authors, a
very exceptional man, impressive in pre-
Stnce, Siirtw , susceptible to new ideas,
energetic i'll public life, and, like every
truly great statesman, filled with q
passion for justice. Says Mr.. Shaw,
'"NNhen b. ibery is discovered, it is severe
~ punished, aud the desire to have rIghte-
Gus judgments executed is a powerful feel
ing with the Prime Minister. When the
temptations are particularly strong, he
has been known to constitute himself
