 MT. Ellis received the delegation courte- ously, heard their story, characterized the starving of the Indians last winter as f'an in fanny" promised the delegation that as soon as the acquisition for $50,000 was received from Commissioner Price the Appropriation committee would pass upon it, and that it "eould be finished in two days"
 One of the delegation who remained in Washington succeeded, by following up the matter day and night, in getting the requi- sition through the circumlocution depart ment of the government, and presented in due form to the Appropriation commit tee
 There it was strangled, again through the direct influence of MT. Ellis, who said to the member of the Indian Right association, Prof. Painter, who had guided the recquisi- tion through to the intricate mazes of red tape, in the coils of which it would have re- mained entangled for an indefinite period: ''No, sir, the acquisition has not been and will not be allowed. What authority have you here, anyway? There are two many In dian friends around here, and more to the same purport.
 This action on part of the Appropriation committee means that two thousand lnd1anS, the remnant of the band which suffered every conceivable torture from starvation last win ter-after first consuming all their ponies and dogs-are again deliberately to bs sub-
 jected to similar fate for the want of pal try sum of $50, ,000, which is not asked for as gratuity, but is demanded as just debt.
 There is at present no law in this country by which an Indian can seek redress for such heinous crime, crime which is an outrage committed not only on the Indian, but on the whole American people, and the only satisfaction which the friends of the Indian obtained at Washington is the knowledge that their last hope is by appeal to the whol< | American people, so that these appalling in | iquities may be put down.
 Meanwhile the stigma of the crime com mitted last winter rests upon MT. Ellis, as | we'll as the responsibility for the suffering which is in all human probability sure te | recur this coming spring, and it is not un | likely that MT. Ellis may wake some day tG
 find himself branded by public sentiment a: | a murderer.

himself if necessary. A steamboat now runs
 up the Zambesi and Shire rivers to these
 cataracts, and the steamer Hala plies from the north end of the cataracts to the north end of Nyassa The African Lakes company is de-
 veloping this route, which, if Stevenson's railroad is built, will make 1,5OO miles of well-populated lake coasts and river banks accessible by steam. The route will involve wagon travel only between Nyassa and Tan ganyika, s10 miles, and it is regarded as one of the most promising means of reaching the interior. A steamboat was launched on Tan ganyika last spring.
 Hon. A. W. Paine, of Bangor, Maine, has prepared bill to go before the legislature providing forvoting by proxy. By it's terms, any legal voter whose name is on the voting list, who is not personally present, may vote by proxy provided the authority to do so is in writing or printed, specifying the vote to
 be thrown, directed to some person whose
 name is on the same list, setting forth the
 voters residence and place of voting, signed
 by him and acknowledged before some mag
 istrate authorized to take the acknowledg-
 ment of deeds. If any doubt exists as to the
 identity of the voter or proxy, proof shall be
 on proof it shall be received and counted
 and then filed in the clerks office and subject
 to inspection. The act provides the same
 penalties for forgery, bribery or double yot- ing that now apply to these offenses; also that if at any time before the polls close, voter appears in person and desires to withdraw any proxy vote purporting to be his and seeks to vote in person, he may do so after first making oath before the presiding officer
 that the proxy was forged or not executed by him.
 The Utica Herald reviews the case of the West Shore railroad and comes to the req ! sonabls conclusion that parallel railroads can hardly live in this country. This roae and the New York Central, the Herald says I run through a section giving probably the best local business of any large territory il | the world. There is 8 chain of thriving vii l lages and cities, almost every one with some | manufacturing to swell railroad freights, ane on both sides are rich agricultural regions with the metropolis as market for it's pro ducts. Moreover, two roads are in the bes possible position to get through the business and as a matter of fact do have lions share | of it; but reports show that for the year end l ing October the Central failed to earn it dividends, while the West Shore was unabl to pay operating expenses. The year ended before rate-cutting began, and hence thu
 owners of the property must look for profit t' 1 an increaSa in husineSs That will of cOurS | come by degrees, but the Herald argues tha | the Central with it's four tracks can do it al | cheaper than any other line possibly can, ane seems to think that it's rival has got into ho water of a very hopeless kind.
