WAsHINeToN, Jan. 16 "A good deal has
been said in Congress about the Bartholcs
Statue and II is probable q great deai more
will be said, "a Sunset Cox has asked
for an appropriation of 100000 to
aid in its erection. The statue is
to be placed in the middle of the New York
hsrbor, and is generally known as the
Statue OF Liberty Enlightenipg the World"
The scene of its location was that of many
OF the earliest battles for independence. Tho
movement for the monument was begun in
France in the summer Of 1875, when 3
society was formed to take part in the
then coming comRemoration of the one
hundredth anniversary of the National in
dependence of the United States. The soci
ETY. was called the "Union Franco-Ameri-
csine de France" and the way in which it
proposed to emphasize its sympathy
in the great event about to be celebrated in
the United States, was the erection of a CO.
lossal statue in the harbor of New York. 1t
was conceived and designed by NJ. Bartholdi.
an eminent French iculptor, and hence its
name of "Bartholdi Statue"
France wss strongly appealed to aid in
the erection OF this statue, and the alliance
made between the French and American
people during our struggle for independ-
snce was recalled, and the further good 1t
might do in bringing the two people to-
gether pointed out eloquently. The work
was recognized and eulogized By Congress.
The statue when finished cost the French
$250,e00. Its pedestal cost au equal amount.

New York. The structure is TO be 3ls feet

Indian Appropriation BilI-Respect for Ex.

WAsHINeToN, Jan. 16.-The Indian Appro-
priation bill, agreed upon By the House
Committee on Appropriations, provides an
appropriation Of S5,664 1876; the estimates
amounted to s. ,32S Of9. The appropriation
made last session of Congress for the present
fiscal year was S. $50 4O3 The bill provides
for fine and imprisonment whenever any
person shall furnish any Indian guns or am
munition, except the civilized Indians Of
the Indian Territory. The President is EN-
powered to dissrm such Indians as in his
judgment may seem best to preserve the
peace and prevent depredstions. The bill
further provides for the punishment,
by fine and imprisonment of persons
introducing ardent spirits into the Indian
country.
The President has directed that the flags

AMERICAN COURTS ABROAD.
A Proposal to Establish American Courts
in Pagan and MOhammedan
Countries.
Special to the Sentinel.

Special to the Sentinel.
WAsHIoGToE, Jan. 16-It is proposed that
perfect system of courts and laws be pro-
vided for the protection Of American citi-
zens residing in various countries outside of
the United States, such IS China, Japan,
Turkey, and other places where Pagan or Mo-
hsmmedan laWspTevaiL Heretofore and now
judicial powers have been granted to courts
from this 70 other countries, and they have
sat and do sit IS Courts where Americans
are on trial; but their powers are considered
too vaguely defined. These Consuls are gen.
orally not men of knowledge of jursspru-
dence yet they have held judicial power Of
life and death. Their ordinary duties as
ConsuIs are not judicial, but require en-
tirely different lihcstions-commercial
kr owledge and business tact-yet they
are called upon to sit in judgment
where very impartant law matters are at
issue.
1t has long been held by the Department
State that there should be established, in
he extensive American communities exist
ing in these countries, tribunals purely
judicial to pass upon the high questions, in
volving life, commercial relations of vast
interest, etc. 1t is proposed to give these
courts Jurisdiction in civil cases involving
$500, and there shell be no appeal. In the
principal cities OF Japan. China and Turkey
there shall be Judges appointed by the
President Of the United Ststes; also Clerks
of the Courts; and the former shall receive
s., 900 year and the latter 3 500 and travel
ing expenses. Interpreters, etc, are to be
employed The Courts shall be in continU-
ous session. Prisons are sIso provided for.
Representative Hit, OF Illinois, late AS
sistant Secretary of the Department OF
State, has made study of such matters,
and says this is a subject of very great i'm
portance, and that there is no doubt what
ever that these courts will shortly be estab-
lished.
"a great many OF cur citizens dwell with
their families in those distant countries,

n Nohammedan laws and tribunals, o.
to the arbitrary method oil
dealing with foreigners, followed
by the local authorities. In Turkey the
Koran is part OF the Law, in fact its founda

part OF the municipal law Of the oris1 1ta
countries. They often provide harsh pun

as to the cause of the strike.
Reports from the Hooking Valley this

going on among tbs miaers, between one

blast, badly bruising one of his arms and
chest, and burning and backing his face in a
most shocking manner. His eyes are also
badly injured, it is feared; and may have
other injuries not now known. He was ia
