INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Reservations in Dakota Too Large for the
Tribes Upon Them. .

Reservations in Dakota Too Large for the
Tribes Upon Them. @
WAsMNeToN, June Ex-senator Harri-
son, from the Committee on Indian Affairs,
to-day filed supplementary report re-
garding the investigation of the condition
Of the Indians in the Indian Territory and
other reservations. In the report the COM
mittee say regarding the Crow, Greek and
Winnebago reservations in Dakota Ter
ritory, that there are about one thou
sand and fifty Indians drawing rations
there, The trouble, which subcommittee
consisting of Senators Harrison, Ingalls,
and Jones, OF Arkansas, were sent to in
quire into, grew out OF the throwing open
to settlement by order of President Arthur
of certain lands embraced in this reserva-
tion, and the subsequent revocation of that
order by President Cleveland. On this
subject the report says: 1.-The committee
are Of the opinion that the reservation is
much larger than Is needed or can be WISE
ly used for the Indians residing thereon !;
but If the lands are covenanted by q
treaty with them we can not repossess
them without the consent of the Indians.
We believe it is entirely practicable to pro-
cure the consent of the Indians to q reason
able reduction of the reservation as well as
souri, river. An attempt in that direction
has already been inaugurated, and the
necessary legislation has been passed
by the Senate. But the committee
believe that the settlers who went upon
the lands thrown open to settlement
by the Executive order of February
"a, 1885, and in good faith made settlement
thereon, are entitled to be protected as
fully as possible from the consequences of
this unfortunate complication" In regard
to the Grow reservation in Montana, the re-
port recommends that it be reduced to such
limit as will enable the Indians to use what
they retain and vest the titles in individuals.
In the opinion of the committee, the con-
sideration of $3O, 600 a year given by Messrs.
Blake and Wilson Tor the rental Of between
$500, 600 and 100 acres Of these lands
was very Inadequate, and the report says
Charges of fraud in the negotiation of the
lease were made. 1t is enough" the report
continues, ito say .hat the Indians are in
capable Of the Intelligent transaction OF
such business. Ii leases are to be allowed
at all, thei department should have taken
entire supervision of the business"

that he was passing Secor's residence at
the time Of the explosion, on his way to
the II 10 train on the N. W. r. R., but he
will no doubt have chance to explain
why he did not call for help, when SO Sc
verely hurt, instead of running away.

Flourishing City.
New WESTMINSTER, B. c., June15.-The
city of Vancouver, situated at the Pacific
end of the Canadian Pacific railroad, is in
ashes. Not half dozen houses remain out
Of five hundred, and worst of all, there is
large loss Of life. Ten bodies have thus far
been recovered, and number Of persons
are missing and are supposed to have per-
ished. One short hour did the whole work
The property saved Is insignificant. A
"clean sweep describes the situation. A
Thousand men are at work cleaning up de-
bris for the railroad company. Twenty
contracts for rebuilding have been already
let. Many men lost their all, but are de-
termined to start in again. The property
loss falls directly on the pioneer element Of
the city. Hundreds Of people are camped
out. There are meager facilities for
the relief Of the sufferers, but the
people Of this city are especially
open-handed in their efforts to re-
lieve the distress. Prompt aid from the
Canadian Pacific railroad is expected.
Families were compelled to leave their
homes at a moments warning and flee for
their lives. Business men in search of val
uables were forced to rush through flames
and smoke or perish. The whole
populace was panic-striken. A number
OF persons sought refuge in the
water. One man was found in a well,
where he had lowered himself to escape the
flames. Few of the people have more than
the clothes they stand in. OF the ten
bodies recovered only three have been
identified. Most of the frame buildings
will be replaced with brick structures.
Contracts for a large hotel and other ex-
tensive buildings, representing 100000
were let just before the fire.

terrific eruption from the Volcano Momom-

ceived at Realjo on the 2Sd to the effect
that the city Of Managua, the capital of
the country, had been practically destroyed
by the violent earthquakes which accompa-
MED the eruption. The earth upon which
the city was built suddenly sank, soon after
the convulsion began, three feet below its
former level All buildings of any consid-
cradle value were completely wrecked. It
was reported that there was great loss Of
life. Telegraphic intelligence from a town
at the terminus of railroad forty miles
from Realjo was even more startling. That
place was being fast buried beneath hot
volcanic ashes, and many lives had
been lost. The situation in Re-
aljo began to grow somewhat
threatening, and the departure of the

strange gray tint, and fine volcanic ashes
began to fall, and the atmosphere became
oppressive and breathing painful. Mr..
Hotchkiss says the fall of ashes increased
as the ship left the harbor, and they con-
tinued to sift down upon the decks until
the vessel was fully forty miles out. Over
the interior of the country toward the vol
cano there appeared to hang a dense dark
cloud. The decks Of the ship received a
coating about half an inch deep of the vol
canic ashes before getting beyond reach of
the shower. Mr.. Hotchkiss brought with
him specimen. The ashes are dry gray
dust or powder. Managua, the capital OF
Nicaragua, which is said to be destroyed, is
