WASHINGTON. March 25.-The executive
session of the senate was very short one
The cases Of a number of postmasters.
whose predecessors were suspended were
reported fayorably. 1t was stated that they
were the cases of men against whom no
charges have been received from any source.
and in respect to the majority of whom the
suspended officials have recommended con-
firmation. This is in compliance with an
informal understanding OF the postoffice
committee had some days ago with regard
10 such cases. An adverse report was made
in the case of an Iowa postmaster and was
ord cred to be printed in con-
idence for the use of the senate.
The committee embodied in the report
letter from the nominee, who charges that
the Republican incumbent had been pub
fishing a newspaper in German and another
In English. and thereby doing much good
for the party. He (the present nominee)
says that if he could have the office he, too.
could publish a newspaper or two for the
benefit Of the Democratic party. and that
he was willing to devote the emoluments
Of the office to this purpose. Slips from
The writer's paper In support of the Demo
sratlc party are quoted. The committee
also refers TO the circular of the post
master general and the utterances OF the
president with regard to the exercise of
partisan influence by office holders. The
committee says it reports the case adversely
IN order to aid the administration in carrying
out its policy. The case of the international
revenue collector for the district of Vermont
was reported tavorably. A written report
was made declaring in substance that the
committee had heard from the secretary of
the treasury in response to its inquiry. that
there were no charges against the outgoing
official, and that he was removed for politi-
cal reasons alone.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Developments
during the discussion of the Indian bill
show there is disposition now to make
close inquiry into the value of the property
of the different Indian tribes, TO see If they
are not so wealthy, with proper manage
ment of their estates, that these wards Of
the nation can be supported of their own
means. In Mr.. Holman's report there is
given detailed account Of the condition of
the Indians on the DEVILS Lake reserya-
ton. who number, it seems, 925. They
possess $50. 400 acres OF land. They have,
besides this great landed estate. an annual
money income from the sale of other lands
Of S6.S77, yet the government gives them
on the top of all this IS. 900 for their sup
port. SD. 213 for schools, and pays besides
"a. 495 per annum for directors, mechanics,
teamsters, labOrers, police. harnessmakers
and so on. There are members of congress
who. looking over this expenditure, over
S35. 600 per annum of public money on 925
Indians. who have already ESQ. 600 acres Of
land and an independent income Of nearly
$1,000 year, believe il is necessary to stop
this waste for fear the whole white laboring
population of the country in these hard
times will want To turn Indians. Il can't
see why 925 Indians with so much land and
so much money ought not to paw their own
expenses OF every kind" said representa-
tive yesterday.

MANDAN, OAK. March 25.-The heart

the water rose eight feet in two hours.
The water began running into the engine

At present the gorge holds firm. but the

slight. though all the houses south Of the

two feet would flood the machine shops
and put the entire south part of the city
