THE natives of New Britain, an island
in the Pacific, have a custom of caging
their daughters until they reach the
marrying age. This plan saves deal
of trouble and expense, as may be seen
at a glance. There are no elopements
in New Britain, and there are no bank
ruptcies by reason of heavy demands
for spring bonnets. In fact, the ma
tives make very parsimonious use of
clothing, wearing but narrow cloth
about their loins. They would make
splendid cigarette photographs.

The Coal.Oil Senatorial BoodIer.

The protest sent to the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections by the
Republican members of the Ohio delega-
ton III the House is n serious sequel to the
refusal of that committee to order an in
vestigation into the charges of bribery
against Senator Payne.
The action of the committee was the
more reprehensible in view of the excep-
tionally disgraceful and abandoned charac-
ter of the Democratic party in Ohio, as
shown IN the late State election.
That the Senate could not afford to dis
regard the presumptive evidence against
Payne is sufficiently clear from the popu-
lar ind gnation aroused by its action.
The Republican members say in their
communication to the committee:
There is feeling in Ohio that the State
has been deeply wronged by your supposed
action. The undersigned are convinced
that the facts and records, or some of them,
laid before your honorable committee by
our colleagues. Messrs. Little and Butter
worth, have in the press of your other
duties failed TO receive that consideration
and weight which they merit and should
have at your hands. We are informed that
there is additional testimony in the hands
of Messrs. Little and Butterworth which
they ask an opportunity to present TO you.
As an indication of the character OF the
additional evidence" the letter from those
gentlemen to Senator Hoar, Chairman of
the committee, is interesting. They claim
that in one case of the alleged transfer of a
vote from Pendleton to Payne "the ques-
ton was squarely and seriously addlessed
to witness. How much money does he (the
Representative want?" This, together
with the other evidence which they state or
intimate that they will present and the gen.
eral popular demand for reopening of
the case, is more than enough to warrant a
examination by the committee. Indeed,
il is not clear how its members can refuse
a rehearing upon any other hypothesis than
that they take ground that the members of
the body to which they belong are above
judicial cedure.-ChicGgO Tribune.

JUDGE GARY, in the anarchist trials
at Chicago, has made number of good
rulings as to the qualification of jurors.
Although the words of this excellent
Judge do not speed the course of JUS
tice in the cases, they may be cited as
authority to expedite future trials. In
one case Judge Gary decided that, be-
cause man hsd formed an impression
as to the guilt or innocence of accused
parties from reading the newspapers.
this need not disqualify him from serv-
ing as juror. He held also that it
was impossible for an intelligent man
to read about any occurrence without
forming some sort of an impression
with regard to that occurrence. But
the impression received would not pre-
vent man from arriving at an honest
and fair Indignant concerning the mat

CoNGREssMAN HEPBURN, of Iowa, did
good thing in exposing the hypocrisy of
Cleveland in connection with some items
of an appropriation bill. In the bill were
items of $4,000 for new furniture for the
White House, and $4,000 for the White
House conservatory. Colonel Hepburn
said that this is asking a good deal by
poor and needy Union soldiers, aggregatine
less than 81 900, for the alleged reason OF
economy, and vet asks for S29,0 more TO

HuEoE, y. r., Feb. THE commits
encouragement OF the land-oilce has made
startling discoveries that the Indian title
10 about ! 900 600 acres Of land la North
Dakota has not been eXtinguished, de-
spite Secretary Teller's order In October,
1884, opening these lands TO the suisse
quent settlement Ivy the inhabitants of
what may comprise fourteen or fifteen
counties, some 81 which are ganized
and contain 20 600 people. The facts, as
rrlated by Commissioner Sparks, In his
letter TO the survey e-generul OF Dakota,
shows that the pembina- Chippewas'
treaty with the United States coded the
river valley counties In Minnesota. The
country lying west and north Of DEVILS
Lake still belongs to the Indians, but
most Of the Pcmhina-Chippcwu went on
a new reservation and the Mink Turtle
mountain band Of only 250 Indians took
mp homes In the disputed district and
claimed To be owners OF this farm OF ten
millian acres. The land Offices IN Dakota
were not notified that no surveys would
be sanctioned In the said district. Two
years aiterward the secretary Of the in
terror Mr.. Teller reviewed the case and
decided that the indian claim was not
well founded and IN 1884 this tract was
thrown open to settlement. Commits
sioncr Sparks states that in view OF these
facts and the presumption that the question
should be submit, 10 congress, he has
decided to suspend all the surveying con.
tracts IN this district indennitely Por.

on the league for several years, continued
in possession rs tenant for Cundiff, under

This same reservation is made in

Cable-Special TO the Bee. Scotland Yard
desires information from INSPECTOR Byrnes
or of the Chicago police about a recently ar
rived American giving the names, at various
places, of Orrin Skinner, Orsun Smith, Gaze,
Gregory, Narney and Nickerson, who was
committed at the Marlborough street police
court this morning on the complaint of
Messrs Kerrie. Farquahar & CO.. of st.
James street, bankers. He was a guest at
the Buckingham Palace hotel, whose pro-
prietor was deceived by what purported to
be a letter of credit and introduction from the
First National bank of Chicago OF $4,000.
The hotel host gave him an introduction TO
his bankers, who, by the plausibility
of the mans manner. were induced
to accept check against the draft
to the amount of two hundred pounds ster-
ling. The bankers took him to be wealthy
speculator in wheat and pork. and Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul shares The prisoner
might have got away had he not written from
the hotel to his tailor incloSing money to pay
for his clothes. They had already obtained
a warrant on the charge OF false pretenseS.
A detective called at the Buckingham Palace
hotel, when he and the host compared intor-
nation. The prisoner. ignorant of the war
rant, was arrested and searched. and other
forged letters of Introduction in blank were
found. Meanwhile the Chicago bank had
been written to by the City of Richmond
mail. The prisoner somewhat resembles
Williamson, who was convicted ten years
ago at New York OF the great forgery of
Central railway bonds through a trust COM
