FOR INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.

A Special Committee Fayors the Appoint
ment of Commissioners to Adjust
Claims---Sort of Judicial Tribunal.
= WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The select
committee on Indian depredations claims
reported favorably, with unimportant
amen dments, the bill to provide for the
adjudication and payment Of claims aris-
ing from Indian depredations. The re-
port states that fully appreciating the
Justice of the demands of the claimants
now before congress and the depart-
ments for depradations committed by
Indians, and recognizing the moral and
legal responsibility of the United States
for their naturalization and payment,
that justice to the claimants justice to
congress and to the government concur
in demanding that a tribunal, district
and judicial in character, whose decisions
deliberately and judicially had, would
command the respect and confidence alike
of congress and the country, should be
organized and charged with this duty. !
The committee in framing this bill
have sought TO be as liberal in securing
for this class of claimants speedy
hearing and adjudication of their
claims as in their opinion was possible,
in view of all the embarrassments by
which their consideration is eLyirored.
The bill authorizes the president to ap-
point three commissioners, to hold Office
until Dec. 81, 1891, when their functions
and privileges shall cease. .a

NORTHWEST'S LOSS.

Much Necessary Legislation for This Sec
tion Killed by the Deadlock.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE obstruc
tion tactics in the house has consumed 80
much time that many important measures
will have to be laid over and
practically killed. Among those of inter-
est to the Northwest are: A measure
providing for the erection of postof1ice
building at St. Paul; to increase the ap-
preparation for the erection Of a public
building ct Winona: to provide for the
erection of sundry lighthouses and fog
whistles in Lake Superior; relating to
the customs collection of Duluth;
granting the right of way
through certain Indian lands in
Minnesota to the Moorhead, Leech Lake
and Northern Railway company. These
measures have all been investigated by
committees, and have occupied eligible
positions on the calendar for final con-
sideration; but their chances of success
have now been largely impaired on ac-
count OF the big loss of time.

The Mills Bill the Important Measure
Before the House the Coming Week.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-The bills for
the admission OF the state of Dakota into
the Union and establishing bureau Of
industry will occupy the time of the SEN
ate during the week. The Republican
senatorial caucus committee will have
another meeting Tuesday or Wednesday
and consider the order of business,
but it is unlikely that any
thing will be. agreed upou for the
current week. In the house there will be
a medley of affairs during the next six
days. The Indian appropriation bill is
unfinished business, and that will be
taken up again at the first available mo-
ment. The Mills tariff bill will come up
Tuesday for discussion. The committee on
agriculture has continuing order which
gives it two days for consideration of
revenue and general appropriation bills,
and Chairman Hatch will likely urge
recognition of his order. Friday is set
aside for the consideration of private
bills. The tariff bill will at times be laid
aside for portions of days when confer
ence reports and appropriation bills are
to be received and considered.
