ervation which is in every way most
agreeably adapted to the purposes OF In
dian civilization. and large enough to
meet all the future wants OF the entire
Chippewa nation within tho borders OF the
state. The condition OF some OF these
scattered bands is deplorable in the ex-
treme. l feel it my duty to ask that the
report OF the committee may receive your
careful perusal and attention. 1t gives
most painful account OF the situation and
surroundings OF some OF these scattered
bands, and don't think that the egisla-
tive branch OF the government would fail
to take notice OF II condition OF affairs SO
shocking to the moral sense OF an enlight-
ened people if pressed upon it's attention
for remedial action. The Red Lake agree
ments should also receive early considera-
ton. The Indians are anxious to dis
pose OF their surplus lands in order to
obtain the means to give them a start
in the pursuits OF civilized life.
and it is no more than right that they
should have their desire gratified, and that
they should receive the full value OF the
lands that may so disposed OF. The rati-
fiati"n OF the agreement made with them
would place about 1000. 900 acres OF land
on the market embracing q vast timber
zone OF very great value and it may not
be improper to remark here. that the only
opposition to the ratification OF the govern
ment is believed by the late commissioners
to come from tho "pine ring" So
called, which is said to control large
amaunt of timber land in said state. the
value of which might possibly be affected
if the Red Lake timber lands were put into
the market. The same opposition directed
against the the White Earth agreement
for the same reason is aided and strength
ened by the whisky men, who are 10th to
profitable Indian customers, which they
clearly see would be the ultimate result if
the removal and consolidation should be
affected.

Vast Value of Gifts Presented to the
Pope.

The correspondent OF the Baltimore Sun
in Rome has furnished an interesting de-
scription OF the gifts to Pope Leo on the
occasion of his jubilee. He says:
The gifts have come in rapidly that two
additions have already been made to the
building in which they are to be exposed.
So far 1000 cases OF articles have been
handled and the end is notyet. Upt to Jan.
13 presents to the value OF $1O,O0O,OCO.
have passed through the hands of the
Vatican inspectors. Even the sum has
been exceeded in money. The United
States has outstriped every other country
in cash donations. This manner OF testi-
flying to Pope Leo the feality OF the Catho-
lies OF the United States has won the ad-
miration OF the Pope, who is more pleased
with it than with that of any other coun-
try, since it furnishes him with really
means to spread the Catholic church
through Europe and parts OF the
far East, enterprises into which he
has thrown his heartiest energies. In pro.
portion to the number of Catholics in vari-
Gus contributing countries. Belgium and
Hungary have sent the most gifts. Every.
thing used in the Catholic service is there
in profusion. The Irish Catholics, besides
their heavy money contributions, are rep
resented by rolls of Irish lace, cases OF
yes me1ts, golden altar vessels and orna-
mer Is in abundance and the finest exhibi.

Bishop ireland In Washington.

Washington Special: Bishop Ireland will
remain here five or six days longer as the
guest of Father Chappell, when he will re.
turn to st. Paul. At u meeting in the in
terest OF the new university Bishop Ire.
land made an eloquent address. Among
other thugs he said:
The university was placed in this city in
the center OF American life because here it
would be most widely known. We are not
afraid OF the light; we court it. All Amer
leans are proud OF this beautiful city.
They feel that it ia their city and they are
at home. Other cities wanted the univer-
sity. They made splendid offers. In Chi
cago they say, "Why didn't you locate
the university here? We would have run
up the building for you in little while"
But placed anywhere else the university
would have been a local institution; now
it will be national.
Bishop Ireland evoked laugh
at the expense o: Father Chap
pell by saying that the latter
had promised that Washington would con-
tribute $50, 900 if the university was To-
Gated here. II intend to hold DR.. Chappell,
to this agreement" continued the bishop
'and if you don't contribute the money he
will have to pay it himself" The bishop
then said that in November, 1889. they
expected to open the university. The d.
vinity department would be started first
with eight or ten professors, then the 9TH
er faculties for the department OF philoso.
ply, letters, etc.. until the grand plan was
realized; $4,000 has already been sub.
scribed in the city.

Destructive Fire In New York City.

New York has recently had it's first great
fire in years when a big hole was burned in
big block in the Wholesale section OF the
city, and property worth 81, 10000 was
destroyed. The ominous signal known as
three skies" which summons nearly
every engine company in the city, called
many firemen to the Broadway
block, between Prince and Spring streets.
A big fire that started in the base.
ment OF the five-story double building, Nos.
549 and 551 Broadway, spread to the adj
Joining building north and SOUTH and Ia i'd

tended through the block to Mercer street,
solidly covering plot Of ground 1OOx2OO
ieet. heap OF ashes, brickS and broken
iron. smoking hot, covered the same qround
before noon, every part OF the building
having been demolished. Property worth
about 81 800, 900 was destroyed by the
fire, and one brave fireman sustained fatal
injuries.
The burned buildings can be replaced for
$500, 600, and the damaged buildings can
