Action Taken by the Indian Traders Commit
tee in Reference 10 the Chippewa RtServa-
ton
WASHINGTON, March 10 Sen. Chandler,
chairman of the committee on Indian
traders, hiss TRANSMITTED q letter to the
secretary of the interior inclosing draft
of the resolution adopted by the commit
tee asking that the secretary's attt utlou
be especially called to the testimony
showing that extensive numbering opera-
tions are now being carried on upon
the Chippewa reservations under con
tracts not yet approved by the
commissioner of Indian affairs.
by large gangs of lumbermeu who are not
Indians, and suggesting TO the secretary
the advlsability that orders should be
given by telegraph - stop Immediately
cutting down any more trees until farth-
er orders from the department. 1t ap-
pears from the evidence, says the sen
ator, thas none of these timber contracts
have been approved by the COM
missioner, but have gone into
the operation nevertheless with the result
that the plan originally devised to have
been a benefit has been perverted into
the system under which the greedy con
tractors have rushed upon the reserva-
tion and denuded it of its timber. Sen.
Cha&dler says, further, unless the testi-
mony taken can be shown to be errone-
Gus, there has been the grossest malad
ministration on the part of the local
United States officials in charge Of
the Chippewa reservation and susge
that although the commissioner of In
dian affairs asserts his confidence i'll the
Indian agent in control of the reserva-
tion, James I. Gregory, of Ashland, Wis,
the subject is evidently one requiring the
personal consideration OF Secretary
Villas and such action as his knowledge
of localities ard possibly of parties, will
enable him TO make prompt and
effiCacious.
Secretary Villas in his letter of ac-
knOwledgemeut of the above says that
the subject shall have his personal atten
tion as suggested, and that orders will be
transmitted by the most expeditions

CAUSE OF THE PHENOMENA.

Two storms Iutcrscct-Onc Central Along the
Cosat the other in the North Washington
Gets Il Terrific Dose.
WASHINGTON, March l2.-The storm
that visited Washington yesterday was
one Of the most remarkable known for
years, in fact the capital seemed to have
teen tho center of miniature
cyclone that brought with it
snow, wind and cod. In the early hours
of the day the cutters ran high, and in
many low places the sewers were blocked,
thus flooding the streets. The heavy ram
continued until about 3 o'clock in the af-
ternoon, when it turned TO a binding
sEow, which stuck TO everything touched
ard turned to ice. as night fell The
heavily laden telegraph wires began to
come down and in many places the streets
were bIockaded by them. The police
wires were out of order, and 10 add
to the discomforts of the night
the electric lights began TO fail.
BY midnight the city was al
most in darkness save for the feeble
gas gets. At the signal Office to day it
was learned the storm was the result Of
the splitting of q storm trough that on
the day before yesterday extended south
from Michigan. Saturday night i. divid-
ed, forming two storm centers, one
over lake Erie and enc in Georgia. The
southern center then began climbing up
the coast, striking Washington yesterday
morning. The ceZter itself did cot reach
here until about three O'Clock in the af
ternoon. This took until nearly midnight
TO pass. The total rain fall amounted to
d inches.
All railroads are blockadcd and Wash
inqton has been almost completely iso-
lated since o'clock Sunday evening.
The morning and evening papers of to-
day appeared without telegraphic infor'
nation.

ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS

The State Convention to be Held at Spring
field May 23-Cheering Speeches.
CHICAGO, March 13-At the meeting of
the state central committee today,
Spring field was chosen as the place for
h9din g the state convention and May %
the date. The basis of representation
was fixed at one delegate for every four
hundred votes, the elections to be made
by the counties in the country and
by congressional districts in Cook county.
In the afternoon visiting statesmen were
given a chauce to air their views in
the public meeting over which George M.
Haynes presided. Mr.. Hayes read a
speech in the course of which he assured
the brethren that the party was entering
upon the impending campaign under
more favorable circumstances than ever
before in the history of the party of the
state. The republican party had main
tanned plurality in the state by
the use of federal patronage, the loss of
which justified the confidence of the
committee that the state as well as the
national ticket would be elected next
fall.
]. G. Campbell, of Streator; A. j. Bell,
of Peoria; Delos H. Phelps, Scott Wike,
Alfred Orendorff and others spoke cheer
fully of the prospects. On Cleveland S
policy all would cheerfully unite. Tariff
reform must he ha d. Charles Kern said
everything possible to end the war be-
tween the factions in Cook county would
be done. The mention of Gen. Black 3
name in one of the speeches as running
N ate for Cleveland was the signal for
demonstrative applause by what seemed
to be the ma jority of the meeting.
