How India Rubber Grows.

Now We come into forest of rubber
trees, which can be detected without the
eye Of an expert, for they are all SCARED
and dying rapidly flom the wounds of the
hunters machete- The rubber hunter re-
minds me of the boy who "ldIled the
goose that laid the golden egg" Each
tree can afford to lose certain amount Of
juice per year and still live. When one
of these fellows. however, makes a dis
covery. only few months suffice to place
his bonanza in the ranks Of the many that
have gone before The consequence Is
one may traverse these immense forests
from end to end and never meet a virgin
tree. The ordinary specimen Of Nicaragua
is from fifty to 100 feet high. averaging
about two feet in diameter The bark is
white and the leaves oval. with slight
inclination downward The cuts are made
about two feet apart and extend from the
ground to the first branch, channels being
scored in the side to lead the juice into a
bag, held at tie bottom
The average yield of large tree is from
FIVE to seven gallons Of milky fluid
This Is placed IN an open vessel and mixed
In small proportions with the Juice Of a
plant found near the rubber tree called
the wisth, which hastens congsiation-
After this operation is complete the pro

HOUSE..

! WASHINGTON, June 1.-Mr. Spinola, OF
| New York, renewed his effort to have
passed by the house the bill to revive the
rank of general of the army for the benefit
/ of Lieutenant General Sheridan, but Mr..
Kilgore, of Texas, objected.
! Mr.. Randall suggested that the bill
might be passed Monday under suspen-
| sion of the rules and il was laid over.
! Mr.. Mills, of Texas, rising in his place,
asked in the name of the confederate sol
| diers, living and dead, that the house con-
slider the Sheridan bill, but Mr.. Kilgore
persisted in his objection.
Mr. Spinola, of New York, again sought
| to bring the Sheridan bill before the house
! by asking consent to report it back from
The committee on military affairs. 1t had
been referred to that committee after the
preceding feature.
Mr.. Kilgore was induced to withdraw
his objection so far as to allow the report
to be made. but Mir. Oates. of Alabama,
promptly renewed the objection. The Re
publicans desiring to force the immediate
consideration Of the Sheridan bill, resorted
to dilatory tactics and finally the DIRECTORS
gave way and the bill was taken up and
passed.
Mr.. Oates, OF Alabama, went on record
as opposing the bill.
The legislative appropriation was then
passed.
The customs deficiency appropriation
bill was passed.
Mr. Mills of Texas, moved that the
house 90 into committee of the whole on

favor OF cheap lumber.
Mr. Mccormick, of Pennsylvania, main
tanned that there was no such thing as a
lumber trust. and that the existing tariff
on lumber was fairly reasonable.
Mr.. Weaver, of Iowa, had read a maya
zine article describing the operations of
the lumber trust, written by Henry Lloyd.
The question was then put on Mr..
Adams amendment to substitute January

cation of the free list and it was defeated

Mr.. Buchanan, Of New Jersey then of

held that the point of order could only be

Mr. Reed. of Maine, gave notice that he

Mr. Buchanan was meanwhile permitted
to combat the point of order but after he
had concluded his remarks, the chair de-
cided that his amendment was out of or

The profits of the lumber business was
then made the subject of discussion, at the

Grafton of the Indian appropriation bill.
In the course of discussion on the subject
of the education of Indian children, Mr..
Blair sent to the clerks desk and had read
letter from an Indian woman, who, he
said, had been a delegate to the recent
woman's convention in Washington and
was descendant of a Mohawk Indian.
The letter was dated as Kalamazoo, and
was signed princess Siroqua." In it
the princess contrasts the conditions of
the Indians in Canada and the United
States much to the advantage OF the form
er and says: Il believe that congress as a
body, wishes us no wrong, but, neverthe-
less, great wrongs are done. Some OF them
never can be righted. One of the greatest
wrongs is the introduction of fire water
among my people. / appeal to you as a
nation to see that the Indians are educated.
Send less theology among them and more
true christianity. Send honest people If
you have any among you. An Indian loves
honor and truth but despises deceit. We
have great reason to be proud that we are
Indians. We have never been known to
manufacture alcoholic drinks to destroy
body and soul. Neither have we language
to take Gods name in vain.
In the course of the discussion Mr.
Dawes intimated that the five civilized
tribes had reached certain grade of civil
iZatiOn and stopped there, il they had not
even refrigerated. Heroic treatment was
fast coming to be a necessity in order to
save the good already secured there:
Many Of the Indians themselves realized
that fact, and would be glad to have the
common heritage divided up among them
without which Gn his opinion) higher
state of civilization than they now had
was impossible The Indian, as an Indian,
could not live in this country.
A colloquy took place between Senators
Plumb and Bates in regard to the admins
tration of the Office of the commissioner of
Indian affairs, the former asserting that
the condition of things in the indian ter
ritory was worse now than it had been for
many years, that there never was a time
when the trader so dominated the Indian,
when the Indian was brought so much in
debt by the eXactionS of the trader and
when so much liquor was sold, and that
the commissioner had no experience, was
advanced in years, and was unequal to
the position. while Mr.. Bates de-
Tended the character. ability, honesty
and efficiency of the commissioner, and
challenged the senator from Kansas to
prove his assertions, which Mr.. Plumb
promised to do.
In answer to a question from Mr.. Blair,
Mr. Dawes said he supposed the Catholic
church secured more of the contracts for
the education of scholars III the Indian ter
rItory than any other denomination be-
cause it has bureau in Washington to
look after such matters
The bill was finally passed.
The senate in executive session confirmed
the nomination of Lieutenant General
Sheridan to be general. and the president
afterwards signed the COM
which was at once delivered to
the general at his house.
