WASHINGTON, March 90. The
speaker laid before the house letter
from the secretary of the treasury trans
hitting an estimate from the secretary
of the interior of the appropriation for
the support of the Naturalization Sioux
Indians in Minnesota, by asking that
the following item be added to the APP
preparation bill: For the support of
full blood Indians in Minnesota belong
ing to the above named band of Sioux
Indians in Minnesota who have re-
sided in said state since May 20, 1856,
and severed their tribal relations,
$4,000 to be expended by the secretary
of the treasury in the purchase OF agrl-
cultural implements, cattle, horses and
lands, and in making improvements
thereon; provided, as the secretary may
deem to the best interest of the Indians,
and may cause to be erected for their
use a school house to cost not over 81
600; provided also, he may appoint a
suitable person to make the above men
toned expenditures under his direction,
the expenses of the same to be pald out
of this appropriation. Judge MacDon-
aid, in writing Commissioner Atkins on
the subject, says: 1.-The Indians must
have more implements and stock with
which to work their land, as they are
becoming completely self-SuppOrtlng,
and in some instances must have more
land than beef allotted them" Bishop
Whipple filed letter on the same sub
ject.

insure activity which is so vitality
necessary now that every vote possible
must be brought out in the next cam
paign.
AS far as state politics was concerned,
nothing was touched upon, it being the
sentiment Of the committee that it
would be
uL-TIAIED AND IRREGULAR
to have politics mixed up with a contest
for national ticket, and would not adj
vance the interests of the candidates for
state offices. Besides it was in the prov
lnce sof fthe convention just called to Sc
lect an entirely new state central COM
mittee if it saw fit, but this was UNI
likely, Judging from the precedent al
ready established. 1t was a group of
smiling, satisfed-looking gentlemen
that greeted the representatives of the
press when the parlor door was unlocked
shortly before o'clock and the visitors
the conference. Before adjourning a
motion prevailed that the committee
should Ge called together again by the
chairman if any necessity arose for
such action.
Secretary Joel HeatwOle stated that
he would issue the call for the state con-
ventlOn within two or three days, and
that the chairmen of the county commit
tees would govern themselves accord
ingly. Each county would hold its con-
vention at time best suited to the con-
venience of the voters in it, but the
committee thought sixty days would be
sufficient to arrange all the preliminaries
for these primaries, as they might be
called. Attention was called to the fact
that the Republican convention only
antedated by one day the gathering of
THE DEMOCRATIC FORCES,
but the explanation given was that it
would not take more than day to COM
plete the selection of delegates, and
hence no clash of opposing interest was

The State Central Committee
Meeting Yesterday a Har-
monious Affair.

Two pitchers of ice water were car
ricd into Parlor X at the Ryan, where
the Republican state central committee
was billed to meet yesterday afternoon,
and for the two hours and half that
the committee was in secret cOnclaVe
the contents furnished the only refresh
ments partaken of by those present.
Chairman John S. PillSbury, of Mime
apolis, presided, and when Secretary
Joel HeatWole had called the roll, it was
discovered that there were two alb
sentees, one of whom, D. F. Morgan, of
Albert Lea, was represented by Hon.
Stanford Newell, who held his proxy,
while a. +. Jackson was not represented
at all. There was considerable discus
sion as to the time for holding the
state convention which is to select the
delegation to represent Minnesota in
the national convention at Chicago on
June 10. and some of those present ia
VOred assembling early in May. The I'd
of that month was suggested, but this
was opposed by E. w. Randall, of
Morris. who explained that about
that time the farmers would be busy
with seeding, and therefore a few weeks
later would be more convenient for
them to attend the county conventions.
This argument proved potent one, land
after a general interchange of views on
the subject Wednesday, May Is, 1888,
was finally fixed upon as the date of the
state convention, which will be held in
Market hall, in this city. From the out
set it was evident that the meeting was
harmonious and the programme gave
every evidence of having been carefully
arranged beforehand, so that no opposi-
trusted with it was feared. Particularly

TO PROTECT LABOR.
A Bill to Protect Free Labor From
Competition With Convict La

A Bill to Protect Free Labor From
Competition With Convict La
Dor.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-Mr.O'Neill,
of Missouri, introduced a bill in the
house to-day to protect free labor from
competition with convict labor by pro-
yiding that all articles manufactured by
prison labor should only be sold in the
state where produced, and imposing
penalties for violation. Mr.. O'Neill
also reported bill to establish de-
partment of labor, and one to
p rOhibit the government purchas-
ing articles made by convict labor.
Mr. Tarsney,o of Michigan, from the COM
mittee on labor, reported bill to pro-
hibit the employment Of convict or
alien labor on public works. The reso-
luton assigning four days for the trans
action of business from that committee
was reported by the committee on labor,
and led to considerable debate. The
resolution was finally adopted. 1t sets
aside March 20 and 81, April IL and
MAY IL for the purpose stated
in the resolution. The floor was then
accorded to the committee on labor, and
bills providing for extending the eight
hour law to letter-carriOrS, and referring
to the court of claims for adjustment
the accounts of government wOrkmen
and mechanics arising under the eight
hour law, were reported and discussed
until sos p. M, when the committee

REDUCTION OF EXPENSES.
The Expense of Collecting Gus

The Expense of Collecting Gus
toms Revenue Must Be Reduced.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-Estimates
made at the treasurer's department in
dictate that the present rate of expense
of collecting the revenue from customs
cannot be maintained up to the close of
the present fiscal year under the availa-
BILE balance of the appropriation with
out creating a deficiency of 100000.
Secretary Fairchild has therefore de-
termined upon reduction of expenses
to that amount during the remainder of
the fiscal year, being 100000 month.
The reduction has been apportioned
among the different customs collecting
districts, and the collectors have been
instructed to readjust their salary ac-
counts and other expenses, so as to
bring the total expense within the limit
fixed upon. AS the force cannot be re-
duced in numbers without serious Grip
ping the service, the saving can only be
effected by general reduction of sal
aries. Congress will be asked to pro-
vide for the service upon the present
basis for the balance of the fiscal year,
and if that is done the reduction will be

THE SENATE.
Principal Work Done by THAI
Body Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The fea.
ture of the day in the senate was the
debate on Mr.. Blair's bill to give
wounded Confederates preference in
appointments of persons who had been
diSloyal. The debate was participated
in by Messrs Blair, Plat. HOar, Hale,
Riddleberger, Berry, Daniel, Mander-
son and Hawley, and was very interest
ing. The bill finally went over until to.
morrow without action. Mr.. Hale pre-.
sented letter from eX-emplOyeS of
the Philadelphia postOffice asking an in
vestigation of Postmaster Harrity's
management of that Office Among the
bills reported and placed on the calen-
dar was one authorizing the secretary Of
the treasury to purchase United States
bonds with surplus money, and to pre-.
pay interest. The senate then passed
several bills, including among others
one for the relief of the ironclad build
erS, the Perines and the McKayS, and a
bill affecting the grade of Commander
in the navy, and to correct an error in
the case of the appointment of Com,
mander QuackenbuSh, and at 5:35, aftet
