REDUCED APPROPRIATIONS.
The Quarantine Service Badly Crippled
for Want of Funds.

As result OF deficiency in the appropria-
tions nearly all the quarantine stations of the
country will have to be closed by the first Of
October. There are four or five quarantine
vessels being built that will soon be ready for
service. There is money especially provided
for their completion, but there will be no
money to run them after they are turned over
by the builders. Dr. Hamilton, surgeon
general OF the marine hospital service, asked
for an appropriation of $4,000 for the quaran-
tine service, and that amount was put in the
bill by the Senate. In conference, however,
1t was cut down to S50,000, which is insufficient
to run the service during the year. The
Chesapeake and the Delaware breakwater
stations are among those that must be closed
Inc only stations that can be kept open are the
gulf and the San Francisco stations. A hun
dred or more trained employees of valuable ex-
perience will have to be dismissed One of the
new vessels, which is to be completed in August

THE CITY POST OFFICE SITE.
What Col. Whitfield Says of the Proba.
bic Action of the Commission.

There has been no meeting Of the city post
Office commission since the subcommittee in
spected the various buildings offered for the
use OF the post-of6ce. Gen. Clarkson, who has
been out of the city for several days, has re-
turned, but Mr.. Tanner, the commissioner Of
pensions is still away. 1t is expected that the
commission will meet, soon when the report of
the subcommittee will be received.
Col. Whitfield, who is a member of the sub
committee, in speaking about the various
buildings inspected said to-day that in his
opinion the First Presbyterian church building,
on AZ street, offered better accommodations
than any of the other buildings inspected by
the committee. As has been stated in THE
STAR the other buildings offered were the old
District building, on AZ street; the Con-
gressional Globe building, on Pennsylvania
avenue, between Sd and Az streets: the
Columbia Law building, on 5th street, with the
buildings on the opposite end of the lot 'front.'
ing on 9th street, and the building at present
occupied by the city post Office:
THE FORTHCOMING REPORT
The members of the commission say that
they may not decide upon leasing any build
ing. They propose to make a report to Con-
gress stating why the authority given to the
Postmaster General to occupy the hall of TIE
Pension building was not exercised and also
ties are offered in the way of leasing a building
in this city. 1t is probable that the report will
lay stress upon the miserable quarters now oc-
cupied by the city post Office, and possibly
there Will be some recommendation in regard
to the purchase of a site and the erection of a
permanent pest office baildipg. --As-.
NO FUNDS now AvAinABfx ro.rir Up A BUILDING.
For the present fiscal year there are no funds
available for either renting or fitting up a
building except what could be taken from the
general appropriation for first and second-class
offices throughout the country. There are 6l2
OF these offices, and it is the opinion of post
office officials that only small amount could
be expended in this city if justice was done to
the needs OF other post Offices The expendi-
ture of this fund is made under the authority
of The Postmaster General. 1t is not thought
improbable that the city post Office will con-
tlnue 10 occupy its present quarters until Con-
gress takes some action authorizing the lease
of some building while new one is being built

Indians TO the fact that they .i.d b,vn sceiv-

government in the form OF annuities; that they
were becoming poorer every year; that their
game was being driven from the country, and
that the only resource open TO them was 10 ac-

THE INDIANS CONTAINED
that they were blamed for the destruction Of
their pine by fire. when. as a matter of fact
the forest fires were always set by the whites
and that Ne whites came upon their -eserya-

not allowed 10 leave their homes TO go 20 the

of the ChippO7Es that they regretted they
