Report From Utah's Home.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-The vice president
to-day laid before the senate tho report OF
the Utah commission on the management
of the Industrial Christian Home OF Utah
Territory. The report says up to Nov. 10,
$35, ,709 bad been expended on the build.
ing, leaving $14, ,291 OF the app1 opriation
unexpended. The commission has paid
out 81, AL for the necessary expenses OF
the home and the support of the inmates
and ther. is about $14, 900 to be expended
for furnishing the home. The home is
under the immediate management OF a
board of ladies and gentlemen OF broad and
philanthropic views, who without the hope
OF other reward than the approval OF a 60 I'd
conscience. are laboring for the rescue
and to promote the interests OF
women who have been deluded into and
wish to fee from polygamy, and seek a
home in this asylum, so bounteously pro-
vided by the government for their relief.
These ladies are courageously working to
break down the preiudices OF the Mormon
church against the institution and win the
confidence Of those for whom this shelter
is erected. The commiss ON express no
opinion as the ultimate success of the
home. This is an experiment which time
can only solve. The Mormon church is
charged with working against the institu'
tion and the belief is expressed that more
women would enter the home il the restric
tions controlling admission were less
stringent.

To Make q Report.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-The special house
committee investigating the Silcott defalca-
tion has agreed u ,on report. by the
terms OF which an appropriation will be
asked to make good the losses sustained
by the members OF the house. There is
separate bill also to be reported making
the scrgeant-at-arms the disbursing officer.
Five OF the seven of the committee, in-
cluding the chairman, hold that the SER
geant alarms was q public officer and as
an individual member was justified by
usage and official recommendation, extend
ing over many years, in 80 regarding him,
and the loss by the malfeasance OF Silcott
should be borne by the public treasury and
not by the members OF congress who have
not received the compensation to which
they are entitled by law. The committee
also holds tn the government would not
be justified in taking special deposits left
with the sergeant-at-arms for the purpose
of applying it toward the payment of the
salaries due by the government, and, there
fore, that such personal funds should be
restored to their private owners. By the
proposed pro rate arrangement those who
have regularly drawn their salaries up to
November would have the advantage oi
sharing in the amounts that the other
members had left undrawn, which the ma.
iority of the committee regard as indis
pensible.

CATION OF Sioux Indians, numbering about
fifty, now on a visit to this city. The re-
ception was held in the east room, and

DR.. Scott, Postmaster General Wanamaker

John Grass of the Standing Rock agency,
who made good natured speech to the

married, with quiet humor, that this was
not scalping visit, but merely friendly
call. His people would like, among other
things, boundary line for their reserva-
tion and better schools. Another Indian
also made an address, after which the
president spoke to the delegation through
an interpreter. II am glad" said the
president Ito meet 80 many representa-
tives of the Sioux nation. Your true in.

lobbyists would be applied in other direc-
tions, az well as to the officers of the
army and navy, whose mouths were
closed.
Cockrell expressed astonishment at hear
ing the senator from South Carolina say
that the officers OF the army and navy had
their months closed and could not ap-
proach congress. Congress was just rs
open to them to as any citizen OF the United
States. The question was, whether the
officers had the right to 60 into combina.
tion, paying a fixed fee in advance, and
agreeing to pay contingent fee.
Butler Why SHOULD not the officers do it
as well as other citizens?
Cockrell-The public will answer that
question. hold in my hand y similar cir
!cular issued q short time ago in reference
to another bill to increase the ealary OF
the officers in which it is stated that the
fee is $500 as retainer, with q contingent
fee Of $500. Such thIngs, as declared, were
a disgrace to the army and navy.
After q fnrther idiscussion by Butler,
cockfell and Call, the resolution was
Lgrsod to.
The resolution offered yesterday calling
for information as to the disposition Of
the lands OF the military reservation re-
linquished by the war department, and the
resolution offered yesterday by Coke, as to
the attack on Justice Field in California
and the killing OF Terry, were referred to

Pacific railroad funding bill, which was re-
ferred to select committee on that subject
He explained that that the bill itself was
