No End of Postal Work.

WASHINGTON, Dec. sS.-[Special. THE
delegations from the new states are hav-
ing no end Of work at the postoffice de-
partment. In addition to the postmasters
to be appointed they are interested in a
more systematic mail delivery service.
The congressman from Washington, Ore
gon and Montana have the greatest amount
of work to look after, though to consid-
cradle degree what is true in their cases is
true of the representatives from the two
Dakotas. The growth of the country there
has been SO rapid that the postal facilities
have not kept up. Not only that fact, but
the fact that during the last administration
it was the policy to curtail rather
than increase the service, gives an
opportunity to do good deal
of work toward getting the new states as
nearly on par with the older ones as
possible. In addition to what they had to
say on the subject in their annual reports
the officials at the p0stoffice department
here have given assurance that liberal
policy will be followed in making out the
map Of post roads in the new states,
Speaker Reed in making up his committees
saw fit to keep in line with this policy by
giving two of the new statesmen, Carter
and Wilson, places on the committee Of
postofices and post roads.

Report Of the sioux Commission.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. ~ [Special.]-
It1is believed that the report of the Sioux
commission, which will be out in few
days, will recommend important changes
in the system Of the education of Indians.
The industrial training schools for In
dians in the eastern states and elsewhere,
away from the reservations, may not alto
gether like what the Sioux commission will
have to say OF education in its report. Ac-
cording to the summary of it made public,
probably they will consider, to begin with,
that the members of that commission have
wandered out Of their province in discuss
ing this subject. lnasmuch as they were
appointed to purchase Sioux lands, but as
fact it tured out that a good deal of the
debate on this purchase turned on the OBJ
legation Of the government to provide
schools. The commission arelunderstood
to hold that the reservations are the prop
erty sites for educational institutions
and the money now expended on
the Carlisle and other eastern
schools would be more productive
of good If these institutions were estab-
.lished near the tribes. The eight schools
at Carlisle, Pa, Lawrence, Kas, Genoa,
Neb., Chillacco, Indian territory, Chemewa,
Ore, HAMPTON, Va, at Philadelphia and
Flathead reservation in Montana, have q
capacity for little more than 1000 pupils.
The annual cost to the government is
about $4,000. The Indians who have
been here ask that schools be built on the
reservations, saying that the expense Of
taking their children to schools away from
the reservation is SO great that the aggre-
gate would soon build school houses on
their reservations. The report OF the com.
mission discusses the situation as regards
the Indians In Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Montana, Washington, Oregon, California
and the Indian reservations. In this con-
necti0n the words Of Secretary Noble to
the chiefs may be significant. After listen.
ing to their requests for more schools, he
said: 81 have been glad to hear SO much
spoken in regard to schools. I am glad
you have said as much about schools as

The California Mine Disaster.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 2.-Further particulars
have been received from San Andreas,
CAL, OF the cave-in of the Lane mine at
Angeles. Sixteen men are supposed to be
dead. Nine were sent into drift on a
4O0-foot level TO repair some timbering.
They had not worked over an hour when,
the supports of the upper timbers sudden
ly swerved to the right and the roofing,
earth and rocks fell, burying sixteen men
underneath the debris. Thomas Corwin,
and two Italians were working near the
mouth of the drift and managed to escape,
although Corwin was badly injured. Cor
win said the partitions were leaning badly
when he went into the drift, but no one
suspected that there was any danger of q
cave. When it came they were all unpre-
pared. He and the Italians escaped as
soon as they heard the timbers crack. The
others also started to run but were too far
in the drift to be able to reach a place Of
safety. Immediately after the accident
men were lowered down the shaft and
entering the mouth of the drift commenced
digging into the debris. Last evening the
rescning party had succeeded in getting
eight feet into the pile of earth and timber
and nine of the victims had been reached.
There is no prospect of getting them out
alive.
