When the reading clerk to-day came
to the few names men toned In the river
and harbor bill in Washington state he
stumbled over them, and mispro.
nounced them, as II they were Russian,
instead of sof, calling Indian names.
Washington has got but very lit
tlo in the bill, only enough to
show that the state has rivers
aud harbors. The delegation rely
upon the efforts of oil the senator's not
satisfied with the bill to amend some
sections, which show that they have
been ill.treated. In tho senate one state
has as many votes as another, and II Is
more than likely that the bill will be
amended, so that instead of the pal,ry
amount given to Washington 1t is quite
probable that sufficient sums will be ap-
propriatcd to give the state improved
navigation.

In the house to-day Mr.. Mckinley, OF
Ohio, submitted the conference report
upon the customs administrative bill.
MIR. McMillin, Of Tennessee, one OF his
confreres, said that he declined to agree

lieved the bill would increase taxation
outside Of the sugar schedule, the tarin
bill increased tue duties an average OF
5s per cent. The pending measure would
raise tho average between 90 and 10 per
cent, This would result in preventing
imports, the closing OF the custom
houses and the destruction of conf
merce.
Mr.. Mckinley said the measure was
substantially the bill recommended by
the secretary OF the treasury OF the last
three administrations, and was practl-
cally the same as tho Mills bill. IL
was bill not TO increase the rates OF
duty, but to prevent frauds upon the
revenue.
The conference rcpor, was adopted

Was no such an annual production of
silver in the world--142, 600, 900 ounces. OF
which all but 81 10000 ounces were

that score. There was only one other
point OF apprehension namely, that
there was am accumulated stock of sill
yer that would rush TO America as soon
as the mints were opened TO free coinage.
This was answered by the secretary Of
the treasury himself who stated In his
report: "Ihcre Is no known accumula-
tion OF silver bullion anywhere
In the world" All silver
should be admitted TO free
coinage. and all silver being so admitted
TO a value equal with gold. II was most
reasonable TO conclude that as soon as
the restoration occurred nn enlargement
OF the worlds volume OF money would
ensue, and tho prices of those things
that had gone down with ito decline
would again have a tendency TO rise
with its ascension.
At the close OF Mr.. Daniels speech the

rNOCH's LAND.
The Work of UnraveiinE the Porpiez
tiles In the Case.

WAsHISeros, May GA group of
six prominent men were busy for sew
oral hours at the interior department to-
day looking up evidence to assist in the
hearing tomorrow on case involving
about S7,OOO,000 worth of properly in
Spokane Falls. They were: Senator
Squire, Representative Wilson, and
James n. Glover, A. a. Newbery. w.
II. Taylor and l.. u. Hyde, of Spokane
Falls. The case has aroused great
deal OF interest, owing to the great prop
erty involved.
The hearing Is to determine the status
OF tract Of land formerly occupied by
Indian Enoch at the time the Northern
Pacific hled its map of definite loca-
tion. The Northern Pacific purchased
the improvements he had made
for 81, 600. The land was within the
limits OF the company's grant, and
whether or not It was excepted from the
grant depends on the facts. as to Enoch' s
standing. II he had renounced his
tribal relations and was entitled 10 sct-
tie as a citizen, 1t was excepted.
The Spokane men decline to say just
what evidence they have on tho question
ia advance Of its presentation TO the
secretary. They appear for the property
holders. General Solicitor McNaught,
with Hon. A. II. Garland, will speak on
behalf OF the company.
At the department several points have
been Investigated. The fact that tho
Northern Pacific company paid the
Indian 5000 for his improvements
was made the subject Of special
note in the annual report
Of Indian Commissioner Pierce in 1873,
and that official considered that the In
dian had no valid title. Tho report
says; This company, desiring these
lands, offered to pay Enoch for his i'm
proyemonts, notwithstanding the fact
that he had no valid title"
1t was further stated to-day that In q
treaty made two or three years before
the date OF the filing Of the map Of
definite location Enoch signed 1t as
chief or his tribe, so at that time he had
not in his own mind given up his tribal
relations. M
In view Of the magnitude Of tho in.
terests Involved, Secretary Noble will
give mis- particular attention to tho case,
and will 10 aidod by the best legal talent
which the department. affords.
