Senator Moody Introduces . Bill % Settle
Claims Arising Therefrom.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-[Special.] THE
people of the entire northwest will be inter-
ested in the bill introduced by Senator
Moody, of South Dakota, to-day, provid-
ing for the adjudication of all Indian dep
relation claims. Senator Moody stated
that there was pending in the neighborhood
of $18 ,00O,OO in claims scattered through
the country which had been subject to In
dians' raids. In few days he will submit
an elaborate report, giving his reasons for
the bill. The claims have accumulated to
such an extent and in such numbers that
the committees of either house have had no
time to consider the claims and do the gov
ernment and the claimants Justice. For the
past seven or eight years efforts in congress
have been in the direction of some
general law providing for mode
of adjudicating and paying the claims.
Bills have been introduced and some passed
and now special committees have been se-
lected to take charge of this class of legis-
lation. The report will recommend the
passage of the bill of the committee, which
provides that the United States courts shall
try and adjudicate all such claims. This
gives the claimant an opportunity to go
into the United States circuit or district
court in the district in which he resides and
try his case, unless his claim is for more
than $4,000, when it goes to the court of
claims. The senate bill differs from the
bill introduced by Hermann. of Oregon, and
now pending in the house, in not creating
any more new COURTS The bill provides
that claims of Indians against whites may
be adjudicated in the same manner, testi-
mony, however, to be required from white
men. All claims for damages inflicted
prior to the approval of the act must be
duly presented within three years.

Capital Notes.

The house committee on Pacific railroads
finally decided to report favorably to the
house the Pacific railroad funding bill,
which it has had under consideration sew
eral months. The bill reported will be a
substitute for the Vandever bill, but this
substitute really is the bill reported by the
senate committee, amended in some re-
spects. The vote on reporting the
bill was seven to four. One member re-
Trained from casting vote on the ground
that he was not fully informed on the SUBJ
ject. A minority report will also be pre-
sented.
The president sent to the senate the fol-
lowing appointments: Postmasters-Ore
gon: James w. Hare, Astoria. California:
Asa L. Butler, Hollister. Wyoming: James
A. Shannon, Carbon.
As the result of the correspondence be-
tween the department of justice and the
treasury department it has been decided
to send bank to China twenty-one China
men, smu0gled into this country from
Mexico and now in custody at San Diego,
California. They will be transferred to
San Francisco and placed in the first
steamer sailing for China. This action is
taken on the theory that it is cheaper and
better for the government to bear the ex-
pense of their return to China than to send
them back into Mexico and run the chance
of having to re-arrest them and send them
back indefinitely.

expense, sixty students year at cost
of $i92 each. After four years there
will be 240 students in Rutgers provided
for at the public expense. Together
with the ordinary number of students
that Rutgers gets, that college, four
years hence, will be nearly as strong
numerically as Princeton is now. At
the end OF four years Rutgers will be
receiving nearly S43, 900 year from the
taxpayers and, instead of being in finan-
cial straits, as is now the case, it will be
self supporting.

The Liquor Question Out OF Politics:

ate which is important to many of the
smaller cities throughout the state. 1t
provides for the establishment of boards
of excise in cities ranging in population
from 10000 to 10000. This is done to
take the liquor question out of politics
to great degree. In many cities the
best men will not run for common coun-
ell because all other issues are pushed
aside and the liquor question made par
amount. The people OF Burlington and
many other cities want an excise de-
partment.
