Pet Indians.
WASHINGTON, March 6th.-A few days ago
General Howard addressed a letter to Chair
man Perkins of the House Committee on Indian
Affairs, in relation TO the matter of the proposed
transfer of the Apache Indians from Mount
Vernon Barracks to Fort sill, which the COM
mittee is considering.
General Howard expressed himself to the
effect that he thought, inasmueh as General
Niles had had his say before the committee, 1t
should give General Crook an opportunity to be
heard.
General Howard also expressed the opinion
that the Indians should be removed from their
present location either to Fort Sill or to the
Cherokee lands in North Carolina, but his judg-
ment was that Fort Sill was a better place
Chairman Perkins made the following reply (;
81 am in receipt of your letter, and in reply
l have to inform you that it is not the desire OF
the Committee on Indian Affairs to become q
party in any way to controversy or feeling
that seems to exist between the friends OF Ger-
eIal Crook and the friends of General Miles.
Some things have already been said before our
committee that had no relevancy to the que.
ton that we desired TO consider, and, so far as
the committee is concerned, will have no lnhu-
ence with US in our deliberations. We have
General Crooks recommendations, and also
have been addressed by members of his stah
and by those who believe with him, that the
Apaches can be safely confined on the Fort Sill
Reservation. and we heard General Miles and
delegates and representatives from New Mexico
and Arizona who think it would be unwise to
remove the Indians to the Indian Territory.
THE desire of the committee is only TO do
what is fair and right in the matter, and what
seems to be for the good of these Indians. and at
the same time fair to the people of the Terrific
ries. believe much of the fear that is enter
tanned by the settlers of New Mexico and Ari-
zona is an exaggerated fear, but while consider
ing the good of the Indians, think IL is but
right to take into consideration the wishes and
interests of thousands of settlers who are living
in these Territories, and who have their homes
there, who assert that since the removal of the
Apaches they have enjoyed their first security
as settlers in these Territories
Whether their fears are exaggerated and ex-
cited or not, think it is the duty of the COM
mittee to realize that they exist, and under such
circumstances it becomes quite important for US
to determine whether in moving them to Fort
Sill we will not, to some extent at least, sacrifice
the comfort and prosperity of the people of Ari-
zona and New Mexico.
.'Old Mexico is also opposed to their removal
to the Fort Sill reservation, but the committee
has not yet determined what action to take in

Canadian Parliament Stirred Up by Har-
risOn's Proclamation

rison's PROCLAMATION.
OTTAWA, March 6th.-In Parliament last night
Hon. Peter Mitchell, ex-Minister OF Fisheri $
asked the Government if they were officially
aware OF the issue Of proclamation yesterday
by Pres dent harrison regarding the restriction
as to the Behring Sea fisheries
Sir John Thompson, Mini.t ter of Justice said
the Government was aware of it. There was no
cause for alarm, however, on the part of Canada
as the proclamation was an annual one, author
lied by the United States statutes He had been
assured that 1t had no special significance as 70
the present relations, or any bearing on the ne
EQUATIONS now going on at Washington He
could say, from advices received by the Govern
ment, that the latter were being conducted as
iayorablv as could 6e expected.
Hon Wilfred Maurier, the leader of the ] Id.
eral party, said the proclamation referred to
Behr1ng sea unlimited, and not to the part pur-
chased oF the United States from Russia ex-
clusiyely. He asked If the Governments were,
IL the interest OF the Dominion, going 70 take
any action.
Several other members spoke excitedly on
the subject, and urg' d the Government to au-
thorize Minister of Fisheries Upper, who is at
present at Washington. to inquire Of Secretary
Blaine what the meaning of the proclamation
was. in the face Of the fact that negotiations
were III progress for the final settlement of The
whole question.
sir John Thompson assured the House again
tnat there was no cause for alarm and no
significance was attached to the publication of
the proclamation.
Mitchell denounced the Government in a
strong speech for their iuaction, and said there
was a palpable bowing of the knee TO the
United States. Canada's interests were being
sacrificed by the wholesale in the endeavor OF
the Government to settle the matter. peace
or no peace declared he, I'VE should stand up
for our rights, and not allow the United states
to have everything in their own favor"
The Government made no reply.
There is much excitement here over the proc
lamation, and a member said TO your CORE

negotiations are going on for a peaceful settle
ment of the matter, the issue of the proelama-

greatest catastrophes ever known in the way of
snowslides occurred last night, five miles east OF

the high line division of the South Park Rail
road, in which two passenger trains came near
being wiped away. The train going west was
running in two sections. The first section got
stuck in the snow al Wall Cut, and section two
came up with more powerful engine to pull
out the first section. The roadmaster, P. Dob

FUTURE OF THE NEGRO.

CHARLESTON Is. c.. March 6th.-John r.
Lynch, the colored politician of Mississippi
made an address here last night in which he
spoke of the moral, religious and educational
spects, he said, the race has made material pro-
gress, but could have and would have made
more progress had the different religious de-
nominations among the whites rendered them
the necessary assistance.
The speaker then touched upon the labor
question, and admitted that the race has less to
complain of in this respect at the South than at
the North, although public sentiment is more
favorable at the North. This, he said is due
more to custom than to race prejudice, the in
stitution of slavery being the foundation of the
custom Education is one of the most pressing
needs of the race and he therefore hoped that
some such measure as The Blair educational bill
would be passed by the present Congress-
The speaker then discussed the race question
at length. He contends that there is no such
thing as race issue. There is veryBlittle antip-
athy between the two races. The troubles at
the South are due more 70 political difference
than to race animosity. The white and colored
people are bound together with ties of love that
cannot be destroyed.
The colored race is indebted to the white race
for the rights and privileges they enjoy to-day
in the Constitution. he strongly condemned
and denounced all schemes looking to the de-
portation of colored people from the United
States and from the South.

BERLIN, March 6th.-The retirement of Prince
Bismarck from ofiic al relations with imperial
affairs within as snort a time as possible is now
said to be settled. The matter has been de-
cided, but it is not easy TO carry out the pro-
gramme. The great difficulty is in relation to
the future organization of the Chaneellorship.
1t is impossible TO find any other single man
who would be able TO adequately replace the
Chancellor.

make considerable trouble when the man who
induced them to become a part OF the German
empire shall have removed his strong hand and

Bismarck has promised to remain at his post
until this matter is settled. The means Of ac-
complishing this will probably be the substitu-
tion of a number of independent ministries in
place of the pes Mt imperial Chsncellorship,
thus preventing any change of palitical bias in
favor of any one state or group of Independent
States.
