IN the bill introduced by Senator Mood "
OF south Dakota, day, providing for
the adiudicating of the Indian de predn
tion claims. Senator Moody stated that
there were pending In tho neighborhood
oiSls,OO,OOO In claims scattered 1 Ia rough.
out the country which had been subject
10 Indian raids.
Senator Moody, In few days. will
submit an elaborate report, giving ,he
reasons for the present bill. IL will be q
history Of the provisions OF the acts OF
congress relating to tho guaranty by
tho government OF the payment OF India
depreciation claims, and what has taken
place hereunder. Claims to the extent
oiS2n0ooO were paid before 1S,O. All
The established claims were paid out of
the treasury without any special appro.
priation by congress. IL will further
snow the reasons for tho policy which
the government adopted Ms early as 100
ana which 1t pursued until 1850, and
which policy IL resumed In ls72, but
Tor which congress failed to make
the requisite appropriations to carry
out. The loans have accumulated to
such an extent and in such numbers
that the commissioners Of either house
nave had no time to consider the claims
and do the government or the claimants
Justice. For the past seven or eight
years efforts In congress have been In
tho direction Of some general law pro-
viding for mode of adjudicating and
paying these claims. Many bills have
been introduced, and sonc passed, and
now special commissioners have been
selected 10 take charge Of this class of
legislation.
The report will recommend the pas
ssge Of the bill of the committee, which
provides that the United States courts
shall try and adjudicatc oil such claims.
This gives the claimant an opportunity
to 10 into the United States circuit
court or district court In which he re
