MISS nowARD.s OPINION.
She Thinks the Indian Question WI
he Settled shortly.

she THINKS the Inuiau question VIII
lie settled shortly.
NEw York, Dec 22.-NIss Grace How
ard, daughter of Joe Howard the we'll
known newspaper man, has Just re.
turned to New York from Crow Creek,
Dakota. She says that the Indian trout
blescannot fail TO be settled very soon
The principal obstacle in the way Of an
immediate settlement lies in the lower
white element, with whom is the respon-
sibility Of the whole disturbance to ail ex-
tent not generally known in the East
These people welcome the troops in the
country for the reason that il puts money
in circulation.
Miss Howard has come East on her an
nual vacation of three months. Her
schoo! is situated about 0milcs from the
hostile region, boing half Why r between
Pine Ridge and Standing Rock. Among
the 300 Indians on the reservation, there
was only one man who eyer contemplated
joining the dance. White Ghost, the
chief recently wrote II very digniiicd let
ter to the Department, promising q con-
tinuancc of peaceful attitude OF his tribe
and giving az his opinion, iii the COM
munity and indians alike would join in a
prayer for rain, rather than for arms, it
would he WELL
Miss Howard condemns the Government
policy of cutting down rations without
giving some equivalent in the way of
horses, cattle or agricultural implements.
The crops have been so poor this year and
times so hard that even the white farmers
have had all they could do 90 make a
living. Among the Indians, with their
inferior advantages, the greatest distress
prevails.
The census shc'believes, was taken with
perfect fairness. Ratons were issued for
1000, while the number of Indians is
nearer 5000. But the rations are very
small. Less than a handful of coffee or
sugar is issued to each person weekly.
Clothes, blankets, etc, have been very late
in coming this year. Cold weather has set
in and the people have not received their
winter supplies. - ...,.
This very poverty stands in the yay of
continued hostilitios. The Indians may
possibly establish themselves in the Bad
Lands and make short fight but long re.
sstance is out of the question.
OF her school and mission work Mis-,
Howard has great many interesting
things to say. The children are very
bright and far more industrious.than theii
white brothers and sisters. They are quick
ut their lessons and out of school hours
almost always occupied with doll dress
making or something of the kind. Th,

The work, she said, was afteroflicc hours

The committee adjourned subject to call.
To Investigate Sitting Bulls Death
Both Mr.. Blanchard and Mr.. McAdoo
have introduced resolutions i'm the House
TO have special committee of five Repre-
sentatives appointed to investigate the
killing Of Sitting Bull.
The committee is to sit during this ses-
Il Il IN
the next Congress. Also to investigate
the Indian disturbance generally.
The idea is that the circumstances un-
der which Sitting Bull was killed by the
Indian police We're such has are not recog-
ni2ed either by the law of war or peace as
justifying the killing.

The Latest Things In Manners and
Dress.
From "NIanncrs Good and Bad at Home
and in Society" recently published by
Frederick A. Stokes 4 Co., the following
excerpts are taken:
1T is no longer good form to invite a
young woman to drive, 10 go To any place
of amusement, or indeed anywhere with
out first asking permission of her chaperon
and then inviting both, provided the
elder person accepts for her daughter or
protegee. The chaperon isallowed to sug-
gest an agreeable substitute for herself II
She is engaged or is disinclned to be Of
service to the young people.
"This recent innovation in American
etiquette has been the most disagreeable
of any social rule that has been adopted
from foreign usages. Its wisdom is reeog-
nized by those who suffer most by its eX-
actions, the chaperon of society. These
women are the real martyrs, living over
again, as they must, life with which
they were long ago satiated, smiling in the
face of all the world pretending to enjoy
plays which their intellects have out
grown, ana deafening their ears to the
chatter of the young people, which under
the most favorable circumstances must
grow tedious often. Oh, the poor chaperon!
II is the worst possible manners not to he
gratefully attentive to her"

HOUSE.


This was District day in the House.
After n roll-call on the approval of the
journal, which consumed about thirty
five minutes time and disclosed the
presence Of quorum the vote standing
lT0 yeas to . nays, Chairman Grout got
right down to business.
The first bill taken mp was that to grant
the Veteran Volunteers Fireman's AssO-
citation the use of the old cngine-hoilse
on ii, between Nineteenth and Twentieth
streets. This was carried.
A bill authorizing the sale of lot , in
square south Of 900 to Henry NJ. Baker
and John Joy Snnborn was adopted.
Mr.. 1lemphll's bill, dcdicating part Of
lots IL and Is in square Sl2 as public
alley, was passed.
Objection being made to the consdera-
ton of the bill creating the office of In
spector Of Hay, Straw, Grain and Feed
that measure was laid aside.
The bill to incorporate the Washington
and Arlington Railway Company was the
next measure to receive the attention of
the House. 1t authorizes the construction
ola street railway as follows:
Beginning at Seventh airl II streets
northwest, along h street to Virginia ave
nue., thence to'rwenty-six street, thence
ON Twonty-sixth to NJ street, along NJ
street and Canal Road to a point on the
Potomac River opposite the Three Sisters,
with authority to build and maintain n
bridge over the Potomac to the line of the
District on the Virginia side and thence
to the north western entrance to Arling-
. ton Cemetery.
The District Commissioners approved
the road. and the District Committee
unanimously recommended that the bill
pass.
An amendment was offered by DIR. At
Ii
lay its tracks on the Aqiieduct Bridge.
General Spilola got the floor to ask a
question, but, instead of doing so, made n
little speech against the bill.
General Spinola labored under the i'm
preston that II q charter were granted to
this road Arlington Cemetery would be in
some way injured.
Mr.. Atkinson replied that that was not
the case; that while the road would 20
through a part of the Arlington estate, it
would not enter the cemetery. The road
was intended to benefit poor people who
We're not able to hire carriage to ride to
Arlington.
After speeches by Messrs. Heard and
Lee in favor of the bill several amend
nients were put in.
One by Mr.. Baync, providing that the
public road at Fort Meyer should not be
used by the company, was carried
General Spinola offered an amendment
that, after the Secretary of War shall
have approved the route, he be authorized
to advertise the sale of the franchise to
the persons offering to carry passengers
at the lowest rate. This was declared out
of order.
Messrs. Blount and Morey of Ohio at
tackled the bill. The former predicted
that it would not receive the sanction OF
the Senate. :
The latter opposed il because people wert
in favor of q continuous ride from any
part of the city to Arlington for one fare
The bill was still under discussion when
this report closed. $500
General Spinola's amendment with
reference to selling the franchise was
again taken up and to the establishment
Of almost everyone 1t was passed.
