GIRLS REFORM SCHOOL.
Major Moore Thinks There Should be
Such an Institution In This District.

The Commissioners in reply to the request Of
Mr.. De Lano, chairman of the subcommittee
on the District OF Columbia, for an expression
OF their views on House bill 1867, ito provide
for the purchase Of site and erection Of q
building for the girls reform school," &c, to-
day forwarded the report of Major Moore upon
the subject, to whom they referred the matter.
In his report Major Moore says:
1T is my opinion that there should be in the
District OF Columbia a reform school for girls
While boys under the age of sixteen who are
convicted Of crime or misdemeanor may be
committed to reform school provided exclu-
sively for them. girls Liable to punishment by
imprisonment must be sent to the work house
or jail to grow from bad to worse and to grad
uate in crime. During the fiscal year ending
June 81, 1883, 1875 girls under sixteen wears and
az under twenty-one years were taken into Gus
tody. OF this number 263 were sent to the work
house, 81 committed to the Jail and 24l COM
plants were nolle pressed These figures do not
include girls taken from houses of Ill repute or
gathered from the streets engaged in lewdness
who were transferred to their parents in order
that they might be saved from the contaminat.
Ing influence OF the work house or Jail. There
are but two private institutions here for the
care and reformation Of evil disposed girls. and
neither has legal authority for their detention
or receives persons of color.

WHO SHOT MRS. BARNETT?
Her Son in the Police Court-He IL &c
be Examined as to His Sanity.

Mrs Julia Barnett, who was shot in the neck
Wednesday morning, is doing as well as can be
expected under the circumstances. and her re-
covery is not thought impossible. She was
getting along very nicely this afternoon.
Mrs. Barnett's son Cornelius was taken TO
the Police Court this afternoon and charged
with the assault on his mother. The prisoner
was brought before the court, but he had
nothing to say.
Policeman William Riley suggested that the
prisoner was insane and also told the court
that his mother was in the hospital and unable
to appear.
THE CASE POSTPONED TILL TUESDAY
Under the circumstances Judge Miller said
he would postpone the case until Tuesday and
in the meantime the accused could be ex-
amined as to his mental condition. Although
Mrs. Barnett had never varied from her first
statement that she was shot by q negro
yet the officers assert that the further
they proceed in the investigation
the more they are convinced that her son and
not the negro did the shooting. One officer
recalls an instance when he was called to the
house to protect the woman from violence at
the hands of her son. The policemen also saw
that Mrs. Barnett now has q black eve which
her son is responsible for.
The colored man. James Harrison, whom
Mrs. Barnett accuses of having shot her, has
not yet been arrested. The officers learned
that he came here from place near Lynch
burg, Va, and it il thought that he may have
gone back there.

The Cherokee Lands.

Chief Mayes of the Cherokee nation, who has
been in Washington for several weeks past, has
returned to the Indian territory for the pur-
pose, it is said, of calling meeting of the
Cherokee council to take some action relative
to the terms and conditions upon which they
will cede their surplus lands to the govern
ment 1t is expected that the commits
sion appointed to conduct these negotiations
with the Cherokees and the other tribes
owning lands west of the 96th parallel
will leave Washington within a short time
to resume their duties, hence Chief Mayes'
hasty return. 1t is stated that the Indians viii
strongly insist upon the government surrender
ing its right to settle friendly tribes the ter
ritory east OF the 96th parallel, as in the event
of its acquiring all Of the Indian lands in the
territory west of that line the remaining lands
will be wholly inadequate for the maintenance
OF the tribes which would be located thereon.
The Cherokees will insist upon each tribe hav-
ing diminished reservation set apart for itself

CAPITOL TOPICS.
ALIENS IN THE NAVY.


The committee on naval affairs today directed
a favorable report on the McAdoo bill to pre-
vent the enlistment of aliens in the navy. The
bill prohibits the enlistment of aliens who are
not naturaliZed or who have not declared in
tention, and also prohibits the re-enlistment
OF the aliens III the navy at present unless they
become naturaliZed- Admiral Porter has
written to the committee saying that we are
enlsting as seamen twenty foreigners to one
American. and he points out the danger of the
service liable to arise from the predominance
OF aliens. Mr.. McAdoo says that if the diff
Guilty at Samoa had resulted in actual hOstilities
Bismarck would have claimed very large per-
centage of the seamen on board the American
squadron, and that the result might have been
extremely disastrous. Mr.. McAdoo says there
is no doubt about the bill passing the House.

THE DANIELS AMENDMENT.
Considerable attention, it is stated, was PAID
to Senator Daniels amendment providing fol
a celebration in this city and in New Yoyk har
Dor, prior to the opening Of the exposition in
Chicago. This plan, it is said, meets with con.
siderable resistance from the Chicago men
who consider that the carrying out of such G
program would detract considerably from the
proceedings at Chicago. No definite conclu
sions, it is stated, were reached today.
CHICAGO MEN UNEASY.
The Chicago folks are made very uneasy by
the development of opposition to them in TIE

The meeting began at 10 o'clock and lasted
until 2. All the members were present except
Stanford and Ransom. It was decided or
the start that the principal
proposition had better be disposed Of before
taking up the Daniel amendment. This course
was followed. The committee adjourned until
