WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-John +.
Mayhugh, until recently a special CEN
sus agent OF the Indians for Nevada. has
written to the Indian Bureau on the
subject of the coming of the Indian Mes
siah. In the letter he says: The pro-
phct resides in Mason Valley. Esmer-
ALTA County, Nevada, close to the Wal
ker River reservation. His name is not
Johnson Sides at Reno, but CAPTAIN
Jack Wilson, and is known among all
the Indians by the Indian names of
We-vo-kar and Co-wc-lo. lie is an in
telllgent. fine looking Indian, about 35
years of age, who goes into seeming
trances-and seemingly so from twelve
to fourteen hours-in the presence of a
large number Of Indians.
Upon the invitation of the prophet
upon his recovery he related to them he
had been to heaven and that the Mes
slad is coming to the earth again and will
put the Indians in possession Of tins
country; that he has seen in heaven q
hcap OF Indians, some Ofwhom are dres-
scd IN white mans clothes. lie cOun-
sells the Indians not no disturb the white
folks, saying that the blanket or rabbit
skin that was put over the moon by the
Indians long ago will soon fall off and
the moon, which is now a-frc. will dcs-
troy the whites.
1.-THE Messiah is to appear on Mount
Grant, which is q very large mountain
held by the Indians to be sacred and
situated about sixteen miles South of
the Walker River agency buildings and
on the West side of the Lake. Here is
where the first Indians appeared, accord.
ing to Indian tradition. Mayhugh says
he understands the various tribes expect
to send delegations to this mountain,
and he recommends they be allowed to
visit the mountain to see for themselves
what truth there is in the prophecy"

WASHINGTON, September 22d Although
a meeting of the Conference Committee on
the tariff bill was called for this morning,
when the hour of meeting arrived the
Democratic members were notified there
would be no meeting. The reason for the
postponement is a desire OF the part of the
Republican conterrees to consult further
among themselves. There appears to have
been no progress made since Saturday IN
the disposition of sugar, binding Irvine, the
bonded period and metal amendments, but
these are in such shape that if an
agreement can be reached upon one, it will
probably result in an agreement upon the
Others.
At late hour tonight it was the conf
dent expectation of the Republican con-
frerees.on the tariff bill that Wednesday or
Thursday at the latest, will witness the
opening of the debate on the conference
report. While the three disputed questions
of most importance = sugar, binding
Irvine and steel duties-are not settled, the
conferees are near enough TO warrant them
in saying they had no doubt that some
basis of agreement would be reached to-
morrow. The bonding period, about which
there has been so much talk, has been def
nitely settled for February 1st. There is
thought to be good reason TO predict that
the free sugar standard will be placed at
13, and not at 16, as proposed by the House;
that compromise generally favorable TO
the House rates will be the outcome of the
dispute over various items in the metal
schedule, and that binding Irvine also will
be the subject of compromise. The
Southern Republican Congressman have
adopted resolutions, declaring it essential
to the interests of their constituents that
the tax on tobacco should be left as fixed
by the House.
Ex-Congressman Frank L. Mercy, of
Louisiana, died in this city this morning of

WASHINGTON, September 22d.-T The Senate

modification of the bill having the same title,
which was vetoed by the President-the Sen
ate bill relative to the Pancho Punta de la La

Plumb offered a resolution which was agreed
to, calling on the Secretary of the Interior TO
report whether the lands granted the State OF
California on certain conditions by the Act OF

otherwise diverted from the public use conten,-

to the Constitution in relation TO the manu-

portation and sale of alcoholic liquors was
reached, and Blair called for vote.
Cockrell asked that the committee reports be
read, and as the reading occupied what was
left of the hour assigned to the calendar, no
vote was taken on the resolution.
The Senate then resumed consideration Of the
bill to define and regulate the jurisdiction of
Courts of the United States, the pending ques-
ton being on Daniels amendment extending
the Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. 1t was
rejected.
Vest offered a substitute for the bill, proposing
three divisions OF the Supreme Court, of three
Justices each, the Chief Justice to make as
signments to these divisions; that all final de-
cisions OF these divisions be considered by the
Court and they shall require the concurrence
of five Justices. aSa '~'s' $5l
