THE ABORIGINAL AMERICANS.

The Ameriique Indians, who were
visited not long ago by Mr.. j. Craw-
ford, State Geologist of Nicaragua,
occupy hilly region of the rich
gold mining section OF La Libertad,
Nicaragua. These Indians are six
feet six inches to six feet eight
inches tall, active and apparently
strong and healthy. They are dying
out rapidly, however, and are now
estimated to number not more than
275 or 800 individuals. They live
in painless forests, and their chief
occupation is to tap certain trees for
rubber, which they carry on their
backs to traders 100 miles away.
They have cleared some ground for
corn, planting this in holes made
with pointed sticks. A few Jumps
of melted gold are found among
them, and it is inferred that the In
dams of this localityi mined and
melted this metal before the discov-
cry of Nicaragua by Columbus.
They believe in mighty prophet.
who appeared in their territory in
very ancient times, and whose form
has been seen on a mountain top by
some of the older Indians.

1ected in two equal sets in series,
he two sets being connected in

surface of about two square feet for
ZACH plate. The working potential
If the battery is $50 volts, aud when
discharged at the rate of Alb amperes

'harged from a 500 horse power
lirect current dynamo or from 200

cry current of $50 volts and sup
lies it for use as an alternating cur
ent of 1000 volts, By another

Office. and in the course of his remarks at
tributed the recent Indian outbreak to a great
degree. TO the inability of the Indian Office to
respond promptly to demands made on il.
Mr.. Butterworth said that this was the first
time ne had heard that Indian outbreaks were
on account CT a scarcity of clerks in the Office
1t was not an insuficiency of clerks, but an
lnsuthciency of food which had given rise
TO the recent troubles. There were almost
as many clerks now ~ there were Indians.
Mr.. Rogers lark, while disclaining sny
special knowledge on the subject, thought that
the clerical force shonld be increased.
Mr.. Perkins said that he did not mean to
suggest that the Indien war was precipitated
by lack OF clerks, but q want of proper force
IN the office to consider contracts there pend
Ing embarrassed its work and prevented prompt
supplies being given to the Indians.
Mr.. Perkins amendment was lost.
MR.. COOPER ON THE PENSION OFFICE.
In speaking to the pension Office paragraph.
Mr.. Cooper Qnd.) made an attack upon the su-
perintendent of the pension building, asserting
that he had stored several hundred Of bushels
OF potatoes in the pension Office and sold them
10 employees, thus turning a government de-
partment into a huckstering establishment.
Mr. Enloe l1enn. attacked the administra-
ment reducing to s., 900 the salary Of the COM
missioner.
GEN. RAUM DEFENDED.
Mr.. Perkins (Kan.) came to the support of
Commissioner Raum, declaring that no more
faithful, efficient, honest and capable man ever
presided over the pension Office than the pres
ent commissioner His only fault seemed to
be that he was gentleman and had
been q Union soldier. He (Mr. Per-
kinsl protested against the accusations
lndulged in without foundation and which
In his judgment were untrue.
Mr.. Enloe replied that he pursued no man
from any personal motive or because that man
had been a Union soldier. He had asked for an
Investigation because charges (Which he be-
heved to be justifaDle) had been made against
Commissioner Raum. If such charges
had been made against him (Mr. Enloe) he
would have demanded a complete investigation.
He would have had an investigation worth
something or no investigation at all. He with
drew the amendment.

fiscal year." said Auditor Petty TO STAR re-
porter this morning, 'including the sum pay
able by the United States OF nearly S4O0 COO,
has been the cause of great anxiety to the
Commissioners and the several heads CT de-
partments charged with the duty of disburs-
ing the various appropriations. 1t has been
evident to them," continued Mr.. Petty, ''for
some months past that unless some plan of re-
lief could be adopted many important public
works would of necessity be abandoned, if in
deed it might not be necessary to retrench in the
matter of salaries. In view of these facts il is
not strange that some of the amendments made
in the District bill as reported TO the Senate

faction. I have watched this matter with great
attention and am pleased with the provisions
crediting back to the general fund the amounts
paid for the 4S-inch main and the estab-
lishment and maintenance of the Geological

President Of the United States the following
reply in answer to their address of January 81:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, February 4, 1891.
Gentlemen: ] have received by the hand of
Senator Hoar the communication addressed to
me by the officers Of the Cambridge Civil
Service Reform Association, and in reply beg
to say that your suggestions will have my
respectful attention Your reference to the
recent outbreak among the Sioux as atfording
convincing evidence of the necessity of a change
in the manner Of appointing the officials Of
the Indian bureau leads me to say that have
not found in q very full examination of all the
facts, from all sources, evidence Of any de-
terioration in the Indian service. On the
other band the board Of Indian commissioners

the Indian service 10 now in better condition
than ever before" The object of their COM
municstion was to urge the extension of civil
service rules to the Indian service but they
were careful to recognize that the argument
was not to be found in any special or recent
incident but in the broader fact that the work
among the Indians is educational and philan-
thropic, and should therefore be separated
special appeal had been made to me from any
source the subject Of including Indian agency
clerks and employees in the classified service

Senator Elect Brice Denies That Psbaished
Report.

CINCINNATI, ONO, Feb. 12--senAtor-elect
Brice arrived here last night and went direct To
the Queen City Club, where he remained all
night. With him were Chairman Phelps of the
Illinois democratic state executive committee,
Messrs. Bradbury and Baker of the Lake Erie
and Western Railroad Company and DIR. \. A.
Baxter Of Lima, Ohio, the latter gentleman be-
ing interested with Mr.. Brice in many Of his
Ohio enterprises.
Mr. Brice denied TO all callers the Newspaper
statement that he was going south to join Jay
Gould and Gen. Thomas on their inspection
trip of the Richmond Terminal and other south
ern railways recently acquired by Mr.. Gould
He had nothing to say about the stories that he
was about to ''gather in" the Monon or had
already done so. and he did not seem particu-
larly interested when the conversation drifted
into national politics. Mr. Brice, accompanied
by DIR. Baxter and the officers of the Lake Erie
and Western, left this morning over the South
ern for Chattanooga
At the club il was the understanding that
Mr. Brice would be back again before the latter
part of the week. MIR. Brice's presence in town
last night sets at naught the story ths. he =
going south TO join bay Gould.
