strike out the paragraph. The register of

mat boys who enlist in the navy must

Zee went 70 the register of wills for
appointing guardians where none were on

Breckinridge thought the plan Of sending

Of late why the District was DISTINGUISHED. The
vote had been left. he said. with the CITY so
long as the white people alone had the right 10
vote, but rs soon as the colored man had
the right to vote, why then both white and
black we're DISTINGUISHED. The CITY was dis

Col Whitfield, the first assistant, stated that
it was customary to obtain permission from the
department when post Office Was 10 be closed

ferred TO the following paragraph in the regu-
lation:
''Postmasters may observe as holidays Janu-
airy l, July 4. December IS and such other DAYS
as the President Of the United States or the
governors in their respective states may desig-
nate as fast or thanksgiving days or proclaim
specially ss holidays
VIOLATION OF Usage.
He said, however, that if the post Office at
Atlanta was closed yesterday, a. stated, II was
done in violation OF the usage Of the depart
ment even If this action was in accordance
with the letter Of the regulations. 1t is not
known whether the post Offices in other cities

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
A Clergyman's Views and the Indian Com
missioner's Reply.

A Clergyman's Views and the Indian Com
missioner's Reply.
Secretary Noble has received the following
letter from Rev. J. W. Wright, the pastor
of a Methodist church in town in Kansas:
II feel that We ought to do better with this
Indian problem. First. they ought not to have
arms at all now that hunting grounds are a
thing Of the past. Put an end TO the greed of
traders by forbidding sales of arms or ammu-
milton.
secondly. The agents or some rascals usually
steal great amount of the supplies. The ap-
preparations are ample, but the supplies are
stolen. Can you not find some honest men for
agents rather than cheap politicians. nine out
Of ten of whom will steal the supplies? II you
can get rid of the thieves in the Indian depart
ment and the attorneys in the pension depart
ment you will confer lasting favor on two
classes Of unfortunates, who cannot speak for
themselves"
COMMISSIONER NoRoANs REPLY.
This letter was referred by Secretary Noble
to Indian Commissioner Morgan and the latter
replied as follows:
Il am glad that you feel enough interest in
the Indian problem to write such a letter and
l am always open to suggestions in matter in
which am SO greatly interested and where
have SO much responsibility.
in reference to the sale Of arms to the In
dams by the traders, allow me to say that they
are prohibited by law from such sale and % far
as this Office can learn they obtain their arms
from white men outside. II YOU know person
ally Of such sales being made by traders the
Office will be glad to be informed Of the same
'In reference to the second statement that
agents or some rascals usually steal great
amount of the supplies allow me to say that
il you know personally of such misdoings this
Office will be greatly obliged if you viii give
particulars as to men, places, dates. &C., &c.
The President has taken great pains in the ap-
pointment Of agents, and 30 far as this ONCE
knows those now employed are honest, up-
right men, who are not open to such criticism
II you have other and different informa-
tion-and cannot think you would
make such sweeping charges on other
than you believe reliable information-or II YOU
know personally and indisputsbly of such .
state Of things, this Office will be greatly
obliged for full particulars and win act accord
ingly. Such charges should be investigated
promptly. that If just they may be riehted. Il

I'm view Of the knowledge of the matter that
you seem 70 have ask that I may hear from
you IS coon as convenient

Market and Low Prices.
PIrTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 2O.-Word has been re-
ceived in this city that nearly dozen window
glass factories have shut down on account of
an overstocked market and low prices The
United Glass Company has shut down all the
factories under its control and other outside
factories are expected to follow. This depres-
sion is attributed partly to the failure Of the
proposed consolidation to be called the Ameri-
can Glass Company. Secretary Leffier of the
Window Glass Association attributes the failure
Of this scheme to the wide publicity given to it
in the newspapers.

ASSAULTS by POLICEMEN.
Judge Miller Makes some Remnants on the
subject.

Policeman William 7. Hendricks Of the SEC
ond precinct was tried in the Police Court to-
day, charged with having assaulted a colored
man named William Pryor. The alleged as
sault occurred while Pryor was under arrest.
The complainants daughter went 20 the police
station the night OF the trouble and asked the
officers For Gods sake come TO the house
papa is killing mamma"
Later on the officer called az the house. and
after having some words with PRYOR who had
been drinking, went in the house, and in max
ing the arrest he used his club on rryors head.
When the latter was tried in the Police Court
the care was dismissed and then Pryor svore
out warrant for the officer.
After hearing the proof Judge Miller had
something TO say about policemen making al
rests. Referring TO other cases the court said
that officers had been tried for lack Of di.cre-
ton, but the court can't undertake 20 control
their discretion. There has to be willful as-
sault before the court can tine them and when
that is shown the court will certainly impose Q
fine.
In this case. the court said. il is Different
The officer had no warrant and not having seen
Pryor assault his wife he had no right to make
an arrest. When an officer enters house with
out the proper authority he has not the legal
support that he has when he has q warrant
The judge said he would uphold the officers 10
the last letter Of the Law in their
efforts TO preserve the peace and prevent
trouble. Speaking Of case where an offscer
has right TO arrest. the judge said that in al
cases when the offense is triable an the Police
Court upon information the offense IL q mis-
demeanor and the arrest can only be made
upon sight or with a warrant
Il have tried 20 impress this upon the Off
GERS, said the judge. land do hope that thus
is the last time thai there will be any occasion
to tell them"
There was in the existing case. he thought
sufficient justification for him to interfere and
Pryor ought 10 have gone along quietly. Tia
charge was dismissed
