Only Fifty Days of the Session
Are Unc0nsumed.
SENATE HAS DONE NOTHING
Republican Caucus Will Probably
Settle Fate of Elections Bill.
Night Sessions tn Be Tried Before Clo-
ture is Attempted-Opposition to
Shipping BiIl-Appropriations I'm
touched by the House.

WASHINGTON Cry. Jan. 4.--It begins to
be apparent that the present unsatisfac-
tory state of affairs in the Senate must
soon be terminated. Fifty working days
will end the life of the Fifty-tirst congress,
and the trst of the regular annual appro-
priation bills remain 10 be acted upon by
the Senate. The feeling of impatience
which this condition of the public business
has aroused has gathered strength every
day, and the significant remarks uttered
in debate last week by senator's of recog-
niZed influence appear TO have had the
effect of bringing the Senate nearer to Il
change of the programme that has held
sway since congress met in December last.
A caucus of Republican senators is TO be
held probably Monday evening, and it is
confidently expected by most of the Re
publican senators that. as result of it, be-
fore the week expires the crisis will have
been carried with respect TO the elections
bill, and the Senate will have arrived at a
clear understanding of what course it is to
pursue for the remainder of the session.
The lines of battle are narrowing, and
there is q gathering of forces. Absent Re-
publican senators have been requested to
return, and preparations are making on
both sides of the chamber for the final
struggle. A part of the campaign, il is
believed, will be "a series of night sessions,
designed TO test the efficacy of the old
methods of passing bill obnoxious to the
minority, as well as to secure the adoption
of the cloture rule, if il be decided to press
this measure. 1t is expected, however, that
this order viii not be made before Tues
day, as a night session Monday would in
r1..I I..uf
In the House, tomorrow, it is ''individ-
ual suspension day" and members will be
given an opportunity to pass measures OF
local interest.
Chairman Farquhar will call up the
shipping bill Tuesday. Its friends pro-
pose to allow two days for consideration,
but determined effort will be made by
the opposition to defer final action on the
bill as long as possible, in the hope of de-
feating it in this manner, without running
the risk of hnal vote on the passage of
the BILL There is prospect that the con-
sideration of the shipping bill may be an
tagonized by the appropriation bills, and
that the former measure may not secure
the door.
Friday viii be devoted to bills ON the
private calendar. 1t is expected TO fill in
any time during the week not devoted to
the shipping bill and special orders, with
the appropriation bills, four of which are
on the calendar awaiting consideration,
Chairman Cutcheon of the military affairs
committee having the right-of-way with

A reporter tonight called the attention
OF the commissioner to reports from Pine
Ridge, saying that General Miles had
recommended the removal of the Indian
agents at Pine Ridge to other places, and
TO the statement that the Indians were
slowly starving to death. The
commissioner said that so far
as the agents were concerned
there was nosevidence that there had been
any dishonesty on their part in distribut-
ing supplies. The commission has SUBJ
mitted 10 the president a statement cover
ing the question of the charges made that
the agreements with the Indians had not
been fulfilled.
FoRT YATES, n. D., Jan. 4-Brief dis
patches from Mandan last night did not in
dlcate how serious the detection of the
young bucks from Standing Rock
agency had become. The discovery
was made on issue day that many did
not come TO the agency, and one of the
triendlies said they had armed themselves
and gone to join the bands in revolt. 1t is
believed here that there have been 900
desertions.
The Grand River Sioux have been
fonenting trouble ever since the death of
Sitting Bull, and they have not been slow
in manifesting their anger toward
Agent Mclaughlin. They have been
disposed TO resent the killing
at the first opportunity. The dispatch at
the time, which stated that number of
Indians were glad Sitting Bull had been
removed, was greatly exaggerated.
Troops are being rapidly moved in diff
ferent directions to aid in squelching the
uprising.

WAR IN THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.
Natives Hate Their Spanish Rulers and
Seek to Exterminate the Whites.


Seek to Exterminate the whites.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Especial. Late
adyices from the Caroline islands state
that an era of insurrection and bloodshed
has set in among the natives and Spanish
troops quartered in this group. Admiral
Belknap has dispatched the cruiser Alli-
ance to Ponapeto protect American mis-
sionaries, whose lives and property are
threatened. Every white person on the
island, and Spaniards in particular, are
fearful of having their property stolen and
being murdered.
A traveller named Anderson, who has re-
turned to Jaluit, in the Marshall group,
brings startling intelligence of the extent
of the trouble and its causes. He says the
natives did not object TO the coming of the
Spaniards until the latter managed TO in
duce Spain TO proclaim a protectorate over
the group. Recently Spanish officials in
creased the native taxation, which has al
ways been a repugnant feature of their ad-
ministratlon. The natives refusing to pay
this new levy was the leading cause of the
existing troubles. Moreover, the troops
on the island are, In many instances, a
drunken, riotous mob.
The natives armed themselves and had
several sharp engagements with the Span
iards. They were cut down by eating
guns and retired into the bush country.
Inc Spanish soldiers followed and were IN
turn decimated by their hidden enemy.
The war cry against the whites has been
sounded throughout all the islands.

INDIANS IN CONGRESS.
Investigation of the Situation That May
Affect Army Legislation.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.--[Special. IA dispatch
from Washington City says: 1t is probable
that the House and Senate will appoint a
joint committee to investigate the Indian
question, and it is possible that as result
of this inquiry different policy will be
recommended with respect to the Indians.
There is q growing sentiment in both
houses OF congress that the time has
come when the Indian should no longer be
permitted to have his own way. AS things
now go the war department is only called
in when the Indians have actually gone
upon the warpath, and have commenced
their depredations. As soon as these dep
relations have ended the Indians return,
hidden or unbidden, and are welcomed
back by the civil officers representing the
interior department, and go unpunished.
The consequence is that the Indians are
the only class, or community, in this re-
public, which can freely murder, rob and
steal, and commit all crimes against the
civil law, and yet go unpunished or un-
whipped of justice.
Many in congress think that the time for
the sentimental Eastern treatment of the
Indians has ended, that settlements upon
the Northwestern frontier must be pro-
tected; that something more than appro-
priations for the maintenance of Indian
schools is necessary, and that the Indians
should be taught once for all that they
must obey the laws of the United States as
we'll as the laws of humanity.
The Indian situation may have some eff
feet upon legislation relating to the army.
1t is fact that nearly one-half the avail
able force of the United States army is
now concentrated in the Indian country
and it is very small army for this great
republic to have.
The most important bill now pending
in congress relates to the increase of the
infantry branch of the army, but it is
claimed by experienced Indian lighters
that it is not so much the infantry branch
which needs strengthening as the cavalry

TIE Fl Paso Herald copies from the San Antonio Times what purports to be an interview with James J. Corbett, the boxer, in which he is represented as be- ing veritable Billy Tough" with the vernacular of Bowery thug. The whole interview shows itself to be a "fake" from beginning to end. Mr. Corbett attended the public schools of San Francisco, finishing the grammar school course before entering bank where he secured practical business education. As member of the Olympic Club, one of the greatest Amateur Athletic Clubs in America, he showed 80 much skill as boxer that he was finally offered the position of instructor at handsome salary. There is nothing of the prize-fghter or bully about Cor bet. He is fine looking man, well educated, good talker and a man withal who would be taken in almost any crowd as lawyer or business man. The writer knows Mir. Corbett well, boarded at the same hotel with him, used to see and talk with him daily and cannot refrain from condemning such evidently malicious false statements.

AN ancient gold field, il seems, has been discovered in Africa, where shafts were sunk and where rude arastras were used to reduce the ore. We wonder if these were Solomon's mines, where he got his gold for the Temple and made money so cheap in Jerusalem that it did not count any more. The only thing against it is that Solomon's men went after the gold in ships, and it must have been at much nearer point than to sail two-thirds of the way around Africa to reach it. But it may be there was a Suez Canal in Solomon's time, that they shipped through that way and so got to this gold field by a nearer route. It is queer how many reports come lately of gold in Africa it seems to be in the air that somewhere there is new field to be opened soon, which perhaps will be a rival to the fields which existed in Cali fornia and Australia. Except for the gold in California, the west coast would have been long time in being settled, for when gold was found there it was believed to be impossible to build a railroad across the continent, and it was a very long way by wagon or by sea. But the gold discovery took away every impediment; people went by thousands and tens of thousands, and In five years more advance had been made than in 300 previous years. Maybe that is the way Africa is finally to be settled, by one grand appeal to the cupidity of mankind for 1t is true that man will take risks in search of gold, bear hardships and dangers in search of gold, with more willingness than he will struggle to save the souls of men, with more even than he will struggle to save his own soul.

IN ITS daily tariff picture last Mon days New York Press has the following which is worth thinking over. It says "The Mckinley duty on women's and children's woolen dress goods is 12 cents a square yard and 50 per cent ad valo- rem.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the Tue son Star, is far from right in attributing the criticisms of TIE REPUBLICAN upon General Miles to envy and ignorance. Far be it from us to criticise an officer from any other than what we believe just grounds. For what General Miles has done for Arizona we have only praise, and none labored more earnestly to sustain his cause in opposing the re- turn of the Apaches, vino were removed to Alabama, or none was louder in his praise after the capture of Geron- imo than ourselves. That General Miles has been doing a wonder full amount of posing before the country lately is apparent to every man who keeps himself abreast of current events. The correspondence between him and General Schofeld indicated that the removal of Colonel Forsythe was suggested by Miles. It seemed to us another of those desperate tricks of ambition, like many in the early part of the rebellion, when good officers were sacrificed and men slaughtered to fur ther the adyancemento of some ambitious man. In such light was our criticism based. The reinstatement of Colonel Forsythe until after the campaign would indicate that he is to have full justice done him, and that General Miles in tends to pursue strictly military cam paign. For this we honor him and stand ready at all times to give him due need of praise for his military achievements, but do not relinquish the right to criti- else when he leaves the soldier to be- come the politician.
