Congregational Programme,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-It begins to
be apparent that the present unsatis-
factory state of affairs in the senate
must soon be terminated. Fifty work.
ing days will end the life of the Fifty
first congress, yet the first of the reg
ularannual appropriation bills remains
to be acted upon by the senate. The
feeling of impotence which this con-
dition Of public business has aroused
has gathered strength every day over
the significant remarks uttered in de-
bate last week by senator of recog-
nized influence, and appear to have
had the effect of bringing the senate
nearer to change of programme than
has held sway since congress met in
December last. The caucus of repub-
lican senators is to be held probably
Monday morning and it is confidently
expected by most republican senators
that as the result of it, before u week
expires crisis will have been reached
with respect to the election bill and
the senate will have arrived at clear
understanding of what course is to be
pursued for the remainder of the ses-
sion. The lines of battle are narrow
ing and there is gathering of forces.
Absent republican senators have been
requested to return and preparations
are making on both sides of the cham
Der for n final struggle. Part of the
campaign, it is believed, will be a
series of night sessions. designed to
test the efficiency of the old methods
OF passing a bill obnoxious to the mi
nority as well as to secure the adop-
ton OF the new cloture rule, il it be
decided to press the measure. II is
expected, however. that this order will
be made before Tuesday, as a night
session Monday would interfere with
the desired caucus.
In the house to-day, the first Monday
OF the month, is individual suspension
day, and members are given an oppor-
tunlty to pass measures of local inter-
est. Chairman Farquhar OF the mer-
chant marine and fisheries committee
will call up the shipping bill Tuesday.
It's friends propose to allow two days
for its consideration, but q determined
effort will be made by the opposition
TO defer final action on the bill as long
as possible, in the hope of defeating it
in this manner, without running the
risk of final vote on the passage of
the bill. There is prospect that the
consideration of the shipping bill may
be antagonized by the appropriation
bills and that the former measure may
not secure the floor. Friday will be
devoted to bills on the private calen-
dar. 1t is expected to fill in any time
during the week not devoted to the
shipping bill and to special orders with
the appropriations bills, four of which
are on the calendar awaiting consider
alton, Chairman Cutcheon of the mill
tary affairs committee having the right
of way with the army appropriation
bill.

Indian Appropriations.

WASHINGTON Jan. The commits
sioner of Indian affairs says to the best
of his knowledge and belief the Sioux
Indians of South Dakota ara not starry
ing and that he has reason to think
the statements regarding their desti-
tuition are grossly exaggerated. 1t is
true, he says, that congress has great
ly reduced the appropriations for the
Sioux and other tribes and that the
agreements made with them have been
only partially filled, but whose fault it
was he could not say. The recent out
break, he thought, was PARTLY due to
the reasons above stated, failure OF
their crops and the religious craze.
lie was opposed to the transfer of the
Indians to the war department..
The following table shows the
amount the Indian appropriations have
been reduced by congress from and in

For the Relief orIpdtans

WASHINGTON, Jan. There was
yesterday laid before the house letter
from the commissioner OF Indian affairs
10 the secretary OF the interior, giving
an opinion that relief fund should be
made by congress so ms to enable the
department to assist all Indians who
require aid this winter. not only with
food but also in the purchase of seeds
and other articles required for planting
in the spring and to grant immediate
assistance when required. He submits
Il draft OF an item to be inserted in the
Indian appropriation bill. proposing an
appropriation OF $50, 900 for the pur-
pose mentioned. The tribes appealing

letter from Pine Ridge details some
hitherto unknown facts concerning the
death OF Captain Wallace at Wounded
Knee. After the fight, the letter states,
Captain Wallace was found Mt the en-.
try of an Indian lodge with five dead
warriors lying near him. each corpse
showing bullet wound. Five of the

Wallace killed the five Indians before

The shining RIlI.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Representa-
tive Farquhar of Buffalo, who is the
principal author OF the shipping bill
now before the house, said that the
house would probably give hearing
to this measure at an earlr day. The
bill, he stated, would likely be given
two days for debate, and it was his
opinion that it will pass if pressed to
vote. while the propositions con-
tanned iii the measure, said he, are
broad, there is no necessity for pro-
longed debate, for the reason that it
had been debated for several months
by the press and its provisions and in
tentions are familiar to every one.
The principles of the bill were made
issues in the republican campaign of
1888 and a part of the party platform
The elevation of American shipping
interests through the principles pro-
posed in the bill has been heartily en-
dorsed by the president and although
there may be some men on the repub-
lican side who are opposed to it or
account OF some of its details, | am
confident that it will pass if il can be
gotten to Il vote. There is no question
about the senate passing the bill II it
reaches that body. The republican par
ty is now given an opportunity to place
American shipping interests on an
equal footing with those of other lead
inc countries of the world and | want
to see whether the party representa-
tives in congress have the courage to
embrace the opportunity.

Feed Necessities of the sioux.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The commits
sioner of Indian affairs, in compliance
with a request from the secretary of
the interior, laid before that official
amended estimates of the amounts re-
quired for the subsistence and civiiza-
tion OF the Sioux for the fiscal year 1892.
that will enable the department TO fur
nish the Indians with the rations pre-
scribed by the agreement of February
%, 1877. The commissioner states the
estimate for the subsistence of the
Sioux now before congress amounts to
5000, 600. This should be increased to
81, 100, 900 in order TO enable the OFF,
GERS to comply with the directions of
the president and supply fully the ra-
tons stipulated to be furnished under
the agreement referred to.
The commissioner also says the item
Of $50 600 for the subsistence and civ
ilization OF the Northern Cheyennes
and Arspahoes should be increased to
$50, 900 so as to provide them with the
same subsistence as the estimates for
several tribes OF Sioux. The item for
Indian police is increased from $l65, :
900 to $50, 900, to increase the force
by the addition OF twenty-five officers
aed ESQ private soldiers at larger sal
aries. An item OF $3.50. 600 is submit
ted for irrigating bitches on Indian
reservations; also an item of $50, 900
for irrigation purposes on Fort Hall
reservation. Idaho; also $50. 600 for
the erection of slaughter houses and
the issue of rations needed on many OF
the reservations.

To the Editor Of The ~1NDRrRnDnNr: In

my attention wa first called to the article

telegraph me an explanation. Az I have
rs yet heard nothing from him, will ask
you to kindly publish the following state
ment: Mr.. Enrich. in September last,
made a personal examination Of the mines
now owned by the Grand Republic Mining
company, and reported at length upon
them. In his report he says under the
heading, Quantity of Ore Estimated and
Its Probable Value:"

Estimated tonnage in sight in Dump. 700

Estimated tonnage second-class ore....... 1900

Estimated gross value in dump .........S $500
Estimated value second-class ore ,....... 10l, 200
Total gross value in sight ............S 214, 200
He goes on further IN his report to show
that BY concentrating the second-class ore
before shipping it would yield the company
a net return after paying all concentrating,
hauling, shipping and smelling charges, Of
$37, 55S. While h estimated that the ore
on the dump and the first-class ore would
yield = net return, after paying all charges,
Of $54, 100, and that the total net value Of
ore in sight would then be $9l, 67S. He
then adds:

sight under the present developments, and

being excused from voting: 81 am not in

it Silver Bow would not have a legal repre-

the two republican claimants who have the

could safely add one-third TO his EN-

Since his report vas made We have spent
over 5000 In further developing the prop
erty and have struck ore much richer than
any he saw when he made his report. Our
shaft is now down to nearly twice the depth
1t WAS when he was there, and we have
found nothing since to lead us to doubt his
