yagements of the senator's fine stable
Will not be lost. 1t is not thought that
the senator's son will continue the
stable, AZ he has shown very. little in
tercst i'll horses. The old senator's
death comes at an especially untimely
p Rod for the turf, the death of Mr..
Belmont and the practical retirement
of Mr.. Scott and Mr.. Haggin having
left big gap in the ranks. Senator
Hearst rarely bet on his own horses,
aud although he was u familiar figure
at the club houses of the big tracks, he
was practically unknown in the ring.
He was universally beloved for his
kindly, gentle ways and his unostcnta-
tiouS manners. "Uncle Gcorge,n as he
was lovingly called, had pleasant and
democracy, which wa, as
refreshing as dew in the desert. While
the people are mourning in Washing

The Indian depreciation claims,
pending before the recent Dakota
troubles, had reached over $4,000, 600.
They dated back eighty years, and
were more than 5000 in number, but
the number prior to 1871 was only
ninety-siX, amounting to S54,19S, SO
that the great bulk of them were in
cluded within the last fifty years, and
nearly half in Mount belong TO the
decade between 1860 and 1870. The
last ten years show only 470 claims,
amounting to 1,752, 1866. No claim
for Indian depredations is paid except
by special appropriation Ivy congress,
and the government makes the Indian
annuitics responsible FIR the reimburse
ment of all money paid by it in salts
faction of these claims. The greatest
amount of depreciation claims is against
the Apa"hes, who have S3,5iS, 46I
against them. The Comnanchcs have
