Hard on the Half Rree0s.

PIERRE, S. d., Dec. H.. Great excite
ment was created here today by advices
from Washington to the Pierre land Of
flee that the assistant attorney general
had decided that Jane Waldron, a half
breed Indian woman was a born citizen
OF the United States, and that her claim
that she is an Indian by virtue Of being
born Of an Indian mother can not be al,
lowed, and neither can she longer be
permitted to draw rations and annuitics
or receive lands in severalty. These
half breeds like Mrs. Waldron have oc.
cupied all the choicest lands and most
valuable tracts on the lately ceded Sioux
lands, some Of which, lying opposite
Pierre, have already advanced many
thousands Of dollars in value. The land
Office has been flooded all day with ap
pllcations from whites to contest these
claims Of the half-breeds taken under
the severalty act. At least 100000 is
Involved.

The River

KANSAS CITY, Dec. IS - Governor
Thaycr called the river congress to order
at 1870 o'clock this morning. The re-
port OF the committee on rules and order
OF business was presented and adopted
without debate. w. +. Sultzer of Mis-
souri, addressed the convention. He
spoke Of the Louisiana purchase and
read the report at the time he was chief
OF the bureau Of statistics. His address
showed the improvements from all
standpoints of the country included
within the bounds of the purchase.
Berlin, a member of the Missouri river
commission, next spoke. He said the
commission would gladly give any action
to congress to look to its profoundest
consideration. The first thing to be
done was to obtain an adequate appro-
p~riation for the work. The commission
had fought hard against local appro.
priations and had sought to get a
sufficiently large appropriation to begin
and continue work in a systematic man
ner until it was completed. The report
OF thec commission stated that the Mis-
souri, river could be made to answer the
requirements Of commerce, but enough
money must be appropriated to finish
the work.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 1G.-Gov. Francis
next addressed the convention. He
spoke OF the great Importance to the
west OF the improvement OF the Missouri
river. Last September the congressman
OF Missouri, the Missouri river commits
sion, and himself had inspected the i'm
~provements at the mouth Of the Usage.
The congressman decided the policy OF
the commission was a correct one and
favored an appropriation for future work
OF improvement Of the stream, beginning
with the mouth and working up. The
United States had assumed control of
waterways and it was criminal in a ma
tiOnal government tn neglect the great
waterways. The price Of grain was
fixed by the cost of transportation.
A cent saved in transportation was a
cent made for the producer. A cent
added TO the cost Of expectation was a
cent added not only TO the price OF every
bushel exported but TO every bushel
raised. The state, the commission and
the Missouri state law, in the event Of
the impro cement Of the river, would not
only force rates along the river down but

CHICAGO, Dec. -. jessie James OK
piolts were outdone tonight in Chicago.
In n Of the leading thoroughfares five
daring highwaymen suddenly surrounded
n Of Uncle Sans biggest mail wagons
and at the point of a revolver forced the
postal employees to throw out several
sacks. The bulky government vehicle
was then sent flying on its journey, the
occupants being threatened with instant
death if they made an cutlery or stopped.
So complete was the surprise effected by
the bandits that the mail drivers failed
to utilize the services of "a large bulldog
which was beside them on their seat.
Near midnight the stolen mail-sacks,
slit open and ri1ed of their contents.
were found on Superior street in the
North division of the city, fully three
miles from the scene of the robbery. At
that hour every available man of the city
detective force and postofiice inspectors
staff were straining every nerve to OBJ
tain a clew to the identity Of the high
waymen or their whereabouts. A Wagon
was on its way to the main postoffice
with mail from the stock-yards and
stations. 1t was in charge of
Creighton, ar experienced driver,
who after collecting his valuable freight
drove down Blue Island avenue to Hal
stead street and then turned east on
Mather street. He was half way to Des-
PLANES when five men sprang from the
sidewalk. One seized the horses by the
reins while the others covered Creighton
with revolvers and commanded him to
keep quiet. The team was then led to
an alley extending north from Mather
and there while n of the men
covered Creighton with a revolver the
other forced open the door of the wage
and hastily selecting the registered
pouches from the others made Off
through the alley. Creighton's guard
kept their captive covered for five min
utes and then left him.

WASHINGTON. Dee. Ii. The opening
of the house today. after IL holiday of
half IA week, was without special in
terest. 1t was generally understood no
business would be transacted and that
the meeting would be merely Il perfunct-
ory II to enable the speaker to appoint
Il committee on rules. Speculation was
rife as to the composition Of that com
mittee, and there was quite "A large at
tendance of members but their time was
principally employed in conversation
with applicants for minor positions,
whom they politely referred to the Off
GERS controlling the various departments
Of the house. Speaker Crisp. who is
apparently no worse for the cold with
which ne has been suffering for the past
few days. called the house to order and
there was no deviation from the program
which had been mapped out.
Speaker Crisp announced the appoint
ment OF the committee on rules AS fol-
lows: Speaker chairman McNlillin,
Catchings. Reed mt Burrows.
Oates Of Alabama offered "A resolution
providing for the appointment of Il stand
ing committee on order of business. to

would also reduce rates on all railroads
in the state.
A number of addresses were made and
suggestions offered by river pilots at the
close of which the report of the com
mittee on resolutions was read. The
resolutions demand an appropriation of
SG,OOO,OO0 a year for the Missouri i'm
provements and s7,0OO,0O0 a year for the
improvement of the Mississippi. There
was no manifest opposition to the adop-
ton of the resolutions but a motion to
adjourn until , pm. was put and carried.

WA,nINGroN, Dec. 1G. The appoint
ment Of the house committee on rules is
regarded by members of the house as a
return to the former policy Of appointing
members of this committee without ref
renee to their other committee assign
ments. This was the policy under which
Speakers Randall and Kiefer acted.
When Carlisle became speaker he select
ed a majority of the members Ofthe rules
committee by appointing the chairmen
of the ways and means and apprOpria-
tiOns committees on the rules committee,
the purpose being to enable them to
guide" the course Of business, so as not
to interfere with tariff or appropriation
measures. Reed selected his rules COM
mittee in the same me Mcmillan
of Tennessee, who is one of the new
members Of the rules committee. is
prominent as Il tariff refOrmcr and was
n of the most active members of the
ways and means committee. Hc says,
however, he is in favor of the appoint
mcnt of Mills as chairman of the last
named committee. McMillan's selection
as a member of the rules committee is
ascrlbed to his pa~rliamentarian ability,
his effectiveness as a dcbater and the
fact that he is personally very well
iked by members of the democratic
side and will therefore be of great as
sistance in securing the harmonious adj
iustment Of any differences which may
arise as to party policy. Catchings OF
Mississippi IS a firm personal friend Of
the new speaker and was one of the ac-
tive managers Of his canvass. He is an
experienced member Of the house. an &C
tive worker and a clear, forcible speaker.
