The House also to-day, on the report of
the committee on rules, ordered an
of the pension bureau
as managed by Commissioner Raum.
The scope of. the investigation
is made much broader than that of pre-
vious inquiries, and Enloe, of Tennessee,
and Cooper, of Indiana, as instigators, will
be expected to furnish evidence and prac-
tlcally conduct the fight against the present
administration of the bureau. Enloe in
advocating his amendment to-day, severely
criticised the administration of the office,
and reiterated the charges made against
the commissioner sand his son in the last
Congress.
After some further business, the House
went into committee of the whole on the
military academy bill. Bowers, of Cali
fornia, made humorous speech, in which
he described his efforts seated in an easy
chair, in a luxurious ROOM apd those of
the military affairs committee, to reform
the academy bill and cut down the expen-
ditures. He was taking his leisure Cat the
rate Of Sl4 day. and wondering at the
large aggregate appropriation for the
support OF the academy, wren a
picture arose before him of the
cherries room of a cadet, and he came to
the conclusion he wanted to let somebody
else reform on that side. Some Democrat
had yesterday denounced the Fifty-hrst
Congress for having in the aggregate made
immense appropriations. He joined in that
Pronunciation. II was easy to criticise an
aggregate. An aggregate was very con-
venient term, but he had yet to see any
gentleman rise and denounce the Fifty first
Congress for having appropriated too much
for public building in his district for the
Improvement of the navigation of dry
creek in which he was interested. After
further remarks the committee rose.
The speaker placed BANDS bill on the
calendar, Dingley of Maine, having urged
1t should goto the committee of the whole
as it must inevitably involve an expense
on the treasury. The House adjourned.

Fraudulent Timber Land Entries.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 10.-In the matter of
the government proceedings against al
legged fraudulent timber land entries in
Washington, Oregon or California, the
commissioner general of the land office,
with the approval of the secretary of the
interior, has instituted change of proce-
dure by which parties claiming title to
those lands will hereafter be required to
produce the original entry men and their
witnesses at the local iaad Offices for fur
Their examination with reference to any
contracts or arrangements which may
have been made prior to entry for convey
ance of the land to corporations or syndi-
Gates. 1t appears from tbs records of the
general land Office that large tracts Of valu-
able timber land in different localities have
been entered on the same day by large
number of persons, and Immediately there
after all the parties transferred to syndi-
Gates. 1t is now confidently asserted by
these syndicates that the government can :
not prove the entries were originally made
in their interests This new order is made
with view of simplifying the procedure
in such cases.

DENVER, Feb. 10.-A dispatch received
this morning from New Mexico states the
Navajo Indians had gone on the war path
and battle was in progress near Albur-
queque, created great excitement. Later
advices show the first reports were ex-
aggerated. A dispatch from Coolidge, n.
M, tonight says the trouble is between
Navaioes and cattlemen and 1t is caused
by renegade Indians killing cattle. Chief
Mariana was requested ten days ago to re-
move the Indian. This request was granted,
put Tuesday three Indians were found
coming down the trail toward
Chavez and cowboys ordered them
back. They started baca, and on the bluff
built a signal ire. Soon forty renegade
Indians came to their assistance in defiance
Of the cowboys and a promise not to tres
pass. There were no cowboys at Chavez at
the time, but the Indians claimed their de-
serted camp was burned by cowboys, and
they were going to get even. The Indians
threatened to burn San Antonio ranch
occupied by a cattleman named Cod
dington, and they left Chavez, going
in chat direction. Harry Cody, mother
and Two men were at the ranch. They
were greatly terrified when the Indians
rode up and began yelling and shooting in
Discriminatory. No one was hurt and the
Indians, apparently satisfied with having
scared the people, rode away. Harry Cody
at once mounted pony and rode sixteen
miles to Coolidge for assistance.
Fifteen armed cowboys Immediately left
for the ranch, which is sixteen miles dis
tant, arriving at . a. m, bat all was quiet.
The cowboys remained at the ranch until

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The most Sig
nifcant event in the proceedings of the
House to-day was the report of the Bland
free coinage bill. This action was not one
that involved debate, as the bill merely
went On the calendar to be taken up in the
order of consideration, but it indicated the
intention OF the free coinage men to force
the bill with all possible haste Indeed
Chairman Bland and other leaders of the
free silver movement assert the measure
is TO be forced to q vote and actually
passed by the House within the next sixty
days. In this event there is no doubt the
Senate will have an opportunity of passing
upon the Bland bill long before the date of
