Appropriations Committee to Assemble
Before the Meeting of Congress
to Study the Problem.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.--A call will be
iBsued soon for a meeting of the house COM
mittee on appropriations Monday, Nov. 8.
This is to give the committee about weeks
time in which to prepare some regular an
nual appropriation bills for the action of
congress when it meets for the second ses-
sion. 1t is the purpose to push rapidly all
these measures for the maintenance of the
government next year. Exceedingly heavy
payments by the treasury during the first
quarter of the present fiscal year caused
some dismay among members of the appro-
priations committee. For the first four
months of the year these payments exceeded
by $16. .O000 600 the expenditures for the cor
responding period of the preceding fiscal
year, which means total increase for the
year of $4S, 900, 600 while the appropriations
for the year nre only $12.000.000 greater
than the appropriations for last year. That
means, il the estimates of tire committee
| hold good, deficiency on account of pen
sions of $36,000,0O0 which will have to be
met by congress at the next session. in ad-
dition to appropriations for pensions for the
next fiscal year of certainly not less than
$3.50, 100000. so the total appropriation
that congtess must make for pensions next
session will aggregate not less than 1886,
100000. With this added to the other .ap-
preparations necessary to carry on the gov
ernment and decreased importations. and
consequently reduced receipts. it Will be
seen that the appropriations committee had
good reason to feel damaged at the out
look and doubt its ability to prevent a de-
ficiency in national accounts.
Indian Commissioner Morgan, speaking
to-day of reports of apprehended trouble
with the Cheyenne and Arapahos Indians
in Oklahoma, because of the reduction of
food supply furnished by the government,
spoke at length of what had been done for
these tribes in the past. In 1880 they
agreed to surrender large part of their
reservation, 100000 being paid in cash and
81, ,OOO 600 placed in the treasury to their
credit, with interest at five per cent. Allot-
ments were then mada to each man, woman
and child of the tribe Of 100 acres of the
choicest land. 1T can hardly be expected, u
said the commissioner that the govern
mont will continue TO sustain out OF the
public treasury Indians who have had thell
land allotted and who are receiving large
cash Payments. They not only have no
ground for complaint, but white people
who settled among them are complaining
that the government treats the Indians
with more liberality than the whites. This
unrest among the lndlans" says the com
missioner, lis undoubtedly created by
those who hoped to be benefited i'll some
way. During the last campaign some un-
priDcipled men stirred up these Indians fol
political purposes, and II trouble occurs
they will be largely responsible"

enthusiasm OF the local democrats tnrned
loose tonight in ratification Of the election
latter as he is resident Of this city. Night
fall was the signal for tho lighting of bon
fires in different parts of the city. and the
firing of cannons and anvils. Democrats

plo conQtegated about tho business portion
of tho city. Abut seven o'clock they formed
in line and with bands marched to the resi-
dence OF Stevenson. Gen. Stevenson, Hon

Ewing and Hon. Owen Scott entered car
riage and joined the line
After marching about Franklin park the
line headed for Durley theater, which was
soon filed to its utmost capacity. Gen.
Stevenson was introduced, and made a
speech of considerable length, principally
OF n felicitous nature, thanking the ASSEM-
blage for the reception and his countrymen
for the honor bestowed upon him.
After commencing the ability and high
personal character OF the gentlemen on the
opposing ticket, he referred to tho good
feeling during tho campaign, and said:
MAY we not hope that the great political
struggle Of 1892 will inauRurate new era
in American politics, and that calm discus
sion and respectful consideration for the

He then reviewed the tenets of the demo-
cratic faith and paid high compliment tc
q over Cleveland. closing with an expres
sion of his earnest endeayor to discharge

edly declined to be interviewed on the sub
ject. for the reason that Cleveland, a
president-elect, was the proper person t.

The situation at Homestead.

PIrTsBuRG, Nov. 14.-It is probable that
within short time decided change will
take place in the strike situation at Home
stead and other points. Meetings of the
advisory boards of the amalRamatsd asso-
citation at different points are in session to-
night and tomorrow to determine whether
or not the strikes will continue. I he par
tial resumption of work, together with the
ex pense of supporting strikers, and capped
by yestet days trouble at Homestead, has
rendered it necessary that some action be
taken. As far as can be learned it is
thought the leaders are likely to issue an
other manifesto and urge the men to con-
tinue the battle.
At IL o'clock tonight general quarrel
occurred between number of colored non
unionists and Homestead colorei men just
outside the Ninth avenue M. Il. church.
The non unonists drew Ievovers and a
number of shots were fired, but no one was
hit. During the fight two white men came
along and one of them cut negro with his
knife. Several arrests were made and all is
hnow quiet.
