EDUCATE THEM ALL.
Mr.. Reeds Advice on the Treatment OF
Indian Children.

WASHINGTON, February 27.-The In
dian appropriation bill was under dis.
cussion in the House today in committee
of the whole. An amendment providing
for the appointment of army officers as
Indian agents led the Hon. Jerry Simp-
son into an attack on the character of
the present agents. The amendment was
agreed to, but will be made the subject
Of an especial vote when the bill comes
mp for final action.
The committee then passed on to a
consideration of the clause appropriating
SI0O. 900 for4the construction and repair
Of Indian day and industrial schools, and
on motion Of MI. Lynch Of Wisconsin,
an amendment was adopted providing
that all schoolhouses erected under this
appropriation shall be built on the res
ervations or as near the boundary Of the
reservation as may be practicable.
Mr. Reed of Maine presented his views
on the Indian problem and advocated a
proposition Increasing by 100000 the
appropriation for the education Of the
red men. The Indians must be educated
as whole. 1t was useless to take a
child here and there and after educating
him send him back to savage tribe to
again become blanket Indian. There
were today $4,000 Indian children. The
government was educating 10000; but
it was rich enough and sensible enough
to educate all. 1t would be a fundamen-
tai mistake on the part of this nation to
stop in the work of education. The peo-
pie of this country were composed of
many races. These races must be made
a LI.~~ L.
one race, a race that had the same idea
of civil ization and progress.
Mr.. Reed offered an amend
ment increasing from 81 900, 900 to 81 ,3O0,-
600 the appropriation for the support Of
Indian day and industrial schools. The
amendment was lost. ~
Pending the final action on the bill,
the committee rose and the House ad-
iourned.

Yesterday the schooner Alice, recently

BERLIN, February 2s.-At half past

presented a highly animated appearance.
Especially was that the case with the I'm

people, for the most part would-be sight

no groups of rowdies and roughs, and
no disorderly crowds followed the sol

were quickly dispersed were led by sew

In view of the more extensive meas
ures taken to repress the disorders, the
alarm of the general public has abated.
About 100 arrests were made yesterday.
Two persons who received dangerous
sabre wounds were taken to the hospi-
tai. The official report states that doz-
en- policemen were injured.
Such occurrences as those witnessed on
the Unter-den-Linden would not have
caused much comment had they hap
pened in Paris, OF even London, where
encounters between the police and large
bodies Of the people are not infrequent..
But here in Berlin, the capital ground
down under the presence of soldiers and
military police, the rioting attains
point of great significance.
1t revealed the fact that the Emperor
is most unpopular with the masses and
that the people are beginning to feel that
the damning words recently attributed to
the Emperor must be the
vaporings of Crowned Madman,
and that the ruler of the German Empire
is suffering from dementia. This is the
conclusion that people here are gradual
ly coming to, and there is no doubt that
the empire is in danger.
1t is not intended by this to intimate
that it is probable that the empire will
soon be swept away by the waves of a
revolutionary movement. The time for
that upheaval has not arrived.

Third Party Men Talk lef Presidential
Possibilities.

WASHINGTON, February 29.-The rank
and file of the alleged industrial organi-
cations have already begun to discuss
the possible Presidential candidates of
the National Peoples party. Gen. Jas.
B. Weaver of Iowa, once the candidate
of the Greenback party for president, L.
L. Polk of North Carolina, president of
the National Farmers Alliance, Igna-
thus Donnelly of Minnesota, United
States Senator Stanford, T. Y. Powderly,
Grand Master of the Knights of Labor,
and Alison NJ Streeters of Illinois, late
candidate of the Farmers Mutual Bene-
fit Association for United States senator
from Illinois, are few of those being
discussed as possible presidential or vice
presidential candidates.
'1In my opinion said Representative
Jerry Simpson, today, "Gen. Weaver of
Iowa, is the most likely to be the Peo-
ple's party candidate for President"
Representative Watson of Georgia,
candidate of the Peoples party's repre-
sentatives in the House for speaker, be-
lieves the. candidate for the presidency
twill be some man who has been well
identified with this great revolt against
the existing state of affairs and that it is
quite unnecessary such a man should
have a barrel.''

coming contest in England between the

The Iowa iron works of Dubuque, Ia.

entirely new plan. the object OF which is
10 navigate the river and the ocean. 1t is
to be built after the style OF what is called
the Lucas plan and will be the first boat
built. 1t will have one bow and two
sterns, each Of which will have rudder and
screw, so if one is disabled there will re-
main half the power to make port. She
will carry an adjustable center board,
which it is thought will answer the pur-
pose Of a deeper draft. The boat will be
about 800 feet long and from 80 to 80 feet
beam. She will be built entirely OF steel
and will cost about $500, 900, and it is
expected that she will carry cargo in
weight equaling about 60, 900 bushels OF
wheat on five feet of water, which will
be remarkable If srch results are secured.
This vessel when finished will be sent with
a cargo TO the Amazon. She will then go
up the river 500 miles or more to the coffee
plantations. and take from them direct the
products which now have TO be transferred
