to strike out the provision for the assign
ment of army officers to tho duties of In
dian agents with AL amendment attached
to it. offered by Hawley. that whenever tho
president shall be of opinion that the good
of the service especially requires it he may
appoint civilian. Pettigrew moved to
strike out of the general provision Haw-
ley's amendment and to insert in lieu
thereof the following: Tho president is
authorized to detail officers of the United
agencies whore he shall deem such action
for the benefit of the service" Palmer ar
gued against the policy Of the house pro-
vision. In the course of his argument and
of Interruptions by other senators he ap-
posred to be startled and surprised by
who were United States citizens and
voters. He was informed by Pestigrew
that the Sisseton Indians, of South Dakota,
were citizens of she United States and vot-
ers, having taken their land in ssveralty.
and yet they had agents over them. Allen
| there were 600 on q reservation immediately
adjacent to the city of Tacoma who we're
citizens of the United States and votera
controlling in all local affairs, oven down to
precinct and county matters. Mr.. Palmer
confessed that tho fact that United States
citizens had agents over them was star.ling
to him. II might bo true, as matter of
fact, but it was startling az a matter of law.
Henderson alluded to the charge that ran
cid bacon had been supplied to the Sioux
reservation. He read an official report of

question, showing that the frat lot, 12S 900
pounds was not OF this class; that the sec
ond lot, $4,000 pounds, could not be issued
| in it's entirety because it was mouldy aud
| in a rancid condition, and that tho third

Unhappy Conditions.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 31.-Reports
from North Dakota and eastern Mon
tana indicate the greatest spring floods
in ten years. Residents all along the
river are preparing to move to higher
ground. To the south of Grafton is a
lake reaching for miles into the country.
In Montana there are washouts in every
direction, the Great Northern, being the
chief sufferer. The main break occurred
on the Montana division, between Will
linton and Springbrook, caused by an
overflow of the Missouri tributaries
which at this time of year are fed by
melting snow from the Rocky noun
tains. 1t will take thirty-six hours to
repair the road.
There are number of societies in the
world that bear strange names, but
probably one of the most curious was a
club founded in 1735 by an English ac-
ton. It was called ssThe Sublime Soci-
ETY. Of Beefsteaks," and had among its
members the Prince of Wales and other
royal personages. They met in the
painting room of the Covent Garden
theater, and dined upon beefsteaks
The club was in existence for more than
hundred years, and became quite
noted because of its odd customs An
other strange nar&s was that of the
ssScriblerus club, which Swift founded
IN TIA, and to which Pope, Gay and
other literary men belonged. .-Harper's
