INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS.

President Harrison Sends Message to
Congress About Them-He Thinks the
Whole Subject Should Be Disposed of
at Once Instead OF by Degrees.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1.-THE Pres
ident sent to Congress a message calling
attention to the Cheyenne and Chickasaw
claims for the payment of which Congress
appropriated 81, 991, ,45O in the Indian ap-
preparation bill passed by the last Congress-
This amount was to be paid these Indians
for their interest in lands lying south of the
Canadian river in the Indian Territory and
now occupied by the Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe Indians. Three-fourths of the appro-
priation was to be paid to such person or
persons as should be authorized by the laws
of the Cheyenne Indians to receive it and
one-fourth to the Chickasaws, the appropri-
alton to become operative upon the e1ecu-
tion of releases and conveyances satisfactory
in manner and form to the President.
The President then says it came to his
knowledge that the Cherokee Legislature
had agreed to pay three of that tribe 25 per
cent of any appropriations obtained from
Congress, and that the Chickasaws agreed to
pay 10 per cent of their interest to their
agents and attorneys 1t also came to the
knowledge of the President that the action
of the Choctaws council was corruptly in
fuenced in the matter.
The President does not think that Con-
gress should so legislate as to give effect to
such contract and he is of the opinion that
if this appropriation is to stand, provisions
should be made for protecting these tribes
against e1tortion.
The President does not approve of deal
ing with the question by piecemeal. 1t
would have been better, he says, if rem
nant of title remains in the Choctaws and
Chickassws to the lands in the leased dis
trict to have settled the whole matter at
once. The calculations made in arriving
at the basis of the appropriations made, no
account being taken of the $500, 900 paid by
treaty stipulation for the leased district,
seem to the President as not just to the
United States. In conclusion, the Presi-
dent commends the matter to the attention
of Congress for such action as may be
thought advisable

ANOTHER ALICE MITCHELL.

Cincinnati Has . Girl Who Proposes to
Another-She Threatens to Kill the Re-
cipient of Her Letter If She Won't Ac-
cept the Offer.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 17.-lSpecial. Gin
cinnati can duplicate almost anything in
the way of q sensation. She has just come
to the front with an Alice Mitchell -Freda
Ward case, although, fortunately, bloodshed
has been averted. The woman who takes
the part of Miss Mitchell in the case is
Annie Bryant, of 479 Eastern avenue. and
the Freda Ward is Florence Megrue. a
pretty blonde saleslady for Oskamp, Nolt-
ing & Co., residing on Columbia avenue,
near Tusculum avenue.
The principal features of the case are
almost identical with the Memphis tragedy.
About two weeks ago Annie Bryant had
occasion to visit the store of Oskamp Nolt-
ing & Co, and while there she met Miss
Megrue, who is fascinating little lady.
The Bryant girl took deep interest in the
little wageworker and showed her liking in
q most striking manner.
Nothing was thought of this, however,
until several days ago, wnen in Miss
Megrue's mail there came a Ntter
that caused her to tremble with
from the Bryant woman and was
couched in the most endearing language.
1t said that the writer loved her, and wound
up with proposition of marriage. The
writer threatened death in case her tender
was refused. Miss Megrue at once told her
employers who in turn called in the girls
parents and the woman was visited. She
did not deny writing the letter. On her
promise never to bother the young lady
again no legal action was taken.

INCOME TAX FOR REVENUE.
Mr.. wike Talks to the Ways and Means
Committee Concerning His Biil-He
Wants No Step Backward in the March
That Leads to Free Trade.

Mr.. Wike Talks to the Ways and Means
Committee Concerning His Bill-He
Wants No Step Backward in the March
That Leads to Free Trade.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 1.-THE
House Committee on Ways and Means to-
day devoted its attention to the principle
of an income tax as a means of raising reve-
1ue in the event that the reduction of the
tariff should ever bring the revenues OF the
country below the legitimate expenses of
government. A few days ago Representa-
tive Wike, of Illinois, introduced series
of resolutions lndorsing the income tax
theory and recommending the legislation in
that direction by the Fifty-second Congress.
These resolutions were referred to the Com
mittee on Wavs and Means and that COM
mittee to-day accorded Mr.. Wike hearing
in advocacy of his resolutions
In his argument Mr.. Wike urged the
committee to consider seriously and
propose plan to supplement any reduction
of revenue that might follow a reduction of
tariff duties to an extent that might threaten
a depletion of the Treasury. Although
Democrat, Mr.. Wike maintained that the
country would not consider the efforts of
the committee as at all serious to reduce
tariff taxes unless it at the same time
sought some other source of revenue to sup
plement any loss from the enlargement of
the free list and. reduction of tariff duties.
The country is not willing, Mr.. Wike
continued, to go back to the plan of raising
the necessary revenues of the Government
by what is calleda purely revenue tariff. He
wanted no step backward in the march that
leads to free trade. Any tariff duty what
ever, whether the object be protection or
opportunity of the manufacturer to reduce
articles of manufacture so cheaply as those
made under free trade.
Mr.. Wike said that in 1866 the income
tax in this country had produced its great
est amount of revenue, being almost $I3,-
000, 900, and that more than one-half of that
amount arose from incomes in excess of So
600, the limit of the exemptions proposed by
mis- resolutions.

NEW YORK, Feb. n.-lSpecial 1-For
several days the Office Of the Russian Con-

plicants, all Russian Hebrews, asking to be
returned to Russia. There were two or
three families at the Office to-day waiting to
see Consul General Olarovsky. "We are
unable to send these people back to Russia,
because we have no fund to do it with, but
we will see what we can dc" said Vice
Consul Petersen. 'eWithin the past three

intended to be distributed at so much
head. 1t is scheme of grand philanthropy,
but, unfortunately, all Hebrews are not SO
broad-minded as Baron Hirsch.

NEW YoRK's TRACTION ROADS
All Being Gobbled Up by the Big Phila-
delphia Syndicate.

NEW YORK, Feb T7.-[Special 1.-The re-
ports are generally believed, but they could
not be confirmed here, that the Ninth Ave
nue. Street Railroad has passed into the
hands of the Metropolitan Traction Com
pany, of Philadelphia. This would give the
Broadway Surface railroad a continuous
line to Washington Heights. 1t is thought
that the Metropolitan Traction Company is
also after the Avenue G Railroad. The
stock of the Metropolitan Traction Com
pany has changed from 9S to Ill inside Of
two days, on the Philadelphia Stock Ex-
change, and this is believed to tell the
whole story.
The report that the Philadelphia syndi-
cate was about to secure control of the
Third Avenue Street Railroad was authori-
tstively denied to-day, but many think that
with the gradual changing of the motive
power of the street railroads in this city from
horses to a cable system New York will
some day see the Philadelphia syndicate or
some other big financial company obtain
control of the entire street railroad system
of this city.

will do him all honor as the ex-Dem-

who still regard Cleveland as one of the
greatest men in the party, are nevertheless
in favor of the nomination of Hill. He
says this is particularly true of the leading

Prove They Are Legal.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Feb 17.-In the quo
warranto suit to oust James II. Smith,
Edward Whitaker and Robson Green as
directors of the Ohio and Mississippi Rail-
way, the defendants to-day filed answer
They allege that at the annual election in
Cincinnati the relators, McKim, Fahnstock
andWalsh were not elected directors because
the votes were cast by voting trust created
by Brown, Shipley & Co., of New York.
The answer also alleges that when the
agreement TO give the control of the road
into the hands of the Baltimore and Ohio
was made in October, 1891, the English
stockholders consented through misrepre-
sentation being made to them as to the
physical and financial condition of the road.
The relators have filed a demurrer, alleging
that the placing of bonds with Brown,
Shipley & Co., did not create voting trust,
and that, even if it did, it did not affect the
legality of the election.

Church Policy at the Congress.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 17.-Rev. d. S. Phelan,
editor of the Watchnaaa, Catholic journal,
said to-day relative to the Dunno letter:
The clergy is opposed to the discussion by
laymen of temporal power or education in
an official Catholic body, for the reason that
these utterances would be taken as the
official voice of the church. That should be
confined to those high. enough IN the
church to speak on mattefs OF its policy.
Everyone in the Catholic Church has free
dom of individual opinion, but no one has
right to say whether the Pope should be re-
stored to temporal power. That is for the
Pope to say, and when said it is the duty of
the clergy to work for it.
Members OF the clergy are not incautious,
as a rule, on matters of church policy, but
MANY of the laymen, freed from any en-
barrassing responsibility, are-Judge DUNNO
and Zach Montgomery, who was Assistant
Attorney General, for instance. You will re-
member that Judge Dunno was removed
from the Territorial Judgeship of Arizona
by President Grant OH account of these ex-
treme views.

In fitting a cloth suit, the modes of
fitting peculiar to the tailor are many
in number, but good in result, says
Mrs. Mallon in the October Ladies'
Home Journal. The measurements
are numerous; the first fitting is an
ordinary cotton lining; the second one
a silk lining, the third one the silk
and the material, the fourth one the
q most finished bodice, which usually
needs then only a few mistakes recti-
fed, and there is the finished bodice
for the head tailor to seen in its en-
tirety. No critic is so severe as is the
master of the establishment, and q
slight wrinkle will cause him to order
the taking apart of the bodice and
the making it 80 that 1t fits like the
proverbial glove; the same care is
shown in fitting a skirt, and at the
really good tailor's a long train cloth
skirt, unless it were for evening or
house wear, is not even considered.
Among the prettiest of the new
materials for the cloth gowns are
those showing very light back.

q darker shade upon them. The hair
lines are rather newer, and are al
most invariably seen on smooth
surfaced cloth. White is shown with
a hair line of dark brown, dark blue,
gray, purple and, oddly enough,
emerald green.

Dainty House Cows.

A material that will be favored for
tea gowns or house dresses during
the winter is white alpaca, writes
Mrs. Mallon in "The Small Belong
ings of Dress" In the October Ladies'
Home Journal. Under it's lining OF
white silk comes another one of very
thin flannel, so that while it has the
desired swish of the silk it gains q
gracefulness from the WOODEN lining
that would never come TO it in any
other way.
Oftenest these gowns are cut out
at the neck in the modest Englis h
fashion aud finished with deep

as if ibis fall If lace had been 81
much worn during the summer tn t
it was out of vogue. still it must be
remem bered that it is becoming. and
when the lace is good It is always in
fashion. In the old picture books we
see that the good Queen Victoria, of
England, wearing just such a bodice.

glossy hair, which, as is the fashion
of today, is parted just down the CEN
ter.
