further knowledge of the crime

impulse TO talk, and after n few
minutes reflection, told the officers
he had nothing TO say. but that If In
spector Hunt would call OH him later
in the day he might talk to that officer.

Improvements Needed on The Missouri
River at Sioux City.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE secretary
Of war has transmitted to congress a
letter of the chief OF engineers on the
preliminary examination Of the Mis-
souri, river. The report on which
the letter Is based vas made
November 16 by Captain II. II.
Hodges, giving the results OF the pre-.
liminary examination Of the Nebraska
side Of the Missouri river, opposite
Sioux City, from the point in Nebraska
where an extension of the lower limits
of Sioux City would intersect the Ne
braslta side of the river and up the
river to a point in Nebraska opposite
the mouth of the Big Sioux river, pro-
vided for by the river and harbor act Of
August II.
Captain Hodges reports that he con-
sidcrs the part Of the Missouri river
covered by the present examination
worthy of improvement to the extent
necessary for the protection OF the cav
ing bank between the revetments al
ready constructed on the South Sioux
City front. The views and conclusions
of Captain Hodges are concurred in by
Colonel o. NJ. Hoe of the corps of en-
gineers, the division engineer and by
the official chief engineer. No detailed
survey is necessary in order to submit
a plan and estimate Of the improve
ments needed.

senate committee on Indian affairs
Thursday for an investigation Of the
action OF the interior department In it's
removal Of the Lower Brule Indians of
South Dakota from their reservation.
He charged the department with ar

dams from their homes TO the
agency last winter, confiniug them
in tents on the open prairie,

he says. 20 of the 100 died. IL is now
proposed 10 subject the entire tribe
membership to this same treatment,
and the senator thinks tho department
should be stopped from this proceed.

more cruel thing was ever done, and
declared that In this respect tho cxpnl.
sion OF the Acadian peasants was not a
circumstance. The committee has not
taken action upon the senator's re-
quest.
The probabilities are that the 1853, 600
acres OF land embraced in the ceded
Yankton reservation willno be thrown
open to settlement until next spring.
The department informed Congress-
ia Picltler that the preliminaries
have nil been perfected and that tho

old directors, for its ina bility to carry
Mr.. Morris said that his contract
with the Di.tiilers' company, providing
for the feeding OF o 1000 or 40, 900 head
OF cattle during the winter, had an
other year TO run, and while he re-
GREETED very much the necessity of talk
ing legal measures to protect his I'M
doubted rights, he supposed he would
have to sue the Distillers' company for
damages.
Mr.. Morris said that, owing to the
now price of cattle last fall when feed
was short in consequence Of the drouth.
and the probable high prices which
they will bring in the spring, his cattle
feeding contract with the Distillers'
company would have been n profitable
one, but, as tho Dis,illers' company
was not running i,8 disti!lcries, he
would lose this profit. His only re-
dress was, therefore, "a suit for dam
agcs against the Distillcrs' company.
Mr.. Morris added that he was out OF
the Distillers' company and he denied
the rumor from New York that he had
associated himself with the Woolners
~ anyone else to form a combination
among the distilleries not controlled by
the distillers' trust.

NEW FORK, Dec. THE Evening

the actual character of the yacht that
will be SEM to this country next year
for the Americas cup, except that at

will then be known. Other matters of
interest connected with challengers
and directors have generally leaked
out, however, IN the past, and are sure
To- do so this year.
1t is said by those in a position TO
know that the challenger will be a
kee! boat. the good windward work OF
the Faikyrie in the last race OF the SER
les of 1893 having demonstrated that a
keel boat properly built and sailed, is
the equal OF the centerboard boat in
