Summary of the Daily News.
WAsHINGTON NOTES.

A TELEGRAM received at the interior
department announced that four Win
nebago Indians were stranded in Lon
don and are seeking funds to return to
their reservation in Wisconsin. Secre-
tary Smith has suggested that the state
department advance the funds, to be
reimbursed by the interior department,
and If this cannot be done, arrange
ments will be made for their return by
private parties, to be reimbursed later
by the government. 1t is not known
how the Indians reached London, but
it is believed they were left there by
a travelling show.
SENATOR CocKRELL presented num-

tion bill prohibits all Indian children
from attending any school more than
40 miles from their reservation until
they have gone to the school provided
for them at home four years. This
provision, if it is enacted into law,
will have the effect of reducing the
number of Indians sent away to east
ern schools and very materially in
creasing their home education.

THE treasury officials have informa-
ton that the law of August 2, 1856, as
to the sale of oleomargarine, is being
violated by dealers in all parts of the
country. These violations consist prin-
cipally in selling oleomargarine at re-
tail in packages not properly marked
and branded, and in offering it for sale
after it had been removed from the
original stamped packages. Steps are
being taken by the officials to punish
every violation of this act that they
may discover.
On the Indian appropriation bill,
at the last moment, the house gave to

provides that on all lands opened to
settlement on September 16 last, set
tiers shall be granted the right to OBJ
tain tax title by paying the price for
their lands provided for in the presi-
dents proclamation. This gives the
settlers who are able to take advan-
tage of it their lands nearly four years
sooner than they could otherwise have
acquired them.
