Indian War Claims.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-There is hope
for The old Indian war claims of Oregon
and Washington Represeotative Htr-
mann secured q reference of bis bill pro-
viding payment, to the court of claims,
and II is now en- The dockets of that court
Bills for payment have been pending for
years in congress The amount of these
claims is So. .296 65S. The original claims
| for the people of those two states arising
out of the IndiaD wars OF 1855 SO
amounted to $6,0O0.O0O Congress In
| 1856 directed the secretary of war TO re-
port the expenses of the war. He ap-
pointed Ingalls,, Smith and Grover as d
commission, and they reported in favor
of payment.
The committee on military affairs, un-
der Alexander H. Stevens, referred the
matter to the third auditor, Robert j. At
kipson. He reported adversely, and CRIT
lcsed the prices as exorbItant.
The house then, by resolution, referred
the whole matter back to the third aud
I.or fer full examination. He reported
the claims back, reduced to the extent of
$2,714,S08. Congress appropriated the
money to pay this sum March 2. 1861.
Every delegation In congress since then
has labored 10 secure payment of the
disallewed claims, and Mr. Hermann has
directed bis etfnrs TO nave the claims re-
examined by the court of claims, SO that
congress shall have II just statement The
committee on war claims, of which Mr..
Hermann is > member, favored this course
because il was shown that the third aud
itor admitted IN bis report "that the do
cumeDts and orders as to calling out VOL
unteers have not all been furnished" He
further said: my action, therefore,
NAV be considered IN great measure as
in the nature of scaling of prizes, rather
than an adjudication or Endorsement of
the claims, so tar as allowed" He asked
THAT additional means should be placed
at his authority, so that he could send a
person TO tie territories" He asked for
$4,000 but it was not appropriated Ee
finally ssid, "If, therefore, it shall appear
that my action has been in any degree
erroneous in consequence OF want of per-
sonal knowledge of the suhjsc,, or of full
and reliable data my apology must be
found IN the fact that serious difficulties
surrounded many points necessary to be
Investigated in order to arriYe at correct
CONCLUSIONS and that the means of OBJ
tanning information at my command
were limited" /"
Mr. Hermann argued to the war claims
committee that this is the hest proof that
the original claims we're unjustly scaled
and not examined with sufficient care,
and that the claimants should even at
this late day be allowed another lnvestl-
g,tion. so>that another appropriation can
be made for such of the disallowed claims
a. shall be found to be just. The COM
m'ttee agreed in this view 1t is expec
ted that at least So, 900, 600 will be found
slll due TO the old settlers of Oregon and
Washington. and this action is, therefore,
of great Importance to many.

The East End Ball.

The grand ball Of the East End Hose
Co. was quite literally patronized last
night, and the floor was croH ded with
merry jewellers in the. may dance from
the time the first number on the program
was called until the last was named.
Decorations in the hall were very tastily
arranged, and showed that the members
of the company had spared no pains to
make the place attractive. Music was
furnished by Prot. Birgteld's orchestra,
and this was all that could be desired for
the enjoyment of the evening. This is
the first ball given by the East End Hsse
Co., and its success will be a matter of
congratulation to the many friends Of the
company. Organized since the great fire
of September, 1891, In a portion of the
city where that devastating confagration
began, it should be a matter OF pride thst
1t receive liberal support. The members
arc some of the principal business men,
and they give their time aud effort to the
organization without the least expectation
of reward, and in case of fire, their untir-
ing labors for the prevention of destruc-
tion of property are gratuitous. VOlun
teer fire departments are not sufficiently
appreciated, and too much praise cannot
be given to these selfsacrificing fremen
who, during such emergencies, perform
herculean tasks to preserve property from
flames. The Dalles has an excellent de-
partment,well organized and well drilled,
and, wi til the water supply as ii now is,
ne great confagration need be feared in
the future. Not only the residents of the
East End, but of the city generally, will
earnestly desire that the enjoyable party
of last night will be frequently repeated,
and that the people will often be privl-
legged to mlngle with the members of the
East End Hose Co. in social events.

in the Slippery Rock country about 40
miles east OF Dinubia this afternoon. The

distance when Evans and More came
out of St. Cialr's house near nv and I'M
mediately opened fire on the officers The
latter had the advantage of being sep4r

from both sides. as Evans ano Morel were
in a line betSe them. Instead, 1t Is

bandits diligently firing upon them. Af
