10 Join With Other Nations to
Secure An International Mon
etary Policy.
IT'S W0LC0TT'S PROPOSITION
Nine Commissioners. including Three
Senators and Three Repre-
sentatives.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-In the senate
today Voorhees,, chairman of the finance
committee, presented a comprehensive
resolution for an investigation by a COM
mittee of the effect of the tariff and in
ternal revenue laws. Wolcott then came
forward with a proposition authorizing
the creation of an American commission
to act with foreign countries, should
they take the initiative in an interna-
tional monetary conference. The plan
was offered as an amendment to the
sundry civil bill. 1t is as follows:
"Whereas, The president of the United
States, upon the evolution of Germany
or Great Britain, or any of the other
governments of Europe, shall determine
whether this government shall be repre-.
sented at any international or other con-
ference, to be held with a view to secure
an international policy relative to the
values of gold and silver as money, by
means of a common ratio between these
metals, with free mintage at such ratio,
be shall be authorized to request the
attendance of of a commission, to be
appointed az hereinafter provided. to so
attend such conferences in behalf of the
United States.
"The number of such commissioners
shall be nine. The president of the
United States shall appoint, by and with
the consent of the senate, said commits
sioners prior to the adjournment of the
present congress, three to be members of
the senate and three of the house of
representatives. If, after the adjourn
ment of congress, there shall be any
vacancies in said commission by death,
resignation or otherwise, such vacancies
shall be filled by appointment by the
president"
The amendment makes available $780,
600 for the expenses of the commission.
1T is satisfactory said Wolcott, "to
those who vote for bimetallism, and it
should be satisfactory to those gentlemen
who talk for bimetalliem and who vote
against it, and who wait with ravlshed
eyes to see what England will do"
He asked that the amendment go to
the finance committee. Hale suggested,
as the sundry civil bill was soon to be
considered, there should be no delay in
getting the amendment from the finance
committee and the appropriation COM
mittee.

A GOOD INDIAN.
He Was Buried According TO the Presby-
terrain Ritual.

He Was Buried According to the Presby-
terrain Ritual.
IGNAC1o, COL, Feb. 22..-Piah, one OF
the most trusted Indian police on the
reservation, was buried here yesterday,
having been attacked by pneumonia,
The burial services were conducted
under the regulations of the Presby-
terrain ritual and the remains were cloth
ed in full police uniform. This is the
fourth Indian that has been buried
under the services of Christianity since
the federal government has had control
of the tribe. The services we're attend
ed by the entire number of the tribe
now encamped about the agency, and the
impression made upon them was interest
ing. Usually the bodies of the dead are
placed in a ravine or washout and COW
cred with stones and brush and pieces of
blankets to brighten the coyotes away
from the spot.
Piah was one Of the agents most
trusted officers and was considered at all
times reliable and trusty; he was an
Indian who never showed a disposition
to lie or steal, and be stood we'll among
the members of his tribe, principally on
this account. This was most clearly
brought out at the burial yesterday,
when an aged squaw, supposed to be
Plah's grandmother, approached the
grave weeping bitterly, and walled:
"Piah no steal; no lie; all time good
Injun; forty SHOWS all time good I%njun."
Piai was about 40 years of age.

Special to The Tribune.
HELENA, Feb. o. This mornings ses-
sion in the senate took the palm tor
brevity. Chaplain Coombe waxed elo-
quenti in his opening petition to the throne
of grace. That the invocation met with
the approval of at least two senators was
evidenced by sonorous "Amens' from
Steele and Flowerree. After the read
ing of the journal the senate adjourned
until tomorrow afternoon at 9 o'clock.
This met with considerable objection
and though a motion to adjourn is sup
posed to be non-debatable, there was a
good deal of discussion. Steele thought
the senate might consider business on
the general file. Hatch wanted to have
the motion to adjourn withheld long
enough for the standing committee to
make reports. The motion for adjourn
ment was finally modified to the hour of
2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon which was
carried.

secutes Dana of the New
York Sun.
New YORK, Feb. GA Washington
special to the World this morning says:
Frank B. Noyes, business manager of
the Evening Star of this city, and one of
the most prominent and popular young
men in Washington, announced this
evening that he had t%elegraphed his
lawyers in New York to have Charles A.
Dana, editor Of the New York Sun,
arrested for criminal libel. The Sun this
morning printed a long editorial article
attacking the management of the Asso-
ciated Press, in the course of which was
this sentence: "They (the subscribers
to the Associated Press) may see the
way to making such a thoroughly dis
honest director Ct. B. Noyes of Wash
ington, for instance,) refund to them the
amount of the extra assessments out
of which they have been buncoed."
This attack on Mr.. Noyes created
a sensation here. No one stands
higher in the capital than he,
either in business or society. Noyes
acted promptly. In the Star tonight the
leading editorial article concluded with
these words: For this malicious per-
sonal libel committed without a shadow
of justification or excuse the Sun shall
be made to suffer if there is any virtue
in criminal law in New York" In &C
cordance with this, Mr.. Noyes has early
telegraphed to New York for counsel,
but could not conduct negotiations on
account of it being a holiday. His case
will probably be conducted by General
Swayne. The matter will be taken up
in the morning and the papers will be
prepared. On Sunday Mr.. Noyes will 60
to New York and finish preparations for
the prosecution of his criminal suit.
