BAYARD MAY BE RECALLED.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-According
to the opinion of two or three proba
BILE members of the House committee
on foreign affairs there is a strong pos
sibility that when the committee
comes to consider the matter of Am
bassador Bayard's two speeches, it
may recommend the action proposed
by Mr.. McCall's resolution. That res
olution proposes that the House call
upon the President to inform it what
steps If any he has taken to recall Min
lister Bayard. The question of inn
peachment is not before the House or
the committee in any way.

the other extending the Chicago port

his timely advice to the Indians has
prevented the shedding Of blood No
one knows better than he that mixing
Indians and tirewater has much the
same effect as mixing fire and gunpow-
der. Consequently he loses no oppor-
tunity Of preaching temperance to the
Piutes. h warns them against drinking
whisky. against beating their wives and
against having Indian medicine men
when they are sick. IF you have In
dian doctors" he says sententiousiy,
your neck is stretched. " He does not
pretend 10 have any decided opinions IS
to merits or dement's Of the 4ll0pathlc
and homeopathic schools Of medicine,
but he does know that the Indian medi-
cine man Is 4 quack Of the thirty-third
degree.
Captain Sides is a Piate himself, and
succeeded to his present Office when his
brother, Captain Charley Sides, who had
been peacemaker for many years in Ne
vada and California, went to the happy
hunting grounds. During his 20 years
of service Captain johnson Sides has
probably done moro to prevent trouble
and to eiviIze the Indians than any 9TH
er man IN the two states. Several years
ago the Piutes at Cbisco Creek absorbed
| considerable frewater. donned warpaint
and feathers and began terrorizing the
country.
Sides had a short powwow with the
unruly red men. He told them to scrape
off their war paint, throw away their
whisky bottles, return to their reserva-
ton and obey the laws Of the whites.
His eIoquenee had a good affect, and the
Indians quickly quieted down
Sides believes that the Indians only
hope is TO accept civilization, learn all
they can and leave frewa5er alone Last
winter he placed 50 pupils in the In
dian school at Fort Independent, and he
aids the Piutes in getting work and IN
many other ways
