Senator's object to "A Tennesseean for
ColvilIe Iusiian Agent.

Washington City, Jan. 14-Special-The
appointment of George W. Newman 10
succeed Capt. Budd as Indian agent at the
Colville reservation is still hung up in the
committee on Indian affairs, the Repub-
lcan majority of which Is strongly in
favor of home rule. Several close friends
of Senator Wilson in the state of Wash
ington have requested him by letter and
by wire 10 look after Agent Newman's
confirmation. They forget that Senator
Wilson has always opposed the appoint
nent OF peoDle Of other states TO positions
within his own state. This course he con-
sstently followed in the house, and says
he has no reason for doing otherwise in
the senate. Senator Bate, of Tennessee, is
working TO secure the confirmation OF
Newman, who is a protege of his, and
there is a probability that in case the COM
mitteee should make an adverse report
upon Mr.. Newman's confirmation, the
Democratic minority report. which, OF
course. would be favorable. might be taxi
en- up and adopted. For this reason, there
fore. il is likely that the nomination will
be hung up for some time. Mr. Newman
is from Tennessee. and Senator Wilson
thinks the Democratic party should have
selected some one sIOm the state OF Wash
ington TO be Indian agent of the Colvilles.
In any event. as now organized. the COM
mittee on Indian affairs in the senate VIII
continue 10 oppose tne AnJI-nOHle Fule pom
cy of the Democratic administration. Sen
ator Wilson states that there are many
good Democrats in the state who could be
induced to take the place. and If President
Cleveland would name almost any one OF
these. he would be promptly confirmed by
the senate. The principal candidate from
the state OF Washington for the Colville
agency is Patrick Dillon, OF Davenport,
ex-sheriff of Spokane county. Dillon
stands well with his party, but has no
show among so many place-seeking
SoutheTners.
Capt. Bulbs resignation. coming as II
did Immediately after the investigation by
Agent Lane, has led many people TO believe
that IL was a result thereof. The commits
soner OF Indian affairs states that this I'M
preston is an injustice 10 Capt Buhb that
he asked to be relieved before any charges
were filed against him. and that when he
learned OF the investigation. he wished 70
withdraw his request, but IL was too late.
having already been acted upon by the war
department and the Indian Office.

covered Their Disposition.
From Garden and Forest.
The essential cultural requirements Of
orchids were not known till long after they
had attracted the attention OF horticultur-
lists. 1t is interesting to note the struggles
OF our great-grandfathers to discover the
conditions most suitable for them. We who
know all about IT are surprised that any
intelligent cultivator should have tried to
grow epiphytic plants sin common soil in
pots plunged to the rim in a tan bed" Teak
baskets, sphagnum moss, peat fiber and
charcoal appear to us to be exactly what
any intelligent schoolboy would have rec
commended as supplying the right material
Ter an epiphyte. But, like all useful discov-
cries and Inventions simple as they appear
to us they were not worked out without
much thought. experiment and the sacrifice
OF many plants. One of the shrewdest of
notanists working in the van of the horti-
cultural art of his time, DR.. Lindley stated
In a paper read to the Royal Horticultural
Society in 1880 that thigh Temperatures
deep shade and excessive humidity are the
conditions essential to the well-being of
Orchids Thirteen years later another
orchid authority, Mr.. Bateman, recon-
mended the same treatment, adding that
resting season was necessary. This treat
'nent became the only orthodox one. and
vas pSiS.S'Su HI III up"siiu VI tnifty years.
We now recognize that fresh air at all
times is essential, that many orchids enjoy
bright sunshine, that while some require
plenty Of moisture all the year round
others require it only for portion of the
year, and that some even thrive only when
treated as If they were cacti. The tenn
perature for exotic orchids varies from a
purely tropical to that of a few degrees
above freezing point, and while some spe-
cies during growth are kept in hot
steamy atmosphere, and after growth is
completed are removed to comparatively
cool and dry conditions to afford them
rest others suffer II the conditions are not
fairly uniform all the year round.
