THE ARREST Of INDIANS.
Secretary HHl>c Smith Recon- mensls 8,
Law towering the Procedure.

The Secretary of the Interior today sent
10 the House draft of bill providing
that an officer seeking the arrest OF al
Indian upon a reservation shall first de-
mand of the agent or officer in charge OF
the reservation the delivery. of the Indian.
and If there is no agent officer present
a the time, or if he refuses TO deliver Tie
person wanted, the officer may enter the
reservation and make the arrest. The o1,i-
Ger IN charge of the reservation can in all
cases, ii is believed, make arrests with
less difficulty than Other persons. The he
cessity for this legislation, the Secretary
says. was brought to the attention of the
interior department through report from
the War Department of the attempt of a
local sheriff 10 enter the White Mountain
Apache Indian reservation III Arizona. with
a posse. to arrest Indians belonging there
The attempt was resisted 10y the Indians
and resulted in the killing of one of then,
by the Sherihs posse.

THE HOUSE.

The House today returned to the consil-
Grafton of the legislative appropriation hill.
The amendment offered yesterday TO abol-
ish the fee system 10 United States mar
shals and district attorneys and to rubsti-
tute salaries. ranging from s2.G9o TO $500.
was the pending proposition.
Mr.. Cpdesraff Uowa) made the prin.ipal
argument in support of the amendment.
He went extensively into figures TO show
the rapid Increase of the expenses Of the
federal courts. which had doubled since
lSSS, when they Were s., ,S6I, ,Sli. Under fh.
present system he said, they We're capable
OF INDEFINITE expansion. over ~ per cent
OF the actions brought by these Zee officers
nad failed last year 1t was impossible
10 estimate the reduction of expenditures
but il was thought that a saving Of at
least syn.@p would be effected during The
1irSt year Reductions would ultimately
be effected in oIher directions. Frivolous
and vCNatious suits would be discontinued
Mr.. Cpdesraf said that he had received
a telegram today protesting against the
bill ard saying that IL mar shals and at
tor1eyS were placed on salaries the clerks
would be ruined unless they We're salaried
also If United States clerks were to be
ruined because they received only " hat
was legitimately due them in fees from
cases leSitimately brought then he p.olld
be glad TO See them ruined. The ainond-
ment also provided for the appoint nent
of United States commissioners by district
judges and the Attorney General To hold
Office for term of four years and fixed
the fees to he received by them consi,!ara-
bly, below the present scale.
4 Step ia The Right Direction.
The judiciary committee would have been
glad. he said. 10 have placed commission
ers on salaries, but they had thought IL
unwise to invite the resentment OF too
many enemies This amendment would NOT
cure all the evils i'm the federal judicial
system. brt it would he big steU I'm the
right direction. Mr. Swanson (Na). in sup
port of the amendment, denounced ihe fee
system and quoted the words of United
States judge in North Carolina, wlN de
olared tha. n'ne-tenths of the indictnk nts
found in his court were for the sole Mr.
pose of making fees for the court officks.

present question is one of honor. She will
strain every nerve If it means war;"
Commenting upon the situation, the Matin
says: "Spa.ns Indignation is justified but
we advise her not to take extreme decisions
by which she would iniure her own in
tercsts. Americans are accustomed to these
superb declarations, but they are often with.
out effect. as in the case of Venezuela"
The ,Estafette trusts that President Cleye.

dependence Of Cuba adding: Spain will
not allow herself to be intimidated by the
arrogance of the American Senate"
The Sole!l says: 1.-The Spaniards, who DID
not tremble before Bismarck. will not trem.
BILE before the Americans when the day OF
action arrives. Spain is strong in her in.
dependence and intractable pride, and Will
not recede."

THE URUAN INCIDENT
Representatives of Great Britain and Vene-
zuela to Negotiate Directly.
May Have an Important Bearing on
the Adjustment of the Entire
boundary Question.

1t has been learned that the British am
bassador here, Sir Julian Pauncefote, and
the Venezuelan minister in this city, Senior
Andrade, have entered into direct negotia-
tions for settlement of the Uruan incl
dent, which involved the arrest of British
Police official in the territory in dispute
between Venezuela and Great Britain, the
hauling down of the British flag and a
subsequent Cemand for an indemnity upon
the part of Great Britain.
May BE Blessing in Disguise.
There is every indication that this Truan
affair, which originally threatened to in
Yolve Great Britain and Venezuela in scri-
Gus trouble, may prove 10 be blessing
In disguise 10 those who desire a peaceful
and early settlement of the difficulties that
have existed between the two countries.
for IL Will doubtless be made to serve
as baSlS Tor the re-eStabliS5ment of dip
lomatic re!a lions between Great Britain
and Venezuela, after a suspension for
about zen years. Once this is done il is felt
that i'll :he present temper of both coun-
Tries the way will be opened to direct nego-
t;ations r.speo ting the boundary question,
anu in this manner settlement will he
effected without the Intervention of any
third nation.
The Demand Modified.
III is understood that the original British
demand for indemnity for the Cruan affair
has been so modified as to separate it ell
tlrely from the boundary question, and t;Ius
render it easier Of adjustment. AS 1t now
stands the British contention is simply that
British officer was ill-treated, without
reference 10 where the i'll treatment oc-
cured and on this demand for indemnity
Is based. In other words, the British ae-
mand assumes that there is right 10 ex-
act indemnity even if the British oftcia I
was in Venezuela at the time of his ar
rest. Put on this ground the incident close
ly parallels the incident that gave rise 20
the Corinto affair, namely, the Ill treat
nlent by Nicaragua of a British officer, n
that instance a consular officer, aud the
only question at issue is one of fact. whet her
or not the individual was ill-treated. This
should not he difficult of ascertainment and
adjustment. and once this is done the way
VIII he open to the resumption of nesotia-
items as TO the boundary dispute. BY at
lacking the problem in this fashion the
special tribunal created by the Unite
States to ascertain the location of the
boundary line may pe rendered useless, bat

CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS.
The Attorney General May BE Asked
About Their Scope and Power.

The Attorney General May BE Asked
About Their Scope and Power.
The Senate committee on judiciary has
not yet taken any action on the subject of
the extent and power of concurrent resolu-
tions passed by Congress, and whether or
not the executive has authority to veto
them, or whether they are merely an ex-
preston of the opinion of Congress. AS the
resolutions relative to Cuba are concur
rent the decision of the judiciary committee
on this point will be interesting. 1t is un-
derstood that Senators Hoar and Hill, vino
were appointed subcommittee to consider
this matter. will request the opinion of the
Attorney General upon the resolutions in
troduced by Senator Hill.

that The advantage is on the side of Spain,

ion that The House of Representatives

tate. If Spain is the conqueror, awkward
complications might be brought about. On
the other hand there is nothing to show
that Gen. Weyler will fare jot better than
Martinez de Campos.

Paris Papers With Spain.

PARIS, March 3.-The newspapers of this
city continue their unfavorable comments
upon the action of the American Congress
on the Cuban question. The Figaro, for ex-
ample, says: although President Cleve-
land is not a man to recoil from a conflict
with Spain should his election interests re-
quire it, he will resist the excitement of
Congress. The American statesmen will do
well not to eXasperate Europe with the
Monroe doctrine. 1t is certain that Spain
will not recede, and 1t is difficult to see what
benefit the United States will derive from
war;"

GREAT ADVANTAGE TO FARMERS.
American Government to Establish a
biological Survey.

Washington. June 1.-THE secretary
OF agriculture will establish depart
ment on July to be called the biologi-
cal survey. The result is expected to be
q tremendous economic advantage. Ag-
riculturists, horticulturists and stock
raisers are to be given charts showing
the exact position of each state and
territory where certain animals and
vegetables can be advantageously rails
ed. Those will be supplemented by a
large catalogue containing every land
animal and vegetable of the world, and
indicating the areas In which they may
be raised or cultivated by Americans.
Millions of dollars are thrown away
each year by farmers and other pro-
ducers who plant seed in the wrong soil
or climate, or who undertake to breed
animals where the atmosphere and food
resource Is uncongenial. An efficient
corps of naturalists connected with the
biologieal survey will make detailed
survey of the whole country, counting
and classifying the living species found
in each county of each state and terri
tory. They will also note the condi-
tions Of climate, altitude and soil, will
note how far each condition influences
the distribution Of the species. The
chief of the new survey will be DR.. c.
Hart Merriam. A survey Of the entire
country will be made and charts will
then be published showing the exact
location Of the various species. No
other country in the world has ever in
stituted a survey of this kind.

The other side Of the question was
supported by MIR. Hepburn, Of Iowa,
who spoke for the majority Of the COM
mittee on credentials. He appealed to
the convention for fairness.
''Here." he said, speaking Of those
contested cases, "is the astonishing
spectacle-in view of all the traditions
Of the party-of a Republican national
convention trampling under its feet,
ruthlessly, remorselessly the doctrines
of equity and Justice to which the Re-
publican party has pledged itself dur
ing all the years of its eventful exist
ence." (Applause.)
Mr.. Hepburn spoke contemptuously
Of some person who had denied Mr.. Ad-
dicks "Republicanism," describing
him as "a little gentleman" quite volu-
ble-he might almost say volatile
where intellectual proportions were in
exact ratio to the geographic lines Of
his state" Naughter.) That gentle
man was the only person who had as
serted that the Addicks delegates were
not Republicans.
Whom would Mr.. Higgins represent?
The people of Delaware, who said they
would not have Mr.. Higgins, or the ma
jority of the committee on credentials,
who said that he was to have the seat?
Mr.. Grosvenor. Of Ohio, spoke in ref
erence to the Texas case, givingiits his
tory, and claiming that the Grant dele
gates (whom are Mckinley men) were
entitled to the seat. ~4

The vote was first taken on the Della
ware case, those favoring Addicks vot-
ing aye, and those opposed no. The noes
were declared to have it and the minor
ity report on the Delaware case was
rejected. A similar result with even
greater emphasis awaited the minority
report as to Texas; also that portion OF
the minority report referring the other
contests back to the committee, the
minority report in each case being over
whelmingly defeated. The majority re-
port was adopted amid cheers.
General Harry Bingham, of Pennsyl-

The rules recommended We're identical

the changes Indian territory was given
six votes instead Of two and Alaska

Mr.. Grovesnor moved to adjourn till

Der of ayes and noes was raised. The
chairman declared in favor of the ayes
and at 5O7 p. m. the convention ad-
jOurned accordingly.
