which appears this morning,
we think it is a lesson that will
long be remembered.

Indian Appropriation Bill.

Washington, May 8. The
conference committees of the
senate and house yesterday
reached an agreement on the
Indian appropriation bill. The
differences between the two
houses on the senate amend
ment for the opening of the
UncOmpaghre reservation were
reconciled on the basis of a
provision for the leasing of the
gilsonite lands instead of the
purchase of them. The COM
promise agreement authorizes
any person to take one claim or
lease and hold it in perpetuity
on the payment of a royalty of
70 cents per ton on all gilsonite
mined. There is, however, a
provision against trusts, which
was inserted on the motion of
Senator Pettigrew.
This pro sion forfeits to the
government the claims of hold
ers who enter into combination
to limit production or raise the
price of gilsonite. The senate
amendment for the establish
ment of an Indian warehouse at
Omaha was also agreed to with
a provision extending the time
for its establishment to a year.
The Seneca oil lease is con-
firmed, and one additional
judge is allowed for the Indian
Territory.
