GERMANY's NAVAL. BILL.
Opposition to the Katser's Demands
Appear TO be Weaker.

BY cable 10 Inc Associated FreSS.J
BERLIN, Dec. 9, 1S97-The Reichstag,
today, resumed the debate on the first
reading of the Governments Naval BILL
Herr Hammacher, National LIBERAL de-
clared his party unanimously approved
the principles of the measure and at
tached the greatest Importance to the
Navy In connection with the export
trade, the speaker thought the CONNER
cial policy of the United States and Great
Britain should be particularly considered.
Herr Caller Peoples party, said his
party would oppose the bill which, he
declared, was the first step towards the
establishment of naval absolutism.
Guns, Herr Caller continued, cannot
open new markets. South Germany is
absolutely opposed to the measure"
Herr Zimmerman declared the Reform
party desired to favorably consider the
measure, but they demanded guarantees
that the burden of new taxation would
not fall upon the distressed middle
classes. He believed a majority of the
party would vote for an amended bill.
The Bavarian Peasants Association,
Herr Hilpert, reserved its decision pend
ing the Governments explanations rela-
tive to the manner of providing the
money necessary.
After other speeches had been delivered
the Naval bill was referred to the Budget
Committee.

vexatious problems in Indian Territory
involving the reorganization of the Terri
tory in matters relating to the Indians
The Raves Indian Commission is now
negotiating with the five tribes, but the
outlook is not very encouraging. and some
important legislation along the lines of

The Commission will be summoned here
shortly by the Secretary of the Interior

mittee will be deferred pending the APP
pearanee of the Commission before it to
explain the situation there and to make
recommendations. So far only two tribes
have ratified the Commissions agree
ments. These are the Choctaws and
Chickasaws and the agreements made
with the Cherokee and Greeks have been
rejected The Seminoles, also, have not
taken any favorable action and in view
Of general disappointing outlook arbi-
trary legislation is expected to be enacted
to accomplish what overtures on the part
of the Government have failed to do.

JACKASS DINGLEY.
lErom the New York "sun.ol

[From the New York "Sun."l
The Secretary of the Treasury, the Hon.
Lyman J. Gage, has sent to the Speaker
of the House of Representatives the
usual annual report of the nations n
nances For the year ending June 30 last
he shows deficit of $18,O52, ,454; for the
current fiscal year, he estimates one OF
SIS, 100000; and for the fiscal year 1889 one
of S21 647 1885, The last two items are mere
guesses and may or not prove to be cor
rect. Certainly unless ali signs fail, the
deficit for the current fiscal year, even
after crediting up the extraordinary re-
ceipts from the sale OF the Union
Pacific Railway, will considerably ex-
ceed $4,000, O0O
TFrom the New York Evening Post"
Blow upon blow has befallen poor Mr..
Dingley and his deficit since reaching
Washington. Senator Aldrich's grim 81
lence spoke volumes. 1t was not neces-
sary for him to say anything; what he
had publicly predicted about the failure
of the Dingley bill was coming to pass.
Senator Allison almost gives it up. He
admits that the prospects of more re-
venue are gloomy, though he is willing
to give Dingley a month or two more.
After that-taxesl But, the deadliest
stroke Mr.. Dingley has had to suffer
is in the official estimates submitted by
the Secretary of the Treasury to Con-
gress. In them the deficit for the cur
rent fiscal year is put at $2S,o00,o0O, and
that for the fiscal year 1S98-'99 is esti-
mated at $21, ,647, COO. That is to say,
after giving Mr. Dingley all the time he
asks, after waiting not merely month
or two but year or two the Treasury
officials report that the Dingley bill is
destined to heap deficit upon deficit. In
the face of this report the duty of Con
gress is clear and imperative. 1t must
without delay find the money to pay the
governments's bills. We say nothing of
the terrible retribution which will over
take the Republican party if it does not
at once put its hand to this work. The
question is larger than a merely partisan
one. To omit to provide sufficient re-
venue after it is officially declared to be
inadequate, is to do the country a griev-
Gus wrong, is to throttle currency re-
form, to chill business, to discourage
enterprise, to alarm foreign capital seek
ing investment here. 1t is the first and
main business of Congress to make the
Treasury solvent and put an end to the
deadly Dingley Deficit.

A very select and brilliant wed
ding occurred at the home of John

April 18th, 1897. in which 7. w.

WOOD RIVER BOOMING.
LITTLE WOOD RIVER HIGH
Err THAN At ANY TIME IN
MANY YEARS.

| The recent winds have rapidly
melted the snow in the mountains
and the result is that Little Wood
river is higher than for a number
of years. Wednesday morning the
water began to raise, and yesterday
morning the north side people
could only cross by fording the riv-
er from the south end of the lower
bridge. Nearly all bridges in the
county have been washed out and
those remaining may 60.
The county commissioners had
men busy all OF Wednesday night
anchoring and otherwise protecting
the bridges that remain in place.
Late Wednesday night a body of
water broke over the bank at John
O'Hares house and almost entirely
wrecked it. The water is about 7
feet deep IN his yard.
The cellar of r. J. McMahon's
grocery store is completely filed
with water, and it was owing 20
large force of help that he was able
to save the large stock Of merchan-
disc stored therein.
The stable of E. j. Andrews and
several lesser buildings have been
taken from their foundations, and
the company pump house is filed
with water.
Two miles of railroad is reported
under water about Is miles west of
town.
1t is thought that all further dan
ger is past, as the weather is turn
ing cold and the water will recede, |
but as Big Wood river is carrying
its overflow into Little Wood there
is a good deal OF guess work about |
the matter.
