ROBBING INDIANS.
A long discussion was carried on by
Senator'S Gallingsr 8Rep:. n HI Allen A,lI
| turning upon the question of over-charg-
! ing the Indians on reservations for goods
sold by Indian traders. The conduct of
Lieutenant Colonel Freeman in suppress
ing newspaper published in the Usage
nation, was argued pro and con, by the
two last named senators, Mr.. Allen TAX
ing the ground that the action was des-
potic and illegal. and Mr.. Jones excusing
it for the reason that the newspaper in
question had been publishing articles
against the Indian schools.
The only incident worthy of notice oc-
CURED while the chair was occupied by
Mr.. Perkins qaep.. Cal.). Mr.. Allen had
been making a long speech when Mr.
Gallinger GnterruptinG) addressed the
chair.
Does the senator from Nebraska yield
to the senator from New Hampshire?"
asked the presiding officer
1T is the senator from New Hamp-
shire Mr.. Gallinger put in. who has
yielded to the senator from Nebraska.
For how long does the senator yield?"
the presiding officer asked, with an un-
mistakable touch of sarcasm.
Il do not know Mr.. Allen broke in,
angrily. What concern is it of the pre-
siding officer how long the senator yields?
am not here to be badgered by the pre-
siding officer of the senate, and 1 hope it
will not occur again
BITTER SARCASM.
The presiding officer took no notice of
this angry outburst and Mr.. Allen went
on with his speech. which ne closed with
the contemptuously uttered words. With
my thanks to the chair for the courtesy
which have received, yield the floor.
The committee amendment for the pay
ment of $4,000 to the Pawnee tribe of
Indians out of their trust land money on
deposit IN the treasury was agreed to

A long controversy arose over the old
question of attorneys claims on the
Western Cherokee funds-to the amount
of sSGO,366, the committee amendment pro-
posing TO confer jurisdiction of the sub
ject on the court of claims.
The amendment was severely criticised
by Mr.. Chandler. who was responded to
by Mr.. Pettigrew (Sil.. S. ID. in charge
glands solicitude for the poor Indian as a
partial atonement for what New England
had done in her early history against
the Indians. The latest page in the his
tory of the Angl0-Saxon race, he asserted,
was the treatment of the Indians By the
people of Massachusetts In illustration
largely from Abbott's history of King
Philips war.

Mr.. Pettigrew responded. that ne can /

The presiding officer-The senate will
have to endure the senator from South /
Dakota. Oaughter.)
HOAR REPLIES
Mr. Pettigrew's speech was replied 70
by Mr.. Hoar. who spoke of it with great
show of Indignation, as 'mousing into
the ancient history of New England
and suggested that the the person" who
had just spoken. had studied more his
tory for his speech than he had done in
all his life before" Uaughter9 The
dish. Mr.. Hoar said. had occurred $50
years ago, and yet that was the only
argument that the senator from South
Dakota had been able to make to oppose
the attack upon the amendment.
Il can only Mr.. Hoar added (facing
Mr.. Pettigrew and speaking with all the
scorn he could lend to his language).

very nest in which he was born"
After this stormy season no attempt
was made to get a vote on the amend
nent.
