Bsii BcIng Prepared to Cover all Mat

wall be the Result.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE indica-
lions are that this Congress will pass
. general bill for the entire rehabili'
tation Of the Indian territory. The
measure rs now planned, will embrace
everything sought TO be accomplished
Ia the past by the Dawes Indian com.
mission, which Is still negotiating with
the five civilized tribes, but which
will be here this week TO report the
discouraging existing conditions.
The bill will cover oil the questions
Of citizenship, nllotments OF lands,
disposition OF townsitcs, mineral lands,
full Jurisdiction Of the United States
courts over the present reservations
aud other matters bearing on the ex-
tinguishmcnt Of tribal organization.
The first steps in the matter have
been taken by the Indian committees
of both the Senate aud House. 1t is
understood that In n few days there
will be n joint session Of the subcom-
mittecs, ut which all these matters
will be gone over and significant steps
taken in the way OF settling the prob
lens by congressional enactment In
view of the large amount Of work nee.
essary TO be done, however, IL is not
probable any bill can DO passed till

LOVED CONSUL K
Citizens of Buenos Ayrcs Show Apprecia-

+. L. Baker Of Lincoln has received
, photograph of the bronze tablet
prepared by the citizens of Buenos
Ayres in memory of his father, the late
Edward Lewis Baker, whose long term
as United States consul was closed by
death last August. This tablet is q
beautiful work of art. Experts de-
clare that it is as fine us anything of
the kind produced in Europe. The
native and foreign citizens of Buenos
Ayres united in raising u fund for this
testimonial. The subscriptions came
in so rapidly that it was necessary to
refuse further offers. After finishing
this tablet and erecting q smaller me-
mortal in the Methodist Episcopal
church the committee had still on hand
about $4,000 in Argentine money.
This was used in lifting the debt on
the cemetery used by the Americans,
and erecting a monument to Mr.. Baker
there also. Unusual honors were paid
to the consul by both governments.
The work done voluntarily by the
people shows that the services of the
consul in the twenty-three years of his
stay In Argentina were fully appre,
ciated,
