cants must appear before the board
in their respective townships. The
applications, after being passed upon
are to be referred to the county board

Appropriation A Bills.

Washington, April 3.-The senate
committee on appropriations today
agreed to report the sundry civil and
Indian appropriation bills practically
as agreed to before the adjournment of
the last session of congress. A few
verbal changes were found advisable
and an important change was made in
the provision in regard to the opening
of the Uncompaghre Indian reservation,
in Utah.
This provision was presented as a
senate amendment at the last session,
and agreed to by the house. The house
struck it out when it passed the bill at
the beginning of the present session.
The senate committee again recon-
mends the inclusion of the provision
but reduces the number of claims of
gilsonite one person may take from
four, as originally provided, to two.
A change was made also in the pro-
vision for the right of inheritance Of
children born of white fathers and In
dian mothers, SO as to provide that the
mother shall belong to her tribe 'by
blood" The original provision made
it "by blood or descent" The bill
probably will not be reported until next
week. The deficiency bill was moi
considered.

Copper amendment Forgo,ten.

Washington, April S.-Through an
oversight, during the consideration of
the Dingley tariff bill, the house neg
lected to adopt the amendments to put
copper on the free list prepared by the
ways and means committee. Conse-
quently there is no provision for copper
in the bill. Not having any special
mention, copper falls into the basket
clause at 20 per cent ad valorem.
In the original draft of the BILL the
Mckinley rate of cent per pound on
copper was retained. The subject was
brought to the attention of the commit
tee second time, and as it appeared
no copper is imported into the United
States and some is exported, the COM
mittee saw no reason why it should not
be included in the free list. A clause
providing for it in the metal schedule
was stricken out by the house, but the
amendment putting it on the free list
was not offered.

CUBAN QUESTION UP AGAIN
Senators the Friends Of the

-FOUR RESOLUTIONS READ
For Recognizing Insurgents as Bel
iIgerents and Calling for Infor-
mation--AIIen Would Save Rivera

For Recognizing Insurgents as Bel
mation--AIIen Would Save Rivera.
Washington, April 3.--The Cuban
question was revived in the senate to-
day after long period of comparative
calm. Four distinct Cuban resolutions
were brought forward in rapid success
sion. The last and most important
one came from Morgan. 1t declared
that q state Of war exists in Cuba, and
announces the policy of the United
States to maintain strict neutrality
as between both parties to the conflict,
with full recognition Of the insurgents
as belligerents. Morgan gave notice
that be would call the resolution up at
the next meeting of the senate, with
the expectation OF securing final action.
OF the other resolutions two were
agreed to. One calls on the president
for letters of General Gomez to himself
and to Cleveland, and for other infor-
nation. The other, by Mills, instructs
the committee on foreign relations TO
report what obligations the United
States has assumed by compelling Cuba
to remain subject to Spain. Both res
olutions were passed without opposi-
tion. Still another came from Allen,
and proposed a protest against the re-
ported purpose of the Spanish authori-
ties to try General Ruiz Rivera, the
Cuban officer, by military drumhead
court-martial. This led to an animated
controversy between Allen and Hoar.
The discussion went over to come ur
with the resolution for the recognition
of Cuban belligerency at the next meet
ing.
The tariff bill, passed by the house,
was received by the senate as soon af
the session opened today. Without
motion or comment, the presiding Off
Ger, Mr.. Hobart, referred the bill tC
the committee on finance.
An interesting incident of the ses
sion was Senator Chandler's refusal t.
agree to final vote on the treaty to
day. He called attention to the pres
dispatches in regard to the situation il
Crete, and said he did not feel disposed
to enter into negotiations with an,
power whose guns were trained upon I
community Of Christians struggling t.
throw off the yoke of MoslemIsm. H,
also spoke of England's conduct toward
the Beers of the Transvaal as deserving
of condemnation, and cause for hesi
tation in the negotiations. He said hi
would probably in the end vote for tn
treaty, but he was not in the mood TO
it today.

A trapper who has been hunting and
trapping on the Malheur river south OF
the agency valley this winter, reports
to the Vale Advocate one of those
prodigies of nature known as a wild
man. The Advocate says the biped is
of giant stature, being at least seven
feet high, having long and massive
arms that reach to its knees, while the
whole body is covered with curly,
glossy hair.
In the chase after the escaped con-
victs from Idaho, one of the officers,
Hugh Fulton, had peculiar accident,
and narrow escape from death. At
Vale, when he was mounting his horse,
the animal backed into we'll sixteen
feet deep. Fulton went down first,
and the horse after him. BY a remark
able chance, the animal did not fall on
him. Fulton received couple OF
broken ribs. The horse sprang to its
feet and began to strike at Fulton, and
came near crushing his skull before a
rope could be lowered to the endangered
man.
