Washington. April 16-The senate
spent yesterday considering the Indian
appropriation bill. but did not complete
it Early in the session the proceedings
were made executive and when the
doors were again opened to the public
the Indian bill came up.
The pending question was on the
committee amendment opening the In

Mr.. Jones of Arkansas, withdrew the
point of order he had made, and on aye

agreed to, SO to 13. The amendment is
as follows: THAT the mineral lands of

to strike out the provision giving tribal
rights to children of a white father and

dominate the Indian.
Mr. Berry (Den., Ark.), defended the
provision on the ground that it remOV-

Secretary Wilson Would Save This
Amount Sent Abroad for Sugar.

Washington, April 16.-The agricul-
tural department is sending out to far
mers and experimental stations a large
amount of beet sugar seed with a view
the seed in certain sections of the coun-
try.
In an interview with regard to the
growing of the seed, Secretary Wilson
I'VE have just finished sending out
sugar beet seed to all of the states Of
the union. They are experimenting
south about as far as the Carolinas and
Texas. Every effort has been made to
procure first class seed. Most of the
work is being done through the expert
ment stations that get the seed from
the department and send it out with in
StructiOnS regarding the cultivation of
the plants and provision for the return
Of samples to the stations in the fall for
analysis.
The department is also taking in
hand the growing of high, heredity su-
gar beet seed. The seed being sent out
by the department is the result of care
full Improvement extending over many
years-in some cases 40 years of time
where every mother beet is tested by
the pOlariscope to ascertain its percent
Of sugar:
This high heredity sugar beet seed
is worth perhaps its weight in gold. It
is the result of the very best work done
along these lines during all these years.
Such seed is exceedingly rare and very
partnaent is believed TO compass the
ownership only of about five pounds of
it. This is being distributed to our
farmers carefully at different stations
in different localities. notably Geneva.
n. Y, Wisconsin and Iowa. Bulletins
are being issued from the department
prepared by experts giving the people
information regarding the sugar beet
in all its relations. Such bulletins Will
be prepared from time to time and the
results will be copied from the several
stations and full information given 10
the people regarding this important
matter.
Capitalists are turning their atten-
ton toward investments along this line
There will be no difficulty about get
ting money enough to erect factories,
which cost from $500, 900 to half a mil
lion dollars. The business men of the
cities have learned thoroughly that
they cannot thrive unless the farmers
thrive,and besides the success of the OK
nards assures capitalists that where all
the conditions of success are carefully
secured to begin with, there is no ques-
ton of the ultimate result. It seems to

CROSS PURPOSES
Senator Baker Does Not Agree
With Some
Republican Congressman From
the State of Kansas.
JOINS WITH HARRIS
In Asking for a lower Duty On
Mexican Cattle
Than That Provided For in the
Dingley Bill.
JOINS WITH HARRIS

Washington, April 16.-The Republi-
can subcommittee of the committee on
finance, held an all day session at the
capitol yesterday to afford an oppor-
tunity to make suggestions on the tar
if bill
Among the senators who called and
had conferences with them were MessrS.
Quay, SeWau, Elkins, Plat, yelling
ton, Perkins, ShOup, Pritchard, Baker
and Harris of Kansas.
Senator Quay urged a rate of duty
upon carpets and mating, which would
insure protection to the industries of
this country as against the products of
China and japan.
Senator Perkins was given an eX-
tended hearing on the fruit schedule
He presented the committee with sam
pies of both California and foreign cur
rants and raiSinS, and asked for an in
crease of the rate on foreign currants.
He also suggested duty of a cent
pound on oranges ana lemons, instead
of three-fOurths of a cent, as fixed by
the DinSley bill
1t was suggested to Mr. Perkins by
some of the members of the committee
that the fruit schedule had already
been attacked because of rates charged
to be high, but the California senator
contended for protection.
Mr.. Perkins suggested a Sub-schedule
on beet sugar providing for a duty of
1 cent a pound on sugar testing 20 by
the polariscOpe and increasing to 11a
cent for the 80 per cent test.
The committee promised to give this
matter due attention, but gave no fur
Their indication of the probable result
of its deliberations.
A more pronounced faVOra BILE recep-
ton was given to a suggestion for a
draw back duty on imported tin cans
in which fruit and salmon are exported.
This suggestion appeared to meet with
favor
Senator Sewau'S suggestions pertain
ed to almost the entire list of New Jer-
sey manufactures and he filed briefs
bearing upon all of them He present
ed a request of the silk nanufa cturers
for a uniform ad valOrem duty.
Senators Baker and Harris asked for
a duty of 50 per ton on gympsum and
for a decrease of the duty proposed on
Mexican cattle. They represented that
a duty of 81 per ton on gypsum and
the west sufficient to supply the
entire country. With reference to cat
tie impOrtations, they represented that
the cattle were needed to consume the
grass crop of the west and that it was
more economical to move the cattle
than the grass.
Senators Elkins and wellington both
appeared in support of the Dingley rate
on coal. which there is an effort to have
reduced.
During the day number Of the Re
publican senator's of the inter-mOun-
tain states met to agree upon plan of
cooperation. They reached no definite
conclusion except to stand together in
their demands on wool, hides, cattle,
lead. ore and other Rocky mountain
products.

AIRSRIP AT WASHINGTON
It Showed a Disposition to Anchor on
Top of the Monument.

Washington. April ia telephone
message received last night from Col
umbia Heights, a suburb of this city,
stated that the airShip was seen in that
locality shortly after 9 o'clock. It's ap-

among the residents. hundreds of whom
watched the strange visitor in open
mouthed wonder. From the reports re

ship which has recently been naVigat-

cagO and other western cities.
When first observed the ship was
coming from the northwest and was
apparently headed for the Washington
monument. It sailed along at height
of about 600 feet, but gradually dipped

JOkERS SEND UP BALLOONS.
Ripon, Wis, April 15.-The hundred
and odd people of RipOn who think
they saw the airship Sunday night were
beautifully caught in a trap by two or
three of the city's best business men.
These went to Ingalls, park, the college
athletic campus, and there fastened to-
gether two large sized paper balloons
by means of wires. The balloons were
then set free and caused the excite
ment.
Strange to say. the eye and ear are
so easily deceived at such times as this
that many of the best citizens were
ready to swear that they could either
see the boat distinctly or hear the flap
ping of wings, when it is positively
known they saw only the balloons.

The following is a special to the Kan

Washington April ia protest was
lately filed with President Mckinley
having for it's purpose the exclusion Of
Congressman Curtis of Kansas as
factor in the distribution of patronage
in ten of the counties of his old dis
trict. He has vigorously combatted
this action, with what result may pos
sibly be seen tomorrow. He was recon-
mended John Virgins as postmaster of
EmpOria. In this he makes his fight
unaided. Cy Leland has recommend
ed Ewing. Senator Baker at present
appears to stand neutral. but reports
run that in this fight he sides with Lee
land rather than Curtis. Practically,
therefore, Curtis has to fight Leland,
Baker and the press combined. The
president has taken the matter under
consideration, with the view of deter
mining not only the issue as involved in
the Emporia case, but as it may exist
generally in regard to redistricted con-
greSSmen.
