KICK FROM POOR 10.

Washington. Feb. Ex-senator Bate
presented to the senate today remon-
STRANGE from the five civilized tribes of
Indians protesting against the passage of
reforms for the Indian Territory as pro
posed in the Indian appropriation bill.
They give two reasons why the legislation
should not be enacted as follows:
First-Because it is not necessary. We
register our solemn declaration that our
people are ready to treat on the lines here
by indicated by congress.
Second-It is unjust, because it puts
our people under extreme DEGREES and
ruinous conditions as Il manifesto and de-
claration preliminary to Il proposed nego-
tiation. 1t is beneath the dignity of the
United States to strike our people TO the
earth while inviting negotiation.

bill of considerable Importance to the arid

March 3. 1891, all the reservoir sites re-
served by the geological survey. There
are 1873 of these sites scattered through
ont the arid country, and this act will
enable them to be put to practical use
by individuals or corporations. Two

Tenth Kentucky district, was entered
upon. and vote will be taken tomorrow.

ton bill and the bill to fix the time and
place of holding court in Utah were
adopted, and a bill was passed to remove
the political disabilities of Col. w. T.
Simms of Kentucky, who was a member
ofsthe Thirty-ffth congress.
Mr.. Hopkins opened the argument in
the HOpkins-kendail contest on the ma
jority report On the face of the returns
Kendall had 2J3 plurality. The point at
issue in the case was as to the vote of
Clark county The election was con-
Quoted under an Australian ballot law.
in accordance with which each party had
an emblem at the head of the ticket. The
emblem of the democratic party was the
rooster that of the republican party
was an eagle about to fly" An illegal
trick, it was said, was permitted by the
clerk of Clark county, by which the
rooster was placed at the head of the
republican ticket and the eagle about
to fly above bogus ticket. That bo-
gus ticket received 10 votes, but it was
claimed by the minority that the change
in the emblems induced many iliterate
persons to decline to vote, and these were
enough to overcome Kendalls plurality.
Mr. Daniels contended there was nothing
illegal in this assumption and nothing as
TO why the vote of Clark county should
be thrown out. The minority report was
read at the conclusion of Mr.. Daniels re-
marks. and at 400 p. m. the house ad-
jOurned.
