THE FREE HOMES AMENDM MENT
VERY STRONGLY OPPOSED BY
SECRETARY BLISS
Injustice Would Be Done to Both In
dians and Settlers and Bad
Precedent Established

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Chairman
Sherman of the Indian affairs committee
of the house received from Secretary Bliss
a communication in which the latter takes
strong ground against the adoption by the
house Of the free homes amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill, adopted by
the senate. The secretary thinks such
legislation would be inexpedient, as It
would be taxing the entire people for the
benefit of few. The letter points out
that there are two classes of lands which
would be affected by the proposed legisla-
tion. The first of these are the lands
held in trust by the government for the
Indians to be disposed of for their bene-
fit. for which a direct appropriation of
approximately $12, ,000 900 would have to be
made to reimburse the Indians. The sec
ond class are those lands purchased di-
rect from the Indians for specific sums,
aggregating S25, 100000 in round numbers.
This money was to be reimbursed to the
United States by persons who settle on the
lands. Probably half of this land has been
entered by settlers, upon which there has
been paid by them less than q million dol
lars.
The total loss, therefore, to the govern
ment which the enactment of the free
homes clause would entail would approx
innate s36,000,000. Secretry Bliss also shows
that the proposed legislation might en-
barrass the agricultural colleges, which re-
ceive stated sum each year from the
proceeds of the disposal of public lands
within the boundaries OF the states in
which they are located
Another question which the secretary
asks is on what principle of equity and
justice could the United States refuse to
return on ceded Indian lands the large
amounts in good faith paid into the treas
ury?
1t is also represented that the proposed
legislation would affect several pending
indian treaties, as the United States would
have to assume the payment of the money
demanded by the Indians for the session
of their lands In the event of the ratifica-
tion of such agreements by congress ?
There are also number of other Indian
reservations which in the course of time
might possibly be opened to homestead
settlement and the policy outlined in the
proposed amendment might, 1t is urged.
II enacted into law, place the United
States under obligations to appropriate
money sufficient to pay the full value of
lands that might in the future be ceded to
the government

ENaLAND's QUEER VILLAGES
One Town in Which There Is Neither
Church Nor Schoolhouse

| Scattered throughout the area of Great
Britain are numerous towns and villages Of
| a curious character. One large village ac-
| tually consists OF old railway carriages,
even the little chapel mission being built
of four large horse trucks. Another vil-
lage, with a population of HOO and a rate
able value of fS00O, has neither church,
| chapel nor school, the only public edifce
being a pillar letter box.
| Villages with a single inhabitant are not
unknown. At Skiddaw, In Cumberland,
there is a solitary householder. who can.
not vote, because there is no overseer to
prepare a voters list, and no church or
other public building on which to publish
one; while the only rate payer in a certain
rural Northumberland parish has recently
declined to bear the expense of repairing
the road, because he considers 1t quite good
enough for himself.
In the isle of Ely there 10 q little parish,
which has been somewhat contemptuaus-
ly described as q portion of land, with
three or four houses. and, perhaps. twelve
| inha abitants." This place has no roads at
ALL and is consequently put to no expense
in keeping them in repair. AS matter OF
fact, there are no expenses of any kind
and no rates.
One of the most remarkable villages In
this country is Kempton, near Bedford.
which Is seven miles long and extremely
struggling. To walk from one end Of the
village to the other occupies two hours.
Sometimes whole villageS will practically
disappear. A little Shropshire village has
| gradually sunk until now 1t ia almost out
of sight. 1t is built on disused coal pit,
and the sinking goes on steadily every
year. Now and then tottering house Is
propped up to keep 1t standing, but, in
spite of all precautions, buildings are con-
stantly falling to the ground. and in course
of time doubtless nothing will be left but
a few bricks to mark the spot where VII
lage once stood.
There are plenty of deserted villages
throughout the country. diversion Of
trade into other channels Is sometimes
sufficient to produce this effect. Not many
years ago the proprietor Of an iron works
at townlet near Sheffield, being unable
to obtain certain concessions from rail-
way company, removed his works. Shortly
afterward half the place was to let, and
the windows of many of the houses were
| boarded up.-Tid-Bits.

A SPANISH WAR
Continued from Page One.)

jares, archbishop of valladolid, has added
another danger to the long list threatening
Spain, by giving such boom to Carlism,
and no student of Spanish history would
be surprised were an outbreak to occur
shortly in the northern provinces. The
text of this letter shows that it practically
amounts to a manifesto in favor Of legiti-
mism as the sole remedy of the manifold
evils existing in Spain. The Carlists are
using the manifesto for all 1t is worth, de-
claring it to be one of the blackest, yet
most truthful paintings of the condition of
Spain under the reign of Maria Theresa.
The Correo, organ of the Carlists, calls
the pastoral letter IAN outburst from a
soldiers heart suffering the miseries of the
fatherland, and indignant at the insults
offered to the Spanish flag by the North
American merchants-from the heart of
an apostle filled with compassion for our
brave soldiers fighting and dying without
glory, the victims of treachery," and says:
''The prelate clearly points out that the
Carlists are the only party with the neoes-
sary cohesion, strength and faith to carry
on the glorious traditions of spain,''
Even the Liberal Impartial stoutlY COM
mends the cardinals action.
The semi-consternation which was cre-
ated at the time of Prince Henry's visit,

they are now erecting quick-firing guns
and searchlights. At the entrance of Port
South Harbor there will be light powerful

A SMALL WAR SCARE
Big Enough to Drive Money Out of
Circulation

NEW YORK, March 5.-The Commercial
Advertiser today says: The weekly state
ment of the Associated banks, issued to-
day, is regarded as one of the most re-
markable in recent years. There was a
decrease of $2S S,193,9Oo in the net deposits,
and more than $13,5OOOOO decrease In the
loans, The decrease in depoc.ts is the
largest on record. March, 1871, it was
22,00O,0O0. All kinds of reports were circu-
lated regarding the statement, but as to
the decrease in loans it may be stated that
the city banks, the Chase and other large
banks, refused during the week to mark
down their rates of interest and many of
the loans were consequently paid off.
These banks will, therefore, show re-
duution in the amount of loans and dis
counts and an increase of cash in hand. A
large amount of money was sent to the
country during the week, which accounts
for considerable decline in deposits.
