WOlcOtt Takes the Secretary of the
Treasury to Task in Very Sharp

IermS.
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-In the senate
this afternoon Mr.. Wolcott Coli, chairman
of the committee postofices and post roads,
made remarkable and caustic arraignment
of the secretary of the treasury, on account
of the secretary's fippant treatment of a
request made by Mr.. Wolcott's committee.
MT. Wolcott said that on March 10. the
committee on postoffice and post roads had
asked the secretary of the treasury for his
opinion upon a postal savings bank system
similar communication had been sent to
the postmaster general and a courteous and
extended reply, in due time, had been re-
ceived.
The views of the secretary of the treasury
upon the question were particularly desired
by the committee. it expected that
some opinions of value would be presented
After waiting for an unusual time, the
committee. Mr.. Wolcott said, had received
the secretarys reply.
81 have to report to the senate said he
that the reply was of such nature that
1 have been unanimously instructed by the
committee to respectfully return it. Before
it was sent to the committee 1t was given
to the newspapers. 1t was not of character
in consonance with the Importance of the
subject. The whole circumstances of the
case are most remarkable. l will not ask
here to have the letter of the secretary read.
1t was fppant and impertinent and has no
place on the records of this body.

last evening over the Chicago Great
Western with Dunkards from Iowa.
Five trains arrived last night from
Chicago over the Wisconsin Central
with Dunkards from points in Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia. Others are from Nebraska,
Kansas and Missouri.
The entire party will be scattered in
settlements in the Turtle mountain
country, the DEVILS lake region, and
in the Red river valley. They will set
tie largely on government lands. They
are an Industrious people, good farm
erS, and desirable class of settlers.
They will not go to law with one anoth-
CT, Seldom marry out of their own cir
Gle, and avoid politics, but are law
abiding. frugal and live well.
The immense task of handling the
exodus can only be appreciated by
railroad men. 1t is said that the plan
of moving the Dunkards to settle upon
the prairies of the West was originated
9gra ataX Bass, of the Great Northern
Se,,sscS who realized the value they
would be to the Northwest and to the
railroads. They are growing SO rapidly
and were spreading out over so much
valuable land in the Eastern states
that, when the first colony became set
tied in North Dakota and could report
to their brethren that they were pros
pering. it took but little inaucement
to move the rest.
Something About Dunkards.
During the last three or four years there
has been a large movement of Dunkards,
or German Baptist Brethren, to North Da-
kota, until now there are no less than
twenty settlements of these people in that
state. The principal colonies are in the
vicinity of Cando and DEVILS Lake. and
at other points, where they have been at
tracted by the opportunities to get free
government homesteads. The United States
land office at Devils Lake shows over g.
0OO entries in the last eighteen months, the
largest number during any similar period
since the office was opened. There is still
room in the same district for several thou
sand more homestead settlers, and the pres
ent year promises 70 see much of the va
cant area in that region in the hands of &C.
cupants.
The Dunkards, already located. express
themselves pleased with their new homes
in North Dakota The same labor they give
to small farms rented ones in the East,
is now devoted with results all their
on farms belonging to themselves, or will
belong to them, when they have complied
with the five years of occupancy and cult
walton required by Uncle Sam. Until patent
is granted the homesteader has not taxes to
pay his land.
Col. Max Bass Idea.
The Dunkard movement to North Dakota
inaugurated by Max Bass formerly
connected with the territorial office Of i'm
migration. but now with the Great North
railway. AS the Great Northern COM
peny has no lands for sale in that state
the Dunkards have located on free lands or
else purchased farms the crop and other
plans from private owners. Mr. Bass
