INDIAN BILL PASSED.
Third of the Big Appropriation Meas
ures Through the House.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE
house gave today to the Indian ap-
preparation bill. passing it sub
stantially as reported. This is the
third of the appropriation bills to
pass and it clears the calendar of
the big supply bills, although an
other. the agricultural, will be
ready and knocking for attention
by Monday.
Mr.. Sherman, Republican, of
New York. explaining the provi-
sions of the Indian bill, said that,
while the appropriation was in ex-
cess of the estimates. no items
were appropriated that had not
been approved by the executive
authorities. He said the princi-
pal increase was for the Indian
schools, more than So, 5000 for
that purpose. This amount did
not include contract schools. as
the question of sectarianism was
completely eliminated. Nor did
these figures include the New York
and Indian Territory Indians,
whose education is paid for out of
their own funds.
Mr.. Little, Democrat, of Arkan-
sas, spoke in commendation of the
bill, saying it had practically no
new legislation in it. He felici-
tated the congress especially upon
the fact that the question of secta-
rianiSm had been entirely elimi-
mated from the appropriation bills.
He also gave notice Of an amend
ment providing money for the ed
ucation of the white children in
the Territory. The children there
were entirely without means of Sc
curing schooling, and the country
must either educate the children or
allow them to grow up in ignO-
rance or as outlaws.
After an extended debate on
amendments of a minor character,
the bill was passed substantially as
reported, and at 4 o'clock the
house adjourned.

that he would not be responsible for
his wife's bills after January l. The
lady was quick to see her opportunity.
She realized that for ten days between
the dates mentioned her husband
would be responsible, so she went all
over San Jose and bought everything
she wanted and few things that she
did not want. She was quite pleased
with her success and managed in the
ten days to buy up several thousand
dollars worth of goods. When the bills
came home the husband tore his hair.
But the shopkeepers demanded their
pay. They were told to go and whistle
for it. Now suit has been brought
against the hard-hearted husband, and
in addition to the original bills he may
have to pay court costs and lawyers
fees.

Nebraska Man saves % and Loses $3.50
Worth of Cattle Thereby.
From the Sioux City Journal: W.
Bartel, well-to-do farmer and feeder
near Hubbard, Neb., saved - in
bridge tolls yesterday afternoon and
lost $3.50 worth of cattle for being OF
an economical turn Of mind. During
the day he had been to the stock yards
and purchased forty-five head of feed
ers from R. Becker & Degen, and ear
ly in the afternoon he started to drive
them to his home. Before leaving he
was cautioned not to drive them across
the Ice, as the ice was considered I'M
safe because of the thaw of the past
few days. which made it rotten. Cattle
drivers at the yards offered to help him
to the bridge for paltry sum, but he
knew thing or two himself and re-
5ected all offers and assistance and
good advice. and started out with his
cattle. They were turned in toward
the river near Jones street, and instead
of stringing them out he let them go
on the ice in bunch, and before he
had time to realize that catastrophe
was imminent the leader of the cattle
felt the ice giving way and they slack
ened their pace and soon all were
huddled together in bunch. The Ice
gave way under the combined weight
of the herd and all but two were pre-
cipitated into the murky and chill wa
ters of the Missouri river. Mr.. Bartel
threw up his hands in horror when he
saw so many good hard-earned dol
lars, represented in cattle, go under
meath the water, and sat down on the
river bank and began to cry. For
tunately number Of cowboys from the
yards had followed along at a respect
ful distance, anticipating just such an
accident. and they were soon on the
ice rendering all the assistance possible
to save the cattle. Arizona BILL a
typical cowboy, and one of the charac-
ters about the, stock yards. put spurs to
his horse and was soon on the Ice
showing the boys how they do things

nothing but long ropes for lariats he
cast the. lariat with as much precision
as though on the plains. AS the rope
settled around the head of "critter"
he would give it to the other boys.
who would all pull together and get the
"critter" on sound ice, and while they
were engaged in this Arizona Bill
would have another "critter" ropped
and ready to be dragged out. 1t took
quick and hard work and they were
successful in saving thirty-two out Of
the forty-five that went down. The
saving of SO many in such a short
space of time was due to the expert
ness with lasso of Arizona Bill, who
never missed throw out OF the thir-
ty-two. Thirteen cattle were drowned
and their carcasses were strewn along
the river clear to the stock yards. The
cattle which were saved were soon
rounded up and driven back to tho
stock yards and after short rest they
were again started for Nebraska, but
this time Mr.. Bartel concluded that
1t was much more economical to cross
on the bridge.

POSTMASTER KILLED.
Another Unprovoked Political Murder Con,
mitted In the South

Washington, March 5.-The post
master general is Informed that spe-
cial agents of the department have
been instructed to inquire into the
facts. John Il. Freeman was appointed
postmaster at Ada, Georgia, village
not far from the city of Aiken. He
accepted the office, made his bond, and
forwarded 1t to the Postoffice Depart
ment- The day he took charge of the
office there was an attempt on the
part Of some ruffians to draw him into
a quarrel without any cause, with the
intention, as he believed, of killing
him, but he avoided the trouble and
went home. The next night he was
shot in the back from an ambush near
his home and killed. He was a white
man, and until his appointment had
been highly respected in the commun-
ity. The friends of his predecessor
however, expressed great Indignation
at the change in the office, and warned
Freeman that 1t would be bad for him
II he accepted. This incident and the
atrocious murder of Postmaster Baker
at Lake City, South Carolina, last
week were the subject of serious CON
ference in the Cabinet to-day, and the
President spoke with great faai'''-

admission for the first time that While
the President does not anticipate war,
he recognizes that there is a possibil-
ity of hostilities growing out of the
Cuban problem and the Maine disas-
ter and that he proposes to be pre-
pared for It.
There has been ample evidence of
this in the preparations patent to
everybody. which have been in prog
ress for some time, but there has been
no official admission to this effect until
now.
Eight men-of-war which are practic-
ally completed in foreign shipyards
have been offered for sale in the Unit
ed States. The President has given
consideration to the advisability of
placing an option on them.
The Navy Department has been care
fully watching the construction abroad
through the eyes of its naval attaches
at London, Paris. St Petersburg, Ber-
lin. Vienna and Rome. This surveil-
lance has been maintained for two
months. but more especially since the
Maine disaster.
Through the attaches and from the
shipbuilders themselves. the secretary
of the navy has learned that he can
now purchase two small-siZed battle
ships. two armored cruisers and four
torpedo boats. all mt n comparatively
low price. The builders have promised
that they can deliver the vessels to
agents of this government at this time
complete in every respect. and all that
will be necessary for the administra-
ton to do will be to order the neces-
Sary details of officers and men to pro-
ceed to the ship yard. to 90 on board
the vessels and take them TO any point
which may be desired.
The builders have urged that the
purchases be made at once. as they
say that a declaration of war between
the United States would result in the
enforcement of neutrality measures
and prevent the sale of the ships.
The battieships and armored cruisers
have been built by English and Ger
man firms for governments which are
now unable to pay for them. and now
this government would be able to OBJ
tain the vessels by simply putting
down the amount of cash. The four
torpedo boats have been offered by the
Thorncroft Ship Building Company.
whose boats are recognized by experts
TO be among the best In the world.
While your correspondent was unable

have been offered to this government.

them are three powerful ships under
construction mt the Vulcan works. Stet-
tin, Germany. for the Chinese govern
