Senate Amendment to Indian Bill Re-

Washington, March 1O.-After a de-
bate in the house which lasted more
than five hours, the senate amendment
to the Indian appropriation bill provid-
ing for the free entry Of ceded Indian
lands, was today non-concurred in by a
vote of SO to 1856.

made gallant struggle, but they met
the opposition of some of the prominent
leaders on the republican side, Messrs.
Dingley, Grosvenor, Dalzell and Payne,
and they were further weakened by the
fact that many of the friends of the
proposition were alienated by the be-
lief that, as drawn, the amendment
would work injury to the agricultural
colleges of the country

cation of the Seminole treaty was also
non-concurred in after the substitute
proposition offered by the conferees to
