The movement for the popular cleo
ton of United States senators is lnov-
ing slowly, but it is surely moving. At
it's last session the legislature of Penn
sylvania authorized the appointment
of committee Of two senators and
three representatives to confer with
the legislatures of other states with the
view to bringing about the submission
of an amendment to the federal cOnsti-
tuition for the election Of senator's and
also Of president and vice president by
popular vote. This committee has just
held a meeting in Philadelphia, at
which it was announced that commune
cations have been received from the
secretaries of state of every state in
the Union except Arkansas and that lin
the western states particularly there Is
q strong feeling in favor Of electlng
United States senators by popular vote.
It, was decided to ask other states to
send representatives to a conference to
be held next spring with the view Of
adopting uniform plan of procedure.
There is unquestionably strong senti-
ment throughout the country in favor
of the election Of United States SEN
ators directly by the people, and the
plan suggested in Pennsylvania seems
likely to concentrate this sentiment in
to an extremely effective force.

GOOD INDIAN wAsHAK1E.
4 Monument Planned for an Old
Wind River Redsl<in.
(From The New York Tribune.)


Plans are being made by officials of the
Indian Office for the erection CT an artis-
tic and suitable monument upon the plot
where the remains of the noble Indian
chief. Washable were buried last Febru-
airy. His grave is situated in peaceful,
picturesque section Of the post cemetery
at Fort Washable, which was named after
the old man long time ego.
Washable was a sworn friend to the
white people. endeayOred always to main
tain peace. is quoted in history as never
permitting a white mans blood to be shed
II he could prevent it. and he was esteem
ed by all persons with whom he came in
contact, both Americans and his own peo-
pie.
The report of Agent Nickerson of the
shoshone Agency, which contained news
of Washakie's death. said that there was
a larger attendance at his funeral than
had been seen in the vicinity of the Wind
River Reservation in the last twenty
years.
Washable was born, as nearly as can be
estimated. although some authorities say
that he was much older, in 1876. He
fought in many battles, displaying fine
qualities as warrior. and at all times
treating his enemies and captives with
great kindness.
WAS -SuDlIe anu active unlll lew
months before he died, when he became
physically weak and feeble. but his mind
was clear, and his last wish. which he
expressed through an interpreter day or
SO before he died, was that he be buried
| a Christian in the Fort Washakie Gene
terry and have military funeral.
This wish was gladly fulfilled, for he
was loved by all the officers of the post.
and he was buried with the houors of a
Regular Army officer.
Washable was not only the chief Of the
eastern band of the Shoshones in Wyo-
ming. but was the head of the entire tribe,
some branches of which are scattered in
parts Of Montana and Utah. Whenever
portions of the tribe desired to make re-
quests of Congress, or when disputes arose
with other Indians. Washakie's advice was
solicited and considered of value.
His remarkable oratoricaI ability has
been commented upon by all the Govern
ment officers who have visited the Wind
River Reservation, and a member of the
Bureau OF Ethnology once heard him
preach fine sermon. He said it showed
considerable familiarity with the Bible
and was expressed in plain but attractive
words Of the Shoshone language.
Washable was great promoter of
Christianity and education, and the pres
ent intellectually of the Shoshones, as a
band is largely due to his strenuous ef-
forts. He compelled all of the children of
his tribe to go TO the public schools in the
rural district where he lived, $50 miles
from railroad, and was instrumental in
sending several of his tribe to the Car
Isle school. One of these has since be-
come minister in the Episcopal church,
to which Washable belonged
