Indian DaY.

A very pleasant afternoon was spent
at the Coterie, Wednesday afternoon
when Indian day was observed.
The parlors were prettily decorated
with Indian pictures and relics, furnished
largely by G. III. Engle of Hartford, who
gave an interesting talk on Indian Gus
toms and work.
Mr.. Engle explained the value of the
Indian clubs, which are becoming SO
popular throughout the state, in fur
thering the industries of the Indians by
bringing their goods before the public.
thus assisting in creating a market for
them. He spoke highly of the unselfish
efforts OF Chief Pokagon during his entire
life,, which resulted in the securing from
Chicago parties of $4,000, which fell to
the remainder of the tribe of Pottawat
tamies about the time of his death.
The program, which was opened with
piano solo by Bertha Wise, included a
violin solo by Aileen Buskirk and reel
tation by Carlos Cole. A vocal duet was
rendered by little Misses Stevenson and
Grimes, accompanied by Mrs. WEIGH.
During the roll call which followed.
many interesting features of Indian life
were recited.

Freedman, Robinson and Soden of the
National League went into session at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel this afternoon
and after a two hours session the
regular meeting of the league was

1t was reported that John Brush
had won over two more of the mag

information Brush now has Freedman,
Soden and Robinson back of him, while
Dreyfus, Rogers, Hart and Abel are
seeking the election of A. G. Spald-

An hour after the evening meeting
began President Young came from the
room and remained out for some time.
He intimalted that the presidential
question was being informally dis

A GOOD DAY FOR SAVANNAH.
TREASURY AND HOSPITAL BILLS
INTRODUCED.

Senator Clay Fathers Both Meas
ures-Both Have Good Prospect of
Passage-CharIeston No Longer
Opposes the Sub-Treasury Scheme
and Surgeon General Wyman Has
strongly Recommended the Loca-
ton of a Marine Hospital at Sa-
vannah.
Washington, Dec. 10.-An energetic
effort is to be made during the present
Congress to have a sub-treasury of the
United States established at Savannah.
Senator Clay to-day introduced a bill
In the Senate with that object in view.
The proposition, while not new, has
brighter prospects of success now than
in previous Congresses.
The officials of the Treasury Depart
ment are favorably inclined towards
Savannah and there is a general feel
ing that the commercial interests of
the coast line section of Georgia and
contiguous states would be greatly
benefited by a sub-treasury located at
Savannah. In former years, when the
proposition has been brought forward
by Representative Lester and others
interested in Savannah, their efforts
have been checked by counter propo-
sition in favor of Charleston. At one
time, Charleston had a sub treasury.
but the business did not justify its
continuance, so 1t was abandoned. All
the commercial bodies and financial in
situations in Savannah and the lead
ing cities of the South are in favor OF
establishing a sub treasury at SaVan-
nah, and 1t is believed that Senator
Clay's bill will become law this ses-
sion It is understood that Charleston
will no longer play the dog in the
manager" and set up a counter claim
for the mutual benefits to be derived
from the establishment of such a
necessary institution.
Senator Clay also introduced a bill
providing for the building of Marine
hospital at Savannah to cost $l25,000
The Surgeon General of the Marine
Hospital, General Wyman, has strong
ly recommended the location Of such
a hospital In Savannah and the pros
poets for favorable action upon Sem
ator Clays bill are regarded as ex-
ceilent.

1000 killed, he would have been court
