COLONEL JACKSON
Replies to MT. Tarrant and Gives Fur
 ther Figures.

Col J. F. B. Jackson, supervisor of roads of Jefferson County, has prepared the fol- lowing statement in reply to an interview given out by President Tarrant of the Board of Revenue, and in defence of his position on the proposed action of the board regarding road fund:
 To the Editor of the Age Herald:
 Captain Tarrant seems in his interview yesterday to have confused disbursements with receipts.
 Auditors report to which he has referred while showing disbursements of $S5 557, also shows that the receipts were only $69. .94O 2 and that the excess disbursements were made from balance of $26,667S0 brought over from previous year. The question at issue, however is not what may have been spent in the past but what we will have to spend in the future. Captain Tarrant will doubtless admit that the macadam levy for the current year is $39529,52; bridge, s9,S92,5S and that owing to the recent in- corporations and extension of various towns by the present Legislature there will be a reduction in the Two Dollar Fund of about 40 per cent, or a collection of about $13,000. This will be a total for next year of $62, 422,10; after deducting interest on road bonds. $11 ,527,75 leaving amounts available for roads and bridges of $50,894 35. I would be glad if the board in the face of the above will explain how they expect to get sS0,000, as has been claimed by in- terviews in evening papers. MT. Francis, tax collector says that in his opinion about 10 per cent. of the above funds will not be collected. So that the available amount for roads and bridges will be $45, ,S04, ,92. but if the Board of Revenue takes the remain ing 5000 of the bridge fund and $15,000 of the macadam fund for next year, then the availale amount to spent will be about $2,804, or about $S000 outside of the Two Dollar Fund, to keep up the macadam roads and bridges of the county.

AN ELABORATE PROGRAMME
Commander WoIlheim and His Officers Will Call On Mayor Capdeville-A Banquet to Be Given at the
 St. Charles Hotel.

New Orleans, January 24-The German cruiser Vineta, Commandant Da Vonsica Wollheim, finished coaling and repainting at Port Eads today and at noon started on her way up the river. The programme arranged by the local committee provides for the vessel to anchor over night at Nine-Mile Point and to come to the city during the forenoon tomorrow for her of ficial reception.
 The Navy Department at Washington re- gently wrote here instructing the local naval officials to extend formal courtesies to the Vineta. Commandant Selfridge had arranged to do so, but Is confined to his home with grippe and will be unable to ap- pear personally. He delegated Lieut.. F. I. Sandoz to repre sent him, but Lieut.. San- dog unfortunately was also taken with the grippe today Consul Von Meysenbug and a delegation of German citizens will visit the cruiser in the morning and Collector of the Port Wimburly will also pay his respects.
 Today the German consul called at the city hall and arranged tor a visit on Sat- urday at noon of Commandant Wollheim and his officers to Mayor Capdevielle. The Mayor and party will return the visit on the same day Consul Von Meysenbug said today that he was unable to tell what effect the death of Queen Victoria might have on the programme of entertainment that had been arranged during the stay of the cruiser but in the meantime prepa- rations are being made to give both off, cers and men of the ship a royal time while they are in port
 The programme includes a banquet at the St. Charles Hotel on Saturday night, at which Consul Von Meysenbug will pre- side and ex-Congressman Buck will be the orator.
 The Vineta is the first modern foreign warship that has visited New Orleans, and for that reason especial interest is man,- tested in her arrival. She carries 40 men and twenty eight officers.

Jones Defended Commission.

MT. Jones of Arkansas maintained that the criticism by MT. Pettigrew of the Dawes commission was not well founded in any respect. The expenditures made by the commission for the appraisal of lands were, he maintained, absolutely necessary in order that the distribution of the Indian lands might be made justly and with care ful regard to the rights of the tens of thousands of persons interested.
 The work, MT. Jones said, was being done economically and thoroughly
 MT. Aldrich of Rhode Island reported-the war revenue reduction bill from the com- mittee on finance, and gave notice that he would call up the measure the first of next week.
 MT. Pettigrew offered an amendment pro- -viding that the Dawes commission shall file an itemized statement of it's expendi- lures to January 1, 1901 and annually there after. The amendment was accepted and an amendment making the total appropria- tion to the commission s324 900 was adopted
 MT. Wellington then. at 5:1O p. m., forced an adjournment by rising to point of no quorum.

THE SENATE,

Washington, January A-The Senate to- day devoted the day to the Indian appro- priation bill and made only fair progress The chief feature of the debate was a sharp attack by MT. Pettigrew on the Dawes commission, which he said was ex- travagant and was accomplishing little in the way of results An interesting an- nouncement made by him was that he did not propose to filibuster against any bill. The shipping bill was not taken up, but tomorrow will witness a. speech on it by MT. Depew. It will then give way to ap- propriation bills, MT. Frye saying today that he did not wish to delay them
 At the opening today the Senate adopted the Pettigrew resolution concerning the reported deportation of A. Mabini, citi- zen of the Philippines. to Guam.
 During the consideration of the appro- priation for Indian schools MT. Butler said he had visited such schools and observed that there were present. taking advantage of the benefits, children who were not h. dians, and he asked what proportion of Indian blood was necessary to secure ad- mission to such schools.
 Mr. Thurston answered that no children are received unless they are regarded as Indians by the tribes, no matter how slight the admixture of Indian blood He had, he said, seen in tepee with woman evil dently an Indian squaw, children of her own who had red hair. It was impossible hes said, to exclude children from the schools merely because they might have red hair or light skin.
 Abuse Was Fragrant.
 MT. Butler insisted that many of the children who were attending Indian schools were white and that the abuse of the Indian school appropriation was flag rant and notorious.
 MT. Teller of Colorado was satisfied MT. Butler was mistaken. He knew personally, he said, that children were not admitted to the Indian schools whose parents did not maintain their tribal relations
 MT. Jones of Arkansas added that he knew many Indian children who had freckled faces, blue eyes and red hair.
 MT. Pettigrew of South Dakota expressed the opinion that the whole Indian school system ought to be overhauled He was in- clined to believe that many of the Indian schools in the East might better be abol- ished and in this connection he referred particularly to the Carlisle (Penn.) school MT. Pettgrew made a vigorous attack upon

In accordance with the warning given
by DR.. O'Iiage about the first Of the
month that unless tn. disease was
more strictly handled in Winona he
would declare "A quarantine against
that place. He has not since bee sat
isfied with the measures taken, and
his action December 20 is the result.
A special from Winona says that

A Copenhagen dispatch says: The

The sum named in the Copenhagen

he paid for the Danish West Indies, is
equivalent to about Sl,.iO,0o IL IL
impossible TO learn whether this is the
maximum price to he offered.
Purely business reasons would oc-
count for the official silence on this
point. II is gathered that Mr.. Sven
son was allowed considerable latitude
in dealing with the matter, but IL is
intimated that he has about reached
the end Of his abilities on this point.
or course an acceptance of his prop
osition by the Danish government
would not complete the transaction.
The transfer can be accepted only nm.
der u form of treaty which must be
accepted by the senate of tn. United

necessity Of providing the money to he
