CENTER behind the anal fin and a few black
spots on its back Many OF the specimens
dlssected under the microscope Contained
ripe eggs, comparable with the merest

In diameter. The females are slightly
larger than the males. The former average

An odd fact in regard to these in

Many varieties OF fishes Of every size
abound In the lake. but the sinarapan are
by far the most numerous.
The Bicols when fishing for them use a
large sheet Of close web, which they dip
under the water whenever a school con-
~gresates They are gathered In tightly
woven baskets, from which the water soon
drains, saving a compact mass OF the little

uncooked into cakes and dried in the sun.

Removing Restrictions.
Senator Gamble Of South Dakota, as
chairman Of the senate committee on In
dian depredations, presented today In the
senate, In reference to the present law
under which claims growing out OF depre-
dations committed by Indians on the prop
erty Of the whites are prosecuted in the
court Of claims, a report which is Of much
interest to the people OF all the western
states. The subject OF the report is a bill
introduced by Senator Warren Of Wyoming
to remove, from the law two conditions to
the allowance Of these claims, viz: that the
person suffering the loss must have been at
the time a citizen Of the United States
mat II luulhuS COMMITTING the Dep
relation must have been at the time not
hostile to the United States, but, as the
law states it, "in amity.s The committee
In this report unanimously recommend that
the requirement Of citizenship be removed.
as proposed by the bill. On the subject of
eliminating the requirement Of amity Of
the Indians the committee has had several
discussions and has not been able to agree
to recommend the amendment. The discus
sion on this point is adjourned to the floor
Of the senate, where a number Of western
senators will desire to be heard in ad-
vocacy Of removal Of this condition in the
law. which they regard as a harsh and un-
1ustihable discrimination The bill will
come up for discussion in a few weeks and
an interesting debate is expected.
Friends Of the bill believe enough votes
can be counted on to pass II through the
senate. either as introduced or with slight
modification , .As the bill read originally It
would In broad and simple terms wipe out
the whole requirement of amity of the In
dams. 1t seems not unlikely that a sort Of
compromise provision will be adopted BY
which payment shall be made for losses
suffered at the hands Of all Indians who
were at the time of the depredations in
treaty relations with the United States.
Some critics Of the bill have thought that
to restrict 1t to this would be more con-
sistent with our policy toward the Indians
as established before the passage Of the
present law in 1891; while the friends Of
the bill think this provision would not fall
very short of giving all they have asked
for. 4s
