PLAN TO DISSOLVE.
Tribal Relations Introduced by
Commissioner Of Indian AT
fairs Heartily Approved
by all the Members of
the Committee.

The house committee on Indian
affairs will meet January z to con-
slider the measures affecting the
several tribes. pending before con-
gress.
The committee will be in daily
session until il has disposed of a
number of measures that have been
the subject OF conference during
the recess. The appropriation bill
is nearly completed and will be in
trodueed early in the session.
All of the members Of the COM
mistee are warm in their approval
Of the proposition of Mr.. Jones,
commissioner of Indian affairs, to
speedily dissolve the tribal rela-
tions Of the Indians and TO place
the individual Indians on their re-
sources, stopping their annuisies
and relieving the government Of
their care.
This solution will greatly SIM
plify the problem Of government
in the Indian territory, as it will
open lands for sale and taxation
and make possible internal i'm
provemente that must now be car
ried out only at the expense Of the
government. II is proposed to
continue the Indian schools foI a
period of ten or twenty years, but
70 extend nc further aid TO or guar
dianship over the Indians as rap
idly as thsir tribal relations are
dissolved.
The committee will also frame
some legislation dealing with the
Dawes commission. The exact
nature OF this will not be deter
mined until after the committees
Of both the senate and house have
held further conference with Mr..
Hitchcock, secretary Of the inie-
rior. The sentiment Of majority
Of the members OF the committees
is in favor Of the dissolution Of the
Dawes commission and the placing
OF its work ia the hands Of a bureau
20 be established in connection
with the Indian department. Mr..
Hitchcock has recommended a
different policy and, in Difference
to bis recommendations. no action
will be taken until the matter hes
been fully discussed. Pending ac-
sion by congress the secretary will |

WILD SCENE IN
THE RElCHSTAO.

Berlin, Dec. 4.--The reichstag was In
g state OF wild tumult today for few
minutes over a slight misunderstanding
as to who he'd the right TO the floor
Herr Singer. Socialist, had arranged
with President Won Ballestrem for re-
eognltion at a certain Junctuue. Mean
time the president left the chair after
explaining to Vice President Won Stoll-
berg Wernigerode who had the next
right to the floor, but the vice presi-
dent recognized Herr SPAIN of the Cen
trist party Herr Singer started to
mount the steps to the tribune and the
vice president told him to sit down.
Herr Singer, In some surprise, stepped
on the steps and Herr SPAIN took the
tribune and began his speech with
Herr Singer loudly protesting, for
which the vice president called him
to order saying his turn for recogni-
ton would come later. The members
OF the reichstag were by that time In
such a state Of passion and tension
that they all sprang to their feet, th.
socialists shouting in support Of Herr
Singer aud the members Of the Center
end Right parties supporting the vice
president, who ordered Herr Singer to
leave the house. Herr Singer, however.
deted him and as the rules do not pro-
vide for the arrest or removal Of re-
oalcitrant members. the vice president
was powerless, except TO suspend thu
session for half an hour At the ex-
piration Of that time business was
quietly resumed with the reading OF
the reports of members of the tar
committee.
