DICK. TAXES THE OATH
THE SUCCESSOR OF HANNA IS
 SWORN IN.
Senate Again Spends the Day in the Discussion of the Indian
 Appropriation Bill.

Washington, March 23.-The Senate again spent the greater part of the day considering the Indian appropriation bill. Three hours of the time was given to a discussion of a claim of $50.Oo0 for ser vices rendered the Choctaw Indians. It finally was eliminated from the Indian bill. The civil service debate was renew ed and there was considerable discussion of the policy to be pursued in securing employees for work on the Panama canal.
 The opening ceremonies of the Senate to-day were marked by the official intro .duction in that body of Charles Dick, as the successor of the late Senator M. A. Hanna. MT. Dick made his appearance in the chamber soon after the reading of the journal but was unable to occupy his seat because 1t was completely hid den by floral offerings placed there by friends and admirers. The seat assigned him is on the extreme left of the Demo- cratic side of the chamber A number of other younger Republicans occupy seats in that vicinity.
 Immediately after Mir. Dick appeared he was joined by his colleague, MT. Fo- raker. who announced his presence and stated that he was ready to take the oath of office. The two senators then walked arm in arm to the center aisle to the chair of President Pro Tenn Frye, who administered the oath. This cere- mony performed. Mir Foraker accom- panied MT. Dick to his seat and after in- troducing him to a number of his imme- diate neighbors, sought his own seat on the far side of the chamber. MT. Dick was cordially congratulated by many friends in the chamber. The ceremony was witnessed by a large number of spec tators.
 A bill was passed authorizing the Osage In,ians to dispose of the stone on their reservation for domestic purposes.
 Consideration of the Indian appropria- tion was then resumed.
 Several Senators spoke on the merits Of Mir Sypers claim all agreeing that
 his services to the Indians had been that | of an attorney and entirely legal and legitimate, but Mir. Allison raised the pcint that if the payment of the claim should be decided by Congress. the Choc. | ta,r would have a legitimate claim against the United States for the amount | ordered to be paid. This claim was con tetted by MT. Spooner, Mir. Patterson | an5 other senators on the ground that in, United States stood in the attitude
 of a trustee towards the Indians On motion of MT. Patterson, the amount to
 bs paid Mir Syper was reduced to $25,OOO. ano then the amendment as thus modi- | fed after three hours of debate was de- feated, 8 to 25.

They were taken to the police station. where they gave bond. No disposition has been made of. the cases against them.
 Brought Up by Kohn.
 At special meeting at s o'clock last night, called for the purpose of receiving the reports of several committees, AL derman John P. Kohn asked the courtesy of reading a communication from a sol- league, who was unable to be present and which. he said, demanded instant atten- ton.
 The communication was from Alderman Nathan Lobman. It stated that he had been informed that the Captain of Police and two patrolmen had, on Sunday night, ''overstepped their authority" by enter ing the house of a highly respected citi- zen and arresting therein a number of young men, who were playing a friendly game of cards with the knowledge and consent of that citizen.

Our Coffee Bill.

From the New York Sun.
It Is estimated that the people of the
United States drink 1.50 100000 gallons of
coffee in the course of a year, at cost of
about 10 cents per gallon. The importing
cost of the requisite quantity of coffee ber-
ries for this supply, at cents a pound is
about $75.0O0.090 From this it appears
that preparation, package, distribution and
dealers profits make the price TO the con-
sumner about double the importing cost
Coffee prices for the coming year are like
ly to be nearly if not quite double those of
the last year or two, a result of legiti-
mate commercial conditions. and may even
exceed that as result of specull ton. The
high prices which prevailed ten years ago
led to very great extension of the BraZil-
ian industry, our principal source of supply
for the cheaper grades. An enormous OUT
put reduced prices to a point of little or
no profit In production. and reaction fol-
lowed, with the, result that groves were
injured and permanently destroyed through
neglect to. care for them The crop of the
present year is not likely to be more than
half that of two years ago This will prob
ably send the retail price of coffee up to %
cents, or even 90 cents a pound for fair
and medium grades. though the choicer
grades should not show proportionate in
crease.
