INDIAN FUNDS IN TRUST.
Proposed to Allot Them to the Credit
of the individuals.

The board of Indian commissioners now
meeting here has in preparation a bill
which will be introduced in Congress at
this session for the allotment to the credit
o. the Indians individually of the trust
funds now held for them by the treasury.
These funds aggregate a very large amount.
probably over S30y000.oO0, and are drawing
very good rate of interest. The alfot-
ted money will not be paid to the Indians
in mediately, except in such cases where
this appears to be the wiser course, but
each will be credited with the amount he
would be entitled to if the funds were actu
ally distributed and interest Will be al
owed on these accounts just as if the
whole amount were held in trust. The eie-
the ultimate payment of the money and
accumulated interest to the alfottees will
be arranged so to safeguard their in
terests as far as possible. The scheme is
said to be looked upon favorably by the
administration.
The commissioners have adopted a reso-
luton strongly favoring the amendment
proposed by Senator Ga1linger to the In
dian territory statehood bill. providing for
twenty-one years of prohibition of liquor
there. Irrigation on Indian reservations
also was considered, particularly as to the
needs on the Pima reservation in Arizona
where the installation of pumping plants
is being pressed by the board.

SUGAR FROM PHILIPPINES.
Louisiana Planters Opposed to Reduc-
ton Of the Duty.

James D. HILL speaking for the Louisiana
sugar planters before the House committee
on ways and means today in opposition to
the proposed reduction of tariff on sugar
from the Philippines to % per cent of the
Dingley rates, said in answer to questions,
that the large crops of last year after
the Cuban reciprocity act went into effect
were due to the favorable conditions which
prevailed, and that the increased price of
sugar was due to the abolition of the car
tel system and the bounty-fed sugar of
Europe. He urged that the reduction of
tariff on Philippine sugar would increase
the products of the island, where sugar
can be grown at much less cost than in
the United States.
