 MT. clapp said he would not object to the elimination of the committees amend ment
 AIr. Clark of Montana, moved to re- jeet the amendment and MT. bafollet1e proposed an amendment prohibiting rail- roads or the owners of railroad stock from acquiring the coal lands.
 MT Lafolette expressed the hope that MT. Clark's motion would not prevail and added the conviction that affairs were so intolerable in Indian Territory there should be affirmative legislation. He announced his intention to later ad- dress the Senate on the subject
 Mr Clark of Wyoming opposed the motion to strike out, saying that to sell the lands outright was preferable to the present leasing system. To continue the present plan he urged. would be to place q monopoly of the production of coal In the lands of twenty or thirty people.
 Without disposing of any of the motions or amendments the Senate went into exc cutive session at 5:sO and 5:S7 adjourned.

Babb may allow the Giants to train at Memphis, but insists that he will force a fight by playing Philadelphia March 25. instead of the New Workers. Both big league clubs have signed for this date' and Babb has announced unequivocally he will not allow the Giants to make any attempt to play that day.
 Manager Vaughan is trying to convince Catcher Garvin that he must sign the contract with the clause concerning the right of the club to discipline him when occasion requires. Garvin was given to understand that unless he plays with Birmingham, he will play nowhere, as Vaughan refuses to sell, release or trade him under any consideration. The signed contract is due Friday or Saturday.
 Elsey will appear Monday with the other men. Everything is fixed now, as Vaughan has accepted the compromise terms agreed upon by him and Mike Finn. and Fisher is willing. The Nash vile fans are apparently delighted,

Indian Bill Taken Up.

After further debate the date of the vote was fixed for o'clock, Friday, March 9. The Indian settlement bill was then taken up and Mir Aldrich suggested that in view of the importance of the subject involved and the lack of infor- nation on the part of the Senate the whole matter should be deferred. He urged the adoption of a resolution ex- tending the tribal government but MT. Clapp objected because of the difficulty of securing the cooperation of the House of Representatives
 MT Long made the point that Con gress had been considering the question at issue for eight years. He contended that there was no danger of the loss of the land in the railroad grant be- cause he said there would be no reversion of the land now owned by the Indians to the government of the United States "The tribes do not end but their tribal government does he said
 Mr Aldrieh then presented a resolu- ton for the continuance of the present relationship among the Indians as fol lows:
 That the tribal relations and govern ment of the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Chero- kee. Creek and Seminole tribes. or na- tions, are hereby continued in full force, and effect for all purposes until the fourth of June, A. D., 19o6.''
 The resolution went over until tomor- row.
 The reading of the bill was proceeded with until the provision for the sale of coal lands In Indian Territory was reach ed when MT. Bailey took the floor. He expressed the opinion that the land should be held for the education of the Indian children, saying the income would be sufficient to give university education to all the Indian children in Indian Ter ritory. He thought this disposition would be preferable to permitting the lands to become the property of the railroad com panies, as they were likely to do. He quoted recent decision of the supreme court to show that roads carry their
