INDIAN APPROPRIATION
BILL ROUGHLY TREATED

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Indian
appropriation bill received rough
treatment at the hands of the senate
to-day. The amendments of the COM
mittee, and especially those suggest
ed by the special committee that went
to he<Indisn Territory last summer
to Investigate conditioss. there, were
nearly all rejected on points of order.
The provision allowing the full blood
ed Indians of the Indian Territory to
sell their surplus lands was defeated
by vote of thirty-one to twenty-five,
which leaves in force the provisions
of the law known as the McCombs
amendment, prohibiting alienation Of
such lands for period of twenty-five
years The defeated provision has
been the subject of debate for the past
two days, and after it had been dis
posed of other committee amend
ments, which had been passed over on
the first reading of the bill, were re-
ferred to and nearly all of them de-
feated on points of order. The coal
lands amendment, allowing surface
coal lands in the Indian Territory to
be sold, and which is regarded OF
eqnal Importance with the provision
for the removal of restrictions on
alienation, was ruled out of the bill
on a point of order by Senator Till
man without discussion.

from the Old Building
Yesterday.

Two city officials will occupy new
quarters today. They are Mayor
Bliss and City Clerk Aymard, while
Tax Collector Whiting will probably
have his office fixtures moved today

The new offices, which are located
in the twO-story brick building at the
corner of Jefferson and Zarragossa
street, are much larger and more
commodious and conveniently ar
ranged than the ones which have been
in use for many years. The counclf
chamber is not quite as large as the
one moved from but there is ample
room for the desks of the twelve al
dermen and a row of seats outside the
railing for visitors. The first meet
ing of the council in the new quar-
tiers was held there Wednesday night,
when the railroad ordinance was IN
troduced-
The building into which the Of
ficials have moved will be used until
the city hall, which is now being cree
ted. is completed, when the officials
will go into much handsomer and
more commodious quarters.
The sessions of the municipal court
will continue to be held in the old
building for some time, and the jail
and police headquarters will also re-
main until the contract is awarded
for the erection of a new building and
work of demolishing the old one is
commenced, when they will be moved
into the two story building adjoining
Muller's store on East Zarragossa
street.
