The bill then was passed. The Indian appropriation bill was then taken up In committee of the whole. After an agreemtnt had been reached to limit general debate to two hours Mr. Sherman explained the provisions of the bill. Indian Agencies Abolished, The appropriation for the support of the Yankton, Slsseton, Crow Creek and Lower Brule agencies, In South Dakota, was strenuously opposed by Mr. Zenor (Ind.) on the ground that as the Indiana were voters the agencies were being maintained In the Interest of politics. The amendment offered by Mr. Zenor to strike out the provision for an agent of the Crow Creek agency was opposed by Mr. Burke (9. D.), who denied the allega tion that there was any politics in the retention of such an office. On the con trary, he contended, the best Interests ot the Indians would be served by an agent rather than by a bonded superintendent. The amendment was agreed to, as were also the amendments abolishing agents at the Lower Brule, Slsseton and Yankton agencies. The provision of the bill relating to the. opening to location, development and ope ration of mineral lands within Indian reser vations was stricken out on a point of or der by Mr. Fitzgerald (N. Y.). The bill was half completed when It was laid aside, and a resolution adopted des ignating Saturday, February as the day for the exercises In connection with the acceptance of the statues of Samuel Houston and Stephen B. Austin, presented by the state of Texas. The speaker appointed as tellers on th pnrt of the house to count the electoral vote Messrs. Gnlnes (W. Va.) a nd Ruaseti (Tex.), after which the house adjourned. PROCEEDINGS OF TUB SE3ATK Statehood and Far Seal Indemnity Bllla 1'nder Illaensslon. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.

SURVEYS ON THE FINE RIDGE AGENCY Senator Klttredge Proposes to Have an Appropriation Made for the Purpose When the Indian - Bill Comes lp. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 Representative Mondell, chairman of the committee on ir rigation, Is taking advantage of the pres ence In Washington of practically all the engineers connected with Irrigation work to have them before his committee to ex plain what has been done and what la con templated In tfle matter of reclaiming the arid regions of the west. Hearings have teen held from day to day for something over a week and most of the engineers con nected with the various projects have ex plained the present and prospective condi tions to the house committee. Mr. Men dell is anxious that his committee be fully cognizant of all the conditions and become, If possible, personally acquainted with each engineer In charge of the various projects. Today Arthur P. Davis, assistant chief en gineer of the "Pathfinder project" In Wyo ming and Nebraska, appeared before the committee and explained the scope of the proposed Improvement and went Into de tuils regarding It. During the past week the committee on Irrigation has heard all about the projects from engineers In charge of the principal works now under way In the entire west ern section of the country. Altogether the presence In Washington of so many engi neers connected with the Irrigation works Is of great benefit to those In congress in terested In reclamation work and the hear ings have enlightened the congressmen, especially those from eastern states, as to the work which Is In contemplation and the vast areas of arid lands which It Is sought to reclaim. Sarveys of Indian Lands. Senator Klttredga today Introduced an amendment to the Indian bill, which ho propose to urge when the bill reaches the senate providing for an appropriation of $3,200 for clerical work and stationery In the office of the United States surveyor general, which nmount Is required because of surveys within the Pine Rldge Indian reservation in South Dakota. Hall Goes to Washington. W. P. Hall of Holdrege, Neb., who was a candidate for messenger to bear the elec toral vote of that state to Washington, finding he could not secure the honor, was quite satisfied that his friend, M. A.

DECREASE IN RAILWAY EARNINGS Continued Activity In Iron, Steel and Coke Indantry-I.es Than Cm. tomnry Idleness for This Fennon. NEW TORK, Jan. 20.-R. G. Dun & Com pany's Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Progress is more rapid In manufacture than In distribution, but this is largely dim to the effect of unsensoniible weather and unsettled feeling In the outh, where the collapse of cntti n prices haa retarded collections and caused many cancellations. That production Is maintained by mills and furnaces may be taken its evidence of con fluence In the future. Slecl plants lead In activity. Settlement of the protractPd labor struggle at Fall Klver is encouraging, but the industrial atmosphere is disturbed e'se where, although on the whole there Is less than the customary Mleness of this seas n. Prices of newly opened llnejs of woolens are higher, as was to be expected, In view of the position of raw mnierlal. but consump tion Is not curtailed. Similar strength In footwear has restricted buplnefs. Buyers In the Boston market report few contracts. Railway earnings for Janunry thus far show a gain of 2.1 per cent. Commerce at this port Is better thnn n j'enr ago, last week showing gains of 11,556,000 In value of Imports and 1292. lof. in exports. Scarcely any alteration in quotations of Iron nnd steel la the beat poKlble guaran. tee of continued activity. Conservatism now controls the situation, holding prices at a position that Is attracting the volume of bUHtiiefcs and cot of production. Coke ovens ure establishing new records. Very exten sive contracts for muchlnery are pending and a considerable quantity of pipe ami tubes art wanted, while, the Pittsburg mills are behind on deliveries on bllletH and bars.

BRADSTREET'S HEVIEW OF TRADE Industry Still Maintains a Position of Pre-eminent Activity. NEW YORK, Jan. 20. Bradstreefs to morrow will say: Industry still maintains a position of pre-eminent activity, while distributive trade for spring, not as yet fully open, lacks definite form In some lines. The holdlng-off tendency hitherto noted in the cotton goods trade still continues, but In woolen goods tall lnbrlcs have been opened at a notable advance; the shoe and leather goods show Increased activity; hardware and groceries am being sold freely, and lumber Is strong at higher prices thnn last year and with manufacturers active, though ultimate distribution Is curtailed by Heasonuble influences. With the excep tion of the southern portions of the south west, where lower price In the cotton af fects collections and clouds the future, the feeling Is one of great confidence In the future, and particularly as to the first half of the ensuing yeor'a business. Collections are Irregular, tieing best In the northwest and central west and poorest in the south, where low cotton depresses trade. Businesa failures In the I'nltnd States for the week ending January 19 numbered 3o4, against 295 last week, 2M In the like week In 1904. In Canada failures for the week number 37, ns against 24 last week and 26 In the week a year ago.
