INDIAN REFORM.
The Senate rasses a Illll Which Makes
Many Radical Change.
Washington, March 1. The Senate,
at 11:20 last night, passed tho Indian
appropriation bill, after striking out
ail of tho 1'latt provision excepting
that relating to jurisdiction of United
States courts. An amendment trans
ferring tho jurisdiction of thq.Indian
courts to tho United States courts was
offered by Senator Vest and adopted.
Tho purposo is to let tho Dawes com
mission go on with its work and com
plete treaties with ull tho tribes, tho
only reservation being tho provision
rclnting to the jurisdiction of the
courts, which abolishes tho functions
of the tribal judiciary. The Indians
will doubtless accept this ultimatum
without attempting any opposition,
frlad to get off at this price. This will
eave the Dawes commission a free
hand, and allow them to consume a
few years longer in bringing the In
dian question to a close.
Senators Teller, Piatt and Hoar
urged the necessity of replacing the
corrupt Indian courts with a United
States judicinl systtm, whilj Mr. Vilas
protested against "jamming" through
an amendment despoiling Indians of
their rights. The amendment, as
finally agreed to, glvcH tho United
States courts exclusive juilsdlctjon
over all civil and criminal cases, abol
ishing tho native courts. Two addi
tional judges are, provided for tho ter
ritory. The part of tho Indian territory pro
vision in tho appropriation bill stricken
out by the senate is tho committee
amendment authorizing the Dawes
commission to sot apart townsltes'and
churches and educational and mineral
lands, and to allot the remaining lands
among the five tribes.

"(eiiuinu iniprnv t In business

other combinations in the iron business
has brought out a vast quantity of
trade, which had been held back, und
has sot many thousand men nt work,
while the slow but steady gain in other

to many thousands more, but the full
effects will not appear until increased

Tho work of removing tho bark from

boiled, somotlmcs In tho woods, but
more often In Inrge caldrons at the
cork factories, for tho purpose of In
