The Indian appropriation bill re ceived today from the senate commit tee on Indian affairs , the first atten tion that has been given it by that body. A sub-committee consisting of Senators Thurston , Platt of Connecti cut , Stewart , Jones of Arkansas and Pettlgrew , took up the bill and after examining many of the provisions , decided to consider the petition of tha Plma Indians of Arizona for improved facilities for securing water for Irri gation. Hydrographcr Newell of t'.io geological survey and others wore heardi as to the utility of a proposed dam f6r a storage reservoir on San Carlos river. It was stated that thesp Indians had been deprived of their water supply by the construction of an Irrigation system by white men and that where before they had been self-supporting up to that time , they wore now on tlio verge of starvation. It was estimated that the proposed dam will cost about $1,000,000 , The , 9Qinmltteo is , apparently dlapcaed to make some provision for the unfor tunate Indians. TnUus it Hopeful Vlcvr.

As for the otlior powers , It is ex pected that the main obstacle they will encounter in withdrawing under this condition will bo found In the dlfllculty of obtaining satisfactory guaranties upon the Chinese promlso to pay indemnities.
