WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jan . k ) .
From Pine Ktdgo n letter was received
hero today quoting General Miles on tbo
causes which led to tbo Sioux outbreak. It
cites General Miles ns saying : "It is simply
a question of more or less beef , Given a suf
ficiency of beef aud the treaty stipulations
provides there shall bo enough and wo shall
under ordinary circumstances have unbroken
peace. Keep the supply on its present basis
or decrease it nnd wo shall have wars which
will cost us ten thousand times more
In lupncy nlono than the value of
the meat wo neglect or refuse to
give. This beef buying and Issuing needs re
vision , Under the present arrangement con
gress may appropriate enough money to buy
n sufficiency , but n false economy can defeat
the expressed Intention of honest legislation.
Last year 3r , > 00 head of cattle were purchased
for and delivered to this nger.cy. Three
thousand head were sent to Hoscbud under
my direction. Those animals still nllvo
hnvo been weighed and the average shrinkage -
ago was found to bo a llttlo over two hun
dred pounds. The Indian bureau contracts
for so many million pounds of beef for each
agency nnd that beef is delivered in the fall.
Uuritg the winter the cattle lose llcsu and
this lo s affects the Indians. Many of the
steers die , nnd that nlso affects the Indian.
The government agrees with him to give him
so much beef per day , but It never makes good
Its promise. It purchases In the fall wbat
would probably fulfill the trcatv conditions ,
but when the spring arrives the rations have
of necessity shrunk to ono-half tholr just pro
portions , You cannot explain this dlscrop-
cncy to a hungry man , Ho cannot oat what
was available last October , but which has
since vanished into thin nlr. You will see
that up to this time and there has been only
the mildest kind of weather tbo
shrinkage on beef for two agencies
amounts to more than 100,000 , ! ! pounds.
This shrickairo can be avoided conslelorably.
Instead of allowing contractors to supply
what are known as "through cattle , " shipped
directly from the southern states , the Indian
bureau should insist on being supplied only
with these animals that had spent nt least
ono winter In these higher latitudes. After
the Ilrst winter there is but llttlo loss , for
the beeves have become acclimated. This
beef business is at tbo root of the whole
trouble. Congress did not improve matters
In the least by further diminishing the sun-
ply to the ouent of 1,000,00 ! ) pounds. Give
tlio Indian the beef bo is entitled to aud wo
will have peace. "

Ttcro nro extracts { rom the report of the
house commerce committee on Mr. Heed's
bill for a low railroad bridge over the Mis
souri river between Omaha nnd Council
Bluffs : "At the present time there nro exist
ing between Omaha and Council Bluffs but
two bridges , ono of which is used exclusively
as a railroad bridge , the other as a street
railway and wagon bridge.
"The demands of commerce require nnd
fair competition makes It necessary that now
nnd additional facilities bo furnished to the
numerous railroads centering at Omaha nnd
Council Bluffs for crossing the Missouri river
nt available points between said cities , It Is
the purpose of this bill with the amendments
herewith proposed to provide such facilities
At the present ttmo the right of certain rail
roads to cross with their trains the present
existing bridge is denied and travel nnJ com-
inerco is thereby delayed nnd interrupted.
"Owing to the low and Hat character of the
land on both sides of the river at and in the
vicinity of the proposed location of the
bridge desired to bo constructed under the
provisions of this bill it will bo Impractic
able If not absolutely Impossible to construct
u high bridgo.
"With the restrictions and requirements
contained In the hill the use nnd navigation
of the river by boats or rafts ! s amply nnd
sufllclontly provided for. The bill Is favored
nnd Its passage strongly urged by the citi
zens of both Omaha and Council lllutTs.
"With the amendments heroin proposed
the bill will correspond with senate bill 48bO.
which hns been submitted to the secretary of
war and by him referred to the chief of en
gineers , who has duly reported thereon in
will more uilly ami at largo appo.ir by a copy
of said report , which Is hereto "nttiiclied.
"To fully conform with said sounto bill and
with the recommendations ns made by the
chief of engineers of the department of war ,
the committco recommend amendments. "
The amendments were fully given in n Bir ;
special yesterday , together with reference tc
the letter from the war department. The
house nnd toiiato bills are now amended to
conform exactly , ono with the other , The
house report was drawn by Mr. Muson ol
Chicago , who says the bill will soon bt
passed ,
TAUnOt'K IMIK8 NOTOPIWE THE IlltinOI ! .
Honator I'nditock received n peck of telegrams
grams today from Omaha stating that tlu
morning papers reported him us opposed tt
the now Omaha bridge and urging him U
stand by the bridge bill. Senator I'addocl
said this evening thnt there was not a won
of truth In the report and that Its promulga
tion was a wilful lubrication.
Senator Paddock says ho doslrcs to nmonc
tbo hill so as to require tbo commencement o
construction not later than January 1 , 18'J1. ' '
lUHtcnd of two years from the passage of tin
act , and that it shall be completed on or be
fore January 1 , IBOJ ) , instead of February
j it > Ul. He also ic + l.'t : V. . < : i > il section ' . ! o
the h'll ' , more fully describing the character
of construction as to the foundations nnd
superstructure , requiring thntitbo aamo shall
bo according to the demands of tirii class
railroad bridge In nil rrtpcots , over
which freight nud passenger trains
of the maximum weight usually
drawn by loeotuMlvos may snfcly
nnd securely pais.nnd that It shall have nmplo
trackage facilities. Ho thmks that bridges
to bo built hereafter at Omnhii should not bo
railroad bridges In nnmo ouly , without sufll-
dent strength to bear up n tnllroad train ,
like the Douglas street brldpo. The only
way to make cjrtuln the construction of a
first class bridge nt East Omaha Is to hnvo
the character of tbo construction setout fully
and clearly In the net , so that escape from con
struction of n Ilrst class rallrosid bridge may
be Impossible. Ho will cordially nnd earn
estly support such n bill , hut ho has not oven
Intimated to nuyono that he would not sup
port the present bill.
CONCI98IONB TO COMMERCIAL T11WEI.BH3.
Heprcscutntlvo Mason increased his list of
friends today by about ono hundred and
eighty thousand when ho put the llnal stroke
on his report granting eonoissions to com-
inercliil travelers in the matter of
interstate travel. The report says that
there nro 180,000 regular commercial
travelers In the Uultcd States ;
that they represent ovcry business Interest
nnd industry of the country , being the
pioneers in forwarding the international com
merce of tno nation ; thnt they travel an
average of eight months In each year , thus
spending two-thirds of their life on the road ;
that they go to the smallest cross road towns
in the ) country , thus bringing the markets of
the world to the doors of the country mcr-
shaut , and the latter'are J thus given the
benefit of lines of goods frorp which to make
a selection , nnd the advantages in securing
accommodations from all tho'Importnnt ' mar
kets secured by the merchants are In turn
reflected to the purchasers nnd to the public
nt largo. Commercial traveling Is therefore ,
the report , argues , n gront financial benefit to
every man , woman and child In the land.
Mr. Muson then shows how the Interstate
commerce law has cut oft the ' 'excess snmplo
baggage permit1' and the " \vocluy excursion
tickets. " The report concludes by showing
the duty which the government owes to tlio
encouragement of the international commerce
relations of its people. H shows how Eng
land , Franco and Germany aid tholr commer
cial travelers , and in thnt way aid their
merchants and manufacturers. Great
Britain , Canada , Australia and
Franco are all particularly liberal
in allowing marked reductions in rates of
transportation to commercial travelers. It is
urgcu that the United States should do the
same by granting the commercial fraternity
exemption from the interstate commerce law
in the matter of excess bajgago and weekly
excursion tickets.

nicotine in New York , In the opinion ot Chicago
cage railroad men. Ofllclals of the North
western road refuse to make n statement
prior to the division of territory under the
various commissions , but It Is known that
It will use every endeavor to have Its
Lake Superior business exempted from the
agreement. That business has for years been
a bonanza for the Northwestern and the pool
under which it Is operated will bo broken in
case It is included In the association terri
tory. President IIuBhltt of the Northwest
ern has , meantime , done nothing towards
petting the Alton , the ICansas City and the
Fort TScott road Into the association. It is
not generally known , but the association
( isrcomont , except as amended In New York ,
was drafted in the Northwestern ofllco and
that road's present predicament is hugely en
joyed by Us competitors. Tno Chicago , St.
1'uul to Kansas City road has definitely
determined not to Join the association.
Ono of Its officials told a railway press
bureau reporter today thnt his road did not
care to bring on a light nnd would not do so
unless crowded. Ills road was , however , in
the host uosslblo condition for a llyht. It
had no interest to pay until two years from
January 1. It could in any ' event pay Its
operating expenses from its local traftio and
should its competitors put rates at such a
llKuro that Its through tratlle would ho non
productive It could flpht for ut least two
years while its competitors were going into
the hands of a receiver. The Kansas City ,
Fort Scott & Memphis has also definitely re
fused to join the association , nnd the Alton
will not go In except on its own terms.

CHICAGO , Jan. 2t. : [ Special Telegram to
THE BIB. ] Tno latest order of the Iowa rail
road commission , directing the Chicago ,
Koclc Island & Pacific railway company to
increase Its passenger service in Iowa , is n
matter of serious consideration at head
quarters. The Hock Island asserts that it
cannot obey the order to run more local
passenger trains without a Heavy UHS. It
offered , some time HRO , to the complainants
in the case to furnish them with all the train
service they demanded if they would only
cuaranteo the operating expenses , The Uur-
llugtou road , upon which similar de
mands were made , offered the iwtitioners
for the extra trains to supply them
with the necessary rolling stock , charge
nothing for trackage or interest on capital in
vested if ten of the petitioners would under
take to see that the actual expenses In
running the trains-were provided for. The
offer-of neither * road ' wiw-aocoi.Ved. The ,
lowans claim that because the roads are nblo
to make money on business aono outside that
state , therefore tboy must furnish tbe ac
commodations they ask for though they lose

Plenty of Passes.
Cmc.vao , Jan. 23. [ Special Telegram to
THE BEE. ] All hope of reviving the Anti-
Pass association was knocked on the head to
day by the withdrawal of the Burlington.
In Its letter of withdrawal to Chairman St.
John , the Burlington gave as its reason that
it bad positive knowledge of the giving of
passes to the officials of a rofrlgorator line.
This has spread a broad grin over Chicago's
railroad family for the reason that the ilur-
lington was the first road charged with giv
ing such passes , The result of the rupture
of the association is that each railroad is
scrambling to 1111 out out its last year's pass
list and which It was hoped would bo cut
down at least 70 per cent this year.
