I Is I quite certain that the Omaha post- ofce case will not bo settled until aCer thecur return of Secretary of Agriculture J. Sterling Morton It hal been understood I un < ersto for some time that the opinion or Secretary Morton will be asked by the l'ostomco department officials , and thaI. while his opinion will not entrely control the appointment of a 118t- master , It wi nt the some time bo consid- ered In the final selecton and , will be reo gudOt with some dderence. Theta Is a well defined rumor to the erect that Mr. Morton Is protracting his visit In Nebraska longer than had aL first been antcl Led , for the purpose or making a thorough examination of the 4 mater to enable him 10 come to a better conclusion n 10 his courpo In this case. I can be stated with some assurance that sOle one yet unnamed Is lkely 10 gel the ap. polntment , as IJresenL appearancE strongly pint to such a conclusion.

This amendment Is otereU ( at the solicitation at Congressman orerc of South Dakota who endeavored to have this provision made In the Indian approprlatlor bill when I was before the appropriaton . The house committee on election ot presi dent and representaLves In congress ordered I a favorable report to be made al , the resolu ton introduced by Congressman Dryan pro I viding that after January I , 1898. no person m , once elected to the prcsdency : shall be etlgtbb 3 , to that ofco to succeed himself. elstblo I Congressman Pickier was today Inrormed I , that the president , In complIance with his , request , has recommended the payment of $200,000 ot the principal belonging to the Sisseton Indians of South Dalcota. Mr Pickier made his request In order that the money may bo available at oiice and the Sisseton Indians , who have been sufrerint from the cold this winter , mAY be enabled to use their allowance before the regular ' tmo or payment , and thus manage to get along more comfortably during the remain trig months or the winter. 4o INDIANS OPPOSE THEm AGENT. , : , . Congressman Pickie In company with the five IndIan representatives or time Yankton Sioux oC South Dakota had 1 long confer enco today with the commissioner or Indian alTaira. The Indians presented the grievances which they have come to Wnahmjngton 1n an endeavor to have aleviated , The most Important - portant sUbject to receIve consideration } vas the contemplated removal or Indian Agent Smith , which the Yanlcton Sioux want con summated Illcdlltely. Smith Is a retire U retred army omcer. The Indians state to Commissioner I. : sioner BrownIng that the tenure of the omen or Agent Smith Is not ! t all agreeable to the Sioux , and that \ hey are hero to mao In effort to have him removed. They stated that Smith Is 1 man who Is too pompous dlld unapproachable to mingle with and bc u- come acquainted wIth the Indians ; that ho bas removed half breeds from the Position is connected with the agency , appointing In I their stead his white relatives ; that ho also caused to bo Imprisoned without cause ono of their fellow Indians and has done numerous - ous other things which tend to make him unpopular and disagreeable to time Indians : , and they therefore ask that he bo removed ! at once and seine more suitable person be appointed In hIs steaI. These are serious charges and It Is likely that a thorough h "estgaton will bo had before final actic V Is taken by the Itepartment. The acton mt also stated that they are here to urge legi a- laton whIch will clear up In a more eati - sats- factory manner their land treatIes . IEPDURN ON TIlE GHEENDACKS.

' The secretary Is authorized to use the proceeds - ceeds of the sales or Limo bonds to defray current expenses or the government and for the redemption of United States legal tender and treasury notes Issued under , the act of July H , 1890. The bonds are to be of the den ominations of $20 and $50 and multiples muliples of those sums at the option or the purpro cha sers .

I TURPIE BECOIES PERSONAL Ole so of Ills Speech Marked by 1 Verbal Assault on Morgr TWO NEW CURRENCY BillS INTRODUCE 111 of Senator Smih rroyhte for R Com ntnlon to Icport to time ZSozt Von gtes-hnnes JI this One JI - - cutet b1 time Finnco I.'onrmntttce. - W"SlNGTON , Jan 23.-The treasury emergency was the main theme before the senate today , and for time time being the la- ! ilan' question was laid aside. Mr. Jones or Arkansas and ( Mr. Smith of New Jersey , each h representing I most influential clement , In the majority of the senate . presented Illans for meeting the currency complication , The propositions Itfer widely , Mr. Smith's providing for a temporary bond Issue pending an investigation by a "monetary commis- sian , " composed cr senators , members of the house and cIvIlians , while Mr. Jones' plan provides for I bond Issue and conditional restornton of slh'er. The two senator urged their respective measures In speeches which receh'ell close attention from a wel filled sen- ate and crowded galleries . Mr. Turple conly cluded his speech against the Nicaragua canal bIl l , becoming bitterly personal at the close against Mr. Morgan , author at the bill , and against the measure itself , as tire consummaalt Lon or.cheRII John , Peter Funk legislation. 1)r mnhng tire day Mr. Burrows of Michigan lale his first appearance In time senate since the Michigan legislature promoted him to the tip per branch or c ngress. The credentials of Mr. Jc ? . llan of lel- gan for the term beginning March 4 next , and or Mr. Burrows In succession of tire late Senator Stockbridge , were presented to the senate tOla ) . Mr. Pahnel's resolution In reference to bounty payments to MissourI mlLa was ga ssed. pns91. A now and practlenl turn to the Hawaiian subject was given by Mr. lisle , republican of Maine , who introduced an amendment to the consular ant , diplomatic bill , providing $500,000 for time surveyor a cable route consel nectng . the hawaIian Islands with the United Mr. Smith. democrat or New Jersey , then had read a hill which attracted much ) itten. ti on. I provl-Ies for a nonpartisan currency commissIon of twelve members to make In. vestgatons of fiscal questions and for an Issue or bonds to produce revenues for the g overnmnemit. Mr. Smith saId that he had hopNI h to ace some soluton or the present ctm rncflcy emno'gency. lie was convinced , however - ever , that so little time remains for legisla- ton that no bIll would be passed at the p resent session. Under time circumstances ho proposed ( this plan , which would sot on root n full In\'ltgton with a view to securing time proper remedy. I was do- slrable to have 1 nonpartisan commissIon In order that Its work might commend Isel to the new congress. PROVIES l'Ot A COMMISSIONER . Senator Smith's currency bill provides that the president shal appoint four commissioners - sioners from civil life , 10 more than two ot whom sllal be members or the same poULcal I party. Tire president or the senate shaH ap- pint four senators , no more than two or whom shall bo members of the same arty , the speaker oC tire house Is to designate ) rour : members under the same conditions. The senators and lembers chosen Ire to be members - b ers ot the Flr-rourth congress. These are to bo known as the "monetary committee. " I Is made the duty or the committee to tke Into consideration and to investigate thor- oughly all the various questions relating to the currency 'so far a may bl necessary to the establshmen t of A judicIous system or curreacy on 1 permanent basIs. The com- mitee Is empowered to visit different peru pr- tons or the country and make to congress 1 final report of the result or its Investga- congess tons , together wih such recommendations a It may deem to the best Interest of the c ountry . not later than the second Monday In December , 1895. The bill also authorIzes the Issue I at $500,000,000 or 3 per ccnt' 'Jnd ' ! re- leemable In gold coin at the expiration of ten y ears. Mr. Stewart or Nevada followed Mr. Smith with an argument against any committees or other means or avoiding direct action on the currency. Mr. Stewart had read an arti- art- cle In the CincInnati Enquirer , addresed dircty to the secretary or the treasury , and arraigning him for preferring gold to silver. Mr. Jones or Arkansas added to the Inter- est or the question by presenting a bill whIch has been discussed In thenance committee. Is reading was followed wIth close attent ' ti ion , owing to the promInence oC the senator In i shaping most or the finance committee's work. Mr. Jones addressed the senate briefly concorlng the currency bill ho had sub- mitted. DANGER OF TIE PRESENT SYSTEM. Mr. Jones spoke or the constant danger In present juan of Issuing bonds , which per. mlted the banks to force an Issue , then to tDlco gold from time treasury In order to pay for the bonds , and thus keep up this con- slant assault on the gold reserve and time constant necessity for bonds. "I am not 1 believer In bnds , " declared Mr. Jones , "but I am willing to submit to bonds as a mater of necessity ! S long as there Is coupled with I a sensible , manly , honest recognitIon or silver. I the feeling throughout the country In favor of silver Is properly recognized , then I will agree to the issue of bonds , and I will agree to I under no other conditions. " I Mr. Jones said It was his conviction that ' the sliver men would make 1 grave ' mistake I they Insisted on the extreme limits or theIr hopes The failure or the silver element to secure concerted acton was made evident as soon as Mr. Jones closed his remarks , as Mr. Stewart again took time floor to argue against the Jones bill. lie ' conceded the good motives or the senator , but urged time bond provision was a surrender to the banks and the gold power Time Nicaragua bill was then taken UII and Mr. Turplo resumed his speech against the measure. Mr. Turple's remarks became very personal at one point and arraigned Mn Morgan , who Is In charge of time bill as cl.tlrman or the commiee on foreign rela- tlorrs. Mr. Turplo declared he had long chcrlshed the illusion that this chnlrmanshlp was or the loftiest character : that It was Un- touched and undefiled by 10der delusions and cOlmonplace aspirations . nut this iliu- iu- sion was dispelled , and this lofty chmalrnran- ship had disappeared hike a "will 0' the wisp"I In flue mires of the San Juan Mn . Turple proceeded to urge the mortgage I proposed to ho given by tire company was I diaphanoul and mere pretense The sen ator spoke of the canal company stock as I watered and that this whole project was a combination or "rrauII and water. " Mr. Turple heaped invectives on the "buhble" mortgage and "snldo" partnersblp with the I government , which he sold was Involved In the canal project. There was an alostie , surname,1 I'eter , who had been canonized ' But thl , Nicaragua scheme , he declared , was m an attempt to canonIze a new St . Peter- the "Peter Funk of legislation.

" BROThER TWO PLANS FOR ARB1TR TIO ARBITRATIN Houe Committee on Labor Prepared for a I Lively Soision. - AN INTRESTiNG DisCUSSIN PROMISE Commlslonor 'Vrljht Ind Atornoy General 010C1 Likely Avpear Before the 10uso Commluce on Labor to Explain TheIr lespecUYoIcws. . 'VASIIINGTON Jan 23.-There Is lIkely to be I most interesting discussIon In the house commitee on labor al the relative mEits or the two plans for arbitration . for whIch Labor Commissioner Wright and At- torney General Oney are sponsors. The two distnguished author or time princIpal bills berorc the committee will speak It Is ex- p eeled . In advocacy of their views. I they appear theIr speeches will doubtless prove valuable to tire literature or time sUbJect CommIssioner Wright has a reputation beyond - yond the limits or the United States as one or the foremost authorItIes upon questions concerning the interests of labor , while At- torney General Oney Is a high authorIty upon the legal prInciples Involved In tire movement for arbItration. There was 1 discouraging - couraging dearth or Interest In time arbltra- ton question for a time among those who might naturally bo expected to lead In the discussion , but tine past week has brought to t ChaIrman McGann or the labor coin- mltee many communicatons J , g'lng evIdence that the labor unions are awakening to time Importance i or the mnatter . Some or the criticisms ! lll Iomparlons : cr the two proposed systems are 1nte.isting. ! Fault Is found In certain quarters nte'ostng. wll. featnro or Attorney General Olney's plan wIicin . would give the attorney Jeneral power to apply for a receIver Who hould n'unago a railroad In the Interests of tine public when pUblc the employers and employes refuie,1 , 10 sub. miL to arbItration disputes which thuutrncd to Impair or did Injuriously affect the public Interests. i Curiously enough tine crItcism publo I passel upon the scheme Is that its tend- I encies are socialistic and I Is tine longest step which has been advocated by high I I , authority In tire direction of ' . ' aUlhorly Ilrecton go\'ernlent can.'I 'I trol of railroads. An objection offered to Mr. Wright's plait I ' for a commission by some laboring men was thl a permanent salaried commissIon might become allIed , to tire corporjittous In lb 1 corpor.tons Is sympathlea. Time Oney pIaT makes the chairman or the Interstate Commerce coma- COI- mission time chairman of the arbitration commission - mission , whlo his colleagues are appointed , one by tine emlJloyer and one by tine cnn- ployes.

Iucomo Tax 'VII Now n" Taken to the Supreme Court WASHINGTON , Jan. 23.-The petition or Joln Moore for a mandamus against Commissioner - missioner or Internal Revenue MIller to Mier pre vent the collection colectoa or the Income tax was overruled this morning by JUdge Hayner In the distrIct equity court. The case will now be taken on appeal to the United SLates su- premo court In order to rest the constitu- Uonaly or tine Income tax law. consUu- Judge Ha'ner declared at the outset that ire objectIons ' that tine tax Is unwise and ro- strlcts thrrit and industry ; that Its opera- ton musl necessarily be inquisitorial , etc. , were not under the jurisdiction or tine court. Tine alleged ( duplication or time tax could not bo cialmued to be possible except clalmel as te div- Idends i declared durIng \10 calendar year 189 , and it I was presumnmed tire wal presume treasury om- of- dais would enforce tine provision In such a way as to prevent a harsh construction of thin 1 law l , and that an constructon corpora- tons to pay tine tax before July , 1895 , would bo accepted us relieving tine shnareinolders Vexatious as Iluplcaton may be , I' ' Is not possible practically to avohl it.
