WASHINGTON, April 7. (Special Tcle
gram.) There are a number of communi
ties In various -western states where In
dian lands have been allotted In eovcralty
and where whites havo nettled on lands
relinquished by Indians, among them
Thurston county. Nebraska. County and
town governments havo been established
with populations made up of two races. It
han been found lmpoalblo to secure any
revenuo for governmental purpose from the
Indians, tho burden of maintaining roads. ;
bridges and various agencies of the govern
ment falling on tho whites, no matter how
fma!l a proportion of tho total population
they may be. Even after tho lands are al
lotted to tho Indians the national govern
mont Is trustco Xor tho owner of the land
and ft cannot bo alienated by or from him.
Tho Indian acquires tho right to vote and
has the benefit of local government, but
pay no taxes. Tho result has been that
th burden has been too heavy for the
whiten to carry alone. The Indebtedness of
these counties and towns hail grown until
their credit has arrived near zero.
For tho purpoao of abolishing such unfair
conditions Senator Thurston has Introduced
a bill in this congress providing that so
long as tho government malntnlns ILs trus
teeship for tho Indians and makes them In
dependent of local taxation their property
should bo assessed proportionately with all
other property and that tho taxes so levied
shall bo paid by tho United States govern
ment. It was thought to bo a fair proposi
tion, hut the Indian oltlco obJectH to such
legislation and states that whllo the burden
on the white settlers may be heavy they ac
quired the land with full knowledge of tho
conditions, tho largo amount of money dis
tributed among tho Indians each year being
to a certain extent an offset, and further
that payment of taxes hy tho government
would tond to mako tho Indians Indolent
and deprive them of tho proper Incentive to
work.

Congressman Mercer said today that the
now cruiser Nebraska would be one of tho
flncs't types of war vessels In tho world;
that It would bo faster than nny other
cruiser now afloat, thu requirements being
that it shoutld havo a speed of twenty-one
knots' an hour with a displacement of 12,000
tons. JIo urther said It would bo highly
protected with armor whoso cost was not
limited, tho object being to commence build
Ing as soon as pomlble and get tho ship off
the; ways within thu next three years.
Which ono of tbo shipbuilding firms will
copetruct It has not been decided by tho
Navy department. The naval bill now
pending appropriates money for navy yards
and It may bo posslblo that the Nebraska
will ba built in a government yard, by gov
ernment workmen, under charge of govern
ment officials.
Tha slgnaturo of tho president to the Fort

tho new post In Wyoming, which Is to bo
known as Kort McKcnzlo. Just how much
of tho post tho secretary of war will do

It Is thought that It will bo built for at

zed to speak for him and that he was not

still his position, but those In his confi
dence for tho first time now admit that his
retirement Is practically a settled fact.
The senator has Intimated to tho presi
dent not only his entire willingness, but his
desire to be relieved of tho chairmanship.
He has two reasons. His health continues
precarious. At times he feels pretty well,
but these allernato with periods of pain and
Icprwelon. The senator does not regard
himself as physically fit for tho management
of another campaign. Tho other reason Is
that tho Benator believes a change In tho
chairmanship will be gool politics.

Is to make Colonel Payno tho chairman Hnd

This kind of an executive head Is found
In the person of First Assistant Postmaster

A LIFE COMPANION.
And n Very llnilenlrnlile One.
With thousands of people In this climate
catarrh Is a constant and llfo long compan
ion; It gets better at times, but each year
becomes gradually deeper seated and after
a time tho individual resigns himself to It as
a necessary ovll.
Catarrh cures aro almost as numerous as
catarrh sufferers, but aro nearly all so In
convenient nnd Ineffective ns to render tholr
use a nulsanco as nnnoylng as catarrh It
self.
It would seem at first glance that catarrh
being a disease of tho mucous membrane
that salves, sprays, etc., bolng applied di
rectly to the membranes would be the most
rational method, but this has proven not to
be true.
Tho mucous membrnno Is mado nnd ro
paired from tho blood and catarrh is a blood
disorder, and a remedy to bo permanent
must act on the blood and when purified
from catarrhal poison tho secretions from
jhe mucous mcmbrano will become natural
and healthy.
There are a number of excellent Internal
remedies for catarrh, but probably the best
nnd cortalnly tho safest Is n now remedy
composed of Eucalyptol, Hydrastis, Sangul-
narla and other catarrh specifies. This rem
cdy Is In tablet form, pleasant to tho tasto
and sold by druggists under namo of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and anyono suffer
Ing from catarrh may use these tablets with
absolute assurunco that they contain no
roralna or poisonous minerals whatever.
A leading druggist In Cleveland, speaking
of catarrh cures, says; "I havo sold various
ca'arrh cures for years, but havo never sold
any which gave such general satisfaction as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. They contain In a
pleasant, concentrated form all the bust
and latest catarrh remedies and catarrh suf
ferers, who havo used douches, sprays and
salves have been astonished at tho quick
relief and permanent results obtained after
a wtek's use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets."

WASHINGTON, April 7. During nlmost
the entire session of tho senato today an
nmendraent to the Indian appropriation bill
offered by Jones of Arkansas, providing for
the continuance of the government's employ
ment of tho contract Indian schools, In cer
tain circumstances, was under consideration.
Tho debato took a wldo range, the wholo
question of sectarian schools being gone over
nt length. The notable featuro of tho discus
sion was an eloquent speech delivered In
support of the amendment by Vest of Mis
souri. Tho amendment wns pending when
tho sennto ndjourned, tho vote on It dlsclos
Ing the fnct that no quorum was present.
This was the resolution of Jones:
"That tho secretary of tho Interior may
mako contracts with present contract schools
for the education of Indian ounlls during the
fiscal year ending June 30, l!0l, but shall
only mako such contracts nt places where
the government has not provided school fa
cllitlcs for all the children of school age re
siding thereat, und to an extent not ex
ceedlng the number of children In attend
mice at said contract schools at the closo
of tho fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1900."
Opponed hy Thornton,
Thurston, In charge of tho bill, opposed
the amendment, taking the position that
the government should pursue a policy of
providing Its own schools. He deprecated
any opening of tho question which six years
ago had been n subject of disturbance nnd
serious discussion throughout tho country
Tho matter ho thought had been settled at
that tlmo by tho adoption of n policy of ro
during appropriations for contract schools
20 per cent each year until the contract
flicols should have been abandoned cn-
k.rely.
Jones mado a strong nppeal for the adop
tlon of his amendment. He declared that
It such an amendment as he had offered
was not offered 2,000 Indian pupils would
be without school facilities after tho present
fiscal year, as It was well known the gov
ernment schools were entirely Inadequate,
Kyle expressed tho opinion that tho propo
sition Involved a mixing of tho church and
stato that wns undesirable.
"I don't believe It's a mixture of church
nnd state," said Jones. "This Is simply a
question of educating these children a
question of Justice."
Vent l.nudn Cuthollo Schooln.
In the course of his remarks, Vest, who
raid he was a Protestant, paid tribute to
Hooker Washington for his great work
among the colored people of the south. Ho
took off his hat, metaphorically, he said, to
Washington. Washington had struck the
keynoto of the great negro problem, ho
said, by teaching tho colored youth how to
labor. This, he added, was the truo secrot
of tho success of tbo Catholics In their
work among tho Indians. They taught them
how to work.
"I do not believe," said Lodge of Massa
chusetts, addressing the senate In a brief
reply to Vest, "that It Is right to tax one
man to support another man's religion."
"I never belonged to a secret society In
my life," continued Lodge, "but I'm not to
be deterred from doing what I deem right
by having tho namo of one flaunted In my
face." '
Oalltngcr opposed tho proposed amendment
In an earnest speech.
Tho debate was closed by Carter of Mon
tana, who pleaded for school facilities for
the Indian children In Montana. Ho could
conceive of no religion that would lower tho
condition of the North American blanket
Indian. He said there wero 1,073 Indian
children In Montana today who would havo
to bo educated In the contract schools or go
without education In any form, as the fa
cllities supplied by the government wero
absolutely Inadequate.
A yea and nay voto on tho amendment
was demanded. Tho voto was: Yeas, 14;
