Thn Smith Dakota se-nator wanted to know why the - ' ' u" "."""".'".. conieicnco tommmee 10 insert an iiem oi 16,000 for u water supply plant at Flandrcau, when tho senate had knocked thc Item out.

The commis sioner stated to tho committee that $1,200 Is nniplo compensation, but as thc school l at the mercy of tho Flandrcau company, the Indian office has been compelled to pay J1.500. Senator Thurston stated that Com- ,ii. in,. hn.i n.nrrrl ih MinmiiiKi. that water for the school could bo scvurcil for a less sum than $t,200 a year If an Inde pendent water plant Is erected, and thnt In stead of being an extravagance tho amouut fr ,hr :..,, I'cttlgrew then raicd a row over tho Can ton (S. 1).) asylum for Hi sane Indians, stnt- ing that tho conferees on the Indian bill liconicl to havo It In for South Dakota. This i bi ought out an explanation from Senator Piatt that tho conference committee thought $15,000 for tho Canton asylum is sufficient and thnt a brick building is sufficient for the purposes desired, In view of tho niall number of Itibam. Indians In tho United StatCH. After I'cttlgrew had cxhauatol his voca bulary of criticism tho conference report was unanimously agreed to and latr In tho day tho noiibe tooK similar action, mo mil now goeH to the president for signature. South Dakota is taken care of splendidly In tho bill, iih also aro Nobraska and Wyoming. Improvement In .North Oinnlui. Congressman Mercer today obtained an order from tho secretary of war for tho construction of a sidewalk on thc east sldo of Fort Omaha military reservation. The North Omaha Improvement association has been interested In getting sidewalks laid In that section and as there Is a gap on the east side of tho old garrison grounds the order was made. Tho quartermaster at Omaha will bo instructed to construct the walk at once. There Is still no show for Burkct's bill giving a pension to Mrs. Stotscnburg getting through the senate. Senator Allen Is ob durate and Insists that his bill should have been taken up and passed In tho house. Congressman Burket wrote Senator Allen today, asking his co-operation In thc pas sage of tho houio bill through the senate and stating that It Is impossible to pass Senator Allen's bill through the house. It is not believed that Allen will yield soon, as he Insists that the senate bill should have passed the house Instead of tho house bill. Mrs. Stotscnburg Is in need in tho meantime and she sees tkc approaching dis solution of congress with no help In slsht, a condition that seems well nigh Impossible in these days of sympathy and humanity.

Tho action of thn senato military committee in grafting cn tho military academy appropriation bill certain features Included In tho reorganlrn- tlon bill confirms this view.
