Tha bill providing for tbs con struction of a bridge and spproach across th Missouri rlvsr at or near South Omaha was passed by th house this morning. The bridge Is not only designed for the passsgs of railway trains but It also provides for passagsways for wagons, carriages, street cars and foot passengers.

Th spans ovsr ' th waterway must be 800 feet In th clesr between the pier or between piers and abutments.' While It haa seemed asy to secur the psssag of this measur in ths house, It Is anticipated that It will have a rocky road to travel In th senate, as It Is known that Senator Millard doea not look with a great' deal of favor upon this snterprise. It would not be surprising If th bill were put to slsep In the senat commsrc com mittee, not to be awakened until after the Fifty-seventh congress adjourns. Wholesale Retirement Proposed.

' cslved aa application from th Indians la Thurston county requesting that a delega tion of their tribe be permitted to com to Washlng-toa to aid la securing lbs psymeat of $100,000 out of ths principal now held by the government In truat for th Indians. Congressman Robinson also received a letter from th Indlsns concerning this mat ter. He called at th Indian office today and was told that th department had In formed th Indians there was no necessity for their coming her. A bll would hsve to be passed by congress authorising ths seecretary of th Interior to pay this amount, and th department does not believe such a bill iould bs passed at this time.

Congressman Robinson called upon ths commissioner of ths land office today re garding a communication from a cross breed woman, White Wing, of the Winne bago agency, regarding a land matter. It appears this women Is th only living child of John Cloud, now deceaaed, who held an allotment of land at th time ot his death. His widow claims title to th lend, also holding an allotment In her own right. Th department found upon looking over the records that John Cloud was not law fully married to the woman and ths depart ment stated that the tacts ar as stated and If Cloud was not living with th woman tn question, as his lawful wife shs Is not entitled to dower. The department further stated that it would have no Jurisdiction over the matter, and that the woman, Whit Wing, would have to look to th Nebraska courts for her remedy. ' Deparlmeat Notes. E.

It wsa stated that hs would In . sucjt caas bs suocseded by ths prsssnt min ister of war, Gsoeral Bernardo Rsyss. American pspers have widely commented on this dispatch, pralalng th minister of war as a valiant soldier and as governor of ths Important state of Nusvo Leon, where his administration gave satisfaction not only to ths Mexican people, but to resident Amerlcsns. and It was propsrly argued that so capable an administrator would be certain to carry on the wise pol icy of President Diss, who ha crsatad what la now gensrally called "Modern Mexico." x .
