WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-Th senate this
week will continue to discuss the Panama
question. Speeches will be made Monday
or Tuesday by Senator Fairbanks (rep.)
and Senators Clarke dem. (Ark.), and Clay
dm.), all In support of the treaty. There
also trill be other speeches, but a tern
porary cessation may b expected later in
the week, as there la a disposition th the
part of democratic politicians to postpone
further discussion on the question until re
sponse to resolutions of Inquiry shall be
received from the executive.
The democrats, however, have given as
surance to the republican leaders that they
will not seejt delay merely for toe purpose
of postponing a vote on the treaty, which
they will permit as soon as legitimate de
bate ahall be exhausted. The present plan
Is to continue the discussion In open ses
sion, but If It becomes apparent that more
can be accomplished by cloning; the doors,
secutlv sessions will be ordered. It Is
'low certain the solid vote of the republican
side .of the chamber for -the treaty will be
augmented by. many democratic votes.
The suggestion was made In the demo
cratic caucus Saturday that the entire
democratic rote should be pleda-ed In caae
Assurance Is given of concessions to. Co
lombia, but It was not acted upon. The
urgent deficiency appropriation bill will be
rrH during the week and will receive
attention If the Panama; question Is side
tracked to meet the demands of th demo
crats tor delay to digest the new Infor
mation they hope -to receive on the revolt.
The canal question will-be kept to the
front as much as .possible, even to the ex
clusion of appropriation bills. -
Haws on Diplomat! Bill, '
The house this week will pass the diplo
matic and consular appropriation bill,
which waa reported from the committee on

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. II. (Speclal.)-The
enormous growth of the rural fre delivery
service In the last few years Is the sub
ject of earnest consideration not only by
th postmaster general and his assistants,
but by the committees on postofflces and
post roads of th two houses ot congress.
There Is no stopping the extension of rural
free delivery. It has come to stay. The
farming communities of th United States
demand the service and how-' to Conserve
the Interests of those who are looked upon
as the backbone of the country la th prob
lem which confronts our legislators. Bsna
tor Penrose -of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the committee of postofflces and post roads,
has Introduced an amendment to th gen
eral statutes which ha intends to press
with all his power when the general post
fifflce appropriation bill comes up for con
sideration In the senate. This amendment
authortsles the postmaster general to desig
nate postmasters at the Intersection of
mall routes and the Intersections and ter
mini of rural free delivery mall routes, as
distributing or separating offices, and where
such office I f the third or fourth class
he may make a reasonable allowance to
the postmaster for th necessary cost -of
clerical Service ariaing from such duties.
The necessity for this la apparent. Post
masters at Intersecting mall routea, owing
to the growth of the rural fre delivery
service, are by the very nature ot things
wholly unequipped to separate and dis
tribute mails now going Into ths rural sec
tions of 'the country. Tndor present condi
tions they are not permitted to employ
clerk hire unless paid out Of their own
pockets,' and it Is for the purpose of com
pensating postmasters for the additional
work devolving upon them In the separating
and distribution of rural mall to rural car
riers that Senator Penrose proposes what
seems to be a most necessary addition 'to
th postal laws and regulations.
Qalets Claim of laalaa.
For years there has stalked through th
corridors of th oapttol a bill for th relief
of the Biaseton and Wahpeton bands of
Dakota on Sioux . Indians. - Indian com
mittees aa frequently as the bill appeared
Would hit it with th mailed hand. Just a
serenely, however, aa ths season for - the
assembling of congress recurred th bill
for the relief of, this particular band of
Sioux Indiana would bob up In both houaes
to he saturnine delight of th members ot
the Indian committees. The bill waa be
ing urged by a brotber-ln-law of former
Senator FetUgrsw of South Pakota, one
a .republican but afterwards a populist
representative of that Stat in the ipper
branch of congress. -For years an effort
waa made to appropriate vast sums of
money which it was alleged tb govern
ment owed the Biaseton and Wahpeton
band of Dakota or Sioux Indians teciusa
they had been deprived of their annuities
growing out of the War which on Of these
bands precipitated agalnat the United
States, In 18C2 Mid 18G3. Finally after per
sistent effort th case waa sent to th
court of claims for findings ot fact and th
court of claims: but a short -time ago ren
dered a decision which, pilts' "out of busi
ness" those lotsrcrated tn -seeurlng Several
million of dollar from th government
The court states that It Goes not appear
who, If any, were th Individual members
ot thee particular bands of Indians . ar
who remained loyal to th government of
th United State or who were not directly
or indirectly concerned In the depredations
during 1801 and 1SG1 when attacks wcr
mad on Fort Abercrombi when murders
and depredation of every kind were com
mitted. .-.
'Loyal" ladlaas Disloyal.
Th court flinds that at times certain In
dividual Indian capable of Identification
were by verbal expression In council and
otherwise, loyal, but who at other times
aided, abetted, assisted, or encouraged th
depredations and massacres referred to In
the act of congress approved February 16,
1861' . Further the court goes on to say
that a large majority, If not .all, the re
spective member of th Sisseton and
Wahpeton bands of the Sioux Indians were
not loyal" to the government, of the United
States and that with few exceptions, such
exceptions being Incapable of designation
as Individuals, all the responsible members
of these two bands of Sioux Indians aided,
abetted, assisted and encouraged th dep
redations and massacrea to which ths act
of February It, 1MH, refers; that th propor
tion of such members. If there were any,
who wer not fco concerned In tha said
depredations, or some of them, does not ap
pear, and it I Impossible from th evi
dence to find such proportion. If such pro
portion could be pointed out there could
b ho proper distribution of th annuities
to member who wer loyal, or who wer
not so concerned In said depredations, and
who would b entitled to auoh distribution.
If such finding of a proportion could be
made, the effect would be that distribution
of such annuities would be mad to the
loyal and disloyal alika, or not at all.
Proteetlaa; th Timber Laaels. '
Just at, th present time congress is
wrestling 'with ths proposition, ' How can
th timber lands of th public domain b
protected." Ten or fifteen years ago It
waa decided to segregate from th land
open for settlement vaat araaa In th tim
bered region, which ahould be ieservd as
national forest. Under this polloy a total
of nearly tt.oan.OOO acres have been with
drawn from settlement and placed In th'
list of "forest reserve lands." In carrying
out tb executive order creating these re
serves It was found that many thousands
of act within th confines of th areas
so segregated wer th property of railroad
corporations and Individuals and In con
sequence It was found necessary to glv
tho prlvat owners an opportunity t se
lect other lands "In lieu of tho surren
dered to the government."
This so-callej 'lieu land law" ha been
greatly abused.' Railroads have denuded
their holdings of the original tlmbar and
hav been selected "in lieu thereof some
of th most valuable pin lands th gov
ernment still owns. Up to th present tlms
a,bout 1,000,000 acres hav besn "surrendered"
and almost as many acre of valuable tim
ber lands hav been transferred from the
government as compensation therefor 80
great has the abuse become that congress I
called upon to act promptly to prevent
th further looting of th remaining pin
land.

Wyoming, from th commit tee on public
(and, says: "It Is vary clear that com
paratively few actual settlers hav taken

land law; that th principal beneficiaries
hav been th owner of railroad and state

table that there I at this time over T60.

which are or will b In th Bear future

"In addition to this vsst acreage of lands

all ot them of a character Imperatively de
manding their reservation for the conserva
tion of water supply and th preservation
of timber for future use as contemplated
tt th spirit of the act authorising th
creation of forest reserves, might perhaps
be Justified and defended on the ground
of wise public policy, sven though such ac
tion resulted In the 'absorption of large
tracts of th publlo domain In lieu selec
tions. But large areas of. railroad and
other lands in prlvat ownership have been
Included In forest reserves which are
neither generally timbered or of any con
siderable value for water conservation, or
for any other purpose contemplated by the
forest reserve law, the Inclusion of which
within reserves has given the owner -of
such lands an opportunity to posse's them
selves, by exchange, of some of the best
tlmher lands of th nation. ' -
"The committee agrees with the secre
tary of the interior and the commissioner
of the general land Office that the passage
of th bill is In th Interests of publlo
policy, and that It Is urgently demanded
In' view of the present situation In order
to prevent the absorption of millions of
acres of publlo timber by Ileu-rlght loca
tions. As pointed out In the commissioner's
report, those seeking to make the change
have no causa to complain of the pro
visions of the bill, as th exchange Is not
compulsory, and If it Is desired to us lands
within reserves now timbered as a base
for exchange th timber can be removed
befor making th exchange. In which event
a fair value cart be obtained by exchanging
for nontlmbered lands, as contemplated by
th bill."
For Defease of Harbors. -
When the navy appropriation bill was up
for consideration last year there was a
great deal of talk about submarine torpedo
boats. Admiral Dewey testified that three
or four of these! vessels In Manila bay
would probably v demolished his fleet,
and that he would hav hesitated io hav
taken his vessels against an unseen danger.
Bine then General Mile has reported -that
Manila and Bubig bays ought to be forti
fied and that at leaat SfiO.GOO.OOO will be. re
quired to erect and equip proper coast de
fense. The naval committee last year .declined
to authorise any further, contracts for sub
marine torpedo boat until those under eon
tract had been completed and accepted by
th navy department Today the submarine

naval authorities, absolutely protect the
harbor of New York and Boston against a
hostile fleet So many changes have been
made In the construction of vessels of this
class that today nearly every civilised na
