Mr. Scott of Illinois has Introduced a
bill to apply the same provisions of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
sleeping-car companies as are now ap
plied to railroad and steamship com
panieS. On Senator Mitchell's recommenda
tion the Postoiiice Department has is
sued an order authorizing a contract
with E. Wigle to carry the mails from
Prineville by Desert and Haystack to
Warm Springs, Or., and back twice a
week from Juiy 1.
The river and harbor bill as it passed
the House carried an appropriation in
round numbers of 21 ,300,000. In addi
tion the Secretary of War is authorized
to contract for the completion of impor
tant projects involving an ultimate ex
penditure of about $26,000,000.
No agreement has as yet been reached
between the Washington Senators as to
the course to be pursued on the Pnyal
lup reservation bill. Senator Allen is
very anxious that the Senators slmll
stand together in support of his bill
and in opposition to that reported by
the Indian Committee. No time has
been set for consideration of the bill.
The bill to exclude political influence
from the appointment of the 61,000
fourth-class postmasters in the country
was agreed upon at a meeting of the
House Committee on Civil Service Re
form recently. The bill provides for a
division of the country into postal dis
tricts, and that where vacancies occur
open competition' shall be announced bv
the l'ostoffice Inspectors, who shall
recommend the best man to the 'Postmaster-General,
after receiving the ap
plications and examining the facts.
Representative Hermann has been
trying to Eecure a larger appropriation
for the Siuslaw river, which in the river
and harbor bill is for $10,000. No
amount of pleading by him in the House
would induce it before, and it was only
in deference to hie earnest work that
the small appropriation was allowed.
The committee held that the commerce
did not warrant a larger appropriation.
A bill was reported to the Senate the
other day as a substitute for a number
of bills, making the act to settle certain
j accounts between the United States and
State of Mississippi apply toother States,
so that Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, Ne
braska, Nevada, Colorado, South Dakota,
Washington, Montana, Idaho and Wy
oming shall receive 5 per cent, of the
sales of pnblic land in their respective
territories.
The report on the substitute Colville
Indian bill, prepared by Senator Allen,
has been given to a member of the In
dian Committee to be placed befofre the
Senate. Senator Allen says there is
only one way to deal with the Indians,
and mat is by refusing to consult with
them as to the disposition of their reser
vations, and that so lone as thev are
wards of the government the government
should deal with them, not as if the
tribes were nations, but as its proteges.
Representative Wilson has been inter
viewing various members of the Senate
Indian Committee in relation to the Col
ville bill. There is a disposition on the
part of the Senate Committee to amend
the bill by refusing to Bend the treaty
back to the Indians for ratification.
Some of the members of the committee
declare that the treaty is all right as it
stands, ana it is poor policy on the part
of this government to treat with, the In
dians upon subjects which are for their
own interests and of which the govern
ment and Congress are the best judges.
So it may be that the reservation will be
opened by a simple act of Congress.
Representative Wilson has offered an
amendent to the sundry civil bill, in
creasing the appropriation for the Gray 't?
liar oor ngpttiouse Irom the Jlo.'tw
previously appropriated to $75,000. This
was ruled out of order as new legisla
tion, although one of the members of
the Appropriation Committee statad that
tne objection to tne amendment was
that it "raised the limit" Wilson re
torted he understood the language. Al
though the amendment was defeated.

The provision ib covered in an omnibus
bill, which is now pending in both
Houses.
The Committee on Naval Affairs has
reported to the Senate with a favorable
recommendation the bill providing that
any naval olhcer now on the retired list,
who has been retired alter serving lortv
years or on attaining the age of 63 years,
sbail receive the rank and pay ot Uonv
modore. provided he had served credit
ably the full term of four years as chiel
of a bureau in the Navy uepartment
The committee also reported favorably
a bill amending the revised statutes so
as to provide that any ordinary seaman,
landsman, fireman, coalheaver or ddv.
who has been honorably discharged and
and shall re-en list for four years within
three months, shall be entitled to pay
for the three months, provided the men
enlisting for continuous service must be
effective and able-bodied men between
the ages of 18 and 35 years at the time
of enlistment, but the age ot limitation
is not applicable to persons re-enlisting.
The bill also provides that enlisted men
of the navy or marine corps, who have
served thirty years, may be placed on
the retired list and receive 76 per cent.
of their pay and allowances. War eery
ice is to be computed as double time in
computing thirty years. The President
is given discretion to permit enlisted
men to the navy or marine corps to pur
chase their discharge, and pensioners
who are inmates of the soldiers' homes
are allowed to have their pensions paid
to their wives, children or parents,
