It appears that a number of Indian children hero entered the Home mission school under agreement with tha parents of the Indians. Many jrjlltes are opposed to the Indian schools tad the matter was finally brought.1 into court The court decided that written agreements with tho parents of Indian children to enter the school were not legal and that verbal agreements Were not binding. This decision had the effect of taking from the school 86 Indian pupils. Agent Jackson asked that the influence of the judicial authorities be exerted in building up the schools faifrm/l of tearing t.h«m down.

When 16 yean old he came to New York to study for an architect, in accordance with his motherS wishes. He was engaged in that business three ynai sin this olty. For five years after that be was employed oa a builder in Canada. Attracted to the southwest he constructed boats on the lower MisD sissippi up to 1843. When the'gold fever in California broke out he went to Panama, and with the small fortune he accumulated started in the banking business there. -This was the beginning of his great wkxwh. V' Later, as the partner of Ccmmpilqre Va»i-derbilt and Commodore Morgan in enterprises in California, he made a vast amount of money. In the shipping interest Commodore Vandorbilt was obliged toassociate himself with Commodore Garrison, who had developed into a powerful rival. In 1862 he returned to New York to establish a branch of bis Panama house. However, he soon left again and went to California, where he was the. manager of the Nicaragua Steamship company at a salary of $60,000 a year, and half as much as qgent of several insurance companies. Six months after going to San Francisco he became mayor of the city. Ho was prominently identified with the China and Japan trade and the Transcontinental telegraph and railroads. He laid the foundation for the success of many rich capitalists. The wealth of D. O. Mills, W. C. Ralston, Lloyd Tevis, of the Wells-Far go Express and Banking company, as well as that of many others who became millionaires, was, in a measure, created by his co-operation. Last June he made an assignment because his health would not permit him to extricate himself f«pm his business embarrassments. It was said at the time that this had partially been brought about through the revenge of D. O. Mills. Commodore Garrison, years ago, is said to have reproached the latter for failing to assist their old friend Ralston, president of the bank of California, when he was driven to the wall. Mills never forgave him for this. It the Russians broke the covenant of March 17 by lighting that battle then Eng land's obligation to the amejr would compel hfr.to call Russia to acoount and to prevent li«r further progress. But if the Afghans were the aggressors then the government could wash its hands of the Afghans, and leave them to fight or fraternise with Russia as_lbey choee. A street car ticket on the Chicago Wes- Division railroad and a key were the onl other articlos found in the dead man's cloth ing. Drs.

Speaker Haines, Representatives Cronkrite, Kimbrough, Welch, Senators Duncan, Sherman and Hill were in the first section, which consists of five now' Pullman coaches, a smoking and a baggage oar. The rougher element of the legislature is in the second section, which comprises tha same number of coaches. Online O'Shea,' McCalivry and others of that class who are in the second section complained much ot the "silk stocking" element taking possession of the best cars. They bad a good supply ot liquors with thorn, and their indignation waxed warmer the more they drank. They cursed the management of the excursion and created a general disturbance in their sleeper.
