WlsmsoTON, Dee. "Jlv Senator WoUott lias prepared a new hill, that ho will intro. duce when congress reconvenes after the holiday recess, fur '.lie ratification of the agreement recently made with the southern I te band of Indians in southern Colorado. This measure is to take the place of the hill that the senator reintroduced at the opening of the. present session in relation to tills matter. The new bill has niHiiy new and Important provisions. Its provisions were outlined to the senator by a gentleman who is thoroughly conversant with the mutter, and, the senator thinks, will become a law at this session. It provides that the following district he set apart for the absolute and undisturbed use and occupation of the Southern t te. In-dians: I ommencing on the north bank of the San Juan river w here it crosses the line bctwien Colorado and I'tah, running them e north 7") miles, thence due west to the Colo, ratio river, to the San Juan river whero it empties into the Colorado river, thence cast, erly along the north bank of the San Juan to the place of beginning. The I'nited States reserves and retains from the above de-scribed tract one square section for agency buildings, and also reserves the right to grant right of. way for railroads and other like purposes that may be necessary. The United Slates is to pay f .iO.OiX) in ten annual Installments to the Indians, and to furnish f20,0(10 worth of sheep ns soon as the Indians are located on their new reservation. It is further provided that Tirnacio, Huekskiu Charley and Mornvo, chiefs of certain of these tribes, be paid foOU each in live unnual payments. In consideration of these provisions South, em L tes are to remove, to the reservation in Utah and cede, grant, convey and relinquish nil right, title and interest they may have to the United States, except the tract provided for their use, and especially relinquish all claims to the Southern Ute reservation, and all other lands iu the stale of Colorado. Tlm L'uited States, of course, will remove all per-sons from the new reservation that have no right there. Improvement on the Southern Uto reservation iu La Plata county and by the t ie band are to be ap-praised and sold to the highest bidder under direction of tho secretary of the interior. After this act becomes a law tlie secretary of the interior is authorized to appoint a commission of three to appraise this prop-erly and, also, the improvements of the set-tlers upon the lands embiaced in the d reservation. NOT A WAR Lt KB SHOWING. Activity at (tie Nu.y li iinvtinrut liiuuors of i.r Iti iilcil. W(siii-(,to- , Dee. J. Secretary Triiey'a office presented a busy sei ne this morning. Within an hour be.

Notwithstanding this sign of uMlcial activity and the reports prinbd of unusual work at the nay yards, the otlleiuls of the navy department deny that, then- is the least speck of a war cloud ill the diplo-matic hori.on. Assistant Secretary Scley says he lias already txpic-sc- d his views as lo navy yard work. When asked where the San Vrnneiseo was bound he declined to give a dctiuilo answer, but when, he claimed, the last time she went out for "gnu practice," us reported by tlm department, she had next been heard of at Valparaiso, lie said the vessel had no ord-r- s for Chile. Naval olliecrs who should know, when asked if the cruiser was bound for Acapuleo, replied that she would not go as far south as Mexico, lie also slated that the, Haltimorc was now probably north of. Panama on her way to S.in Krauejsco. Commodore Folger, chief of the ordnance bureau, added to the general denials by say-ing there was no unusual activity at the naval gun factory. Crump also insisted that his. forco was not working faster or longer than Usual. He said he had received no in-structions from the department to hurry work on the naval vessels now building at the I'nited Slates yards. Commodore Wil-son had gone over to Philadelphia to inspect the progress of naval work, and ou Saturday hud not found a single man of tlte iliKH) em-ployes at work. Moreover, Cramp did not believe half his force was at work today, as they were keeping the holiday season. At the department of state matters moved along in the usual serene fashion and tlu-r- Is not a trace of warlike excitement. The otHeinls say that nothing has been heard from .Minister lOgan since the Jjed instant tA )ie did not atlc.id President Monti's they did not know, and doubted tlie correctness of the report to that elfect. At the war department neither Acting Secretary tlrmit nor .Major-- ! icneral belio. field, who would certainly be in a position to know, had any information of the intention to appoint General Miles to com-mand the army iu the event of war with Chile. In fact tho only sign of work of preparation visible at the exec-utive department! considered in the order issued Saturday for the immediate prepara-tion of the new twelv inch guns just com-pleted at the navy yard here for transporta-tion to California, together w ith 4UU0 pounds of powder and 11,0(10 shells. Senor Aloutt, the Chilean minister, called at the department of state at noon. He had an interview with Secretary Blaiue for half an hour. A SAXTA t U WRi:CK.

The police made a large number of arrests in Russian Poland as a result of the discovery uf a se-cret league, the object of which was to as-sassinate the czar.

The authorities have ordered the frontier closely watched, oud it is believed further arrests will shortly be made. .4 COXST1TUTIOXAL A MEXItM EX T Proposed by the National League for the Protection of American Institutions.

Campbell Doesn't Think Cleveland's III It Young Itob lite. PiTTsBi nu, Dec. 2. Governor Campbell of Ohio was in the city lust night. Speaking of the outlook for the democratic presiden-tial nomination, he said he did not think Cleveland could get the necessary two. thirds majority, and if he is not nominated on the iirst ballot he will be defeated. In the event of Cleveland's defeat, lie was of the opinion that a western man, possibly Palmer of Illinois, would be chosen. Koi kfokd, III., Dee. It is understood here by leading republicans that Hubert Lincoln will be the next candidate of that party for governor of Illinois. It has been privately understood for some time among his near friends ihnt his life and duties us minister to the court of St. James were not at all to his liking, and especially since the heavy affliction lie has undergone while there, that he, would very much like to be relieved of his official banishment from his native land aud state, uud that only his sense of duty to the government has kept him at his post. ON THE MEXICAN BORDER. General Stanley 1 1 us a Difficult Task in Suppressing i.ar.a. Wasuinoton, Dec. SS. Acting Secrelury Grunt said today that ho regarded the situa-lio- n on the Mexican frontier as serious, and thut tlio war department was exerting itself to prevent further violations of the neutral-ity laws by Garza's bund of revolutionists. If necessary, to prevent these men from crossing backwards and forwards between Mexico and the United States, the entire military force, under General Stanley's com-mand, would bo distributed along the north bank ot the Rio Grande. It is snidutthe war department that Garza'.i movement is gaining strength, notwithstanding the ef-forts of the United Slates and Mexican troops to restrain it. Inasmuch as the Rio Grande is fordabln seven months iu the year and the revolutionists have many friends on each side of the river who keep them advised promptly of every move of the government forces, the task before. General Stanley's troops of preventing them from crossing is full of dillleulty. A Stubborn Old Murderer. Paius, Dee. o. An old man living iu the department killed his son in a quarrel over a legacy.
