Jan. 1T.-(!-pecl !l Tele gram.) In view of the manner In whl-h j the puraf-ruph In the indisn appropriation bill Just pushed tha house, is phrased, with reference to Indian warehousra, the re port of the board of Indian commirslon- era becomes of paramount Importance. I This report, made last lecewber, has direct bearing. upon trie qucat-:i wnether Omaha should be discontinued as a ware house station for Indian supplies, of first)! instance, showing a It does that thi board has a clear conception of Its duties. . Tho report With reference to the exist ing warehouse states: "We believe that the action of congress In reducing the number of permanent warehouses from five .to three will not result In economy or fireater efficiency in this branch of the service. On the contrary, we apprehend this wtlon will operate to decrease coin petition for supplies for the Indian EcrvU-e as It will result In greater comparative cost for temporary warehouses and make Impossible the retention of a trained and efficient force to handle this business. "The experience of the Indian bureau' is an argument for the retention of a suffi cient number of warehouses to keep com petition among the bidders alive and the arbitrary reduction in the nupiher -of warehouses, in the absence of any reliable data bused upon nn investigation, we be lieve will be found to have been a mis take."
