Representative Holman reports 1865 Indian appropriations total 603 589 less than 1894 while the bill for 1895 requests 6 496 420 a drop of 238 173. Reductions favor admin and contingent costs with 124 350 added to general Indian schools and a plan to contract with church controlled district schools for up to 80 percent of last year’s cost over five years. Transportation cuts aim to concentrate students on reservations and a five member committee to visit reservations is seen as important policy.
