Tlio policy advocated lit my report would be most advantageously applied gradually, the general government of the lmiinue being continued according to the methuds now in vogue or such impiovAuient of them as tlmu nnd experience may suggest. The ultimate development of the suggested policy would, as tlio Indians advanco ill clvlllzalliiii and intelligence, result In the return to them of the pihielpal derived from tho sale of their lands which, until such measures were authorized by act of Congress would bo held as trust for their benefit and tlie income applied to their support. 0 1 A It 1 I I N.

I Wasiiim.to.v, Jnminiy 4. lu to icquost fur additional Inf.irmatlou explanatory of In 1iU last annual ivpoit In legnrd to ilia Indian queslloii, Licutcuuit Gi'iiotnl Slioildim lin wilttui tho fuilnnlng ht.Uoinctit: "In iKjifthOol lopmt fov f.Vvb recommended Unit (aili Indian family bo given and lnculid upon acre now provided tor Uiciii ly law lu the course of actual settlement; Hint the Covcimneiit then condemn the remainder ot each reservation and buy it hi jit $1. 25 pcrncicaiid with the proceeds puiriinsa (loveriiineiit bonds to be held lu trust by the Interior Dapartinent, giving to the Indians eueli year the intciest on tho bonds for their support. I cited hi Illustration of lint would be the practical workings of lids suggestion, tho case of the Crons, tho Cheyennes, mud Arapahoes and tho Utcs, but the limits of tny report did not permit a full recitation of the advantages that would accrue to the Indlau, uor any allusion to the large amount of LAND NOW l.VINO IDLE that would thereby be opened to settlement and increase by so much the material prospects of tho nation.

When it Is attempted to deal with Ills subject moro in a difficulty Is at onco encountered in that neither the actual atea of the various reservations has been actually determined nor tho population of the Indians occupying them known within. approximate limits. It will, therefore, not be possible to show the exact working of the method proposed, but a goneial summary covering the cases of the larger reset valions in. each territory and the most populous of the ditferent tribes. Sinco the appropriations for the support the Indians are not in, every case made specially for those upon any particular reservation, but rather collectively for those inhabiting some State or Territory, in limit-Ttomparisuns wjtli the sum now required tor tho subsisteuce of the Indians.aud the annuities allowed them by treaty, the aggregate for a Territory or for seveinl Teirito-iles has necessarily been considered rather than for each or loservation.

In Dakota tho IHINCIPAL OBSERVATIONS are tho Fort Berthoid and those Inhabited by the various bands of Sioux. Tho Fort Derthol.1 resei ration, with an area of over Hen's, lias a population of 1,300 people; tho others an aieaof nearly acres and a population of about 25, 00. Carrying out the proposals of my report would, iu tho former case, atfoid an annual incoino Of over .5140,000 and in the hater cash a-surplus unoccupied bv tho Indians of over 20,500,000 acres, or ail extent of territory 011110110 the combined aiea of the States of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Connecticut, the proceed of which at four per cent, per annum would yield an intciest of over $1,000,000. Oji two of the smaller reservations the Devil's Lake and South Mountain, area 270,340, population over 1,800 nearly half tho land would be required by tho Indians. In this easo then the incume front the surplus would he smalt, being a little less than 88,000 per annum.

In Montana the Black-teet reservation contains over 21,500,000 acres and a population of less than 7,000 Indians. The surplus imul, equal to tho area of the State of Maine, would then return an income of 81,000,000. The Crow reservation, mentioned in my report, could in a similar maimer bo made to produce an annual sum of THE ADVANTAGES. Considering all tho Indians and reservations in the Territories of Dakota and Montana we have an aggregate area of over r.AooO.OOO acres and a population of less 45,000. Tlie surplus area of nearly tUllOOO square miles would produce an annual interest of over 82,500,000.

Tho appropriations for the iiscal year ending June 1884, for fuiillling treaties with tiiese tribes and for their subsistence and civilization and the pay of tho employes incident io such undertaking Amount to about less than this sum. Iu Wyoming the Shoshones are located upon the Wind River reseivatlon. One huudrad and Seventeen thousand dollars per year could be realized fiom that surplus land. In Idaho the Fort Hall Reservation, aed by tiie Bannocks and Shoshones, in tlie same way produco each year 835,000, and tlie Occur dAleuo Reservation 528, 000. In these two territories of Wyom-Dg and Idaho, the total area of tlie reservations are nearly 5,000,000 acres, and the total population nearly 6,000, An area of Dearly 7,200 square miles almost equal to the State of New Jeisey would not be required for tlie Indians, and an income would be yielded of about $235,000, a sum knore than 8100,000 in excess of the appropriation for the e.urrent year.

In Oregon the most populous reservation is the Klamath, with OVER A MILLION ACRES, tmt less than 1,000 inhabitants. It would yield nearly' 850,000 a year. In Washington Territory the Yakamas, about 8,200 in number, occupy the. reservation of 800,000 acres of the same name. Here tlie surplus land would bear but $30,000 a year.

In this State and Territory the reservation, With a total popu'ation of about 10,000, embraces 8,400,000 acres, or about seven and one-half million acres more than would be required by them under the plan proposed, Which would produce per annum $370,000, ur about $300,000 rnoie than is appiopriated for these Indians. Tlie different bands of Utes lu Utah and Colorado number about 3,650 and their reservations include over 5,000,000 acres, of 'which tlie surplus portion would produce a yearly income of about $240,000, or about $175,000 more than is being disbursed this year for thoir benefit. In New Mexico the Navnjns on the reservation of tlio same nemo have now 8,000,000 acres for a population of 23,000 people. Here tlie surplus -laud would yield over $330,000 a year. For the surplus, lands, of the Mescalero Apaches reservation the income would be nearly $20,000.

In Arizona tlie principal reservation is the White Mountain, with tho agency at San Carlos. It cm- braces more than 2,500,000 acres. unceitainty exists as to its population, but it is probnhly about 3,000 in the vicinity of the agency, and 20,000 more who Iiave removed Into tlie northern part, and are now engaged in farming and in efforts to make themselves self-supporting. The lattor would, however, be entitled to ail the benefits obtained by tlie agency Indians in any scheme looking to the piomotion ot the general prosperity.

COR. DOUGLAS AND LAWRENCE AVENUES. CHEROKEE LANDS. ChorOkee Attempting to Annul Cattle Lease A Dispute lu Court. Little Rock, January 4.

An Indian Territory special says that an attempt Is being made by a number of leading Cber-okees to set aside the lease of tlie tract of laud known as the Cherokee outlaud to a syndicate of cattlemen. Tile land embraced mure than six million acres and Includes all the unoccupied lands of tlu Clierokeo Nation lying west of the Arkansas River. The lease was made in July, 1883, by an act of tlie Cherokee Council which directed Chief Bushyliead to let tlio ill' question for a term of five yeais at a rental of per year, the ngmey to be divided per capita among the Cherokee people. Tlie lessees are prominent Western stockmen. It is claimed that the bill authorizing the lease was railroaded through the Council; Hint the Cherokee speaking members did not imdentnnd it, and that tlie consideration was too small, Tlie Cherokees who oppose it hope, jo obtain an investigation by a Congressional committee ns to the means used In securing the lease, in which event they are confident it will bo abrogated.

A SECTIONAL DIFFERENCE. Washington, January 4. The case of the Eastern baud ot Cherokees against the Western band of Cherokees, claiming a division of moneys arising from the sale of Cherokee land is at tlio head of the Supreme Com calendar, and will come up for hearing to-monovv.

A sudden change In tlie' weather took place here early yesterday morning, and winter lias fairly set in. It began snowing at daylight and continued unceasingly until three oclock in the afternoon.

A stiff breeze is blowing from the north, which increases the severity of the cold. Advices from Northern Nebraska have been received saying that a blizzard is prevailing in that part of the State and no doubt its effects will be felt here for a few days. Owing to tlie recent rains nnd the severe cold following tlie roads are iu a terrible condition and travel by wagon is almost impossible. NORTH WESTERN KANSAS. Colby, via Oaklev, January 4.

Revising the Code of Signals. Washington, January 4. Tlie committee selected by tlie Secretaries of War and Navy, consisting of General Hazeu of the army and Lieutenant Boeder and Commander Hoff of tlie navy to report upon a more desirable code of signals for tlie United States lias held several meetings tlie past weeK. It was agreed to procme the different codes now used by the different Governments of tlie world and to Instruct a certain number ot tlie men at Fort Mier in the use of each of thorn. When sufficient time 1ms elapsed the committee will hold a Eoit of competitive examination to ascertain which power in their estimation 1ms tho best system.

It will then be tlie duty of the three officers to endeavor to devise one better than Hint selected at tlie trial. Their report will be submitted to tiie Secretary who in turn will submit it to Congress for action. By this course it is hoped that a simplified and improved codo of signals will be produced to be used in both tlie naval and military services. Maxwells Trial Sot. St.

New York, January 4. A World correspondent in an Interview with President Cleveland yestei day asked bow lie regarded Senator Becks speed) upon tlio tariff. Tlio answer was, My own personal idea about that is that tlie only piactical wfity to pass a bill would be to Iiave tlie pioper committee charged w'ltli tlio work take up tlie subject in a business fashion, and modify tlie present law in such a way as to liolp poor people who labor, and to take away needless protection Horn tiie few who have grown inordinately rich at tho oxpense of tho many.

Referring to the subject of tho consideration by the Senate ot his appo.n'tmeuts the President said: "1 have mado no hasty selection of officers, but on the contrary have given very much time and investigation to the subject, appreciating that very much depends on tlie personnel of tlie Government. Possibly I may have erred in some Instances, but I am sure they are few, and I have every evidence that llie country Is satisfied with tlie new offils. I have no knowledge as to wlmt course the Senate will pursue, but I have no ldoa that it will assume to intcrteie with tho pieroga-tives of tlie President, I have my duties nnd it lias its dunes.
