In the HOUSE,, the following message was

4 States, as follows;
: WAsHIsGroN, 18th Feb. 1889.
II TO the Senate and House Of Representatives.:
Being more and more convinced that thu
!. destiny Of the Indians within the settled por
Il ltions Of the United States depends upon the
!. entire and speedy migration to the country
I'll West of the Mississippi set apart for their per
), manent residence. am not anxious that al
:, 1.-The arrangements necessary to the complete ex
ls ecution Of the plan of removal, and to the ulti
!" nate security and improvement Of the Indians
= should be made without further delay. Thos
4, who have already removed and are removing
:. are sufficiently numerous to engage the seri
I. Ious attention Of Government; and it is due n
4 less to them than to the obligation which tn
;. nation has assumed, that every reasonable ste
should be taken to fulfil the expectations thu
q, have been held out to them. Many OF thos
s1lwho vet remain, will, no doubt, within sho
~ period. become sensible that the course recon
mended is the only one which promises ST;
bility or improvement. and it is to be hope
THAT all ofthem will realize this truth, and ,
mite with their brethren beyond the MissssiT
ri. Should they do so, there would be n
question Of Jurisdiction to prevent the Cove
nment from exercising such a general contr
= over their affairs as may be essential to the
lr. interest and safety; should any OF them. how
OF ever. repel the offer of removal, they free
-th remain; hut they must remain with such PRIV
pa leges and disabilities as the respective State
eff within whose jurisdiction they lie, may pr
Eoi scribe.
'h- transmit herewith, report from the Sc
ie- rotary of War, which presents general outliI
nd Of the progress that has already been made
tn. this work, and all of that remains to be don
1t will be perceived, that much information
he necessary for the faithful performance of Il
duties of the Government, without which
ne will be impossible to provide for the execute
ed. of some of the existing stipulations, or ma
int those prudential arrangements, upon which Il
MIS- final success of the whole movement, so far
ay relates to the Indians themselves, must d
M pend.
re- recommend the subject to the attention
tn Congress, in the hope that the suggestions
arr this report may be found useful, and that pr
ms visions may be made for the appointment
ion the commissioners therein referred to, and {
: vesting them with such authority. as may
led necessary for the performance of the importa
IND duties proposed to be entrusted to them.
