y At a conference between a
committee of the Rhode Island Legis-
lature and the Narragansett tribe OF
Indians, on the 9th. at Charleston, the
red men decided to become citizens of
the State under the civil rights bills.
They do not wish to vote. This once
famous tribe has dwindled to 1873 per-
sons, and there is good deal of negro
blood among them. They now exist
as an independent community, under
she guardianship of the State, electing
their own officers and making their
own laws. They own about 5000 acres
of land.
