NASHIS01OS, Dec. 30--The order for the eject
mcnt Of tettleEa on the Miami Indau reservation,
kansss, was suspended to-dsy by order OF the
President. It seems that NIL these settlers went
Epon the lands without objection from the trttes,
expecting 10 pay the government rates, under the
ueaty, whenever the President should direct
their sale. There are about .ooo pr1sons on the
reservation, some Of whom have had thel1 farms
uIder cultivation for twelve gea1s. a lot Of a.l-
ventu1eEs ingEattated themselves Into favor with
the tribe. aud secretly obtained titles 70 the
uaess aetded upon, and, in some way
rot ret explained, IN, order was oh-
ta.Eed from the President directing
troops 70 proceed to the lands IN questton and
hr1Ee all these families on. The work OF elect
ment was to hare been begun to-day. The set
tiers Jestertay telegraphed to Senator Koas, ask
Ing him 10 Interfere He had, however, on leatu-
Ing OF the Issuance OF the order, called at once
on the President and asked that the oEder he sus-
