lion 10 what Dr DashIeIla hal said, a. he mad
moi been connected with the agency since NAV
aat In Oregon and California thew had speciel
rnmmittees Appointed 10 take charge OF the
work and they were directed largely nv the re-
CONNIE ndatIons coming from them In making
their nominations to the president, and in most
or ave native Indian ministers that are preach

much knowledge could he gained from this con.
ference Ali ol the agencies had been rendered
10 Ma church without their knowle1ge, and they
cordially came into the measure. Nearly ali Of
those IN New Mexico we're rendered 10 their
church and when he Jaw the lIst il was with A
great sinking Of the heart for he Thought them
hp worst Indians on the continent They have
nina AGENCIES snppIieJ win the heat men they
could nnd six Of the agencies were with tribes
not on rcseryatIons and they experience con.
siderable trouble in irving 10 instruct them.
The church had aiso two agencies In the In.
dian TERRITORY, The tribes were well advanced
and little trouble was experienced in teaching
them. Mr. Bute, one Of their agents. had heef
tiIIcJ nv rowing tSibe moi ether ~ those Win
which the agent was connected. ThIs fact
| caused considerable sadness lie was surprised
| on hearing the reports read Of nndInR 90 many
| avents fof 40 few Indiana and asked wonIi Il
| moi he well 10 consolldate them somewhat lie
! Thought there should be some action taken by
| which there would be A coinpetent e1ualIZation
| 81 the salaries of agents. There had bcen snent
| bv the church Of which he was a member fully
| $4,000 last year and the members were willing
10 40 ali they cou1 10 Xtend civilization in that
| direction and were In favor Of the new Indian
! polIcy.
FATHER pEsHngE SAD THAT
! the number Of members Of his church was
greater than that OF any other denomination, a.
| thry numbered about dOOOOOo and il was In
! this that they founded their claim for greater
weight in the distribution Of the aRencIcs and he
! Thought The commission Would be willing 10 re-
| ceIye and entertain the claim
| Dr. Rlshop, OF the board, said that In the an
| portionment OF the agencies the board hal
nothing 10 do with H. hui IL was the work Of the
| Interior Department and he did not think that
| the matter should be brought IN at the meeting
| Father DeshOnc desired to apologize IL he haf
| lntriided the matter on the Commission at an
| improper time but the Secretary Of the Interior
| had directed him to do ~.
gFs NOW am sam
that the Secretary informed him that he inner
I lied this division Of WORK, and Thought thai he
! mad been very much abused from certain quar-
tiers for his action in the matter, lie Thought
| tbat both the PresIjent and Inc Secretary wonIi
| he glad n Father DeshOne would ask for
RElpiTsrgsST or raE AGENCIES,
and without doubt 1t would he made,
The chairman Thought that at the time the
allotment was made ii was a good one and had
| Onerated very successfully,
