CONGRESSMAN HARRIS WAS APPOINTED.
INQUIRIES were made yesterday in this city Of per-
SONS conyersant with Indian affairs in regard to the
action Of the Controller of the Treasury in suspend
ING payment upon number of beef contracts, be-
cause Of reports made to the War Department by
army officers on the frontier that the beef Is
wretcLed in quality and far below the standard.
Gen. Clinton b. Fisk, President of the Board Of
Indian Commissioners said that be knew nothing
about the facts stated further than what he had
read in TIE TRIBUNE He remarked, however, that
he had received dispatch from Secretary Delano, in
which the Secretary denied having sent a secret
agent to the Indian Agency. Mr.. Delano stated that
he had placed the matter entirely in the hands Of
the Indian Commissioners, and he demanded the
earliest and most thorough examination that could be
made Gen. Eisk also stated that the appointment Of
Mr. Harris ma a member Of the Special Commission
10 investigate the charges had neither been re-
oucsted by Secretary Deano, nor had il been sug-
gested or Influenced by him. Mr. liarris's appoint
meut had been made solely upon the responsibility
of the Indian Commission.
Commissioner +. 4. Hayt said that it was per-
fectly natural and TO have been expected that the
Controller Of the Treasury should have refused pay
ment upon the contracts for beef until the dscrep
ancv between the required weight Of 1,0f0 pounds
and Prof Marsh's estimate of 100 pounds had been
examined into MI Hayt also said that rs chair
