request OF Indian inspector watkins
There are a number OF tribes scattere1
through that region who wish TO DC placed
on reservation. Inspector watkins Is
authorized and empowered to select sulta-
bic reservations and locate the Indians on
the same. His principal object IN passing
through that country is to make personal
inspection of the character and disposition
of the Indians. the nature OF those regions,
and to designate where the reservations are
to be located. 1t is also Thought the
marching of n large force OF troops through
there will have very beneficial effect ON
the Indians. Most of them are peaceably
disposed towards the whites, while some
of them are restless and Inclined to DC tur-
bulcnt. Mr.. Watkins. while making a
display OF the troops, and showing the
firm determination OF the government to
punish severely all offenders, proposes to
show the Indians that If they are peacea-
BILE and behave themselves they shall not
be molested, but on the contrary afforded
protection.

the present trouble. Secretary Sherman
holds that the present excessive dullness
of business is mainly caused by the falling
off in demand for our manufactured pro-
duets, especially iron. and is u consequence
of over production in all the markets of
the world. The labOrers' strike occurred
just when, because OF great agricultural
prosperity in this country, the signs OF an
early general revival OF all classes OF busi-
ness were very hopeful. treasury statls-
