THE UNDELIvERED UTEs.
Discussion as to the Policy to be Pursued
Toward Thsm-BeIfords Views Con.
ger Painting up for a War Dance Ia
the House When The 0uts.
tlun Comes Up.

WASHINGTON, December 20.-Represen,
tatiye Belford, Of Colorado, had an inter,
esting interview with Secretary Schurz to.
day on the Indian question, and especially
with reference 10 the failure OF the Utes 10
deliver up those engaged in the Meeker
massacre, which failure has occasioned
some uneasiness at the Interior Depart.
ment. General Hatch had telegraphed
that he would bring five chiefs from the
southern agency to Indian Creek, and
wanted to know whether he should bring
them TO Washington. This Telegram led
TO the Interview, and Judge Beliofd was in
favor ot bringing them on in the hope that
they might agree to the removal ol the
tribe to the Uintah Reservation, and the
Secretary was Of the same opinion.
The present relation Of the Indians to
the treaty was then discussed. 1t was con.
ceded that the hostile White River ULes
had forfeited their treaty rights and were
to be dealt with as though no treaty had
ever been made with them. Judge Bel.
lord, however, took more advanced posi-.
tion, that the tribe should be treated as a
unit. DE argued that they refused as a
tribe to deliver up Indians engaged in the
massacre and that although all were not
originally concerned in the war on Thorn.
burgh aud the massacre at the agency,
they were accessories after the fact and
were as guilty as original participants.
- Lhe me Secretary, in reply, said he would
make q careful study OF the treaty; that il
was possible the treaty required the tribe
to deliver up those making war, and that
failure to do SO abrogated the treaty.
They both agreed that these Utes should
be removed TO the Uintah reservation,
across the border line OF Colorado in The
Utah territory, and il they were not re.
moved trouble would be likely to occur in
the spring. 1t is quite possible that Il the
Indians refuse 10 agtee to a peaceful re-
moval the government will compel them
TO 60.
During the interview, a portion OF the
official correspondence on this subject
was received, and Judge BelEord there.
upon remarked, that the Secretary had
made great mistake in not publishing il
ut the time it was had, and said it would
have relieved the Secretary from consid.
cradle Censure that he thought was unde-
served. Representative Conger, OF Mich,
stated to-day, that he intends to renew
the argument Of active conflict when the
question again comes up in the House.
lie also said the papers in Colorado did
not sustain Congressman Beliord's view
Of the subject, that they were opposed to
the removal Of the Utes, and that when
the discussion is resumed, he will have
them on hand, and read from them. In.
dications are that the debate will be bitter
and acrimonious.
