call attention to the possibility near or remote,
that the Department might be compelled TO make
larger disbursements of silver at New-fork, which
would make necessary a change in the rules of the

OF THE MURDERERs OF AGENT NEEKER.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-Prominent Army officers
in this cit by means sangunc of the att ain
ment of success by the Ute Commission, OF which
General Hatch is president in its efforts to procure
the surrender of the murderers of Agent Meeker.
On the contrary the belief is generally expressed
in army circles that the Indians simply trying
TO gain time in tho hope that military operations
against them will be prevented by Winter weather,
and that the guilty members of the tribe may scat
ter before the Spring season opens.
General Sherman says that he hopes for the best,
but thai there is no telling what will take place. He
has given orders, TO leave no means un-
tried to make the soldiers in camp In the
Ute country as comfortable as possible. He has di-
rected that shelter. clothing and the best of food
that can be procured shall be supplied to them. In
the event of the Interior Department failing in its
present efforts 10 secure the murderers, the Army
will be on the spot and make short work of the Utes
in the Spring or sooner if necessary. General SheT-
man believes that the Winter will have so reduced
the condition of the ponies OF the Indians rs 10
make il impossible for them 10 escape.
