HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

WAsHiNGIoS feD. D. 1879.
The House. at one O'Clock p. NJ. went into Com
mttee of the Whole (Mr. Eden, of illinois. in the
chair. upon the Army Appropriation bill. The
pending amendment was that offered by Mr..
Page. rep. of CAL. as substitute for
the Indian transfer amendment authorz.
ing the President to transfer the control
and management of any Of the Indian tribes teni-
porarily to the War Department whenever he shall
deem that action TO be desirable account OF hos
tility the part of such tribes toward the United
States, or on account of difficulties between them
and the settlers.
Mr.. SCALES. ldem.l of n. c.. raised the point of
order that the substitute changed existing law and
did not rctrench expenditures.
The CHAIR overrulod the point of order.
Mr.. GARFIELD, (rcp.j of Ohio. thought that Con-
gress ought not TO enter on any legislation upon
which committee could not come to q conclusion.
The Indian Commission had been ut work for
months. and had failed to report any bill which
had received the assent OF majority of that CON-
should vote for the substitute OF the gentleman from
California tSlr. Pagel.
Mr.. BooxE, tdein.) Of Ky., said that though the
commission had been equally divided. still a
iorty OF the House Commissioners had been in favor
OF the transfer.
Mr. BUTLER trcp) OF Mass. submitted an amend.
ment 10 the transfer amendment providing that all
tribes of Indians winch within til. last iivc years
have done hostile acts to the United states the
nature of war. or which may hereafter commit such
acts shall DO transferred TO the War Department.
The difference between his amendment and that
offered by the gentleman from California tMr. Page
that the latter left the matter to the discretion
OF the President. while his (Mr. Butlers amendment
made 10 provision of law.
Mr.. HASKELL. of Kansas. said that that amendment
would include within its provisions many Indians
who were now At peace. IL would transfer to the
War Department the remaining fragments OF the
Modoc band, who were now As pcaceablo as any body
OF white men In the country.
Mr.. BUTLER replied that IL would include those

grcssional commission that recently investigated the
question. showing striking instances OF fraud
ON the part OF Indian agents.
Mr.. Haskell still further opposed the transfer.
