women and children, guarded by two
companies Of the Third cavalry, under
Capt. Vroom left for Sidney, en- route

appeared very uneasy, looking as If
they intended making another dash for
freedom ordeath. However, when the
moment came for them to leave the
wagons that conveyed them appeared
on the ground. The Indians on being
ordered to get into them obeyed with
apparent reluctance, and as the train
wended its way eastward many anxious
looks were cast northward as If expect

Denver, Feb. 6.-The state legisla-
ture has unanimously adopted, and
Gov. Pitkin has signed, memorial to
congress protesting against the change
in the system Of land surveys proposed
by the national academy of sciences.
The memorial sets forth the peculiar
hardships which the change would work,
to miners especially, and to the people
generally, and concludes with q sum-
mary of the difficulties which would
attend the transaction of business at
Washington, instead Of at local survey
Offices, alio which would be abolished
by the proposed new system. The ex-
pense and delay thus occasioned would
not, In the opinion Of the memoralists,
be compensated by any favorable re-
suits whatever. 1t Is also feared that
the new system will interfere with ex-
isting surveys, and there is no doubt
that it would create a great deal Of an
noyance and confusion among miners
and prospectors.
