resolution was offered by McMahon, Gen.
Cox, Of Ohio, in behalf of the republican
members of the committee, said it was
we'll known the policy Of the minority has
been to leave the majority to act upon
his matter without interference from the
minority, therefore sthey would ask to be
excused from voting upon McMahon's
resolution. This action was consistent be-
cause the republicans had taken this
ground when the Potter resolution was
first introduced, that investigation of the
presidential election was unnecessary and
inexpedient and calculated to disturb bust
ness tranquility. The resolution was then
adopted by votes of all the democratic
members. General Butler was absent

The Judge Claims the Tribe shouid
be Treated as Unit-They
Had Forfeited Treaty
Rights

Washington, Dec. 29.--Representa-
tive Belford, of Colorado. had an inter
esting interview with Secretary Schurz
to-day, on the Indian question, and es-
pecially with reference to the failure of
the Utes to deliver up those engaged in
the Meeker massacre, which failure has
occasioned some uneasiness at the in
terror department. General Hatch had
telegraphed that he would bring five
chiefs from the southern agency to In
dian creek, and wanted to know
whether he should bring them to Wash
ington. This telegram led to the inter-
view. Judge Belford was in favor of
bringing them on, in the hope that
they might agree to the removal of the
tribe to the Uintah reservation, and
Secretary Schurz was of the same opin-
ion. The present relation of the Indi-
dams to the treaty was then discussed.
1t was conceded that the hostile
White River Utes had forfeited their
treaty rights and were to be dealt with
as though no treaty had ever been made
with them. Judge Belford, however.
took the more advanced position, that
the tribe should be treated as unit.
He argued that they refused rs tribe
to deliver up the Indians engaged in
the massacre, and that although all
we're not originally concerned in the
war on Thurnburgh and the massacre
at the agency, they were accessories
after the fact, and were as guilty as the
original participants. F
