The Wood Funding Scheme-A Com mittee Vote in it's Favor. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The House Com | mittee of Ways and Means took up the re- funding question this morning for final de- cision. The first vote taken was upon the rate of interest. This was decided in favor of three and half per centum by vote of Il to 2. The question of time was then settled by the decisive vote of 12 to 1 in favor of bond paya- ble; in not legs than twenty nor more than forty years. The interest on these bonds is to be paid quarterly, and they are not to be used in funding the fves and sizes, amounting to about five hundred million dollars The committee decided also to recommend that authority be given to the Secretary of the Treasury to issue two hundred million dollars of four per centum Treasury notes-redeema- ble at pleasure-to assist the reduction of the annual interest burden in the manner pro posed by Representative Kelley.
 A Warning to Invaders of the Indian Territory.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The following WAS issued this afternoon by the President of the United States:
 A PROCLAMATION.
 Whereas, It has become known to me that certain evil disposed persons have within the territory and jurisdiction of the United States begun and set on foot preparations for or ganized and forcible possession of the lands of what is known as the Indian Territory, west of the State of Arkansas, which territory is designated, recognized and described by the treaties and laws of the United States and by the executive authorities as the Indian country, and as such is only subject to occu- patton by Indian tribes, officers of the Indian 5z.z as may be privileged to reside and trade there in under the recognized laws of the United States and
 Whereas, these laws provide for the removal of all persons residing and trading therein without express permission of the Indian de- partment and agents, and also of all persons whom such agents may deem to be improper persons to reside in the Indian country; and
 Whereas, in aid and support of such organ iHed movement it has been represented that no further action will be taken by the Govern ment to prevent persons from going into such territory and dwelling therein, but such rep resentations are wholly without authority.
 Now, therefore, for the purpose of properly protecting the interests of the Indian nations and tribes as well as the United States in said Indian Territory, and of duly governing the same, I, Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States, do admonish and warn all such persons so intending or preparing to remove upon said lands or into said Indian Territory, without permission of the proper agent of the Indian department, against any attempt to so remove or settle upon any of the lands of said Territory. And I further warn and notify all such persons who may so offend that they will be speedily and immediately removed therefrom by the agents, according to the laws made and pro- vided, and that no efforts will be spared to prevent the invasion of said territory, the ~'rumors spread by evil fn withstanding. And if necessary the aid and assistance of the military forces of the Uni ted States will be invoked to carry into prop CT execution the laws of the United States herein referred to.
 In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the city of Washington, D. O., this twelfth day of February, in the year of our Lord 1880, and of the independence of the United States the 1O4th.
 (Signe6 R. B. HAYES, President.
