Indian titles to the reduced reservations
be individualized and thoroughly protect

vation Indians be encouraged to abandon
their TRIBAL relations by setting up expert
mental forms of local government among
them as may be to the system of county
ritories in which the reservations are re-
spectiyely located.
The report says there are now in the
states and territories west of the Missis-
sippi river, 102 reservations, on which are
west of the Mississippi were gathered on
four or five reservations, our Indian affairs
could be managed with greater economy to
the government and greater benefit - the
Indians. He recommends that congress be
asked to create commission of three or
four eminent citizens to visit next year the
reservations west of the Mississippi river,
for the purpose of recommending to con-
gress, if they shall deem it wiss, the con
centration of the Indians on four or five
reservations, to be selected in different
parts of the west on which the different
tribes shall be located, and if this shall, in
the judgment of the commissioners, not be
wise, then to recommend the concentration
of the existing small agencies, where that
can be properly done, and reduction of
the area of others to dimensions proper
tionable to the number of Indians now To-
Gated thereon.

Boardman township, five miles south of

ton by appearing in the Treasury Depart

law fired three shots at the robbers as they
left the house with the bags of gold in
their arms. The burglars fired back No

CABINET RUMORS.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16.-There is re-
port that the President has determined up
on his cabinet state; that Lincoln will re-
tire by his own request, and Emery Storrs
will be Attorney General, that ex-senator
Howe will be Secretary of the Interior;
Chancey I. Filley, of Missouri, Postmas
ter General; Gen. Longstreet or some other
southern man, Secretary of the Navy, and
rumor does not fill the State and War De
partments. Frelinghysen's name has been
dropped among those mentioned for the
Cabinet since it was ascertained that he
was offered and had declined the Attorney
Generalship. Some who profess to be
well posted say Howe is no longer consld
cred by the president and that Ex Senator
Chaffee, of California, will be the next
Secretary of the Interior. There is nc
reason to believe that Elk Senator Sargent
is no longer thought of. The Pacific coast
has only four regular votes in Congress
California and Nevada went democratic
last year, and Oregon is very close. Hence
it is said the claims of that section for
Cabinet representation have been passed
by.
The President has commissioned the
following Postmastefs to-day; j. NJ Pat
ton, Villica, Iowa; Theodore S.Case, Kan

inc lively and interesting OF the candi-
dates, Keifer, Hiscock, Dunnell, Burrows
and Kasson are here. Orth, Reed and
Johnson of Massachusetts, will be here IN
few days. Keifer has established his
headquarters at the Ebbitt house, Hiscock
at the Arlington, Dunnell at the National,
and the others have not yet opened their
headquarters. Gen. Keifer's friends are
very hopeful. They say Keifer has the
united and cordial support of the Ohio del
egation and that while the fight will be OF
a sectional nature. the west against the
east, that Keifer Will get votes from Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and several from
the. south Keifer's friends believe
he has now more positive support
than any other candidate. AS the
contest now stands HIscock is
the most prominent candidate from the
East and Kiefer and Kasson from the West
It is represented that Orth has the solid
Indiana delegation behind him and that
Indiana proposes to make a determined
fight, claiming that she has not received
her proper reward for the important part
she played in the last election, and that she
is entitled to the Speakership.
