Troops 10 Move Them.

WARRINGTON, June 94,-The trouble il
the Indian Territory arises mainly from
different interpretations of the treaty s!ip
ulatious and OF the permit laws passed by
the Choctaw and OhiCkasaw legislatures in
1875, requiring merchants, farmers, me,
ChaniCs, laborers, &C., who are citizens ol
the United States, to pay small yearly
tax for the privilege OF plying their differ
eat voCations within the limit Of these Iu.
dian countries, The Secretary OF the In.
terror in 1877 decided that these permit
laws Imposing taxes on foreigners were
without authority so far as the collection
OF the tax was concerned.
Many white settlers and Individual
OhoCtSws and ChiCkAsAws construed this
decision to permit persons to enter The
country without the consent OF the
Indian authorities and since then many
whites, at the invitation of individual
OhoclaWs, have established themselves In
the Indian country, and ever since re-
fused to remove or Ipay the yearly tag,
The question Of the validity Of theae "per.
nit" iaga was submitted to Congress and
referred to the Judiciary Oommitteeo Of the
Senate In 1870, who reported that the laws
were not invalid. Secretary Kirkwood
being pressed on one haud by the Indian
authorities to aid in the expulsion Of tho
alleged intruders, and on the other hand
by the friends OF the white settlers 10
prevent the expulsion, and In view Of the
uncertainty OF the laws bearing on the
matter has Decided to submit all the legal
questions involved to the Attorney Gen.
eral for his consideration, urging q speedy
opinion from him Ia the meantime Agent
Tulls has been directed to request Cover.
nor McUurtain to suspend action under
the "permit" laws until further advised
by the Department. Secretary Kirkwood
to day received telegram from II,
Smith, Of Arkansas, embodying the
resolution adopted at mass meeting
of citizens Of that place yesterday. The
resolutions complain that the Indian
authorities OF the ChOCtaw nation passed
o law assigning a very high tax ON all
white persons, without Indian rights, who
carry on any trade or occupation In the
territorial limite OF the nation, and deplor'
ing the action OF the Ohoctaw nation In at
10 enforce such laws at q time
when such enforcement would work
great injury, hardship and suffering on
the white settlers The Secretary 10
earnestly implored 10 take such steps IN
behalf OF the people as In his judgment
may be necessary 10 postpone the enforce.
ment OF the law III question until the
present growing crop Is gathered.
