THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
GENERAL CROOK AT WASHINGTON
ia Consultation with til. ao,.rnm.at omc.n-rho
Disposition of the Captured ApaeAss-Why
the GorsrumSnt will not LeEaiIrs
or Redeem the Trade Dollar.

WASHINGTON, D. O., July 6.-secretary
Lincoln, accompanied by General Crook,
called at the Department Of the Interior
this afternoon, and held long conference
with Secretary Teller in regard to the dis
position Of the Apache captives. at the
conclusion OF the conference Secretary
Teller informed representative OF the
Associated Press that he declined to re-
ceive the captives on the San Carlos re.
seryation and be responsible for their
good behavior; that q proposition was
made to turn over to the war department
the police control Of the reservation
and hold that department responsible for
the good behavior Of the Indians, leaving
the agent responsible only for financial
matters pertaining to the agency. After
discussing this proposition it WIS decided
TO leave the matter in abeyance for the
present. Another conference will be held
ior the purpose OF deciding the question.
Gen. Crook was present at the Cabinet
meeting to-day, from which it is inferred
the Indian question was under considea-
tion. As result OF conference with
Secretary Teller to-day Chief Moses agreed
to surrender the reservation in Washing
ton territory and settle with his people on
the Colville reservation adjoining. Chief
Tomaskat, who represents the Indians now
on the Colvile reservation, was present at
the conference and agreed to receive Mo
ses and his people.
Chief Tomaskat requested Secretary Tel
Ter to erect on Colville reservation a saw
mill, grist mill and school house, and fur.
nish physician for the Indians. Chief
Moses gave notice that he would expect
for the relinquishment OF
the reservation. 1t Is expected the ar.
between the Government and
Chief Moses will result in throwing oped
for settlement two million acres.

THE woULD.BE DOLLAR.
why the Government Will Not Legalirs
or Redeem IL.

WASHINGTON, july 6,-The opinion al
the Treasury Department is adverse to
Congress legalizing the trade dollar by pro-
vidlng that 1t shall be exchanged for q
standard dollar, and fayors buying them at
their actual value as bullion. To do other
wise than this 1t Is maintained that it
would only depreciate the value Of the
standard dollar and fail to accomplish the
object desired-the withdrawal Of the trade
dollar from circulation. If Congress
should provide that the trade dollar
may be redeemed for standard dollars, dol
lar Tor dollar, this would In effect legalize
It, and the holders would be In no hurry
to exchange them, as they would be worth
the same as the standard dollars and be
freely taken. AS the Government coined
the trade dollar for private persons and re-
ceived only "a commission for coming
and did not receive o legal dollar for each
trade dollar issued, it could not now legal.
ize them without incurring loss OF the
amount OF difference between the actual
bullion value plus the charge received
for coming them and legal dollar.
Il is estimated that the Govern,
ment would lose, II these dollars are le-
galized, from 5000 900 to $4,000,000, and
Congress will hardly, when the facts are
understood, consent to take this amountof
money out Of the Treasury for the benefit
Of the holders Of this would be dollar.
Most people seem to be ignorant OF the fact
that the Government did not issue these
coins as dollars, aud it only took bullion
deposited in the mints by private persons
and coined tho trade dollars, and turned
over all the bullion thus coined, less small
amount for the expense Of colnins. Treas
ury officials do not understand there.
fore why the Government should pay
81 for IS cents worth Of silver II the trade
dollar is legalized it is believed here that
$50 100000 now in circulation in China
will at once flow back into this country,
Although the government has coined about
81, 900, 900 trade dollars for private persons
for their China trade, yet they do not ap.
pear among the liabilities OF the Treasury
because they were never issued as money.
This fact wants 10 be kept in mind by
those persons who want the Government
to redeem them.
