WASHINGTON NOTES.
The Cattlemen Must Go.-Likewise Army
Officers

WASHINGTON, August 29.-The time al
lowed by the President in his proclamation
for the settlers upon the Crow Greek lands,
in Dakota, to vacate expired more than a
month ago. but no steps have been taken
| by the Government towards a forcible re-
moval OF the settlers. Reports have been
sent to Commissioner Atkins to the effect
that the whites have been laying claims to
cattle belonging to the Indians, and these
reports led to the issue to-day OF the follow
ing instructions:
ITO Agent Gassain, Grow Creek, Dakota:
The Secretary has granted you authority
| to remove all settlers and unauthorized
persons from the reservation and il neces-
sary call upon the commanding officer at
the nearest military post for IL force suffi-
cient to effect their removal. Proceed at
once to remove them and their Effects"
| THEY MUST COMPLY.
| But three OF the army officers affected by
| Secretary Endicott's order sending men on
| long detached duty back to their regiments
have complied with the Sccretary's instruc-
| tions. These are Captain William W..
| Wherry of General Schofeld's staff, who
| has been on detached service eighteen years
| and three months; Lieutenant c. B. Scho-
field of General Schofeld's staff, on de-
tached duty six years and nine months,
and Captain j. G. Wharton ofGeneral Ham
| cocks staff, on detached service seventeen
years. Several Of the officers who have not
complied with the order have telegraphed
here, but their friends in Washington have
replied that no exceptions will be made. 1t
is reported that some OF the officers who
have been on long detached service will re-
sign from the army before they will join
their regiments.
AN IMPORTANT RULING
An interesting point in connection with
the naturalization laws has just been
settled by the Secretary OF the Interior in
disposing OF the case OF Ross VS.. Poole.
Ross made pre-emption filing while an
alien, supposing that the declaration of the
intention of his father, who had not been
naturalized, was sufficient to qualify him
as pre-emptorupon attaining his majority.
Before he discovered his error and filed
again for the tract, Poole made home
stead entry upon it. The Secretary held
that the removal OF the disqualification
came too late to invalidate the intervening
right OF Poole.
Sixth Auditor McConville has returned
all opinion in regard to letter carriers
leave of absence. He decides that they are
entitled to fifteen days leave in each year,
but the time of leave is in the discretion of
the postmaster OF the office where the |
carriers serve !
