THE FuTuRK fNnIAE POLICY.
WAsHtNGION, Nov 80. IN his t0rth-
coming annual report Secretary Lamar
will, 10 great extent, ingorse ,ha recon-
mendntions OF Commissioner Ailsins as 30
the future treatment Of The IndRns. The
secretary does not advocate the
abrogation OF existing treaties
when tho commissioner believes
will eventually be necessary 10 carry
out the policy, but he will oppose from
this on the making Of any more treaties
or agreements with the Indians. He ia
yors aud Will recommend again 20 con-
gress tue establishment OF permanent
commission, to consist OF three civilians
and three army officers, who shall have
charge Of Indian affairs "in the bcld, 20

OF the Mississippi river except ON
special business. The commission shall
make the abolition Of tribal relations the
I chief aim Of their work, but Will also over
see the Indian service ia every phase
which Is not now IN charge OF agents
The secretary sees that the work cannot
BIO done without liberal approprla

which must be continued from year

lieyed that Il will prove great saving TO
the government IN years TO come. The
policy which The secretary recommends II

Atkins, bat II points the same way, ana
