MIR. JORDAN ovERRULED.
His Report Recommending % Suspen-
sion of Silver Purchases and Conse-

sion of Silver Purchases and Conse-
quently Coinage Set Aside.
During February the Secretary Of the
Treasury purchased 1,45O,OOO ounces of
silver for coingage into standard dollars,
being about 100000 less than the usual
monthly purchase, because no more was
offered at market rates, owing to the In
creased expenses Of transportation during
the bad weather which prevailed during
the month. There was sufficient bullion
ON hand for the coinage Of dollars to the
minimum limit. Silver purchases are made
semi-weekly. A commission, consisting OF
Assistant Secretary Fairchild, Mr.. Kim6all,
director OF the mint, and Treasurer Jordan,
considers the bids received and reports to
the Secretary. Divided opinions have pre-
vailed for several weeks past among the
members Of the purchasing commission as
to the legality OF the purchases In question.
Treasurer Jordan holds that there should be
a specific appropriation for such purchases,
and in the absence Of such appropriation
invariably recommends the rejection Of all
bids received. The two other members
hold that the coinage act requiring the
purchase Of bullion and the coinage OF not
less than $4,000, 900 in standard dollars In
each month is In the nature of permanent
uppIOpIlutiOu, anu CuuicIb luii authority
In the premises. The result has been that
for several weeks past the Secretary has
received two reports on the subject, the
majority report recommending the accept
ance Of the lowest bids received, and the
minority report recommending the reIec-
tion of all the bids. The Secretary has in
each instance approved the majority report,
and directed that the silver be purchased
Had he acted in accordance with the recon-
mpnlntiOnR of Trnaeurnr Jordan nO aiIvar
would have been purchased, and the coin
age OF standard dollars TO the limit pro-
vided by law would have been practically
suspended,

Ahe president EVtnceB Interest ana

'Gand.
A delegation of New York Seneca In
dlans, consisting Of Andrew John, ir., and
7. T. Jamerson, and delegation Of South
en Utes from Colorado, consisting Of
Chief Ignacio, Buckskin Charley, Tapuche,
and their interpreter, Mr.. Archuleta. Wis
tied the President yesterday, accompanied
by their agent, Mr.. Stollsteimer, and Mr..
Osborne, of the Indian bureau. On behalf
Of the New York Indians 1t was stated that
they came to Washington to endeavor to
prevent legislation by Congress to provide
for the allotment Of their lands In severalty.
The President was informed that the only
title these Indians have to their lands IS
the right OF occupancy as q tribe or nation,
the fee having been purchased by Gorham
and Phelps and Robert Morris In the latter
part Of the last century from the state OF
Massachusetts,, that state having obtained
convention held Dec. 10, 1886. The state
Of New York retained the right of govern
ment and jurisdiction thereover, and IL is
now vested In the Ogden Land Company.
The Indians claimed that should their lands
be allotted in severalty the title by which
the nation holds the land would be eXtin-
guished, the Ogden Land Company would
then have absolute title and the Indians
would be ousted and lose their lands.
On behalf Of the Southern Utes 1t was
stated that they desired to sell their lands
in Colorado, and in lieu thereof obtain
| others in Utah, which, they said, are much
better adapted to their wants. They told
the President that the Indian commissioner
| was favorable TO their request to move, but
| he wanted TO have them go to the Indian
territory, a proposition they would not
| listen to.
The President listened patiently to their
statements and assured them that their in.
terests should be protected, but said that,
before making any promises, he desired to
consult with the Secretary OF the Interior
and the commissioner Of Indian affairs, Ia
whom he had the utmost confidence.
| Each OF these delegations has had inter-
views with Indian Commissioner Atkins,
the Secretary of the Interior, and the Senate
committee on Indian affairs. They will
call upon the House committee on Indian
affairs to-day. The Southern Utes leave
for Colorado on Sunday. Both delegations
express their qualification at the interest in
their welfare evinced by the President and
| the Interior Department officials.
