| WASHINGTON, July 27.-A commission
consisting of Hon. John v. Wright Of
Tennessee, Bishop II. B. Whipple Of
Minnesota and Charles F. Larrabee Of
the Indian Office has been appointed By
secretary of the interior, under provision
contained in the Indian appropriation
act, approved May Is, 1856, to negotiate
with certain tribes and bands Of Indians
IN the state of Minnesota and northern
Montana, Dakota, Washington and Idaho
territories for reduction of existing re-
selvatlons and for settlement of other
land matters. The commission is In
structed to negotiate with the Chippewas
in Minnesota for their removal and con-
solldation and permanent establishment
upon the White Earth reservation in the
western part of the state. This will M
clude Indians of Lake Winnebago, Leech
Lake, Mile Lac, Fond du Lac, Grand
Portage, Boise Fort and Deer Greek re-
servations. 1t is stated that the condition
of all these tribes aad bands is deplorable
in the extreme on account of the unpro-
ductiveness Of the lands of their present
reservations, most of which are covered
with pine timber, and in the case OF th1
Lake Wlnnebagos and Leech Lake reser-
vations, the construction of dams and
reservoirs at the head waters of the Mis-
slssippl by the government, has induced
disastrous overfows which have destroyed
their rice fields, fishing privileges and
hay meadows, which comprise their
accustomed means Of support. The dam
ages thus sustained will be considered in
connection with the negotiations. Al
the Fl. Berthold reservation in Dakota
the commission will arrange for the pur-
chase by the government of portion Of
the reservation. 1t Is learned that theoe
Indians have more land than they need,
but have no money with which 10 pur
chase stock. From Ft. Berthcld the CON-
mission will 60 to Northern Montana 70
negotiate with the Black Feet, Piegans,
Gros Venters, AssinAbolnes, and River
Crows, for the purchase of portion q
their reservation which contains aboat
% ,00O, 600 acres, or about 1O, ,OOO, 600 acre
