TROUBLE AHEAD FOR STATES.
Garland Decides That They Have Collected
Money They Aren't Entitled to.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 9.-Attorney
General Garland has rendered an opinion
that the state of Kansas is not edtitled to 5
per cent. of the net proceeds of the sale Of In
dian lands within her borders. This decision
is of far-reaching Importance, and while it is
confined to the state of Kansas will it is I'M
derstOod, operate as n precedent for deter
mining the action of the secretary of the in
terror as regards Indian lands claimed by
other states. Kansas has already been al
lowed the : per cent. in the cases of the
sales of several Indian reservations, they
being considered public lands, and the
act of admission as a state providing that she
should receive said per cent. She now
claims tie per cent. ON the Usage reservation,
and Garland decides that she is not entitled
thereto, AS Indian reservations are not public
lands. The money acquired by the sale Of
these reservations is held in trust for the
Indians, and it is understood that action will
be begun at once to recover from the state of
Kansas moneys paid heretofore under an
erroneous construction of the granting act,
and that other states which have received
money under similar erroneous construc-
tions will also be asked to refund.
