Gently offered by Dawes asking information
as TO the alleged outrages and restraints of
liberty practiced against Indian women in
Alaska.
The Secretary says that the d. partment
possesses no information on the subject, nor
has its attention been called to it, otherwise
than through newspaper reports of uncer-
tain value. The Department, says the Sec
retary, possesses no authority to redress
these grievances if they do exist. The only
agency through which the department can
affect the condition of the native population
of Alaska, is a bureau of education which
has the superintendency of schools in that
territory. After a brief review of the condi-
ton of the natives of the territory the sec
retary says he has tran smitted to the Cover
nor of the territory copy of the Senate res
olution and newspaper reports, and as soon
as he forwards the information asked of him
concerning these reports, it will be trans
mitted to the Senate.
