Commissioner Morgan sent George w. Par

reservation of the Southern Utes in South
western Colorado to investigate and report
the sentiment Of the Indians with respect to
their proposed removal to Utah. His report
has been received, together with special re-
port by the regular agent, and copies have
been furnished Senator Teller. Both reports
agree that the Indians greatly desire a
change Of location, and Mr.. Parker says
they express both surprise and discomfort at
the failure of the government to carry out
the terms of the agreement made with the
commissioners appointed to negotiate a
transfer to Utah. Mr.. Parker's assertions
that the government would do what was
right in the matter, made at a council Of the
principal men Of the tribes, restored the In-
dians, the report says, to a better frame of
mind than that exhibited at any time for two
months past. The Indians complain at the
failure to receive their bounty money when
due. and when 1t would do them the most
good, and it Is difficult to Induce them to en-
