TRANSFER OF MILITARY HEADoUARTERs.
Members of the Kansas Congressional
delegation held conference With Secre-
tray Proctor today in regard to the pro.
posed transfer of the headquarters of the
Department of the Missouri from Leav-
enworth to st. Louis, and the Secretary
consented to defer action q few days.

that it is regarded undesirable to have
the department headquarters and the
post headquarters at the same place.

also the transfer of the headquarters
from Vancouver Barracks to Portland,
Oregon, but there is no likelihood of an
immediate change.

temporary confinement. This action has
been taken for it's supposed moral ef-
feet, both upon the renegades and those
at the agency. 1t is the intention of the
Indian Bureau to place at some Indian
