None to Be Continued After September so
Secretary Foster on the Situation.
Secretary Foster has issued the following
notice with relation to the redemption of the
~ per cent bonds:
Public notice is hereby given to the holders
Of registered and coupon bonds Of the Az per
cent loan acts of July IA, 1870, and January 20,
1871. that the time within which such bonds
will be received for continuance with interest
at 2 per cent per annum will expire on the 30th
day Of September, 1891. Bonds received at the
Treasury Department after that date will be re-
deemed and not continued. Notice is also
given that coupon ~ per cent bonds Will not
be received for payment at the Office of the
United States assistant treasurer at New York
after September 80, 1891, and that thereafter
registered and coupon AZ per cent bonds will
be received for redemption only at the Office of
the Secretary OF the Treasury in the city Of
Washington, DC. The circulars Of August "a
and September 2, 1891, are hereby modified in
accordance with the foregoing provisions"
In an interview Mr.. Foster denies that the
department has had to resort to any extfaordi-
nary means Of saving money to meet these pay
ments. He insists that the treasury has all the
money required to maintain position Of per-
feet ease without adopting policy Of delay or
resorting to any action that is not based on per-
fectly sound principles but he admits that
there is less money in the treasury now than
there has been for many years heretofore.
The tariff legislation OF the last Congress will,
he says, probably effect 4 reduction Of the rev.
enue to the extent OF fifty or sixty millions,
while the liberal appropriations will lust about
consume the revenues. The money paid into
the treasury, the Secretary declares, will flow
out daily, as it ought to, thus leaving all money
not actually needed in the treasury in the
hands Of the people where 1t belongs.

satisfied with the results Of his expedition He
had satisfactorily solved the question of the
existence and grandeur Of the Grand Falls Of

MontaSuals Indians have been found.

On the banks of the Grand river the party

the party were Esqulmaux skeletons found
under plies of rock. Many of the relics buried
with them, togeth with a number of skcle-
tons, were brought back by the party. The
professor made an important collection Of
shells and other specimens OF natural history,
which prove that the present shell fauna u

Der OF those previously known to the scientific

The INDIANS ON THE "OUTLEr."-Gov Steele
Of Oklahoma last night telegraphed Secretary
Noble that Judge Green Of the United States
district court had rendered q decision in the
Cherokee Outlet" case, holding that if the In
dians have ceased to use the land in litigation
as an outlet 1t has reverted to the government.
and the Cherokees can neither leave it nor use
it for homes, farming or any other purpose ex-
cept as passage way. Whether they have act
ually ceased to use the strip for the latter OBJ
ject Judge Green regarded as more Of a politi-
cal than a judicial question, which should be
decided by the President or Congress. This
decision removes the possibility of many
complications which might soon arise between
the Interior Department and several tribes of
Indians occupying lands in Indian territory.
