Mlles's staff, who has been official visit at the
Indian agencies in the Sioux reservation, returned to
Army Headquarters yesterday after absence Of
three weeks. Captain Higgins visited the Fort Ben
nett and Cheyenne River agencies and the subagences
along the Cheyenne River Il found that the Indians
arc abandoning their war-pant and blankets" said
Captain Higgins, but crops have been almost total
failures the last three years. caused by the drouth and
the consequence is that those Indians who attempted
TO farm arc almost altogether dependent upon
what the Government furnishes them for subsistence.
Many have returned to their old ways Of digging Wild
turnips, a few get little game and furs. and an oc-
cnsonal pony is sold found many farms which both
Indians and whites had attempted to work deserted and
the owners gone away In disgust This year the crops
i'm the D0as are very fair but the Indians live mostly
in a region that is cursed with drouth.'

South grows out of the fact that the railroad com
panies object to being Obliged to fumgate and dsin-
feet their cattle cars aneI each shipment from the
South to the North" said the secretary Of Agriculture
J. NJ Rlsk, today The Secretary referred to dis
patch from Nashville to the effect that Tennessee
cattle growers are incensed against order of the
Secretary declaring quarantine against Tennessee
cattle and that the order was considered blow
at the agricultural interests Of the South No new
order has been made" continued the Secretary There
has been no change In the regulations established two
years ago. At that time rule was made that all
cattle raised below certain line should be stopped
for quarantine before entering states where spenetic
fever did not exist. The Quarantined district really
Included only certain portions of Texas and no COM
plant has been heard from that district. Tennessee
is not within the infected territory. There Is nothing
In the cattle quarantine laws that Is applicable to
Tennessee more than to Illinois or Nebraska. New
York or Massachusetts, Native cattle are not in
cluded in the quarantine regulations. There is no
idea or purpose of commercial warfare against the
South The matter is stirred up by the railroads be-
cause they have extra trouble in keeping their cars
clean so that contagiOn may not spread. Instead OF
killing the cattle trade alleged, IL has fOstered and
encouraged il. Before the new law 10 per cent OF
