REDUCTION or INDIAN RArroNs.
Argument 70 show That the Proposed Stop
Should Not Be Taken.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April 1s.-Secretary
Noble sent TO the House to-day letter from
the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs submitting
q supplemental estimate of ESQ. 900 required
for the support of the Cheyenne aud Arapa-
hoe Indians of Oklahoma Territory for the
fiscal year ending June 30. 1898
Accompanying the letter is communica-
tion from the commanding officer of Fort
Reno. which states that the proposed reduc-
tion OF ratons at present issued TO these
Indiansls IS especially inOppOrtune at this time,
~ the allotments 10 them are nearly com
pletod. and tho adjacent country will
soon be opened to settlement to
the whites, which, owing to the fact
that nearly all the Cheyennes are discon-
tented with the sale of the surplus lands and
believe It was not authorized by majority
OF their people. will serve as an opening for
friction between the whites and the Indians.
and that everything possible should be done
T. keep the Indians good natured aud friend
ly.
Secretary Noble in his letter says that he
deems this matter OF the very utmost im-
portance. IL appears. he says. ID have been
a serious mistake 10 have made 80 low an es-
innate at first. and If this ad-
ditional amount is not appropriated We
shall have very serious trouble with these
Indians when the want of ratlons Is felt. An
other year. he says. it may be different, but
this year all the ratiOns formerly allowed will
be needed. The amount estimated Tor the
support OF thee Indians during the next
fiscal year was fixed at S65 900 instead OF s125-
OOO heretofore allowed them for the
reason that under their late agreement with
the United States 10000 600 was placed in
the Treasury TO their credit to draw interest
at per cent. the interest. $50 900, to be paid
TO them IN cash per capita.
