General Morgan says the Red Men Won't
Permit Their Children to Attend School.
Special the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-Indian Commits
sioner Morgan has sent to the Secretary of
the Interior letter in which he states that
a crisis has been reached in the war carried
on by the Indian Office in tho education of
Indian children. He says the Office is help
less to enforce the regulations made In ac-
cordance with the act of 1890, which re-
quires the attendance of Indian children at
the school provided by tho government for
their education, and that he lays the facts
in the case before the Secretary for bis in
formation. General Morgan gives the de-
tails of several recent cases in which the
authority of the government as repre-
sented by the Indian agents has been
openly deied. The agent who entered
the Navajo country to procure children for
schools were assaulted and compelled to
his mission. The chief OF Indian police re-
fused to obey the order of the agent when
directed TO bring in children and his action
was approved by many Of the Indians of
that tribe. The Commissioners cites other
similar cases and goes on to say that tho
opposition and hostility of the Indians to
the effort made By the government to i'm
prove the condition OF the children
above that of the parents BY making them
industrious. lsw-soiding citizens. 10 en-

reason to believe that the ex-Secretary's
death may occur at any day.
