GEOEGIANs As INDIAN AGENTS.


WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 5.--There Will
be another contest in the senate over the
confirmation Of Thomas. appointed from
an Eastern state as Indian agent in the
West. During the special session of con-
gress there was a protracted fight in the
senate against the confirmation OF this
class OF appointments. not because there
was any objection to the men personally.
bat because the principle was opposed.
The fight this time will open with an
Oregon appointment, and both Dolph and
Mitchell have said they intend to object to
sending appointees from the East and
South into their state. Ii is believed all
the Western men will support them. 1t
is claimed bv those who support the ad-
ministration in the matter that Indian
agents are not state appointments; that
Indian agencies are purely under Federal
control. and that the appointees can be
sent from any section of the country to
govern agencies.

That Drink Responsible for Much Trouble
An the indian Terrttory.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The last re-
port of Indian Agent Window, made
to the Indian Office before Agent Wis
dom took charge at Muskogee. Ind.
Ter, throws considerable light upon
the conditions ia the territory
which have resulted iu troubles such
the reign Of terror caused
by bands of robbers and marauders.
lie points out IN the first place the
necessity of the enlargement of the
courts in the Indian territory, saying:
since the act Of March /, 1889. estab-
fishing a federal court in the India
territory, there has been no special
legislation by congress extending its
Jurisdiction or increasing the num-
Der Of judges"
As one Of the evils to be eradicated,
Mr.. Window points out land grabbing
The Indian IS satisfied with small
tract Of land, but those who have in
termarried with Indian women have
fenced IN and appOrtiOned to their
use thousands of acres The land IS
held in common He says. THE IN
dams are reluctant to break up tribal
relations and to assume the status of
United States citizens with the at
tending responsibilities- If am not
mistaken. however. the cOncensus of
opinion among the Indians is that
some change as 1nevlta Die, and that IN
the near future"
Mr.. Window has something to say
about a beverage known as '-ChOctaw
beer" He says: ''Choctaw beer=a
drink compounded of barley. hops, to-
bacco. fish berries and a small amount
of alcOhOl--is manufactured without
stint in many portions Of the agency
1t is certain that its sale is a fruitful
source of evil, disorder and crime"
He advises legisl alton for the sup
preston of the trafic.

Novemb Der grand jury met yesterday,
Judge Edmunds of the criminal court
delivered his charge. in which he
especially directed the attention Of
that body to the allegations Of
bribery and wholesale frauds,
which, it was publicly as
serted, were committed during the
recent election. The charges
allege that there have been violations
Of law in the fraudulent registration
of alleged voters; striking off the
names of registered and qualified
voters, and in the appointment Of
judges and cler Ks; that the judges
and clerks in various precincts re-
ceived fraudulent votes, rejected
legal votes and made false and fraud
ulent returns of the votes cast; that
voters were guilty OF repeating,
intimidating and other frauds, and
that candidates for Office were guilty

NO UNPLEASANTNESS'

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15--The atten-
ton of the president was Ned yes
terday to the statement contained in
certain newspapers to the effect there
had been a disagreement between
him and Mr. Carlisle in regard to the
issue of bonds and other matters and
intimating such disagreement
might result in the secre tary's retire
ment from the cabinet
The president emphatically denied
the entire batch of silly misstate-
associa ton together has there been
the Sigh test unpleasantness or differ
ence Concerning the affairs of the
treasury department or any other
matter. / have every reason to be-
lieve his attachment to me is
as sincere and great as mine is for
him. 1 should be much afflicted if any
thing should cause him to enter
tain the thought OF giving up
his position where he is doing SO much
for his country We have agreed ex-
actly as to the issue of bonds and
his part on that subject. I see it is
said am formulating a financial
scheme If such a scheme is pre-
scented it viii be the work of the sec
rotary Of the treasury and shall in
dOrse and support it
The trouble seems to be that
those charged with the executive
duties of the government do not APP
pear willing at all times to take coun-
sci with the newspapers and make
pu bile all they intend to do
There IS noting sensational in the
statement that Assistant Secretary
Hamlin has been designated by the
president to act for the coming SIX
months as secre tary of the treasury
during the absence of Secretary Car
Isle from the department. The
designation of Mr. Hamlin to act
as secretary is a continuation of
a custom which has prevailed in the
treasury department ever since Mr..
Carlisle has been secre tary- Each of
the three assistants serve in this
capacity for half a year in rotation
and the acting secretary signs
all papers Of a routine character,
thus relieving the secretary from
this enormous duty, the Off
cial designation is necessary
under the law which requires
certain specified papers shall be
signed by the secre tary or an acting
secre tary- The secre tarv does not
conte mplate leaving Was hington. but
much Of his time for the next two
weeks IL be devoted to the prepare
ton of his annual report.
