ARMY OFFICERS AS AGENTS.
Civilians Not to Be Appointed to Fill
the Vacancies.

Washington, Oct. 22.-While the Indian
officials at one time showed a desire to
appoint civilians as Indian agents in
place of army officers, where army officers
have been relieved, it has now been deter
mined to fill such vacancies with army
officers. The war department has
been asked to designate army
officers to fill vacancies in each
case. During the summer there were
several instances where some dissatis
faction was felt by the army officers who
were assigned to Indian agen ncies, and the
Iudian officials were convinced that the
hest interests of the Indians would be
subserved by having civilians appointed.
This has been changed somewhat by the
return of Secretary Smith, who is well
aware of the opinions entertained by
the President on this subject. The law
Is rather explicit and says that army off,
GERS must be designated unless in the
opinion of the President there should be
a civilian Before a civilian is appointed
II must be plain to the President that
such action is necessary. In cases where
present vacancies exist, it has not been
made apparent that army officers will
not be as good for the service. Several
civilian applications have been made for
the vacancies but all the candidates are
doomed to disappointment
