Washington. Sept. 25.-There are
now pending in the interior depart
ment a number of cases where some
officials having been serving as Indian
agents, whose applications are on file
asking to be relived from their present
positions. There are any number OF
men who are ready and anxious 10
take their places. IT is probable that
upon the return of Secretary Smith a
number Of cases will be prepared and
sent to the president naming civilians
in place of army officers. There are
however. many applications on file by
army officers who seek to be appointed
Indian agents. 1t is probable that
some Of these may be selected. The
claim Is made that the Indian service.
taken rs n whole. Is neither improved
nor injured by the appointment Of
army officers as Indian agents. In
some instances the work has been
performed better by army officers and
in others not as well. 1t depending
upon the character of the men and not
on his military or civil life. The i'm
precision has gained ground In official
circles that upon the whole the expert
ment has not proved success AMI
both interior and war departments
would prefer to have other arrange
ments. and that the Indians them
selves would be fully as well satis-
fed with civilians.
1.-The Indians are no longer warlike,"
said an officer of the interior depart
ment, "and we control them by civil
as well as by military agents. To

is extremely distasteful, while others
