The Indians Exonerated by General Cop- pinger, Commander of the Expedition. | Washington, Sept. 3.-General Coppin-
 ger, who had command of the recent l military expedition to the Jackson's Hole country, is in the city and to-day
 mont, to which Commissioner of Indian
 Affairs Browning was invited.
 T do not consider that the Indians were to blame for the Jackson's Hole affair."" said General Coppinger at the close of the conference. They are en- tirely quiet now and have been"
 | One matter of interest which General | Coppinger brought to the attention of Secretary Lamont and Commissioner Browning was the advisability of an- nexing the Jackson's Hole country to the Yellowstone National park. He suggested that this action would solve | the problem by preventing all parties 1 hunting and fishing in that section. As l the country was not densely settled he thought there would be comparatively little difficulty in making the change. Commissioner Browning, replying to | the suggestion, said that in the first place it would be a matter for Secretary Smith and then for congress, adding that he did not know how the people of Wyoming would regard it, as it would deprive that state of territory which it may not desire to lose.
 General Coppinger had his report on the Indian trouble with him and it was
 gone over thoroughly. The report has been turned over to Secretary Lamont and he is not prepared to give it out. The general in reply to question said that the report was brief. He declined to say whether he made any recom- mendations for the continuance of troops in the Jackson's Hole country or for the punishment of those who had precipitated the trouble.
