WASHINGTON. Aug. 2i.-The commits
sioner of Indian affairs will recon-
mend in his next annual report that,
practically, all appropriations for sub
sistence of the Indians be cut off.
Congress now appropriates about ST.
900, 600 for this purpose, but he will
recommend that q much less sum
be appropriated, to be used in cases
where II Is really needed, and under
the control of the commissioner. This
Recommendation, II carried out, will
revolutionize the whole Indian ques-
ton. At present about ss00.000 is ex-
pended annually in feeding Indians,
with the result, In the opinion of
the commissioner. of doing more harm
than good, because II encourages
idleness on the part of the Indians
and removes them that much further
from the point Of civilization, where
they could maintain themselves. The
plan Is to have funds provided. TO ex-
pend on poor Indians and the sick, and
compel the healthy bucks to work for
q living. This can be done with tribes
with whom treaty obligations do not
compel the government to furnish
them q certain amount of pro-
visions II is by no means GER
tain that the recommendation will
be followed by congress, forsppropria-
tions of this sort are urged by con-
tractors, who are after the money. and

allowances for the tribes who have
been supplied with rations The rec.
concentration OF the commissioner will
