fairs. in hls annual report TO the Sec
retary of the Interior, says that, with
no outbreak or distur bance during the
year, the progress of Indians gener-
ally hes been uninterrupted and sub
stantial. The main effort now is to
put the Indian upon his allotment,
teach him to support himself there,
protect him from encroachment and
injustice and educate and teach his
children in books and industries. As
first step so far as treaty obligations to
notilterfere by requiring the payment
of moneys and issuance of rations OF
annuities the Indians are given to
understand that the government will
not feed anu clothe them while they
remain in idleuess. Such funds as
are available for the purpose are de-
voted to starting Indians in homes.
II an Indian will go upon an allot-
ment aud work tc improve IL, the
government will assist him IN build
ing house and putting his farm
in operation and in making him
self q practical farmer. To reg
ular Indian employees the government
paid last year 100000 A great di.
versity of crafts aud industries are
the growth Of the advanced civiliza-
ton. The reports from Indian agents
show that Indians are coming to earn
their living. They have supplies for
the government, raise crops to sell,
raise and sell live stock, work in the
woods and on irrigation bitches and
in many other ways contribute to
their own subsistence.
The commissioner urges the passage
Of the bill now pending in Congress- to
prohibit the sale Of liquor TO Indians
who have become citizens.
The chapters in which the people in
Kansas and the Indian territory will
take interest are those relating to the
litigation Of the Cherokee freedmen,
Delawares and Shawnees for part Of
the Cherokee outlet fund and those
relating to what has been accom-.
| plished in the settlement of the in
truder question. 1t appears that as a
result the freedmen nave been award
| ed S9J3, pa, the Delawares sos, ,2Gj
and the Shawnees Sl6s, Goa, a total OF
81, 277, 23L This sum being deducted
! from the funds held for the Cherokees
left SiSi ,750, and that has been paid.
In the chapter relating to the in
| truders, their general claims to citi-
| zenship are rehearsed, the laws and
treaties applicable to them are re-
| cited and 1t is admitted that the
United States is bound to remove
them but it IS declared that the Uni
ted States is not bound to regard sim
| ply the Cherokee law and it's construc-
! tion 10y the council Of the nation, bat
that any department required 10 re-
move alleged iutruder- must determine
! for itself under the general law of the
! land the existence and extent Of the
! eXigency upon which such requisition
is founded. An the difficulties raised
! by this question in the development
of its several phases are rehearsed In
detail and then the agreement Of
1901 IS given. Under that n commits
sion appraised the improvements of
the intruders thereof, TO be removed
after January l OF this year. The
Cherokees promptly made tender OF
the full sum of the appraisal and de.
manded the removal OF ., 8js families,
mum bering S,526 persons. Some OF
the intruders accepted and some re-
fused, but before executive action
was taken Congress recommended the
whole of the subject to the Dawes
commission and there it languished.
