Regulations Recently Adopted Make
1t Satisfactory to Officers.
The engineers of the army experienced
some trouble and made several complaints
concerning the extension of the civil SER
vice to the employees on public works un-
der their charge. The new regulations oc-
casioned considerable correspondence, which
was finally transmitted to Congress,
where the complaints were lodged by the
army officers. The regulations have since
been SO arranged that the engineers now
say the civil service extension will work IN
a most satisfactory manner. The right OF
selection of men from any branch Of the
classified service has been extended 80 that
the officers can investigate and inform
themselves of the qualifications of clerks
which are needed In their service
There was some apprehension also ex-
pressed by paymasters who would not feel
like accepting any men who might be fur
nished them for the confidential and re-
sponsible positions which such clerks occu-
py. The paymasters In the army can Sc
lect clerks from any portion Of the classi-

INDIANS HAVE GRIEVANCES
Statement Presented to the Commissioner by
the Chippewa Delegates.
Claim That Pledges Have Been
ing Upon Their Reservation.

Gus Beaulieu and William Richards OF
the Mile Lac Chippewa Indian delegation,
which called on the Indian commissioner
yesterday submitted the following letter
which they received from the Mile Lac
reservation. The letter is self-explanatory:
Notices in writing have been given to
some of the Mile Lac Indians at this res
ervation by persons who say they Were
sent here by the government to do SO.
These notices are to vacate the lands OF
the reservation.
Further depredations have been COM
mitted against some of the Indians since
you left by the destruction of their fences
and the cattle of the white settlers on this
reservation are destroying our gardens:
Andrew Bird and Sergeant say that
Gus Beaulieu can accomplish nothing IN
our behalf and that your appeal 10 the
Secretary of the Interior, copies OF which
Won sent US, will not be noticed by the
government.
The letter was handed TO the Indian COM
missioner, called in the Chippewa tongue
Ain-dus-o-keshig.
The Formal Statement.
The signed statement presented to the
commissioner by the delegation was as
follows:
extent of our instructions as the delegates
of the Mile Lac band, we deem 1t expe-
dent to submit the following propositions
looking to the settlement of the Mile Lac
questions:
''First-It is the wish of the Mile Lac
band of Chippewa Indians. expressed in
council, that the unpatented lands of the
Mile Lac reservation, amounting to sew
eral thousand acres, be allotted to the
"Second-The said Mile Lac bands desire
legislative action by Congress, setting aside
a tract of land upon the Mile Lac reserva-
ticn. containing at least four sections OF
land. with frontage upon Mile Lac lake.
which may be used as permanent home
for said Indians, etc, be allotted to them
in small tracts; also that tract may be
set aside for a cemetery, SO that the bodies
of the dead Mile Lac Indians may be REIN
tered there.
Made Certain Promises.
Third. The Chippewa commission which
negotiated with the Mile Lac Chippewas
for their assent to the act of January ii.
1880, made certain promises to the effect
that there would be placed upon the Mile
Lac reservation a blacksmith, carpenter
and farmer. We ask for the fulfillment
of their pledges. and more especially that
a physician be placed upon the reservation.
In making the foregoing propositions
relative to the settlement of the land Ques-
tions of the reservation, we have not lost
sight of our rights in equity to the lands
and improvements from which we have
been driven by white settlers"
careful investigation of the treaties
effected with the Chippewas will have to be
made before any action is taken by the
Congress to legislate in regard to the mat
ter.

Up Tickets Every where.
Ex-Secretary Carlisle. who is i'm the city,
says he will not be able to make speeches
this fall in all the states in which reports
have accredited him. He would like to do
so, he says, but his law practice will not
permit. He intends to make at least one
speech in Kentucky in favor of the gold
democratic state and county tickets. He
is receiving requests from many directions
for speeches, but SO far has not been able
to accept any of them.
The ex-Secretary says he is in favor of
the gold democrats putting up tickets in
every state in which an election is to be
held this fall, no matter If they poll mere
handfuls of votes. He is as uncompromis-
ing in his views as the silver democrats and
speaks plainly on the subject of the gold
men maintaining their organizations and
their principles.

not served on the leaders the operators will
hardly try serving it on the subordinate
egitators and miners.
