DON'T WANT LANDS DIVIDED.

Allotment of Ute and UncOmpahEre
Reservation Fails of Approval.
SALT LAKE, Utah, September ga
special to the Tribune from Ouray agency,
Utah, says:
The alloting commissioners for the Ute
and Uncompahgfe Indians held council
with the Indians here yesterday. Capt.
Beck, the Indian agent, introduced the
commissioners to the Indians, and stated
the object of their visit Chief Red Moon
said he did not want the land cut up and
fenced, but wanted it to remain a reserva-
ton. Chairman Jeffries explained the OBJ
ject of the allotment and what the results
would be.
Chief SADLY refused to believe that the
commissioners came from Washington; he
had often been deceived by smooth-tongued
whites, he said.
Chief Chavenaux moved that the council
be closed until such time as he could have
his own followers assist, which was done.
Chayenaux saw clearly the futility of at
tempting to control the meeting, and his
motion to adjourn was well timed to pre-
vent the spread of incendiarism among his
people.

1t has sometimes been said that there

The Holy Roman Church within recent
times has promulgated in this regard the
law of liberty by sending a message from

may speak and practice their religious
duties in the language they may choose

Dissatisfaction In the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing.
TIE Treasury Department has issued an
order preventing the payment hereafter OF
additional compensation for extra work in
the bureau of engraving and printing, and
there Is considerable dissatisfaction among
the employees affected. 1t Is said that these
employees will make a test case SO soen as
they get chance. -
+ Treasury auditors have long protested
against paying this extra remuneration,
but Chief johnson has succeeded in hav-
ing 1t done. believing that the Secretary
has the power to pay for the work, and
that it was proper to do so:
When the new administration came in
Assistant Secretary Vanderiip looked into
the question of extra pay for additional
work and came to the conclusion that it
was in violation of the laws. He did not
believe. it is stated, that any department
has the right to establish what might be
called a sliding scale of salaries. chang
ing every month accsrdlng to the extra
time an employee may have put in. The
employees could n.t be paid under the head
of extra time" and tilat caused mans
salary to vary each month, instead Of re.
naming at fixed figure.
Mr.. Vanderlip says that II is not the
policy OF the treasury to force employees
to work extra time, although q great many
CT them do SO without complaint. He in
tends to try to arrange. matters SO that
little extra time Will have TO be put in. He
thinks that the money paid out in extra
time could just as web got to new employees,
and takes the position that IL there is too
much work for the employees now there
additional men ought to be put in. He Is
now engaged in looking into the matter.
He says that work is plentiful in the
bureau. His opposition ito the past plan
Is on the ground that IL n an evasion of
the law. witch does apt contemplate any
thing but f4ed salare8

sUPT. MAYS REINsrArED.
Important Change in the New Yorl
Post Office.

Post Office.
An order was issued at the Post Office
Department today reinstating A. B. Mays
as superintendent of mails in New York
and reducing Thomas J. Clarke, the pres
ent superintendent, to the position of as
slstant cashier in the New York office
The change is one which probably will at
tract conside rable attention in New York.
Mays is said to be a republican and
Clarke a Tammany democrat. After being
in the employ of the post Office for thirty
two years and acting as superintendent for
six years of that time, Mr. Mays resigned
three years ago while undergoing an in
vcstigation, which he claimed was a po-
litical persecution. Mr.. Clarke was ap-
pointed to succeed him.
1t is stated at the Post Office Department
that the change Is the result of a recon-
mendation made by the department COM
mission, which was recently sent to New
York by Postmaster General Gary to in
vestigate that office. The commission
praised Mr.. Mays work so highly that The
Postmaster General determined to rein
state him as one means of improving the
service in that city.

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT NEE
Secretary Wilson VIII Ask for In
creased ApprOpriatiOns.


creased Appropriations.
Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural De-
partmcnt will In his annual report ask
Congress to make material increase in
the appropriation for at least three
branches of the work of his department.
These are the bureau of animal industry,
the farmers bulletins and the weather bu-
reau.
The Secretary says the facilities of the
bureau of animal industry for the inspec-
ton of meat intended for foreign shipment
are overtaxed, and that the experiment al
ready made by the bureau in the shipment
Of butter to England should be followed
up by more work in this line. He claims
that the shipments already made have pro-
duced excellent results. as shown by the
fact that a representative of English firms
has recently been in Iowa buying up all
the available butter supply for export
There is a constantly increasing demand
for the farmers bulletins, and II is the Sec
retary's purpose. If he secures the neces-
sary funds, not only to increase the circu-
lation of the documents, but TO largely in
crease the range of subjects covered.
Mr.. Wilson thinks there should be sew
eral new weather stations, and is also OF
the opinion that the forecast work can,
with an increase of money devoted to that
purpose, be made more serviceabie to the
country at large.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, September 90
c. p. Huntington, president of the South
ern Pacific. has only retired temporarily
from the directorate of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company. and will return to his
former position, probably at the annual
election. So, too, will Isaac T. Gates, who
resigned dictatorship and vice presidency
of the Central Pacific. The authority for
these statements is w. H. Mills, second
vice president of the Central Pacific, who
states that the temporary designations
were caused by Mr.. Gates absence in
Europe and Mr.. Huntington's summer trip
to London.
Mr.. Mills stated that the absence from
the United States of these two direct )rs,
and Mr.. Bretherton, who is resident of
London, left the board without a quorum
in this country, and so the designations
were offered and temporary election of
substitutes followed. Mr., Mills says the
designations took place July 13 and were
not announced because of their temporary
character.
