Yesterday evening we were
treated to a dust storm, accompa'

the clouds rolled by presenting a

our citizens by ties of friendship and

Is known that the people OF that couu-
try have instituted the same form of
government with our own; and have
since the close of your last session
openly resolved, on the ACKNOWLEDGE
ment by us of their iudepende nee, to
seek admission into the Union as one
OF the federal States. This last cir
cumstances Is a matter of peculiar del
lcacy, and forces upon us considera-
tions OF the gravest character. The
title OF Texas to the territory she
claims Is indenGiiieduwith her indepen-
dence 4; She asks us to acknowledge
That title to the territory, with an
avowed design to the treat Immediate
ly Of its transfer to the United States
1t becomes us to beware of u too early
movement, as it might subject us,
however anjuStly, to the imputation Of
seeking to establish the claim of our
neighbors TO territory with view
TO Its subsequent acquisition by our
selves. Prudence therefore seems to
dictate that we should still stand aloof,
and maintain our present attitude, if
not until Mexico itself or one of the
great foreign powers shall recognize
the independence of the new govern
mcnt, at least until the lapse of time
or the course of events shall have
proved beyond cavil or dispute the
ability OF the people OF that country to
maintain their separate sovereignty,
and to uphold the government consti.
tuted by them. Neither of the con-
tending parties can justly complain of
this course. BY pursuing it, we are
put carrying out the long established
policy of our government-a policy
which has secured to us respect and
influence abroad, and inspired con
idence at home.
Having thus discharged my duty,
by presenting with simplicity and
directncss the views which, after much
reelection, | have been led to take of
this important subject, | have only to
add the expression of my confidence
that, If congress should differ with me
upon it, their judgment will be the
result OF dispassionatc, prudent and
wise dcliboration with the assurance
that, during the short time shall con-
tlnue connected with the government
shall promptly and cordially unite
with you in such measures as may be
deemed best fitted to increase the pros
perity and perpetuate the peace of
our favored country.

CHAPTER XIV.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Twelfth spent its New Years
day hot on tho Indian trail. Into the
foothills it wound, tortuous and full Of
peril, for from every projecting point,
from rock to rock and crest to crest, the
warrior rear guard poured their fire ON
tho advancing line. Charges were fruit
less. The nimblo ponies Of the Indians
bore their riders swiftly out Of harms
way, and only among the charging force
did casualties occur Still, Fonton had
hung like bulldog to his task, hoping
before nightfall to catch up with the
main body and tho moving village, then
to hem It in. Numerically no was lit
tie better Off than tho Indians, rs so
Indians can surround 900 troopers much
moro effectively than 800 troopers can
surround 80 mounted warriors. Through
Bat and others he had vainly strivcn to
communicate with Big Road, to assure
him no harm would be done; that all
that was necessary was for him to re-
turn with his people under escort Of tho
regin ent to the reservation. Up to 4
p. M. not a shot had boen fired by the
Twelfth, even in response to some
times CALLING fusilladc from tho Indians.
BY that timo several men had been un-
horsed and two or three wounded, and
the thing was getting exasperating; yet,
was it worth keeping up, :2- Bat and
other scouts declared the fleeing village
to be less than three miles ahead now,
and, with that ovcrhaulcd, the warriors
could be brought to bay we'll south of
the mountains, and to the accomplish
ment Of this, without sacrificing men or
horses to any great extent, Fenton was
bending every energy when oycrtaken
by the first courier from Frayne.
Wayne had marked tho dispatches in
the order i'll which they should bo read,
but the only ones which much concern
ed him now were from department
headquarters. A new king who knew
not Joseph, new general with whom
Fenton had never chanced to serve, was
there in command, and he, coming
comparative stranger to the community,
knew little Of the merits Of tho politi-
clans by whom he was speedily besieged.
They were present in force, armed with
letters and dispatches by the score from
80 called prominent citizens resident
along the Plato, and Fenton was prac-
tically unrepresonted. 1t was III no spir-
It of unkindness but rather that Fen
ton might have opportunity to come
thither and confront and confound, if
he could, his accusers, that the general
had issued the first order, which was
that Fenton should Immediately escort

Big Road and his people back to the
agency and then report to these head
quarters for consultation. That dis
patch, if delivered, would have ruined
all tho plans Of tho painsmen. and tho
wires were clipped the moment warn
ing came, and 1t never got beyond the old
substation on the Laramie until after the
repairs were made, but other dispatch
es were wired from below the breaks,
alleging first that, so far from Fcnton's
doing rs ordered, he was apparently
bent on driving Big Road's people up
tho river or into the open field, then
that he had done so, and that the In
dians were now raiding the scattered
ranches and driving the cattle into the
foothills, while the settlers were fleeing
in terror. Fenton's dispatches, wired
before Big Roads cscapade, had, Of
course, been received but his report of
the situation was at utter variance with
that from tho agency and those from
the Thorpe party. Gross mismanage-
ment and general incompetcncy were
the principal allegations against Fenton,

forgot to add drunkenness to the list as
one which the public would accept
without question, no being an army
officer, and when the governor himself
was induced to add his complaint to
those Of his enterprising people the
general yielded.
The dispatches sent by courier called
FOR explanation Of tho charges made by
tho agent and civilians, intimated doubt
as to the wisdom of Fenton s course or
the accuracy of his information and
wound up with the significant clause,
"Do nothing to provoke lostilities or
arouse the fears of tho Ifdians," and
here he had been in hot pufuit Of them
all the livelong day.
Stung to the quick, Fenten neverthe-
less pressed vigorously on. Tho result
would justify him, and he could wait
for his vindicatioD until tip campaign
was over. The village at suItlown could
not be moro than three milesaway, said
his scouts. and the energy of Pig Road o
defensive measures was redotbled In
structions to do nothing to prtvoke hos.
tilities were dead letters, nov that hos
tilities had actually been provsked--not
by him or his people, but, between
them, by Big Road and the cowboys.

On Recognizing the Independence
ofthe Republic ofTexas, December
81, 1886.
To the House OF Repre- scntatives, Uni
ted States
During the last session information
was given to congress by the executive
that measures had been taken TO as
Ger tain "the political, military and
civil condition of Texas" | now sub.
NIT, fOr your consideration, extracts
from the report of tn agent who had
been appointed to collect it, relative
to the condition of that country.
No steps have been taken by the eX-
ecutive towards the acknowledgement
OF the independence of Texas and the
whole subject would have been left
without further remark, on the infor-
nation now given to congress, were it
not that the two houses, at their last
session, acting separately, passed reso-
lutions THAT the independence OF
Texas ought to be acknowledged by
the United States whenever satisfac-
tory information should be received
that it had in successful operation q
civil government capable Of perform
ing the duties and fulfilling the obiga-
tiOns OF an Independent power. This
mark Of interest in the question Of the
independence of Texas, and indication
Of the views Of congress, mako it pro-
per that / should, somewhat in detail
present the considerations that have
governed the executive in continuing
to occupy the ground previously taker
In the contest between Mexico anC
Texas.
The acknowledgement of a new state
as independent, and entitled to place
in the family OF nations, is at all times
an act of great delicacY and responsi
