Especial COrrespondence.)
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE under
standing arrived at between Senator
Rawlins and Senator Allison is that
the administration viii carry out the
necessary negotiations with the Uintah
Indians for the cession of their lands,
not needed for allotment. This is to
be done without further legislation If
Senator Allison had not made this
pledge Senator Rawlins would not have
dropped his amendment to the Indian
appropriation bill providing for the
cession. The debate in the senate on
this amendment gives the language in
which Senator Allison made this con-
cession. Senator Allison had said: 7
hope the senator from Utah viii not
press this amendment. If the senator
will examine the scope of the pending
appropriation bill, he viii see that we
have provided for additional inspectors
who are to be used in dealing with the
very questions which he suggests in his
amendment, and as the law of 1894 pro-
vides that this may be done at the
proper time. ! have no doubt that the
secretary of the interior VIII order it
to be done as soon as the question Of
the allotments is fairly disposed of in
the Uintah reservation. The senator
IS aware that upon this bill there is
already a provision which authorizes a
certain portion of the Uncompahgre
Dtes to make allotments on this reser-
walton, and when that is done, I can
assure the senator that, without any
additional legislation. the plan he has
In view VIII be carried out so far as
the secretary of the interior can do ii"
Senator Allison added: THE secre-
tary of the interior has the authority
10 initiate proceeding of that kind
at any time when there is a law for it,
which l understand is provided for in
the Indian appropriation act of 1894"
Senator Rawlins said: The law of
1894 authorized and required negotia-
tons 10 be opened with these Indians
for the cession to the United States of
their surplus land. No steps have been
taken thus far to carry into effect that
provision.
Very WELL" answered Mr.. Allison
1.-THE reason for that is because the sur
plus lands have not yet been segre-
gated. and they can not be until allot-
ments are made to the Indians At
this very session we have provided for
alotments to be made not only To
those upon the Uintah reservation but
also allotments to be made on that
reservation for certain Uncompahgre
Utaes who are to go there. So when
the secretary of the interior has so
arranged the allOtments as to enable
him to execute this provision, l am
sure that he will do it without further
legislation"
