REcoMMESDs AN INVESTIGATION.
Washington, D. c., July 3D.
Special Agent Zsvely of the Inte-
rior Department has just returned
from the Indian Territory where
he has been making thorough
Investigation of the warrants is
sued BY the various tribes, and the
friction which has arisen in the
Choctaw nation over the exporta-
tion of hay from the ration with
out the payments of the tax i'm
posed by the tribe. Mr.. Zevely
reports an extremely. bad condition
in connection with the tribal war
rants, particularly those issued by
the Cherokees. The last session
of congress appropriated s75, 700
for the payment OF outstanding
Cherokee warrants. According to
the law those are liquidated ac-
cording to date of priority. Mr..
Zevely reports that when be visit
ed the Office at Tahlequah he
found several thousand dollars
worth OF warrants which had been
redeemed laying loose upon the
floor which had not been cancelled.
Some of them had written on an
obscure corner in a small hand the
word paid" but the large major
ity of them had no mark whatever
indicating their collection. Mr..
Zevely believes that many of the
warrants which have been paid off
are again in the hands of the out
side parties, and has recommended
the suspension Of further pay
ments, either by the department
or by congress until full and
complete inv estigation can be
made.
