ton of Francis E. Leupp as commits
sioner of Indian affairs, which has

Mr.. Leupp has wanted to retire for

ignation to-day was the direct result
of letter written by him to the
president on June 8 in which he said
In part:
Three months ago, when at your
personal request 1 withdrew my resig-
nation, / did so in good faith, believ-
ing that should find it practicable to
continue my work as commissioner of
Tod still. The experiment has not
proved success. Very much to my
regret, therefore, / shall have to ask
you to relieve me from my promise,
and let me carry out my original plan
of resigning my commission SO that
can spend the whole coming season
In the mountain country unweighted
with the anxieties which heretofore
have proved fatal to my every attempt
ut a real vacation"
In accepting the resignation, the
president wrote to Mr.. Leupp as fol-
lows:
"My Dear Mr.. Leupp: Secretary
Ballinger has handed me your letter
of resignation as commissioner of In
dian affairs. In accepting your resig-
nation wish to express my apprecia-
ton of your indefatigable labors in ad-
vancing the interests of the Indian
service and my regret that the condi-
ton of your health impels you to with.
draw from further active connection
Herewith.
4. "Isincerely trust that your relieffrom
the responsibilities of this position
will fully enable you to regain your
health, and with the kindest regards
and best wishes, am, very sincerely
yours,
