Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasnrnaton, D. C., Feb, 14—The Com- mittes appointed by the Bonrd of Indian Commissioners to examine into the adminis- tration of the Indian Bureau are hard at work In the performance of thatduty, It is reported that they have already found some faults, und there is no doubt that thesa will be promptly corrected. Xt nppears thot the Committes have discovered that the prejudices of the Jnte Commissioner were go strong that many persons who had business with the office wero treated with great harshness and in- justice, Such persons could not gob thelr bills approved or their accounts adjusted, Within the Inst day or two several claims which have beon pigeon-holed for a year or , tivo, for no apparent reason except that Mr, Hayt did not like the clalmant, have been taken up and adjusted. Mr. Trowbridge, of Michigan, 1s being urged by one member of the Board of Indian Commisaioners for the vacant Commisstonor- ship. The other members of the Board, and others who nro familiar with the subject, think no harm will be done by delaying the appointmont for some time. THE PONCAS, When Bright-Kyes was being examined by tho Senate Committes to-day, a paper, signed by fifty-seven Ponca Chiefs and heads of families, addressed to the “Great Father,” and asking ln a formal manner to bo removed to the Indian Territory, was shown to hor. Tho first signature was that of White-Englo, “Why? sald she, “this Js remarkable. * We never signed any paper of the kind; never in any way signified his wish or willingness to bo removed.” Standing-Bear was questloned in regard to the paper. A sinile of surprised ineredullty stole over his faco asthe document was read _to him, and some. brict but emphatic opln- lons were expressed by hin in ils own dia- lect, When it was concluded, his words were. translated; “ ‘That's the way the white men always do; they say one thing and write another.” Lio was anxious to ex- “pinin his understanding of the document he did sign, Ie sald the Agent returned from Washington, and proposed to them to remove tothe Indian ‘Verritory, Thoy said; “No; If wo move at all wo will go to the Omaha reservation.” ‘The Agent kept urging, and at last they had x counell, and talked the whole matter over, ‘Thoy decided that thoy woul Nor MOVE AT ALL, e and thoy told the Agent so. ‘The Agent there- upon made a paper containing, ns thoy sup- posed, their refusnl to remoye, and thoy tlened. - tr.

It is expected that Kimball, the Agent who secured the removal of the tribe, will be ex- amined to-morrow. | THY UTR PRONLESM took up a food siinra of tho time at the Cabinot meeting to-luy. ‘Tho President sub- \ sallied the propusition inads by the Colorido \ delegation that the settlers in Ouray and other towns lying in the San duan country, Colo- rarto, aro suffering from lack of provisions, and also are in apprehension of an attack by the malcontent Utes, who are th oa. starving condition, ‘The Prealdent favored granting substantial help homediately; but the question ‘to be solved i4, How can soldiers and provisions be got through the mountains at this season of the year?
