SECRETARY KIRK WOOD ON THE INDIAN QUESTION.— In the forthcoming annual report of the Secretary of the Interlor much space is devoted to the dis- cussion of the “Indian question,” In the course of Witch Secretary Kirkwood strongly recommends that liberal provision be made by Congress for teaching the Indian youth our language; that upon Just terms to the Indians the number and area of the existing reservations be greatly reduced; that on such reservations as are not well adapted to farming Without irrigation efforts be made to teach the Indians to become herdsmen instead of endeav- oring to try to make them farmers; that the In- dians’ titiés to the reduced reser ns be individ- ualized und thoroughly protected by laws, and that the more civilized reservation Indians be en- couraged to abandon their trial re s ting up experimental forms of local government among them as neatly alike as may be to the Sys- tem of county government prevailing in the states or territories in which the reservations are respec- Uvely located. ry Set ‘Mx.

He thinks that the Baltimore authorities would be lad to avail themselves of a refuge station at ampton Roads to which they may send infected vessels. He says it might also be desirable to es- tablish such a ‘station at the Delaware Break- water, for the protection of Wilmington and Phila- delphfa.
