Gen. Sheridan on the Indian Troubles. HIS REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT—THE LEASES OF INDIAN LANDS THE CAUSE OF DISSATIS FACTION. Gen. Sheridan’s report to the Presidenton the Cheyenne and Arapahoe troubles says that he was told by Agent Dyer that the Arapaboes were well pleased, bnt were led away by the Cheyennes. The agent ignored the existence of leases of Indian lands to white cattlemen, and was determined that the Indians should settle down about the reservation and do something to earn a living. Gen. Sheridan talked with Stone Calf, leader of the disaffected Indians, and found that their ehlef trouble was the leases. With the leaves there came a new population, and vast herds of cattle were grazed from one end to the other of their land, only barred by the fences which di- vided the’ different leases. They complained that their ponies were stolen in large numbers; thelr smnall bapds of eattle absorbed; their small patehes of cultivated ground overrun and de- stroyed, and their efforts to establish home- steads frustrated, The immediate cause of the present dimiculty was the killing of Runnin eee a wna oan eat drove his herd through Running jos place against the Indiau’s protest. “The Cheyennes,” General Sheridan says, “are fine specimens of the wild Indians, and as they still maintain most of their aboriginal cus- toms and a loyalty to the nomadic habits of the uncivilized, nothing could have been more mistaken than an endeavor tocrowd upon them in great succession the customs of civilization. None other than the slowest and most patient processes could succeed with them.” ‘The general further finds that. the Indians have been persuaded, 1f not forced, by a former agent, J. O. Miles, and his employes, to sign away’ their lands ‘or little or nothing, while they fancied that they discovered in’ Agent Dyer’s severe discipline and threats of military. subjugation ap attempt to confine them to a small part of their reservation and turn over the rest on long leases, if not permanently, to stockmen. Through Miles’ influence the Indians signed away, without any realization of what they were doing, leases Of all but 1,178,891 acres of land. Miles appeared as the represen- tative of the Indians. Later anew lease was made covering 714,000 acres more and leavin the Indians but 445,651 acres unleased, an that in the part of the reservation. ‘There was in this instance no council, and, although about the same signatures are at: tached to the lease, there was an universal feel- ing against renting any more land. How the signers were persuaded, If ut all, is not satis factorily explained. From the day this lease ‘went Into eect all classes to realize that their possessions, were very much diminished find that the white man had overreached them. ‘Tuts ground comprised all thelr best. winter grazing and many of their houses. In conclusion the general thinks that there are within the limits of the reservation too many white people who have no lawful busi- ness there. All who are uot owners or em- ployes, or who are not officially connected with the agency or the military post, should be obliged to leave at once. ee ee The President Indignant. HIS CAUSTIC LETTER TO A MAN WHO SIGNED THE APPLICATION O¥ AN UNWORTHY ASPI- KANT FOR OFFICE. A Cincinnati dispatch to the New York Times says that a gentleman who recently signed a petition for the appoinumentof a certain person to a judgeship wrote a private letter to the President after the appointment had been made, expressing his astonishment and and explaining it his endorsement had m giveb merely to get rid of the man's importu- nity, He had no idea that the appointment would be made, and he declared it was a very unfitone. ‘To this letter the President sent the following caustic reply: Maxsrow, Wasuinotox, August 1, 1885.

THE PRESIDENT THINKS PUBLIC INTERESTS ‘MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRIVATE. The representatives of the cattlemen who have leases on the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Teservations called on the President yest-rday and asked for an extension of the time "lowed in the executive order to remove their cattle from the reservations, The delegation consisted of Senator Cockrell and Representative John M. Glover, of Missouri; R. D. Hunter, C. U. Rain water, W. B. Thompson, and H. M: Pollard, of St, Louis; Mayor Moore, Seth Mabrey, C. Ward, T. B. Builenc, and Dr. M. Mumford, of Kansas City; Mr. Torrey. of Providence, R.1.; Col. H. B, Denman, of Washington, and’ G. H. Peck, of a. Wx-Representative Pollard being introduced by Senator Cockrell, read a memorial which recited the value of the interests at stake, and enumerated the difficulties and also the losses to be encountered in carrying out the Presi- pdent’s order. Mayor Moore, Col. Denman and Dr, Mumford made brief speeches, REPLY OF THE PRESIDENT. ‘The President said, “There is one point that seems to escape your attention, that point is before my eye, and it is the public interest. We have lately seen what fear can be created by thirty or forty Indians. Within two hours a letter has come to my desk from the governor of Kansas, urging that the troops on the border of that state should not be withdrawn. The highest officer in the army, one experienced in Indian affairs, reports the situation in the terri- tory, and says that the cause of the irritation is the presence of the cattlemen. A section of this country containing four and a quarter million of ucres was set apart for the Indians, Only one-tenth, 400,000 acres, is left, They are crowded down to the agencies. Some of this may have been secured with the consent of the Indians, It is apparent to me, as it 1s to that this state of affairs cannot continue, interests are in conflict. Which shall give way? ‘On the one side we have public peace, public security,and the safety of lives. On the otherside are your Interests. The former, gentiemen,must be considered, though private’ Interests suffer, The question of putting off the removal until next spring is inadmissible. The order cannot be modified, I want to see sume diligence in complying with the order. ‘Twelve days have past. Precious time is lost. An etfort was made after the order was issued to socure an extension of time. A dispatch was sent, sayin; in the most positive terms that the order coul not be moditied, Here you are, after twelve days have passed, If any indulgence is shown it must be an application in specitic cases, with evidence that an effort has been made to com- ply with the order. If your interests led you out of the territory Instead of in, I cannot help but tink you would find some Way out in the specified time. I wish you woul rate and take hold, and try t get the cattle off. No argument will induce me to change what bas been done. Some loss and inconvenience will no doubt follow, bat oon than yours which must recetve attention.” ‘The de then withdrew, and ail the Tmembers ft the vity om the evening train. ‘They were much disappointed at the result of thelr interview. +2 —__ Anu Impatient Claimant.

FAILURE TO MAKE A POOLING AGREEMENT. GALVESTON, TEX., August 5.—The conferenee of railroad managers and general freight agents, which was in session here several days, has adjourned sine die, without reaching « Pooling arrangement. It was thought, up to the last moment, that an arrangement would be effected, as the pool had been christcned the “Texas Traffic Association” and a commis- sioner chosen. Excellent progress was made in arranging rates and agreeing upon details. The question upon which the conference spilt re- lated to the length of time for which the pool- ing agreement should continue. Fi was fixed upon by a majority of th represented, but the directory of the Gull, Colo- rado and Santa Fe road, at a meeting last night, determined to enter the pool for no lon- ger_a period than one year, with the under- standing that if the relationship proved satis- factory at the end of the year they would renew the arrangement for a longer period. This deci- sion, when announced to the conference, re- sulted in an almost immediate final adjourn- ment, the other members being unwilling to enter'an arrangement for a short period. This relegates the entire matter back to the pres! dents, Messrs. Gould, tluntington and Seale who called the conference. Ata meeting of thé Santa Fe directors it was determined that President Sealey should proceed to New York at once and consult with Messrs. Gould and Huntington, with a view of reviving negotia- tons looking to the pooling of Texas business, The break-up was a general surprise, even to many members of the conference.
