Ds IN SEVERALTY FOR SOME; THE OTHERS ‘TO BE ASSEMBLED ON ONE RESERVATION. In his report upon the work ofthe special In- ian committee who visited the various reser- vations during the summer recess of Congress’ Mr, Holman is going to recommend the @ppointment of a commission to take the matter in charge, giving land in severalty to such of the Indians as are far enough advanced in civilization to warrant auch action, and assembling the rest in one locality as far as practicable. At present he says the reservations are scattered all over the country, and their lands are useless to the Indians in ‘many cases, Some of these lands should be sold In their Interest, and such of the Indians as are friendly should ‘be pnt upon the same reservation in certain cases and kept there until ultimately they bave reached that state of elvilization that would warrant thelr having lands in severalty and becoming citl- zens. ‘I'here are some cases where It would not do to move the Indians from their present locality or to interfere with them, as their attachment to their homes is ver In most such cases land in severalty should be given them, SENATOR DAWES TALKS TO THE CAMBRIDGE INDIAN RIGHTS ASSOCIATION. Senator Dawes delivered an address last evening in Sanders’ theater, Catnbridge, Mass., before the Cambridge Indian Rights associa- tion on the Indian question, He first spoke of the gravity of the problem, there being to-day 300,000 Indians who are to all purposes as un- civilized as they were 250 years ago. A arisis, he said, has now come, however, in the life of the Indian. The solution of the problem is to come in these days near at hand. He is losing the last acre of his heritage. He can no longer retreat from the advance of civilization, ‘e must elther support him in idleness or else de- vise some way to make him a part of us, and absorb him into our body pollute. As we cal- not exterminate him, we must make some Unlng of him, "It is easier to show bow this can not be done than how it can be done, ‘The speaker then traced briefly the various plans which the government had adopted in treating with the Indians, first as sovercign na- Uions, then giving them ‘the Indian country, then trying to alienate them entirely, and finally establishing them on tho reservations, The bill now beiore the Senate, said he, em- bodies the true principle, which lige at the basis of the solution of the Indian problem, the prin- clpal of individuality. ‘There are so many di! ferent tribesof Indians, ving in such a diver sity of climate and surroundings, that no gen- eral law can belaid down. Each tribe must be treated according to existing circumstances, and, above all, they must be educated. ‘The good results of the educational experiments which have been tried were pointed out, and also the need of extending this work much farther, In this labor the Indians’ Rights aso- sociations, which are scattered all over the country, Have been very prominent, and have thus done good work in helping to solve the Indian problem. The President's Good Right Arm. IT GOES THROUGH THE PUMP-HANDLE MOTION 448 TIMES WITHOUT FALTERING. The President's courage must have failed him when he entered the east room at quarter of two o'clock to-day and faced five hundred peo- ple crowded together, ready to make an attack &8soon as he put in an appearance. The at- tendance this afternoon was much larger than at any of the President's receptions held ‘since inauguration. Many of those present had compassion for the President and decided to forego the pleasure of Hing ta his hund, Four hundred and forty-eight, however, passed _be- tween the ushers and received » learty band shake, The largest previous number was 240, “The President entered upon his work in earnest and did not falter once in the pump-handle motion of his right arm, and the last arrival received as hearty a shake as the first, He disposed of the four hundred and forty-eight in sixteen minutes, averaging sixteen “shakes a minute. One ot the last callers, a lady, said that if she hadn’t been so anxious tosee him she would not bave imposed upon him, tor he must be tired out, Tne President replied pleasantly: “Oh, no, this Is the easiest time I have during the day.” Qne gentieman shook hands impressively with one of the ushers, thinking he was the President.

Dickinson to convince the President that the charges against Judge Powers, of Utah Territory, are instigated by the Mormons Is “a desperate effort to manufacture public senti- ment in bis behalf.” ‘The truth ts, he says, that grave charges against Powers, made by proml- nent citizens of Michigan, have been for some time in the possession of the President, and are being Investigated by him. It is asserted that certain indorsements of Powers were procured by mlsrepresentation, and that the Pres} lent, as well a8 Dickinson, was Imposed on, ‘Thé statement of the latter in a recent Detroit Free Press interview, that the President would not only send in Powers’ name after the recess, but work for his confirmation, is regarded as rather acheeky assertion, Ixgury To Prve TREES.—Judge Stockslager, the assistant commissioner of the General Land office, in reply to a letter transmitted through Senator George from a person living in Mississip- 1, in which he states that the‘boxing of trees for ntine pur is of damage to the land cannot be done by settlers unless they have & patent to the lar i ‘Mr. Mortox Goss To WoRk.—Mr, Morton, the colored man trom Arkansas, who recently obtained a position in the Post Office depart- ment through the civil service commission, it being supposed that he wasa white man, was ‘assigned to duty this morning In the briefing division of the First Assistant's office, which is fe ioe a ine) Cerio Geka una No Attempt at Extortion.
