So many conflicting reports have got into circulation regarding my plans after the fourth of March that I have been fairly deluged with friendly inquiries. To set these at rest, I seize this oppor tunity of saying that I have never before authorized any publication whatever concerning mT retirement from office, nor do I know positively from what source they.sprang, though I have dis cussed with a few intimates the possi bilities of the future. On the fourth of March I tendered my resignation of the Commissionership of Indian Affairs, but I have been requested to remain, and under such conditions as to. leave no question of my duty while my health permits. Wheal the time comes for me to retire. I sincerely trust that the whole Service, who number among them some of the ' staunchest, most loyal and most deserv , ing persons I have ever seen in public life, will give to my successor the same willing help, in season and out, that they have given me.
