The law which pro vided for the appropriation also provided that they were to' receive only interest upon the samo 'every two years; and. furthermore, stipu lates that the money must be used in the improvements of their lands. Numbering aa they do, some 1100, the amount per capita, allowed by law every two years is too trifline to be off any practical benefit, and the Indians are now desirous of be ing paid the principal. During the council the different ideas con flicted, which resulted in a noisy clatter peculiar to these natives. Some insisted that, in the appor tionment, whether it be interest or principal and interest, the money should bo shared equally by young and old. Agent Harper found it a difficult matter to reason with them and finally effected a tem porary reconciliation by promising to communicate with the senators in Washington and ascertain, for them; what could be done. .
