A LETTER TO 3ECBKTAUV KIRKWOOD BY
JN ZNT1IOSUST IN TIIE PROJECT.
WASHINQTON , April 25 1 a. m.
The attention of the interior depart
ment having beoncalled'to the mag
nitude of the movement led by J.
Milton Tutner , late minister to Sibe
ria , which contemplates occupation and
settlement of a largo portion of Indian
territory by the Freedman's Oklahoma
association. Tuiuer , on behalf of the
organizitlon , addressed Secretary
Kirkwood yesterday the following
communication by telegraph from St.
Liulp , which the Post will to-day
publish :
So-retiry J. S. Ktrkwood , WashlUR'.oii , D. G. :
Sm In a purported Interview with
you , which wai published in the Chicago
cage Tribune on Tuesday last , you are
made BO say , among other things , that
this Oklahoma project hrs the appear
ance of a revival of the illegal Okla
homa movements of recent years in a
new form. In this you are utterly
mistaken , You are made further te
say that you are not yet prepared testate
state that it is fraudulently conceived.
8I 8E to-day's general dispatches , as
published here , you are represented
aa referring to the treaty aa made by
the United States with the Creek and
Samlnole Indiana in 1866 , but no
mention Is made therein of the
treaties with the Chickasaws and
Choctaws , to which your at
tention , as well as to other
treaties of the sama year la invited
before the eommissloner who formed
treaties. The
the question came
whether or not the ' .gut of freedmen ,
other than thoi who had belonged to
Indian tr'Jues , ahould be zllowed to
aettlo tj10BQ land * . Upon part of the
oommistlonor for the Indians it was
objected that tlie fr e < Jaen from the
southern states houla be allowed to
settle these iandi. The commissioner
on part of the United State * ootitehded
that it meant t > H frb'edmcn , and treat
ies were made with that understanding
in support of which statement I refer
to the minutes of the commissioners.
The terms of the treaties beginning
with this statement : Thojo lands are
ceded In campltanco with the desire
of the United States to looatj other
Indiana and freedmen thereon. The
government has already located some
Indiana upon these lands but further
location of the Indians thereon is by
law interdicted. No interdiction ,
however , hn been placed npcn the
right of freedmen. Wo invite the
fullest investigation of our movement
E3 we hold that we have been fully
authorized to employ up to 10,030
laborers on rates , and the terms set
forth iu our circular are : That our
rights shall not bo passed upon with
out n perjonal he ? ting. liaving an
abiding faith in the disposition of our
government to acord just'co to all
persons , without regard to race or
color , wo can rssuro you that we
contemplate no trespass on the lands
or the rights of any Indian or any
other persons.
[ Signed , ] J. MILTON TUKNEH ,
President of the Freedmen'a Okk
homa Association.

WASttlNuroiT , April 2& The Irreg
ular and fraudulent transactions whl'ch
have been nhcoVerod In the contract
office of the postoffice department by
the investigation of Ppstmaster Gener
al James , are the principal topics of
conversation throughout the cily , es
pecially in the executive department ,
where eager inquiries are made of
these who are supposed to bo ac uain-
ted with the facts , aa to tha number
pf persona and who they are th l will
be effected In thvir capacity.
A membttr of ex President Hayes"
cabinet , in conversation on the sub
ject , oxpreased great surprise when he
was told that the corruption extended
over the entire period of the preiovs
administration. When the gentleman
expressed his faith in tbo handily and
integrity of the imme&atepredectsaors
of Poatmarto ? General James , he said
that If the current statements were
true the parties Implicated were clear
ly indicted and that those officials hid
been sadly ignorant of the dutlej and
operations of the various bureaus un
der their care.
The case against those alleged to be
implicated in theae irregularities was ,
so far aa it has beeh iuade out , pre-
tented to tie president at a cabinet
raBatlng , and the discussion occupied
nearly the entire session yeaterday.
It was decided that when the evidence
is complete to present it to the attor
ney general for snob ncUon as he may
deem necessary for the best Interests
of the government. In the meantime -
time very little information of an offi
cial character can ba obtained , but it
is intimated thai statements will bo
furnished for publication as rapidly as
seems judicious by those having the
investigation in hand ;
There is a good deil of uneasiness
in and about the cor' set office of the
postoffico departmert. As yet no
removals have been made , but it is
stated that several clerks will be dis
missed in a few days. It is amen §
the rumors too that the affairs o !
Auditor McGrew , cf the tresury ,
who has charge of the auditing of the
postoffice accounts , as'well as this de
partment , are to be inspected.
Charges of irregularities in the
office of the sixth auditor that were
.
made two or three years agoj bu
which for sumo reason or other weri
hushed up , are now brought forwarc
for the consideration of thopostmaste
general. It Is known that the devel
opments when made public ) will de
cbro the existence of a powerfa
combination , the members of 'whicl
wore bonificiariea in appropriation
for the star route service , and in i
are included congressmen , ex-con
gressmen , newspaper proprietors
newspaper correspondents and proa
inent lobbyists. It Is tsserted that
letters are in the possession of the
special ngout of the postoffice depart
ment , fu'ly Implicating these parties.
The frienda of Gen. Brady allege
that the stories now afloat are merely
a rehash of wb'.b was developed be-
fore the sub-committee of appropria-
tiona two winters ago. On the other
hand the officers of the postoffico Q'
partmont eay that new facts have been
developed , showing conclusively the
existence of a star route ring. Secre-
tary KJrkwood authorizes a contra-
diction of the statement that General
Williams , commissioner of the general
land office , had been requested to re
sign. _
THE STAB BOUTE SCANDAL.
CONFLICTING AND SENSATIONAL STORIES
IN THE AIR.
WASHINGON , April 24 Tha Star ;
route scandal continues to be the inquiring
quiring ( sensation and conflicting and
lonsational stories were freely circu
lated to day. A number of Star route
oontractora whoso names have been
mentioned in connection with the
alleged Irregularities have arrived.
They omphatica ly deny any irregulai
contract business and propose to stand
equarely by Gen. Brady. It is stated
by the gentemen { near the president '
that the latter determined to make
clean aweop in tha postoffice depart'
ment of allpersonadirectly or Indirect
ly connected with the Star route scan
dal. Oiher departments of the gov )
ernment will be thoroughly overhaul
ed and ell crookedness lopped off.
The president is thoroughly deter
mined upon reformlnglhecivll service.
In tha case of Auditor McGrew
who has asked for an official invest !
cation , to his auditing of thopoitoflice
" icet
accounts , his request will bo "great-
od and the investigation will be thor
ough in every particular.
In connection with the alleged tar
route Irregularities a tabulated state'
ment has been made , showing the
manipulation of ninety-three heof
those routes , the total number being
9,225 , whereby the pay of ninety
three routes was raised between thi
lettings of 1878 and June 1,1880
from § 727,119 to $2,802,214 , the In'

Moseluy , a domestic in a family in
- West Middlesex , Pa. , died suddenly
- a few weeks ago. The physician
could not dirgnoso the case , and her

death , moved to Missouri. Miss
Moseiy was given a respectable burial
by the family in which she was em
ployed. On Friday Meads from
Missouri arrived here to remove the
ar remains , and upon opening the coffin
the most heart-sickening spectacle
was presented. The young lady had
been burled allvo whila in a trance
had turned over on her sldo and was
e
dying face down ward , hands clinched
in her hair , and with distorted fea
. tures , plainly showing the intensity laof
her suffering.
