Clarke be directed to pro-ceed to the Ponca Agency and, in connection with the agent, adjust existing difficulties in regard to these allotments. Instructions were accordingly submitted for Department approval November 12, 1897, and Miss Clarke soon after entered upon duty. Up to the 30th of July she had made 191 allotments; the number of allotments on the previous schedule was 395.
