lightning, and thrown violently several feet;

THE KANSAS INDIAN LANDS.

Project for their Sale-Present Condition
Of fhe Lands.
Washington despatch to the New York
Times says:-
Instructions have been prepared In the General
Land once for the survey of the Indian lands in
Kansas, known as the Cherokee strip. In a treaty
with the Chetokees In 1866 this land was ceded to
the United States In trust, and the manner OF its
sale was defined, but in that treaty the strip was
former treaty was made for description. An
error in citing the number OF article in which
no such description appears created some doubt
about the validity of the cession though the nten-
ton of the stipulation was well known. The land
stlptwo miles anu lew chains wide In Kansas,
next the southern boundary, along which it extends
somev here about lI0 miles. bill which has been
pushed for long time in Congress aud passed the
Senate at the last session. but failed IN the House,
was intended to correct the informaty above noted
and place the lands upon the market, to be sold
in trust for the CheroKees, at an appraised
price, not less than S125 per acre.
There are good many settlers upon the
laI dis who went to titles to what they have
improved, and others living near represented as
being ready to take them soon they have an
opportunity. The Indians too, want the ineney for
them. II s thought by many that the sale can be
made by the Interior Department without new egis-
lston. That question win come up before the de-
partment, perhaps but has not been considered yet
But, in view OF the certainty OF the sale ultimately
the order OF survey Is made The survey, how
ever, cannot be made until the commission recently
appointed to define the southern boundary line
OF Kansas has concluded it's work. This boundary
years sgo end the field of the surveyor cannot
be found; and the mounds then made at irregular
distances to mark the line are nearly quite de-
stroyed 1t is supposed the work OF re.estaoshing
this boundary will occupy three months, and it Is
possible resurvey of It NAV become necessary. The
survey OF the tands themselves cannot, therefore,
begin till autumn, and may not be completed this
year. Ihere Is therefore, no prospect for the specu
latfves schemes, of which much has been said, to
succeed at present, and 1t is determined that no
such schemes shall ever succeed II every possible
precauton can prevent it. The rights OF the
Indians the settlers, and the Government are being
carefully guarded. The lands are described very
valuable from their location and native fertility,
and OF course speculalors will obtain them IL they

SELLING CIGARS WITHOUT LICENsE.-Jo-
seph Curra and John Rodriguez, one Spauiard
and the other Portuguese, were before United
States Commissioner Phillips this morning on
the charge of selling cigars without license.
Mr.. James Hllinger testified that on Friday
afternoon last he was in the tavern of G. Brown,
No. S07 South Front street, when the defendants
which they said were imported, offered to dis
pose of them. Mr.. EllInger promised to buy,
when one of them went out and in a short time
returned with yalise containing 1000 cigars.
The men were accused OF selling without a
license, and they replied that they were not
selling for themselves, but for another man.
Their answers were so unsatisfactory that they
were taken in custody. The cigars, when
examined, proved to be not foreign but do
mestie.
The accused were each held in $500 bail to
answer.
