The bill reported to the senate to. day
from the committee on Indian affairs
authorizes the eastern band of Chero-
kee Indians to bring suit in the court
of claims against the Cherokee nation.
1t provides for Judicial controversy

prorata share of the moneys arising
from the sale by the western nation OF
land and other property, which the
eastern band maintained belonged to
the people of the Cherokees eastern
band. The bill authorizes the employ

subject to approval. The chief justice
OF the court of claims IN to prosecute
the suit, and directs the secretary OF

amount of bonds to be issued could no
exceed 100000 while the amour
OF interest to be guaranteed by Tn
