CHIEF BUsHYHEAD'S ADMINISTRATION S

CHIEF BUsHYHEAD'S ADMINISTRATION SAID
TO BE TOO LIBERAL WITH THE CATTLEMEN.
Advices from Indian Territory says: The
meeting of the Cherokee council, or legislature,
which occurs in November, is anticipated with
more than ordinary interest It is expected
that this assembly will settle the question as to
what faction shall predominant in Cherokee
affairs. There are three parties in the nation
namely, national, loyal and Downing-which
nearly equally divide the voting strength of the
Cherokees. The leader of the first named is ID.
W. Bushy head, who was elected principal cher
for a term of four years in 1883. Though his ad-
ministration has been reformatory and progress
sive it is bitterly assailed, and it is claimed that
1t will be subjected to rigid legislative invest-
CATION. There are sixteen senators and fifty
eight representatives, in the council,
and an attempt is being made to
combine the opposition of the loyal and Down.
ing members against the Bushyhe admins
tration. Should this be done serious results
will follow. The chief charges against Bushy-
head are that he was largely Instrumental in
giving lease to syndicate of cattle men of
100000 acres of Cherokee lands at nominal
rental and that the recent sale of land for
100000 was sanctioned by him without the
consent of the people. His statement made to
pleased with the lease to the cattle men is con-
tradicted. 1t is the wish of the Cherokees that
the United States authorities send a commits
sion to learn the real feeling of the people on
this point. These matters however, will be
thoroughly ventilated by the legislature. Chief
Bushyhead has returned to Tahlegah from

COLUMBUS OHIO, October 19.-Odds are being
offered by number Of democrats that Sher-

This is based on the theory that there has been
a canvass OF the new members made and the
information elected that there are several re-
publican members who will not support Sher-
man in case the legislature is republican. The
outward claims from each headquarters at this

A. WatsOn's War ON the Signal Service.
WHAT GEN. HAZEN SAYS ABOUT 1.-THE WORK
OF THE BUREAU CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH EXISTING LAW.
A STAR reporter asked General Hazen to-day
about the charges of irregularities in the signal
service which have been widely published,
coupled with the statement that they had been
preferred against him to the Treasury DEPART
ment. The main point in the charges was that
the whole work carried on by the signal SER
vice for years was without warrant OF law.
General Hazen replied that the published
charges and the official charges which had been
submitted to both the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Secretary OF War had all emanated
from Mr.. A. Watson. He was responsible for
the publications, and upon these he based his
oihcial charges. General Hazen added tnat
Mr.: Watson had grievance. His plan of flood
and storm signals by the telegraph and cannon
mad been ignored, Notwithstanding he had been
writing official letters on the subject for
years. In his efforts to avenge HIM
sell ne had made the charges re-
Ierred TO- taking the original law in regard to
signal service work as basis, but entirely ig-
norlng the many laws made on the subject sub
sequentiy under which the work of the service
mas oeen legally conducted. There was not q
particle OF truth, he said in Mr.. Watson's
charges. They had all been referred to him by
the Secretary OF War without comment. Gen.
dazen ola not think reply necessary, but
nevertheless wrote to the Secretary Of War
described above.

phia Press, dated last night says: The official
count Of the vote of the county viii be begun
tomorrow, and 1t will probably take two or
three days to finish it, There is every indics-
ton tonight that certificates will be given tn

Many Irregularities have been found In the
returns In Franklin county, in which the city

the supposed result of the election. In precinct
A, fourth ward Of Columbus, the certificates 10

failed to sign the poll book and write the name
oil the prec1nct at the top. This irreguiarity was
passed by for future consideration of the oues-
ton whether the precinct should be thrown out
or counted. The discovery Of this very stupid
blunder created a profound sensation on &C
count Of the effect IL might have upon the re-
suit. Another furry was created when precinct
b, of the twelfth ward, was reached and It was
found that the judges had failed TO certify the
tally sheet. The vote was recorded and the
irregularities noted. The condition Of the poll
book in precinct A, thirteenth ward, where 700
votes were polled, was found TO be in precisely
the same Irregular condition as that Of precinct
b, fourth ward. II is understood that precinct
A, OF the thirteenth ward, gave over 400 repub-
lican majority. and IL ii is thrown out IL will
elect every democrat on the county ticket ex-
cept Allen o. Myers.
