The Iadlans. who Were Dissatisfied VIII
~ Presence of the Cattle Barons o.
Their I.ands. Nov Nlss Thelr Rens Mon
ey--fears of Troable.
WIcmtA FAILS, TEX, December l5.-
Word has reached here from Fort Reno.
In the Arapahoe Reservation, Indian Ter
ritory. that IN outbreak u imminent
among the Cheycnnes and Arapahoes.
Great dissatisfaction prevails among the
bucks u these tribes, which Is aggravated
hy the loss Of the large sums of rent
money which they had been receiving for
the past ten years from the cattle barons.
Since President Cleveland has elected the
catticmen from these reservations, Of
course, rental payments have ceased.
The Indians who set up such clamor NJ
the presence of white settlers never real
ixed what = source Of supply these white
intruders were. They paid from four 10
ten cents an acre for the use ~
graxing lands. and this money was di-
vided quarterly per capita among the
bucks " the Cheyenne and Arapahoc
tribes. and II kept them In whisky. to-
bacco, old plug hats. etc, the entire year.
The period for distribution Of quarters
rental has Just passed, and the bucks rode
from all parts of the Nation 70 receive
their stipend, but found nothing awaiting
them. Now they accuse the Government
of robbing them, and are ready for an
outbreak Those Chiefs who were most
urgent In demanding the expulsion u the
cattlemcn are now the most rampant de-
nounccrs ~ the Government. II was
thought the recent issues Of annuity
goods by the Government at Darlington
Agency would pacify the diSgruntled Red
skins. but Il has had the very opposite
eject This was the first annuity supply
To the Chcyenncs and Arapahocs In three
years, and the Indians thought they were
entitled 10 three times as much as usual.
But Congress made them no back appro-
priation. Hence, they claim they are be-
ing robbed. Murders and outrages may
be looked for in these reservations
shortly.

A Panic in NIormOndOm.

There seems to be something very like
panic in Mormon circles. All recent reports
from Salt Lake City concur in their represen.
tations of the unessiness manifested among
the most prominent polygamists. The vigo-
rous administration Of the law by Judge Zane
and bis ooadjutors has convinced the Mormon
leaders that there is an unsupported vitality
in statutes which they have fancied they could
defy with impunity. One by one eminent
polygamists have been con vioted and consign-
ed to imprisonment, and the wise policy has
been pursued of selecting for discipline those
whose position in the church was such IS to
lend emphasis to their disgrace. When it
comes to the test, very few of the leaders who
have kept such bold front before their focks
are anxious for the honors of msrtyrdom.
Mexico begins to look more and more like q
convenient place Of refuge, though the Mexi-
cans are understood to have ideas Of their
own on that subject. President Taylor and
several of his counselors, including the prin
cipal editor Of the Mormon organ, are mystic
riously absent, and are reported to be appre-
hensive Of arrest-an apprehension which is
in a measure justified by the fact that the
editor left in charge of the paper has Just
been arrested for polygamy. 1t is not singu-
lar in view Of all these circumstances, that
rumors are in circulation to the effect that
revelation is expected at an early date dis
couraging, if not renouncing, polygamy.
The most surprising thing, however, is that
the Mormon church organ has broken silence
upon this question, and discusses the rumors
of the coming abrogation of polygamy at the
spring conference. The tone of its article is
deprecatory, but in no respect violent, toward
those weaker brethren who advocate the
change. The reports in question are not de-
MED, and it is admitted that a portion of the
church favors the step.
The Mormon leaders will find a new ele-
ment of disturbance in a decision rendered
on Monday of this week, by the United States
supreme court, in favor of the board of COM
missioners or canvassers appointed under the
Edmunds act OF 1882 to supervise elections in
Utah. The series of Ave cases, known as the
polygamy suits, we're brought by certain Nor
mon citizens to get judicial decision as to
the power of the board to prescribe as a con-
dition of the registration of voters dscrim-
mating test oath requiring the applicant for
registration, IL q man, 10 swear that he Is not
bigamist or polygamist, or, If a woman, to
swear that she is not the wife of a polygamist
and has not entered into any relation with
any man in violation OF the laws of the Unit
ed States concerning pOlygamy or bigamy.
The decision of the court affirms the legality
and binding form of these provisions to be
beyond controversy"
