DISSATISFIED cHERoK EEs.
Chief Bushy heads Representatives to I
Government Condemned.

Chief BuGhyhead'S Representatives to the
Government Condemned.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Oct. 10-Intelli
gencc from Indian Territory is to the
effect that the Cherokees are considerably
stirred up concerning the misappreben
sion made in the sale OF certain lands L
the United States Government for $780,
OGO. The purchase money was paid somt
time ago, and divided pro rata among the
Cherokees only. The lands sold were
supposed to be those conveyed some time
$50 for the use Of divers Indian tribes
but II appears that the sale covered what
is known as the Cherokee strip, embracing
tract OF several million acres.
Another subject Of dissension is the least
OF millions Of acres Of land to cattle syndi
Gates. The Cherokee strip itself is EN-
braced In these leases. Chief BushyheaC
is reported as baving said TO Secretary La
mar that the Cherokees are well satisfied
with the leases and want the cattle To re
main. This statement is denied by tht
Cherokees.
Asa matter Of fact, the leases have beer
source Of trouble from the outset, A bit
ter fight is being made against Chic
Bpshyhead and his administration, and !
Is expected to break out against him ii
the Legislature, which meets in November
with great violence. OF the seventy.tou
members, Senators and Representative!
which comprise the council, a majority Il
put down as anti Bushyhead, and 1t is ex
pected that his official acts, which in any
way affect the general welfare, will be
closely investigated. he was chosen prin
cipal chief in 1883 for four years term
His administration has been Of progress
i've character.

NOTHING in all the remarkable invests
Oatiou Of Chief Smiths charges against
tho Mayor has been so striking as the con-
scct OF Clerk Galligan on the witness
stand lss: night. Nolanguage can do JUS
tce to that scene. 1t wasnot only defiant
and scandalous in the extreme; it was un-
speqkabIy pi,iable tosee 3 grown man Of
more than ordinary intelligence prancing
aal rearing and filling the air with pro-
fanity-making boasttul threats and wild,
menseing gestures-ouly to be forced to
do finally and in chastened spirit what
he might Us well have done without 30
much theatrical pother.
A man who holds three public places
and draws as many salaries from the city
ought at least to be respectful to body
whose servant he is. Being himself on
the stand. he ought at least to respect the
oath which as notary he has admins
tered to other witnesses in this proceed
Ing and which he had taken before he
went on the stand. The committee could
no. force him to appear, but since he vol
untsered TO appear the committee must
have been startled to find in its own clerk
the only witness who had the hardihood
to shake his fst,in It's face, with coarse
epshets defy is authority and with arro-
gant bravado' challenge the committee to
try to remove him from the presence he
had SO grossly insulted.
1t isno pleasure to dwell on this episode,
which makes the bad case Of the prosecu-
ton worse, and doubtless brings very near
to its close the public career in Wheeling
Of Mr.. Galligan. His best friend must
admit that he has rushed on his fate with
his eyes wide open. He could have made
himself increasingly useful in this COM
munity; he has chosen to go down with
tue CAet Of Police. Let them both de-
mart ia peace,

SINGED BY FLAME.
A rEnRlBLY DISASTROUS FIRE
In which Nearly Whole Family is DlOtted
out-A Fatal Fire in Chicago The
Finding of the Charrsd Corp,o,
in the Burning Dwelling.

CHICAGO, Oct ia terribly quick
spreading fire broke out in the one story
and a half brick cottage at No. Sc Vernon
Park Place, owned and occupied by W.
S. Bates, a few minutes after o'clock this
morning, in which four persons were
burned to death. The family consisted
OF FIVE persons and servant lirl, and all
but two met most horrible death. An
alarm was sounded at box 625, and when
the tiremen arrived on the scene the
house was in blaze.
Fire Marshal Campion found Mr.. Bates
in the alley at the side Of the house suf.
ferinH from severe bruises, but able 10 tell
the story OF the catastrophe. Wringing
his hands in agony over the lOss OF his
family, and suffering keenly from his own
severe hurts, he said that at o'clock this
morning the servant girl started q fire in
the kitchen and went ont OF doors
moment later, leaving the door open. sne
returned In 3 minute or two and found
the kitchen in q blaze. The girl ran away,
screaming Tith fright, and Mr.. Bates waa
aroused, rushed into the kitchen, and
tried to extinguish the flames with hose
attached to the hydrant and afterwards
with buckets. Not succeeding he rushed
out and sent in an alarm.
The firemen went TO work on the bitZ.
ing pile with will and succeeded in put
ting the Gre out in fifteen minutes. The
entire interior Of the house was gutted,
but the walls remain intact. When the
6Eemen entered the house they found the
charrod bodies OF the entire family, with
the exception OF Mr.. Bates. They we're:
Mrs. MABI Z. BATES, aged 35.
JOHN BATES, aged 5.
EDWARD BATES, an infant.
Mrs. DRgYsoS, aged 70, mother Of Mrs.
Bates.
The body OF Mrs. Bates was found lying
two feet from the front window on the first
floor, burned to crisp. The charred re-
mains OF her baby was lying close by.
The remains OF Mrs. Dreyson, tho mother
Of Mrs. Bates, were found up stairs. She
evidently died OF suffocation, as the body
was not much burned. The boy was found
in the ruins OF bed. The partitions and
walls OF the house were lined with felt.
When the blaze once started it spread all
over the house with inconceivable rapidity.
The charred bodies were removed to the
morRue by patrol wagon.
The house was valued at 81 500, and
there wa no insurance on 1t. Nothing
was heard OF the servant girl after her
flight. It is also said that brother Of
Mrs. Bates was lodging at the house, and
was seen about the place when the fire
was in progress, but suddenly disappeared.

THE IEGIsLArURE
Sure for the RepubuCans-Tho Fsanklir
Comfy DenI Defeated.

County Denl Defeated.
CoLuMDus, Oct. l9.-The beginning oI
the week finds the Democrats still cling
ing to hope that the official count in
Hamilton county, which began this morn
| ing, will result in their favor. They are
also especially anxious that the vote in
three Republican precincts in this city will
be thrown out on account OF some minoI
defects ia returning the poll sheets
However, there does not appear to be q
very strong sentiment that either will be
accomplished. The Irregularities found
are not such as wopld stand for q mo
ment in-any court Of Just CO, and it 10 be-
iieved that the cauvEssins board,wili moi
find them to be illegal. OF course, the
Democrats are making greatenort IA
CONVINCE the board that where poll sheets
are not signed by the clerks aud judges
that they are illegal, and caunot be re-
turned in tho official count. Arguments
were heard all day Saturday, and It is ex-
pected no deCi4ion will be given before
this evening.
Should these precincts be thrown out
entirely the Democrats will then elect
their ticket in this county, With the excep,
ton Of Myers, for Representative, who IL
defeated by Shepard by a majority oI
about l,4O0. The Republicans insist upon
these returns being counted as though
there were no defects. It is the opinion
OF the Supreme Court that the Board
should use intelligence, Judgment and
sense in the performance Ct their duties
and while they may be confined TO the
papers before them, they are also to take
cornizsnce OF facts Of public notorieiyi
also the poll-bookp, according 10 the Sn'
preme Court Of Ohio, are one and the
same, and constitute the returns in the
sense required by Law, and as such they
should be received and counted. Under
such decision 1t does not seem possible
that the votes will be considered illegal
but be counted and returned Gs they were
intended to be cast, and thus the men viii
be elected To Office who have received the
majority Of The votes.
There is no longer any doubt but that
the Republicans have carried the Legisla
trre on joint ballot. This afternoon thu
official canvass thus far returned TO thu
Secretary OF State shows ftty.six Republi
can Representatives to have been electec
and certificates issued to them. As thert
| Is one more member surely elected in thi
county, the House will stand 81 certainl!
and the Senate II, thus giving the Repub
licans majority Of one in selecting
| United States Senator.

compromise the future OF my country.
Servia, although ill-treated by Its treaty at
Berlin, has always respected that solemn
compact, but II anybody else is allowed TO
touch it with impunity, then servia will
make tho whole structure tumble down
with crash." :"
Correspondent Your army seems 10 me
to be in frst.rate spirits?
King-A good many things are still
needed, but the soldiers are burning with
impAtience TO open the campaiga. Many
Of the volunteers are already Old soldiers.
The pluck and bravery OF the infantry will
help make up for the scarcity OF artillery.
The students who arc enlisted, or the
voluuteers, are imploring me 10 let them
march TO the front at once. We must wait
few days longer to see whether diplO-
macy is not able to establish calm.
