last night, ex-Premier Ferry spoke in de.
fence Of bis colonial policy. Bis speech
aroused q great uproar and met with violent
interruptions. In the excitement many
members were called to order.
N. Ferry said that France went to Ton.
quin and Madagascar because honor and
the fulhllment Of treatries called her. he
doubted whether negotiations with hovss
would lead to .yorable issue. Itwas i'm
possible to abandon the Sskalavar TO the
vengeance of the hovaa Such IN act
would compromise the interests Of civilka-
ton in the far east. To colonize was jus
tilted because it was the right and duty Ct
superior races to civiize inferior races.
Since ell Datii D, were NV entering upon
colonial movements France must do like
wise or forfeit her position. The debate
was adjourned until Thursday.
NJ. Clemencean will probably reply to M.
Ferry on Friday.

The Cherokees Moving to Have Them
Abolished.
EfrTLE Rock, July 29.-lntelligence f-ou
Indian Territory indicates that the Chero-
KEGS are moving to have the leases made by
Chief Bushyhesd and other chiefs to the cat
tie syndicates abolished Over 100000
acres OF land are covered by these leases,
They were made without consent Of the peo-
pie at large, and majority of the Cherokses
have been protesting since the public we're
acquainted with the facts of fsuch steps having
been taken. The intention is to present the
tie facts to President Cleveland in me
mortal from the people and ask him to set
sside the leases and drive the cattle men
out. The rental secured by the leases is
only few cents per acre, while the lands
embraced comprise the best portion OF the
Cherokee territory. The Cherokses alege
that since the leases were made they have
been beset By agents Of the cattle kings who
desired to work upa sentiment favorable to
selling large tracts Of lands to cattle COM
panies; that cattle are ranging on land not
under lease, but reserved for the Cherokeesi
and that altogether the cattle men are Q
disturbing element and ought to be re-
moved.
