 WAsruSGroS, Jan. Senate: Among the petitions presented was one by Plumb from the Oklahoma settlers, who set forth that the land they occupy has long since been bought from the lndl- ans by the United States and paid for, that the United States did not expect or intend the Indians should again occupy the land. and the petitioners therefore see no reason why they should not be allowed to remain in their homes estab- | lished for themselves and their families. They protested against the cruelty of | their removal and say they would not have been disturbed but for the great influence of wealthy and powerful cattle owners, who do not themselves pretend to have any title to the land, but who use the land for grazing cattle. The petitioners add they have gone to Okla homa to say with their blows and axes, and that thousands of their friends ex- pect to go there, and they pray congress to withdraw the military forces and instead take early steps to organize territory of Oklahoma.

Jan. 6, 1SS5.-My Dear Sir:-Through the press and otherwise l learn that you with the aid of other friends of mine are engaged in raising a subscription for my benefit. I appreciate both the motive and friendship which have dictated this course on your part, but on mature re- tiection I regard it as due to myself and family to disclaim this profered Sener- osity. Iregret that I did not make this known earlier. Very truly yours.

Jan. 7.-The Pacifce Coast Association (roads between Chicago St. Louis and the Missouri river interested in California freight traiiic) has sue ceeded in abolishing a special contract system on California freight. The sys- tem has been m vogue for many years past by which the Central Pacific was permitted to make special rates for such | shippers (abOut One-third of regular tariff rtesl as would make a contract not to ship any of their business by the Pacific Mail Steamship line or Clipper Roads east of the Missouri river and eastern trunk lines lad to operate the contract rates at the end of last year. The Pacific Coast Association decided not to join the Irans-C Continental AssO- citation m any Of their contracts and in sisted upon regular shippers alike, as eastern trunk lines backed up the Pacific Coast Association in this matter and tho Trans Continental had TO other alterna- tue than to submit to the demands Of their eastern connections.
