INDIAN VISITORS.
Chief Bushyhead, of the Cherokee Nation,
accompanied by ex-Representative Phillips,
of Kansas, called upon Secretary Lamar TO-
day, and had an extended interview in re-
gard to the unwarrantable intrusion of
white settlers upon the Cherokee lands in
the Indian Territory. Although the In
dams under their treaties have the power to
determine the status of citizens of the Ma
ton, yet the department is charged with the
duty of
EXCITING INTRUDERs
And in the exercise of that duty has as
sumed the right of determining who are and
who are not intruders. Chief Bushyhead
says that there are q number of persons
residing in the territory, who are there
under tribal permits and those persons he
does not wish to disturb, but there are also
many white persons in the territory who
claim to be citizens Of the nation, and have
taken up choice lands, who are not entitled
to the rights of citizenship, and should be
elected.
THE INDIANS ARE SATISFIED
with the present arrangements with the cat
tie men. Chief Bushy head wishes to i'm
press upon the secretary the advisability Of
allowing them to remain in possession Of the
lands.

quires the railroad company to employ for
| this purpose persons over the age of 16
