THE INDIAN BILL.


Below is the full text of the Dawes
Indian bill. 1t will be seen by our
dispatches in yesterdays issue, that
the house provision which was agreed
TO by the senate, provides for negoti-
aiions looking 10 the abandonment of
the Indian title to Oklahoma. This
virtually settles the Oklahoma ques-
ton for the present, and indicates, as
plainly as words can, that congress
considered there is an Indian tile in
these lands. Judging by Senator
Vests remarks in This connection.
there is no reason to believe
that the boomers will be al
lowed to remainin Oklahoma
until the negotiations referred to
are completed, which will be some
time yet, unless an extra session of
congress Is called:

men, representing the Crescent club, of Bal

was the ilag cavalry, of the District Of Co

states that furnished Cleveland majorities
were represented by horses, one for each
vote, arranged in states by color. They were
followed by heCleveland andilendrickS club,

mounted clubs wearing eolored sashes. The
