Indications that but Little of the Public Debt
VIII Re Paid During the Coming Year
Special to tue indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, June 2-Those who have paid
close attention to the financial problems of the
United States express the opinion that the re-
demption of bonds during the coming fiscal year
will be very much less than they have been dur
ing the present year. I. is noticed that the
heaviest calls are far below those made by Sec
rotary Folger during his administration, and in
spite Of the fact that during the brief period that
Mr. McCulloch served as Secretary of the Treas
ury. after Secretary Folger's death, there were
no bonds called, the present administration has
found so little of the surplus available for this
purpose that the payment of the principal on
the bonded debt has been far below what was
expected and what was promised during the
campaign of a. The bad financial management
of the men who control the lower branch of Con-
gress has been such as to warrant very little
payment of the debt proper and during the COM
ing year it will be impossible to call more than a
very few millions-it is thought not more than
ten or fifteen at the outside.

Queer Complications That May Arise from a
Recent Supreme Court Decision.

Queer Complications That May Arise from a
Recent Supreme Court Decision.
Washington Special.
A decision has been rendered by the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia which will at
tract considerable attention, as it determines a
long-disputed point involving the relation of the
government to the Indians. In 1883 Congress
passed an act appropriating $500, 900 to pay an
old claim of the Cherokee Indians against the
government. Chief Bushyhead is alleged to
have paid 1925, 900 of this sum to w. A. Phillips
and other lobbyists who secured the passage of
lips and others for defrauding the Cherokee In
dams of this amount of money, and the case
came to trial yesterday. After a brief argu-
ment, the court granted a motion of the defense
TO quash the indictments. on the ground that the
Cherokee Indians, against whom the offense was
alleged to have been committed, are foreign
nation; that the offense was not violation Of
the laws of the United States, and the court had
no jurisdiction.
This decision has been the subject Of much
talk at the Capitol to-day, and is Endorsed by the
most prominent lawyers in both houses of Con-
gress, who hold that SO long as the United States
government makes treaties with Indian tribes
they cannot be regarded in any other light than
as independent foreign nations. But 1t is sug-
eested that many perplexing questions may arise
out OF this decision, one OF which Is whether a
reservation, recognized by treaty as the proper
~ of foreign nation, is subject to jurisdiction
OF the United States, or must be considered as
foreign territory At the present session Of Con-
Gsess several bills have been passed. granting
rights of way to railroad companies through the
various Indian reservations, and Congress
has been very generous in this respect
TO several companies that want to run
Zines through the territory of these
same Cherokees who are pronounced foreign
nation. Any one who cares TO test the validity
OF these acts can make the railroad companies
considerable trouble, as under the decision of
the court Congress has no more authority to vote
q right of way through the Cherokee Nation
than through India or Persia. The government
may acquire land of the Indians by treaty, but
cannot give railroad companies or others rights
upon them.
Senator Dawes the chairman Of the commit
tee on Indian affairs, said to-day that this de-
cision was surprise to him. Our relations
with the Indians were anomalous and ridiculous
When we fed them they were the wards of the
Nation; when we made treaties with them they
were foreign powers, and when we wanted their
lands they were without rights, like the bears or
buffaloes. The only way to settle the question
was to pass a law dssolving tribal relations and
declaring the Indians citizens of the United
States.
