ChOctaW Nation Awarded 81 Heavy
CInim Agninst tho GOvernment


Claim Against the Government.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The court of
claims to-day decided the case of the Choc-
taw nation against the United States, and
rendered a judgment in favor of the ma
tion for 1886, sos. This case was sent 10
the court of claims by an act of congress of
March 80, 1881, providing for the ascertain
ment of the amount due the Choctow ma
ton. The claim resulted from the viola
tion by the United States of certain treaties
entered into with the Choctow nation in
1880. 1855 and 1866. The principal sub
ject of contention resulted from the failure
of the United States to secure to the ChOc-
taws in severalty the lands which the
United States guaranteed to them by the
treaty of 1880. They did not receive these
ands. but they were sold by the United
States in violation of the terms of the
treaty and the amount received from the
sale thereof paid into the treasury more
than fifty years ago. In 1859 the senate of
the United States under the authority of
the treaty of 1855, awarded the ChOctaws
on account of these losses 50, 9S1, 900. This
award was subsequently recognized by con-
gress by an appropriation in part payment
thereof in 1861 of $3.50, 600. Since that
time fourteen reports, recognizing the
validity and cOncluSivenesS OF that award.
have been made by committees of both
houses of congress. The court of claims
now holds that the award of the senate in
favor of the ChoctawS was set aside be-
cause the Choctaw nation availed itself of
the provisions of the act of 1881, and
brought its suit under the terms of that act
in the court of claims. The judgment is
based upon considerations independent of
the award of the senate. In announcing
the decision the court declared 1t to be the
most important case that it had ever been
called upon to decide. The case will now
go to the supreme court on appeal by both

MANNING'S POLICY
DisapprOved by silver Men on the
Ways and Means Committee.


Ways and Means Committee.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Members of the
ways and means committee who favor the
continued coinage of silver, and who do not
agree with Secretary Manning's policy of
keeping large surplus in the treasury,
have held several conferences. and have de-
cided to mature bill and present it to the
committee this week. directing the secretary
OF the treasury to call not less than $780,,
600. 600 of outstanding bonds. said bonds to
be paid out OF the surplus in the treasury.
The question as to the proportion of gold
and silver, which will be paid for said
bonds, has not yet been fully determined.
but the indications are that they will adopt
Mr. Becs's proposition to pay in the same
money that is collected for customs duties
in New York. Members of the committee
think it time that this question of silver and
keeping a large surplus idle in the treasury
should be definitely settled by the house.
This will bring the silver question promi-
nently before the house in a new and deii-
mite shape, and it IS expected it will create
much antagonism among anti-silver men.
