and interest thereon at s per cent to nay
judgment for said amount rendered by the Court
OF Claims In favor OF the Choctaw Nation OF In
dams; and 1t is provided that said appropriation
''shall be paid" upon acquisitions ''by the proper
authorities Of the Ch0ctow Nation, to the
national treasurer OF said Nation, or to
such other person or persons as shall be named In
said reQuistiona" reQuisition for $7S3 783 SO OF
the above appropriation WAS recently made by
the Choctaw nation In favor OF their
agent and attorney, and naming him therein
as the person to receive said amount. At
the same time . request was made by other attor-

said reQuisition and delay payment thereon until
their rights could be settled in the courts.
The question was thereupon presented to the

this could properly be done. He decides that, un-
der the mandatory provisions OF the act providing
TO whom the appropriation "shall be paid, " pay
melt must be made to the person ssnained In said

MALONE AND RlDDLRBRRGER BURY THE RATCHET.
Senator Riddleberger has made friends with ex-
Senator Malone since the Chicago convention, and
the two are now on the very best terms. They are
together at Chamberiins every day. Virginia re-
publicans OF the anti-Mahone faction say that
senator Riddleberger wanted to go on the national
committee for Virginia. but the delegation elected
ex-Congressman Brady; that this angered the
Senator, and he Immediately Joined hands with
Malone. STAR reporter was informed that Gen.
Malone had re-esta6 ished friendly relations with
all the republican leaders who had antagonzed
him except MeSSrs. John s. Wise and Brady, and
that with regard 10 these two he had declared ne
had no terms or friendship to offer.
The Malone men declare that they do not intend
to withdraw their electoral ticket in Virginia;
that 1t was regularly and properly placed Ia the
field and shall stay.
A virginian, who is generally well informed with
regard 10 the politics OF that state says that Gen.
Malone Is not very enthusiastic. He added: "Ma-
hone knows that If Harrison is elected the Blaine
element Will control everything, and that he will
have no show at all He does not retract any OF
his former serious charges against Blaine"
The Virginia democrats are watching the efforts
OF the republicans to unite their factions with
great interest, for they admit that II the republi-
cans come together there will be q hard light and
very close result In the state.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, March 2S.-Beiore parliament dispersed
yesterday for the Easter holidays meeting OF the
liberal party was held at spencer House. Glad
stone spoke hopefully OF the future OF the party
and recommended that every effort be made TO
forward the local government bill, subject TO GER
tain notifications. II appears almost certain that
the government licensing scheme Will not be
allowed TO pass. The principle or compensation
to saloon-keepers owing TO the reduction OF the
number OF licenses is particularly obnoxious 10
the teetotalers. Among the public men who spoke
against the proposal yesterday were Herbert Glad
stone, Wilfred Lawson, and Spurgeon. one OF the
speakers put the prevailing opinion OF certain
classes in epigramatic FORM saying there ought 10
be compensation, but compensation 20 tue orphans

measure energeuUally forward.
THE REFORMING ZEAL
OF the new generation OF tories continues to mani
fest itself In other ways. Jennings proposes TO
move resolution against the wasteful reorgani-
zation OF certain departments, declaring that ofi
cials instead OF being pensoned should be trans
ferred TO vacant posts elsewhere. Jennings Is in
tinately associated with Churchill, who aspires 10
be the leader OF the new party OF economy. AT the
same time another attack Is made upon the con-
stltution OF the house or lords 10y Curzon, a tory
member and himself heir 70 a peerage. In an
article In the National RerieiC he urges that the
lords should reform themselves while the tory
party Is In power, and submits scheme OF reform
whereby peers may be admitted on the hereditary
principle only IL they have done something 10 dis
ways, the rest to be excluded and their number
made up by the creation OF fifty life peers and fny
peers elected for nine years by the commons: The
house OF lords and their friends are evidently
keenly conscious OF the glaring absurdity or that
institution In an age OF representative assemblies.
