Copyrigh, 1855, by the California AssociGted I'ressi
WASHINGTON. August 1st.-A rather start
ling rumor is current on the street here
this evening, which, if well-founded, will
cause commotion in Indian Territory. 1t
will be remembered that q short time ago,
after a legal fight lasting for nearly fifty
years, the Choctaw claim, so-called, was
finally ordered paid. There were num-
Der of attorneys around, who desired 10 get
their fingers in this large sized pie, and
there was good deal of contest over who
should be entrusted with the control of the
money
Finally there was paid to an attorney
named Mckee a sum eggregating about
100000. He was, however, compelled TO
pay into Court $150,000 of the sum, and on
Tuesday morning another order was made
directing the further payment of $135 600.
But as soon as the order was made it was
discovered that Mr.. Mckee could not be
found. 1t is said that he left town on Mon
him soon after. The servants at his house
claim to know nothing of his whereabouts,
and in fact there is the utmost mystery as
to his present abiding place.
1t may be that Mr.. Mckee is simply in
hiding, in order to prevent the service of
legal papers upou him, which would result
in the still further delay in the settling OF
this long-delayed case. But, whatever the
reason for his absence, there is decided
feeling of uneasiness among the other legal
luminaries, who were eagerly expecting a
plum out of this big amount of money.

A Good Story Told On Congressman MI

A Good Story Told ON Congressmen Mills
and Bynum.
,copyi9a. 1883. by pe California Associated PressI
WASHINGTON, August 1st.-The maddest
men in the House to-day were Premier
Mills and his able Lieutenant, Congress
man Bynum, of Indiana They have Just
returned from Chatauqua, near Atlanta,
Ga, the same place to which Speaker Carl
isle and Congressman Mckinley were in
vited. 1t appears that this Chatauqua
meeting was nothing more nor less than a
money-naking scheme, but that fact was
kept away from all those invited to speak.
Failing to secure Carlisle, those having
the affair in charge took what they could
get in Mr. Mills, and Mr.. Bynum was taken
along as an extra, not down on the bills.
These gentlemen went to good deal of
trouble to prepare fresh speeches on the
tariff, and that is no easy Job, when it is
remembered that there have been seven
months of it here.
Everything went all right until they
reached the nall where they were to speak
The management was so careless that when
Messrs. Mills and Bynum started TO go in
at the door they were stopped and told
they would have to procure tickets at the
box-oifice, so cents each. This made the
Texan so made that he let loose, and the
ar was Dlue around there Tor lew mo-
ments. Bynum, as soon as he could, ex-
planned who they were, and the doorkeeper
apologized and offered to escort them to the
platform himself, in order to make amends,
bat Mills was too angry, and refused point
blank to speak for any crowd at 50 cents
per head.
4" / didn't come down here" he said, to
educate the people at so much lesson.
What do they take me for, any way?'
He and Mr.. Bynum walked away Half
an hour later, however, Mr.. Bynum had
persuaded the gentleman from Texas that
the only way out of ii was to make the
very best out of very bad bargain, and
Mills, whose first thought was to keep the
thing out of the papers, had aoceded in
order to keep the matter quiet. But the
story was too good to keep, and both gen.
tlemen had great deal of chatting to stand
to-day.
Mr., Bynum, when joked about it by Mr.
Reed, retorted that he and Mills had done
what no other member in the House had
done, and that was to have an audience
willing to pay for the privilege of herring
speech on the tariff.

Mississippi Election Frauds.


Mississippi Election Frauds.
WASHINGTON, August 1st.-The minority
report of the Senate Judiciary Committee
on the Jackson, Miss, political riots was
submitted to-day by Senator Pugh to the
Senate. The minority says the hearings
were held with closed doors, and in Wash
ington, more than a thousand miles from
the locality Of the transaction. Hence, the
members of the committee had no oppor-
tunity of examining the great mass of wit
nesses who were on the ground. The re-
port follows every detail of the occurrences
under investigation. 1t says
This conspiracy of Meow and Baldwin
to eliminate the negro vote and secure the
cooperation of the Committee of One
Hundred is suggestive of the methods by
which those Southern outrages are manu-
factured for political purposes"
II declares that Baldwin stands i'm
peached as utterly unworthy of credit, 1t
finds the evidence against Federal officials,
reported by the majority, as " unimportant,
untrustworthy and Illegal" 1t is not
shown, the minority say, that any one of
the Federal officers incriminated by the
committee did single illegal act, or did or
advised in the doing of such. The report
is signed by Senators Pugh, Hoar, Vest and
George.

Eagan, ex-President of the Irish National
League, speaking of the Parnell Commits

Parnell in the Commons against Joseph
Chamberlain, Eagsn said he knew during
the whole time that Chamberlain was
communicating Cabinet secrets to the Irish
party. Chamberlain's object was to under

lCopyigRt, 1855. blythe California Associated Pressl
New YORK, August 1st.-Congressman
Morrow was interviewed regarding the i'm
migration question this morning at Castle
Garden. He said he did not see how, un-
der the present law, convicts and paupers
can be kept out, but he believed his bill
before Congress contained effective provis-
ions. Californians," he said, "were
deeply interested in the present investiga-
ton, because they think it will give the
Eastern people an insight into their strug-
giles against the Chinese. The people here
are threatened similarly.
"There is adherence between the class of
the two evils. The objectional immigra-
tion here is apparently part of social sys-
tenn, but at the same time is menace to it,
while the Chinese are as separate and dis
tinct as they are in their own country. As
| people they are objectionable. European
immigrants are only Objectionable as in
dividuals" Mr.. Morrow thinks the inves-
tigation will prove Of value, giving the pub
lis for the first time thorough understand
ing of immigration.
