States met here IN convention to-day. The
following was adopted:
ResOlUed, That the National Tobacco assO-
citation having met In conference and find
ing the views Of congress and probable &c
ton on the tobacco tax question, are unde-
VeiOped and uncertaini therefore, We believe
It advisable that the conference at the pres
ent time take no action thereon.
In the course Of an interview this after
noon a prominent member of the assOcia-
ton said to an associated press reporter that
while some of the members are in favor of a
total abolition Of the tobacco tax 1t could
safely be said that a large majority are in
favor Of nominal tax, say about cents,
for the purpose Of protecting the trade and
the public from lmpositions. 1t vas also
said that if the manufacturers succeeded in
obtaining a reduction OF the tax to a nom
inal amount a very large majority viii favor
the removal of all restrictions in regard to
the sale Of leaf tobacco.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, January I9--The bill
introduced IN the house to pay the freedmen
in the Cherokee nation the amount due them
by the CherOkees is creating considerable
feeling among the latter. The money in
question was derived from lease of SIX
million acres known as the Cherokee strip
to cattle syndicate made in 1888, at a rem
tai Of one hundred thousand dollars a year.
In april, 1856, the money, $500, 900, was dis
tribUted pro rata under the provisions of a
bill passed by the Cherokee legislature
among the CherOkees by blood only, adopt
ed citizens being ignored. An attempt was
made TO amend the bill and include all citi-
Zens of the Cherokee nation, but the amend
ment was voted down. Tue present chief
Joel Mayes, and other progressive Chero-
KEGS voted against the bill, urged an equal
distribution of the money. The bill before
congress gives the negroes a pro rata share
in the 5000 A majority of the Cherokees
hold that the negroes and other adopted cit
zens acquire no claim to moneys arising
from the leases and land sales, and that their
rights are confined solely to civil and politi-
cal affairs.

gave them to the ladies and children
Finding these not enough they brought mail
sacks from the postal car and wrapped the
