congress. The task before the COM
missioners is OF a far different charac-
ter from that pursued by the Sioux COM
mission. The Cherokees are by no
means savages or half civilized. They
are to all intent and purpose equally rs
intelligent rs white men. They have
regularly constituted government,
constitution, congress, courts ana
officials modelled after the gov
ernment OF the United states.
The negotiations for the sale
OF their lands will consequently pass
through constitutional ana legal meth
DDS before they can be ratified or re-
jected. In other words, the United
States stand in very much the same re-
lation to the Cherokees and Choctaws
of the Indian territory as this country
would stand to Mexico or Canada IN
treating for cession of territory by pur-
chase. Under such circumstances the
government cannot proceed in an arbl-
trary manner against these Indians
should they reject the propos-
ais. Treaties exist between the
government and the Indians
which can neither be violated nor
set aside by the commission or by con-
gress without rejecting seriously on the
nation s honor. The Independence OF
the Cherokees, their wealth and their
disinclination to part with their lands
demand the greatest diplomacy in treat
ing with them. Unless they can be
made to see that the opening of the
Cherokee strip will be to their advant-
age politically and materially, it Is not
likely they will be in n hurry to ac-
cept the governments terms of pur-
chase

with a spotless collar, well-kept side
whslScrs and dark curling hair, was run
into police headquarters this morning. He
had been caught begging by Officer Pound,

caught asking charity from house to

that he was healer, meaning a faith cure
all or Christian science doctor. Tho
marshal told him as he was skipped into the

people physically and morally crippled, and
he doubted not tnat he would be able TO

UNCLE JOSH PLAYS FARO.
Denman Thompson Said to Have
GambIed With Disastrous Results.

NEW York, August 10 Special Tele-
gram to TIE BEE. -"Denman Thompson has
lost 500, 900 at faro during the summer"
This was the big topic yesterday among
theatrical gossips, and 1t kept them busy.
Thompson made Sl20,00O last season at the
Academy of Music. When the season closed
he had round hundred thousand in the Bank
Of the Metropolis. Instead of going to
his place at Swansea he remained in town and
to make up for the excitement of the theater
took to that of the green cloth. He got in
with syndicate of gamblers who run an es
tabishment at SlS Broadway and at various
times since the first of May, parted with all
his money. Thompson's manager, Gilmore,
denies the report, saying that Thompson has
no money In his own name. His earnings
were given to his wife regularly every week
and she kept an account at the Bank of the
Metropolis. She drew out the money to pay
the company and meet the regular expenses
of business, and 1t would be impos siDle for
her husband to lose a large amount Of money
without her consent and connivance

Telegram to THE BEE. Colonel William

tced that his visitors were all

at all pleased with the candidacy of General
Palmer for the United States senate. He is,

One of the men in conference with him
said: "Yes, think Colonel Morrison is op-
posed to the advanced candidacy of Palmer
for the senate. He reasons on the ground
that Palmer's candidacy is in opposition to
the best interests of Illinois,"

There are ten thousand odd methods
by which men obtain a livelihood in
New York. One of the queerest is that
pursued by men who visit the various
saloons about town, and with piece
of common soap decorate the inevitable
mirrors found in these places. The men
who follow this precarious calling are
artists in their way, and exhibit great
taste as well as remarkable dexterity,
In picturing landscapes, figures and
outline portraits of eminent men. The
effect of these drawings is generally
pleasing, and when we'll done, add con-
siderably to the decoration of the room.
Of course for the time the soap sketch
remains on the glass, the mirror is rem
dered useless, so far as its original pur.
pose is concerned. The thing is still a
novelty, and the more skillful of these
soap artists are in great demand, and
although the price they receive for their
work is small, energetic "soapograph-
ers" las they are pleased to call them
selves J, manage to exc out fairly COM

Something Aboutthe Finest Buddhist

The Burmese are Buddhists, and

time In his life 10 bea priest. The edu-
cation Of the children Is by the priests,
and the of the population get their
education In the monastic schools. You
find Buddhist monasteries and Bud
dhist temples everywhere, and there is
here at RaDgoon the finest Buddhist
monument In the World. 1t ranks
with the Tai Mahal as one of the great
curiosities Of India, and il Is the oldest
and finest place of workship in Indo-
China. IL Is the shway Dagohn pagOda,
or 1.-THE golden pagoda.n Imagine a
mountain of gold rising terrace after
terrace from a mighty platform, and
growing smaller as 1t goes upward, un-
til it at last pierces the skies In golden
spire, the top of which is three hundred
and seventy feet from the ground.
Make the base so large that 1t is quar-
ter of mile around its outer golden
rim, and let the slope of the terraces go
upward in the bell-like stories to the
distance Of one hundred feet from the
ground. There is not block in your
city as large as the base of this m0nu.
ment, and its top is higher than any
building in America, save the monu-
ment at Washington. It's spire Is taller
than that of st. Paul's Cathedral at
London, and the whole glistens under
the blazing sunlight as though it were
solid gold. At its top there is now a
scaffoldiDg, for the great golden umbrel-
la, which the last king of Burmah be-
fore Thebaw gave to 1t, Is being restored
to Its place, and the jewellers are work.
ing upon this in the shreds at its base.
This umbrella is a great circular piece
of gold, which Is studded with Jewels,
any one of which would be a fit we'd
ding present for princess. 1t cost
more than two hundred thousand gold
dollars when it was made, eighteen
years ago. But not long since the wind
shook 1t from its mooriDgs, and jewels
and gold came down to the ground.
This mighty pagoda has cost millions
of dollars. It is of brick and stucco,
covered with gold leaf as fine as that
ever put into an American tooth, and
as costly as that which covers the new
gold frame which surrounds Mrs.
Hayes picture in one of the White
House parlors. It has been regilded
