THE cHERoKEE OUTLET.
Chief Mayes' Message on the Subject Of SELL
Ing 1t to the United States.

ST. LOUIS, November 4.--The latest dis
patches from Tahlequah give the annual
message to be delivered by Chief Mayes to-
day to the Cherokee council. That portion
which relates to the sale of the Cherokee
outlet recommends these lands be not
ceded to the government of the United
States except il be done by change in the
constitution of the Cherokee nation He
holds the constitution forbids the sale of
lands TO any one for any reason, and quotes
that section of the constitution and COM
ments ON it at length. He accuses tie gov
ernment of dealing unfairly with the Indl-
ans, who had been promised that they
should hold their present lands when they
were removed here
"As long as the grass should grow
And the rivers should fown
He reviews the different treaties made be-
tween the Indians and the government, and
states his belief that the government has
no right to force the Indians TO sell the
lands. A change in the constitution can
be made only by submitting the question
TO vote OF the nation, and that will have
to be done by the councils authorizing
Chief Mayes to so submit 1t.
Interviews with members of the council
on the question of the sale of the strip
show that a majority of those now on the
grounds are opposed TO the sale.
