Cherokee Land Sale Debate.

TAHLEQUAH, 1. r., May 13.-The
Cherokees are somewhat exercised
over the attitude of Chief Joel B.
Mays, with regard to the sale of the
Cherokee strip to the United States.
The initial step towards a purchase is
the calling together of the Cherokee
legislature for the approval of the
sale. Chief Mays, however, refuses to
convene the legislature for such pur-
pose. The majority of Indians are OPP
posed to the sale and sustain Mays,
but powerful minority is urging him
to convene the general assembly and
settle the price to be paid for the land
1t is understood commissioners will
offer Sl.75 per acre, but the Cherokees
are not likely to accept that fig
ure, holding that $500 or S.. 100
per acre would be no more than the
land is worth. While the diversity
of opinion as to the sale at any price
is great, it is understood if the six
million acres embraced in the strip
could be disposed of for SOB, 10000 to
the government, sale might be eff
fected. Unless Chief Mays can be pre-
vailed Upon to convene the leg
islature, it would seem as if the OBJ
ject of the commissioners would be de-
feated, as no purchase can be made
without the sanction of that body.
