Cherokee Con f~renc. POSTPONED.

NrskoGEE L T. Aug. I.-Negotiations
with the Indian tribes Of the Territory
have ceased until the first part Of October.
1t is the aim OF the Commission to give
the Cherokees one more chanc before
making terms or treaties with other
tribes, as their acceptance of III. Govern.
ment's offer would simplify the work.
The Commissioners will therefore be pre-
sent at Tahiequah At the meeting of the
Council in October.
Should the Governments offers be again
rejected the work before the Commission
will probably be the settlement of tribes
on the Strip according to the treaty Of
1850, whereby each Indian will be allotted
100 acres OF land. After this allotment
there will be about 1000, coo acres to be
thrown open to settlement The lands,
now occupied by the various tribes would
then be rendered vacant and would like
wise be thrown open to settlement. The
probability is therefore that millions Of
acres will be opened some time mex year.
