authorities to identify them 1t declares that

ter, to the recent Interpolation of the National
Rath, in which he declared that under no cir
cumstances would Switzerland share with any
power the right to police her own territory was
inadequate and unsatisfactory. 1t says, how

Attorney General Miller has given an opin-
ion to the Secretary of the Treasury that a na-
tonal bank cannot be lawfully established in
that part of the Indian Territory lying within
the jurisdiction of the Union Agency, which
extends over the country occupied by the five
civilized tribes, viz: the Cherokees, Creeks,

withstanding the bank directors shall be citi-
zens of the United States. The question arose

national bank at Muscogee, a town in the Ter
ritory of the Creek Nation. The legal objec-
tions thereto, according to the Attorney Cen

tween the United States and the Creek Ma
tion, whereby the national banking laws can be
put in operation in that Territory only by
special legislation.

bond was given that none of them would remain
in this country. The matter was referred to
the Solicitor of the Treasury, and he gave an
opinion that there was nothing in the law to
prohibit the landing of Chinese for the mere
purpose of passing through the country. Sec
retary Window. however. was not prepared to
change existing relations to this extent and di-
rected rejection of the application until the
question could be considered more thoroughly.
No further action the subject is at all likely,
however. as it is understood that arrangements
have been since made with Canadian transpor-
tation companies by which the Chinese will be
taken across the continent without the neces-
sity of entering United States territory.
