GOVERNMENT SUPREME.
No Competition in the Purchase of In
dian Lands can be Recognized.
The Indians Can't Sell Their Reservations to
Private Corporations without the
Consent of Congress
The oherokee strip bands. ,

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Reeent dis
patches from the Indian Territory state
that the Cherokee cattle company have
offered to lease the lands of the Cherokee
Strip from the Indians for a term of
years at a large rental. 1t is further
stated that probably the company will
eventually buy the land from the Indians
The commission recently appointed by
the president to negotiate with the In
dams for the purchase of the lands for
the government, with view of their be-
ing thrown open to public settlement,
are about to begin their labors, and it is
the opinion of the interior department
officials that these offers, alleged to have
been made bye the cattle com
pany cannot be accepted. Many of
the more intelligent Indians are
perfectly aware of the paramount right
of the United States to these lands, and
that the Indians can neither sell nor lease
them without the consent of the govern
ment. Secretary Noble was questioned
as to the purpose of the government in
the event of an attempted consummation
of the proposed lease or sale. He said he
did not care to discuss the matter at
present, but would say, however, that
the government would recognize no COM
petitor for these or any other lands in
which it had an interest. If the interests
of private parties conflict with those of
the government the former, he said
must certainly be put to one side.

BROS.
DALLAS. TEX

a brother of Pennington OF his illicit
connection with Mrs. Pennington, and
the latter learned of it from this brother.
His wife, it is said, acknowledged that
she had been false to him, and said that
she intended to kill herself. He notified
all the druggists not to sell her any poi
son. She went to one drug store and
asked for morphine and was given qui-
nine instead. She took a large quantity
of it. AS soon as she discovered her mis-
take she swallowed a large quantity of
turpentine which would probably have
killed her but for the timely arrival of a
physician. She again tried to kill herself
by striking herself with a fatIron. She
afterwards took quantity of laudanum
and is now very low. Pennington has
one child, little girl, and is much dis
tressed over the sad affair
Speers had been visiting Pennington IS
house frequently, and was great friend
of the nephew of Pennington's. Speers
has not yet been arrested, though the
officers are after him.

and Kennedy as tellers, said that only
three were against him. The case was
this morning taken from the jury to the
court and the defendant discharged on
the ground that the ordinance under
which the Indictment was drawn had
never been published. This puts the city
in awkward shape, all business under
the revised ordinances transacted dur
