Cherokees may be settled upon Cherokee
nation lands. This should not be confused
with article l6, which relates only to the
Cherokee outlet. Article 10 provides that
Indians friendly to the Cherokees
and who have abandoned their tribal
relations may be settled in the Cherokee
nation by first obtaining consent Of tho
Cherokee council. They may thus be in
corporated in the nation as citizens on an
equal footing with the Cherokees them
selves. II further provides that the friend
ly Indians maintaining their tribal organ
with the Cherokee laws, may be allotted
100 acres for each man, woman and child
If the Cherokee council shall ratify such
agreement, In case of fnon-ratiiication the
president of the United States may settle
the friendly Indians II he deems tho Chero-
kee councils reasons for non-ratifcation
to be not good and sufficient.
Thus it may be seen the government has
the power to settle not only the strips in
question but the home proper itself Judge
Wilson processes not to know the
governments policy as to this. But for
himself he is In favor of settling the In
dians knee deep on the Cherokee lands.
Should they decline to part with their
claim to the strip Judge Wilson'S views are
also entertained by the other commis-
sioners.
The Cherokee commissioners recOmmen-
dations will undoubtedly be acted upon by
the government So it is safe 20 say the
Cherokee lands will either be opened to-
white settlement or else completely covered
with wild tribes.

EAST AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE
LONDON, October %. Letters from zanzi-
bar received at the office Of the anti-slaverv
society here report that the buying and
selling Of human chattels IN the streets Of
that city is being carried on with scarcely
an attempt at concealment. A weekly
market is held al which slaves are boldly
exposed to the gaze Of intending buy
ers, and in many cases each
slave carries placard suspended
from his neck upon which is written the
price at which he can be bought. Women
are not usually ticketed in this way, but
are sold for what they will fetch, the ordi-
naryprice being from f8to ff0 each, If they
are young. The merchants who carry on
the traffic are not all Arabs but il appears
to be well understood In Zan-
zihar that there Is q rich firm OF
traders, every member Of which halls from
England, furnish all the capital to conduct
the business and that by far the largest
share of their immense yearly profits is
derived from this traffic. All local oificials
IN Zanzibar are SAID TO be in the pay of this
firm, who purchase immunity bys bribing
the authorities from the highest to the
lowest, and so complete is their influence
that no complaint receives the slightest at
tentiOn.

WASHINGTON, October 22.-Judge Mat
thew P. Deadly, of the Oregon Fed
eral circuit and district court
before whom the famous Sharon case was
brought to hearing, is in Washing
ton. Judge Deadly wrote an opinion de-
claring the famous marriage contract a
forgery, and Judge Sawyer wrote concurr-
ing opinion.
Being interviewed by a Post reporter,
Judge Deadly said: II came east as a
delegate to the Episcopal conven-
ton in New York. Yes, l sat in
the Sharon-Hill case. The fact is
that woman was merely his xistress
he gave her $500 month, furnished mag
nifcent quarters and spent money on her
lavishly. Her influence on Judge Terry
was undoubtedly bad. She urged him to
acts beyond even his own inclination. In
November she will be tried before me for
resisting the authorities. 1t is very likely
that she may at some favorable opportu-
nifty attempt the lives of Justice Field,
Judge Sawyer or myself l predict she will

Startling Report Of Starvation and Destitu
In Dakota From DrOuth.


CHICAGO, October GA special dispatch
from st. Paul, Mimi, Says the relief COM
mittee Of the chamber of commerce has
presented startling report on the destitu-
ton existing in Dakota. In substance it
says the suffering and destitution are much
greater than hasye been reported. The
report continues: Ramsey county has
population of 1000 people. OF
these about 5000 are engaged In
farming. The frosts of last year
cut off the crops generally and farmers were
obliged to mortgage their farms for food,
provisions, clothing, ETC., TO carry them
through last winter and this spring. Per-
sonal property, such as stock, machinery,
ETC., was mortgaged for seed and funds to
put in the crop, There has
been continued drouth throughout
the entire season and crops have
been almost a total failure. Borrowed
funds are entirely exhausted as well as the
credit of large number of these people,
and we find that in Ramsey county alone
there are from 200 to 500 families, farmers
generally, that are entirely destitute. In
Nelson and Walsh counties there is also
great destitution and suffering, and there
are probably in this district
of North Dakota not less than 1000
families who are nearly or entirely desti-
tute. We find also that there is district
in South Dakota that is in like condition.
1t is important that this devastated district
should receive some assistance immedi-
ately."
