ST.. LOUIS, Mo, Sept. 24.-Congress-
men Springer of Illinois, Baker of New
York, Mansur of Missouri, and Allen OF
Mississippi, arrived from the Indian
Territory last night. Besides the above
named there were in the party Congress-
men Pertains and Peters of Kansas and
Rogers of Arkansas. They are unani-
mously of the opinion that the Cherokee
patent to the strip is only an easement
and by no means fee simple. They say
that the Cherokees have abandoned it by
turning it over to cattle syndicates and
that conse quently it must and will
revert to the government. One OF the
earliest duties OF Congress, they say, will
be to open it to white settlement. A
discussion Of the Cherokee strip question
with the Cherokees at Vinits proved oon-
clusively that they have no inten-
ton of parting with the strip vol
UNFAIRLY. The committee favora
action upon the Oklahoma territorial
government matters as soon as
Congress shall meet, They want the
homesteaders to have title after IS
months settlement instead of five years,
as at present required. The passage of
the old presumption law will also be rec
commended. The committee believe that
the cities and towns should be secured in
their title to city lots as soon as possible,
that other towns outside of Oaklaham
such as Muskogee and Purcell should be
given town site privileges and that the
citizens should be allowed to negotiate
for city lots and hold them in fee simple.
Mr.. Springer said that this matter would
receive his earliest attention. In oonolu'
sion the delegation is of the opinion that
the opening of millions Of acres Of land
next spring, the bull ding of the railroads
nov in contemplation and the oiVilizing
influence Of the whites will make of the
Indian Territory grand state of the
Union at no distant date.

CHIoAdo, Sept. 19.-The morning
papers all denounoe yesterdays sensa-
tional story about Lecaron's daughter as
having furnished evidence that DIR.
Oronin was murdered by emissaries of
the British government. As a report OF
so.oslled triangle, The Times says
Another scheme on the part of defence
and one which has in view nothing less
than the absolute clearing Of the Oronin
suspects aud creation Of public ,senti
ment in their behalf was sprung on the
public yesterday.
In boldness OF design il is quite equal
70 that OF the stupendous conspiracy that
murdered DR.. Cronip. How or from
what source came the first intimidation
of what the character and nature OF the
Cronin defence was to be nobody knows.
But suddenly and simultaneously in all
the afternoon papers there appears plan
of defence, SO skiliully bold as TO blind
the average reader and make him believe
that this crafty devised story is reality.

WAsuINaros, Sept. 23.-There IS some
thing strange about the announcement Just
made that France had apologlzed and made
reparatiop for the unwarrantad arrest OF
the Van Nostrand ladies' OF Brooklyn at
Mentone in France. Oae of the highest
officials in the State Department told the
World correspondent to-day that nothing
had been done In the matter since Mr.,
Blaine went on his vacation. The IN.
nouucement now made is said to be based
on correspondence which closed six weeks
or two months ago, and yet within that
time Assistant Secretary Wharton said that
1t seemed as II this government had no
ground upon which to demand any apology
or even to make complaint. and within
the same time the Van Nostrand5 have
grumbled and said that the State Depart.
ment had utterly failed to pay proper at
tention to the case. Moreover, the State
Department even now refuses to make pub
lie any Of the official correspondence or to
give any particulars.

HE Docs Not Believe I'm the Exist
ence of n Personal Devil.

chtG Vh u Deths
CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-The Rev. II. II. Bar
Church, created sensation In the Baptist
ministers meeting by reading paper at
this mornings session, in which he denied
the existence OF u personal devil, and
treated the passages from scripturespeaktng
OF such u parsonage as tiguIative and not
literal. Perhaps the moet astonishing part
OF his paper WAS that which treated of the
temptation of Christ In the wilderness. Mr..
Barbour said:
"Jesus was notactually led down into the
wilderness Immediately after His baptism,
for he was already there. He did not
maintain an absolute fast, for, II SO, He
must have been miraculously sustained, In
which case ha would have been free from
hunger end from the suffering which made
the temptation to turn stone into bteud.
The wilderness WAS not a barren wnste. but
merely a woody and mountainous part OF
Jldea, with vineyards, olive groves and
many fruit trees Astounding 10 It. Christ
was not literally taken to the Holy
CITY and set upon pinnacle of
through the air, he would have
wrought miracle, and only God eau do
that had the dsvil attempted 70 walk with
Chtlst 10 tle temple, II journey OF 20 or 30
miles, during which the fact could readily
have been ended, and then to its pinnacle,
no would have been frustrated, for by Law,
no foreigner could pass the first enclosure
or court OF the temple under pain Of death !;
the Jewish people could not pnas the seq
ond and the priests alone could enter the
third, In which the temple was. And though
the devil m0nk or priest would be for the
occasion, Chris. would not falsely assume
the character"
Mr.. Barbouf's paper was followed by a
storm of unfavOrahe comment and will be
the subject OF discussion at next Mondays
