POINTED REPORT.
The Cherokee Commissioners Make Some
Valuable Suggestions.

The Cherokee Commissioners Make Some
Valuable Suggestions.
ST. LOUIS, December 30th What pur-
ports to be a synopsis of the Cherokee
Commissioners report to Congress is
fs6tlcsf oP Tffe vdttJSgac the Gjlatory
to the Government, and denounces the
action of the cattlemen in making fictitious
bids for Indian lands.
The report recommends that the Govern
ment avail itself of its undeniable right,
under Section 10 of the treaty of 1876, to
settle civilized Indians on the unoccupied
lands in the Cherokee Nation proper, and
the payment of such sums as shall be
agreed upon by the Indians, or in case of
their disagreement, the price per acre to be
fixed by the President by the payment of
50, 500 GOO to the Cherokees in full for 10-
900 600 acres now occupied by the tribes
west of the seth degree, which could be
opened to settlement, while on the other
hand 81 900, 600 expended for the Cherokee
outlet would only secure 6 600 900 acres, in
ferior in quality to the lands now owned
by the Government but occupied by Indi-
ans vino have no title TO the soil. but only
the right to its occupancy at the Govern
ment's pleasure.
The Commissioners also suggest the
opinion that the alleged Cherokee Ma
ton" with laws passed and administered
by white men who are really United States
citizens, has become extinct by virtue of
the long continued intermarriage between
Indians and whites, and ask if, in a strict
sense, Justice warrants the distribution of
Indian annuiies and other revenues
equally among white United States citi-
zens and full blood Cherokees.

THE sLAv AND HUN.
An Organization to Drive Out an Unde-
sirabie Glass of Labor.

CoNNELLsvILLE (Pa.), December 30th.-
With the beginning of 1899 it is quite
likely that a movement will be inaugu-
rated which will rid the Connellsville coke
regions of the Slav and Hun, two very un-
desirable classes of residents, who have
been more than unusually urruly during
the year just closing.
These classes have demonstrated their
uselessness as residents, and it is rumOred
that the Order of United American Me-
chanics Will begin crusade against them
which will eventually oust them from the
region. The business men of Connells-
vile, and, indeed, all the towns in the re
eion, are also interested in this matter.
The Hun aud his kindred spirits are not
taxpayers, and it is argued that if they
were repl ced by an intelligent and law
abiding body of workers, business interests
would be much improved, for it is claimed
that the presence OF The Hun and bis
many depredations keep capital and enter
prise away.
1t is not known in what manner the
members of the Order vii! proceed, but
their attempt will be watched with interest

NAPA, December 3Oth.-After two days

early hour this morning. The roads are
very soft. The farmers living few miles
south and west of town are compelled tc
put four horses to spring wagon. The
precipitation for the last twenty -four
hours was IL of an inch. The season s
total fall is 21 05.

REDDING, December 30.h.-There was a

lone, December 30th.-After three days

all classes of business is dull. While 1899
inches of rain have fallen for the season
it has not flooded the low lands as in other
years, because it falls at short intervals, al
lowing the streams to run down. Farmers
are encouraged with the prospects fer good
crops for the next two years
RED BLUFF, December 30th.-It rained
hard here last night and continued until 9
O'Clock this morning. About quarter of
an inch fell. 1t rained heavy in the noun
tains and the snow is melting fast. Some
apprehension is felt of another flood if the
rain continues. There has been but little
loss of stock. On Saturday night the ice
was nearly three inches thick There has
been no damage done to fruit trees or
vines.

The Heaviest Snow-Storm of the Season
Travel Impeded.
ST. PAUL, December 30th.-Advices re-
ceived here seem to indicate that the great
snow storm of Saturday extended over a
large area. Rumors were rife in the news
paper offices that many wires west of here
were down and travel delayed.
The center Of disturbance appears to
have been at Huron, where the wind veered
to north and the storm increased until it
became veritable blizzard, blowing fifty
miles an hour. The memorable expert
ences of TWO years ago prevented the peo-
pie from unduly exposing themselves on
the prairies, and no bad results are antici-
pated.
The storm has been marked in places by
singular phenomena. at Winona lain
descended in great sheets and the whole
city was flooded. When the rain stopped
the mercury fell rapidly TO 800 in three
hours. People can start to business this
morning. At other points electrical dis
turbsnces were preceded by fall of snow.
Duluth was visited with severe bliz-
zard, ushering in the heaviest snowfall OF
the season. Much damage has been done
in the city, and street cars are blockaded.
Trains are delayed by drifts six feet deep
in many places.

1t Has Moved from New England to the
Mississippi Valley.
WASHINGTON, December 3Oth.- The
Treasury Department has been somewhat
agitated over the demands which are pour
Ing into the ears of tie offiCias from New
York for more money, and Saturday morn
ing Secretary Window and Treasurer Hus-
ton had conference in regard 10 the prop
osition made by several financial autbori-
ties, for the issue of checks for the January
interest in advance OF The regular period.
The situation seems to be rather embar-
RAISING for it involves the premOnition of
the future policy of the administration 10
some degree. The difficulty arises rather
paradoxcally from the great prosperity of
the country in It's agricultural and manu-
featuring helds. In one espse money was
never freer or more abundant but this con-
dition exists in every place where the
tinanciers do not care for it 10 exist,
namely, everywhere but in New York.
The discovery OF natural gas ard of
efficient means to convey it from it's sources
to distant places of consumption, aud the
opening up of additional TRANSPORTATION
facilities have had 4 marked effect upon
commerce.
The geography of the country is shifting
the center OF industry from New England
TO the valleys of the Ohio aud Mississippi,
where factories are in operation at every
possible point.
There is no complaint from producers
and merchants of the manufacturing or
agricultural districts of the siringency of
money, cor in fact they can obtain all the
loans they wauE at reasonable rates but
this unusual prosperity is having its direct
etfec- upon the money market il the great
metropolis. and the truth is beginning to
become evident that an increase in the
coanry's currency will soon be nece- sary
in order TO keep pace with the opening up
of so much new producing territory.
One Of the causes Of the New York tight
ness is the inability OF the railroads to
carry the freight that is being hesped upon
them in enormous quantities Cars aud
trains are bluckaded, causing dizziness in
sJme markets.
Secretary Window, after the conference,
directed the prepayment of the Interest due
