Negotiations for she Outlet Uncer
mOnfOuSiy Ended.

KANSAS CITY, December 13.-The
journals Tahlequah, l. 7. special says
The United States Commission has
failed in its negotiations with the Chero-
KEGS for the sale of the Cherokee tout.
Lett" and will leave for Washington to-
morrow. The committee appointed by
the Cherokees met the commission on
Monday. and asked the latter to request
the Government to treat with the In.
dams under the section of the law which
allows them to Offer more than 81 .25 per
acre for the land. Several trivial ques-
tions were also asked the sten-
ographer of the commission in
the interview. When the report was
Transcribed the Commissioners replied
that the questions were trivial and did
not deserve an answer. The Indians re-
piled that the stencgraphic report of the
interview was incorrect, and had been
faleified by the stenographer. The COM
mission made answer that the charge
was deliberate falsehood, and notified
the Indians that all negotiations were at
an end as far as tie present commission
was concerned. A personal note was cent
to each member of the Indian committee
charging each with deliberate falsehood,
and informing each that the allegation
against the lady stenographer was as
contemplate as it was false. This cor.
respondence has caused great excite.
ment. A delegation of full-bloods called
on the commission this evening and told
them that all the full bloods were willing
to sell at $1.25 per acre.

NEW ORLEANS, December 14-Fire
broke out at p. m. In the Allen House,
rs st. Charles street. There were q
number Of boarders and dodgers in the
house, including Frederick Ward and his
theatrical company. They escaped in
their night clothes, leaving everything
behind them. They escaped by jumping
out on the roof of an adjoining building.
Some of those who escaped were badly
hurt. The fire is burning fercely, and it
i, feared that all the inmates have not
escaped.
Frederick Rand, an actor belonging to
the Nellie McHenry theatrical company,
escaped with number of ladies of the
troupe from the burning building, but
was himself badly hurt and sent to the
hospital. Thomas O'Nesl (colored)
jumped from the burning building and
WAS badly hurt and sent to the hospital.
w. III. Leitel and wife were among the
theatrical party who escaped.
2 rs q. m.--The fire is gaining and the
whole block is in jeopardy.
MIR. Leitel says he Was aroused from
sleep by an explosion which occurred
near the head of the stairs on the sec.
ond floor, cutting off their escape by the
stairway. They were therefore COM
PEELED to jump to the roof OF an adjoin-
ing building, and, crossing over two
other buildings, finally reached place
of safety. The police think now that all
the inmates of the burning building cue
ceeded in getting out. The fire is under
control.

THERE is a strong need in come of oul
courts for the enforcement of good man.
ners on the part of certain attorneys.
The attractions Of decorum often pass all
reasonable limits. The attorneys in
their intercourse with each other fire.
quently transcend all bounds of decency
and as to their treatment of witnesses it
is sufficient to say that it is sometimes
scandalous. It adds greatly to the dig.
nifty of judge and to the respect which
the public holds for court of law to
maintain decorum in all cases tried be-
fore him. It sometimes requires little
nerve at the start to secure this, but
when it is once understood that Judge
cannot be trifed with the occasion will
seldom arise for his asserting himself.
We throw out these remarks for the ben
eft OF those whom it may concern.

KANSAS Cry, December 13.-Mexican
Vice.Consul Rahden claims to have dis
covered that large amount of fraudu-
lent Mexican bonds are floating around
in Kansas City, and that many persons
in Missouri and Kansas have been VIC

have been placed in the two States
named, and in many instances banks
have been caught. The history OF the
bogus bonds dates back in the early six
tiee, when the unsettled condition of
affairs offered an excellent opportunity
for the issuance of fraudulent securities.
At that time over 81 900, 900 worth of
these bonds were issued. Publicity was
Immediately given to the fraud and the

The State of Missouri has taken the
vexed subject of trusts in hand with a
vigor that ought to excite the emulation
of her slower sisters. The charters of
700 Missouri corporations and 200 for
eign corporations doing business in Mis-
souri, have been revoked by Secretary OF
State Lesurer for refusing to comply with
the antitrust law. OF the 900 revoked
at least half have ceased to exist. This
action of Missouri has excited the New
York Financier to fury of denunciation.

bers of the legislature which could pass
such law as "idiots." Notwithstand

great cataclysm, financial or other, from
that State. She pursues the even tenol
of her way, and her people rejoice in the
usual quantity of hog and hominy. The
Fiaancisr seems to be rooted in the con
viction that trusts are Heavens last, bes

the money power. The New Yorl

WASHINGTON, December 13.-A num-
Der of Democratic Representatives clue-
tered around Representative Mills in the
House this morning and talked over the
effect of the Silcott defalcation on the
party's chances in the next election.
Mills was the chief spokesman, and he
laid down vigorously his opinion that the
Democrats could not afford to re.appro-
pirate the lost money to reimburse them
selves. 1t would lose the party thirty or
forty members in the next House, he
said. 1t might be that the money was
lost through no fault of theirs, and they
thought the Government responsible,
but in every close district the party
would find their opponents on the stump
and making loud proclamation, and
crying that q Democratic Sergeant
alarms had lost the peoples money,
and the Democrats had voted to
pay 1t back. 1t would lose them several
hundred votes right along, and therefore
when the campaign was over some men,
bers wonld be vainly seeking to give the
sum appropriated away to churches or
any body that would have it, as was the
case with the hack-pay grab. The best
way out of it WAS fer the Democratic
party leaders and Leedom to 20 among
their friends and raise the money and
turn it over to the treasury to make good
the deficit. He was willing himself to
give his November salary towards the
fund, and he thought other Demo-
Gratis would do the same.
AS far as can be learned no trace has
vet been found of the present where
