WASHINGTON, January 81.-In discussing
the proposed amendment to the Samoan

Congress was to interfere in the matter
something very different from the pending

asked what that was to be done, he would
say that Congress should direct the Presi

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

John ID. Miles, OF Lawrence, has
been appointed secretary Of the
Cherokee commission. Because
of his long experience as an In
dian agent he was chosen, it being
evident that if anything was to be
accomplished, someone familiar
with Indian affairs must be con-
nected with the commission. A
Washington dispatch says: "The
plan of the commission as it is
gradually taking form is to deal lib
orally with the Cherokees and to ef-
feet a bargain if possible. 1t is
proposed to not only pay a good,
fair price for the land, but TO make
a large cash payment. This latter
feature, it is argued, will be more
satisfactory TO the tribe than TO
have the money all tied up in the
United States treasury at a low
rate of interest. The cash pay
ment, it is further argued, viii be
better for the United States, in
view Of the large amount in the
treasury. A per capita distribu-
tion of 100000 or more, with
the rest to come afterward, will
be tempting TO the Cherokees, it
is thought"
