Ill Feeling Between the Tribes.

FORT GARRISON, I. T., July o.
The Cherokee commission was met
here yesterday by a delegation of
Creek Indians headed by Indian
Agent Bennett, who asked that the
Creeks be heard at once in reference
to certain technical matters concern
ing the sale of their remaining lands.
The request was granted and Gen.
Fairchild has arranged to meet the
Creeks at Muscogee today. The hard
feeling between the Creeks and Cher
okees grows more bitter as pending
negotiations come to focus. The
Cherokees upbraid the Creeks
for the Oklahoma deal, and their in
dignation increases as the Greeks
make further preparations to sell.
The Cherokees are almost unit in
their opposition to any and all trans
actions by which their lands are to be
marketed. Chief Mayes demon STRAIT
ed firmness in refusing to call the
council that bids fair to handicap the
labors of the commission at their out
set. He is reported to have pub
licly stated to the commanding
officers at Fort Gibson that he
would not call an extra session
under any circumstances. Gen. Fair
child expressed desire to confer with
the chief at Tahlequah, as soon as
possible, ostensibly with the object OF
inducing him to call an extra session
at once. During the delay that must
ensue before the delegates assemble,
the General says the commission will

thorities it may be several months

Shameful Whiteoap outrages.

ST. LOUIS, July 26.-Information
comes from Gillespie, ILL.,, that while
Henry Bokamp and his wife were
riding near that town last Monday
evening, they were taken from their
buggy by an armed band of white
caps, who took shameful liberties
with the woman and strung Bobamp
up to a tree three times. the last
hanging proving so near fatal, that
be was only revived by administra-
ton of medicine. They then left him.
The reason of the outrage is said to
have been from suspicion that Bo-
kamp had committed petty lar
ceny. The case has been put
in the hands of Col. Oller, a
criminal lawyer of Litchfield,
who. says that while at Gillespie,
yesterday looking into the affair he
was warned by a man who claimed to
be captain of the White Caps that if
he came nosing around there, he
would get a thicker rope than the one
they gave Bokamp. The Colonel
says he has spotted the perpetrators
of the outrage and will prosecute
them to tine extent of the law.

THE 5. =. p. STRIKE.
The Boys Want Their Pay--No
Money, no Work, no
MOnkevIDC

There were about forty employees OF
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
met according to previous notice at
Simon TESTS store on South Flores
street at half past eight last evening
to consider their grievances and come
70 conclusion concerning the same.
Failure of the company TO meet their
agreement, to send out the pay car
regularly on the - of each month,
was the alleged grievance. 1t was
stated in the meeting by Sevaral pres
ent that nearly twO-thirds of those
who worked on the road outside of
this city had received no pay for May,
that the boarding house keepers
could not cash the time checks given
them for board and were dunning for
their pay. After consultation a COM
mittee was appointed to telephone
paymaster Hansel and to wire other
by the committee in carrying out the
decision reached here. Mr.. Hansel
telephoned that he would probably
pay off to day or Saturday.
The men seemed unwilling to ac-
cept this statement and declared that
too many promises of that sort had
been made only to be broken. That
he had promised to send out the
pay car on the 25th and it had not
been done. "Where is the pay car
today? That is what we want to
know" was frequently remarked.
Mr.. Hansl says that most of the May
roll has been paid and that he asked
for hold off until p. m. today but
it was not granted. The conclusion
reached was to permit no cars to run
today but the mail cIrs and to tie
everything else up.
A meeting of about 81 employees of
the Arkansas Pass road was held last
night at San Pedro Park. A grievance
committee, consisting of Messrs.
Burke, Krisch and Callaghan, was
appointed, and they will notify the
road officials that they will give them
"a hours time, commencing from 6
O'Clock this evening, in which to get
the pay car out, or they will strike.
They represent the Maintenance
of Way, Motive Power and
Transportation departments of the
road. If no pay is forthcoming they
will stop all freight trains and only
let the mail car run through. The
switch engines will be killed and the
switch at the depot will be locked.
The men are striking for their May,
June and July pay and for payment
of all time checks of discharged men,
who have heretofore been compelled
to discount these at 10 per cent.
Mr.. B. F. Yoakum is now in New
York, and the men have been refused
their money by the paymaster, who

WHAT might pass muster III a
democratic official both as to incom-
petence and extravaganza will not
necessarily go down in republican
office holder. Every republican in
office is primarily aid especially COM
mitted to greater honesty, greater
carefulness and more jealous watch
care and zeal fer the purity of the
pnblic service than his democratic
progenitor. The appointment of Cor
poral Tanner as pension commits
sioner is no exception to this rule
Corporal Tanner like Private Dalzell
had made himself notorious as q rep
resentative of the boys in blue by his
erratic ways, and to this there were
no exceptions taken, but as pension
commissioner only the most absolute
compliance with plain and obvious
law can be tolerated. In his inter-
probation of law it will be natural
and proper that his sympathies be
with the union soldiers and not with
their enemies. This much was hoped
for, but no Irregularities in promo
tions, no class rulings, will be per-
mitted. Mr.. Tanner will find that
the republican party over and above
all else will demand such administra-
tion of his office as is fairly consistent
with the regulations governing the
pension office. Thorough sympathy
with the disabled soldiers and a
hearty advocacy of their claims is
not a disqualification for the office of
commissioner, it is a decided qualifi-
cation, but sympathy must not de-
throne judgment, nor care for soldiers
be taken at the expense Of the just
claims of the peopI..
