THE CHOCTAW COAL LEASE.
A Report to COngrsss FavOrs the Ratification
OF ths Zeal.
St. Louis Republic

st. Louis Republic.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. - The
house committee on Indian affairs
unanimously reported to-day IN favor of
the joint resolution ratifyIug the lease OF
coal claims made by Choctaw citizens to
the "Choctaw coal and railway COM
pany," finding them to be made
in accordance with law and valid
in every respect. The committee
takes the position that the finding OF the
Indian commissioner, who has devoted
four weeks TO the consideration of the
law and facts in the case, was just and
legal, but they dissent from the adverse
opinion of the secretary and assistant
secretary of the interior, the latter hav-
ing admitted in his written opinion that
the time afforded him for consideration
of the matter was too short to admit OF
thorough investigation. The committee
further holds that the constitution
of the Choetaw Nation, which has been
repeatedly recognized by the United
States, gives the Choctaw citizens the
sole right to coal discoveries; that this
right passes by inheritance from one gen.
Grafton to another; that the Choctaw Ma
will insure revenues to the Choctaw ma
tional treasury from the working of such
coal claims, and that the question of
time tor which these leases are made is
of no Importance, since the Choctaw oiti-
zen has the right TO uss his own judgment
in that respect.
The committee further shows that the
royalty paid under these leases to the
nation and individuals is the largest
known in any part of the United States;
and at q very moderate estimate the coal
taken from these leases will aggregate
to the nation and to the individuals SG3
per acre, or a total of 50 800 900; that
it will furnish an educational fund suffi-
cient for all educational purposes il
faithfully applied, and that the position
of the secretary of the interior in regard
to holding these lands undeyeloped is in
effect saying to these Indians that they
shall not do as they will with that which
is their own by treaty with the United
States and the constitution of their
nation, but shall hold the lands until
such time as the United States is ready to
absorb il at the Oklahoma price OF Sl.25
per acre.
The committee also declares that the
company, have been chartered by the
United States to build railway to their
leased coal veins, and having in good
faith invested large sums of money IN
the Indian Territory. the government is
In honor bound to protect them and SEES
that all equitable contracts made ty
them are enforced. The committee also
finds that the statement of the secretary of
the interior, that the confirmation of
these leases would create gross monop-
oily of the coal land in the Indian terri
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-09-07

tory Is not borne out by the facts. Ac-
ooreing 10 geological bureau state
ments the area of land In the Indian ter
rltory underlaid by coal exceeds 5000
square miles, while the leases held by
the Choctaw coal and railway company
cover only siXty-two square miles.
The report is very exhaustive aud up
holds the position of the company in
every respect. It Is considered great
victory for the Choctaw company, which
has been very bitterly fought by squaw
men interested in monopolizing the re-
sources of the Territory. Considerable
Indignation is manifested over the
course of Indian Agent Bennett of the
five civilized tribes, who is stationed
at Nuskogee, l. T. He is accused of
having used his official position to mis-
represent the Choctaw company and its
management TO the department and 20
congress. Among other methods pur-
sued by him, and one Morris, who
seems TO have acted as his agent, he Sc
cured g number of afidavits against the
management of the company nearly all
of them 1t is alleged, coming
from parties directly interested In
rival coal companies, and others who
are said to be engaged in an organized
effort to intrude OF Inc cOmpany's right
of way and station grounds at different
points along the road. A member said
(referring TO this today that IL ne
(Beuuett) had been the paid attorney OF
other interests in the Territory he could
not have done their work better. The
only trouble was that he overdid it and
thereby exposed the real nature of the
opposition to the confirmation of these
leases.
kilograms and petitions are pouring in
from the leading cities and towns in
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, asking
congress to ratify these leases for the
reason that the ChOctaw company has
been the first to reduce the price of Nc
Allister coal TO consumers in Texas and
adjoining states; the reduction amount
ing to from 81 to 81 per ton IL Texas,
while in Oklahoma, where consumers are
now paying 81 and SIS per ton for Colo
RADIO coal, the company has contracted
to deliver. upon completion of their line,
as good il not better coal for So a ton.

GARRATUS. THE LEPER.
Frightful Condition Of thcYucainnese
youth Stricken liz New York.

NEW YORK, July 30.-Tbe leper,
Manual Garratus, who was moved by
the health officers from his boarding
house, No. 103 East Twenty eighth
street, is in the pest house on North
Brothers Island today under senterce
Of death, from which there is no APP
peal. His disease is known rs one of
the "anasthetic' variety. 1t is char
acterized chiefly by numbness OF the
parts affected. His hands, a large
spot on his breast, and one foot are
practically dead. In these parts he
can feel no pain or sensation.
On July Is young Garratus went
to the Office of DR.. WigSin, West
Forty-eiShth street, for treatment.
The doctor had him call again, and
meantime notified the health board.
On July 20 the patient was examined,
and DR.. Hamilton, of the health board.
and Dir. Wiggin were satisfied that
the case was one Of genuine leDrosy.
Surgeon-General Hamilton, Of WASH
inSton, was communicated with as to
what action the government would
take in the matter, and the reply re
scelved from him yesterday stated that
the government only attempted to
prevent the importation of the dis
ease, and that where it actually oc-
Cured it was for the local authorite,
to deal with it. II was then removed
to North Brothers Island until his
family, who are wealthy, can provide
for him until his death.
Garratus came here from IUcatan
some time ago to learn English. His
father, mother and sister joined him
here. There is no trace of the
disease in any OF them. The young
man must have had it for nearly two
years. but he caD give no history OF
it, or even suggest where or how IL
was contracted. a year ago when
playing ball he struck the end of one
of bis fingers against the end OF the
ball, and the joint came oil without
pain. Tie wound healed and there
was no hemorrhage.
The health officers deny that there
is another man in the same house
suffering from the disease, but they
have disinfected the premises.
