The President has issued
proclamation warning intending
settlers to keep off the Cherokee
strip in the Indian Territory,
which many people seem under
the impression was opened to
settlement by the passage of the
Oklahoma bill. a commission is
now negotiating with the Chero-
kee Indians for these lands, and it
is probable that they will open to
settlement IN the near future, but
they are not open now.
Representative Dodge, Of Mas
sachusetts, has introduced his
Federal election bill. 1t contains
many features similar to the
Australian system Of voting and
is intended to apply to all Con-
gressional and Presidential cleo
tons. Each polling place is put
in charge Of six judges, three
representing each political party.
Voters who cannot read and
write may have their tickets
marked by one of the judges, in
the presence Of another represent
ing the opposite party. Upon
petition Of 500 voters in any
district the Federal government
will assume full control Of the
polls under the same regulations
that apply to State control.
Secretary Tracy has become
Disguised with the tiresome, long
drawn out, red tape method of
conducting business in certain
bureaus of the Navy department
and has determined to have a
change, and in order to have it
made according to his own ideas
he has gone to the Norfolk Navy
yard to make a personal investiga-
ton into the delays that have
attended the completion Of the
cruiser Baltimore" at that yard.
Commodore Fulton, chief Of the
bureau of provisions and clothing
of the Navy department has
resigned and others may go in
consequence of the Secretary's
determination.

after mature consideration, and he
believed it to be entirely practical
Bile and also to be the best method
Of restoring prosperity to the
depressed agricultural interests.
Mr.. Stanford also stated that he
proposed using all the influence
he had to get the committee to
frame and report a bill on the
subject. The thing looks some
what startling at first glance, but
when a man of Mr.. Stanford's
business experience advances a
business proposition, it is certainly
worthy Of careful consideration.
The democrats have been indus
triously engaged for some time
past in trying to get up a political
sensation by making statements
about the enormous appropriations
this congress was to make and the
big deficiency there was to be in
the Treasury instead of surplus.

We turned our eyes from the shore to the
fleet. The vessels had approached as near the
shore ms the depth of water would admit, and
were stopping. The eager officers and men,
anxious for the honor of being the first to land,
were urging them to go still nearer.
A shrill whistle from the flagship, and every
transport stopt its engines. secopd whistle,
aud each of the scores OF coxswains, seated in
the rear of his small boat, dropt the rope with
which he had been towing the boat behind
him, and all the men graspt the oars. A third
whistle, and all the oars fell into the water,
and tho men began rowing like mad to be the
first to reach the Shore Their comrades on the
transports stimulated them with yells and
cheers to do their utmost for the honor of their
States and regiments. Many OF the boats
grounded rods from the shore, but the men and
officers leaped out into the water and waded
TO dry land. The 25th Mass. was the first to

thought of playing so Important part-prob-

lanch sprang forward, as Web gave her all the

BATTLEFIELD OF ROANOKE ISLAND.

We worked so furiously that we soon had the
Ianrh reasonably dry and a fresh fire started
uuder tho boiler. Ne then pulled off our
clothes aud wIuug them out, and by the time
we reached tho rear OF the gunboat line We
were something like ourselves, Obtaining
fresh supply Of cartridges FROM one OF tho boats,
we turned toward our now field OF action.
The spectacle developing thero speedily trans
ferred TO itself all the interest We had felt in
the bombardmcnt The myriad Of armed men
on tho transports were preparing TO land, TO
sweep in an awful human billow upon the
stronghold OF rebellion. The moment had come
for which they had waited so long-l0oked for
ward TO with unutterable longing indescribable o
hopes and fears--for which they had endured
80 much. All heretofore had been preparation
for this eliminating instant. AT last they were
10 hurl themselves, to conquer or die, upon a
foe of unknown strength. The crash and de-
strnctiyeness Of the great guns had apparently
wrought us up to tho highest pitch, bat this
spectacle brought even greater exaltation.
The transports, their decks and yards blne
with the swarming men, were moving slowly
toward tho shore Of tho island. and trailing boz
hind them long strings of boats filled with
soldiers.
Every eve was bent anxl0usly upon the i'm
