sIeCis1 &c ire Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March 18-The tariff
bill will be reported on Friday, the
greatest reduction being on sugar, this
alone amounting TO $40 900 900. It is
the impression among Democrats that
many Republicans will kick over the
party traces in the house, the bill being so
radical in ITS duty reductions. They think
the farmers will chafe considerably
under the hill if passed and will have to
nav high duties on their farming imple-
ments, lumber, salt, wool, clothing and
barbed wire The sugar men i'll the
house will shortly hold confer
ence and determine what TO do.
At present there are quite
number who will fight the sugar schedule
on the floor, even i'll defiance of party
dictations. The total sugar duty is
double that of the Mills bill last year.

MAYEs' LETTER.
Regarding the Cherokee negotiations
the Post this morning says: The letter
of Chief Mayes 10 tine president, in
which he sets forth the claims of the
Indians in regard to the Cherokee Strip.
is forcible presentation Of the
case. Although heavily charged
with spirit or satire and sar-
casm, the letter points out many glar-
ing Inconsistencies in the government
dealings with the Indians aud it does this
in such manner as TO carry conviction.
No doubt the Cherokee Strip is very
tempting to the boomers, and it Is
natural that they should regard
the punishment of the Cattlemen as
but first step in the direction
of the fulfIlment of their hopes and
therefore they were perfectly justified in
anticipating the wrestling OF the land
from the Indians. The president 8 latest
order, however, will convince the impa-
tent boomer that such is not the case
ders of the government will be such as
to reassure the Indians that they are TO
be treated in good faith.
