ANOTHER LARGE LAWSUIT.
The Delawares Bring an Action
Against the Nation
for S225,Ooo

TAuleouAn, Nov so, s.m
The national council has rcceiv-
ed official notice Of the institution
OF suit before the court of claims
by the Delawares under an act of
the last congress for a sum of
money aggrcgating about 1925, 900.
They claim about $2S, 400 from
the $500, 600 of March 3rd, 1888;
$40, ,920 from the S5O0,000 paid in
to the treasury in 1886; so, 400
from the 100000 received from
lease in 1883; s4,965.50 from the
money paid on account Of Ponca
Indians in 1881; $4,000 from the
100000 by act of congress, June
IS, 1880; sos, ,921.25 on account Of
the money paid by the 0sages
when deeds were made in 1883.
The matter has been referred 20
the committee on ways and means.
The amount of the claim stag.
gers many and the merits of it are
being discussed by everybody.
Many of those who have hereto
fore favored a distinction between
the Cherokees and Delawares de-
clare the nation is safe and feel
assured Of no danger. Others, of
the more intelligent class, admit
great danger at least and very
much fear the result of this suit,
saying they would rather not have
ii, and discussions heard in the
capitol and hotels indicate alarm.
This, together with the great in
flux of CLAIMS, such as the Peabody
and Phillips, besides numerous
smaller ones from every source, is
surely taxing the life blood of the
nation. If this council goes home
without making some provision
for raising funds from same source,
and the strip is not sold, the or
deal viii be a trying one for the
nation and. the future will be APP
preached with great apprehension.

TAnLErQ,m, Dec. 1900
Senate and courcil have been
busy Of late on routine work, claims
and traders licenses consuming a
great deal Of time. The claims
are still pouring in for expenses
incurred by the seizure Of those
Audrain cattle. A demand for
5000 came in to-day ON this ac-
count from Boudinot, Thompson
CIV P.) and Hastings. This, with
the claims presented and in pros
pect BY Mr.Akin will swell the ex-
pense Of that seizure to more than
$40, 900. 1t is singular, but these
attorneys charge the nation 800
to $500 for the same service they
would perform for an individual
for IS 70 S25.
The senate reclothed the council
stump bill to-day until it will not
be recognized when it gets back.
1t provides for the shipment of
down walnut and pine, at tax Of
$500 per 1000 feet for the former
and 81 90 for the latter
There is a rumor that a bill will
be presented to take $50, 600 out of
the per capita fund and apply it
to the payment Of the debts. With
the 100000 appropriated and the
debts staring them in the face the
members have stopped to think
and when they look into the future
only chaos is seen. With the
strip income gone and the internal
revenues reduced to a farcical sum
the pressure for retrcnchment and
economy is tolerably strong.
Judge McAtee, Of Caldwell, at
torney for the Strip association, is
here. He says no eR~rt whatever
will be made by the Strip men to
recover damages from the United
States government because of their
removal

ADELAYGD COMMUNICATION
The Congregational Association
at Lebanon, Mo.

One hundred and eighty miles
from st. Louis, on the Frisco, is
situated the pleasant town of Leb-
anon. Like SO many Of the towns
in the fertile valleys of that state,
Lebanon is double; there is an old
and new town, having their origin
respectively, before and after the
era of railroads; that the old town
has not grown mossy and weather
beaten but has kept its vigor and
growth speaks well for the char
acter Of its early settlers. A mark
ed feature of the new town is a
new hotel in process OF building
on a scale Of elegance which sug-
gests the great hotels at Saratoga,
the reason being the discovery of
magnetic properties in the large
spring at the western side of the
town. Large bath houses are
feature Of the hotel, one each for
the ladies aud gentlemen; the wa
ters from the spring are 10 be fur
nished hot or cold. If Lebanon
does not have a large number of
visitors with long purses, some-
body has spent money in vain, for
ii will take money to pay the in
vestment there in lands, anfi
houses aud furniture, each Of
which are on a scale of elegance
altogether unexpected. That Leb-
anon may prove all that is hoped
for it will be the wish of every
delegate TO the late convention.
The efforts Of the citizens for the
comfort OF their guests we're un-
sparing; any person who may need
to avail himself Of Lebanon's wa
ters and prefers to avoid the Disc
and hustle Of a large hotel viii
find a very pleasant home with
Mrs. Spates, near the station,
where the table is the perfection
Of neatness and the cookery ex-
cellent.
Lebanon has a large, but too
small school building under the
care OF Mr. Rubey, whose courteous

THE NATIONAL COUNCIL.
Work Progressing a Little More
Epeditiously.

Tuesday, Nov. 25th.-The coun-
Gil amended the senate bill to Gre
ate a commission to negotiate with
the Cherokee commission by max
ing the number nine instead of
five and the senate concurred.
The per capita bill was returned
from the chief with his veto. Up
on vote being taken only three
senators Gross, of Illinois, Bell. of
Delaware and Mayes, of Coowee-
scoowee) voted to sustain the veto.
Col. Ross stated just before the
vote that he was not prepared to
see the Cherokee nation buried,
having reference to the financial
condition of the country if this
money is paid out.
Wednesday, 26th. The chief
sent to the senate the names Of
Stan w. Gray, Wm.P Ross, John
son Spade, L. B. Bell, r. Bunch,
Stephen Teehee, John Wickliff
and Arch Scraper as commission
ers on the part of the Cherokee
nation and all were confirmed
without opposition. One peculiar
feature Of the commission is that
six of them are full-bloods. Many
regret that such is the case, from
the fact that much time will be
lost by Interpretation and disa-
greements that are likely to occur
with so many on the commission.
The judiciary committee report
ed fayorably the claim Of the So
licitor and sheriff Of Illinois dis
trict for a sum Of money to pay
expenses in a suit at Muskogee in
which they have been sued by
some one for false Imprisonment.
Mr.. Ross moved its payment and
Mr.. Bell to reject 1t. Mr.. Gray
moved to amend so as TO include
every officer in the district, should
they be arrested. Then Mr.. Bell
further amended to include the
grand jury. That was ''the straw"
and the bill went to a pigeon hole.
The bill to tax foreign cattle
next came up. Col. Ross attacked
the bill and made the assertion
that it was not worth the paper it
was written on. The bill provides
that all persons introducing for
eign cattle shall register the num-
Der Of cattle, brands, sex, and pay
fifty cents per head to the treas
urer. and on failure to pay it is
made the duty Of the solicitor to
bring suit for the tax and sell the
cattle to pay The same.
Among the bills presented was
one to incorporate a Fish and
Trading Company and give them
the exclusive use Of all the streams
and lakes Of she aation. Ii was

supposition was that his annual
salary covered everything required
TO be done, but it seems the com

Of the case. The demand for two
years pay at s6, 500 a year, while
no services were performed, was

that paper Of the 18th inst, do
Tending Mr. Maves from that
charge. wish TO point out the
weakness Of the writer Of said ed
itorial and how far his assertions
are from the real facts in the case
lie asserts that Mr.. Maycs has
done more to rid this country Of
inirudcrs than any man in the
nation. Now let's see. Mr. Mayes
has been chief a little over three
years; in that time the intruders
have thoroughly organized them
selves into an association for mu-
tual aid in resisting removal,
while on the other hand their
numbers have increased year by
year and they are no nearer losing
their grip" than they were when
Mr.. Maycs came into Office, Mr..
Mayes. IN his message to the coun-
Gil, fully admits the evil as it ex-
lists, but never commits himself to
any policy regarding their re.
mova. We would be glad If the
Sentinel (Which presumes to cham
pion the cause of Mr.. Mayes,)
would please tell the people in
what way he has been the foe Of
the intruder, and how has he "rid
his country" of this pest? When
Mr.. Maycs comes to the monopoly
question, his message is silent as
to plan whereby to meet this
evil. lie simply Acknowledges
its existence, and urges council TO
meet it in some way, but does not
suggest how. That the evil Of
land monopoly was a dangerous
one and had reached gignatic pro-
portions, was fully known to every
individual member of the national
ouncil. That legislation was
needed TO arrest this evil was also
fully recognized, but just what was
best to be done was the question.
They look in vain to Mr.. Mayes
for suggestion. He simply has
not committed himself to anything.
Mr. Mayes knows that the citi-
zens Of Cooweeseoowee and Della
ware districts, where this evil of
monopoly has reached its largest
proportions. arc clamorous for al
lotment, almost to a man, as the
only remedy for the evil. But on
this question he is silent. Why |
Mr.. Mayes knows also that fully |
two thirds of the land in these up /
per districts is held by white
men under lease, in direct viola
tion Of law. Why does he not see
that the laws are fully executed in
this matter? Why has not Mr.
Mayes fully applied the remedies
existing, 10 counteract this
evil ? These arc pertinent ques-
tions which ], together with
many others, would like Mr..
Maycs or his mouth piece, the
to answer. So the only
difference between Mr.. Mayes and
Mr.. Benge relative to these impor-
tant matters, is simply this: Mr..
Mayes promised to and has done
SO far 10 indicate the
policy Of himself aud party, while
Mr.. Benge has not as yet promised
anything nor expressed a single
dea as to the best way out of the
iilemma. We have not said we
we're opposed to either Mayes or
Benge but we would like to vote
ntelligently when the time comes
o choose between the two men {
md III order to do this we would |
ike to see them express them
ielves freely on the leading ques
ions, that there might be an issue
n the coming campaign.
