THE .cHERoKEE STRIP.
Chief Mayes Preparing n Message Advising
Sale.


VINITA, ]. T., April 10.-A prominent
Cherokee Indian connected with the
Downing administration and warm
personal friend OF Chief Mayes states
that there will be very material change
OF front so far as the Downing admins
tration is concerned in dealing with the
Cherokee Strip question at the coming
special session of the Cherokee Legisla-
ture. What is meant by change OF
front is not generally understood,
but from what the informant
said it may be readily inferred that
Chief Mayes now favors a sale of the
Strip. It is known that Chief Mayes-
has decided to call an extra session Of
the Council about May and it is also
fact that he has the message nearly
completed, in which q conditional sale
is recommended on the ground that the
Cherokees have been harassed and
driven from door to door by the United
States Government until their condition
Is bordering upon poverty.
