The Honorable the Civil Service Commission.
THE QUESTIONS WE'RE CURRENT
Documentary Evidence in the Campbell
Case Discovered Since the Hearing.

The report of the committee ON civil service
reform upon the investigation of the charges
against the civil service commission is very
favorably spoken of by all who are familiar
with the case outside of those who brought the
charges.
Those who have no other knowledge of the
case except that given in the verbal testimony
on that point may be somewhat puzzled at the
conclusion of the committee that the
questions that Mr.. Campbell took
were not obsolete. There was no evidence in
the direct testimony beyond the suspicious
conduct of Mr.. Campbell on the stand that
tended to sustain the theory that
the questions were not obsolete, but
documentary evidence subsequently came
into possession of the committee, which
proved to their satisfaction that the questions
were current at the time Mr.. Campbell
copied them. Had the committee got no
other evidence than that brought out by
the examination of witnesses they would not
have had sufficient legal evidence to show
that the questions were current, but in the
search for the identity of the questions given
out they discovered sufficient evidence to sat-
isfy them that a conclusion such as they have
announced was warrantable.
MISS DABNEY's TESTIMONY.
In the report mistake is made in stating
Miss Dabney's testimony. The report says:
1T appears from the evidence of Miss Emily
NJ. Dabney that Flynn offered to sell these
questions to her, she being about to take an ex-
animation. She refused to purchase them, at
tended the examination and failed. She recog-
nized the questions as being the same shown
to her by Flynn. and consequently these ques-
tons were used in the examination held De-
cember 3, 1887
What Miss Dabney actually testified to, as the
printed record shows, was that Mr.. Flynn, be-
fore she took her examination, told her that
he would sell her the questions, but that he did
not show them to her.
She took an examination and failed. Some
two weeks or more after the examination she
went to Flynn, she said, and he then showed
her questions that she recognized as similar to
those she had had at the examination.
The committee might have concluded that
Flynn actually had the questions before the
examination, which he showed her two
weeks after the examinations; but Mr..
Oberly brought out the fact that
the papers shown to her had the answers on
them, as worked out at the examination she
attended. If this were true it would,
without any other evidence, seem
impossible that the papers could have existed
before the examination and at the time Miss
Dabney said Mr. Flynn said he had them, but
did not show them.
PRIOR SPECIAL EXAMINATION.
1t was documentary evidence subsequently
discovered on this point showing that the
questions had been answered in prior special
examination which convinced the committee
that the questions were current

ened Cheyenne Outbreak.

MILES CRY, Mon, June IA petition of
citizens of Miles City and settlers in the Chey-
enne country was drafted and sent to Col.
Swayne at Fort keough to be sent by him to
the Secretary OF War. The petition
sets forth the present trouble and
its causes and asks the government
to disarm the Cheyennes and keep them on
the reservation. Col. Curtis, Gov. Toole's
aide. has gone to Cheyenne agency to in
vestigate the trouble and to impress upon
MAI. Carroll the necessity of moving
his troops to points where they
are needed. -Four more families have
arrived here, and 1t is reported that a number
more are on the way. Linn Holt a cattle
owner, whose rancho is in the vicinity of Ash
land, the great telegraph station, has lived in
that locality since 1896, and in the vicinity of
the Cheyenne Indians since they have been
on the present reservation. He has never felt
any fears for his safety until now. About three
weeks ago he noticed change in the manner
of the Indians, and Thursday a Cheyenne
advised him to take his wife away
as there was going to be trouble.
Later trusty Indian boy told
him that the Cheyennes were going to fight,
that two of the tribes had been sent to the
Sioux agency at Standing Rock to get tine
Sioux to come and help them; that they we're
going to take Agent Upshaw's scalp sure. So
he packed up and brought his wife here.

THE CHEROKEE LANDS.
No Settlers Will BE Permitted to Enter
Until Congress Ratifies the Agreement.

The Cherokee commission that has recently
negotiated for the purchase Of the land of the
Iowa Indians and has just completed another
contract with the Sac and Fox Indians
for their lands, and is about to nego-
tiate with the Pottawatomies and other
Indian tribes in the Indian territory
is proceeding under the act of Congress ap-
proved March 2, 1882 which provides for
negotiations with the Cherokee Indians and
with all other Indians owning or claiming
lands west of the 96th degree of longitude in
the Indian territory, for the cession to the
United States of all of their title claim or
interest of every kind and character in and to
the said land. This act further provides that
any and all agreements resulting from such
negotiations shall be reported to the President
and by him to Congress at its next session and
to the council or councils of the nation or ma
tions, tribe or tribes, agreeing to the same for
ratification.
1t will thus be perceived that before any set
tier can make claims upon any of these lands
the particular agreement relating thereto must
not only be reported to the President and by
him to Congress, and until Congress ratifies
such agreement the lands are closed to settlers.
The Secretary of the Interior announces that
no one Will be permitted to go upon these
reservations any move now than heretofore
until such ratification by Congress.
