The S,l,crokaa strIn.

TAHLEQUAH. October 6.-FrCm an
official communication just received at
this place from Senator Butler, it is
learned that senate committee will
visit Tahlequah IN November for the
purpose OF ascertaining the sentiment
OF the Cherokees in regard to the sale
OF the strip. A short time ago tho com-
mittee wrote Mr.. Mayes letter asking
to be informed OF the feeling Of tho
Cherokees in reference to sale. The
letter was answered 10y the chief, who
said that several matters. including the
troublesome intruder question, would
have to be adjusted before the Chero-
KEGS would begin entering on negotia-
tions with tho government for the re-
linquishment 81 theirright to the Cher
okee strip.
To this answer Senator Butler. who
! is chairman OF the senatorial commit
tee. has just replied that the conditions
would be complied with as near Us pos
sible by the government, and that the
Cherokee commission would visit the
Cherokee nation on the lst OF NOvem-
Der for the purpose, after which they
will again resume negotiations for the
strip. There is but little doubt as to q
settlement among tho Cherokees in fa-
for OF sale OF the strip, and If the in
truder question is settled, the sale will
be made without further trouble, and
probably at a price not higher than has
been offered, $l.20 per acre. Judge
Green's decision that the Cherokees
have no title or right to the strip has
been strongly condemned by the Chero-
okees, and has created considerable In
terest throughout this country, yet it
has seemingly not weakened the intelli-
gent CherOkees as to their rights to
that land, and it is thought'will cut no
figure in the coming negotiations.

The first strike under the alcohol pro-,

ment experiment station ct this place,
and the result is even better than hoped
for by Prof. Wiley, the discoverer Of
the alcohol extraction process, who has
charge OF the station. One hundred
aud fifty-six, pounds Of crystal sugar
was obtained from Q ton Of Coleman
cane, FIVE times as much Is obtained by
the diffusion process, and 1t is anticipa-
ted that when the syrup is rebOiled the
amount per ton will be increased 10 200
pounds. The official test made to-day
BY the government chemist shows an
average OF 94f per cent. Tho result
will be most complete revolution In
sugar manufacturing. and makes the
profitable production Of Kansas SCR

tered from her original design as built

long, and carries in two double turrets
four ten-inch rife guns, tho most ef-
lective ship guns We have yet turned
cut. She Is belted with twelve and one
half inches Of steel and iron, aud sits
low in the water. She is intended for
harbor defense, and will justify conf
dence in her ability to make a good
fight against the strongest iron clad

two amiable sisters, the Puritan and
