4 Plan to Provide for the Chickasaw and
Choctaw Negroes.

ST. Louis, April 1.-THE latest ad-
vices from the Indian Territory say
that Senator Sam Haul, Of the Chica-
saw Nations, is formulating plan to
settle the supposed rights OF the Chicka=
saw and ChOctaw negroes.
These negroes. who were former
slaves in these tribes, are claiming some
standing as tribal members, which is
diputed by the Indians.
Haul, who is progressive Chickasaw,
and one of the leading advocates OF al
lotment, suggests that the Government
having extinguiShed by purchase the
title OF ChoctawS and ChickasawS TO the
lands now used by the Cheyennes, Arap-
hoes, KiowaS aud ComancheS as re-
serve, and is preparing TO open these
lands to settlement, should provide for
these negroes by giving them. prefer
ence right OF homeSteading on the
leased district prior to its being opened
for general settlement.
There is no doubt the negroes will be
cut out by the Indians in any land al
lotment, as they have been in the per
capita distribution of the leased district
and sale money.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, April G.-There
was a small riot at the PhGniX packing
house at the corner Of First and Usage
avenues, Kansas City, KaS., this morn
ing. For some time past the rumors OF
the reopenng ol the packing house,
which has been o,Osed since November
l., have caused large crowds OF labor
ers to congregate about the gates OF
the plant every morning, seeking for
work. This morning as usual they were
there, about 300 in all. About . o'clock
twenty Italians came in body to
apply for work. They told the super
intendent that they would work for 81
day. When the others who had as
sembled there learned Of the offer Of the
Italians, they seized fence picketS,
stones and other missiles and charged
the Italians. The Italians made stand
for moment, but were soon forced
back, and ended by taking precipitate
flight, followed by a storm OF curses and
missiles. The crowd followed them for
some distance. 1t is not known whether
any OF the Italians were hurt or not.
None OF the others were injured.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April Gone OF
the most sensational stories sprung on
Washington in long time gained cur
rency this afternoon. 1t relates TO Jay
Gould's visit to this city last week, and
while it strongly suggests Frank Stock
tons famous war syndicate romance II
is too widely picturesque not to be
given. The story in brief is that Mr..
Gould's visit was for the purpose OF
making an offer 20 Secretary OF the
Navy Tracy in the name OF a
great syndicate of millionaires to
undertake the defense Of the Atlantic
seaboard in the event OF a war with
1t is said the syndicate which Gould
represented was prepared TO undertake
the protection OF all our cities from
Machias, Maine, 10 Brownsville, Texas,
from the danger OF bombardment by
Italian iron-clads. They had at com
mand untold millions of capital and
stood ready to practically insure the
safety of the seaboard cities of the gov
ernment would give the proper guaran-
tees.
1t Is said Goud'S plan of defense in
cluded lining the coast with tOrpedoeS,
and throwing out torpedo boat pickets
by the thousand TO interrupt and de-
stroy, If possible, any hostile vessels
approaching. 1t was believed that by
offering sufficient sums OF money,
thousands of men could be found who
would willingly risk almost certain
death in undertaking to destroy the
Italian iron clads before they got within
shelling distance OF any big city. If one
relay OF volunteers failed and
met death, others would take their
places until the enemy's vessels were
sent to the bottom OF the sea, or so bad
ly disabled they would be glad TO re-
tire. The torpedo service is under
stood to have been only one feature OF
the great Gould war syndicate plan OF
defense. which was such stupendouS
scheme that it fairly staggered Secre-
tary Tracy when unfolded to him.
