how he got letter from Rusk saying
that they were all out but that m nm

his own.
At night when Plumb was on the

his applause instead OF being what the
papers call loud and continued" was OF
that kind which mods the head and
nudges the man sitting next to him and
claps hands. He followed the senator
pretty closely and when the speaker al

his royal whoop led the applause and
its echo was the last to die when the

THE telephone between London and
Paris is proving big success, scientific
cally, commercially, and financially.
Electricians say there is no telephone
circuit in London, or in England, that
works SO clearly and perfectly. The
tariff is eight shillings. or 81, for
three minutes use Of the wire, and the
average number of calls during the
past few weeks has been fifteen an hour
during the busy part of the day, and
about 10S day. From records kept of
the actual business transacted, it is es-
timated that messages are sent between
London and Paris at the rate of five
words for two cents, an enormous re-
duction on the regular telegraph cable
rates. The telephone has been used
through to Brussels, and also to Mar
settles, the latter distance of 900 mi les.

infant his head was
little too large, but the boy seems
to have grown up to ii. He is well
behaved and clearly shows evidence of
the most careful breeding and the peo-
pie Of Spain have a great deal of re-
spect for him. OF course they do not
look upon him As their king as yet and
the boy does not have the slightest con.
ception of what an important individ-

Against the Cherokees.

Against the Cherokees.
GUTHRIE, Ok, September pa
, large crowd, including many promi'
nent Cherokees, assembled in the
United States court room at 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning to hear Judge
Green's decision in the famous stone
quarry case
In 1883 ex-Cbief Jordon, ex-Chiei
Bushyhead and other Cherokees dis
covered a ledge of valuable building
stone in the Cherokee strip, south OF
Arkansas City, and at once opened q
large quarry. They did big business
and were all getting rich. February
2S, 1891, Lieutenant Goldman, com.
handing troop K. Fifth cavalry, ap-
peared at the quarry with orders from
the war department to eject the work.
men from the strip and destroy the
plant. The Cherokees applied for an
injunction in the United States court
and the case has been pending since.
Judge Green's decision yesterday de-
mics the application OF an Injunction
and gives the title of the outlet to the
government. The opion covers the en-.
tire question of Indian titles and con.
tains 5000 words. The conclusions Of
the Judge are as follows:
The Cherokee nation holds the lands
in the Cherokee outlet by the same
title that it holds the lands coded to il
for permanent home-that is, by the
treaties OF 1926, 1888 and 1885 and the
patent of 1888, but their estate in the
Cherokee outlet is lease qualified.
The lands in the Cherokee outlet
were ceded to the Cherokee nation as
an outlet and for the purpose of an out
let only and not for residence and cult
walton, and in such case the law an.
nexes the qualification or condition
that the estate shall continue in the
Cherokee nation only so long as the
lands are used as an outlet and no long.
er, and when the Cherokee nation |
ceases to use the land as an outlet such
cessation of the use terminates theii |
estate and the lands revert TO the
United States.
The lands have been ceded and !
granted as an outlet, they cannot be
lawfully used for any other purpose, |
either bv the Cherokee nation or per |
sons claiming license or lease under the
Cherokee nation, and the subsection OF
the land to any other use Is wrongful.
and breach Of the qualifications or
condition annexed to the state, and the
lands revert to the United States.
\, The Cherokee nation has no right t.
use the land for the purpose OF opening
a stone quarry therein and selling and
shipping the rock, and could give the
compliments by license no greater
right team the Cherokee nation itseli
has and the operating Of the stone
quarry bv the complainsnts is wrongful
and court of equity. will not protect
them by injunction in such wrongful
act.
II the Cherokee nation has ceased to
use the lands as an outlet such actor
has terminated the estate and the lands
have reverted to the United States, but
whether there has been such cession is
q political rather than a judicial CUES
ton, and should be settled by congress
and the chief executive of the nation.
