THE CHoCTAws AND CHICKAsAws.
PRESIDENT Harrison Objects to Paying
the Money Appropriated for Thanl.


WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 1.-THE president
today sent congress message in connection
Wlth the Choctaw and Chickasaw claim, for the
pay lient OF which congress appropriated 81 99l,-
~. AZ Tue indian appropriation bill passed by
VIC last congress. He says If the section in
HueS'on had been submitted to him as n separ-
n'o measure he would disapprove It, but, as
congress was In the last hours, disapproval of
the general Indian approximation bill, OF
which 1t was part would resllt in con-
sec uences so disastrous that he felt it his
duty 10 approve the bill, but acceptance and
approval OF the payments provided for de-
yolved upon him, he felt bound to look into the
whole matter. 1t has come TO his knowledge
that the Choctaw legislature has agreed to pay
three OF the tribes p per cent. of any appropria
tion obtained from congress, aud the Chicka-
saws have agreed to pay 10 per cent. OF their in
terest 10 agents and attorneys. The president
has also learned that the action of the Choctaw
council was corruptly influenced in the matter.
The president does not think congress should
SO legislate as to give effect to such contract,
aud is of the opinion that If the appropriation
Is to stand provision should be made Tor pro-
tecting these tribes against extortIon.
The protective intervention of congress il
asked in the matter of the refusal of the Chicka-
saws TO admit freedmen 70 citizenship. The
question OF the title OF the Choctaws and Chieka-
saws is taken up. The words of the treaty. saws
the president point clearly TO the conclusion
that the government commissioners and the In
diaps themselves must have understood that
this government was acquiring something more
than the mere right to settle friendly Indians.
which it already possessed. Certainly for the
adequate consideration by treaty that the United
States placed upon these lands, it was competent
to give title 10 certain reservations. This being
So compensation for lands not needed for
allotment purposes should go to the occupying
tribe. Recital is made OF the various tribes
having reservations in this leased district to
show that further appropriations are involved
in settlement for all these lands on the basis
adopted by congress. The president does not
approve OF dealing with the question By piece
meal ltwould have been better, he SAYS if
remnant of the title remains in the Choctaws
and Chickasaws, to have settled the whole mat
ter at once. The calculations made in arriving
at the basis of appropriations, no account being
taken Of the $4,000 paid by treaty stipulation
for the leased district, to the president not
just TO the United States. He eonmerds the
matter 10 the attention of coug-ess
