special says: ''In the district of the
Garza disturbance there now some 2O0
United States troops and 13 Texas rang

centrated with the force of Captain
Bourke. When massed the troops will
attack Cara, who is said TO be en-
camped near Topena with $50

Views of the Lobbying Delegates Who
Went to Washington to Look After the
Full Federal Jurisdiction Question.
Special to the Gazette.

SpGSlGl ~ GdLtblc-
ARDMoRE, l. T., March 13.-Judge O..
Dove, one of the Chickasaw delegates to
Washington, was in the city yesterday,
having Just returned from thecapital where
he has been with the delegates froIn the
other four nations lobbying against
the full Jurisdiction of the Fed
eral court in the Indian Terri
tory, and for the payment of
the leased district money appropriated by
the last congress TO pay the Choctaws and
Chickasaws for their claim against the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe country, which Is
now being allotted with view of opening
to white settlement The amount claimed
by the two tribes is about s., 000, 600, and, as
a few leading spirits among them
would pocket Sl.000,000 of the
money, they are working every scheme
to procure the money, but the prospect is
anything but fattering at this time, as a
few congressman are ION to the deal" and
are putting in very emphatic protests,
claiming that the land has already been
decided to the United States government.
The only reason few of the Indian
politicians oppose complete Jurisdiction is
that they view it as an encroachment upon
their rights. They want the white
people to come among them and cultivate
their farms, build mills and gins, black
smith shops, etc, but when they ask to
have courts with Jurisdiction over all
crimes committed in the Indian Territory,
they raise the cry that the white man is
trying to rob them Of their birth-right, and
still the Indian courts have no Jurisdiction
over crimes committed by non-citizens.
There are three Federal courts in the Indian
Territory with limited jurisdiction. These
courts have civil jurisdiction, and can try
cases where thousands of dollars are at
stake, but when the right to. try all Grim
inar cases is asked for the hue and cry is
raised by the Paris and Fort Smith Federal
court officials that competent jurors cannot
be had in the Indian Territory to try
such cases. But the people of the Indian
country realize the fact that the time
is near when congress will see the in
Justice of dragging United States citizens
hundreds of miles to be tried among
strangers. at an enormous expense TO the
government, when they might as well be
tried at home among their own people It
is an outrage that would not be tolerated
anywhere else in this great Union

WICHITA FALLS, TEX, March 13-Col w.
W. Flood of this place, who represents
Messrs. Burnett & Waggoner, the ''cattle
kings" of Northwest Texas and the Fort
Sill country, left here to-day in COM
pany with Quanah Parker, chief of
the Comanche Indians, and three
other chiefs OF the different
tribes in the Territory. Their destination
is Washington, D. C. 1t is rumored that
they go to see the Hon. Jerry Rusk in the
interest of immigration for the Fort Sill
country. Messrs. Burnett and Wag-
goner, as well as the Indians, are all in
favor of the settlement of the country by
the white man. If the rumor be true it is
IN important move and one which will ben
eft Texas in general and the northwest
part of the state in particular.
1t is said the expense Of the trip,
which is quite a sum, will be
paid by the seattle kings" This shows
liberal spirit on their part, and which will
no doubt be justly appreciated by the people
of this section, and especially those who
secure homes in the Territory after it is
opened up by Uncle Jerry Rusk ct al.
Two hundred thousand people located in the
Fort Sill country would add not little to
the trade of Fort Worth The merchants
and people of that city will, of course, ap-
preciate the efforts of their townsman, Mr..
Burke Burnett and Col. Dan Naggoner of

Lengthy Statement of the Reasons for

high tempered, violent and overbearing,

That Ball advised him to stay at home until

AUSTIN, TEX, March 13-As was ex-
pected, the absorbing topic with the legis-
lators is the election of a senator. The
solons, since their arrival, have gathered
about the hotels where the talk has all
been about Mills Chiffon and Culberson.
Nothing else is mentioned or thought of.
Tonight the lieutenants of each candidate
are circulating actively among the members
ascertaining their standing and stiffening
the backbone Of those showing evidences
bf weakness. The non-committal members
Are being courted assiduously and told how
strong is the following Of this or that
candidate.
Some rather extravagant claims are be-
ing made Tor tile purpose Of influencing
doubtful and hesitating members. There
ARE probably twenty odd of these latter,
which circumstance gives the friends of
each candidate an opportunity to enlarge
upon their claims.
ing everything tonight and boldly
assert that { heir man will be elected on the
first ballot. They parade the following
poll: Mills, 73 votes; Chiffon, %; Culber-
son. 20; doubtful, II. Total, 137.
Tho poll prepared by Chilton's friends
reads: Chiffon, 81; Mills, AZ Culberson,
-; doubtful, %, Total, 137.
CulberSon's friends have made no poll,
but claim thirty-five votes in joint ballot
Representative Jester, lieutenant-Gov-
srnor Pendleton, Senators Page and Tyler,
are working hard for Mills, and while they
do not claim enough pledged votes to elect
Mills, they pretend to know the secret
choice of sufficient non-committed members
TO warrant their claim.
Senator Crawford is Culberson's chief
lieutenant.
Representative Selman of Tyler is acting
for Chiffon, but expects Representative
Lindsey, Messrs. Finley, Duncan, Jones
and others from Tyler tomorrow to work
for the Tyler favorite. The fact that
certain members known to be for either
Culberson or Chiffon, are looking, for IN
welcome instructions from their con-
stituents en- every train, has rather dis
concerning effect on the friends of these
two candidates, and very corresponding
encouraging one on the Mills people.
Chiffon lost two supporters in Rogers of
Anderson, and Mckinney of Walker. and
will probably lose another two, maybe in
Travis.
At late hour tonight while the Mills
men are claiming everything, it is entirely
safe to say that Mills lacks several votes of
enough to elect him on the first ballot. The
issue of the fight depends on the fidelity to
their candidate of the Culberson men, and
on the decision of the non-committals. If
the latter, or most of them, go to Chiffon,
as is claimed, it may take several ballots to
elect, otherwise one ballot will finish it,

Search was made at once, and it was not
till or 10 o'clock that her remains were
found in the river. II seems that
when she got up she took her dress
in her hand and got a tin bucket
and fork and started for the river, which
is about five hundred yards distant. She
was tracked through the field, which had
been recently plowed, to a large hole of
water, where she left the bucket and fork
and walked down a steep bank and plunged
in. The dress was found floating on the
water, and only short distance below the
body was found in only three feet OF water.
