THE INDIAN TERRITORY QUESTION.


FURTHER DISCUSSION OF SENATOR VESTS RESO
LUTON LOOKING TO ITS OPENING.
Washington Dec. 13.-In the Senate to-day. the JOINT
resolution introduced last Tuesday by Mr.. Vest for
commission TO make an agreement with the five civil
lied tribes In the Indian Territory for taking lands
in scverav. and then opening the Territory to settle
mcnt was taken Up. Mr.. Jones, OF Arkansas, argued
in favor OF referring 1t 10 the Committee on indian
Affairs. which he said had been considering the sub
iect for several years.
Mr.. Plat expressed regret that question OF such
great Importance should be obscured by references to
the conduct and expenses of certain courts. The
real question that should interest the American PEG
pie was whether they coud longer endure five separate,
independent sovereign and almost wholly foreign gov
ernments within the boundaries OF the United States
Mr.. Coke inquired whether the United states Gov
eminent had not the right Of eminent domain In the
Indian country.
Mr.. platt gave It ne his opinion that the United
States Government had no more eminent domain over
the soil OF Indian Territory than 1t had over the
soil In state because the Government had conveyed
to the Indians their land by patent In fee simple.
Stlll, he not prepared to deny that inc Govern
ment could exercise the right OF eminent domain
there There was now he said In the Indian Terri
tory about los coo whites, against ." 600 lndhnS
These whites there by permission OF the Indians
but had no participation whatever In the government

should be ndcp 'ndent had entirely vahlshcd
The time had come (Mr Tatt thought. or would soon
come when either by consent Of the Indians or with
ont their consent that condition Of affairs must cease
He did not advocate violation Of the treaties with
these Indians But the Indians themselves had to sec
that that condition OF things could no iohser ooI,
