Strip Opening Probable,

The appropriations committee of the
United States senate made quick work with
the Cherokee strip amendment to the gen.
eral Indian bill 1t added the senate bill
substantially as it passed to the Indian ap-
preparation bill.
The intruder provision remains intact.
They are to be compensated by the Chero-
KEGS. The payment of the principal sum of
the purchase money is deferred for five
years, interest being paid at four per cent
and few hundred thousand dollars to be
paid in cash. Otherwise the measure is
that which recently passed the senate.
There is no reasonable doubt but that the
bill will pass the senate. Mr.. Perkins,
who has looked into it closely, said that he
was then absolutely certain of it. Nor will
it find much opposition in the house. The
deferring of the payment of the purchase
money VIII silence the opposition of such
objectors as Holman and others who are
in favor of opening the strip, but are not
willing to appropriate now any considerable
sum Of money for that purpose.
It is, doubtful in view of the tremendous
amount of business engrosslng the consider
alton of congress, whether any of the several
measures affecting the Indian territory
will get to the president. The Cherokee
strip bill is the only one standing an excel
lent chance.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March "A descrif
ton of two costumes to be worn to night
is here given: The great gown to be worn
by Mrs. Cleveland has been completed for
weeks. The material Is a heavy silk, rich
in color4ng, but delicate in design. Mrs.
Cleveland has selected combination of
colors in which hydrangea shades are pre-
dominant. The skirt is very simple, gored
and quite full at the bottom with a long

the simplicity of the gown. The corsage
is only medium low with wide bretelles

STOP EXPORTING.
You Can Keep Gold i'm the
Country if You Will.
Decrease lmportations and Use
Home Products and Gold will Flow
TO Us Instead OF From Us-No
Bonds Necessary.

New York, March 6.-TelegI aphing to his
paper on the subject of the new bond issue
and the attitude of the outgoing admins
tration, the Washington correspondent of
the Mail and Express ends, what he states
is the substance of the utterances last week
by President Harrison, thus: 81 said to
those gentleman when they urged me to
issue bonds for buying gold for the treas
ury, this matter is virtuslly in your hands.
You can stop exporting gold if you will.
To decrease the imports of general mer-
chandise and use home products will change
our international balance from debtor
to creditor balance. The country Is ricn
in everything that she needs. She ought
to draw gold from all other nations, just
as she does her citizens. There is no
necessity for more bonds. / am pledged to
maintain the parity of gold and silver.
They are both at par. Thus my pledge Is
redeemed. If it is necessary to maintain
this parity would issue not only $50, ,OOO,-
600 of bonds, but SlOO, 100000 or SOC. .OOO,-
600 and the parity shall be maintained to
noon of March 4. After that the response
bility will rest on my successor. There Is
no necessity for more bonds during my
administration, and none shall be issued"

Want to Go Home.

In the Kansas house of representatives on
Thursday Mr.. Dunsmore. of Neosho county,
offered a resolution providing for a final
adjournment on Saturday at 4 p. m. He
said the present session could not possibly
Fl nish up the work before IN the fifty days
allowed it, or even in sixty or seventy days.
He, therefore, thought the house ought to
adjourn at once and come back to O special
session, which, he said, would certainly be
called. He was in favor of an extra session
and would do what he could to bring it about
This was debated by many members; pop
ulists generally favoring it and republicans
opposing. Speaker Douglass said he was un-
alterably opposed to early adjournment un-
less he could have positive assurance that
an extra session would be called by the gov.
ernor. When he introduce the resolution
pledging the republicans to stay here until
certain laws demanded by the people had
ben passed he meant business, and when the
republicans adopted it they meant business.
1t he had the assurance of an extra session
he would vote to adjourn at this time.
The resolution was defeated; Sc 10 So.

HER BIRTHRIGHT.
KafuIari in This Country With
Her Guardian
She Issues Statement in the Role
Of Poor. Weak Girl About to be
Deprived of Her Rights: Yet Re-
Yering America.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Princess Kaiuiani,
arrived here with the Davies family, who
are her English guardians and companions.
The princess said she had come to tine
United States more for the purpose of learn
ing and observing for herself the nature of
the people who had been asked to take con-
troll of her country, than to make formal
petition for her crown. THAT" she said,
SIS rightfully mine, and if the Americans
are the noble minded people have learned
to regard them as, they will not be a party
to the outrage by which 1 havc lost my birth
right"
In regard to her views on the various as
poets which the Hawaiian government is
likely to assume, Princess Kaiulani referred
to her guardian, Mr.. Davies who had pre-
pared statement both on his OWL and her
behalf. In her statement the princess says,
in part: Seventy years ago Christian Amer
leans came to give religion and civilization
to Hawaii. They gave Us gorsel, made US a
nation and We learned to love and trust
America. Today three Of the sons of those
missionaries are at your capital, asking you
to undo their fathers work who sent them !?
Who gave them the authority to break the
constitution which they swore they would
uphold? Today, l, poor, weak girl, with
not one of my people near me, and all
these Hawaiian statemen against me, have
strength to stand up for the rights of my
people. Even now can hear their wall in
my heart and it gives me strength and eour-
age, and am strong in the faith of God {;
strong in the knowledge l am right: strong
in the strength that seventy millions of
people, who in this free land will hear
my cry and will refuse to let their flag cover
and dishonor mne."

Nav Onenln ApriI.

A Washington dispatch says; 1t is need
less to add that the Oklahoma fellows are
happy. They are now willing to go back
home and meet their friends. They were
of the happiest to be found around town.
They will now insist on Hoke Smith and
the president consuming rs little time as
possible in disposing of the departmental
routine necessary before the land can be
given over to the settlers. Much depends
upon the incoming secretary of the interior,
and if he will show a degree of interest In
the matter equal to that of the senate, set
tiers will be permitted to legally enter the
lands by the middle of April. This is a
liberal estimate of the amount of time
necessary for the department work, judged
by those who are perfectly familiar with the
matter. The change of the head official of
the interior department will not of neces-
sity retard the matter in the least as the
work will be done by the same experienced
departmental employees, and if Secretary
Smith simply does his part, which consists
in directing the work, the boomers will
soon have homes.

The Cberokee Measure.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 6.-The amend
ment as it was finally agreed to provides
that all of the purchase price over So, OO0. 900
should be paid down and the remainder to
be paid in five years at the rate of 81, ,6OO, 900
annually at per cent.
The intruders are to be paid for their i'm
provemeEts on a valuation agreed to by a
commission composed of one Cherokee, one
appointed by the president and the two to
select third. The money to pay lntruders
is to be taken from the Cherokee funds.
The wording of the provision to meet the
emergency caused by the failure of the Cher
okees to accept the agreement is not changed.
The S0-acre provision is changed and claim
in the east third may cover 160 acres as we'll
as in the other two-thirds.
The price is $3.50 per acre for the east
third, $1.5O for the middle third and 81 tor
the west third.
When the government makes a tender of
the money to be paid down, the Cherokees
are compelled to accept 1t and Immediately
proceed to close the deal. and if they refuse
to accept, the strip at once becomes a part
of the public domain, to be treated as though
the Cherokees had accepted the terms of the
legislature, and the president is given one
year from the approval of the act in which
to complete all departmental work and open
the land to settlement. He must also issue
a proclamation, giving a notice of twenty
days before opening the lands to settlement.
This may be regarded as a phenomenally
long time to give the executive in which to
do the detail work, but it is the result of
vigorous effort on the part of Villas and
some senators who made it apparent they
would follow the amendment in the house
ana have 1T adopted there if it was not made
in the senate. Of course, if there is delay
the appropriations feature will be the alleged
cause.
A commission is also appointed to nego-
tiate with all the Indians in the territory and
assist in opening the lands to settlement.

reduction is as much as 33 per cent: on

To Grow Tobacco in kans rs.
KANSAS CrTY, NO., March 4.-On the west
hound Missouri Pacific train was a specia;
car loaded with Eentuckians who had shaken
the dust of their native state from their feet
to take up their aboie in the Sunfiower state.
On each side of the car were large banners,
proclaiming in large letters the greatness of
Kansas. The car attracted much attention
a1d created much comment. Upon investi-
cation reporter learned that the exact des-
tinatlUn of these paople was Lane, Kan,
where they had already purchased farms, or
would do SO. This body of people is only
small portion of Kentuckians, Tennesseeans
and West VlrginiaRs that, through the in
strumentality of Mr.. Long, have already
emigrated to Kansas, and they say still
there's more to follow.
Two years ago those that had already To-
Gated III Kansas tried the experiment of rails
ing tobacco, aud the results Of the trial were
away beyond what they had expected. It
was found by the cultivation of the plant in
1891 and 1892 that the soil and climate of
Kansas were of such character as to produce
as fine quality of tobacco as Kentucky
could raise. A few hogsheads of the weed
were shipped to Cincinnati and put on the
market and brought tie top price. An acre
of good land, such as is found in eastern
Kansas, will produce about 1900 pounds of
tobacco, which, after deducting cost of pro-
QucUlon, nanCllng ana snlpplng, netS TO the
grower about 500 per acre.
When the fact that Kansas would yield an
abundance of high class tobacco, as we'll as
bountiful supply of all other agricultural
products, became known at the old homes
of those who had successfully raised tobacco
in Kansas, many energetic, well-to-do peo-
pie of these states prepared to go to Kansas,
the land of plenty.
And they are coming, and will continue to
come Until Kansas will be noted for the
great amount of too eco it produces. These
emigrants thoroughly understand the busi-
ness, and they eyDect their efforts to be re-
warded with surprising results.
j. S. Long, the gentleman who had this
colony in charge, lives at Lane, Kan, and is
typical kansan, persevering and energetic,
and one who knows no such word as fail
and is continually on the move, locating
homeseekers and working up big excursions
of eastern people to visit Kansas, and as a
result of his labors hundreds have found
homes in the land of the sunfowers, and
will grow rich from the products of the fer
tile soil of that great state. Next month
Mr.. Long proposes to bring nearly double
the NUMBER of emigrants that he did this
month. At 8:15 the train pulled out for
Lane, and the car 'ot emigrants for Kansas"
attracted much attention as it moved off
with flying banners.

Senator John Martin Sworn,


The first business recognized by the new
vice president was the reception of newly
elected senators.
Twenty of those to whom tho oath was
administered were senators who had been
reelected. Five took their seats in the sem
ate for the first time. Those are Messrs.
Lodge, Massachusetts; Murphy, New York;
Roach, North Dakota; Smith, New Jersey,
and White, of California.
The credentials of John Martin as senator
from Kansas were presented by Mr.. PETER
and read. Mr.. Hoar said the credentials
seemed to be in due form and to eutitle
Martin prima facie to be admitted to a seat
in the senate. If there was to be q question
as to his title upon the merits the senate
could pass upon that afterwards. He
moved that the oath of office be admins
tered to Martin. The motion was agreed
to and Nh. Martin took and subcribed to the
oath.

of the members were present and at the

the president arose and in few words
bade them good bye.
He thanked them for the loyal support
they had always given him, and attr1but ed
much of the success of his administration
to their wise counsels, faithful service and
devotion to the country's highest good. He
then shook hands with each in turn and
