CHEROKEE PROSPECTS.
Cheering News For Outlet Home Seeker
An Early Opening Probable.

Cheering News For Outlet Home Seekers
AN Early Opening Probable.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-One of the
most important duties devolving upon
the present administration is the OPEN
ing of the Cherokee outlet to settle
ment under the recent act of congress
ratifying the agreement with the Chero-
KEGS for cession of these lands Hum
dreds of letters are received daily by
the president and the secretary of the
interior from all sections of the com
try urging speedy action in the OPEN
ing of these lands, most of them, how
ever, coming from the Kansas borders,
where thousands of boomers, with their
families and outfits, are waiting to rush
into the land of promise.
1.-The difficulties attending the open
ing of the outlet, J" said an official of the
interior department, ''are very great,
because of the preliminaries which, by
the recent act, are required to be OBJ
served In the first place, the Cherokee
council must meet and ratify the amend
ments to the agreement which were
made by congress Then the seventy
allotments of residence on the strip
must be made and approved, and vari-
GUS contests over these will ensue, as
than the seventy limited by the law.
The county lines and county seats must
be determined, and also the reserva-
tions which the president is authorized
to make in his proclamatio
''Rules and regulations governing the
settlement of these lands must be made
and approved by the secretary of the
interior at least twenty days before the
dofQ Of tho ,,rocidenf,S tiOn
Then again the land ceded by the Ton
kawas and Pawnees must be allotted
and these allotments approved, because
the act provides for the opening of
these lands simultaneously and on like
| conditions as those .of the Cherokee
| outlet. The Tonkawa allotments
| have been made, but are not yet APP
proved and the allotments of the Paw
nees are still to be made and approved
These allotments aggregate several
| hundred and the labor involved is very
| great There are other incidental pre-
liminaries to be obeyed by the author
| tiles at Washington which will neceS-
sarily consume time"
Secretary Hoke Smith and his sub
orbinates are working energetically to
accomplish as early an opening as pos
sible and hope to do SO in time to allow
| the settlers to plant crops this spring.
! GOV. sEAY's INSTRUCTIONS.
! GUTHRIE, Ok, March 25.-YeSterday
morning Gov. Seay received instruc-
| tions from the interior department to
at once lay off the new counties on the
| Cherokee strip, establish townsites and
have same surveyed He began worl
| yesterday afternoon and it will be
rushed through in manner which will
bring joy to the hearts of all the home
| seekers.
SURE OF RATIFICATION.
| GUTHRIE, Ok, March 25. "A private
telegram from D. w. Bushyhead, ex-
chief of the Cherol1ees, states that there
is no doubt that the Cherokee council

GUATEMALA. March 25.-The news
photographed the United States of fears
of general war in all Central Ameri-
ca is unfounded. Guatemala will not
take part and Salvador is afraid to
take part in any movement, for in that
case Guatemala would attack Salvador.
Nicaragua is too busy awaiting the re-
suit in the United States OF the canal
movement The president of Costa
Rica fears revolution of the liberals,
and will. therefore, not participate in
outside complications The rebellion
in Honduras was a farce prearranged
between the leaders and is dying out

For HOmeSeekerS.

Judge Rays Decision lirimful of Promise
For HOmeseekers.
WICHITA, Kan, March % Judge
Ray, of the district court OF Sumner
county. yesterday afternoon at Wei
lington sustained the demurrer of the
defendant in the case of the Cherokee
nation VS.. the Cherokee Strip Live
Stock aSsocia ton.
Suit was brought by the Cherokee
nation for $500, 600 rent for the strip,
claimed to be due under the lease with
the live stock association. The assoc
citation contended that the Cherol,ees
had no title to the strip except to use it
as an outlet and had therefore no right
to rent it, and Judge Ray sustained
this opinion. thus deciding that the IN
dams had no fee simple title to the
land and could only use it as an outlet.
This decision will probably have con-
siderable bearing on the action of the
Cherokee council which meets at Table
quah to ratify or reject the amended
treaty conveying the lands t., the
United States government and will in
al likelihood overcome all opposition.
Judge Rays oprinion covers twenty
eight type-written pages and discusses
every phase of the case, which it took
three days TO argue.

WHILE there many alum baking pow
