The Cherokee Measure.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., March G.-The amend.
ment as it was finally agreed TO provides
that all of the purchase price over SS,000,000
should be paid down and the remainder to
be paid in five years at the rate OF 81, GOO, 900
annually at 4 per cent.
The intruders are to be paid for their inn
provements on valuation agreed to by q
commission composedof one Cherokee, ono
appointed by the president and the two to
select third. The money to pay intruderS
is to be taken from the Cherokee funds.
The wording of the provision to meet the
emergency caused blythe 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 100 acres as we'll
as in the other two.thirds.
The price is $3.50 per acre for the east
third, $3.50 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 n 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 completepall departmental work and open
the land to settlement. He must also issue
proclamation, giving a notice Of twenty
days before opening the lands to settlement.
This may be regarded rs phenomenally
long time to give the executive in which to
do the detail work. but it is tho result of u
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,

swltohmen All In Linz.

CHICAGO, March 0.-The officers of every
railroad in the United States received the
following petition from the Switchmen's
Mutual Aid Association of America;
1--WE, the switchmen employed by your
corporation, respectfully present for your
consideration the following: First-The
rate of pay for switchmen to be as follows
Day foreman, 32 cents per hour; day help
ers, 30 cents per hour; night foremen "a
cents per hour; night helpers, 81 cents per
hour.
"Second-That ten hours be guaranteed
each crew, day or night"
The officers of the thirty.twu roads center
ing in this city received the notice from the
committee of men employed on each road,
The petition contains no threat and is mild
in its wording, and ii is partly for this rea-
son that it was accepted by the general 3D.
perintendents. The superintendent have
referred the communication to the general
managers association. The association held
n short meeting, intending to take some ac-
ton on the matter, but the subject was too
serious to be decided hastily, 80 they nd
journed and an answer will be given to the
switchmen later.
The situation may develope into serious
state of affairs. There are 1000 switchmen
employed by the different roads in this city.
If the general managers refuse to grant any
part of the schedule strike is imminent A
strike around Chicago would be serious
enough, but the probabilities that there
would at tine same time be similar strikes all
over the country, as every railroad has re-
ceived the new schedule

The two houses of the Kansns legislature
struggled TO agree on some measures ana
fenced against any agreement on others
The legislative appropriation bill was
battod back and forth number OF times f;
the senate flnt standing firm on a recognl-
ton of the Dunsmore house as legislative
body, and the house at the other extreme
refusing to pay any officer of that body
II was evident that both sides took extreme
positions on the starte to be the better able
to save their main pointsin the outcome and
this seemded likely at midnight on Wednes-
day to DO the result.
The senate's point was to secure the pay
of all employees; the houses point, that moth
ing should 90 on the statutes of Kansas that
could be said to recognize an illegal assem-
blage as legislative body. The senate's
first concession was that the Dunsmore house
members without certificates be dropped
from the pay roll.
The railroad bills of the two houses were
90 radically opposed that there was no SEEM
ing chance for an agreement to DO reached.
The appellate court bills passed by each
house differ radically and conferences have
been had with no result.
There we're also occasion for conferences
on items in several of the regular appropria-
ton bills; mostly upon amount of wages to
be allowed officers and employees of state
institutions; the pententiary being sam.
pie. The senate wanted to cut the pay OF
warden and the house commended Tor the old
figure.

dent of the Atchison has resigned to accept
the presidency of the Chicago Terminal Rail-
way company. The managers of the Atchi-
son insisted Judge SpnnSers resignation
should not become effective before March

duties. Vice President SpringerS resigna-
ton will probably cause n complete change
in the vice presidents of the road.
Either A. A. Robinson or General Mana
ably he made first vice president in charge
of operation. 1t ia not yet decided who
will take charge of traffic.
Assistant General Auditor Gillette will

WASHINGTON, d. c., March S,-President
Cleveland is IN early riser. After breakfast

Each member was introduced TO him by Mr..

from him. After the club came multitude

At 2 o'clock the president received more

The House Objects,

The Kansas senate passed Legislative
appropriation containing this provision;
"That the pay of the members, delegates,
officers and employees of the late Dunsmore
house shall included in the appropriation,
and they shall be paid on sworn vouchers
attested by j. M. Dunsmore and Ben c.
Rich, up to and including to 2Sth of Febru-
airy, 1898, and that their vouchers and pay
ments issued and received under the appro.
priation bill approved February ID, 1893,
shall be considered as partial pay
ment under tho provisions of this act,
and the auditor be authorized to deduct such
amount paid from the total amount due to
mem ers delegates, officers and employees
under the provisions OF previous statutes
and this act; all payments by the state treas
urer made under the act approved February
10, 1888 are hereby egalized and made bind
ing upon the state and all persons who re-
ceived warrants and payment under said
act"
The house refused to pass the bill with this
provision in it; the objection being to any
recognition upon the statutes of Kansas Of
the existence of the Dunsmore house.

ident OF tho association OF western agrcul-

ing before Mr.. Morton plan by which the

forests. The proposition is, in brief, that
the government shall make live stock re-
ports as well az crop reports and that the
latter shall be made more elaborate than
they are now. Mr.. Heath explained the scope
of tho plan, aud Secretary Morton was
greatly interelted
In impressing his views upon tho secretary,
Mr.. Heath used some information which he
had Just gathered in regard TO tho present
conditions and prospects OF the live stock
industry.
His statomentto Mr.. Morton Of the cur
rent consumption of cattle goes to show
that IL will reduce our matured stock from
IL, 968, 700 TO 1868 100, and If VIC Keep up
the same ratio OF consumption we shall have
to encroach largely on our l and 2-year-old
stock TO supply the demand for 1893, which
will practically result in beef famine in
1894, unless something Is done to inform
tho producers of tho alarming condition
of affairs and check the senseess shipping
of breeding COWS and calves, which can be
done through the agency OF this proposed
United States department OF agriculture
bureau Of information and statistics
Mr.. Heath believes that the proposition
TO put the collection of live stock statistics
on the same basis as crop statistics will be
adopted, and the establishment of the bureau
will be one of tho earliet acts of the depart
ment of agriculture under the new admin
istratlon.

HAWAI[S CHANCES.
Treaty VIII Not to be With
drawn From the Senate.
Mr.. Cleveland Has no Record OF
Views on the Subject othar Than
That OF $50 Some Earnest Talk
for Annexation.

WASHINGTON, d, c. March s.--T'he ropro'
sont9tiyes Of the Hawaiian government
will at the first favorable moment call tho
attention OF the new administration to the
pending treaty OF annexation. They do not
expect that tho treaty will DO withdrawn
OF course II Mr.. Cleveland withdraws ii
from the senate as no withdrew the roci-
procity treaty with the South American
states which President Arthur had negoti-
ated when he entered upon the duties Of
his Office eight yeaD ago the prospect Of
tho annexation Of Hawaii will end.
The views of Mr., Cleveland himself have
not been expressed on tho subject Of Hawai-
since ho was president before The repre-
sentatiyes OF the Hawaiian government, how
ever, point to passage IN his message OF 1889
indicating that he believed that the ultimate
destiny OF Hawaii wnS TO DO "A part OF the
United States
Some OF those who are in the intermediate
surroundings Of Mr.. Cleveland, notably
Don M. Dickinson, are earnestly talking in
favor Of annexation, Mr.. Dickinson, who,
by reason OF his residence near the border
in Detroit has become very much interested
in Canadian matters, has also expressed the
opinion that before the Cleveland admins
tration shall end movement will DO inau-
aurated which may ultimately result in the
annexation of Canada That, however is
mere conjecture.
Mr.. Olnoy, the new attorney general, is
said by some to be an enthusiastic au-
nexationst, and there are many eminent
democrats who will not fail to call the atten.
ton OF Mr.. Cleveland to the fact that all
the annexations of territory which have
ever been made to the United States,
except that which resulted from the pur.
chase of Alaska have been accomplished
under democratic administrations and that
the party which has opposed the annexa-
ton has generally been the one which has
met with national defeat,

About 200 people we're gathered on the

we're closed until after the interview be-
