Ell RENO, 0. T., December 27.-In the case
of Morrison vs. Wilson, in the United States
court here, Judge Burford held that the
children born to white citizen of the United
States who had married a female member
of the Arapahoe tribe might still be men,
her of that tribe of Indians and entitled to
an allotment under the treaty as a member
of tho tribe, and that the laws of descent in
Oklahoma applied to Indians, and that the
administrator of an Indian decedent was
entitled to the possession of the lands 80 al
lotted. Tie decision was rendered IN an
ejectment suit involving 100 acres of land
adjoining Ell Reno, of great value, and ID of
great Importance, as similar questions are
pending IN all the courts of the west where
allofments have recently been made. The
decision is contrary to the decisions in the
northwest under similar treaty with the
Sioux.

Open to CompromIses.

WARRINGTON, d. G., December 28.-Speak-
ing of the senatorial situation in the west,
Senator PETER strongly repudiated the idea
that any party had the right to advance the
theory that the populists were inclined In
one direction or another. SIN those states
where we have votes and can elect our sena-
tors, " said the senator, I'VE will do it and
ask 10 questions of anybody. In the states
in which the two parties maintain the bal
ance of power and have sufficient votes TO-
combine with us in the election of senator,
we will make a compromise that will be
most advantageous to US and that can be
made without sacrificing any principle"

NEW York, December 28.-Charles Foster,

committee on ways and means to investigate
the condition of the treasury. His visit here
is believed to have the Same object.

lion dollars loss in this city by different fires
occurring at about the same tune. Free

ancc half.
CAMDEN, S. C.-Fire here, which destroyed
property to the value of $4,000, is supposed
TO have originated from lamp explo sion.

saved n large portion of the town from de-
struction. The losses exceed the insurance.
CHESTER, ILL.-The Menard Manufaclur-
ing company's foundry in the prison yards
is burned to the ground, entaillng loss of
$50, COO 1t is thought the fire was the work

A New Sensation.

PARIS, December 27.-It is rumored De
Freycinet, minister of war, has resigned in
consequence of the attacks upon him in con-
nettion with the Panama scandal.
There is considerable excitement in Paris
and groups of people stand about the streets
discussing the situation and eagerly waiting
for the latest developments The rumor OF
the resignation caused intense AGITATION and
everybody is asking what the effect of such
an event would have upon the army. Uni
ver.al confidence is expressed among the
Bourgeoisie in the coolnes, good Judgment,
and loyalty of General Caussier, the militia
ry governor of Paris, who has stood careful
ly aloof from the evlsting complications,
and would it is believed, in critical juno
ture, undoubtedly stand by the government.

over the report that Bill Dalton, the notorious
outlaw, had been appointed deputy United
States marshal at Coffeyville, Kansas. He
said the first intimation he received in
regard to the matter was when Senator Vest
alluded to ii in the senate last week. He
had at once applied to the United States
marshas in Kansas and the Indian territory
for information on the subject, at the same
time expressing surprise and dsapprova at
such appointment, but so far he hns received
no response from either Officer. He ex-
plains that the department never interfered
with the marshals in appointments of their
deputies unless there was special reason for
so doing, but he indicated very clearly that
he would not countenanca the appointment
of man of Dalton's stamp. No further
action will be taken until the two marshals
have been heard from.

Naval Lake Defense.

WASHINGTON. D. c., December 27.-Sena-
tor Frye, of Name, the leading member of
the committee of foreign affairs and a
recognized authority On marine matters,
said: There is no necessity for the people
of this country to be alarmed over the con-
struction of the Canadian revenue cutters
now going on. Eren if they be what it is
claimed-war vessels under the guise of rev.
enue cutters there need be no fears in the
event of hostility, for l am positive the
United States could select twenty-five YES
sells on the great lakes that could within a
very short time be armed and eqipped better
than the Canadian cutters are, and that they
would sail right around the latter.

In the Supreme Court.

The populists began mandamus proceed
ing5 in the supreme court in several cases
of contest of seats in the house OF represen.
tatives.
In the Haskell county case the court is-
sued an alternative writ commanding the
state board of canvassers to convene on
December 30 and issue certificate to Rosen-
thai, or come before the court January I
and show the reason why.
In the other cases the parties in contest
are notified to appear on the tir5t'day of the
the January term Jsnuary 3, to show cause
why wrts should be issued.
1t is understood that the board of canvass
ers will not meet December 80, but will ap-
pear before the court January 3 and try
the case.

GERMANY Depressed.

BERLIN, December 2G.-There is great
stagnation in business here, and the outlook
for improvement is exceedingly gloomy.
Commercial and financial circles alike take
a pesslmestic view of the situation. Bourse
transactions are overshadowed by the fears
of political CONFUSION in France and dis
turbed by the condition of home affairs aris-
ing from the army bill. The new projects
for taxation form another element of sus-
pense. Some fininciers hold that the effect
of these projects will be ruinous while 9TH
ers form a milder estimate of the result. So
cialist papers seize upon the occasion to
comment upon the misery that is prevailing
among the working Glasses. While charity
is abundan it is badly organized and relief
does not reach the masses of the sufferers.

festo
To Peoples Party Legislators OF the Different
States:
"We hereby request all and each of you to
stand firm when it comes TO ballotting for
United States senators in your respective
states. We caution you against fusion with
any of the two dominant parties. Make a
square fight for our principles. Vote for no
man uuless you know he will advocate and
defend them In the senate. Wehave arrived
at the point in our movement where we must
make a square stand-up fight for principles.
If the two dominant parties want to fuse on
a candidate to defeat us, let them do 30.
The sooner they do that the better it will be
for us. You cannot afford to consider the
personal interests of any individual, no diff
ference how good or great he be, that will
leave tinge of barter, traffic or a compro-
mise attached to our party or principles.
The people look to you to carry out the
promises made in the last campaign, aud
unless you do your utmost in that direction
you will fail to do your full duty. We also
kindly request that the peoples party, state,
county and local committees in every state
in the union do all in their power, and lend
helping hand to organize the Industrial
legion Push that organization into every
state, county, precinct and school district in
the land.
