INDIAN TERRITORY POPULATION
The Pure.6Iooded Aborginss Are in Pro.
nouncsd Minority.

nounesd Minority.
Attention. has recently been called TO
some facts in regard TO the population of
Indian Territory which viii surprise
those who have been laboring under
the impression that full bloods predom-
mate among the five tribes-the Chero-
KEGS, Seminolcs, Creeks, Choctaws and
Chickasaws. IL appears that not only
is the pure Indian in a pronounced mi
nority. bat that 10 all intents and pur-
poses he is losing his individuality
among the whites who surround him,
and who. although not actually
citizens, direct and shape legislation
in the different nations mainly by the
power of their wealth. According 70
the last census" says the New York
Evening Post, there were 26.250 Cher
okees who could call themselves citi-
zens. Of this number only 400 were
full bloods; the others are part white
and part negro. Upward of 1900 non
citizens live in the nation, some Of
whom are intruders and others Of whom
pay tax TO enjoy the right of resi-
dence. The Cherokees look, dress and
act like white people. and in point of
intelligence, education and be-
hayior will compare favora-
bly, with the citizens of
the western states. The Creeks and
I Seminoles number about 5000, and are
more negro than Indian. About 5000
whites live in the Creek nation. The
citizen population Of the Choctaws i
put at Il, 397. of which 1000 are negro
freedmen. This tribe is intermarrying
with the whites more than with the ne
groes. In the Choctaw nation there are
upwards of 10000 white residents, coal
miners, cattlemen and merchants. The
ChickaSaws number 6. 500, but they are
lost in noncitizen population of more
than 80, 600. The whites are rapidly in
creasing all through the territory"

some prominent democrats here from
other sections, to protest and to endeavor
to persuade Mr.. Cleveland not to make
the recommendation. None of them
have, however, seen Mr.. Cleveland, as
he mas only been to the White House
once during the last week and that was
to attend q cabinet meeting. Secretay
Carlisle has also denied himself to all
visitors since he began work on his an
nual report, so that the visitors have not
made much Of a success in impressing
their financial views upon the admins
%tration, but they have put in some work
on Senators and Representatives that
will probably be heard from when the
subject gets before Congress.
Since the elections there has been a
marked change in the tariff talk of DEM
ocratic congressman, although one or
two of the democratic members of the
House Ways and Means committee have
taken occasion to say that the result Of
the elections would make no difference
in the tariff bill upon which that COM
mittee is working. 1t is significant, how
ever, that the democrats who are so pos
tive about this are those who were OPP
posed to the administration on the silver
question and therefore are not now
taken into the confidence of the admin
istration, which will unquestionably con-
troll the nature of the new tariff bill.
The administration democrats are not
committing themselves to any extent.
The democrats who represent districts
having industries which want some pro-
lection are much holder in their demands
upon the committee than they were be-
fore the election and the impression here
is that they will get many concessions
that would have been denied them had
the result Of the elections been different.
II seems to be settled that the new tar
iff bill will impose some sort OF an in
come tax, but whether it shall be upon
individuals or corporations is still q
matter Of doubt. There Is also a propo-
sition to impose an inheritance tax
which has met with considerable favor.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent!

Washington, Nov. 10, 1898.
The sensation caused by the official
announcement that Minister Willis,
who, if no accident occurred to the
vessel in which he left San Francisco,
arrived at Hawaii last week, carried
with him instructions to use if neces-
sary the sailors and marines on the
United States war ships now in the
harbor Of Honolulu TO depose the
provisional republican government of
Hawaii and restore Queen Liliuoka-
lani, to the power which she held be-
fore her forced abdication' last jan
uary, wal greater wen that made by
the election returns last week. Al
though Claus Spreckels, when here q
few weeks ago predicted that this
would be done and there had been.
other hints of its probability, it took
the community completely by sur-
prise, a surprise which few have yet
shaken off.
There are comparatively few Con-
gressmen in Washington, and some
of them refuse TO descuts the matter
at all, but the most of them, without
regard to their political opinions, re-
greet this action by the administration
and many do not hesitate to express
the opinion that it is the greatest
mistake of President Cleveland's life.
They say that even allowing, which
many Of them do not by any means,
that Secretary Gresham's statement,
based upon ex-Minister Blount's re-
port, of how the provisional govern
ment came into power and how the
Queen was forced to abdicate because
she feared to oppose the wishes Of the
U. s. Minister, is entirely true. and
that made by ex-Minister Stevens and
the late Captain Wiltse who was AZ
the time of the revolution in commad
of fine u. s. 8. Boston, from which the
marines were taken who raised the
American flag I'VE the island, I'M
true, the present action would still be
condemned by the great mass Of
Americans, because all they will see
and fully comprehend will be that tile
administration has ordered the des-
truction of the government OF a re-
public and the establishment OF q
monarchy, the only one on III side Of
the world; and they back up their
opinions by citing the popular feeling
against the lowering of the Ameri-
can flag in Hawaii by MI. Blount. A
Senator who is in political accord
with the administration said privately
II have not studied the question SUI
ficiently to know whether there really
was a wrong perpetrated upon the
Queen OF Hawaii when che abdicated
but l am sufficiently acquainted with
the sentiments of the American people
to know hal they will not approve
the restoration of an abolished mon
archy, known to have been one of the
most corrupt in existence, no matter
what the circumstances might have
been. The administration is establish
ing n bad precedent"
Whether it be true or not your cores
pondent will not undertake to say, but
the idea seems to be generally accepted
in Washington that President Cleveland
will in his annual message, upon which
he is working, recommend that Congress
repeal the tax on state bank currency,
This is pleasing to many of the demo
Gratis from the south, but it has brought

MR.. HARPER's IDEAS.
. G. F. Harper OF the firm of Harper,

good business today and have been
during the past month as they did dur
ing the corresponding time last year.
Mr.. Harper, being one OF our most sue.

able to give an opinion that would have
great weight among the people in this
locality. He feels that to compare things
in financial and business way as we
now find them with. the condition, of
business in 1874 and 1876 is ridiculous,
as during those years we were suffering
not only from an eastern financial furry
but also from drouth. and conse-
quently poor crops.

WANTS HIM ARRESTED.
A wIFE's CHARGES AGAINST HER
HUSBAND.
Mrs. Leonhardts Pitiful Story OF Abuse
and DesertiOn-She Asserts That
Her Husband Has Sunk
to Low Level.

A hollow.eyed weeping woman, with
a baby at her breast, applied for aid
yesterday afternoon at the police sta
tion.
There was nothing very original in
the story of her desertion by heartless
scoundrel, except the fact that in her
case the man appears to be more than
usually vile.
She gave her name as Mrs. Ed Leon
hardt, and she told the reporter that hel
husband was at one time employed by
Street Superintendent Watson.
They were married - years ago, Mrs,
Leonhardt stated, and he made a good
husband until three years ago. Then
Mrs. Leonhardt states that he became
infatuated with the notorious Grace Car
lyle, and from that time his whole ma.
ture seemed to change.
There were four children born to them
and their father soon began to ill-treat
and beat them. Mrs. Leonhardt states
that favorite amusement OF her hus-
bands was to induce the little baby to
touch the lighted end Of cigar, and he
would shrek with laughter at the ehild's
cries OF pain.
His brutality was not confined to his
children, and the poor wife says che
often went to sleep with the marks OF
his blows upon her body.
On one occasion she states that she
had him arrested for beating her, but
relented ON his promising to amend.
But the promises were not kept.
Every cent the wife made he spent in
the company of the woman, Carlyle, and
in consequence Mrs. Leonhardt and her
children were often without the bare
neccessaries of existence.
Then, Mrs. Leonhardt states, her hus
band sank still lower; from being the
lover of the woman he became pro-
curer TOR her house Of infamy. Mrs.
Leonhardt states that there were two
young girls living in the same house she
and her husband lodged in. One o.
these fell victim to Leonhardt's bruta
designs, and the other escaped through
Mrs. Leonhardt's timely interference.
t Three months ago, so she states, the
unhappy wife learned that he had gone
to San Francisco to obtain recruits for
his mistress brothel.
Since then his wife has neither seen
nor heard of him.
With herself and her four children
homeless and starving, and smartine
under the insult OF being left for dis
reputable, Mrs. Leonhardt applied at
police headquarters yesterday for war
rant for the mans arrest. He is sup
posed to be either in Davisville or Sacra-
mento.
Mrs. Leonhardt is in deplorable
condition, being absolutely without
money, and with four children, one OF
whom is a 8 months old child, entirely
dependent upon her for their support.
Mrs. Leonhardt herself is in weak
state Of health, and is almost insane
from grief and want.
