LAND CLAIMS.
Bill Passed for the Adjudication of the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Claims.
UNIFORM BANKRUPTCY BILL.
Senator Georges Additional Amendments
-Commonwealers Given Hearing
by the Senate Committee on
Education and Labor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Representa-
tive Maddox, of Georgia, yesterday
morning by unanimous consent OBJ
tanned passage of the bill providing for
the adjudication of the claims of the
ChOctaws and Chickasaws to the lands
of the Kiowas, COmanches, Apaches
and Wichita Indians. Representative
McRae, of Arkansas, sought to amend
the bill so as to provide for the settle
ment of the question in the court OF
claims, but this was regarded by its
friends as likely to delay the adjudica-
tiOn. The bill has passed the house
providing for the bringing of the suit
in the supreme court of the District OF
Columbia. An appeal may be taken
from that court to the circuit court OF
the district. Under ruling of the SUI
preme court of the United States it is
held that that court has no jurisdiction
in cases of this character.

auditors to be appointed by courts for
carving out the business entrusted to
them under the act and their powers

They Are Anxious to Have a Settle ment
One Way or the Other-An Agreement
Come To.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-SenatOrs 9. Jones
and Vest, of the tariff conference COM
mitteee, and Senators German and
Smith, acting on behalf of the conserv-
ative senators. held a meeting to-day
previous to the meeting of the confer
ance, and it is understood that it was
decided that the time had arrived
when the conference should come to
IN end, either by an agreement or
disagreement, and that they arranged
programme for bringing about the
'eSult.
The programme. as detailed, was to
nave the senate cOnferees do their ut
most to secure an agreement at the
morning conference, and in case of
allure to urge that a disagreement be
'eported without further delay and fail

MISSOURI CORN.
1t Has Improved Considerably Where
There Have Been Rains.

There Have Been Rains.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, Aug. 9-The Mis-
souri, weekly weather-crop bulletin
says;
In the northwest section corn IS reported IN
good condition, with prospects for an average
crop, in Jackson, Clay and portions of Clinton,
Lafayette Buchanan and Holt counties, and
also in St. Charles and portions of Audrain
counties in the northeast section, but in nearly
all other counties of those sections from one
third to one-half crop only is expected. lr
AtchiSOn and Rails counties some fields have
been cut and shocked and in Harrison and
Dav1eSS counties corn is being fed to stock.
In a number Of counties of the central section
corn has improved considerably since the rains,
but in no county does it promise a full yield,
and many correspondents state that it will not
make more than half crop. In Galloway
county some fields have been cut and others
are being paStured. III the southwest section
corn is generally in good condition except in
portions Of Johnson, St. Clair, Dade and
Greene counties In several counties it prom
ises an unusually heavy crop. In number Of
counties of the southeast section the condition
of the crop is much improved since the rains,
and in Ripley and portions of Reynolds Ore
gOn, GaScOnade, Perry, StOddard and Shannon
counties it is doing well, but in several coun-
ties it has been greatly damaged and Will
make little more than half crop.
In those counties where good rains have
fallen grasses are much improved and stock
water is more PLENTIFUL but in most sections
pastures are dry and short, water is scarce and
reports of farmers being obliged to feed their
stock become more numerous each week
Flowing for wheat is in progress in most OF
the southwestern counties where late rains
have put the ground in good condition, but gem
orally in other sections the ground is too dry.
Reports indicate that the acreage of wheat
sown this fall will be greatly reduced.
Late potatoes will be almost failure in some
counties owing to the continued drought, and
in number of the central and northern coun-
ties apples and grapes have been seriously in.
