FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES.
What Congress May Have to ID
About the Indians.

Washington. Dec 14.-Dlscusslng the
probabilities of legislation for change
In the government OF the five civilized
tribes Of Indians, Representative
Wheeler, chairman OF the house COM
mittee on territories, said: ION Decem-
Der 10, 1893, In discussing the bill for
tine admission Of New Mexico, / read
from The treaties of 1885 aud 1856, the
clauses which guarantee that no pro-
portion of the Indian Territory should
ever be embraced or included within,
or annexed to any territory or state,
nor shall either, or any part OF either
ever be erected Into a territory without
the full and free consent OF the legis-
lative authority of the tribe owning
the same.
THE sixth article OF the treaty in
1888 provided that the Indians should
be protected against interruption or
intrusion from citizens o. the United
States who may attempt to settle In
tile country"
In reply TO the proposition then made
TO violate these treaties, l called at
tention to the law which was enacted
on the sd of March, 1898, which pro-
Nlded for commission to negot ate
with the five Indian tribes for THE pur-
pose of eXtinguishment of the national
or tribal title to their lands, with a
view ~ tut ultimate creation OF a
state of the Union from the territory
occupied by the said tribe II Indians
Il stated that this commission had
been appointed and was proceeding to
negotiate with these Indian tribes and
| expressed the opinion that we ought
not to take any action by congress
until the commission had exhausted
every effort to negotiate with these
Indians in the spirit of the law by
wllch tne commission was created.
The commission has been negotiating
now for full year and | regret to say
thut they have not succeeded In annie
ably agreeing In some plan by which
the lands should be allotted in several
~ ana a territory estab lshed with a
government similar to these enjoyed by
the people Of other territories | still
hope this desirable purpose may he
contaminated, for II is very clear from
the evidence we now have OF tie CON
dition Of that country that unless
some amicable agreement Is reached
congress Will be compelled u proceed
70 act according to Its best judg aent
with regard to the five clvi lied tiibes.
me treaties have virtually all been
abrogated by force OF crcumstanc
and by the actions of the Indians L en-
