WAITE TO HIS LEGISLATORS.
COlOradO's Governor Scores the Sem
atOrs for Alleged Malice.

DENVER, Col, Jan. Ex-Governor Waite
has prepared his message to the Senate in
answer to the request of that body for ex-
ecutive interference in the adjournment
deadlock. The document administers some
sharp rebukes for what his Excellency
looks at course more notable for the
malice than the consistency displayed. The
Governor states that he does not feel JUS
titled in interfering unless requested to do
SO by the lower house, intimating that
the latter body is the only one of the two
that has shown any inclination to respect
and observe the laws. In reference to the
assertion that the Senate cannot or will
not transact any business, the Governor
calls attention to the eagernesS with which
the appointments he sent in Friday were
acted on, though in his opinion there is
grave doubt as to the authority of the Sen
ate TO affirm or reject any appointments
at a special session not called for that
particular purpose. He makes q few other
points OF minor interest, but the fact that
the Senate has shown its willingness to do
business under some circumstances is given
as his main reason for refusing to ad-
journ the Legislature

GOVERNOR HoGG is very emphatic
in refusing the request of the Dick

ans of Houston to accept the sugar
bounty and apply it to the support of
disabled Confederate veterans. Gov

When he gets a little older he will

Out Of His Death Watch.
! CHICAGO, March 27.-Prendergast
attempted to punch the eyes out OF
Charles Johnson, his death watch, u
late this afternoon. He used broom
stick and struck Johnson in the face
twice as the latter sat in front of the
cell, barely missing JOhnson's left eye.
Jailer Morris ordered Prendergast re-
moved to the dungeon as soon as the
affair was reported to him. Prender-

taken out torcibly by Guard Thomp-

to the alters but was finally landed
in the dungeon, where he was kept
for couple of hours. The trouble
which aroused the prisoner was caus-
ed by Johnson compelling the pris-
oner to sit down when he was at
tempting to make speech to the
court. Prendergast was wrathtul and
broke loose when Johnson had left the
court room.

THE INDIAN TREATY.

It is unfortunate that the Indians
who visited Austin in the last Ie"
DAYS in behalf of the claim OF their
tribe to lands by reason Of treaty
made with the Cherokees by General
Houston, could not be made 10 under
stand that the treaty under which
they claim, made in 1886, was never
confirmed by congress, nor were the
Indians faithful to their part OF the
contract. 1t was very desirable AT
that time that the Indians IN
Texas, who held lands under grants
from the Mexican government should
be paciieG and reconciled to change
from the Mexican government to the
Texas Republic, in administration
and the treaty was made with that
object, but the Indians abused the
conference of the Texas government
and used all their power to betrsy II
to Mexico.
Under these circumstances the urea
ty was, in point OF 1act'
abrogated and the lands IN
question have gone into the hands OF
innocent purchasers, and citizens OF
Texas. If these Indians have any
equitable rights under this treaty or
any other, their appeal can be made
only to the legislature of the state OF
Texas. Every facility ought to be al
forded these Indians to present their
claims, if they have any, to the
next session of the legislature.
