which were below the standard. which was adopted
by tho House yesterday. does not please either the
President or the Secretary of the Navy. Why TINS
should be nobody seems quite to understand. Oi
course Mr. Cummings compelled to have the
information. and Congress is entitled 10 nave H.
inasmuch as It has been asked TO make a very large
appropriation at this session 10 enable the Secre-
tary OF the Navy make payments on the armor
plate contracts. Mr. Cummings. chairman OF the
Committee on Naval Affairs will have charge OF the
Naval Appropriation bill and will be called upon
10 explain and defend It's provisions

CHERoKEEs CONTROL THEIR OWN BONDS


Washington. March 4.-So far as the Interior
Department is concerned the question OF the as
signment of the bonds Of the Cherokee Nation was
settled this afternoon, when the Secretary of the
Interior approved opinion rendered by Assistant
Secretary Sims in which ii is held that the Chero-
kee Nation is the proper body to say to whom the
bonds shall be given. II was insisted on the part
of Mr. Chadick Of New-York. one of the cOntesting
parties that he submitted a written proposition TO
the National Council of the Cherokee Nation to
take the bonds OF that nation based upon the in
debtedness of the United States. for which he
agreed TO pay s6.715.o0O This proposition was ac-
cepted by the Cherokee Nation but il Is alleged by
them that Chadck did not carry out the contract
in good faith. Shortly afterward the National
Council passed an act accepting proposition made
by r. T. Wilson, on account of New-York capital
lists TO take the assignment OF the Indebtedness Of
the United States to the Cherokee Nation for
Sc 10000 In the opinion the Secretary says the
department cannot consider or decide the contro-
versy 10 whether the Cherokee Nation is bound
to carry out one contract or the other.
