WASHINGTON. November 2i.-The
anomalous condition of affairs now exist
Ing between the United States and the
periurbed Indian Territory makes in
tenscly interesting report submitted to-
day TO the Secretary OF the Interior by
the commission sent 10 investigate mat
ters concerning the five civilized tribes
Of Indians. II the recommendations OF
the commission are adopted, the Federal
Government viii recover possession of the
great domain owned hy these people. and
revoke The right given them 10 govern
themselves. Charges that the tribal gov
ernments have perverted the trust con-
ferred by the United States, and also
shown their inability TO care for their IN
tcrests. are preferred by the commission,
which concludes It's report with these
straightforward sentences:
the United States put the title OF a
domain Of countless wealth and unmea-
sured resources in these several tribes
or nationalltles. but II was con-
veyanco In trust for specific uses. clearly
indicated in the treaties themselves, and
for no other purpose. 1T was for the
use and enjoyment In common Of each
and every citizen Of his tribe Of each
and every part OF the territory, thus
tersely expressed in one Of the treaties,
to be held in common. so that each ana
every member Of either tribe shall have
an equal. undivided interest in the whole
The tribes can make no other use Of II.
They have no power to grant 1t to any
one. or 10 grant to any one an exclusive
use OF any portion of it.
These tribal governments have wholly
perverted their high trust and IT Is the
plain duty of the United states TO enforce
the trust ii has so created, or discharge
the trustees.
"The United States also grants to these
tribes the power OF self-gOvernment. not
TO conflict with the Constitution. They
have demonstrated their inability to
govern themselves. and no higher duty
can rest upon the government than 10
revoke the grant where 1t has so lament
ablv failed"

meetings, at each OF which the company
was represented, they finally onered the
city a reduction OF 60 per cent, which
offer your committee did not accept, az
this was foreign TO our request, hence
We were unable to make any definite re-
port. Since our last meeting they nave
declined to accede to the request
We have been quite diiigent IN our
search for Information relative 10 tn's

recommendations:
1. That the Grounds and Buildings

pertaining to giving them any privileges,
and thereby allowing the franchises "
them or other companies. as IN tneir
Judgment they may deem proper. anu 10
formulate an ordinance that will place the
city on an equitable basis.
Your committee do not wish 70 urs
you with any leng hy statement as 10
what taxes the company are paying, as
they have gohe over that matter tno-
roughly, and, as before stated, In adai-
lion TO those taxes, think our request
very moderate one.
Your committee feel constrained to say
that in their opinion franchises nave
been too literally granted, and that the
time has come to call a halt. for the
protection OF the city's interest as well
as the citizens.
Your committee are prepared to go into
detail II required.
The question OF granting permission ioi
underground condults for which the
company proposes to make application az

seems to be that whether the wires are

be made open for competing compahie'

CLEVELAND. o., November n.-The
women's Christian Temperance Union
Convention was brought to close to-
night with a meeting In Music Hall under
the auspices of the federated unions
Of this city. The convention has been
the most successful In the history OF the
union, and the delegates are loud In
their praise OF the hospitality OF Cieve-
land temperance women. Next year
convention will probably be held In Baiti-
more, although Kansas City Is formid-
able applicant. The decision rests with
the Executive Committee. Among the
resolutions adopted were the following:
'Resolved, That we look with alarm
Mt the increasing desecration or the
Sabbath, and the demands OF the liquor
traffic for the open Sunday saloon, ana
call upon the executives OF the law ana
others in authority, as well as moral ana
religious people. to unite In the enforce
ment OF such laws as do exist, and TO
prevent further encroachments on this
day OF rest

persistent efforts for securing the en-
franchisement Of women.
"Resolved, That the National Womans
Christian Temperate Union endorses
with pride the heroic action of Kentucky
women In their determined overthrow oi
impurity In high places, and In their de-
mand for the annihllation OF EEK In moral
standards.
I'VE recommend that each State organ
instruct its union to endeavor TO secure
by law the appointment OF a committee
of both men and women who shall pass
upon the character and tendency Of all
public spectacles.
1--WE deprocate the social amusements
OF arl-pla7ing, theitre-going, 6nd pro-
m.scuous dancing.

In the Matter OF Telephones.
The decision Of the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings at their meeting
Tuesday night to recommend to the
Council that all OF the rights and fran
chises now enjoyed by the Southern Bell
Telephone Company be revoked was a
surprise to the telephone people and was
the leading topic Of discussion in mu-
niclpal circles. Perhaps nothing In the
Dispatch, with the exception of the Nc
Nance trial and the Methodist Confer
ence appointments, was read with more
general interest.
The report adopted by tho committee
will be submitted to the Common Council
the first Monday In December, and.
II adopted by both branches and APP
proved by the Mayor. the company will
have one year In which to secure new
rights. In other words, the Council can
not revoke the existing privileges without
twelve months notice. The telephone
people are rather reticent, but Major
Stiles intimated at Tuesday nights meet
ing that II forced to do so the company
would fight in the courts for what 1t con-
celves to be It's rights.
The report adopted was signed by
Messrs. Marx. Gunst. and J. NJ. King. OF
