After Their Old Treaty.
The house committee on Indian Affairs
hns been wrestling with some very co.npli-
Gated cases, and their room has been Iaade
a center of attraction by the presence Of
several truly noble red men. Out OF the
various measures considered and likely r.
excite interest in the house one in particu-
lar may be taken as specimen OF dealings
with the Indians. 1t appears that in Sep
tember, 1892. Messrs. David II. jerome,
Alfred NJ. Wilson and Warren G. Sayer,
composing the Cherokee commission,
drafted treaty with the Kiowa, Comrnche
and Apache tribes Of Indians resident in
Oklahoma territory, and that the Indians
soon after repudiated this treaty and de-
clared that they were grossly deceived.
The interpreter told them that they were
to receive 81 so per mere for their land, and
that the new treaty would not take effect
until the expiration Of tho treaty they are
now living under, which will be late in
1897. In fact, however, the treaty only
gave them some 80 cents an acre for then
land after providing an allotment CT 100
acres to each Indian and was to go in force
Immediately. When the chiefs came to the
commission and demonstrated against the
treaty, asking to have their names remov.
- ed, they were threatened with imprison-
ment, and the confirmation OF this treaty
IL now in bill which congress must con-
slider.
Fine Looking Aborigines.
The Indians selected Lieutenant II. p.
Scott of the Seventh United States cavalry
as the hend of their delegation and sent
with him their three principal chiefs AT
