Territory has become ono Of great i'm

white people i'll the Indian Territory.
They have built up towns, but are mere
tenants at sutfcrance, without q particle
Of title to tho lands on which they built.
Tho Indian courts are closed against
them, rs ere the Indian schools to their
children. 5000 of whom havo no other
opportunity for schooling, excepting
those whose parents arc ablo to hire pri-
vate teachers. They havo no voice in the
governments of these five nations, nor "a
police officer TO protect them or their
property against violence.
1t will DO the object of tho commits
sion, first, to obtain such q solution Of
the town site question that those who
havo built up these towns and invested

pensivo stores and trading places may

AT Villcneuvele-Roi he was obliged, for
want of time, to refuse an invitation to
lunch. A brother officer rushed out of

ate with gusto. A few days later, tho

dinner, "That is q pretty affair of yours
my son has told me all about it, -
"What affair does your majesty refer
to?" asked Verdy.
TWAS this. The crown prince had re-
