TIE Dawes Cennisslsa.

President Cleveland has written
Z letter tonching the work of the
Dawes Commission, and the
Commission has transmitted them
to the chiefs, together with a
formal notice of their presence
and A mission. The Commission
begun active work Monday. The
letter impresses the friendliness
and fairness OF the administration
towards the Indians, and while it
does not direct Q course to be
pursued, it carries the impression
that it would be better for the
Indians to treat with the Com
mission than to take chances with
Congress.
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, May 4.
Hon Hoke Smith. Secretary Of the Interior:
MY DEAR SIR:-As the Com.
missioners to negotiate and treat
with the Five Civilized tribes of
Indians are about to resume their
labors my interest in the subject
they have IN charge induces me to
write you q few words concern
ing their work.
As said to The Commissioners
when they were first appointed, /
am especially desirous that there
shall be no reason, in all time to
come, to charge the Commission
with any unfair dealing with the
Indians, and that whatever the
result of their efforts may be, the
Indians will not be led into any
action which they do not
thoroughly understand or which
is not clearly for their benefit.
At the same time l still believe,
as l have always believed, that
the best interests of the Indians
will be found in American citizen
ship, with all the rights and
privileges which belong to that
condition. The approach TO this
relation should be carefully made,
and at every step the good and
welfare of the Indian should con-
stantly be kept in view, so that
when the end is reached, citizen
ship may be to them a real
advantage instead of an empty
name.
I hope the Commission will
inspire such confidence in those
with whom they are to deal tina,
they will be listened to, and that
the Indians will see the wisdom
and advantage in moving in the
direction as l have indicated.
If they are unwilling to &c
Immediately SO far as we think
desirable, whatever steps are
taken should be such as point out
the way, and the result of which
will encourage those people il
further progress.
A slow move of that kind fully
understood by the Indians, il
Infinitely better than swifte
results gained by broken pledgel
and false promises.
Yours Very Truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND

The Income Tax Knocked C0ld-Dls.
sentIng Justices Call the Action
Revolutionary.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The
income tax was knocked out
today. Four dissenting opinions
were delivered in these cases.
One each by Justices Harlan,
Brown, Jackson and White, show.
ing the court had stood five to
four against the law, inasmuch as
one Of these dissenting opinions
was handed down by Justice
Jackson, and as he was absent al
the first hearing, when the court
was divided evenly on the ques-
ton Of sustaining the law on all
points except those as to tax on
incomes from rents and bonds, 1t
follows that one Of the members
of the court WHO at first pro.
nounced for the law, except on
these two points, changed his
attitude after the second
argument.
There is very little question
that Justice Shiras is the Justice
who has changed his views on
these points. While the opinion
of the Chief Justice was largely a
review of the general aspects of
questions involved, he based the
opinion of the court today upon
the argument that the provisions
of law regarding tax on rents and
bonds we're so essential factors
of it as to render all other parts
oft dependent on them and in
accordance with the we'll known
rule Of law bearing on this ques-
ton, the law as q whole must be
declared invalid.
The opinions Of Justices Harlan
and White were concluded In
language so vigorous, and so
emphatic in their arraignment Of
the majority as to cause very
general comment. Both Justices
indicated their belief that the
ruling opinion was revolutionary,
and intimated that serious conse.
quences might ensue. Justice
Harlan suggested the necessity OF
amending the constitution in view
of the opinion. Justice Harlan
delivered the principal dissenting
opinion.
After a brief argument againat
the position of the court constru.
ing the taxes on incomes derived
from rents as direct tax. He said:
TN my judment this decision
strikes at the very foundations Of
national authority, in that it denies
to the general government a
power which is, or may at some
time, in great emergency, such as
that Of war, become vital to the
existence and preservation of the
union.
"If this new theory of constitu-
ton, as / believe it to be; if this
new departure from the way
marked out by our fathers ia
justified by the fundamental law,
the American people cannot too
soon amend their constitution"

The great progress made in wrecking
appliances and their operation during the
past ten years, is shown in the successful
floating of the steamship Nerito which
went on Sable Island last September and
was totally abandoned. So certain were
the underwriters that the ship would go
to pieces on the sands and prove a
total wreck, that all insurance claims
on the steamer and cargo were settled
within a short time after the disaster,
and the Nerito's name removed from the
registers. The Merritt Wreckng Com
pany, after an examination of the strand
ed vessel, decided that with a new sys-
tenn of pumps the company has lately
perfected, the Nerito could be floated. An
arrangement was made with Lloyd's
agents whereby the agents were to re-
ceive rs per cent of the steamers value
in the event of their bringing her to port.
Some weeks ago operations were COM
menced, the company's powerful wreck
ing steamer, j. d. Jones, being employed
in the work. The result is that the Nep-
ito has been towed into Halifax blythe
Jones, and after partial repairs will be
taken to New York. The Nerito is nearly
5000 tons gross, and is practically new
vessel, having been built at Sunderland
in 1891. This is the first instance on
record where a ship once touching the
dreaded sands of Sable island has ever
again seen service.
