INTERNATIoNAL COUNCIL
Essseru and Southern LsslsIstlons 70
be Asked TO Refrain From Tskiae
Part tn the Tribal Dissolution.

Eufaula, |. r.. July 31.-The
international council of the five
civilized tribes adjourned late
last night after two days
heated session. The Chcrokees
and portion of every other
delegation save the Seminoles,
favored some kind of negotia-
ton with the Dawes commission
and q resolution was finally re-
ported and passed recommend
ing that the governors of the
tribes convene their councils in
extra session for the purpose of
taking action looking to the
end.
\ resolution was also passed
recommending that the five
tribes send delegations to east
ern and southern legislatures to
ask that memorials be passed in
St'ucting members of congress
to refrain from passing legisla-
ton tending to a breaking up
Of Indian Territory tribal rela-
tiOns: that the tribes be given
time to settle their own affairs.
There was a respectable sen
timent among the delegates fol
exclusive Indian statehood and
such a scheme was proposed,
but il was looked upon by the
majority of the delegates as i'm.
possible.
1t appears TO be the general
impression that the CherokeCs
will treat with the Dawes com.
mission and that the other tribes
may reluctantly follow their ex.
ample.
An Indian bureau Of informa.
ton was recommended for the
purpose Of dispensing in the
south and east literature scttine
forth The true condition i'm tho
territory apd for the rcfutatioI
of false amt damaging reports
ln1w current.
! While many delegates from
nearly all the tribes were for 4
treaty from mere necessity they
all said the masses of their peo
pie were appoSed to any chang,
! whatever.

Dawes Commission Return.
4. S. MCkENEoN.

Judge A. B. Montgomery, Of
the Dawes commission, was IN
the city last evening returning
from Tuskahoma. where he,
with Capt. MckeHnon and Col.
Cabiness, had been FOR Il con-
ference with Governor Gardi-
ner. Capt. McKennon and Col.
Cabiness preceded the Judge on
the return trip. they having
taken the route for heapiuarterS
via Ft. Smith.
Judge Montgomery had little
to sag concerning the trip to
Tuskahoma. He was evidently
considerably disappointed over
thr i'll success OF il, and dis
missed all interTogatives con-
cerning it with a FEW words as
possible. Chief Gardiner failed
TO meet tile commission for the
proposed conference and ac-
cordingly nothing was accom-
plished. The three members of
thp commission who were on
the trip deeply Pegret that the
Indian administrations raoord
th@m such treatment and, OF
course, are not feeling very well
satisfied with the progress that
they are making.

I IT appears to us that the re-
calcitrant heads of the ChOc-
taws and Chickasaws are max
ing great mistake III refusing
TO meet and confer with the
Dawes commission concerning
the citizenship rolls. There is,
of course, no way of getting
them to do this unless they
choose to do so out of common
courtesy, but it seems that this
alone should be a sufficient
reason, if there are no other or
better one. The commission
has q certain work assigned ii
here among the tribes by act OF
congress and it is here for the
purpose of accomplishing it. 1t
is worse than folly TO undertake
to impede it by downright OBJ
stinancy; snch a course will only
serve to hasten the end that it
is desired to delay, and more
over, it is discourtesy for which
there is no excuse. The Indian
administrations which meet
with the commission for confer
enee whenrequested and accords
it respectful hearing or grants
it reasonable favors are the ones
that are really protecting and
conserving their own interests:
the ones that remain obstinate
and unapproachable are COM
mitting an error that is, viewed
from any standpoint, unpardon-
Sable. considering the declared
and well known policy of the
government relating to Indian
affairs. State Journal.
