ton Differ as to Fees.

tiOn Differ as to Fees.
The House and Senate conferees on the
Indian appropriation bill have been unable
to agree for three weeks, and, from a re-
this morning that there would be no agree
ment at this session If the Senate con-
ferees do not accept the propositions OF
the House men. The disagreement, It is
stated, is over the matter Of the payment
of attorneys fees.
About three years ago the "old settler
Cherokee Indians" obtained judgments
against the government for something over
100000. The House passed a law provid-
ing that the attorneys engaged in the case
should be paid out of the Judgment The
law provided that the ISecretary of the In
terror should pass up6n tie claims Of the
attorneys, awarding item payment accord
ing to their services TIE House confer
ees claim that the Secretary did this work
faithfully and satisfacto rily. When the In
dian appropriation bAl passed the Senate
amendments were made providing for the
payment Of fees to certain lawyers. The
Senate alle wed one attorney, it is stated,
$4,000 for his services. when Secretary
Smith had previously allowed him only
5000. Altogether the Senate added at
least $4,000 more for feesthan the Secre-
tary had granted. The House conferees
propose that the whole matter of the
claims of the attorneys shah be referred to
to the Senate amendnertsi going through
the House. They say they will hold their
position Until the next session Before they

LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Convention Of tho Cook County
Democracy at Chicago.
SILVER MEN IN FULL CONTROL
Gold Standard Voters Kept Away
From the Polls.
LOOKING TO. RIA


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 26.-Gov. Altgeld
and the free silver democrats clinch their
advantage Of regularity in the Cook county
convention today. The primaries yester-
day afternoon were contested in few In
stances by the gold men, The tickets were
headed Against the gold standard" Claim
is made by the silverites that 10000 votes
were cast. The sound money democrats
had watchers at all the polls, who kept
tab. They say evidence will be presented
to the national committee showing that
not 5000 votes were cast in the entire city.
However. there Is no gainsaying that to-
days county convention Is the regular
one. The delegates chosen to the state
convention at Peoria have fair sprinkiing
of men who are not extreme on silver, but
this has been done matter Of policy
1t will not affect the overwhelming free
silver majority in the state convention.
Governor Altgeld and his friends, having
shown that their control of the party
machinery is complete, are now acting
with q moderation that makes 1t more DIFF
ficult for the anti-silverites to form the
bases for a bolt.
A. s. Trude, who was selected for pre-
siding officer OF today's convention, says
bly, be one of the delegates-at-iarge. Trude
has bitter personal feud with ex-Mayor
Hopkins. who is at the head of the sound
money organization.
The anti-Silver democrats having for the
most part KEEP. out of the primaries and Of
the convention, will hold a meeting Thurs
day night and go ahead with what they
call the reorganization Of the democratic
party In Illinois. They insist that their
purpose to send a contesting delegation to
the national convention, to name a new
state central committee and to nominate a
state ticket Is unchanged. The anti-silver
cause in Illinois appears to be languishing,
and the reason appears to be the lack of
sympathy by the majority Of democrats
with it.
Gov. Altgeid and his supporters are to-
day immensely pleased at the outlook
which they think presages the collapse of
the projected bolt. The county convention
today made plain that ex-Congressman
Cable is to be retired from the national
committee. and that Mr.. Thomas Gahann,
a slverite office holder under Gov. Altgeld,
is to be given his place.
