At the Courthouse Last Night.
The Citizens of Ardmors Take
Action on the Dawes-ChOe-
taw Treaty.
THE PEOPLE AROUSED
And In Mass Meeting Discuss the Pro-
visions oF the Treaty Recently Signed
which WIN Form a BasIs oF Land
Tenures In the Territory.

Pursuant to a call generally
circulated yesterday the citizens
of Ardmore assembled in mass
meeting at the court house last
night for the purpose of discus
sing the townsite provisions of
the Dawes-Choctaw treaty re-
Gently signed and made public
through the press of the terri
tory. The court room was well
filed with property owners,
when at 1880 Rev. n. +. Law
nominated Mr.. G. J.. Byrnes as
chairman of the meeting. Jas.
Williams was unanimously chos-
en- secretary and the meeting
was ready for business.
On motion Clarence B. Doug
las stated the object of the
meeting, and by request read
that portion of the treaty affect
ing the townsites.
The order of business then
adopted on motion of J. a.
Mcclure was: First, statements
of objections to the treaty. Sec
ond, remedies suggested. Third,
appointment of committees.
DR.. Wolverton then addressed
the meeting, criticizing those
portions of the treaty which re-
fer to Improvement, time of pay
ments and value of property,
and suggested amendments on
these particular provisions.
A. Eddleman, G. b. Douglas,
R. W. Dick, Rev. Volney john
son, Judge A. Walcott, j. 5.
Hammer, II. c. Potterf, Thos.
Norman and others discussed
the various features of the
treaty at length and the follow
ing resolution was introduced
by c. B. Douglas:
Resolved, That we condemn
the provisions OF the treaty
which provides for the appraise-
ments of lots at present values,
also the payment of 30 per cent
of the price within thirty days;
also, the section pertaining to
Improvements, and that section
relative to cemeteries.
After some discussion this
resolution was withdrawn with
the result that the follow
ing motion carried: That the
chair appoint a committee of
five to prepare suitable memoir
ials and suggestive amendments
to be reported to a mass meet
ing Monday night at the court
house. Also, a committee of
five to report on ways and
means of getting concerted ac-
tion on the matter and securing
concerted action throughout the
territory. This committee also
to report to a mass meeting
next Monday night.
The committees were then ap-
pointed as follows:

ments-Dr. Wolverton, presi-

TILE CAUsE OF CUBA.

The latest news of successes by the pa
triots In Cuba reawakens interest In some
of the consequences to this country OF her
probable success. Other matters have oc-
cuped public attention for several weeks.
but the Cuban question is Of infinitely more
Importance to US just now than that relat-
ing to Venezuela.
II Cuba should secure her Independence
she would owe very little to the great re-
public for assistance rendered during the
struggle. We are compelled, as the ad-
ministration interprets international law,
to act almost as an ally to Spain and In
directly as an ally TO England, whose in
terests are almost Identical with that coun-
try The administration. no doubt has the
authority OF precedents to justify US in
withholding any aid 10 the Cubans, yet
Cuba is working out for US the destiny or
our nation. Should Cuba be lost TO Europe.
British preponderance in the West Indies
would be largely reduced, and our own
country find powerful ally on the Gulf of
Mexico. Cuba is not far from England's
strongholds in Jamaica and the Bahamas.
II lies between the British islands OF New
Providence and Jamaica, and It was the
port OF Nassau in New Providence that
was the chosen resort for British blockade
runners during our civil war.
Spain has a sentimental interest In re-
tanning her hold upon Cuba, but England
is far more concerned In any effort TO weak
en- the hold OF a European country upon
any part of this continent Our sympa-
thy with Cuba, therefore. has the selfish
motive behind 1t that every step toward
loosening OF the grip of foreign mon
archy upon American soil. tends TO weak
en- the position OF England, which must be
a perpetual menace to American auton-
omy so long as her flag floats over forth
ncatlons at Halifax. Esquimalt. Nassau.
Kingston, Belize. Barbados and George
town.
While, therefore. international law may
forbid our recognizing rebels against
the authority OF country with which we
are still sustaining friendly diplomatic re-
latIons, our own interests are so deeply
involved that we need not stretch that law
to the detriment OF a people who. by sheer
force Of geographical circumstances, must
become our friends. Their condition, even
after Spain shall have been driven from
sovereignty. will call for msch paternal
and fostering care on our part to the end
that no greater peril 10 US arises out Of
their utter dependence and the poverty
which must follow the long and harassing
struggle.

The chief grievance Of these miners IS
that they are taxed without representa-
ton. But the constitution declares that
they cannot have a voice in the legislature
until twelve years after they are natural

are heavily taxed. and they ought to see
more benefits in the shape OF good schools
for their children, more adequate police
protection from the rowdy element, and q
better system Of mining inspection. Much
has been done for them by the govern
ment. but they can rightfully demand
more. Yet the republic is not wholly TO

THE \. p. RECEIvERsHIP.
Hearing Before the United states SUI
nreme Court Inday.

Hearing Before the United states SUI
preme Court Today.
Washington City, Jan. 13-The lawyers
in the Northern Pacific railroad case have
made an engagement with Justices Har-
Ian, Field and Brewer, OF the supreme
court. for the presentation OF the facts in
those cases tomorrow. They will ask to
have the road either placed under one re-
ceiver or under one set of receivers. who
will have charge OF the road as an entire
~, instead OF the present plan OF numer-
Gus Independent receiverships The circuit
OF each of these judges covers portion
of the road.
The hearing viii take place in chambers,
and will be In the nature OF a presentation
OF the facts IN the case by all the parties
in interest, including the holders Of the
bonds and stocks Of the road. They are all
agreed that the conflict between the courts
along the line of the road as TO jurisdic-
ton Is injurious to the property and must
eventually result in great loss unless ter
minated. The recent action OF Judge Gill
bert in unifying the receivership In the
Ninth circuit is regarded as useful only to
the extent Of cutting off the salaries of two
men who have been eliminated from the
receivership in that jurisdiction. All the
interests now appeal to the supreme court
justices who preside in the respective cir
cults which the road penetrates, and they
are asked TO solve the problem presented
by the conflict in the courts. The receive
ers in New York continue as heretofore
while in the Seventh and Eighth judicial
circuits. embracing the states of Wisconsin,
Minnesota and North Dakota, there are
two receivers, and still another in the
Ninth circuit, in control OF that part of the
road lying west of North Dakota. The
last named receiver Is not working in har-
mony with the other two. The various in
terests are unanimous in seeking TO have
Justices Harlan, Field and Brewer agree
on unified receivership for the entire
line, and in asking them to recommend
the appointment OF such a receiver by all
the courts engaged IN the conflict.

SEATTLE, TUESDAY. JAN. IA.


The admirable decision OF the supreme
street grading shows that the court of last
resort IN this state intends to follow the
broad stream OF judicial precedents and
not the narrow. contracted current OF au-
thorfty. II viii commend itself TO most
men as an eminently wise and just ruling.
1t will. moreover. raise the credit OF Seat
tie abroad by insuring the redemption OF
thousands OF dollars worth of street grade
warMnts whose integrity had been jeop-
ardlzed by some OF the earlier decisions Of
the court. Some outstanding warrants
cannot be given virtue by any construc-
ton OF tho law and they ought 10 be rale-
rated to the condition OF outlawry their
bandit actions deserve. Where property
has been benefited, where streets have been
graded in good faith. where work has been
done and material supplied. the city will
be enabled now TO enforce its assessments
and redeem It's warrants. notwithstanding
any irregularity in the proceedings due to
nonfeasance or misfeasance on the part OF
careless or conniving officials. But where
streets have been recklessly run through.
as some were in the heyday OF prosperity,
at the instIgation or rapacious contractors,
with little regard for the benefits con-
ferred on property or the relative cost OF
the work 70 its value as a public improve
ment. there IS no advantage given by the
decision. In such cases the city and the
property owners alike have an equitable
right 70 resist being victimlzed
