NEW INDIAN BILL.
Lands to be Devided Among the Indi-
vidusls of the Five Civilized Tribes.
White Settler Protected.

A Washington special to the Dallas
News of Feb. S, says:
The Dawes Indian commission has
finally got down to work and the
evidences of what they are doing
will probably appear in detail next
Thursday
The bill, as has been said, which
the Dawes commission and the sub
committee of Indian affairs of the
senate are at work on, while not yet
perfected, has proceeded far enough
to out line what the main features of
it will be.
1t will provide for the division of
the lands among the individuals of
the five tribes, and the census for
this purprse will be under the con-
troll of the Dawes commission, and
It is at present proposed that it shall
complete the work of dividing the
land among those entitled to it. The
plan is to take the entire number of
indians and set apart so much land
LOT each one of them. 1t is not ex-
pected that the government will
drive the Indians on this land, but
II VIII say that each Indian is ell
utled to SO much land, and that the
hrst Indian who settles on part set
out for the individual shall hold it.
Inc effect of this will be, it is thought
10 make every Indian enter on the
separate lands so that they can get
the choice.
another thing will be done and that
is 10 take away all the jurisdiction of
the Indian courts and put Indian
cases, as well as other cases, in the
leueral courts now in that territory.
IL was said that it was contemplated
10 allow the Indians to retain their
PROBATE matters in their own courts,
out this idea seems to have been
abandoned.
All the lands in the territory are to
De divided under the proposed law
except the mineral lands and the
lands or lots in the towns. In the
ease OF the mineral lands, the rents
from them are to be placed in fund
" oe held in trust for the Indians.
AS TO the town sites, these are to be
disposed of for the benefit of the
UiDes, and the towns are to be given
municipal governments. The grazing
lands are to be divided up as other
lands in the country.
Ihe white settlers in the territory
are 10 be protected. 1t is said here
