THE NATIONS WARDS,

visions with the United States. with the
right of self-government and the exclusion
CT all white persons from within their bor-
ders, have undergone complete a change
as to render the continuance of the system
thus inaugurated practically impossible
The total number of the Five Civilized
Tribes, as SHOWN by the last census, is A.
494, and this number has not materially in
creased while the white population is esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000, which by
permission of the Indian Government has
settled in the Territory. The present area
Of the Indian Territory contains 1904, 564
acres, much of which is very fertile land
The United States citizens residing in the
Territory, most of whom have gone there
by invitation or with the consent of the
tribal authorities, have made permanent
homes for themselves. Numerous towns
have been built in which from 500 to 5000
white people now reside. Valuable resi-
dences and business houses have been cree
ted in many of them. Large business en-
terprises are carried on in which vast sums
of money are employed, and yet these peo-
pie, who have invested their capital in the
development of the productive resources of
the country, are without title to the land
they occupy and have no voice whatever in
the government either of the Nations or
Tribes. Thousands of their children who
were horn in the Territory are of school
age, but the doors of the schools of the
Nations are shut against them and what
education they get is by private contribu-
ton. No provision for the protection of
the life or property of these white citizens
is made by the Tribal Governments, and
Courts.
TheeSecretary Of the Interior reports that
leading Indians have absorbed great tracts
of land to the exclusion of the common
people, and government by an Indian aris-
tccracy has been practically established
to the detriment of the people. 1t has been
found impossible for the United States to
keep its citizens out of the Territory and
the executory conditions contained in the
treaties with these Nations have for the
most part become impossible of execution.
Nor has 1t been possible for the Tribal
Governments to secure to each individual
Indian his full enjoyment In common with
other Indians of the common property Of
the Nations. Friends of the Indians have
lo1g balieved that the best interests Of the
Indians Of the Five Civilised Tribes would

siders that the land occupied by the
forces of Germany at Kiao Chou bay,
Shan Tun peninsula, China, is INSULT
Gent for naval station and pro-
poses to enlarge its holdings there,
"diplomatically, if possible"
If Germany does intend to keep the
land seized it may lead to serious COM
plications, if Russia pays heed to China's
appeal for protection.
According to- Washington advices
China has made this appeal to the Bear
to GUST Germany from her territory.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
Chinese government to get Germany to
name date when she would withdraw
her forces, the German government has
taken no step in the matter, and the
fear is expressed in eastern and Euro
pean diplomatic circles that her occu-
patton, if not of permanent character
now, is simply preliminary to such an
end.
Berlin, Nov. 24.-The newspapers of
this city report that Prince Henry of
Prussia, brother of Emperor William,
is to take command of the German
