Cherokee Petition.

.Tahlequah, l. t., May 3d.
Quite a surprise greeted the
Dawes commission at the open
ing of the afternoon session
yesterday. A set of resolutions
adopted at a mass meeting of
citizens of the Cherokee nation
were presented, asking that a
territorial form of government
be Immediately placed over the
Indian Territory. The reason
for asking this was that ac-
cording to the provisions of
the Indian appropriation bill
recently passed by congress the
power of the judiciary is taken
away. 1t is now thought agree
ment can be reached within a
week.
