the Dawes Indian commission reviewed
the situation in the territory, and advo-
Gated ratification of The treaty made with
the Seminole tribe, the only one of the
agreements in shape for such action. As
to town sites he suggested requirements
of title by the Indians to their lands
through partitions, proceedings to be in

To satisfy negotiations with the tribes,

for the Whole territory was necessary.
The committee will urge that the Curtis

by the members of The subcommittee,
provides for a division of the fee land in
