CREEK CITIZENSHIP.
Sensational Motion for an Appeal from the
Decision Of the Dawes Commission.

Decision OF the dawes commission.
MusKoeEE, l. T.. April 2s.-Judge
Springer yesterday heard motion by
Gen. Turner to appeal to the district
court from the decision Of the Dawes
commission rejecting claimants for cit
izenship in the Creek nation. The mo-
ton is the opening wedge to litigation
of the widest scope. In the argument
Gen. Turner alleged that the Dawes COM
mission had departed from the law pro-
vided for its guidance in citizenship
underestimate had ignored and violated
every custom and practice Of the terri
tory courts which congress enjoined 1t
to observe; that the commission had
gone beyond the bounds OF the terri
tory and posed as court OF last re-
sort, rejecting claims without evidence,
at the dictation Of the district attorney
and officials OF the Creek nation, giving
the aggrieved no right Of representa-
ton.
Judge Springer withheld his de-
cision, pending the result Of certain
bills now before congress proposing
changes in the judiciary Of the terri
tory. He, however, gave it as his
opinion that, in the light Of equity,
the motion should be granted. There
are 5000 similar cases in the northern
district alone which hinge upon the
result of this motion. Interests in
volved are estimathd at $4,000

BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.


II IL Brought to an Abrupt Close bya Wit

topeka. Kan, April 2s.-Represent-
stive T. C. Davis, Of Wilson county,
has defed the bribery investigating
committee by refusing TO answer ques-
tons and will be committed for con-
tempt Davis attorney, J. N. Ken
needy, who is prosecuting attorney of
Wilson county. arrived last night and
will at once commence habeas corpus
proceedings In the supreme court for
his release on the ground that the COM
mittee is not legally constituted. An
effort will be made TO have the court
hear the case at the earliest possible
date.
Chairman Outcalt announces that no
more testimony will be taken till the
question involving the legality Of the
committee Is settled. 1t Is not known
just what points will be raised in the
Davis case, but the lawyers expect
that an attack will be made upon the
joint resolution creating the commit
tee because 1t did not state that the
committee should sit after the ad journ-
ment Of the legislature.
Davis refusal to answer questions
created q sensation. The committee
expected much from him. 1t has been
reported that he knew o member OF
the legislature who said he had re-
ceived money. Davis admitted that
he had reported information, but re-
fused to impart it TO the committee for
various reasons.

A Prospect That Deboe VIII Be Elected
Senator To-Day,

FRANKFORT, KY April 9s.-The two
political armies here are fighting as
never before. The Blackburn people,
who see the prize slipping from them
and the election Of DebOe almost GER
tain to occur to-day, are making des-
perate efforts to stave off the election.
They are following up the letters they
produced yesterday, touching the silver
sympathies and proclivities Of the new
nominee, and last night had received
an even more passable free silver ex-
preston, said to have gone from.
Deboe to the populists when he was
candidate before and about the time
the famous free silver pledges Of Hun
ter were given. While some repub-
leans think the new nominee has, even
upon his own statement, gone nearly
as far as Hunter In his free silver ex-
pressions, none Of them seem disposed
to vote against him on this account.
Gov. Bradley was in the hotel Hobbies
yesterday evening working, and when
he left said there was no earthly doubt
Of an election to-day.
