ACTION OF THE CREEK LEGISLATURE DEPLoRED
BY INTERIOR DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS.
Washington. Oct T.-The rejection by the Creek
Legislature yesterday OF the Dawes Commission
agreement for the rehabilitation Of the tribe Is
viewed With much concern by the Interior Depart
ment authorities. They consider IT Of great Sig
nihcance ms affecting the other tribes with whom
the Commission has to deal end concede that It is
not unlikely TO result In failure TO reach under
standing with any OF them. So far none Of the
agreements made by the Commission with repre-
seutatves OF tho tribes have been ratified, and the
negotiations now with the Cherokees are not
proceeding satisfactorily.
Advices reached here several days ago that ennis
saries OF the fublood element OF the Cherokee
Nation had gone to tho Creek tribe. Now ii il
said that there is n probability that whatever
action Is taken for the purpose Of making the
members OF the tribes Atizens will have to be
taken by Congress. and an interesting debate in
volvng the power Of Congress to enact legislation
on this question, Is expected early In the coming
session.
