ARKANSAS IN THE U. s. SENATE
In Sixty Years We Have Had Fourteen
 Senators.

In Sixty Years We Have Had Fourteen
 Senators.
 The Washington correspondent oi the Courier-Journal gives the follow ing interesting item with reference to Arkansas representation in the Senate during the pastsixty years:
 Arkansas, or Arkansaw, as the State is now designated by the statute, was admitted to the union in 1896, sixty years ago, and during that period fourteen different indi- viduals have represented the State on the floor of the United States Senates-W William s. Fulton, Ambrose s. Sevier, Chester Ashley, Solon Bor- land, William K. Sebastian, Robert ". Johnson, Alexander Mcdonald, Benjamin r. Rice, Powell Clayton. A. H. Garland, James D. Walker, James K. Jones and James H. Berry.
 Fulton, one Of the first two Sena- tors. had been military secretary to 0Cii- AA0AON GiNh6Olt CAlftA db lJuDil III the office of Felix Grundy Ashley, the third Senator, was a New Eng land Yankee, born and reared in Massachusetts, and he was chosen to the Senate from Arkansas as a Democrat over the famous Mai. Archibald Yell, the cavalier, hero of Mexico. Sebastian was in the Senate from 1S4S to 1861. when he was expelled for disloyalty. After ward 1t was claimed for him that he was a strong union man and greatly opposed to secession, though he was not SD violent in antagonizing that dogma as Andy Johnson or Frank Blair. He was more like Charles A. Wickliffe in his opposition. I do not find that the Senate ever rescinded or expunged the resolution of eXpul- sion. It is as much too late now as 1t would be for the English parlia- ment to repeal an attainder found when white and red roses were haY- ing it out In the days of the Plantag- enets. Johnson was a Kentuckian and had won very considerable con gressional experience before he be- came Senator, It is on old anecdote that President Pro-tempOre A tcheson used to recognize Johnson as "the Senator from Arkansaw' and Sebas- tian as "the Senator from Arkansas because of the different pronuncia- tton the Senators gave their State. They were the last of the old regime. They were in tho Senate when Hind- man was the Hotspur of the House. Johnson was afterward In the Con federate Senate and Hindman a gen eral in the Confederate armies. Verify the world has changed in the last thirty-five years.

Dan A. Stuart declines to affirm or deny the truth of the Associated Press Dispatch printed Thursday, that the ett-Fitzsimmons fight will take place in Carson City, Nev. He simply says: 'I couldn't tell the public positively at this time which of the half dozen or more places that have recently been guessed by news paper reporters is the right one. My financial interests would naturally suggest that l take the public into my confidence as early as possible, for the earlier the public knows the location for certainty the better 1t will be for me financially. 1 shall tell the public the location at least one full month prior to the date set for the fight and as much earlier as my interest will justify. In the mean time, let the newspaper boys keep guessing"

TERRITORY FREEDMEN.
They VIII Receive the Money Due
 Them As Citizens

Iuem AS Cltn6ns
 The negroes of the Cherokee nation, who come within the class designated as "Freedmen,' are soon to be paid the money due them IS citizens of the Cherokee nation. on account of the sale of the Cherokee Strip. The amount is S920000. which is to be divided among 200 Freedmen '-$2lS per head.
 Nine-tenths of the money will go
 to Fort Smith. and the indications
 are that as soon as the Dawes cum- mission has made its report and it's
 report and it's rolls adopted. Inc disbursement will be made. II is
 believed that the payment will be- gin within ten days.
 The history of the sale of the strip is well known. Under q certain treaty, probably that of ls6, the negroes of the Indian Territory Mho had been held as slaves by he Indians, were adopted as Iilsinn citizens aud given the rights of citizens. When the strip was sold. it was claimed by the Indi;ns that the negroes had no share in the pro- ceeds of the sale. This was con- tested by the Freedmen" and pending the controversy, an amount supposed to be enough to cover the part that would be due the Feed men" if they maintained their claim, was withheld by the government. 1t has been decided that the Freed men, are entitled to it, and how the payment is to be made them. As the Dawes commission has been recently making what will be an authenticated and accepted roll of Cherokee citizens, designating ' also the Cherokee Freedmen, z the department decided to wait for that \ roll and use it in making the pay ment.
