special to the News quotes Senator
Warren of Wyoming as saying to-day
that the question of the policy of the
administration upon the financial issue
was one to which Western senators had
given much thought.
With the recommendations of the
president regarding national banks" he
said, most of us will agree; we cannot
however follow him to the extent Of
doing anything to still further fasten
the single gold standard upon this
country. The declared purpose of SEQ
retary Gage complicates the situation
and will, without doubt. array against
his proposed measure number OF
Western republicans and will make Il
an easy task for the democrats to pre-
vent any legislation from being en-
acted.
''Out West we voted for Mckinley be-
cause we were assured that his election
did not mean further steps toward a
single gold standard. We stood by the
party under the promise thai there
would be efforts made for international
bimetallism and a larger recognition Of
silver. We are entitled to have thJHr
promises kept. If they are not kept it
will be impossible for us to hold the re-
publicanS in line"

a CHICKAsAw MEMORIAL
Protest fIed In which Their ObIec-
lions TO the Choetaw Treaty
arc Set Forth.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Half
of the Chickasaw delegation has
gone home and the pending ne
gotiations with the Choctaws
have been suspended. They
fled a memorial in the senate
today through Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, in which they set
forth their objections TO the
Choctaw agreement. Their
greatest objection to the treaty,
they state, is the mode of con
veyance to the United States of
the lands of the nation. They
fear that should the Ch.ckasaw
and Choctaw nations voluntar-
lily convey the fee title to their
lands to the United States il
would be claimed by the rail-
road companies in the nation
that the title in the alternate
sections heretofore granted
would inure to themselves, the
result of which would be to
cause long litigation between
the railroads claiming the per-
mits and such allottees as had
selected allotments upon the
alternate sections embraced in
the grants and, perhaps, in the
end, cause the allottees TO lose
their homes. They admit that
these dangers may be imagin-
AIRY, but that they prefer that
the title should remain in the
Indian people of the two nations
until the allotments are com
pleted. They say that they are
ready to join with the Choc-
taws III an agreement by which
the lands of the nations may be
allotted and such other changes
made in the system of govern
ment as the situation requires.
They are ready to agree to the
allotment of all the public do
main belonging to the Choctaw
and Chickasaw people equally
between their own citizens,
freedmen excepted, and except
ing such as may be found neces-
sary for specific uses, provided
the fee title remain in the re-
spective tribes until the allOt-
ments are completed and pro-
vided that the United States
guarantees to the Chickasaw
nation Its claims against the
United States for arrears of in
tereSt on its trust funds. They
offer to lease the town lots in
the different towns for an an
nual ground rental, but think
they ought to be allowed to
designate the towns to be so
leased. They are willing to
agree that the revenues from all
minerals should be held in trust
by the United States for the
benefit of the Choctaws and
Chickasaw citizens. They. are
willing that the United States
should collect all royalties grow
ing out of mineral lands, town
lots and timber lands and hold
the same in trust. The memoir
ial Is signed by all the commits
sioners Of the Chickasaw ma
ton.
