TROUBLE WITH INDIANS.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-"Trouble in In

spondent of the Herald. ION January
/ LIST the tribal courts will be abolished
/ by an act passed at the last session of
Congress, and the United States courts
given full jurisdiction over the Ter
ritory.
In many quarters the officers of the
| Indian courts have declared that they
| will forcibly resist all efforts to pre-

United States marshals have given no
tice that If any tribal courts are held
! those assuming to conduct them Will
! be arrested.
"a delegation of eight Cherokees,
seven of them fullbloods, is now in

scented memorial to Congress asking
I that the law be rescinded. but Con-
! gress has now adjourned without ac-

courts will be out of existence.
meanwhile the subcommittee of the
Senate committee on Indian affairs APP

recommend amendments to the pres

ment of all lands held by the five civil
lied tribes among the members of

with all the Indians. Such agreements

gress until the desired and necessary
uniformity can be reached
Secretary Bliss thinks no govern

gress shall provide for the establish
ment of n single uniform system for
the entire Indian Territory that shall
place all its inhabitants In possession
OF the rights of American citizens"

Though there was great excitement
among the guests OF the hotel, many
of whom sought shelter In nearby
buildings, 1t Is quite certain that the
fire has been attended by no loss of
life or serious accidents.
The Woodward stock company, who
have been playing at the theater,saved
all their effects. Paxton & Burgess are
the lessees of the thenter.

only recommend me.
The young man got no further in his
speech. Mr.. Ellis, who is very tall,
looked down upon his visitor with a
paralyzed stare, and then, turning on
his heel, walked back into the house

Women and Gotham Restaurants.
Nest of the respectable restaurants in
New York refuse to serve meals to
women who enter them unaccompanied
by male escorts late in the evening,
and the proprietors say that they must
enforce this rule in self defense, even
though great injustice is done occasion
ally. One Of the women lawyers in this
city had "A Notifying experience one

Both women were indignant, and
they appealed to the proprietor, but he
refused 70 discriminate in their case.
He said that the rule applying to unes-
