BECOMING CRITICAL.
Says Secretary Francis % Conditions In

IsIation- Greeks Caused the HIteh.

Washington. Feb. 10. The
Choctaws ard Chickasaws are
still dickering over their agreement
with the Dawes Commission. hut
an understanding is regarded as
inevitable. Ii is claimed that the
Creeks are responsible for the
hitch which has occurred in the
negotiations aud General Porter,
chair man Of the Greek commission.
Is charged with the responsibility
for introducing u series of novel
propositions in connection with
the general deal to settle the In
dian question in the territory. the
immediate effect of which has been
to stir up opposition to the pro-
posed treaties among the Chicka-
saws. the Cherokees and other ma
tlons to hold out for a demand that
every Indian be paid $500 as a per-
quiSite to an agreement TO take
their allOtmentS and for the indi-
vidual mine owners and beneficiar-
les from mineral leases TO surren-
der their rights for the benefit If
the tribal funds. This would mean
payment of about SO. 900, 900
and the proposition has been sat
down upon by the Dawes commits
sion. But therein is understood
20 lie the secret of the hitch which
has occurred in the pending ne
gotiations and also the incentive
for the favorable action of the SEN
ate subcommittee ON the modified
Platt bill which proposes TO deal
with the whole question in toto.
Meanwhile the Creek delegates,
Grayton and McIntOch, are here
for the purpose of trying TO secure
800 of the Greek fund for the
benefit of the tribe. The Dawes
commission is of the opinion that
this money is to be used to fight
off treaty negotiations and is ad-
vising against the allowance of the
money until the Greeks come 10 a
/ different state of mind.
The Platt bill has been highly
indorsed in n letter which Seere-
tary Francis addressed to Senator
Pettigrew. He takes the ground
that the ownership Of the lands is
vested in the Indian tribes. a con-
dition recognized. he says, by the
government through acts of con-
gress, decisions of the courts, and
by many acts of the executive.
lie fully coneurs in the theory that
as the title TO the land is in the
Indian tribes, il i the duty of the
United States government to see
that the rights of the individual
Indians are protected. Some leg
islation along this line should be
enacted during the present session
of congress. He approves the
ommission Of all reference in the
bill to the many questions and
controversies concerning leases
hitherto made, other than that the
collection of individual royalties il
prohibited. Those differences can
be adjusted hereafter. He sug-
gests the extension of a farm lease
and that the distance between
townsites be increased to five or ten
miles, and urges upon congress
the Importance of enaeting some
Legislation which will at least be
the beginning of remedying the
situation now existing in the In
dian Territory. THE conditions
there are becoming critical" he
says, and if left alone, will ere
long drift into a state Of violence

the government may be required

ject was ended for the time being by the
arrest of the players OF the Cleveland and
Washington teams after one inning had

warned previous to the game that the ar

ming The game was to start at 8 O'Clock,
but at 2:30 the gates were closed, as the
warning was received then, and it was
useless to admit more people; but after
the gates were closed there were many
more people outside trying To get in than
there were in the grounds, which con-
tanned fully 10000. Cash checks Were
issued with each ticket. The game was
stopped according to program, and that
means victory against Sunday ball. But

lice officers seemed to spring up at inter
walls of every few feet along the margin of
the crowd Nothing happened, however.
until after the first inning had been played
Cleveland went TO bat first, and after
both sides had been retired without any
excitement, Capt. English, accompanied by
President Frank Deb. Robson, walked up
to Umpire Hurst, and the former told him

police officers could not have done more TO
preserve order.
President Robson turned to the stand
and said: THE authorities have stopped
the game and 1t cannot continue. We 10
not want the slightest disorder or trouble
of any kind on the grounds. I am sorry
the game has been stopped, but we will
fight the case In the courts and hope to
