and is also specially interested in
getting some legislation in regard
to recording mortgages and other
instruments in the southern dist
rict. Under the present system al
recording for that district must be
done at Ardmore. Judge Beavers
suggests an amendment TO the bill
establishing a court at Tishomingo.
providing for the filing and record
ing of all mortgages and other in
struments susceptible of record, at
all the places of holding court in
the southern district.
Judge Beavers will present and
press the matter before the judic-
iary committee and urge that they
grant the relief as suggested. That
the Cherokees have begun a sys-
tematic effort to fOrestall immin
ent legislation is certain. What
the result will be, if any, is prob
lematical. The lines along which
they will work was indicated in my
two former communications. They
have employed eminent counsel
both in Washington and the Indian
Territory, and their course seems
to be a determined and well out
lined one. Judge Stuart has re-
turned home to prepare such IA
case for the supreme court of the
United States, as will test the
question of abolishing the Indian
courts. Ex-senator Call, of Flor
ida has been retained by the Cher
Okee nation to bring such ques-
tions before the supreme court as
will either defeat or delay the Cur
tbs bill. The senate yesterday
made a statement tc me, which in
dicates the plan to be pursued here.
He said: The Curtis bill is in
violation of all the treaty rights of
the nation and / believe the su-
preme court will so hold. We ex-
pect to have the supreme court pass
upon the treaty rights of the ma
ton, and will ask congress to pass
a special act granting the jurisdic-
ton. The bill is now being pre-
pared and will be introduced in a
very short while. Our general
plan is to delay the Curtis bill un-
til the supreme court can pass
upon the questions involved in its
passage"
The house this week passed bills
extending the charter of Denison
and Northern Railway Company
for one year, and granting right
of way through the Territory to
the Nebraska, Kansas and Gulf
railway. Bills were introduced by
Mr.. Curtis to amend the charter of
the St. Louis, Oklahoma and
Southern Railway Company; and
by Senator Pettigrew, extending
the charter of the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific Railway Com
pany for a period of three years.

The Dawes commission will re-
main in Washington for some time
yet. Captain McKennon prepared
to return to the Territory last
week, TO resume the work of the
commission, but upon conference
with the president and the secreta-
ry of the interior, he and the other
members of the commission were
requested to remain until certain
features of pending legislation are
disposed of.
