Freedmen Will Vote.

Agent Wisdom has received
from the interior department at
Washington a copy of an opln-
ion rendered by the assistant
attorney general, which Opin-
ion has received the al proval
of the secretary Of the interior,
in which it is held that the
freedmen of the CEoctaw ma
ton, who are members of that
nation, are entitled to vote at
the coming election on the rati-
ication of the Choctaw and
Chickasaw agreement with the
Dawes commission, and that
the freedmen of the Chickasaw
nation whose rights of citizen
ship are in contest do not have
a right to vote at that election.
Green McCurtain, principal
chief of the Choctaw nation,
has issued proclamation, in
structing the judges of election
to prohibit Choctaw freedmen
from casting their votes in ref
erence to the rejection or ratifi,
cation of the agreement. This
opinion from the department
will overrule the proclamation
of the chief and the negroes
will be permitted to vote in the
Choctaw nation, but not in the
Chickasaw nation.

Melon Growers Annual Meeting
Continued from First PagsJ

Poultry a. Game Co. were honest
and upright men. Perhaps they
have made mistakes hut they are
not scoundrels. The company had
hoped they would be able to pay
tho S18, 600 to the association long
before this, but the early frost had
prevented it. The company
thought surely they would get at
least 5000 from the rebate on
freight charges, but in vain. The
members of the company are now
endeavoring to raise money on en-
dorsed notes 30 rs to Mt least pay
some of the money due. The
speaker knew what it was to 60 in
to the winter without n cent. The
company would do all in their
power to raise the money soon.
All old bills the company would
have to raise themselves but they
had ample resources promised for
another year il they would handle
the melons again. Lyons of New
York and another firm rs strong
would back them. All cars would
be paid for as soon as sealed. 1T
the association saw fit to let the
contract elsewhere or if the nsso-
citation handled the goods them
selves his c.mpany would do all
they could to assist. They were
there to serve. This proposition
was made on the supposition that
the members stick together. An
other course would be suicidal.
The association then adjourned
to Saturday Nov. 26th, when it is
expected final settlement will he
made and officers elected.
Among the principal points in
Sec. Matthews report was that re-
lating to the payment for crates.
This was Ill strict accordance with
the contract with III. +. Hagen and
could not be avoided. The pres
ident and secretary in examining
the books found that, owing to er-
rors in distribution, over 81, COO
had been overpaid to members be-
tween Aug. II and Sept. 3. These
great errors made it necessary
that the entire bookkeeping be re-
vised from the beginning.

Altoona, Pa, June 30.-The Demo.

mated the following ticket: Governor.
George A. jerks, Of Jefferson county:
lieutenant governor, William H. Sow
den, of Lehigh. The convention was
dominated by the friends of William J.
Bryan, led by Colonel James NJ. Cuff
fey, of Pittsburg. Notwithstanding this
fact an effort to insert plank reaffirm-
ing the Chicago platform was defeated
the controlling influence in the conven-
tion preferring that the platform should
relate entirely to state issues
When the vote on the adoption of the
silver plank was taken the Gordon
leaders passed the word around to sup
port the motion. Nearly all of that ele-
ment voted aye and the Guffey;tes.
who are also regarded the Bryanites of
the party, were put in the strange posi-
ton Of voting against their ideal. They
stuck boldly to their position, however.
and prevented the reaffirmation of the
principles of the Chicago convention.
This they Were bound to do to carry out
their determination to fight the cam
palgn solely on state issues

Gives Both Nations Credit for Motives Of
the Highest Character.
London. June 3.-Lord Salisbury. the
premier. addressing the United club in
this city last evening, said: There is
black cloud on the horizon-one that
does not affect us personally, but which
evokes the deepest sorrow and our larv-
est desire for its removal. 1t is the
war Of two great states, between whom
we are neutral-one bound to US by ey-
cry tie of kindred and similarity Of in
stitutions and religion; the other the
state that fought on our side when we
struggled with the threatening tyranny
of the first Napoleon. Watching this
terrible war we are bound to abstain
from expressing any preference or any
judgment on either side. We know that
in both cases the motives are of the
highest character. We know that the
United States are animated by elevated
philanthropy and that Spain is inspired
by that love Of independence which is
the greatest pride of all ancient ma
tions.'
Il can only say / earnestly wish the
Gay may speedily arrive when this ter
rible slaughter between two nations
will cease and the world de restored to
peace. With this exception the world
looks smiling enough TO US politically.
The convention with France has re-
moved the subject of conflict between
us and our greatest and most culti-
waited neiehbor. The Soudan expedi-
tion, If successfully accomplished, will be
the greatest work for civilization that
England has performed for two or three
generations
The governments Chinese policy Is
to prevent the Chinese empire from fall
ing into ruins, to invite it into paths of
reform, to give it every assistance i'm
our power, to perfect its defenses and TO
increase its commercial prosperity. Thus
we should aid China and ourselves. 1t
Is impossible that we should have the
same influence over China as over In
cia and Egypt, but / believe that so
FAR as railways are concerned our ad-
vantages will be fully equal to those of
other nations"

London, June 30.-The Daily Chronicle
publishes this morning a letter from
Carthagela, dated June %. ard describ-
ing the Notifications there. The writer
says: There IS a great fort at the
summit of each of the five hills COM
manding the entrance to the harbor,
three being quite modern. Besides these
there are batteries at every point of
vantage, many constructed within the
last two months. Numerous guns have
recently been mounted, and fort build
ing continues with energy. Altogether
an attack from the sea is not thing
to be lightly risked, and that is why the
rumor has gone about that the young
king will come here for his summer
holidays. / have just seen the cruiser
Lepanto in the harbor. / counted ten
guns aboard her. four of them very
large. Like the Alfonso XIII she is un-
seaworthy. Her formast is being taken
down to relieve her OF fifteen tons. and
her guns will be lightened. Behind her
saw a big hulk, presumably the
Cata|ouna, on the stocks. She could
hardly be finished is three years."

Proceeding to review the vessels at
the various ports destined to compose
the third squadron, TIE Daily Chronicle S
correspondent says: "A month seems
a short time to prepare them, but
must admit l did not think Admiral
Camara's squadron would sail so soon
Therefore IL is possible that even this
queer collecting OF Obsolete or unfinished
vessels may before long be pushed into
the water to keep the ministry afloat."
The Madrid correspondent of The
Times says: Ministers deny the ru-
rnors that Spain is purchasing cruisers
from China or other nations. Accord
ing to Ell Impartial the demand for a
cash payment OF the canal dues delayed

Peace Prospects Less Bright.
IF the United States imagines that
the threat to lombard Spanish ports
would induce the Spa1iards to recall
Camara and to sue for peace the Amer
leans are bound to be disappointed. The
threat has only tended to excite the
bulldog qualities CT the Spanish nation
al character. When these are aroused
prudence and logic are alike powerless.
The peace prospects, therefore. are
much less bright than they were a week
ago"

lie is very bitter against Eng
land because of her supposed un-
friendliness regarding Admiral Camara's
squadron. The subject is warmly dis
cussed in all public places, though Of
