Cox's Indian Deal.

TAHLEQUAH. i. T,,s Nov ~.
The proposition Of Wiley O..
Cox of Kansas City to collect
money from the government is in
the hands OF Chef Mayes. The Of
fer Of the M. X. q T. Trust Co. is
yet in the hands of the company's
agent.
1t is claimed that the M. X. 4
7. offered its services TO Cox, if in
return he would assist the COM
pany in the Mexican land project.
Upon refusing. the NJ. K.& t.,
it is alleged, sent Agent Bradbury
at Cox's heels TO Tahlequah.
Dave Muskrat and John Grass
are in the Mexican emigration
scheme. These Indians are going
to Washington. Recently Brad
bury made efforts to influence the
Indians by telling them he was an
important factor in McKinley's
election.
Cox got an audience with some
Indians and many others, and
presented his proposition. The
Indians received the same cor
daily. Those interested have ask
ed the chief to submit Cox's papers
by special message, and promise
the approval of the act.
The NJ. X. e. I. will get "pull"
from other channels.
Cox had a satisfactory hearing
before the council and left for
home Sunday

FOOTBALL AT MUSCOGEE.
Kendall College 5, Male
Seminary 5.

This was the result Of the foot.
ball game at Muskogee yesterday .
Male Seminary kicked off and
the struggle began. Kendall by
heavy line plays and Male Semi
nary by their good end playing
kept the ball see-sawing up and
down the field. Joe Ross for the
seminary and Parker and Meagher
for Kendall made good plays. The
seminary team was lighter, but
were active and held their oppo-
nents well.
Time was called at end of first
half; score 90.
Second half. Kendall kicked
off and the ball returned TO center
of field by good run; Male Semi
nary was held for dons and lost
the ball. Kendall forced the ball
to Male Seminary forty yard line.
After a series of plays Male
Seminary, by skillful pass, sent
the ball bown the field for a touch
down. Male Seminaries failed on
goal; score 5 to 0, in favor Male
Seminary.
Kendall again kicked off and by
heavy line plays carried the ball
down the field and two and a half
minutes before time was called
made touchdown. Parker failed
on goal. Score 5, 5.
1t was good. steady game.
Both sides played good ball and
good feeling prevailed. 1t was de-
void of unfair plays and was an
excellent exhibition of football.
Kendall will probably meet
Worcester academy team soon.

should be treated in a high and
Christian spirit. Too frequently
only the propriety or the danger
of certain forms of pleasure is dis
cussed, and it is chiefly confined
to theatre going, card playing and
dancing. OF course we mean as
related to a Christian. To reject
is easier than to distinguish. 1t is
much easier to lay down rules than
to set forth principles. Then, is
it wise to lay down rules? The
gospel is not system OF rules, it
is high inspiration, a principle
of life. That the Christian may
develop character and an honor
able Christian spirit he should
frame his life principles.
1t is a most distressing sight to
see Christian debating whether
he may engage in this amusement
or that recreation His religion
must be merely set OF rules and
restrictions, whereas it should
be one of truth and power. The
real education which develops
comes. not thro' keeping rules. ]
think that the Christian will ad-
NIT that all forms OF amusement
are TO be avoided which tend to
weaken or endanger ones physi-
cal health, such as loss of sleep,
or any undue exhaustion of one's
physical energy and thereby un-
fits one for the real work of lite.
Let our recreations be such as will
send US back to our work with
glowing cheeks and quickened
pulse. Those forms of amusement
whose associations are question
able are TO be avoided. Under
this head we may class question
able places, methods, ends and
questionable persons. No one
who has fine regard for his per-
sonal integrity can consent to be
party to questionable ways or
deeds. If the Christian by his
presence at such places recognizes
and encourages these questionable
practices had he not better stay
away? The master says that it is
better to part with right eye, OF
right hand than to cause a brother
to offend. Those forms of amuse-
ment are to be avoided which tend
to become stumbling blocks in the
way of others. One may possibly
engage in proper amusements
without harm to himself. But
the apostle has laid down the
principle which should guide the
Christian, always and everywhere,

SENATE ADJOURNED TO MONDAY.
Consideration of the Hawaiian ResO.
luton Postponed.

In the executive session of the Senate
yesterday afternoon agreement was
reached to adjourn over until Monday, thus
postponing the taking up of the annexation
question until that time. The action was
taken on motion of Senator Jones Of Ar
kansas, who stated that the opponents of
the annexation resolution desired the extra
time in which to prepare themselves for
the Hawaiian debate. He stated that they
had supposed that the debate would be in
iti2ted by the advocates of the resolution,
but that having heard that they intended
to make no speeches he thought the op-
posing party should not be expected to be-
gin SO abruptly.
The discussion will be opened Monday by
Senator White, who will be followed by
Senator Pettgrew. There is some talk of a
compromise by which the matter shall be
postponed until next session. and a day
fixed then for a vote. The date mentioned
is January 20. The proposition has met
with considerable favor among conservative
senators, but the leaders on both sides saw
they will decline for the present to entertain
it.
The committee on foreign relations will
call for the yeas and nays on the question
of consideration Monday. This will give
them test vote, which will, they think be
very useful as an indication of the strength
OF the measure, and might be a guide to
the President in case the Senate should be
compelled to adjourn finally without ac-
ton.

HE SAW SOME AWFUL SIGHTS,
;. j. Marshall Writes Home of Hi
EXDerienceA Mt Mnnila

The following letter, dated Cavite has
been received by Chas. ]. Marshall Of
Cleveland, Ohio, from his son, on board the
cruiser Baltimore:
THE natives have done some awful
slaughtering. They have been uprising for
the past five years, and the minute they
heard us start the ball they surrounded the
city, burned everything. captured the wo-
men and killed the children and the men,
and any Spaniard that escaped from US met
worse fate from them. The natives flock
to us in hundreds and bring every Spaniard
they capture to us and want to burn him
alive for amusement
1.-THE Spaniards were confident that they
were going to win, and they gave ball on
the strength of it and issued invitations for
another on May 4, but that one we attend
ed. The general ate supper at the ball,
made a speech in which he referred to us
as nation without history, and said
that they would yoke us like cattle and
never spare the lash. He little thought
that while he was saying that We were
passing the forts and strongholds.
THE sights to be seen ashore were sick
ening. They would not even bury their
dead, and We had to guard their wounded
from the natives. At the generals house
his wife was lying by the side of her little
baby. The baby was torn to pieces by a
shell, but the mother was not harmed"

THE CENSUS BILL.
Objections to Senate Measure by Ma
tionaI Civil Service Reform League.


tionaI Civil Service Reform League.
The National Civil Service Reform League
has sent the following letter to each men,
Der of the House of Representatives.:
The bill for the taking of the twelfth and
every subsequent census Is. 45i5), as passed
by the Senate on the Sth instant, provides
either in terms or effect:
ID That appointments of subordinates in
the census bureau shall not be made sub
ject TO the civil service laws, governing
similar appointments in other departments;
% That not more than two-thirds of the
supervisors and enumerators to be selected
shall be members of the same political
party, and
90 That all persons employed in the CEN
sus office proper shall be selected solely
with reference to fitness and without refer
ence to their political party affiliations.
Notwithstanding the existence of the
last named provision the plan already pro-
vided by law for the selection of clerical
employees solely with reference to fitness
is set aside.
The force is to be organized, in short in
the manner in which the force employed in
taking the census of 1880 was Organized,
and under practically identical provisions
The way is left open for what would seem
to be an inevitable return to the conditions
that rendered the census of 1890 an eX-
travagant and imperfect piece of work.
The present director of the census has
testified that with the clerical force en-
ployed through the agency of the civil SER
vice rules, the last census would have cost
the people 81 900 900 less than 1t did. Un-
der the plan now proposed, with political
discrimination in the selection of super
visors and enumerators actually required
by law. and with the existing machinery
for the selection Of clerks for fitness and
without regard to politics. deliberately re-
jected it would seem matter of absolute
certainty that this waste will be repeated.
1t is just as certain that with subordinates
selected in the manner determined there
can be no public confidence in the value or
reliability of the work they are to perform
The National Civil Service Reform League
earnestly urges that the plan of organiza-
ton proposed be disapproved by the House
of Representatives. The league urges fur
Their that the pending bill be amended to
provide:
% That appointments of all clerks and
supervisors be made under the provisions
of the existing civil service rules as the
result of competitive examinations, open on
equal terms to all citizens. and
90 That in the selection of enumerators
where examination may not be practicable
it shall be provided at least that there shall
be no discrimination based on the political
opinions or claims of the applicants.
We are confident that such q movement
in the House to divorce the taking of the
census from politics and to establish a
skilled and competent force whose ONLY
claim for consideration shall be fitness for
the peculiarly important duty to be per
formed, will meet with cordial public APP
proVal.

River Falls friends would like to
know of our whereabouts and as
we have arrived at Chickamauga
Park, | will write. We enlisted
in Hudson Friday, June II. took
cur oath of war and received $1.71

last till landed. A testivel was
given in honor of recruits at Z P.
M. at Chaplin Hall House where
we were served to anything and
everything we wanted, music was
furnished by the Hudson Glee
Club. ATOP. M. we boarded the
Limited for Chicago. The first
stop we made was at Elroy, Wis,
where we stopped at 4::15 Saturday
morning for coffee. we were ac-
commodated for 90 cts. cup. The
next stopping place was Chicago,
landed at 80, we were trans
ferred to another depot in hacks.
There we boarded the Chicago
and Eastern TIL. r. r. a through
train for Evansville, Tenn, there
we stopped at $3.50 Sunday morn :
ing and witnessed some regulars
going to Cuba. From there we
went straight to Cnickamauga
Park the only thing we heard
when landing was you will be
sorry for coming here" Here
there are $4,000 soldiers on 1000
acres of land.
We met Frank Chapman and
some other River Falls boys, they
are sick of this place, every body
is anxious to go to Tampa. There
are slloons, restaurants, picture
