THE CHEROKEE COUNCIL.
Prospect for Treaty Commits
sion Very Slight.

TAHLEoUAH. Nov. Il.
The Cherokee council is still
struggling with the treaty question.
All of today was taken up in dis
cussing the various features of the
proposed bill. Many of the full
bloods sought information as re-
garded the possible good that might
result, and the treaty men were
very diligent in their efforts to ex-
plain and convert them.
There has been some work done
on the matter of providing for
ways and means to hold the elec-
tions next August, and this too is
meeting with considerable opposi-
tion-those opposed to it, holding
that any amendments to the old
election laws, making them con-
form with the provisions of the
Curtis bill, will be equivalent to
an admission that all the Cherokee
laws are repealed by the Curtis
bill.
The public debt is also coming
in for its share of attention, and
the chiefs recommendation that an
appropriation be made from the
invested funds to pay same is
meeting with much favor. This
debt is something like $500, 900,
and the councillors are very anx-
ious that something be done with
regard to getting rid of it.
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1898-11-17

The decision of the Cherokee
council in refusing to treat with
the Dawes commission leaves that
nation under the control of the
Curtis bill, or what has been left
of it by Judge Springer and Judge
Thomas. If the Cherokees win out
on treaty that gives them rights
''as long as grass grows and water
runs" they will gain the greatest
victory known TO modern states
manship; but if they do not, the
result will be better for the Cbero-
kees.-Scuth MeAlester Capital.
The Curtis bill ought never to
have been passed while VInita's
park case was pending in the
courts. 1t will depend largely
upon how that famous case is de-
cided as to whether the Curtis bill
is Ego" or not. Congress is under.
taking too many things at once.
