PETITION FOR SCHOOLS.
Asking President Mckinley to Place
Matter Before Secretary interior.

During the recent session of the
Chickasaw Teachers Association
held at this place, resolutions ask
ing for government aid were pre-
pared and read by Professor Evan
d. Cameron, of Pauls Valley, OF
which the following is a copy:
RESOLUTIONS.
To the Hon. VIM. Mckinley
President of the United State,
Washington, D. c..
At a regular meeting of the
Chickasaw Teachers Association
composed of the school teachers of
the Chickasaw Nation. in session
at Ardmore, Indian Territory,
May the 9th 1899. The following
action was taken.
Resolved-That as school teach
ers in this Territory we are very
anxious for a more widely extended
system. one that will reach all
the children of the Territory-that
We ale glad TO see the fostering
care of the United States govern
ment thrown around the Indian
schools of the Five Nations, but
that we deeply deplOre the fact
that no law has been passed by
congress providing for the educa-
ton of the white and colored chill
dren of the territory outside of the
incorporated towns.
Resolved-That we respectfully
call the attention Of the President
of the United States to the fact
that under our present laws we
cannot have public schools for
white and colored children outside
of the incorporated towns that
there are thousands of white and
colored children in the rural sec
tions of our Territory growing up
in absolute ignorance, without any
educational advantages. The con-
dition is sad one and is entitled
to the attention of congress
we think it would pay to put less
money in jaiIs and court houses
and more in school houses and
education.
Observation-Disclosures, that We
earnestly petition the President of
the United States to put this matter
before the Interior Department of
the government and that he re-
quests the honorable Secretary of
the Interior to incorporate in his
next report a recommendation to
congress that a suitable law be en-
acted and that an appropriation be
made to aid in the education of
the white and colOred youth of our
Territory until we are placed un
der some form of government that
we can look after these matters
ourselves Hon. J. d. Bene-
dict be made the superintendent of
public instruction for the entire
Territory-that white and Indian
children be educated in the same
schools, and that equal facilities
be provided for the colored chill
dren. Respectfully submitted.

Greer County Lands Decision.

A decision relative to public
lands in Greer county. just rem
dered by the Secretary of the Inte-
rior, causes great rejoicing among
the old settlers in that county.
The act of congress declaring the
lands of Greer county open to
homestead settlement gave every
one of the old settlers who went
there while the country was con
sidered part of Texas a prefer
ence right to take as a homestead
16O acres of land and also to pur-
chase at ST % an acre 160 acres
more of land, which they had occu-
pied and improved. Later comers
contested the right of many of the
settlers to purchase choice lands,
on the ground that they did not
live on the land and had not lived
upon it prior to the passage of the
act, but the secretary decides that
to occupy does not necessarily
mean to reside upon; that a man
who improved and used land occu-
pied it, regardless of where his
residence was. The decision effects
1000 old settlers.

they fired a volley. The AmeIi-
cans dropped in the high grass out
of sight and returned the fire.
Lieutenant Love, who was walk
ing erect along the front of his
men, was shot in the arm. An
insurgent officer. equally brave,
stood at the top of the trenches di-
recting the fire of the insurgents
until he was killed, when the Fill
pinos fled.

insurgents attempted to enter on
the south side, but a troop of cal
airy repulsed them
The total American loss at Ca

FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS.
First Texas Bale Sells In New York for
Two Thousand Dollars.

New York, August 1.-The tirst
bale of the 1899 crop of cotton was
today sold at auction on the steps
of the cotton exchange, Beaver and
Williams streets, for $1,000.
This is the largest sum ever re-
ceived for bale in this city, and
probably in the world. The pro-
ceeds of the sale 60 to the sufferers
by the recent floods in Texas.
The purchaser was the New York
cotton exchange itself, through its
superintendent, William V. King.
Instead of taking the bale, the
cotton exchange will send it at
once to the Boston cotton exchange
where it will be sold over again
for the same purpose. Whether it
will then go to other eastern cities
depends upon the Boston pur-
chaser.
The bale was sent to the cotton
exchange from New Orleans, and
the money obtained from its sale
is to be sent to Governor Savers
of Texas.

the killed.
Remley was one of the best
known Americans in Sonora. He
bad lived there II years, and was
formerly agent for the Wells Fargo
Express company at Hermosillo.
The inhabitants of the towns in
and near Yaqui Valley are in a
terror, and many are deserting
homes and mining camps and fee
ing to the guarded settlements for
safety.
