For Chief of Cherokees.

Tahlequah, l. T., May 25.-The
old political regime which has ruled
and almost ruined the nation was
routed today in great shape by the
nomination of Judge 7. NJ Buf-
fington of Ninita for principal
chief by a convention of the people
from all parts of the Cherokee ma
ton. The convention has been in
session since Monday, three days,
and was the most interesting in
the history of this country. Ex-
Chief c. J.. Harris, John C. Gun
ter and T. NJ. Burlington were the
names presented BallOting took
up two days and a half, standing
at first, Burlington p, Gunter 16
and Harris 13, until the eighteenth
ballot today, when Burlington went
in with a whOop and hurrah, much
to the delight of the Cherokee peo-
pie all over the nation, regardless
of former political affiliations.
Burlington is one of the largest
men in head, heart and avoirdu-
pois in this Indian country. He
stands 6 feet 6 inches and weighs
242 pounds, and is in the prime of
manhood, 46 years old. He is a
progressive man and has a clean
record. Vinita, the home of Judge
Burlington. is in ecstacy over his
nomination, and the people are
firing cannOns and anvils. Other
towns and communities are equally
jubilant. The election is on the
first Monday in August next.

New York, May 25.-The Even

Senator Platt has decided for Me
Kinley and Hobart as the Republi-
can standard bearers for next year.
The senator says that the Republi-
can party is stronger today than it
has ever been, and that the presi-
dents irreproachable conduct of
the war and the complex questions
has won the admiration of the en-
tire world and guaranteed him a
sweeping victory.
Platt declares himself in favor Of
informal Anglo-Saxon unity, and
says that expansion is a good
thing, as it benefits American COM
merce. He says silver is the only
issue the Democrats have to stand
on now.

TRAGEDY AT OAKLAND.
A Jockey Stabbed to Death by a
Horse Rubber.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22-John
Epperson, a jockey and part owner of
the horses Texarkana and Bessie Lee,
was stabbed to death tonight by James
c. Gilligan, a horse rubber.
The tragedy occurred at the Office
saloon, opposite the Oakland racetrack
at Emeryville.
The men had been enemies for long
time, and it is said that Epperson had
frequently threatened to whip Gilligan
on sight When they met a quarrel en-
sued, which soon led to a rough-and-
tumble fight. Gilligan was getting de-
cidedly the worst of the encounter
when he drew pocket knife and
plunged it's keen blade into the Jockeys
jugular vein, causing a wound which
proved fatal in very short time.
Gilligan was aided to escape from the
scene of the fight by friends among the
racetrack touts, and came to this city.
He was closely followed by officers and
was arrested as he was leaving his
mothers house. He admits that he
killed Epperson, but claims that he act
ed in elf-defenSe.

RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Action Taken Relative to Freight
Rates on Grain.

SAN FRANCISCO, March plat
the meeting of the Railroad Commits
sioners to-day Blackstock was to have
made an argument in support of his
resolution introduced yesterday. This
provided for the repeating of the eight
per cent. grain rate resolution adopted
by the preceding board, with view
to securing the dismissal of all litiga-
ton between the Commissioners and
the Southern Pacific Company, and
thereby to relieve the board of the in
junction that now deprives it Of au-
thority to fix or regulate fares and
freights.
Prior to the meeting, however, the
Commissioners held conference in the
committee room, and agreed upon a
compromise.
When the board was called to order
all the members We're present, with
Edison presiding. Commissioner Lau-
meister offered the following proviso
as an addition to the resolution sub
mitted by Blackstock on the preceding
day:
Provided, however, that the board
shall at the regular meeting in April,
1899, to wit, the 10th day of said
month, pass and adopt a resolution fix
ing and promuIgating a schedule of
grain rates at least equal to an average
reduction of s FER cent. as Of date SEP
TENDER IA, 1895"
The proviso was adopted by unani-
nous vote, as was the resolution WITH
the proviso added.
