THE QUEENS SPEECH.
Parliament, Which Will
Omen To-day.

LONDON. Feb. 6.-The queens speech
at the opening of parliament tomorrow
will make the usual reference to the pacific
relations existing between Great Britain
and foreign countries, and will then deal
with the recent operations in the Soudan
and with the affairs in Crete, expressing
the hope that the Cretan question is in a
fair way of solution by the appointment of
Prince George, of Greece as high COM
missioner of the powers in Crete.
The speech will also refer 10 the inyi-
tation to attend the cZar'5 peace confer
ence. which has been accepted, and con-
tains a very sympathetic reference to the
assassination Of the empress of Austria. 1t
mentions the anarchist conference at
Rome, and the probable necessity for the
alteration of the laws of Great Britain with
respect to anarchists is foreshadowed.
The speech then expresses great concern
at the fact that the plague continues in
certain localities of India. and pays tribute
to the efficacy of the measures taken to
exterminate it, and to the devotion of the
officials.
Cape Colony was complmented upon its
patriotism. as demonstrated in the recen,
vote for nava! defense, and there are very
sympathetic illusions to the disaster ir
the West Indies.
Finally. the speech announces that bills
will be introduced for the municipal gov,
ernment of London and for the promotion
of secondary education etc.

OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE.
Little Was Done In Either Branch of
the Territorial Assembly
Yesterday.

GUTHRIE, o. T.. Feb. S.-(special) Tho
assembly convened this afternoon at 2
o'clock. The members have not all re-
turned from Oklahoma City and Chandler,
where they were the guests of the citizens
of those thriving cities over Sunday. One
of the features Of the return trip was
mock legislature. 1t was here that Repre-
sentative Jones was nominated for the
United States senate. While in fun his
friends attach some significance to 1t.
The house was called to order by Speaker
pro TEN Mfrten, in the absence OF Speak
er Reid. Woods, chairman of the sani-
tary committee, reported favorably on the
medical and sanitary bill, which has been
before the committee Of the whole.

for a big cut in the salaries Of the terri-
torial officers, was. on motion Of Jones,
made a special order for tomorrow. Ad-
journment was then taken.
The only business of importance in the
senate was coup which Clark tried to
play. He tried to run resolution
through the senate discharging the em-
ployes, thus bringing the governors veto
up for discussion, SO that the Democrats
would gain the glory for economy. The
Republicans were too shrewd and defeat
ed his scheme.
The following bills were introduced:
By Garrison: Relating to fire, life and
accident insurance companies.
By Havens: Concerning election laws.

was the initial break in the ranks of the

statement in explanation of his change of
position, giving the open hostilities in Ma
Mia as the reason for ii.

said, 'irreyocably opposed to the expansion
of our territory, and should have voted
against ratification but for the news that

the attack upon our troops had brought
about a new condition Of affairs. and that
he should vote for the treaty.
This announcement created q hubbub of
excitement. For, while some senators were
informed that he had decided upon a
change. there were many who were not
in possession of this information. The an
nouncement brought some of the opposi-
tion senators to his side with remon-
strances but he replied to them that he
could no longer see his way clear to cast
his vote against the treaty.
Continuing his remarks to the senate he
referred to Senator Fairbanks appeal to
support the administration as an assurance
that the critical condition existing at Ma

SHOP BURGLARIZED,
Enough PIunder Carried off
to Fit Up a Shop.

Burglars entered Fred Thomas
barber shop last night and carried
away 26 razors and quantity of
shaving soap, and other articles.
The thieves entered the chop by
taking out sash from a back
window. The town was unusu-
ally fully of "bums" yesterday
and last night, and the presump-
tion is that some OF them were the
burglars. AS yet no clue has been
found that promises to lead to the
Identification and capture of the
guilty parties. Steve Hill, as a
neighborly act, loaned his fellow
craftsman sufficient razors, etc., to
again start in business, and the
shop opened as usual this morn
ing.

UNITED STATES COURT,
The Outside Quarter Law
Upheld.

A case of much Importance to
Cherokees was disposed of by the
court yesterday-that of Harlow
against Lewis, in which the right
of a Cherokee citizen to hold a
quarter of a mile outside of i'm
provements as provided by the
Cherokee law. The court held
that the Cherokee law should gov
ern, and that the Oldest claim
could properly hold one-fourth of
a mile outside of actual legal i'm
provements. There have been
many infringements of this right
by both Cherokee citizens and in.
truders. After the enactment Of
the Curtis law the disregard oi
Cherokee law became notorious.
The disposition of this case will
doubtless open the way for many
other similar suits.

THEY DID NOT TELL.
Run Always Come Here and
Are Married.

This paper ran over part OF a
very good item a few days since.
The marriage of Mr.. Toalson and
Miss Palmer, of Columbia, Mo.
was recorded, having taken place
at the clerks Office Tuesday morn
ing. The fact that it was IA full
fiedged elopement, however, was
not stated, for the reason that
while strongly surmised the fact
was not definitely known. A dis
patch from Columbia, to one of the
city papers, gives the story of the
elopment, of date the 18th:
Andrew J. Toalson and Laurie
Palmer eloped from Boone county
yesterday for the Indian Ter
ritory. The girl, whose parents
are wealthy, is IA years of age.
The mans age is 80 years. Pater-
nal objection caused clandestine
meetings, but the pair were much
together for the last few months,
and yesterday Mr.. Toalson met
the girl on her way to school, took
her in a buggy to the nearest sta
tion, whence they took train TO
Indian Territory. Both parties
resided near Hinton, six miles
north of Columbia.

A LOST SCHOOL.
'Twou|d be Good Enough if
it could be Found.

Will Tygar is in trouble as to
the location of a Cherokee national
school to which he was some
time ago appointed as teacher by
the Cherokee board of education.
The name of the institution Of
learning is Oseequah, which being
interpreted means good enough"
Mr.. Tygar has thus far not been
able to find it upon the map nor
elsewhere upon the face of Della
ware district. 1t seems to be
newly created gymnasium, and
may possibly exist only in the
fertile brain of some school broker
who has simply sold goods that
are not in existence and therefore
can never be delivered. If any
one whose eye falls upon this item
knows where the seminary,
academy, gymnasium or seat OF
learning known as Oseequah, or
&C ood Enough" is located
may confer a favor upon Mr..
Tygar of this city by
revealing the fact instanter, in
order that school may open, and
that a whole neighborhood be not
deprived of the means ofeducation
and civilization.

MackereI Have Come.

Very early last fall Dave Hall, in
the goodness OF his heart, gave out
the announcement that he had ordered
two barrels OF Georgia ,mackerel
(worth about a dollar and half a
barely and that when they come he
was going to give about all his friends
mess of a dozen or so. That was,
doubtless, the last Dave thought
there would be Of the matter. But
not so; every week or two someone to
whom he had promised mess of fish
logged him up on the matter. About
three weeks or month ago our friend
read Of dozen freight cars with their
contents being burned at Cincinnati,
and the information was given out
that the fish were on that train. But
Dock Frayser, Penn Phillips and the
others would not be put of, and this
morning were apprised that the fish
were at the depot In this city.

AGAINST THE TREATY.
The Greatest Weakness in
the Treaty Located.
to the Globe. Democrat.

Dispatch to the Globe- Democrat.
The senate and house committee
on Indian affairs have begun the
consideration of the Cherokee
, agreement in Joint meeting. The
impression grows that the treaty
will not be ratified, at least not
without material amendment. 1t
was learned in what respect
members of the committee con-
I slider the agreement as giving too
much to the "big Indians" as
they designated, and not enough
to the poorer and more ignorant
Indians. Under the agreement
fixed value is placed upon all the
lands in the Cherokee nation.
The best lands are appraised at s5
an acre, and values are graduated
from that figure down to 25c an
acre. 1t is said, as a matter Of
fact, that the smart Indians in the
nation are now OCCUPYING the
greater portion of the best lands
in the nation, and the more
ignorant class the less desirable
lands.
Under the agreement the In
dians would have the right to take
aliotments on the lands which
they now occupy at the value
fixed in the agreement. II is true
that the Indian who takes the
poorer land is to get as much more
as the difference in the price
between the land he takes and the
best and at fixed valuation Of s5
an acre. But this system, it is
pointed out, will by no means
equalize the benefits to flow to the
Indians from the taking of allot-
ments. 1t is claimed that as soon
as the lands in the nation are
allotted, those lands which in the
agreement are given valuation OF
So an acre will go to $50 an acre,
while on the other hand the lands
quoted at from 81 down will not
advance at all. Therefore, the
man who is forced to take large
quantity Of the poor lands will
only receive the value fixed by the
agreement, if, indeed, he receives
that much.
But the Indian who gets the
best lands if a valuation of s.
an acre will have the valuation oi
his land increased tenfold within
a very short time. 1t is to this
disproportion in benefits which
will flow to the members OF, the
Cherokee tribe under the agree.
ment that members OF the commit
tee are giving their attention, anc
in this particular the agreement i;
almost certain to be amended.
