Washington, March 10, 1S99.-
The Interior department is putting
into operation, as rapidly as pos
sible, the machinery which will
sound the death knell of the tribal
governments in the Indian Terri
tory. The Curtis bill is to be put
into operation in all its details, and
at the very earliest opportunity.
The first operations of the law will
be the opening Of offices in Musko-
gee, Wagner and other towns in
the Greek nation for the reception
of applications for patents of lands
to the Greek Indians. These ap-
plications will be received and tenn
porary certificates issued. The
townsite appraisers for the Greek
nation will be appointed within the
next few weeks. The first appraiser
to be appointed will be for the town
of IMuskogee. In the Cherokee
nation the work may be delayed
temporarily owing to the continued
protests of members of the tribe,
as well as the inability of the In
terror department to reach that
nation at present.

Agent Dewey Wisdom, of the
union agency, will soon be remov-
ed and a successor appointed.
Numerous charges have been pre-
ferred against him, and the de-
partment has decided to take ac-
ton as soon as the President re-
turns, which will be probably with
in two weeks. The change will be
made both because of the charges
preferred and for political reasons.
Mr.. Wisdom is Democrat, ap-
pointed from Tennessee. He was
personal friend of ex-senator
Isham G.. Harris of Tennessee and
it was through his influence that
Mr.. Wisdom was retained. Who
his successor will be is not yet de-
cided, but there are a number OF
applicants for the place, among
them being a Tennesseean who was
"a lieutenant colonel in the volun.

The members of the ChickaSaw
and Choctaw appraising boards
have not vet reached the city, al
though they were telegraphed for
nearly two weeks ago. As soon as
they arrive they will receive in
Structions in detail in regard to the
work ahead Of them. The ChOctaw
board, it is understood, will com
mence operations in South McAles-
ter, and it is believed now that they
will be unable to complete their
work before next fall.
The Indian Office has already
decided that it will be impossible
for one board i'll the Choctaw and
one in the Chickasaw nation to ap-
praise all the tOwnsite property in
those nations, as it is evident when
the country is opened, towns will
grow faster than a single board
can appraise the property. A re-
commentator will, therefore, be
made to Congress by the Indian
office for the passage of a bill au-
thorizing the appointment of an
additional board for each nation in
order to expedite the work.

anxious regarding the subject.
H. Vignaud, secretary of the Ameri-

latters argument was very much ap-
preciated by the court. To this Mr..
Harrison replied:
I'VE did our best in what I know IS

RECEPTION
RENDERED TO
ARCHBISHOP
Students Accord Honors to
the Distinguished Pre-
late of This City.
VISITS NOTRE DAME.
Interesting Day Spent by the
Churchman at the University He
Attended Many Years Ago.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Oct. 2-One of
the most enthusiastic receptions ever
accorded an alumnus of Notre Dame
was that given Archbishop Riordan
of San Francisco to-day by the faculty
and students of Notre Dame University
The preate's visit was entirely unoffi-
cial He came simply to visit the uni
versity, which he attended as a student
forty three years ago. He sought to
come quietly but the news that he
would reach Notre Dame to-day had
preceded him and he was heartily well
coined.
The large refectOry, where most of
the upper classmen take their meals.
was decorated with ferns and the uni
versity orchestra played during the
dinner hour Afternoon lectures were
discontinued owing to the arrival of
the distinguished guest. Archbishop
Riordan spent the day meeting new
members of the faculty. Late In the af-
ternoon party Of ecclesiasts, of which
Archbishop Riordan was a member,
visited St. Mary's Academy. At the
conclusion of the dinner in the senior
refectory at Notre Dame, r. G. O'Mal-
ley greeted the Archbishop as follows
We students of this university ten
der you, It's hOnOreQ alumnuS, greet
ing which Notre Dame men extend
only to one another. Though nothing
of sincerity can be added to this well
come, we must thank you for the kind
favor of your visit. We know you as a
distinguished churchman, and so we
derive not only pleasure but benefit
from your presence here. Such Occa-
sionS as this are important educational
factors, supplementing the work of the
faculty, for we learn not alone by the
study of moral and intellectual princi-
pies. but by inspiration drawn from the
living embodiment of these. We can
not hope. on account of the distance
of your home from us, 10 see you as
often as we should wish, but we trust
your convenience will give us the pleas
ure again soon For your kindness in
affording US this opportunity of in
struction we assure you of our deep
gratitude"
The remarks were so filled with good
feeling and good fellowship that the
Archbishop reconSidered his determtna-
ton not to address the students, and
made a most eloquent speech. He said
in part:
Il wish to say to you, my dear young
men, that the great question of to-day
in this country is not the question of
imperialism or expansion; ii is not the
question of gold or silver; 1t is not the
question of the opening of new lines
of railways or harbor communications
with distant islands, but the question
is, what kind of men are we going to
have? That is the question to be solved
in the schools and colleges of the land

COOPERATION IN THE

Important Motion Presented to In

BERLIN, Oct. 2.-Dr. Nansen. the Arc

The United States ought to join Great
Britain and Germany in cooperative eX-
ploration. Thus the three progressive ma
tons would work for the common good of
mankind and science. If the polar dis
tricts are ever to be thoroughly explored,
it will probably be due to such joint ac-
ton"
Poultney Bigelow has presented a writ
ten motion for adoption by the Interna-
tonal Geographical Congress to the ef-
feet that hereafter each colonial power
pledges itself to. submit such new methods
or questions relative to the treatment of
natives as may come up from time to

mittee empowered to decide upon them.
