Appropriation Approved.

The last session of the Cherokee
council passed suLdry appropria-
ton bills, liquidating expenses of
the council, etc. The batch we're
forwarded to Washington City for
the approval of the president.
Yesterday information was re-
ceived at the executive office to
the effect that all the appropria-
tions had been allowed With the
exception of a bill providing foi
the payment OF warrant drawn
on the treasurer of the Cherokee
nation for $1,000 and held by G. D
Markham. The original bill ap-
propriatiDg this amount had been
lost and when the president was
asked to approve he refused on
the ground that the bill proyi ed
for the treasurer to pay same. and
as there is no treasurer Of the
Cherokee nation the interior de-
partment as disbursing agent
could not recommend lis payment
on account of its irreguIari.y.-

Inquest in the Wade Murder Case
viii Now Be Held.

Now that the Australia is back, in
terest in the Wade murder case, the
tragedy that was enacted on the YES
sci as she was leaving last time,
has been renewed. Contrary to the
expectations of number of people
Sidney, the butcher, who played such
prominent part in the affair, returned
with the steamer. 1t will be remem-
bered that the shots which struck
down poor Gillespie were intended for
the butcher. II was between Wade
and Sidney that the trouble had oc-
Cured. Sidney was an eyewitness to
the shooting. Consequently he is the
most valuable witness, and the police
have waited anXiously for his coming.
The coroner's inquest will not be
held until Saturday. as Geo. Martin.
one of the jurymen, is away on Molo-
kai and will not return before that
time. Some extremely interesting tes-
timony is expected at the inquest.

No one can blame the trustees of
the Bishop estate for not having made
one grand effort in the best applica-
ton of the great charity in their
hands. They acted according to the
light they had. But there was other
light which they failed to see.

would have enabled the natives to live
increase and prosper. Fertile land is
there without limit. The obtaining of
abundant water was only question
Of comparatively inexpensive expert
ment. The ownership of the land
by this great estate enabled its
trustees to exclude, in large meas
ure. any undesirable immigration. The
allotment of land to the natives, with
inalienable titles, in small parcels,
supplied with abundance of water for
irrigation would have enabled them to
supply themselves with food, and raise
surplus for markets elsewhere. The
