largely against the cattlemen in the
decision Of the Attorney General to
be handed down shortly. =
Chapter 3 section PIG of the
Revised Statutes of the United
States says:
No purchase, grant, lease, or
other conveyance of lands, or of
any title or claim thereto, from
any aation or tribe of Indians,
law shall he of any validity in
or equity, unless the same made
by treaty or convention entered
into pursuant to the constitution.
Any person who, not being en-
ployed under the authority of the
I nitel States, attempts to nego-
tiate such treaty or convention,
directly or INDIRECTLY, or to treat
with any such nation. or tribe of
Indians, for the title or purchase
OF any lands by them held or claim
ed, is liable to a penalty of one
thousand dollars. The agent of any
state, Who may be present at any
treaty held here with Indians under
authority of the United States, in
the presence and with the appro-
baton OF the Commissioner of the
United States appointed to hold
the same, may, however. propose
to and adjust with the Indians the
compensation to be made for their
CLAIMS to lands of such states,
which shall be extinguished with
such treaty. >
Section 2117 of the Creek laws
provides:
That every person who drives
or otherwise conveys any stock or
horses or mules or cattle to range
or feed on any lands belonging to
any Indian or Indian tribe without
the consent of such tribe is liable
to a penalty of one dollar for each
of such stock
1t will thus be seen that both the
laws of the Greek nation and the
federal statutes expressly prohibit
and forbid the leasing or sale of
lands in the nations without the
consent of both the nations and the
government of the United States.
Since the question has arisen and
the statutes relating thereto have
been carefully examined it is a
matter of considerable surprise to
tho officials here that the cattlemen
of Texas, Kansas and the adjacent
states have been permitted to openly
and recklessly violate the law, and
evade it in the manner in which
they have during past years.
Attorney General Miller under
the Harrison administration, At
torney General Olney under the
Cleveland administration and At
+. torney General Harmon also under
: the Cleveland administration, all
held that the Creek and the Chero-
kee nations as well as other tribes
, in the Indian Territory, had nc
power under existing statutes tC
lease one acre of their lands to any
t party or parties for grazing Ol
: other purposes without the expires:
r consent of the federal government
! which meant, of course, that sucl
leases must be authorized by Con
: gress.

provisions of the Curtis law. At

The Secretary of the Interior is
busily engaged in preparing plats

of the appropriation committees of
the House and Senate instructed
him to proceed with the construc-

more money, after the amount
which had been appropriated was
expended, they would authorize
more.

Washington, May 9.-Defnite
steps were taken today by persons
interested in the project for the
erection on a site near the old
homestead of Gen. Robert K.
Lee, at Arlington, of an eques-

The matter has been under con.

OF southerners visited the pros
posed site which will be transfer

The site which is about 100

commands fine view of the ma

north and south nearly forty
years ago can be seen far below

Charleston, May 1.-THE fea-

the addresses delivered in the con-

entirely impromptu, the occasion
for it being the presentation by

torical. There were few referen-
ces to current events, and such as
were made were not very striking
TO each of these speakers
royal welcome was accorded
Hampton was cheered to the echo
and the delegates simply went
wild over Wheeler.
The business of the day was
routine for the most part.
There is considerable to do be-
ing made over the resolutions Of
fered by Gen. Stephen u. Lee
yesterday in reference to Nc
kinley's speech concerning the
Confederate dead. They simply
affirm the conventions recogni.
tion of the fact that the country
is reunited. They were referred
to committee and now it looks
very much as though they were
going to cause trouble. A good
many delegates oppose them
violently and should they ever get
before the convention there is 90

occasion was delivered by Gen.

At the auditorium tonight the re-
union chorus and orchestra gave
concert. The program was
made up exclusively of Confeder~
ate war songs. The audience was
brilliant one and numbered
many thousands. The enthusiasm
aroused By the singing of "Dixie"
and other familiar airs could
scarcely be- described. A box was
occupied by the officers of the
cruiser Raleigh. Up to this morn
ing nearly 10000 people have ar
rived in the city.
