OF IMPORTANCE
TO CHER0KEES.
Indians Must Agree Before
Any Change in Land
Tenure Can Be
Effective.

Judge Clayton of the Central
district has rendered very elabor-
ate and exhaustive decision up
holding the constituIonality of the
Curtis act. Judge Clayton held
that courts have no power to ques-
tion the good faith of an act Of
congress. aud could not assume
that the Curtis law was only in
tended to force the Indians into
making agreements more favor2 Ule
10 the plans OF the government.
rhe judge stated further that con
gress was independent Of the judi
ciaI department of government,
and the courts have no right 10
question the motives OF congress
IN its legislative acts.
The portion of Judge Ciayton's
decision that is of most interest TO
Cherokees, and its particularly
important at this juncture, Is
what be had to say relative to land
title. He said: Because OF the
title and tenure by which these
Indian lands were held, this legis-
Iation was impossible without
their consent. They held their
lands by a fee simple title. They
held them by tenancy in common.
Congress had no constitutional
power to say to them, you shall
partition your lands and change
the tenure of your holding Nor
could il take from them the custO-
DIV of their mines. Before this
could be done, their consent, be-
cause of the title to their realty,
was an absolute necessity. 1t was
an event that must happen before
any law that congress might pass
TO this end could have any consti-
tutional force"
If Judge Clayton is correct in
MS construction OF the Curtis law,
and he is certainly splendid au-
thority, the Curtis law, so far as it
affects land tenure in the Cherokee
nation is unconstitutional.
\ new feature in numbering the
Katy engines has been inaugurated
and henceforth all engines over
hauled in their shops will be sub

aluminium instead of yellow paint
and the size Of the figures on the
engine tanks will be enlarged from
one and one half feet to two feet.
Engine No. 161 had the honor of
being the first to be so decorated.
A modest and energetic lady
clerk in a certain store placed her
self in a very embarrassing posi-
ton the other day. A miner came
in and wanted some hose for his
wife. The clerk took down a box
and showed him a p air and recon-
mended them highly, winding up
by saying: 81 know exactly what
those are, for | wear them my
self" She was Eorrified when

Little Oracle sat out on the porch
the other evening, looking thought
fully away to the westward, where the
new moon formed thin, pale crescent

''What are you thinking about.

This was beyond her and she said

ton is carried. Now, as this vote must
be considered a test of strength it can

Reoeipts of War Taxes.

Washington, July 26.-Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Wilson has com
pleted the tabulation of the returns
from the various collecting districts of
the United States up to the close of
business on June 80. The total is $272,-
$40, S50.25. The revenues for the pre-
ceding year were $3.50, 992, 322. 10. The
difference between the two amounts,
$1O2, 9S3, 52S OF, can be fairly credited as
the proceeds derived from the war
taxes. Commissioner Wilson does not
expect that any material change will
be made in the revenue law by the cons
ing congress- but a number of minor
changes villa be necessary to straighten
out antiquities.

VIOLATE NEUTRALITY LAWS.
Report That AguinaIdO, the Insurgent
Leader, Secures War Supplies in Hong
Kong and Yokohama.

Washington, July 29.-According to
verbal reports to the navy from officers
returning from the Philippines, Aguin-
aldo continues to get war supplies
through German merchants in Hong
Kong and Japanese merchants in
Yokohama, although our consuls
have been directed to keep a sharp
lookout for filibustering. In more
than one instance British officers have
aided the United States in preventing
the shipment of arms from Hong Kong,
but officers just returned say there is
no doubt the temptation offered by
Aguinaldo's high prices has induced
merchants to violate the neutrality laws
and try to force the imperfect block
ade. Twelve Spanish gun boats recent
ly put on blockade duty have done re-
markedly good service in cutting off
supplies between different islands.
Last mail reports said they had cap
tured 16 different cargoes of supplies,
but not any valuable munitions of war.
