Ex-Ninister Barrett Favors Holding
on to the Philippines.

ON TO the fnItIpplHeHs
Shanghai, January 16.-John Barrett,
formerly United States minister to Siam,
in an address before the Shanghai cham
Der of commerce today on the question Of
American control Of the Philippines. said
he feared that the opponents at home OF
such control did not appreciate Its vital
Importance to American commerce and
influence in the Far East, where immeas-
urable opportunities would otherwise be
lost. The failure to assume and maintain
control. said MIR. Barrett, would forever
relegate the United States to secondary
place in the Pacific.
AS for the difficulties OF governing the
archipelago, this had been much exas-
gerated. Aguinaldo and his foilowers
could be paciHed by mixture OF dipio-
macy and frmness, nor would the Mon
roe doctrine be yitiated for the occupation
of the Philippines by the United States
was not a direct act OF conquest, but the
Inevitable result Of war ia which grave
responsibilities had been unayoidably en-
tailed.
the nations which, like England, we're
chiefly concerned approved Of permanent
American control and concluded with the
remark that all nations interested could
safely trust 10 the good Judgment OF fTes-
ident Mckinley.

VISIT FROM THE CHIEF.
Prospect Of Temporary Sus-
pension of Curtis Law.

Chief Mayes is in the city
today. When approached upon
the subject of affairs of the nation
he could give little information.
The secretary of the interior had
stated that pending the formation
OF a new agreement, or amend
ment and approval at the present
one and its adoption by the Chero-
KEGS, he would suspend the opera
tions Of the Curtis law if be could
possibly do so. 1t was clearly ap-
parent that the chief looked for
the adoption of an early agree
ment. About this stage of the
conversation "Uncle Boob" Little
dropped in and the affairs of state
quickly gave way to a discussion
of the hounds. This conference
soon broke up in a row, however,
for SAM" who had dropped the
intelligence that he knew where
mother fox had a big litter of
young ones, refused to disclose his
secret. "Uncle Boob" went off
as full of curiosity as a Yankee,
and with look of disgust and a
threat to hunt that whole country,
but he'd find them-and it's just
like him to do SO. Perhaps it is
not generally known, but a few
years ago some of the gentlemen
in that section imported number
foxes and turned them loose, so
that they could have chase occa-
sionally.

Muskogee Court.

The United States Court today
is engaged in the trial OF Pearsal
for killing Ben Upton some time
since. This is a case which was
tried about one year ago and the
jury, after being out some time,
disagreed, and were discharged.
The case now comes up on sec
ond trial. Pearsall is charged
with willful murder, and the de.
-fense claims that the killing was
an accident and not the act of
Pearsall. Of one thing there
seems to be certainty-that Ben
Upton is dead and was killed by a
gunshot wound caused by dis
charge from Pearsall's gun, but
whether Pearsall did the shooting
or Upton caused the gun to be dis
charged appears to be the question
which may be the turning point in
the trial. The jury is composed
of some of the best men in this
country, and will give the matter
careful attention. Times.

AFTER THE COMMISSION.
Too Much Attention Given to
Cherokees and Greeks.

Washington, D. c., May s.
Numerous appeals have been pour
ing in upon Secretary Hitchcock
from cattlemen of the Creek ma
tion, asking additional time in
which to remove their cattle. The
secretary, however, holds that the
matter is now with the attorney
general and district attorney, and
that the department here cannot
interfere.
Mr.. Richard Adams, the Wash
ington representative of the Della
ware Indians, has called the atten-
tion OF the secretary of the interior
to the fact that the Dawes commits
sion is preparing 10 make citizen
ship rolls for the Cherokee nation
and TO allot their lands without
complying with the provisions of
the Curtis law which expressly
stipulates that 157 1000 acres Of
land should be set aside for the
Delaware Indians. Secretary
Hitchcock has already called upon
the Dawes Commission for lnfor-
nation upon the subject.
Mr.. Stanley, OF the Choctaw ma
ton, has been in Washington for
some time making complaints
against fhe action of the Dawes
commission in its operations in
the territory. Mr.. Stanley insists
that the commission is paying too
much attention to the Cherokee
nation, which has never entered
into any treaty stipulations with
the government as have the Choc-
taw and Ckickasaw nations. and
that as the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw nations entered into an agree
ment the work OF allotting their
lands, as we'll as the completion
OF their citizenship rolls, should
be attended to first. In this, il is
understood, Secretary Hitchcock
concurs, and it is probable that he
will issue emphatic instructions to
the Dawes commission in relation
TO the matter Washington cor
respondenr to South McAlester
Capital.

Lady MerEe.

Lady Mertie is the name of a
beautiful bay mare owned by Gen
@. P. M. Turner, who lives three
miles from the city, and she is fast
gaining reputation as roadster.
This morning when the general
awoke and rubbed his sleepy eyes
he suddenly rememb bered that he
was to take the early train to Wag-
oner to attend TO legal business in
that city. The general grabbed
his pants, then his watch, and to
his utter dismay he found that he
only had 10 minutes in which to
catch the train, but the general
never gives up and at once ordered
Lady Mertie hitched to a buggy,
jumped in, and taking up the rib
bons, turned her loose. Aad, to

To the common herd it may ap-
pear that Cherokee politics is re-
ceiving no attention, but such is
far from the facts in the case.
There is vaet amount of fgur-
ing being done as to who is to be
the next chief. From now on till
after the convention there will be-
enough politics to satisfy the most
sanguine of politicians.

s. Glover against R. HI. Kern for
