New York, Sept. IA special from
Montreal says:
Sir William Van Horne, chairman OF the
board OF directors Of the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company, has admitted what has
long been an open secret, that the Cana
dian Pacific is anxious to establish a fast
Atlantic steamship service between Can.
ada and Liverpool and only waits the
promise OF an adequate subsidy from the
dominion government before putting its
plans into execution.
Sir William also said that his company
would like TO buy out the Inter-C Colonial
railway from Canada and after establish
ing its fast steamship line would run a
special Canadian Pacific train in England
between London and Liverpool.
Il would die in peace" were Sir vii.
Hams words, III l could see a Canadian
last Atlantic line in connection with the
Canadian Pacific railway an accomplished
fact. My plan would be to have the fast
passenger ships run TO Quebec and Hail
lax, while great cargo ships would carry
freight TO Montreal and 81. Johns.
The Canadian Pacific train would run
out OF Euston station in London to Liver
pool. No expense would be spared 20
make it the finest train in the world The
name OF the Canadian Pacific would APP
pear ON the coaches Everything would
be done to impress travellers with the idea
that they we're on Canadian train. On
every ticket sold we would guarantee con.
nevtions. Whether the traveller Was bound
Tor points in Canada or the United States
or fOr Yokohama, Hong Kong OF Aust
tralh, We would guarantee that there
would be no delays.
~On the Atlantic we would have the
fastest steamships ahoat, ships OF greater
speed than those that run to New York
and superior to them in every way. The
result would be much the same on the At
lantie As it has been on the Pacific, where,
since the Canadian Pacific began its line
from Vancouver to Japan, We have taken
practically all the passenger business
from the American lines to san Francisco.
Before this can be accomplished an ar
rangement must be made by which the
Canadian Pacific trains can meet the ships
at Halifax and the Canadian Pacific must
have such control over the railway be-
tween 81. Johns and Halifax that We can
absolutely guarantee no delays win take
place. Ii the Canadian Pacific owned the
Inter Colonial there would be 10 delay
whatever. The whole line from London to
Hong Kong and Australia would be un-
der one management"
Continuing, Sir William said h. believed
the people vi Canada would approve vi
the purchase OF the Inter Colonial by the
Canadian Pacific

treaty was unsatisfactory in so many
particulars that there WAS at no time
any chance of the joint committee re-
commencing it's ratification.
The provisions relating to the Del
awares. to the valuation of lands, to
extra courts, separate schools and
mineral lands we're opposed almos.
unanimously by the mem bers of the
committee. Probably the feature OF
the agreement which caused
the most antagonism Was
that with regard to state
hood. The agreement provided that
the Indian Territory, when the proper
time arrived, should be admitted as q
separate state. The committee WAS
almost unit in the conclusion that
the Indian Territory should be joined
with Oklahoma and the two brought
in as one state.
The failure of the treaty puts the
Cherokees under the operation of the
Curtis law, the provisions of which the
committee much prefer to the proposed
treaty. The only trou BILE with the Cur
tis law is that 1t does not convey title.
1t provides, however, for the allot-
ment of the Cherokee lands
to the tribe, and further leg
islatiOn, it is said by members of the
committee, will be enacted at the next
session of congress which will permit
the allOttees to dispose of their hold
ings. This, it is thought, will lead to
the working out of the Indian Territory
problem in time.

CHEROKEES INDIGNANT
Claim a Mexican Syndicate Is Try
inu to Defeat Their Treaty.

A special dispatch to the Globe-Dem-
ocrat, February II, says:-The Chero-
kee people are indignant just now.
David Muskrat, Daniel Grittz and Hen
ry Dick are in Washington as dele
gates, self-constituted, to defeat the
Cherokee-Dawes treaty, lately made
and ratified by the CherOkees by two
thirds majority vote. Muskrat, Grittz
and Dick went to Washington at
the expense of those engaged in the
Mexican colonization scheme, which is
to make the Indians dissatisfied here
and to keep up the dissatisfaction I'M
til they get desperate enough to trade
their fertile land here in the territory
for the barren and desert lands OF
Mexico.
To do this successfully, the colonial
ton schemers are having them fight
the ratification of the Cherokee-Dswes
treaty at Washington. The people say
this is an unholy scheme got up by q
syndicate which has an option on 4, OOO,-
600 acres of Mexican sand land, and
these Indians are being used by those
steering the deal.
They warn senators and congressman
to be careful of the statements made to
them. They say it would be q shame
for these Indians, nondescripts, to un-
do a work that has taken six or eight
years and hundreds of thousands of
dollars to accomplish. It would not
only paralyze business entirely in the
Indian Territory to have this treaty
fail of ratification by congress, but it
would be q setback to the whole south
western country surrounding the In
dian Territory.
