INDIAN TERRITORY.
Annual Report Of the United States
Indian Inspector.
WHITES WITHOUT REPRESENTATION


Washington, Nov. 2s.-The annual
report of the United States Indian in.
spector for Indian territory calls at
tention to the fact that the territory,
embracing nearly 100000 acres, 10
owned in common by citizens Of the
various tribes, comprising Indians, ne
groes and inter-married whites, aggre.
eating s4,75O people, including freed
men, within the borders of which also
are located some $4,000 whites or
non-citizens who have no title to prop
erty and are without representation
in the government of the territory.
Until the lands are appraised and al
lotted by the commission to the five
civilized tribes, lands in townsites
disposed Of and tribal governments
have become extinct, certain laws of
Arkansas are extended over Indian
territory. Federal laws apply in all
other instances and the secretary Of
the interior is charged by law with en-.
forcement of rules and regulations
governing other matters. Such con.
dition renders affairs so complicated
that it is not surprising when courts
and eminent lawyers differ as to the
proper construction of the law that
people are frequently at loss to de-
termine what laws apply or who is au-
thorized to enforce them.
Recommendation Is made for modif-
cation of section of the Curtis act
so as to authorize the secretary Of
the interior to investigate land I'M.
provement contracts and remove non.
citizens, giving the latter the right to
appeal to the United States court to
regain possession. Other recommends
dations are that the present system
and rate of taxes be superseded by
uniform system fixed upon non-citi'
zens engaged in business to be col
lected by rules and regulations for the
common good; the withdrawal Of
sufficient amount of the Cherokee ma
ton funds from the United States
treasury to pay all their outstanding
indebtedness; and additional legisla-
ton providing that until allotment
citizens may rent their proportion Of
agricultural or grazing" land for
such purposes only.

WANTS ARBITRATION.


London, Nov. 2s.--The Vienna cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle
says he hears that President Kruger
has pettioned the powers for arbitra-
ton under The Hague convention;
that two powers acceded to his re-
quest, but that all the others re- iected
the petition.
The Paris correspondent of the
Daily Mail wires that he had con
,ersation with Mr. Kruger yesterday
and that the Boer statesman grew
excited and vehement when the re-
porter limited that England would ig-
more all attempts to secure arbitra-
ton and would fight any combination
of powers rather than give up the re-
publics. "Mr. Kruger insisted says
the correspondent, "that Mr.. Cham
berlain had signed The Hague conven-
ton and could not withdraw. He said
that England had earned just pun
ishment, and that If there was a God
she would be punished"
