The Creek and Cherokee treaties
will be presented and taken up by
the house committee on Indian af-
fairs at its next regular meeting next
Thursday when Chief Burlington of
the Cherokee nation and Governor
Porter of the Greek nation will be
present with the delegations from
the respective tribes to urge favora
BILE action. The Creek treaty was
withdrawn from congress at the re-
quest of Mr.. Porter, to permit amend
ments by the tribal council and it
will be ready to be introduced not
later than "wednesday. Chief Buff
fington and the delegation of Chero-
KEGS will have authority TO make
such alterations and amendments in
the Cherokee treaty as in their opin-
may be desirable or as congress may
see fit to exact. The interior depart
ment is particularly anxious that
these matters should be disposed of
at an early date. While the Curtis
law has been nominally in operation
in the Cherokee and Creek nations,
all OF its provisions have not been in
force pending the ratification of
treaties with these two tribes. The
object of this was to give these two
nations the same opportunities ac-
corded the Choctaws, Chickasaws
and SeminoIes. With these treaties
ratified and enacted into laws, condi-
tions in the northern district will be
greatly improved and many of the
complex and embarrassing problems
now confronting the officials will be
obliterated.
~
A determined effort Is being made
by members of the house and senate
to secure the rattle alton of the treaty
with the Kiowas and Comanche In
dians at this session of congress.
Senator Harris of Kansas has offered
an amendment to the Indian appro-
priation bill containing the agree
ment with the tribe and the commit
tee on Indian affairs of the senate
has accepted the amendment as
portion of the bill. 1t is question
able, however, whether the amend
ment will be germaine. 1t is obvious
ly certain that the question of order
will be raised against the amend
ment when the bill comes up for
consideration in the senate 1t will
be remembered that this treaty was
included in the Indian appropriation
bill as reported to the house and
stricken from the bill when a point
OF order was raised. 1t is clearly
new legislation which cannot be
contained in an appropria-
ton bill. The treaty has been favor
ably reported by the house commit
tee as separate measure and will
be taken up by that body at an
early date. Altogether the chances
of the passage of the measure are
considered good and it is probable
the country Will be thrown open for
settlement within the next year.
~
No action has yet been taken by
the department of justice on the bill
repeating the act authorizing the
construction of jails in the Indian
Territory. Attorney-General Griggs
still has the matter under considera-
ton and the general impression is
that he will submit an adverse re-
port to the committee on Indian af-
fairs of the house.

fairs has favorably reported the bill
introduced by Representative Brown
low to allow the DeIawares to bring
suit in the court of claims against
the federal government for the re-
covery of property claimed by the
tribe. The committee has also favor
ably reported the bill authorizing
the Mississippi Choctaws to bring
suit in the court of claims against
the Choctaw nation for their share in
the lands and properties of the latter
nation.

Special to the Ardmoreite.
Washington, d. O., Feb. 19.-The
senate committee on Indian affairs
is still pondering over legislation re-
lating to the ejectment of the intrud-
srs in the Greek and Cherokee ma
tions. While it seems to be practi-
cally certain that some legislation
will be enacted for their relief, no
one can accurately predict what
that legislation will be. The men,
bers of the committee are proceed
ing slowly, with the idea in view of
carefully considering all phases of
the question in order that their de-
cisiop may be equitable and just to
all parties concerned. 1t is appar-
ent that neither the McKennon bill
introduced by Senator Platt, or the
bill prepared by the attorney for the
intraders and introduced by Senator
Pettigrew will be reported as intro
duced. 1t is probable that many of
the provisions of the Pettigrew bill
will be embodied in the one reported
to the senate. In the meantime no
action has been taken on the joint
resolution to suspend all action by
the federal courts and the Indian
agent in eiectment proceedings; but
it is understood that the attorney
general will instruct the district at
torney in the northern district to
delay any action in these cases until
congress has had ample time to act.

MORE BUTCHERIES.
Killing of Native Christians in China
Rival Armenian Horrors.
The viceroy. of Yang-Ts~-Ksapg District
Pledge Protection to ForetRners-Ger-
man Officer Saws Powers Have En-
tered ON y BInodv ConfIIet

London, June 29.-The world again
has to depend on rumor in regard to
the fate of the supposed exiles from
the Chinese capital. It is generally
accepted that they have been COM
PEELED to leave Rekin, but whether
coastwards, under Chinese escort, or
as hostages on the way to the posi-
bic new capital, their plight must ex-
cite the gravest anxiety, as even if
they are in care of a Chinese escort
this is hardly considered good guar
antee of the safety of foreign devils
in a country swarming with their
most virulent enemies. Seymour ar
rived at Tien Tsin with 312 of his
force wounded, besides 50 killed. The
damage done to Tiens Tsin has been
much exaggerated. Shanghai is
quiet. Other dispatches from Shang-
hal reiterate the announcements of
the massacres of native Christians
in the islands districts which rival the
Armenian horrors. The officials at
the places watched by gunboats
make a show of protecting the mis-
sionaries but there is not even pre-
tense of protection for the converts
in the interior who have been butch
cred by wholesale.
Predicts Long aud Bloody t,onf1tct.
Vancouver, B. c., June 29.-Gen.
Stahl, of the Imperial German army,
who has been Investigating conditions
in the orient under a special COM
mission from the German govern
ment, has arrived here on his way
home. On being asked if he thought
the boxers would be quickly sup
pressed he said that it is his opin-
ion the powers had started in upon
long and bloody conflict. In the
end the boxers would be disbanded,
but the sacrifice of life would be ap-
palling, for the movement was
spreading like wild fire throug bout
China's vast empire. The south was
also about to take up arms and his
information was that the uprising
in the south was very grave and of
great dimensions.
COnsuIs Accepted This Proposal.
Rome, Junt 20 The Italian consul
at Shanghai telegraphs that the vice
roys of the provinces of Yang-Tse-
IIiang valley have resolved to main
| tain order provided the powers do not
intervene SO long as order prevails.
The consuls, it is added, unanimously
accepted the proposal and signed a
declaration to that effect.

Canton, o., July President and
Mrs. Mckinley reached Canton at

famous in the campaign of 1896,
where they were greeted by the mem
bers Of the citizens reception com
mittee of '96, who had arranged the
informal reception. It was just such
a scene as was witnessed every day
of that campaign, and when the
president said how glad he and Mrs.
Mckinley were to get back to their
old home and to receive so cordial a
welcome from their old neighbors and
freiends, the cheering was as loud and
as luSty and the enthusiasm as great
as when the crowds from all the coun-
try came here in the first campaign.

London, July 2.-Ohlcial dispatches
received by the consular body at
Shanghai, an Express cable, dated
Shanghai, July L, says. confirm IN the
smallest manner the report OF tho
butehery of Baron Won KetteIer. the
German minister, on June Is. The
ambassador was riding in Legation
street when he was attacked by Chi

his horse and killed His body was
hacked to pieces with swords. The
German legation and six other build
ings we're burned and number of
servants of the legations were killed
and their bodies thrown into the
flames.
Official confirmation of this CHASTITY
business has created the utmost con-
sternation among the consul generals
of the powers, who express fear that
war foutrance will be declared
against the Pel1in government. The
consuls entertain little hope that any
foreigners are left alive in the capital.
There are 100 foreigners connected
with rbe legations, so in the custom
house, English and American tourists
and others to tSle number of $50, and
nearly 500 legation guards.

Nankin, June 80, says: French

ended Saturday viii be over $50. G00,-
600. This is $4O,O0o,oO more than was
estimated by Secretary Gage in his
last message to congress. The in
