Cherokee and Creek Agreements held
up by the Senator.

Washington, June 5 Despite
the efforts Of Representative Cur
tis and the other members Of the
House committee on Indian affairs
TO get the Creek and Cherokee
agreements ratified before congress-
adjourns, the bills ratifying them
will fail. An effort was made to
get these bills up in the senate
last night, but Senator Stewart Of
Nevada objected and botht went
over. Mr.. Stewart says he will
object to their consideration until
the bill ratiiying the Cherokee
agreement is amended so as to
provide for the enrolment of the
I05 Cherokee families excluded
from the tribal rolls bysthe Dawes
commission. This amendment
will not be accepted, and as the
Nevada senator seems determined
the bills will not be acted upon,
Secretary Hitchcock recently
sent letter 20 congress urging the
importance OF congressional action,
AID members Of the Indian com
mittees in the house and senate
have done their utmost to get the
bills ratifying the tseaties through.
Senator Stewart is being severely
criticised for his course.

VANDERBILT TOOK REVENGE.
How He Sacrificed 100000 in order
to Get Even with Horse
man stone.

Ever hear the story why the late
Nh. Vanderbilt paid odd change for
Maud Shat is, why thesum was $21,-
600, instead OF, say. $4,000 or So, 900 2"
inquired wen-known horseman, re-
lates the Boston Herald There is an
interesting story back Of that which
has never been printed, and as had
it from Mr.. Vanderbilt himself I'd bet
a red apple it is all right
The sum which Mr.. Vanderbilt was
to pay Capt. George E. Stone, Of Gin
cinnati, for Maud S. was an even $20,-
coo. Before the mare. was delivered
Capt Stone is supposed to have rued
his bargain. Anyhow, he wrote to Mr.
Vanderbilt that he had promised to
give Bair the trainer of MaudS., 81 900
as a honorarium, and he thought Mr..
Vanderbilt ought to add this TO what
he. was to pay The presumption is
that Stone thought this marking up
of the price would break the bargain.
One Thousand dollars wasn't much for
a man like slr. Vanderbilt, but that
little ruse made him just as mad as if
it had faken the last cent he had on
earth. But he was something Of a
David Harum himself. and knew a good
piece of horsehesh when he saw it. and
when be sent Capt. Stone his check for
the mare it was for $4,000 instead Of
$4,000.
That's part of the story, but only
tbeleast interesting. Afterward. when
Capt. Stone headed syndicate to buy
Maud S. back from Mr. Vanderbilt, and
was willing to pay siooDoo for her, the
big railroad man still remembered the
$1,000 transaction, and the Cincinnati
people could not have bought the mare
If they had offered 81 100000 for her.
OF course. when Mr.. Vanderbilt sold
her to Robert Bonner for $4,000. when
he had been offered 100000. there. was
a good deal said about his desire to

ufacturers' Record is true

readable throughout. Undoubtedly the
country has reached q period i'm its
economic development when without
large investments of capital such as
only great combinations can afford,
the immense processes of modern
manufacture and commerce could not
be carried on successfully. No outcry
can turn the age back to the business
methods of fifty years ago. The So
called trust is here and here to stay
until something better takes it's place
and the practical problem is not how
to abolish, a thing impossible, but how
to regulate it ana keep it within the
limits OF public usefulness and pub
lie safety
Amidst the volume of suggestions
looking to control of the trusts that
has been poured forth in the public
discussions of the past few years we
recall none more directly to the point
than Theodore Roosevelt's proposition
to subject every one of these large
interpretations Of capital to a vigilant

After the luncheon had been served,
the party leaders went with the presi-

number OF informal conferences, but
the time was devoted almost wholly to
giving the visitors an opportunity to
become personally acquainted with the
president. While there was a consid-
cradle discussion of politics and future
policies, this was confined largely to
the members of the national commit
