SCHOENEELT CALLED DOWN.
Judge Townsend Threatens the Agent
With the BastiIe.

The Kansas City Star prints a
special from Paul's Valley, under
date of 10 h, which says:
c A. Andrews, a local attorney,
who had refused to pay his per-
sonal tax. was being elected from
the Indian Territory by the Indian
police, notwithstanding that he
offered to pay his tax after the or
der TO eject ham had been received.
Andrews appealed to Judge Town
send. The policeman admitted
that Andrews had agreed to pay
the lax. hut the order of Agent
Schoenfelt was to eject him and it
had to be done, whereupon Judge
Townsend said: 81 don't care who
you have your authority from, il
the Indian agent or you interfere
with that man | will put you both
in jail." " Andrews paid his tax
and was permitted to remain in
the territory.

CHEROKEE TREATY MADE.

Chief Burlington, writing from
Washington, D. c., under date OF
17th inst, says the agreement Is
completed, and as soon as 1t can
be formulated into sections Will
be signed. 1t seems to be on the
line of the Greek treaty, but as to
its exact provisions we are unable
at this time to give definite infor-
nation. The chief will leave for
home the last part Of the week and
is expected to arrive here about
Sunday. The delegation will re-
main in Washington and urge the
treaty's ratification by congress.
The Chieftain will give the full
text Of the agreement as soon as 1t
cdh be obtained.

CREEKS ARE CARELESS.
Smallpox Uncomfortable in
FuIIbIood Districts.

Ten Greek Indians were taken
from Eufsula to a new pest camp
established four miles from town
last Saturday, all either afflicted
with smallpox or had been expos
ed. says the Muskogee Times.
DR.. Callahan, who has charge of
the disease, was in Eufsula Satur-
day. These people were discover
ed and taken to the camp at his
command. DR.. Callahan ordered
the postmaster to fumigate all mail
matter, and told the citizens of
Eufaula that if they did not take
care of these patients, that if they
permitted any more smallpox to
get a footing in their town be
would quarantine it 80 tighi that
iDgress or egress would be impos-
sible. The authorities promised
budb a AoucO W nOuoO OdhNooo
would be made at stated intervals
and that at the first appearance of
the disease the suspects would be
taken to the camp.
DR.. Callahan found in one house
eight niles west of Eufsula two
dead Creek Indians and eight
others afflicted with the disease.
Smallpox is raging out of town for
twenty miles. 1t is because the
Indians go from place to place
when they are afflicted or have
been exposed, and they have thus
spread the germs broadcast. The
situation is anything but encourag-
ing, and the approach of warm
weather is the only cOnsoling ele-
ment in the condition of affairs
down there with regard 20 the
loathsome disease.

NON-ClTIZEN COMPLAINT
TownSite Matters Discussed
at Washington.

Washington, DC, March IL
The subcommittee of the senate
committee on Indian affairs to in
vestigate the work of the townsite
boards in the Indian Territory
gave hearing today on the subject
There were present as asTepresenting
the non citizens of the Indian
Territory, Hon. NJ. Fureman,
Judge Stuart, Leo Bennett, Judge
Bradford and E. G. Toilet. Com
missioner of Indian affairs Jones
Maj. McKennan of the Dawes COM
mission, were also present.
The statements of the representa-
tives of the non citizen were taken.
They were to the effect that the
laying out of townsites in the terri
tory was proceeding so slowly that,
at the present rate of progress, the
work would not be completed for
twenty FIVE years. The dilatory
tactics of the boards now operating
in several Of the towns of the terri
tory were expstiated upon. Mr..
Toilet said there were about eighty
towns in the Cherokee nation and
about fifteen IN Greek Nation to be
laid out, and there ought to be
board for each town. Moreover,
he suggested that the town authori
ties ought to be allowed to make
their own surveys This would
hasten the appraisemet. If this
were done the work laying out the
townsites in the Indian Territory
could be completed, it was said by
January l.
Senator Jones suggest that an
amendment permitting the town
authorities to make their own sur
veys be added to the Indian ap-
preparation bill and intimated that
he himself would propose such an
amendment.
Maj. McKennon, of Dawes CON-
mission, corroborated everything
which was said by the representa-
of the on.citizens with regard to
the slowness wit h W h | h
the work of laying out townsites in
the territory has been proceeding.
Commissioner Jones said that
the chief reason why the laying
out of toWnsites was not being
hasten by the department was that
congress had not made sufficient
appropriation to carry on the work
on as extensive a scale as the non-
citizens would like to see. If more
money were allowed, more boards
could be appointed, and the work
would be sooner finished.

KETOOWAHS RETURNED.
Say Chief Burlington Has ReckOned
Without His Host.

The KeetoOwah delegation,
headed by Frank Boudinot, arriv-
ed in Muskogee Monday morning
and took the stage to Fort Gibson.
The Times gives the following
from one of the delegates:
1.-The commission appointed by
Chief Burlington will not have its
own way at Washington. Some
very pertinent and pointed ques-
tiOns are being propounded to
these gentlemen, and some very
peculiar conditions confront them.
The Ketoowahs can afford to wait,
because their claims are placed be-
fore the powers that be in a clear
and forcible manner and they will
not be ignored Chief Burlington
has reckoned without his host and
is hoist by his own petard. l can
confidently assert that the two
commissions will not get together
unless the claims of the fullbloods
are recognized and the conditions
modified so as to give them their
Just dues. 1t is extremely doubt
full if a treaty will be consumated
this year"

NEW LEGISLATION.
To Increase Membership Of
Dawes Commission.

An amendment 20 the In
dian appropriation bill will be Of
fered in the senate, increasing the
membership of the Dawes COM
mission by two, so as to facilitate
the work of allotment. This
amendment being new legislation,
will be subject to point of order.
If the point of order is made
against it separate bill providing
for the two new commissioners
will be introduced.
The Indian appropriation bill as
reported TO the senate today, was
gone over by Congressman Sher-
man, of the House committee on
Indian affairs, and Congressman
Cannon, of the House committee
on appropriations. There is no
doubt that the increase ofthe ap-
preparation for the Dawes commits
sion 10 500, 900, so as to enable
the work of allotment to be pushed
through in a year and a half, or
two years at the most, will be ap-
proved by the House. In addition
to the amendments TO the House
bill heretofore reported in these
dispatches, the senate bill contains
the following new provisions:
"For two additional clerks at
Union agency, $1,000. To pay all
expenses incident to the laying
out of townsites in the Indian Ter
ritory the sum of SCI, 900 was ap-
propristed In connection with
this appropriation it is provided
chat hereafter there shall be not
more than one commission for
each OF the Greek and Cherokee
nations, and each of the commIs.
sions for said nations shall coDsist
of one N smber, to be appointed by
the legislature of the tribe for
which said commission is to act,
who shall not be interested in
town property other than his
home, and one to be appointed by
the secretary of the interior, and
if the executive of the tribe fails
to appoint the member as afOre-
said, they may be selected and ap-
pointed by the secretary of the in
terror. In case the two members
of said commission fail to sgree as
to the market value of any lot or
the limit or extent of any town,
the secretary of the interior shall
appoint a third member, who is
not interested in town lots, and
who shall act with them to deter
mine the matter in dispute. The
agreement of any two of said men,
bers as to the matter in dispute
shall constitute a determination
thereof, subject TO the approval OF
secretary of the interior, and if no
two of said members are able to
agree the matter shall then be de-
termined by such secretary"

The present indication is that
there will be more miles of rail-

The proposed scheme to attach
the Indian Territory to the state

more agreeable to the average resi-
dent of the Cherokee nation than
the proposition to merge into Ok

true of the Greek and Choctaw ma
tions also.

The bill introduced in congress
providing for suit TO be brought in
the court of claims TO addjudicate
the rights Of adopted whites in the
Cherokee nation, was not dictated
by those white Cherokee citizens.
So far as the Cherokees and these
white people are concerned their
rights have been already determ-
ined by mutual agreement. The
average white citizen of the Che
rokee nation would be 10th to
bring suit against the CherOkees,
aud if the measure did provide for
outside and disinterested parties
bringing such suit, it would never
be brought. - The white citizens oi
the Cherokee nation would rather
relinouish whatever claims they
may have than cause delay in the
settlement Of tribal affairs. Such
a suit would only mean delay anC
painful litigation, and would re.
suit in only loss to the liiigants
Such legislation is not sought mol
wanted by the whites OF the Chero
KITE nation.
