Washington, ID. O. Nov. "a
An effort will made during the
coming session Of congress to
straighten out some Of the tangles
in The laws which have beeE enact
ed, and the rules which haze been
promulgated by the interior depart.
ment relating to the government
of the Eve civilized nations ia the
Indian Territory. BY reason of
the cnaetment OF laws by congress
which are susceptible to different
interproti ton, and the issuance Of
conflicting orders from time to
time by the interior department, a
condition bordering on chaos exists
in four Of the five nations in the
territory. 1t is the intention OF
the commissioner OF Indian affairs
to secure some legislation this win.
ter which will give to the people OF
the territory a uniform system of
laws and thus relieve them from
the endless embarrassments to
which they are now subjected.
How far this change will extend
is problematical, but it seems as
though very little can be accom-
plished In the way of legislation on
only one or more subjects without
taking in the territory as whole
and carefully considering all she
laws relating to IT. AS the coming
session congress will last but three
months there would not be sufil-
eient time TO formulate and pass a
measure of this magnitude. But
the complications which have
arisen in the territory during the
last year, particularly with relation
to the enforcement OF the laws,
have been so veNatious that it is
believed the whole subject will be
handled in thorough and com
prehensiye DILL at the next session.

ratification by the senate during
the three months In which 1t will
be in session seems exceedingly
doubtful.
In addition to the opposition to
these treaties there is disposition
among certain members OF the
senate who have been given care
ful consideration to Indian Terri
tory affairs to insist on the en-
foTcement of the Curtis act in its
entirety and to defeat the treaties
pending. 1t is pointed out that
each additional treaty enacted
with the nations providing for tie
continuace of their tribal forms
of government only results In
additional complications and the
raising of yexatious legal qnes-
tions. For this reason many be-
lieve that the people of the Ter
ritorv, whites and Indians alike,
wonld be better off with the
enactment of uniform law apply
ing equally alike to all the ma
tions, than under the operations
of separate treaty agreements.
The following bills relating to
the Indian Territory have been
favorably reported by the com
mittees on Indian affairs of the
house and senate and now on the
calendars awaiting action. The
probs bilities are that the majority
of them will become laws before
the adjournment of congress:
A joint resolution suspending
proceedings ia the courts of the
Indian Territory and before
Indian agents pending the enact
ment of Legislation now before
congress, wherein the possessory
rights of said agents are in
volved.
A bill to authorize the town of
Miami to issue bonds and for 9TH

Indians ia the Territory who de.

An attempt will be made ss
soon as congress con venes to draft
a bill which will eliminate the pre-
sent complications arising over the
enforcement of the tribal taxes. 1t
is admitted by those who have
given the subject careful considera-
tion that is surrouned by so many
legal difficulties that the only way
by which these complications can
be removed is by the passage OF a
law by congress repeating the
tribal taxes, But even here a
serious situation confronts the adj
vocates OF this proposition. Con.
gress has guaranteed.to theChoctaw,
Chickasaw and Seminole nations
the continuance OF their tribal
forms OF government for term of
years and the right TO enact laws
for the collection of revenues for
the maintenance of their private
institutions The levying of taxes
on merchants doing business in
the nations is one OF their modes of
raising revenue and it is doubtful
whether congress legally has the
power to arbitrarily say to those
nations, without their consent, by
the enactment Of law, "You shall
not impose a tax upon the mer-
chants transacting business in
your own country"
Those. who have carefully
studied the question believe that
il would be almost impossible for
congress to strengi hen the laws
now on the statute books with
relation TO the collection of taxes
on foreigners transacting busI-
ness Oh the lands of an Indian
tribe. Yet il has been discover
ed that through the courts in
Indian Territory the collection OF
taxes levied under tribal laws can
either not be collected or inded
nitely postponed. Chairman Sher
man of the committee on Indian
affairs Of the house, and Repre-
sentative Curtis, the second rank
ing member on the committee
will take up this question the lat
Ter part ofthe week and endeavoI
to formulate q bill which will
meet the requirements of the situ
alton.
Further efforts will be made al

ratification of the Greek and

The reception o Paul Kruger
on the continent bears out pre-
cisely the parallel of his visit
there aud that of Louis Kossnth
to England and America. Even
by the populace he is treated as
an exile whose cause is lost,
whom the most friendly govern
ments cannot aid and whom pop
ular sympathy can orly console.
By the manner of this reception
the pro-Boer people of Europe ac-
cept the end of the war in South
Africa and the annexation of the
two republics TO Great Britain as
definitely as pro-Boer govern
ments have accepted it. BY
friends and foes like he is treated
as one whose course is run and

end of an undertaking like his, as
it was the end of Kossuth's.

Something new has arisen in this
busy world Of clubs. The New York
State Federation has passed a resolution
requiring each Of it's two hundred and
four federated clubs to give up one az
ternoon each year to the study Of feder-
alton work, thus compelling sufficient
attention to the state work to enlist an
intelligent intert at in the state fedora
tion and to give the members person
al knowledge Of the work OF the execu-
tive council. This is a wise move, for
personal knowledge will add greatly to
the interest taken by club women in
