tiles at Washington must treat this
place simply as prOtectorate of the
United States, allowing the people
the right to govern themselves under
that protection, or they must lay
down settled regulationsfo for the gov
eminent OF the islands, and make
ample financial provision for carry
ing out those regulations.
The inhabitants want to know
their real status concerning the
United States. Nominally, the islands
belong to the United States, but the
states do nothing and natives and
whites live in a quandary, not know
ing which way to move or turn for
fear of getting into trouble.
There has been delay in the pay
ment for lands taken by the United
States government for public pur-
poses, and also for arms and ammu-

try, building roads and making her
public improvements.

STONE AND CLARK SPEAK.
Rival Candidates for Senate Discuss
Silver Question at Paris.

Paris, Mo-, Sept. 21.-EX-Governor
WI. Stone and Congressman Champ
Clark, rival candidates for George
Graham Vests seat in the United
States senate, were the principal ora
tors at the Paris fair this afternoon.
About 5000 people were present
Governor Stone devoted the prin-
cipal part of his speech to the silver
question. He claimed to have been
misrepresentedi in the interview which
recently appeared in a StLouis even
ingpaper and vigorously denied that
he has expressed the opinion that the
ratio was of secondary Importance.
He claimed to be so much of a free
silver man that he would vote for a
bill at any ratio from Is to / to IT
to il necessary to open the minis to
the metal
Congressman Clark claimed that a
declaration for free silver without a
specific ratio would be a mere subter.
fuge and would convert the demo-
cratic platform into a mere trap. and
while it might win back a few thou
sand gold democrats it would lose
the party sixty thousand free silver
democratic and populist votes and
turn the state over TO the republi
cans.
Both speeches clearly indicated
that the silver question would be
kept to the front by both candidates
IN their campaign and that ex.Ciov,
ernor Stones position will be about
the same as the stand taken by Mr.
Clark

DANES COMMISSION May B? Abolished by Con- gress at the Present
 Session. A STRONG SENTIMENT FOR CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION
 INDIAN AFFAIRS. Senator Quarre!s Believes Five Civil ized Tribes Shoud Be Seen
 After by Bureau.
SOME LEGISLATION URGED

Washington, Dee. 1S.-The affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes of Indian territory was considered at a confer ence held at the interior department yesterday
 This subject was taken up with Secretary Hitchcock and Senators Quarles and Platt, of the senate h. dian committee, and Congressmen Sherman and Curtis, ef the core spending committee in the house.
 Members of the Indian committees in both houses were outspoken in as serting that a change in the admins tration of affairs of Indian territory should be made with the least possi- ble delay.
 Senator Quarles was particularly fereible in expressing himself on this point He made an extensive tour of the Indian reservations of the United States during the past summer, which included a visit to Indian territory He made an investigation of the methods of the Dawes comm ission and is in favor of abolishing the eGn1. mission and substituting in it's place bureau which shall administer the affairs Of the Five Civilized tribes.
 From present Indications it is quite likely that important legislation af- fecting matters in Indian territory vii be enacted during this session.
 Members of the Indian committees are vigorous in asserting that the rec ommendation of Secretary Hitchcock to increase the membership of the Dawes commission cannot be adopt ed. Propositions have been made from time to time during the past three or four years to diminish the number of commissioners, instead of increasing them.
 This idea finds favor in the houso and senate, and if Secretary Hitch cock can be induced to favor the idea the question of abolishins the com mission will be vigorously urged when congress reconvenes after tie holidays.

When Gov. Jeff Davis appeared at the opera house here last Saturday night, he experienced, perhaps, the biggest surprise yet met with in his series of Clarke speeches so far deliv- cred. He came cooked and primed to make the effort Of his life" at Rec tor home, no doubt with the view of frightening that gentleman out of en- teflng the gubernatorial race It was plainly evident that he expected an ovation from vast audience In an- tieipation of this, more than one hun dred chairs were placed upon the stage to increase the capacity of the auditorium which will seat about 300 persons. The result, however, was a painful frost. There were just 147 people present including the gover- nor himself, children, ladies and strangers. Of these there were not perhaps, more than fifty Democratic voters of the county in the house, the
 
 and Republicans drawn out through mere curiosity. Mayor Belding, al- ways obliging, and in this case desir- GUS of giving the governor a hearty reception, out of respect to his posi- tion il nothing else, felt keenly dsap- pointed.
