resentatiyes of the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations. This agree
ment. as so negotiated, is subject
to serious objections in several
particulars, and if approved in the
form negotiated would seriously
embarross and retard the allotment
of lands and the adjustment of the
relations of the Choctaw and
Chickasaw tribes. Because of
this a conference has been had be-
tween representatives of this de-
partment, a member OF the Dawes
commission, and a representative
OF the two tribes, with view to
perfecting the agreement as ne
gotiated and avoiding the embar-
rassment and delay which would
be caused by its ratification.
AS result of this conference
an amended agreement has been
prepared, which meets my approx
al and the approval Of those par
ticipating in the conference, except
that the representative of the two
tribes does not assent to the change
made in article 8. This article as
originally negotiated is subject to
the objection that by a Legislative
act large number of judgments
of courts are. in effect, reviewed
and declared invalid. Whether
these judgments are valid or in
valid is a judicial rather than a
Legislative question, and cannot be
committed to or passed upon by
the Legislative branch of the gov
ernment. To ratify this article as
originally negotiated would simply
increase the confusion which now
exists respecting these judgments,
by adding the additional question
growing out of the doubtful as
sumption Of legislative power over
past judicial proceedings, and
would invite a multiplicity of suits
on the part of those who have OBJ
tanned judgments at the hands of
the courts and who would be dis
possessed of them without an OPP
portunity to be heard. Believing
that the questions affecting the
validity and rectitude of these
judgments deserve judicial inyesti-
CATION and scrutiny, article s has
been rewritten, as shown in the
amended draft of the agreement,
so as to provide for fair, speedy.
and final decision of these ques-
tons by judicial tribunals.
Experience has demonstrated
that the Atoka agreement, ratified
by the act of June 2S, 1898, is
faulty and does not work with sat
isfaction to the Indians or to the
public. There is pressing reason
for supplementing it by new and
further agreement. Unless this is
done the work of the Dawes com
mission. as to these two tribes,
must necessarily either be suspend
ed for the time being or be attend
ed with a degree of uncertainty
which ought not to obtain in the
administration of a law affecting
many private and public interests.
Il believe that the agreement of
February Z, 1901, as amended as
the result of the conference here
named, will fully and effectually
remove the difficulties which have
heretofore attended the administra-
ton and execution of the Atoka
agreement, and | earnestly and re-
spectfully recommend that such
amended agreement "a copy of
which is herewith transmitted) be
ratified by congress"

the twenty-four hours the inhalations
should be frequent. The effect is to

but for the ruff" Several years ago
In Philadelphia, Mrs. Toumlim was
seen to stop a ruff" begun by her
partner. lead a trump. and bring in
her suit with gain OF several tricks
over the table where the cross ruff
was sustained.
The same thing happened last spring
in the preliminaries for the Cowles cup
where one pair made sham by get
ting out the trumps and leading the
partners suit, while at another table
as low as five tricks were made by a
pair Of short-suit players who could
see nothing better to play for than the
ruff" Curiously enough the pair
making the sham entered the finals on
what they had gained in that one deal,
and finally won the cup.
When great trump strength has been
declared against you the opportunity
is often sought to force the partner
OF course this is done on the theory
that if the enemy holds most of the
trumps your partner ID weak in all
probability. The inference is fair
one, and the rule will be found to hold
SOOu ia Alduy CdsCS, NUT d ilItlC tcANd-
laticn will demonstrate clearly that if
you are weak the mere indication that
one adversary is strong does not OF
necessity imply that your partner is
weak There are thirteen trumps. Sup
pose the enemy holds five and you have
one. Seven are abroad somewhere and
your partner may hold enough Of them
to control the hand if he is not forced.
Frequently there is some other indi-
cation that may be taken as guide
in a case of this kind, but the advice
is strongly urged to be cautious in the
extreme in administering the force. 1t
is apt to prove even more disastrous
than when the adversaries are weak,
for you may leave them in possession
of the field, having rendered your part
ner's strong trump hand unable to cope
with the now stronger trump hand of
the enemy.
If one has been forbidden to force
ones partner when weak in trumps,
the opposite rule, you may force your
partner when strong in trumps," seems
a logical sequence of the system. The
rule, however, is subject to many ex-
ceptions. Ordinarily it is better play
to lead trumps if your partner has
shown four or if your partners de-
clared suit needs protection. postpon-
ing the force until later in the hand.
1t can then be given without danger
of overtrumping or may even have been
rendered unnecessary by reason OF the
discards that have been secured
The trump that the partner holds be-
cause it has not been forced out of his
hand is frequently the only means Of
re-entry he has to enable him to make
his established suit.
Very often a better play than the
force" is to lead Strengthening card
of the partners suit; for it must be re-
membered that, after the force" has

been administered, your partner must
lead, and lead to your weakness may
prove disastrous. Many players are so
blind to all save the charm of 'ruffing'
that they are unable to see when there
is another better line of play. Suppose
your partner trumps suit and leads
his own, the queen, for instance, mean
ing to show that he has three honors
in the suit. The king falls from sec
ond hand; you hold the ace and one
small card, and win with the ace You
have great trump strength, enough to
exhaust the trumps, and you have the
losing cards of the suit that your part
ner can trump. Unless you can depend
with certainty on your partners lead
ing trump after you have "ruffed"
him, it would be the greatest folly to
make this play. If he should lead an
other round of his suit, it is placed be-
yond your power to help him bring
that suit in. How much better to draw
the trumps and discard your losing
cards on his suit. This is not only the
winning game, but one that shows far
more intelligence.
Another feature of "ruffing" the part
ner that is rarely considered is, that
it will oftimes give the enemy the
benefit of an advantageous discard
The profits derived from "rufing'' are
often more than counter-balanced by
Judicious discarding. c. D. P. Hamil-
ton, who is perhaps more quoted than
amy other author, speaking of the
force, says:
AT best the forcing game is poor
one. 1t is cheap way of making
tricks. There are comparatively few
hands where the best play-the play
which will make the most tricks-ren-
ders it necessary to deliberately force
your partner. Playing for ruff or
a 'cross-ruff' is cheap whist, and very
often results in loss, even when the
ruff is established. IN. Y. Evening

Don't Force Yeur Partner

A time-honored rule in whist is,
do not force your partner If you are
weak in trlmps." This is a safe prin-
ciple for the beginner as we'll as the
moderate player TO follow, but there
are many times when tricks may be
gained by following the opposite
course. For instance, although 7ou
yourself are weak in trumps, your
partner has shown desire to be forced
He may have done this by trumping a
doubtful trick or by having refueei to
dead the trump to your established
suit He may have returned the last
card he holds of your suit without
leading trugnps or showing his own
suit. Perhaps he has deliberately
forced an adversary or refrained from
forcing his partner Any of these STRAIT
egies on his part would serve to indi-
cate that ne is weak in trumps. and
you may force him if you deem it ad-
visable to do So
There is one opportunity to force the
partner where the greatest care should
he observed. Perhaps there is no
greater temptation at whist than to
seize the chance of establishing cross
ruff, and many even good players will
hesitate to accept the fact that this is
often the most expensive play for the
hand. The ruff may last just long
enough to weaken yours and your part
ners strong trump hands when the
enemy will draw your remaining
trumps, and make cards at the end of
the game which would have been dead
