Conference with the Creeks.

Washington, Feb. A conference
committee of the senate and the house
met Chief Porter of the Creek nation
and discussed points in their treaty.
Among points taken up were the pro-
posed provision for Creeks to get title
at once, through the courts, to their
allotments, instead of waiting the 25
years provided in the treaty; demand
for larger allotments; both of which
were decided to be unfit subjects to
go into the treaty, but assurances were
given the Creeks that bill might be
passed by congress covering these
points. The mineral leases were dis
cussed but no action was reached
thereon. An agreement on the Creek
treaty will, however, probably be
speedily arrived at.

Emperor Williams appointment as
field marshal of the British army. The

in order to assume a predominating
position in the Balkans, Asia Minor
and the far east"

Against Proofs Crime.
ASK THAT He BE EXPELLED.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Proceedings
are commenced against Delegate Will
cox of Hawaii, by petitions present
ed in the house, charging him with
treason. number of letters written
by Wilcox to Filipino leaders are pre-

letters he sends word to Aguinaldo
offering his services as an artillery
officer, "to Aguinaldo against the in
vaders-the hypocrital Yankees-the
carpet-bag politician OTIS" and other
like matter occurring in all the letters
1t is also alleged in the petitions that
"Wilcox in his speeches prior to the
election made use of the strongest kind
of anti-American utterances for the
purpose of carrying the election, tell
ing the native Hawaiians that the
Americans had stolen their country
and that vote for him was vote for
the restoration of the queen, and that
il he were elected the queen would be
restored; that Wilcox was and is
guilty of treason against the United
States in that he did, as petitioner is
informed and believes, since the an
nexation of said Hawaiian Islands,
write and send through the United
States mails certain letters highly
reasonable in their nature, wherein
he did counsel and incite others to
engage in open rebellion against the
United States, and did offer his SER
vices to General Aguinaldo to go to the
Philippine Islands and fight and en-
gage in open rebellion against the
United States"
The petitions conclude with "That
snid Wilcox should be unseated and
expelled because of having written
and uttered reasonable language
against the United States within the
two years last past"

La Grippe is epidemic catarrh-lt
spares no class or nationality. The cul-
tured and the ignorant, the aristocrat
and the pauper. The masses and the
classes are alike subject to la grippe.

the grip got you? Grip is we'll named
The original French term, la grippe
has been shortened by the busy Amer
