Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Carter, chairman Of the public
lands committee has called a
meeting Of the committee for
Monday TO consider the Flynn
bin providing for the opening Of
the Kiowa, Comanche and
Wichita reservations.
An understanding has been
reached between Dir Flynn and
Mr Stephens Of Texas whereby
provisions will be inserted in the
bin which will obviate the runs
which have heretofore occurred
for allotment on reservations

A Washington special, dated
the 22d. says: After a protracted
conference between the Secretary
Of the Interior, Mr. Breckinridge,
Of the Dawes Commission, and
the attorney for the Chickasaw
and ChOctaw tribes Of Indians,
the supplemental agreement with
these Indians has finally been
disposed Of, and the treaty will
be sent to congress in q day OF
two. The treaty is complete
substitute for the first treaty
covering all points heretofore
agreed upon. The only amend
ments adopted we're in relation
to the provision giving the Dawes
Commission plenary power t
close the rolls and practically
ruling ont the secretary. Th'
agreement reached on this pom
provides for the closing of tn
rolls on Sept /, but allows fna

the appropriation hills have been
disposed Of. It is learned that
the committee in amending the
treaties has decided to report in
favor Of adopting in full the
townsite provision in last years
Indian appropriation bill. An
other change in the treaties is Of
a clerical nature providing for a
change Of dates as to the time
when the provisions Of the
treaties shall 90 into effect. It
was expected that the treaties
would be ratified at the last
session Of congress and the fact
that action has been deferred an-
til the present session has made
it necessary to decide upon new
dates as to the fuldllment Of
many of the conditions set forth
in the treaties. The most import
ant change, as heretofore outlin-
ed. is the repeal Of the mineral
leases made by a number Of per-
sons who secured authority from
the Cherokee Nation to develop
petrolem. 1t is confidently pre-
dicted that the repeal Of these
leases will lead to serious lega
complications.

An Unfortunate Shooting affair
at Lumpkin.

Mr.. Spivey; from Lumpkin, was in
the city today for the purpose OF hav-

were almost destroyed from gun shot
wound yesterday.
AS result of law suit between Mr..
Spivey and Mr.. ]. J. Burks, at Lump

which almost cost the former his eye
sight. 1t seems that Spivey was given
a Judgment against Burks and went
in person to collect it. AS there had
been bad blood between them before
he was not courteously received. Some
words were spoken and Burks picked
up Il shot gun nearby and fired into the
face of Spivey, though only few shot
lodged in his eyes. 1t is probable that
one eye is lost entirely, while the 9TH

The necessity for replantiug is wide

OF several weeks ago will have to be
done over again. The cool, wet spell
that prevailed during the first plant

If war is hell, the conditions produc-
ing the record of homicides in this
country are several times worse than
hell, for the New York Press tells us
that there are thirty murders day in
the United States, or nearly a thousand
a month, and fully as many in three
months and a half as there were men
killed in the Philippines on the Amer
lean side in two years and half.
The record of the different states
varies of course, the southern, western
and the states that have abolished cap
ital punishment showing up in the
worst light. Texas leads with l,021
murders year and Vermont stands at
the other end of the list with only six,
the latter having more than one-tenth
of the population of Texas but only
l-l70th of the number of murders.
There are other comparisons, but little
less unfavorable to the southern states.
Massachusetts, with population OF
100000. has ninety-six murders a
year. Alabama, with a population of
1928. 600, has 461. Connecticut has 908,
900 people and seventy-three murder
ers. Florida, with $4,000, has l57.
With little more than half the popu-
lation of Connecticut it has more than
twice as many murders. Maine. New
Hampshire and Rhode Island have To-
