The attitude Of the President TO-
ward Cuba has been made plain re-
Gently. One OF several senator's who
called on him the other day remark
ed: "Thc flag must neve be pulled
down in Cuba" The President at
once replied: "Indeed, it must.
Just as soon as the Cubans are ready
to attend to their own affairs we must
turn their government owe to them"
This is by no means q new attitude on
the part of the President, either, as
reference to his message sent to this
congress at its opening session in
December, 1899, will show.

SIGNIFICANT,

At a meeting of Methodist
preachers in New York, when
the subject of prohibition
was under discussion, DR.. r.
M. Buckley denied the right
of the church to dictate his
vote and added:
''Today whiskey is being
injected into the body of the
President of the United
States with hot water and a
raw egg. There are, you see,
people who still think that
stimulants are valuable"
what fools these mortals
be" can be applied to the best
people occasionally. When
the President of the Buffalo
Exposition made use of the
following sentence, he evil

Maker and was looking for
another god:
Goods contribution to the
American people will be the

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY.

All good people will rejoice
if President Mckinley recov-
ers, and every honest man
should feel it a duty to exter-
inmate if possible the grow
ing anarchistic sentiment in
this country.
The man who shot Presi-
dent Mckinley says he want

the man, which fact gives us
a problem likely to prove of
more than ordinary interest,
and result, we hope, in arous.
ing more caution as to our re-
lation with an Objectionable

In this article we cannot
deal with remedies necessary
to kill out anarchy, believing
as we do, that there are many
influences at work tending to
the removal of governmental
foundations and putting in
their stead a sentiment which
means disorder, confusion
and outlawry.
Czolgosz was not alone in
his attempt to take the life of
the PRESIDENT; plans to that
effect have been maturing for
some time, and the latest dis
patches tell us that Herr
Most, the famous apostle of
anarchy, had been arrested
for publishing anarchistic ed

It may be that anarchy will
have to be dealt with like the
once organized Malta in New
Orleans, La, and certainly the
life of our government is Sc

AUDIENCE A UNIT
For Union With Oklahoma, But
Several OF the Speakers Show
ed Marked Evidences of
Statehood Frighl. and
Theorized.

The addresses delivered at the
mass meeting, at the opera house,
Saturday night were essentially
negative in the most instances,
and were. as a consequence dlsap-
pointing TO the majority OF the
hearers.
There were several finished ex-
hibitions of rhetorical side step
ping of the issue under discussion,
but woeful lack OF aggressive
graphing with the subject.
The audience was manitestly a
unit for statehood. AMI through
several impromptu addresses
showed in no uncertain way where
it's sympathies rested. These were
refreshing in their assertiveness,
and were in sharp contrast to the
suggestive suppositions and eva-
siye equivocaiions Of several ci
those who proceeded them.
Hon. G. X. Breckenridge, Of the
Dawes Commission, was the first
speaker introduced by Chairman
j. b. Turner. and the silver
tongued Arkansan was warmly
welcomed by the large audience.
With pleasing, graceful address
Mr.. Breckenridge reviewed condi-
tions in the territory, touched in
well rounded periods on Oklaho-
mas political status, drew a we'll
worded picture Of the probable diff
ficulties of absolute self govern
ment, and concluded with sdvo.
eating a preliminary dose Of terri
ritorial government. >The speaker
had prefaced his remarks with the
announcement that his address
would be largely suggestive. aud
with all the skill of the accom-
plished diplomat that he is, be
confined himself etrictly TO sug-
gestons, and AZ no time trespassed
in the territory Of assertion. The
address was pleasing in its deliv-
cry, but there were many present
who would have welcomed a d.
rect treatment Of the subject from
the illustrious speaker.
Attorney Edgar Smith followed
Mr.. Breckenridge in a short ad-
dress in which he displayed the
taxation bugaboo to bis hearers
and counselled care in doing any
thing towards a change Of govern
ment. He opposed union with
Oklahoma but side stepped the
offering of a substitution.
d. w. c. Duncan then occupied
the center Of the Stage long enough
to request justice for the indians,
whatever form o. government was
obtained.
The fret declaration for state
hood was made by Preston s.
Davis, who found a respondent
chord in his audience on his first
vigorous remark in regard to ac-
ceptipg the inevitable and getting
close to the band wagon.

WILL OPEN COURTS
To Hearing of Freedmen Cases
and Allow Attorneys for Cher
okee Nation 10 Disclose
The Ring of Black
PeIjurers

The decision ofJudge Gill, hand
ed down at Muskogee Saturday, in
which he asserts jurisdiction over
the Dawes Commission, IL accept
ed by those conversant with the
modus opersndi employed by the
fraudulent freedmen claimants as
the entering wedge that will ulti-
mately result in the eradication of
every perjury bought name from
the rolls. 1t will open the courts
to the Cherokee nation, for the
hearing of the claims, and will cast
the shadow Of the peniten,iary
close to the witness stand.
That this is fully recognized by
the freedmen themselves, is evi
deneed by the CONSERVATION that
reigus amongst them since the rul-
ing Of the court became known
The full text OF the important
opinion is as follows:
"This action is brought for the
purpose of restraining the Dawes
commission and lis members from
receiving considering and making
a record of applications OF certain
persons claiming to be entitled to
enrolment as Cherokee Freedmen,
and alleging that said commission
is proceeding in violation Of law to
receive, consider and make record
of the applications of persons not
contemplated by the decree of the
court OF claims, known as the
"Whiimire Decree" made and
entered by the court Of claims on
the 3rd day of February, 1896.
The plaintiffs allege that as to
certain persons named therein that
such persons are not citizens of the
Cherokee nation nor entitled to be
enrolled as such. nor entitled TO
share in any way in the allotment
OF the lands Of the Cherokee ma.
tion, and that such commission.

trary to law, and without being
governed by the roll known as the
wallace Roll OF 1850, we're pass
upon the applications OF persons

decree or appearing upon said roll
originally, or as descendants OF
persons upon said roll and that
said commission we're proceeding
to receive, consider and make a
record Of applications, being inter-
married citizens OF Cherokee Freed
men who were never in any way,
by law or otherwise, recognized as
Cherokee Freedmen or citizens.
That the said commission is with
out jurisdiction and authority to
hear and determine such applica-
tions, and that such actions on the
part of said commission were, and
are, wholly without warrant of
law, and that such commission

pose to continue to receive, con-
slider and make a record Of appli-
cations Of persons not on said roll

of 1880, and persons intermarried
with Cherokee Freedmen, and
that great and irreparable injury
will thereby result to the COM
plainant, and to all members of
the Cherokee tribe of Indians IN
this; that such unauthorized per-
sons would be permitted to share
equally with the citizens of the
said nation, in the allotment Of the
lands OF said nation and in the dis
tribution Of the moneys and other
property of said nation, and that
the orators are wholly without
remedy at law, and that a great
wrong and irreparable injury will
result to the orators and to oil
members of the Cherokee tribe Of
Indians in the diminut.on of the
prospective allotments Of land, and
of the respective ehares Of the
money and other property of such
tribe Of Indians, and praying that
an injunction. be granted restrain
ing and enjoining said commits
sion in the matter of hearing and
determining applications made by
persons except in strict compli-
ance with the said decree of the
Court Of Claims Of the United

such acts of said commission, and
other and further relief, and pray
ing further that the names of free
colored persons not entitled to cit
izenship in the Cherokee nation,
which have been enrolled By re-
sponcents as such citizens, be
stricken from the rolls of citizen
ship of said nation.
To this complaint the respond
ents have appeared and FIRST move
to strike the Cherokee nation as

by the court allowed and sustained,
and the Cherokee nation is order
ed stricken from this action as sn

the Philadelphia banker and war
financier, is critically i'll at his sum-
mer home on Gibraltar near Put In
bay Mr.. Cook went to Gibraltar a
few days ago for bass fishing and
was apparently in robust health de-
spite his 80 years. His servants who
had been accustomed to call him
early, this morning found him in an
unconscious condition. A physician
who was summoned says the trouble
is congestion of the brain and there
is hope of his recovery, he having
regained consciousness this evening.
He is a national character, having
become famous for negotiating war
loans in the sixties.

fair and correct manner in which they
mad described the incidents of West

after careful investigation today:

it probable that an attack such as he
described actually occurred. When

were kept there two hours and
thought that was hard service.
Il told him that at first they were
kept there two hours, but that the
time had been shortened.
"He asked if there were other
guards.
II told him there were several on
the hill, over the vault, and at other
places.
"The second man said he did not
see the use of all this fuss, that no
one would try to do any harm.
"The third man said he was mis-
taken, that there were lots of people
who would like to see the whole thing
blown up.
"No, had not then, nor have I
now, any suspicion that any Of these
men would have any interest in, or
would sympathize with any act Of
violence. l think they were speaking
of the disposition of other classes
who might be prompted to such acts"
The usual guard and patrol was on
duty today. Last night after the
story of Private Deprend the guard
was increased by the addition Of ten
men.
Lieutenant Ware arrived from Fort
Wayne today and relieved
Lieutenant Avery who went back tc
the fort.
The Guards Story.
Private Deprend was on guard duty
on top of the vault at a point COM
manding the entrance below and the
approach of the rear. Shortly before
| 1880 he saw what he took to be a
| face peering from behind a tree about
| 40 feet from his post. He watched
it for 20 minutes, he says, and at
7:45 saw man hurry to tree 10
| feet nearer. He challenged the man
to halt, but this was not needed and
the fellow approached nearer.
Deprend leveled his gun and aimed
to shoot for effect, but ju5i at that in
stant another man who came towards
him from the opposite side caught
the gun, threw it up and the bullet
was spent in the air. This same man
struck Deprend on the right side Of
the abdomen with knife or other
sharp weapon, cutting an L-shaped
cash in his overcoat, an inch and a
half long each way, and smaller one
in the blouse. The flesh was not
broken, but was bruised under the
clothes. Deprend in the struggle fell
and rolled down the side of the vault

The Injurious Long Skirt.

A German professor brings new
count into the indictment against long
dress skirts, says an exchange. He con-
dennis them as a frequent promoter OF
neuralgia pains brought on by a con-
slant holding up of the dress. The height
of stupid folly is reached by wearers OF
these skirts when the silken petucoat be-
meath is also allowed to train. The
fashion is suitable only for reception
gowns when carriages are used. The
thoroughly modish woman never thinks
of wearing them on her shopping or walk
ing TRIMS. To see delicate silk petl.
coat trailing on the pavement, a heavy
cloth skirt held tightly arourg it little
above the ankles, is a common and most
irritating sight.
