HAVE NO JURISDICTION.
Act of Congress a Higher Authority
Than Treaties.
NO INTEREST IN THE CASE.

Ell Reno. o. T.. July 29--Arguments
of the application of Lone Wolf, and
other Indians for order enjoining
the federal government from opening
the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache re-
servations to settlement. were heard
before Judge c. F. Irwin, of the federal
supreme court Judge Irwin an
nounced that he would make his deci-
sion known this morning o'clock.
The drawing of homesteads is set to
begin at that hour at Ell Reno. Gov
ernment officials have already said that
opening. J. W. Scothorn, assistant
United States attorney, representing
the government, argued that the court
had jurisdiction to restrain exeen-
tive officers of :. the federal government
from proceeding under an act OF con-
gress. He argued further that a treaty
with the Indians had no more stand
ing than a treaty with a foreign ma
ton, and that the latter could be
broken at any time. Any law enacted
after the abrogation of the treaty
would, he contended, control in any
issue that might arise.
The injunction case attracted no at
tention. There were only a dozen per-
sons in the court room besides the at
torney. None of the Indians inter
ested in the injunction suit were pres
ent.

kansas Is Short.

Topeka, July 3o--The appropriations
for all purposes for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1902, aggregate 81, 61o, CAT,
and for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1903, So, Oee, SGT. The legislature also
placed a limit of So, 900, 900 a year upon
the boards levy which is not enough
to cover the appropriations made by
the legislature OF course there are
certain fees collected ty the various de-
partments of state which revert to the
general revenue at the close of the ifs
cal year. but these will not meet the
deficiency. The total amount of fees
for the fiscal year just closed approxi-
mate $275, 900. Tt is unlikely in view
of the crop shortage that the amour
will be larger for the ensuing year.
The aggregate assessed valuation of
property, returned by the various
counties was S344, 666, 24O, but this
amount has been raised by the equali-
zation board to 1868, l56, o45. The levy
of 50 mills upon the total assessed
valuation will raise amount which
nearly reaches the So, 900, 600 limit fixed
by the legislature.
