Lively Chase.

Lively Chase.
Washington. March 1O.-Gov-
ernor Barnes is giving his oppou.
ents a merry chase. During the
last twenty four hours the govern.
orship contest has undergone a
decided change.
Governor Barnes has forged to
the front rapidly, and although
Secretary Hitchcock is stubbornly
holding out against his appoint
ment, indications are that he NAV
succeed
The president is inclined to ap-
point him, and the only obstacle in
the governor way now, seems to
be the stubborn opposition of Sec.
retary Hitchcock.
Delegate Flynn telegraphed re-
questing postponement of the
appointment until he can arrive
here.
kilograms were sent him last
night by representative Curtis in
forming him of the situation and
stating that unless something was
done Barnes would be reappointed.
It is probable that the final ac-
ton will be postponed for several
days.
Barnes tonight is confident OF
success, though he declines to dis
cuss the situation in detail.
Last night Amos Ewing sent
kilograms to several friends in
Oklahoma instructing them to
wager various sums on Barnes
success. adding New York drafts
followed next mail One draft was
S25, 900.
Officials are very reticent in Civ
ing news in regard to the guberna-
torial contest.
There is a well defined rumor
this evening, though it cannot be
traced to any reliable source, that
Delegate Flynn and friends have
transferred their endorsement from
McNeal to jenkins, believing Jenk-
ins the only man who can defeat
Barnes.
For the last forty eight hours
kilograms have been pouring in on
the secretary of the interior and
the president, favorable to and
against the appointment of Barnes.
The contest is assuming an aggra-
waited stage, although Barnes
seems to have the best of the situ-
alton at present.

Freedmen OF the Cherokees Employ

Special to the Ardmorite.
Washington, ID. c., March 30.
Information has reached the in
terror department Of the appoint
ment by CHief Burlington of the
Cherokee nation, of l.. b Bell, }.
S. Davenport and w w. Hastings
as attorneys for the Cherokee ma
ton before the Dawes commission
in the preparation of the freedmen
roll of Cherokee citizens. 1t is
also announced that II. b. Kern
Of Missouri has been employed by
the freedmen to represent them
before the commission. This in
formation has created considerable
Of stir among the officials for,
it will be remembered, that at least
two of these gentlemen-R. b.
Kern and w. W. Hastings-were
directly implicated in the 100000
Cherokee freedmen scandal in
1896. Many of the citizens who
are now to have their claims passed
upon by the Dawes commission are
the same parties who secured en-
rollment through the operations of
Mr.. Kern and Mr.. Hastings dur
ing the revision of the Cherokee
freedmen roll, at which time
large sum of money, amounting TO
S400, 900, was secured through
that transaction, and at the same
time nearly 1000 negroes were
added to the freedmen roll of the
Cherokee nation. The department
officials are cognizant of this form.
er transaction and the fact that
Mr.. Kern and Mr.. Hastings re-
appear as representatives of the
two interests at this time has
aroused suspicion,
In addition to Mr.. Hastings, l..
b. Bell and j. S. Davenport have
been selected to represent the ma
ton. These latter two gentlemen,
while not directly implicated in the
former transaction, were members
OF the Cherokee Council which
passed the act authorizing the ex-
penditure of the money and fire.
quent charges have been made that
when they voted for the PROPOSE
ton they were cognizant of what
was to follow.
The proposition which now con-
fronts the department is as to how
it is to prevent the appointment of
attorneys designated by Chief
Burlington. Under the Curtis act
the secretary of the interior is
given authority to pass upon all
appointments, of this nature
made by the chief of the Cherokee
nation, and an appointment boy the
chief has no validity until ap.
proved by the secretary, Ii tran
spires, however, that last winter
the Cherokee Council passed an
act authorizing the appointment
of attorneys by the chief to repre-
sent the nation before the Dawes
commission in the freedmen cases
and also appropriated $1,000 for
payment for their services. That
act came to Washington, was ia
yorably Iecommended by Secretary
Hitchcock and received the ap.
proval OF the president. Now the
question arises as to whether or
not by that approval the depart
ment has not waived its superyis.

concerned. This question is now
under consideration, and even if
the department is compelled to
stretch its authority somewhat it
will endeayor to prevent the attor
neys designated by Chief Buffing
ton from serving in the capacity
Of representatives of the notion.
According TO a senate document
containing the official correspon-
dence OF the interior department
which was made public in 1897. it
appears that when the freedmen
transaction occurred in which Mr..
Kern and Mr.. Hastings were i'm
plicated the Cherokee council pass.
ed resolution providing for a
full and complete investigation of
the whole transaction, The investi
CATION was instituted, but before it
could be completed the term for
which the legislature was in ses-
sion expired. On the day preced-
ing adjournment the council pass
ed a joint resolution asking Chief
Mayes to reconvene in extraordin.
airy session for the purpose of com.
pleting the investigation. In re-
ply to this resolution Chief Mayes
sent message stating that he had
no further communications to ad.
dress TO the council and that he
believed the investigation which
had been proceeding could be car
ried ON more advantageously by a
committee which could be author
lied to sit during the vacation.
This ended the investigation so
far as the council was concerned,
and before the interior department
took the matter up the evidence
against the guilty parties had
been covered up.
The following is an exact copy
of the resolution passed by the
Cherokee council and sent to
Chief Burlington:
Whereas it is currently report
ed and generally believed that the
so-called compromise between the
attorneys of the Cherokee freedmen
and the executive department of
the Cherokee Nation and the sub.
sequent approval of the same by
the national council, was the ,e-
suit Of a conspiracy between the
attorneys of said freedmen and the
representatives of the Cherokee
Nation to rob the treasury Of
S4OO, 600, and to fix upon the
Cherokee people a population of
more than l,COO useless and de-
graded negroes to share their
lands;
And whereas it is proclaimed
throughout the length aud breadth
Of the land that the officials of the
nation shared in the spoils wrung
from the people by fraud and open
corruption, and the charges un-
challenged are used against us by
our enemies for the destruction of
our government, and the utter
ruin of our people;
And whereas Sl26,OOO of the
SiOO, 600 withdrawn from the
Cherokee Nation was for other
purposes than the payment of the
freedmen as contemplated by the
act Of the national council ratify.

And whereas the good name of
the national council is thereby
brought to shame and the officials
Of the Cherokee Nation are brand.
