INDIAN SCARE DYING Down.
Reports OF the Uprising Are Greatly
ExaggersIted.

Reports OF the Uprising sAre Greatly
ExaEgersIted.
Omaha. Jan. 27.-Gen. Lee last night
received a Geographic report from
Lieut.. Dixon. commanding the troop
Of cavalry sent to the scene Of the
Creek Indian troubles. He states that
he has not yet made a full investiga-
ton, but has learned enough to war;
rant his saying that the reports Of an
uprising have been greatly exaggerat-
ed. Thus far he has encountered no
Indians and from civilians he learns
there has been no violence on the part
of the Indians and he anticipates none.
The report of Lieut.. Dixon comes from
Henrietta, which place he reached
during the forenoon.
Has Been Greatly Exaggerated.
Wichita, Kan, Jan. 27.-Dispatches
from various points in the Indian Ter
ritory and along the Oklahoma border
show that the Indian scare has been
greatly exaggerated. There are some
who fear trouble and are preparing for
a brush with redskins, but those in
authority say that there is now no
danger. A telegram from Checotah.
Ind. T.. says:
III. G. Turner of Brush Hill, where
the Snake band of Indians are sup
posed to be in camp, was in Checotah
this morning and says there is no
truth in the report from Eaufaula Of
Indian uprisings. The Indians, he
says, who are supposed to be indulg-
ing in war dances are at work"
A special from South McAAester says
that the arrival Of the troops in the
territory and the prompt measures
taken by the government in the North
ern district to suppress the Snakes
have been reported to the Choctaw
faction and have had the effect Of
dampening enthusiasm.
Sheriff Asks for Troops.
Guthrie. Okla, Jan. q. Matters
seemed to have quieted yesterday
morning in the Indian scare along the
eastern border, but at moor the follow
ing telegram was received by the gov
ernor:
Situation along our border serious.
I cannot be responsible for the safety
Of our people unless militia is ordered
out at once.
William Tilghman, Sheriff."
At / o'clock the governor held a con-
%sultation over the telephone with Col.
Hoffman and Sheriff Tilghman at
Chandler, and they stated that many
depredations were being committed
over the line in the Creek reservation,
both by Nthe Indians and by outlaws,
but up to that time nobody had crossed
the line and there was M positive evil
dence of any intention to cross to CON-
nit any overt acts on this side of the
line. The governor advised that a
close watch be kept along the line and
advise sent him of any overt act
against citizens or property in Okla
homa, but until there was some at
tempt to cross the line or commit some
such act he did not feel that he would
be justified in ordering the national
guard to the scene.

AN EXTRA SESSION
cHIL1pP1NB LEGISLATION MAY
MAKE 1T NECESSARY.
Report Of the Philippine Commits
sion Sent to Congress with . Rec
omnendation From the President
: for Immediate Legislation-An
Extra Session Of Congress May Be
/. Necessary-Clvil Government Rec
commended, as War II Virtually
Over.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The report of
he Philippine commission was with a
recommendation by President McKin-
.ey for immediate legislation sent to
congress yesterday. This stimulated
the. effort to include the spooner bill
IN the emergency legislative program
Tor this session, even at the cost of an
extra session, which now seems prob
able.
Senator Lodge, chairman Of the Phil
lppine committee, has for some time
been anxious to take up this bill and
pass it, but there were so many other
things necessary to be done at this
session that the senate steering COM
mittee has thought it wiser to leave
this legislation off their program be-
cause Of the discussion it would pro-
yoke to delay all other legislation. The
report of the Philippine commission
Lays Considerable Stress
upon this proposed legislation. and
Judge Taft has urged its passage not
only in his report, but in cablegrams
to the secretary of al and letters to
Senator Lodge and others in congress.
Judge Taft has convinced the secre-
IdAy VI "dA dAO SAlG pANSAASAS AZ sAS
time has come for a change of form IN
dealing with the Filipinos. He says
that until such legislation is enacted
40 purely civil government can be es-
tablished, no public franchises of any
kind car be granted and n o investment:
of private capital in internal improve
ments is possible. All these things are
needed and Judge Taft and other men,
bers of the commission believe that the
time has come to change the military
government to a civil government.
They believe that the war is over and
that native police can better suppress
Existing Disturbances
If backed up by the presence Of the
army as an auxiliary force than by the
army alone acting under military or
ders. The report has brought the ad-
ministration and congress face to face
with the Philippine situation, and the
necessity of s%upplanting the military
government there with some form Of
civil government. The ordinary OBJ
jections to an extra session of con-
gress will not be allowed to stand In
the way Of this legislation. 1t will be
pressed upon congress by the admins
tration, and the steering committee OF
the senate will include it in the legis-
lative programme of this session with
out regard to the consequences. But
it is considered as practically impossi'
BILE to secure such legislation from
this congress without making neces-
sary an extra session of the Fifty
seventh congress, probably immediate
ly after March 4.

His Right to q Seat In the senate

Washington, Jan. CIV. A. Clark's
admission to the senate will be dis
puted. The prospect Of his reappear-
ance after the recent investigation OF
his former election by the. Montana
legislature has aroused pronounced an
tipathy among the Republican mem
bers to his admission. A motion will
be made when Mr.. Clark presents his
certificate Of election to refer It to the
committee on privileges and elections.
Clark is eligible to admission now in

vacancy caused by his resignation.
But he will doubtless bide his time SO

his chief adversary, Senator Chandler,
