A few years ago the Cherokee
people would not consent to allut
ment, nor to any Of the over'ur ?
made by the Dawes commission.
They did not want TO change their
system Of government by giving
up their tribal autonomy. The
Dawes commission represented t.
congress that il the Indians would
consent they could soon wind up
the business. We are nov con.
fronted with the curious fact tina,
The Cherokees are more anxious
for settlement than the Dawts
commission is. A proposition
similar to the gresment now
pending would have been regard
ed as liberal, and furthermore,
would have been accepted gladly
by the government half a dozen
years ago.

fconclnded from Page oneO

While the disorder was going on
outside the two factions were fighting
Il out in the caucus room. The Hun

tlon. the McCurtain faction refrainine
from voting. This ticket was elected
John NJ. Hodge, speaker.
Logan Frazier. journalist.
Henry Alexander, recording secre
tary.
Solomon Nelson. doorkeeper.
A. Clay, interpreter.
A motion was made for an adjourn
ment and carried with e rush.
The McCurtain men remained in
session and elected Robert Ward from
Scullyville county speaker. and Willie
Cooper OF San Bois as journalist.
They remained in the room until az.
ter nightfall, ordering their suppers
brought to them, and refused 70 ad.
journ.
At late hour Governor Dukes en-
tered the caucus room and ordered
them TO retire and threatened to forci-
bly, eject them unless they yielded.
Seeing that Governor Dukes was In
earnest and that he was backed by
the United States marshal, they made
n motion TO adjourn TIL o'clock to-
day for the purpose OF electing a ser
geant-at-arms, which was carried.
The situation Is peculiar one.
The upper house (the senate) stands
z for McCurtain 70 5 for Hunter. The
lower house is II for Hunter and 9
for McCurtain.
The senate majority refuses to rec.
ognize the house majority and acts
with the minority which ties both
factions In Joint session.
So far II looks as II Hunter and
his adherents have gained a slight ad-
vantage over McCurtain. Governor
Dukes sympathy is known 10 be with
Hunter and should he deliver his an.
nual message to the Hunter faction Il
looks as II the secretary Of the inter
for will have 20 recognize Hunter as
the legal governor.
Governor Duke insists that his mes
sage must be delivered by Wednesday
at the latest.
