cisive victory tonight at the confer

House OF Representatives, the propo-
sition of Chairman Payne of the Ways
and Means Committee for a 20 per
cent reduction of duty, with the Sibley
amendment, limiting the duration of
the reduced rates to December !, 1903,
being adopted by vote of So ayes to
81 noes. This result was reached at
1880 o'clock by a series Of exciting
rollcalls.
The first test was when Payne con-
cluded the speechmaking with a mo-
ton for the previous question on all
pending propositions. This motion
prevailed as to SO. A vote was then
taken on a substitute offered by Rep
resentative Dick of Ohio, in behalf of
those opposing the reciprocity plan,
offering in its stead a plan of direct

years. This was defeated. 81 to 20.

Cherokee Treaty.

BengS Is the Only Living Signer of the
Cherokee Treaty.
FoRT GIBSON: Samuel Houston
Benge, the only living person who par
ticipated in the Cherokee treaty of 1866,
is residing here. The Cherokees fought
with the confederacy during the civil
war, and it was throught the treaty of
1866 that the tribe regained its former
standing with the federal government.
Benge was born in Georgia in 1882 and
came to the Indian territory in 1888.
He lived for many years in Sequoyah
district, Cherokee nation, where he was
friend and neighbor of Sequoyah, the
inventor of the Cherokee alphabet,
Benge has fund of interesting remin-
iscences of Sequoyan. Unlike his peo-
pie, Benge supported the union and was
an officer in the federal army. With
the exception of chief justice, he has
held every Office in the gift of the Cher
okees. At Muskogee he made the first
republican speech in the Indian territory

Chief huntington Goes to Washington In

Chief Burlington Goes to Washington In
Behalf of Starving Indians.
VINITA: Il. NJ Burlington, principal
chief of the Cherokee nation, has gone
to Washington in the interest of the
full-blood Cherokee Indians, who are
struggling against starvation in the
hills of Delaware, Saline, Flint Going
snake and Tahlequah districts The
chief will personally request the secre-
tary of the interior to allow the pay
mcnt from royalties for relief purposes
There is approximately 100000 in the
subtreasury of the United States at St.
Louis to the credit of the Cherokee ma
tion, and with the consent of the de-
pratment of the interior this money
would be Immediately available,
The suffering among the full ll-bloods
whose crops Were destroyed by the
drouth last summer, has become so
acute that several communities have
instituted relief measures, pending the
necessary delays on account of pay
ments through tribal funds. They will
investigate the cases of destitution in
the territory contiguous to them and
give all temporary relief within their
own districts. In the event that Chiei
Burlington fails in his mission at Wash
ington the collection of relief fnnd
will be inaugurated all over the Chero-
kee nation.

TURNED DOWN
It Was a Captains Victory, Says the
President In the Schley Matter.
CREDIT OF VICTORY GOES TO SAMPSON

Alleged summary of the Presidents De
Responsibility ct the Engagement
Controversy Relieved to Use Ended.
CmcAGo: A Washington special to
the Record Herald says 1T was a
captains battle and the credit for the
victory first belongs to Admiral Samp-
son. who planned and bore the rcspon-
sibility of the engagement, and next to
Admiral Schley and other officers of
feet, who handled the ships and the
guns Admiral Sampson was not pres
ent at the battle, but no other officer
assumed command or directed the
American forces, beyond maneuvering
the ships on which he stood, and there
fore the credit must be apportioned nc
cording to the rank and the responsible
ity of the officers engaged. Commodore
Schley's part in the battle was confined
to the operations of the Brooklyn, and
this was creditable part, except the
loop of that ship, which was n mistake
Commodore Schley's mistake while in
independent command of the flying
squadron IN May, such as the dilatory
operations, the retrograde movement,
the disobedience of orders and the sin
accurate and misleading reports" has
been condoned by President McKinley's
administration and need not be review
ed or revived, though there is no reason
for reversing the court of inquiry CON
cerning them"
The foregoing is an accurate summary
Of President Roosevelt's Judgment on
the Schley case on the battle of Sant-
ago in response to an appeal of Admiral
Schley from the findings of the naval
court of inquiry. The presidents con-
clusions in the celebrated case are near
ly ready for publication and will be
given to the press in two or three days.
The president thought he had finished
his task, but as result of a conference
with the leaders of congress he has de-
cided to make few changes in the text
which will delay the communication II
