INDIAN GOVERNMENT A FARCE.
Prominent choctaw Scores Secretary
 Hitchcock at Public Meeting.

Atilla, I. T., March 1S.-A convention met here today in which full blood h. dians and intermarried citizens partici- pated. It was called to devise means to protect the property and rights of the Chickasaws and Choctaws, which the Indians assert, are not protected by the United States government.
 Chairman A. Telle, a prominent Choc- taw, addressed the convention. He said the Indian government was farce and had no power; scored Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock for cutting royalty on the tribes coal and declared the plan to sell coal and asphalt mines, which were producing enormous revenues in royalties, was an outrage and should be Investigated. He said the rolls should be closed and lands allotted but he bit terly opposed a rider to the appropriation bill which limits the holding of land to 320 acres. The method of forcing Indians to enroll was denounced by the speaker. A resolution endorsing the Moon bill was passed.

ATTACKS FLORENCE
 BURNS CHARACTER
FATHER OF DEAD MAN SAYS SHE DEMANDED THAT HIS SON MARRY HER AND WAS ORDERED FROM HOME.

New York, March 1S-The hearing in the case of Florence Burns accused of the murder of Walter S. Brooks, was con- tinued today before Justice Mayer Brooks died in hospital to which he was taken after being found unconscious in a room of the Glen Island hotel with a bullet in his head. The first witness today was the father of the dead man. MT. Brooks said on December he heard Florence Burns say to his son: What are you going to do? Are you going to marry me. My mon- ey is soon gone and do not know what to do." His son, the witness testified, ad- vised the girl to find employment, and said he would aid her to get work.
 Brooks said he told Miss Burns that his son should not marry her, and he told her she must go home; that he would not let her remain in his house. The witness identified a womans comb found in the room occupied by his son at the hotel.
 Several detectives testified as to. the con- dust of Miss Burns after her arrest ana answers made by her in reply to ques- tions concerning the case.
 Justice Mayer said that he was inclined to the view that the alleged conversa- tions with Miss Burns after her arrest were inadmissable under the law. The justice said he would hear arguments on this point by, counsel. The hearing was then adjourned until Saturday.

ANTHRACITE MEN
 HOLD CONVENTION
THE MOST IMPORTANT MEETING SINCE THE MEMORABLE STRIKE OF 1eoo-ovER 600 DELEGATES FROM THOSE DISTRICTS.

Shamokin, Pa., March 1S.-The most important convention of hard coal miners since that which resulted in the mem orable strike of 1900 began here today and is likely to remain in session until Sat- urday Three anthracite districts are represented by over 500 delegates, the ma jority of whom have presented their cre- dentials. The convention was not called to order until 2:15 o'clock this afternoon.
 President John Mitchell arrived from Altoona shortly before II o'clock. The failure of the operators to meet the offi- cials of the miners union was the princi- pal topic of discussion among the dele gates prior to the convention. The im- pression prevails that if other concessions are made by the operators the matter of recognition of the union will be permit ted to rest for the present.
 Ralph M Paisley of New York, secre- tary of the Civic Federation, who came here today had brief consultation with President Mitchell. who asserted that the consultation related to the Boston freight carriers strike. The convention merely organized today.

NEITHER OF THE TRANSCONTl- MENTAL LINES SUCCEEDED IN CLEARING ITS ROAD YEsTER- pAY-Loss coNJEcTURAL.

At. Paul, Minn., March 1S.-Neither of the trans-continental lines has as yet fully succeeded in clearing it's road of the great heaps of snow under which it was buried by last weeks blizzard. Advices received at the Northern Pacific offices fin this city at 10 o'clock tonight were to the effect that it now seemed possible that trains would be again running before morning.
 The Great Northern officials also say that they hope to have their trains run ming some time tonight.
 The Southern Pacific has only partially succeeded in opening traffic.
 The loss of life and property caused by the storm is still largely a matter of con lecture. But five authenticated cases of loss of human life have so far been re- ported. Estimates on the percentage of loss to live stock upon ranges varies from | to per cent, and 1t will be some days before anything like accurate figures can he obtained.

Underwood Says Nebraskan is Evidently Not Informed
 As to Purpose
DOES NOT RELATE ID
 METHODS OF ELECTION
Merely Wants Dlsfranchisement In- vestigated, and Democrats Think That Should Be Passed On
 By U. S. Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, March 18.-(Spe-
 AE cial. .)-Anent the action of KW the committee on rules hay ing for its object the cutting down of Southern Congressional representa- tives the Post this morning printed an interview with Col W. J. Bryan, tele- graphed from Lincoln, Neb, which has caused considerable criticism on the Democratic side of the House, espe- cially from Southern members repre- senting districts in States which would be affected by the investigation.
 In this interview MT. Bryan says there ought to be no objection to the investigation, if investigation of elec- tion methods includes Northern as well as Southern.
 Representative Underwood of Ala bama, who, with MT. Richardson, rep resents the minority of the committee on rules, says:
 "Mr. Bryan has evidently given out an interview without being fully con- Versant with the subject. His inter- view assumes that it is a question of Investigating fraudulent elections. DOES NOT RELATE TO METHODS.
 "As a matter of fact, the resolution does not relate to election methods at all, and the committee if appointed under 1t would have no power to in- vestieate elections anywhere. The pur- pose or the resolution is to investigate whether any of the States, either by law or constitution, have disfranchised a part of the voters of the several States in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, and is the only, question.
 "of course, the real purpose of the resolution is to strike down represent atives in those States which have abridged suffrage in the South without affecting the representation in North ern States, which for many years have done the same thing"
 The statement of MT. Underwood is generally indorsed by the Democratic members. They feel that the United States Supreme Court is the body to pass upon state constitutions with their at tendant suffrage clauses.
 WILL ABIDE SUPREME COURT.
 If the Supreme Court declare their laws unconstitutional they will accept the de- cision and follow the opinions in enact ing new laws. All investigations are op- posed, one in Pennsylvania as much as in Mississippi. The Democratic minority will therefore use every effort to prevent the adoption of the resolution, and Rep resentative Richardson of Tennessee in- formed the speaker that he would expect the Democrats to contest every inch of progress in legislation this session should the resolution prevail.
 The Democrats will hold caucus tu- morrow night This caucus had been called for the purpose of considering the Boer war, but little time will be devoted to that subject, as the action of the rules committee has created something needing more attention.

|. & N, INDICTED
 BY GRAND JURY Charged With Violating Inter- State Commerce L'W TWO COUNTS IN THE BILL Alleged That Cheap Rates Were Made to Certain Persons for Shipping
 Freight Into Alabama, Ken
 lucky, Tenn. and Ga.
TWO COUNTS IN THE BILL

Louisville, March 18.-An indictment re- turned against the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad by the federal grand jury was made public today. It charges vio- lation of the interstate commerce law, the offense consisting in the road charging less for the transportation of corn in car load lots than the interstate commerce law prescribes.
 There are two counts in the bill which sets forth that on November IA, 1901, the Louisville and Nashville and the Nash vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroads operating as common carriers through the states of Kentucky, Tennessee and Ala bama and into Georgia, made a rate to S. Zorn 6 Go. of this city on 4640o0 pounds of corn shipped from Atlanta to Louisville by the roads named. This rate made the total freight charges on this lot $974.4O. when it should have been $1,11360 The difference or rebate amounted to cents. being 21 cents when it should have been 24 cents.
 Three-cent Rebate.
 The other count sets forth that on the same date on another lot of 46.000 pounds shipped by the same roads to Atlanta, a total freight charge of $117.6o was made when it should have been $1S440, this also being three cent rebate.
 The witnesses named in the indictment are H. F. Smith. A. S. Dodge, M. P. Washburne, of the Southeastern and Mis- sissippi Valley Tariff Association; Fred w. Hudson, Traffic Manager of the L. H. and St. L.; Joseph A. Bushfield and John H. Green.
 Concerning the accusation on which this indictment is based, Vice-President Hines of the Louisville and Nashville railroad said:
 Hines Makes Statement.
 "The indictment alleges that this com pany has violated the law by charging a rate of 21 cents per 100 pounds on grain from Louisville to Atlanta when the tar if rate was "A cents. The fact Is that a proportional rate of cents per 100 pounds less than the local tariff rate has for great many years been applied by all railroads operating from Louisville and Cincinnati to southeastern territory upon grain originating at points west of St. Louis and reshipped from Louisville or Cincinnati, and the shipments referred to in the indictment was of this character. The less rates on such reshipments is an open and public rate, applicable and ap- piled alike to all.
 This adjustment, whereby the less rate is allowed on reshipments, originating at points west of St. Louis, certainly con forms to the real purposes of the Inter State Commerce law which are publicly and equally. There has not been either secrecy or unjust discrimination in it's application. I apprehend that we will have no difficulty in showing that there has been full compliance with the law"

and I see no rerason why it should not go through. Much care should be ex- ercised. however, that we do not make the thing merely a kind of grab bag for ourselves
 MT. Cleveland said he had not carefully looked over Henry Waterson's recent let ter in which he assails the present ad- ministration at Washington and makes the accusation that things are politically in bad shape there with the Republican party. Commenting on it. MT. Cleveland said
 Well the party may get badly mixed up with itself at times, but 1t seems to have the faculty of pulling together at convenient times.'
