To Several of the Senate
Amendments to Indian
Appropriation Bill.
PROMISED
On Several Provisions of Bill
When it Goes to Conference,
But Dawes Commission
Will be Principal

tion.

SeVerai OF the provisions oil the
Indian Appropriation bill as
amended by the senate, will be
vigorously opposed by the repre-.
sentatives of the house in the con
ference committee.
The bill will go to conference
as soon as the Cuban reciprocity
bill is disposed Of in the house.
Congressman Sherman, of New
York, chairman of the house com
mittee on Indian affairs, is a mem p
Der OF the conference committee.
He is chairman of the committee
Of the whole in the consideration
Of the Cuban bill and this pre-.
vented a meeting of the conference
committee. The senators on the
conference committee are Stuart,
PiaIt and Jones. The house mem
bers are Sherman, Curtis, of Kan
sas, and Little, of Arkansas.
The first difference of impor-
ance will bs over the Dawes com
mission. The house bill reduced
the membership Of the committee
TO three and limited its appropri
alton to s7S 600. The senate re
stored the number Of commission.
ere to four and the appropriation
to $3.50 The members of the
house committee will oppose this
amendment. 1t was the sentiment
Of the members that the commits.
sion should be either abolished or
thoroughly reorganized. They
will oppose any plan that looks to
the retention of the body 10 its
present form. They would prefer
that the commission be abolished
and that its affairs placed in the
hands Of the Indian commissioner.
The house bill provided that
until allolmenls are made the
holdings Of land by the five civil.
lied tribes shall be as follows:
Chiokasaws and Choc;aws, 800
acres each; Creeks, 100 acres, and
Cherokees, 100 acres. The senate
has amended the bill to allow the
Creeks 100 acres each and the
Cherokees eighty each, cutting
out all provision for allotment to
the Choctaws and Chickasaws. The
object Of the house bill providing
for temporary allolmenis ives to
prevent the excess holdings in the
Chickasaw and Chootaw nations.
The house members will not con.
sent TO the elimination Of this fea
lure OF the measure.
The senate bill provides that
lands allotted to white men who
have no Indian blood may be sold
by them without the restrictions
and limitations placed upon the
allolmenis Of the Indians. This
provision will also be opposed by
the house committee.
