Of the Dawes Commission
Reviews the important
Work Accomplished.
CHEROKEE PROBLEM
Discussed a. Length and the Per
picking Conditions Which
Make Final Settlement
Difficult are Explain.
ed to the Depart
ment

In The eighth annual report OF
its work. which mas just been pub
lished, the Dawes commission lavs
great stress on the difficulties en-
countered in preparing the rolls Of
the Cherokee nation, which work,
IL hopes, however, to have com.
pleled this spring. One of the
greatest difficulties to be sur.
mounted was that Of Identifying
the fullbloods on the rolls OF 1880.
The report states that 1t fre-
quently required an hour or
more to identify ard determine
the name Of fullblood, since he
is oftener than otherwise known,
at different periods, by different
names, and his recollection is ex-
ceedingly poor.
The greatest difficulty encoun.
tered in the preparation Of the
freedmen rolls is in the cases
which are being contested by the
representatives of the Cherokee
nation. Many witnesses are in.
troduced on both sides, aud the
record in such cases are very vol
luminous, amounting 10 some in
stances TO more than one hundred
pages Of single.space typewriter
matter in a siGgle case. Yet the
record In these cases is by no
means completed, as both The at
torneys for the Cherokee nation
and for the applicants have signi
fed their intention to introduce
much additional evidence. 1t is
safe to say that more difficulties
are encountered in making an ac-
cura,e roll Of the Cherokee freed.
men and mure time will be con-
sumed than with all The balance
Of the Cherokee nation.
The estimate Of the probable
number of persons Of all classes
who will be righliully entitled to
enrolment as Cherokee citizens
is approximately 3S, 500.
Al the close of the last fiscal
year there were still a little over
700 persona on the authenticated
roll OF 1880 who had not been en-
rolled or accounted for.
1t is expected that by spring
substantial progress will be made
10 closing out the doubtful" cases
and in gettin the cases Of other
classes into Losl shape for final
action so that the rolls can be pre-
pared for the approval of the sec
relaTy Of the interior before the
middle or latter part Of next sum
mer. Il is designed, however, to
transmit to the secretary the
completed cases as rapidly as they
are disposed OF by the commission
IN order that the departments
work of review may not be delay
ed until the commission finally
makes up aud presents the full
roll. Already many cases Of what
is known az the "memorandum"
class have been forwarded to the
department under its instructions
aud finally passed upon, aud a
continuation oi this policy as to
the other classes Of csses promises
to expedite the completion Of the
roll work and secure the maximum
Of thoroughness and care.

How Easy to Delude,

Isn't it strange that the man Of toll

clan favor. The other day Jim Hill
and his chums Mellen and Koh-

growers of Eastern Washington and

and harmony were removed. Senator
Hanna, the other day, spoke to 10000
people, in Ohio, on the relative inter
ests of " Labor and Capital" and made
the man of toll, it is said, fairly howl
with delight over the many pleasant
things he said about the dignity and
rights OF labor.
Canno; the man oil toll profit from
the teachings of experience? Should
he believe the professions of men
whose whole life,history gives the lie
to present professions made ut time
when nothing short Of downright du-
plicity can save the cormorants from
the vengeance of an outraged people?
Is there not trend of logic to be Oh.

HANNA WILL BE A CANDIDATE-A
Washington dispatch of a late date
says that Hanna's friends admit that
from this time on he may be regarded
as candidate for the Republican nom.
ination for President in 1904. 1t is
now admitted that he has been secretly
whetting his knife on all opportunities
for taking Teddy's scalp, and that his
denials have only been influenced by a
fear of premature occupation of the
field. Lines are rapidly closing for a
contest between himself and the Presi-
dent. The late announcement of
Plat that New England is solid for
Roosevelt has fastened somewhat the
closing OF the issue.

IT may seem passing belief, but Lon
don experts in the meat trade assert
positively that the prices of beef in
London, Liverpool and Manchester
are controlled by the American beef
trust. Ten years ago the Americans
sold through English statesmen. Now
fourteen OF the leading stalls are occu.
pied by American houses, who abso.
lutely control the price of beef. They
meet daily to fix the rate. The com.
bine has prevented the English from
importing live cattle by taking practi.
cally all the available freight space on
steamships from sources of supply for
six and twelve months time. They
will run this space unladen rather
than to allow opposing firms to use it.
The conditions in the English prov.
inces are similar. The only relief
may be obtained through re-opening
shipments from Argentine, which are
now prohibited from the foot and
mouth disease, peculiar to cattle. 1t
is expected in London that meat will
attain a record price before winter.
