five civilized tribes, is proposed
by tbs senate committee on Indian

pending The committee has prao

is expected that report will be-

committee has been working on
the bill for the last ten days. and
has been In almost continuous
session. A number Of important
am endmenis have been offered,
among them the proposition to
make the Dawes commission an
active, aggressive force in the mat
ter Of completing the enrolment
Of, the Ave civilized t'ibes, aud
preparing them for finsl allotment
Of free lands and distribution Of
their funds.
Senators Qusrles and Platt Of

THE WARRANT PAYMENT.

The facts as they appear in the
warrant payment scheme which
passed the Cherokee national
council laet week, Rs given by q
member, are about as follows:
The bill was introduced in .he
senate and passed, tranmitted to
the lower hOuse and read the first
time before noon Saturday, the
day the council adjourned Im-
medistely upon the convening Of
the afternoon session il was placed
upon second reading, subject 10
discussion and amendment. An
amendment was offered to strike
out section 3, which provided for
the Chief to draw his warrant in
favor of heads Of families, and
providing for the money to be dis.
tributed by government checks on
the sub-treasury at St Louis by
the agent or the officer appointed
TO make the payment.
s. H. Mayes, Jr., and W. l..
Trott made an aggressive fight in
support Of the amendment. James
Woodsll of Delaware and Judge
Litllejohn of Sequoyah districts
opposed the amendment. For
lack OF time the supporters Of the
amendment we're compelled TO al
low II TO go to a vote and the
amendment was defeated by q
small majority. II was contended
by the supporters Of the amend
ment that under the Nineteenth
article Of the Curtis act, il could
not be paid otherwise, Dotwith
standing the bill provides for the
payment IN warrants.
They further contsBdsd that il
the warrants we're interest bearing
they would be discounted 10 per
cent. which " uld throw 49, 100 Of
the $4,000 relief fund into the
pockeis Of the spectators. II nom
interest bearing, (Which they are),
$500 would go into the pockets
of tie specuiators, as they would
De discounted 25 per cent. while
on the checks there would bs no
discount.

alton of the commission to place =
high. price, effective man at the
head Of the commission, with in
s,ruclins to proceed vigorously
with the completion OF the work
for which the commission was ap-
pointed.
1t is argued that the salary pro
posed will be sufficient to secure
the services Of a chairman compe-
tent tor the task. The bill, as it
passed the house, provided for a
reduction of the membership Of
the commission from four to three.
The senate committee takes the
position that such a reduction
would only result in a delay Of
the work. which il is now desired
10 push to completion.
Another amendment offered by
The senate committee prohibits the
establishment of any additional
townsites in the Indian territory
ungil the lands Of the Indians
have been finally allotted Under
Existing Laws the work Of allo,-
ment Is seriously retarded by the
establishment of townsites in diff
ferent parts of the territory. 1t is
also provided, in another amend
ment, that 100000 be appropri'
ated for the pay Of outstand:
ing warrants of the Greek nation
the amount to be taken from the
fund # the Creeks.
There will probably be but lit
tle opposition TO the amendment
reorganizing the Dawes commits
sion when the bill Is returned to
the house from the senate.

the LAW WILL GOVERN.

As to the manner in which the
payment TO the destitute fullbloods
sball be made, Section Nineteen
OF the Curtis Act seems TO settle
all controversy Il is as fOllows:
"No pay ment Of any moneys IN
any account whatever shall here
after be made By the United
States TO any Of the tribal govern.
merits or to any officer thereof tor
disbursement, but payments Of all
sums TO members OF said tribes
shall be made under direction OF
the secretary of The interior, by
an officer appointed by him; and
per capita payments shall bs made
direct to each individual in lawful
money Of the United States, and
shall not be liable to the paymen,
OF any previously contracted obli-
cations"
This is the law, aud the warrant
fraud will not be allowed to ma
terihlize.

The government should know
who is responsible for the refusa

roll their names with the Dawes
commission. The commission has
offered ever inducement and has
been very pa lent with these peo.
pie. and is now going into the
bills after them, and will spend
weeks in hunting them out and
getting thei- names before the roll
is closed. But there are certain
Cherokee attorneys who are ad.
vising these ignorant people to re-.
fuse to enroll their names. To
thus mislead these poor people
ought to be punishable by fine and
Imprisonment. II the fullblood
Indians fully understood the stu
