Milwaukee to make an argument be-
fore Senator Quarles, chairman of the
senate committee on Indian affairs,
with reference to the old claim of the
Cherokee Indian nation for IS, 900, OOO
This claim dates back to 1898, when the
nation was removed from Florida and
part of the sum allowed them by the
government in compensation for their
lands was, he claims, wrongfully used
in paying expenses of the transfer.

ISTHMUS STATES Baking.
They VIII Not Be Played Against Each
Other.

Washington, Nov. 27-The cabinet
meeting was devoted almost exclusively
to the consideration of the status OF
the reciprocity treaty with Cuba and
the canal treaty with Colombia. Sec
rotary Hay was not able to report that
any progress had been made during
the past week. In fact, it appears that
the negotiations have come to stop,
and, while no such thing as an ultima
tum has passed, the precise situation
NAV be described in the statement that
the Colombian minister here, Concha,
has distinctly informed the state de-
partment that he cannot, in behalf OF
his government, accept the last propo-
sition of the United Sta ties as a basis OF
q canal treaty.
This state of affairs will stimulate
the negotiations with Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA for the alternative route,
but it now appears that the diplomatic
representatives of those countries are
not disposed to allow themselves to be
used to coerce Colombia and, therefore,
are DESTROYS of remaining in the back
ground until it shall be clearly estab-
lished that no treaty can be made be-
tween Colombia and the United States.

Statehood Gossip.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Gossip about
possible statehood legislation has been
stimulated by dispatches from the West
intimating that the committee on ter
ritories of the Senate will favor the
admission of Oklahoma and the rejec-
ton of Arizona and New Mexico.
Senator Quay refused to enter into
long discussion of the statehood ques-
ton. He has made it clear, however,
that no matter what the committee on
territories may report, he shall insist
upon the admission of the three terri
tories as states.

4 HITCH IN THE SETTLEMENT.
Coal Presidents and Private 0per-
ators Agree on Non-Action.
WOULD GO ON WITH HEARINGS

New York, Nov. 27.-A serious hitch
has occurred in the plans for settle
ment of the coal controversy by con-
ference between the coal operators and
the Miners union.
At meeting between the presidents
of the coal roads and large number
of independent operators strong pro-
protest was entered by the latter
against treating directly with the
miners.
Mr.. Simpson, private operator, said:
"As to miners, it can be shown that
their annual earnings are more than
the amount called fair wages which
was specified by two witnesses called
for the plaintiffs. Their wages per
hour are greater than those of skilled
mechanics working and living in the
same regions, and they work less hours
per day through choice, and conse-
queatly, through the same choice, less
days per year, since the operator must
employ large number of men in order
to secure the output which might be
produced by fraction of that num-
ber."
President Baer gave out the follow
ing after the close of the conferences:
"They (the private operators met
the coal presidents who had signed the
request to the president of the United
States. They presented a protest
against any judgment being made at
this time, insisting that the principles
involved were so serious and affected
so many interests that it was necessary
now to have the commission hear all
facts and pass its judgment upon the
whole controversy.
"Mr. Simpson, as chairman, read a
paper expressing their views, and other
gentlemen expressed decided opinions
In the midst of the conference the re-
quest came from Washington to the
operators of both classes to meet Mr..
Mitchell and his associates. The par
ties present, without dissent instructed
Mr.. Baer to make the following an
swer:
1.-THE conditions are such that no
substantial progress can be made by
the suggested meeting. The general
Judgment of the operators is that it
would be best for the present to go on
with the hearing"

An Indignant Man.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Secretary
Shaw is having the outside of the
Treasury building cleaned. Every
vestige of age, which, to many persons,
only added to the beauty and splendor
of the building, is being removed by
worlSmen shooting hot sand from a
compressed air machine at the massive
granite blocks. Old Washington
doesn't like the change. Secretary
Shaw will next pasture COW in the

$40, and the total seigniorage accruing
on the silver, nickel and bronze coins

quired by law, will come to an end
soon by the exhaustion of the stock of
bullion. This calls for the entire

low record in the history of the world.

of the day were the cable advices to
the effect that the Siamese government

conflicts of serious nature between
the police and the men on strike here,
two strikers are dead and thirty-two
other persons wounded.
The strike, which at first concerned
only the cigar workers, became general

Every class except men operating
electric cars, obeyed the command
of the union; they refused to join in
the strike
