commission for record, who in turn
forward them to Gov. Porter, who is
sues them to citizens. There will
be but few weeks now until the
people are given titles to their lands.

pose Of carry enrolling parties to the
different sections Of the Cherokee ma.
ton. The cavalcade will leave Mus.
cogee Thursday, April 10, and go over
land, each party being in charge Of .

pliers, two teamsters and q cook.

SLAVE TRADE RENEWED
Reports Of Fearful Atrocities Come
From COMO Free sstntc.

London, April st is reliably reported
in London that notes are being exchang-
ed between the great powers respecting
a European congress to inquire into the
administration of the Congo Free State
Whatever the outcome Of the socialist agi-
tation in Belgium for wider suffrage. no
one need be surprised if the frivolous Leo
poId is called TO account before long for
toleratins shocking wickedness in the
African dominion intrusted to his sway.
Europe organized the Congo Free State
principally 10 resist the slave trade IN
central Africa. and the convention which
adapted the organic law for the territory
expressly reserved 10 the constituting
powers the right 70 intervene in certain
conditions.
In recent reports from the Congo are
reliable the ivory and rubber concession
aires have been committing or tolerating
frightful atrocities. It is feared that be
hind the curtain which hides Central
Africa from the view Of the civilized
world a terrible tragedy is in progress.
Alarming rumors of punitive expeditions
by Belgian and French colonies have
reached Berlin and London. Religious
journals here publish sdvices from mis-
sionaries in the region concerned that in
dicate a establishment OF the slave
trade by white traders under peculiarly
cruel conditions.
The evidence Is cumulative and strong
and the British religious community IS
amazed at details Of outrages perpetrated
by those whose duty It is TO repress out
rage.

DISCUSSING TIE REPORT
GomperS Said TO be Anxious
for a Fight,

Wheeling, ". Va. April 2s.-The Anal
gamated association got down to real
business today. The wage committee
finished Saturday and was the first to re-
port this morning This will consume
much time. The convention goes over
the report in detail, discussing each
feature. and even if no opposition de-
velops it is a lengthy procedure That
there viii be opposition. however. goes
without saying. The opponents of the
new policy of signing scales will take
advantage of this opportunity TO express
their disapproval of the officers actions.
and this is where the minority report
of the wage committee will come in. The
report probably will take the entire day.
There seems little doubt, however, but
that the report viii be endorsed by the
convention. President Schaffer seems to
have controlling interest and unlike the
report of the fight on contested seats
it viii not be a compromise. The argu-
ment in favor Of the scales that viii be
advanced to the convention will be that
tionaI 1t will be cited that the scales
were signed by the regularly authorized
committees and that the mill owners
were fully informed that thae ratification
OF the scales depended upon action by the
convention. At the same time II seems
that the faith Of the conference commit
tee is pledged 10 the manufacturer that
the scale viii be endorsed. One reason
for the advance signing of the scales is
that it removes possibility of strife be-
tween the union and the manufacturers
for at least another year. The immi-
hence Of another quarrel between the
two foremost organs Of labor, Shaffer
and Gompers, the first intimation OF
which was published Saturday in Asso-
ciated Press dispatches, continued to be
the topic of conversation among Anal
gamated and other labor men yesterday.
More startling developments are expected
this week and Il is possible that the mat
ter may assume proportions that viii
make It the sensation Of the convention
and overshadow the regular business
transactions Of the organization. That
Gompers viii come here this week is now
thought to be certain. An answer to
telegram of inquiry was received stating
that he had left the city and that It was
thought that he had gone to New York.
National Organizer Thomas Flynn, who
was here all day Friday and until ?
o'clock Saturday afternoon, viii return
today. It is understood that he will
urge the necessity Of Gompers coming
if the latter has not already arrived be-
fore he gets back. In the meantime
local federation Of labor leaders and the
anti-Shaher faction are ranying around
the Gompers standard II Gompers de-
pands a personal hearing before the
Amalgamated it probably will be the
most exciting incident in the history Of
the organization.
President Skaters adherents are not
mincing words in their denunciation of
Flynn's coming and Gompers action in
sending him here. They say Gompers
had no right to take unofficial news
paper reports of Skaters addresses and
that Flynn is imprudent in thinking he
could get a hearing.
