There has been no appreciabie
change in the statehood situation

outcome will be. That is. the omni-

about the omnibus bill having a ma
iority in the senate. If or when a vote
can be had. There being only one
way that a vote can be forced in the
senate, that is what is known as sit

the majority can and may do when
they make up their minds to do so
Have heard It said that Senator
Quay has said that when the timc
arrived, that he might be compelled
to show the minority what could be
done with a working majority in the
senate If the omnibus bill fails this
session or is amended in the senate.
which is equivalent to defeat, then
God only knows when another oppor-
tunity will be presented for the ad-
mission of either of the territories.
If the omnibus bill should pass. then,
woe be to those politically who have
sought to defeat statehood for okla

ing that succeeds like success. At
this time confidently believe that
the omnibus bill viii pass the sen
ate and that before another year rolls

ceived telegram this morning from
the attorney general og the United
States peremptorially ordering him to
collect the tribal tax of twenty-five
cents a head on all cattle in the Chick
asaw nation owned by non-citizens.
This applies to the cattle owned by
the non-citizen cattlemen's organiza-
ton replevined by their attorneys w.
o. Davis and F. e. Riddle when the
Indian police attempted to drive the
herds out last week. The action of
the attorney general is based upon the
proposition that the tribal tax law is
valid until the supreme court OF the
United States renders an adverse de
cislon. II is also held that the action
of Judge Hosia Townsend. judge OF
the United States district court, who
recently delivered a decision at Ard
more against the cattlemen. has been
contradictory In issuing the replevin
papers when all the suits filed came
from his court The Indian police
which had finished their work here
and gone to Rush Springs and MARROW,
have been recalled and cattle will be
rounded up and driven out this after
noon. There are more than 1140
head belonging to the cattlemen's or
ganization alone The next move Of
the cattlemen is anxiously awaited, for
they will not submit
