PANAMRS COURSE SUICIDAL

Panama, Nov. 23.-General Victor
Salazar, formerly governor Of the de-
partment Of Panama, and who during
the last revolution was supreme com
mander of all the Colombian forces on
the lsthmus. has been requested to
give his opinion concerning the pres
ent trend Of affairs on the Isthus, and
telegraphs as follows from Palmira, in
the department of Cauca:
Il consider the movement unworthy
and unpatriotic. I deplore II deeply,
because in each Panamanian l see a
friend and brother. and becaUse for
that land / would wish only days of
glory and welfare. The road it fol
lows leads to suicide. and even now
it is not too late to reflect and save
Panama the horrible consequences.
"The departments of Cauca and An
tioquia and the whole Of Colombia
without political or social distinctions
will rise like one man TO defend the
national integrity, General Tribe
Tribe General Benjamin Herrera and
all Liberals have offered their services
70 the government. An army of 100000
men, now being organized and to be
commanded by both Liberal and Con
servative leaders, will soon march OF
the lsthmus.
"The fact that American help was
asked for and accepted by Panama
characterizes the movement as trea
sonable to the fatherland, misleading
in sentiment and offensive to the ma
tional dignity"
General Salazar is most inhuentia
among the younger element Of the Co
lombians and has a bitter dislike foi
the people Of the United States. II,
is courageous and energetic. but Of {
Quixotic nature. and probably believes
that his s~=sement that an army o.
100000 is being organized VIII stuI

CONGRESSMAN
CHAS. CURTIS
interviewed at Vinita by
a Chieftain Scribe
Last Week.

Charles Curtis, member of
congress from Kansas, arrived in
Vinita night of Oct. IA and was
here until 10 80 Oct. 15, when
he took the train north enroute
to Bartlesville, and from there
will return to Topeka. He
spent the night with Pliny l..
Soper, and the morning was
spent about the court house in
conference with Judge Gill and
members of the bar and other
citizens.
Mr.. Curtis is anxious to learn
all he can about the needs of
this country, and is deeply con-
cerned about the kind of legis-
lation needed. He is an ardent
single state advocate and avows
that there is no other sentiment
in congress or elsewhere that
amounts to anything. When
asked as to when statehood
would probably be conferred on
the two territories he said that
it was not at all improbable
that it would come next winter.
With reference to public
schools, Mr.. Curtis favors the
appropriation by congress of an
amount sufficient to Offset Okla
homa's school lands.
He declares that the work of
allotment must be hurried that
an additional force must be put
to work, not only in the Chero-
kee nation but in the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations, and that
the work be completed without
delay.
As to the Delaware case in
the supreme court Mr.. Curtis
said that he thought a decision
would be handed down very
soon and that vexatious matter
finally settled. He has been
taking notes relating to the 157 :
800 acre Delaware segregation
and will be able to enlighten
congress and the departments
in this important matter.

HE PURCHASED
THEM AT WNlTA.
Supplies For The Or
phan Asylum OBJ
tanned Here.

f. @. Alberty, superintendent
of the Cherokee Orphan Asylum
was here Thursday purchasing
supplies for that institution.
Seventy suits Of clothing for
boys and a like number for
girls were purchased at Rat
cliffs.
Mr.. Alberty stated that he
could save money by purehas-
ing supplies in Vinita. All the
groceries, etc, are purchased at
this place.
Mr.. Alberty has the asylum
in better condition than ever be-
fore in its history. He has in
augurated a system Of manual
training, and is now seeking to
have GAO acres Of land set apart
for the institution.
It furnishes a school and a
home for every Cherokee or.
phan, and has been Of untold
benefit to the Cherokee people.
Now that the days of tribal
government are numbered il is
proposed to make the Orphan
Asylum perpetual for the use OF
Cherokees by setting aside for
its endowment a section of the
rich Grand river bottom land.
The site is one Of the most beau.
tifuI, as we'll as the most vaIu-
able in the Cherokee nation.
