TO FIX ARKANSAS RATE.
Passenger Rate Clerks are in Session
at Memphis.

Memphis. April 13.-The passenger
late clerks of the railroads operating
in Arkansas opened nine-day meeting
here yesterday. 1t was stated by
those who participated in the meeting
that the business before the body was
strictly of a routine nature and that
no announcement of what transpired
could be made.
1t is understood that the withdrawal
of the Cotton Belt from Memphis and
the negotiati>'ns between traffic off
cials of that system and the Memphis
bureau for a settlement of the differ
ences is effecting the deliberations OF
the rate clerks and that nothing may
be accomplished by the meeting until
the Cotton Belt controversy is settled

VEToEs SPUR TRACK ORDINANCE.

Mayor H. King White has placed his
veto on the spur track ordinance which
was passed by the city council at it's
last meeting granting such privilege
to the Consumers Ice company. The
mayor said in council meeting that he
would veto the ordinance because it
provided no restrictions on the track
sand the city council could not control
TT. The cininance was passed by a
vote of six to two, which is more
than enough votes to pass the ordl-
nance over the veto. Members of the
city council e,yress the opinion that
the Consumers Ice company should not
be Disseminated against in granting
the spur track privileges and that the
veto Of the mayor will only delay mat

MUST MAKE SOME KIND
OF "SPEIL'
Chairman Jones Takes a Scoot West
and Says Parker Must Say
Something.
SILENCE NOW TOO INTENSE.

Washington. April 13.-Wiu Judge
Parker change his mind and tell the
country his views en- tie questions
cf tha day before the meeting of the st.
Louis convention? There is just now
a renewal of the demand that the
Judge speak s,it This demand is
from tn lips Of prominent Democrats
-sentc2s. representatives and otaers.
Ii is voiced by Chairman Jones of the
Democratic national committee who
has just come back from the west,
and who tells his friends that unless
Judge Parker defines his views before
the convention meets the party will
not nominate him. That is, of course e,
only Chair man Jones' individual opin-
ion, but so many Democrats are ask
ing what Parker believes in and
stands for that it is difficult to see
how the New York jurist is going to
preserve his attitude of golden silence.
That exceedingly clever journalist, Mr..
Pulitzer of the New York World, who
recently had come to the front with a
characteristic rush as the chief news
paper boomer of Parker, is trying to
meet the demand of the Democracy for
light on hia candidates views by
printing what Judge Parker once
wrote about Thomas jefferson and
some excerpts from the judges judicial
decisions. Manifestly these do net fill
the bill; they fail to satisfy the Demo-
Gratis who insist upon knowing where
he stands" Recently in Albany, Judge
Parker and David B. Hill made it very
plain that under no circumstances
would the judge speak till after he
was nominated. and then he would
be only to glad tc tell all about it in
his letter of acceptance
But the effort to smoke Parker is
gathering force every day. And among
the neutral spectators of the game
there is much curiosity as to whether
or net the judge will "stand pat

URGE DISSOLUTION
BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS
JUMP ON THE DAWES
COMMISSION.
Representative Lind Offers Resolution
to Investigate Work of Bixiy
associates.
SEC. HITCHCOCK is CRITICISED.

Washington. April 13.-Tne hz,.tiIity
in congress to The Dawes commission
has assumed definite form in both
houes. Represantatie Lind Of Mime
sofa introduced a resolution which re
quires the secretary Of the interior
10 explain tie retention in the public
sarice II the officials By the Bonaparte
report. Senator Money Introduced a
bill in the senate creatiEg commits
sion to investigate the action Of the
commission in allotting the lands of
the five tribes.
Mr.. Lind assumes that the Indians
have been defrauded CT their lands
by trust companies in which members
of the commission and other officials
have been stockholders His resou-
ton directs Secretary Hitchcock to
inform the house whether steps have
been taken ito restore to the rightful
owners the lands of which they have
been defrauded by the acts or conniv-
ance Of officers of the government"
The Minnesota congressman de-
mands to know if Tams Bixby, ] George
Wright, A. L. Aylesworth and H. V.
Smith are still in the government SER
vice and, if so, why they are retained
In general, the resolution would have
direct. from Mr.. Hitchcock positive
Information stating whether any of
the persons in the service in the In
dian territory mentioned in the report
of Charles ]. Bonaparte as having
been guilty of violation of law or
misconduct in the discharge of their
official duties, are still retained
This has application in several cases
other than those whose names are set
forth above, two of whom have re-
signed.
Opposition is Strenuous.
1t is the sense Of a large element in
congress that reasons of expediency,
such as Secretary Hitchcock, has ad-
vanced, are no excuse for the ccn-
tinuance of commission and a sys-
tenn in Indian Territory which were
unreservedly condemned by investiga-
tors delegated to get and expose the
facts.
Mr.. Bonaparte advised that the COM
mission be dissolved and that the work
of closing UP tribal affairs be placed
under the direction OF one capable man.
This, the secretary said, was "imprac-
ticable and undesirable. He has
urged before the Indian committees of
both houses and bsfore the Conference
committee that it would be unwise to
make a CHA lge at this time, and ac-
cordingly, the appropriation for the
maintenance of the cimmission has
been retained in the Indian bill.
The indications are that it will be
kept in the measure, but it's enemies
have sought the opportunity to go
on record as protesting. The Lind
resolution and the Money bill voice
this sentiment.
The Money bill provides for the az
pointment of three commissioners by
the president who shall particularly
investigate the Dawes commissions
negotiations with the Creek Nation
for the purpose of "extinguishment"
of tribal title to the Creek lands and
their allotment as provided for under
the act Of 1898. An appropriation of
$4,000 to defray the expenses of the
commission is provided for in the
measure.

Last Saturday night at ten
o'clock fire broke out in the
Pelican Grist Mill near the depot
and before the department could
respond had attained such head
way as to be beyond control. The
building, contents and machinery
we're entirely destroyed and will
prove almost a total loss as there
was but $1,000 insurance on the
establishment, which was owned
by Mr.. George DeBlanc and
occupied by Mr.. AdOlph MOutOn
as a feed store and fuel supply.
Mr.. DeBlanc's loss will aggre-
gate $1,000, but Mr.. MOutOn will
lose but little as there was only
a small lot of hay and feedstuff
on hand at the time. The fire
men saved a carload of wood just
