C0NNEkS TO ABANDON FIGHT FOR HEARST.
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE PUTS UP THE
SHUTTERS, NEVER H4VING DONE Any WORK

The Democratic State Committee has aban-
doned the fight for Hearst. An announcement to
that effect is expected from William J. Corners
the state chairman, the first of next week.
Mr.. Conners since the Buffalo convention, has
devoted himself to the task of getting Hearst
and Murphy together on some sort of working
Hearst Independence League out of the canvass
in Buffalo. and has unsparingly denounced it
in THE Buffalo Courier" and Enquirer for
having sold out TO the Republicans:
There are only two weeks of the campaign left
Mr.. Conners has not organized his executive
committee He has not collected much money
He has not organized his speakers bureau, and
no Democratic spelloinders are working under
the auspices of the state committee for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hearst.
Hearst and Shearn doing nearly all the
campaigning, and they have not consulted Mr.
Corners about It,

Committee, at the Victoria. continue to be the
lonesomest place in New York. Billy Watson

Corners and Murphy working together in
the campaign. When Conners came to New York
three weeks ago and opened headquarters he
Murphy told him wait and see what Hearst
was going to do about the local nominations
Mr.. Conners became the middleman between
Murphy and the Hearst managers. Once or
twice he supposed ne had the deal between the
two arranged so there would be a practica BILE
working plan for the campaign. Murphy did not
New-York tribune., 1906-10-20

ask for any money from Hearst for the local
campaign. All he asked Hearst to do was D
furnish the snews Of war for the upstate work
Corners thought this was all fixed when Mr.
Hearst repudiated 1t. and then he had to begin
again. Without consulting him. the Hearst men
planned Mr.. HearsIs upstate itineraries Con-
ners appealed to Hearst. and got no satisfaction.
Mr.. Corners made some inquiries around the
state among Democrats, but learned that while
they expected to vote the ticket, they did not
care to take the stump. Conners asked Mr.
Murphy to furnish speakers for the upstate
work. Mr.. Murphy told him that, generally
speaking. all the Tammany speakers year ago
denounced Hearst as anti-Democratic candf-
date, and they We're unwilling to go on the
stump and praise him before the same audiences
1t Is getting so late now that even If the ex-
ecutlVe committee was organized it would not
get down to work before the end of next week
too late to be effective.
Never before so far known has the state
committee failed to make some sort of a cam
paign for the ticket This year it breaks rec
ord by doing nothing, and its failure adds to
the decentralization of the Hearst canvass
1t is somewhat significant that no Democratic
member of the House of Representatives, with
the exception of Mr.. Lamar of Florida has done
any work for Hearst in this state. The Repub-
all around the state for the success of their
ticket The Democratic congressman who hava
been asked to take part in the fight do not want
to run the risk of supporting candidate whose
Democracy is SO questionable as that of Hearst

Wheat-Cables were unchanged but
the continuation of better weather
and the close of May wheat yesterday
by the delivery of over million BUSH
els, caused a weak opening. There
was a plenty of wheat for sale at
every low point on stop loss orders,
the buying was principally from the
commission houses, but was not ur-
gent, as has been noted in the last
few days. The Modern Miller stated
that the drouth conditions have been
generally relieved and the crop has
been benefited, harvest has begun
in Texas and will begin in Tennes-
see in a few days. A prominent bear
house calls attention to the fact that
stocks are depressed, that last year it
took from seventy-fve to one hundred
million bushels to restore normal con-
ditions. This year the trade is fairly
well stocked and the visible supply
is larger
The government report ON spring
wheat will be issued the 10th, and will
probably show condition of two or
three points over last year at this
time. The northwest conditions are
very favorable. Receipts today were
liberal. Chicago had seven ears to-
day, Kansas City ninety, and the
northwest 200 We would buy wheat
on any further breaks.
Corn-Cables showed small ad-
vance and we are entirely out of line
of any export business and have been
for some time. The light receipts
and the continued prospects for it,
were the strong features in the mar
ket. There were charters made yes
terday for over million bushels,
which will clean out all the surplus
stocks in Chicago. We continue to

A CHANCE FOR THE KATY.
Cherokee Writer Sees a Dangerous
Point for the Settlers.

Tahlequah, |. T., June l.-Dr. w.
c. Duncan. of this place. one Of the
best Informed citizens of the Chero-
kee nation. whose writings over the
pen name. -quastee. y have been
read by his tribesmen for more than
a quarter of century, fears that the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad
company, assisted by Governor Hoch,
of Kansas. may win its suit to ac-
quire the land of a strip running
north and south, twenty miles wide,
through the Cherokee nation.
The title of the railroad to the
lands was contingent upon the full
fillment of two specified conditions:
"That the Indian title should be ex-
tinguished. and that the lands should
become the public lands of the Unit
ed States.
"When the supreme court came to
make ltS ueclslOH III lHt Hlthiol dDiV
freedman case writes DR.. Duncan.
"it found, by straying far outside
of the issue before it, an opportunity
TO hold that the Cherokees. when hey
organized over themselves a constl-
tutional government in 1889, dlvested
themselves automatically of their
vested interest in the common soil,
and handed it over unconsciously to
the new born Cherokee government !;
and, this done, the Cherokee citizens
had no longer any vested interest,
but occupied the same relation to
the public domain of the Cherokee
nation that the citizens Of the Unit
ed States held, with reference to the
public domain of the United States. y
As a reason for his fear that the
Cherokees are in danger Of losing
this vast body oi and, DR.. Duncan
submits these statements:
|. The title of the land in question
was in the first place granted by pat
ent to the Cherokee people.
2. Such title being what was
known at the time the railroad char
ter was made, the "Indian title" was
extinguished by the supreme court in
the freedman case.
3. BY virtue of the same ruling,
the "Cherokee nation" became pro-
prietory owner of the land in ques-
ton
4. The Curtis law, with kindred
legislation, abolished the Cherokee
government, and the Cherokee nation
ceased 10 exist.
The land now being left without
an owner, reverts 10 the United
States, and becomes part of the
federal domain.
8. The provisions of the Curtis
law constituted this land to be what
is known in law as the "public lands
