CHINA 5 MINISTER
REPLIES To THE
DENNY CHARGES

Washington, April li.-sir Chentung
LANG Cheng. the Chinese minister, has
taken issue with Representative DENLY OF
Michigan on the question OF the responsl-
bility for the issuance OF fraudulent cer-
tiiicates OF admission 10 the United States.
Mr.. DENLY stated 10 the house commit
tee on foreign affairs. during the hear
ings OF the Foster bill, amending the eN-
clusion act. that the fact that so many
OF those certificates were found to be
fraudulent, WAS pretty fair evidence or
the fraud OF the Chinese officials.
To this charge the Chinese minister has
replied in a letter which has been made
a part OF the record in these hearings.
During the three years he has been In
charge of the legation here. the minister
SAYS he has a record OF every certificate
which has been issued I'm the province OF
Kwangtung or Fukien to Chinese sub
Jects departing for the United States. the
Philippines or Hawaii: that the emigration
from all other provinces is significant, and
that 527 certificates represents the total
number issued. However. he says. the
figures or the immigration service Tor
these three years show the total number
OF applicants for admission bearing GER
-tiAcates- number t50o. The number hear
ing certificates from the Chinese govern
ment Is, he says, but per cent Of the
total number seeking admission.
Where did the 92 per cent. get their
certihcates?" he asks and then proceeds
to answer the question by stating that
under the regulations OF the immigration
service. officials in the following places
are permitted TO issue these CerunCateS.
Vancouver. Victoria, New Westminster
Ottawa, Cuba, German protectorate OF
kiau Tcheou, Guatamala. Hawaii Hong
Kong. Japan, Hokkaido Formosa. Mex
leo, Philippine Islands, Portuguese prov
ince Of Maceo. Society Islands Straits
Settlement. Trinidad and Venezuela The
minister then comments as follows:
None OF these officers has been au-
thorizcd by the Chinese government TO
issue the required certificates and none
Is subject TO the control OF the Chinese
government. When Mr.. DENLY says that
China Is the most flagrantly guilty party
in this matter, does he mean that the
above-named countries are parts OF the
Chinese empire. and, therefore the Off
GERS OF those countries are Chinese Off
cials? am willing TO give him credit for
better knowledge Of geography than
that But is there any evidence that
Chinese Officials have ever issued any
fraudulent certificates?
During the three years 4 have been in
this country as the diplomatic representa-
tive OF the Chinese government no case OF
this character has ever been brought Off
cialy TO my notice, 10 the best OF my rec
objection. The inference is. therefore.
plain that Chinese officials cannot be
blamed for frauds OF this kind"

Editor Vinita Chieftain;
On account Of the continued A.
forts on the part of the local Demo-
cratic press, to make our people be
lieve that they are and should be
Democrats, please allow me to say a
few things in my humble but honest
way in behalf Of myself as well as a
great many Of the Cherokee people
Atthe same time the discussion OF
politics is far from being an agreeable
task with me, as believe that all per-
sons should be free and unmolested in
their political ideas and beliefs and
that political parties should seek the
patronage Of the people through
their merits only.
1t is true we are face to face with
new formof government. Many of
our Cherokee people are stranger to
the politics of the two great parties
and in many instances it will require
time and education before they can
fully decide what is best. On the
other hand, many of Us who have tri-
ed to be honest with our own conyic-
tions, and to lay aside all Of the past
differences between the north and the
south, have long since concluded to
take up the standard Of the great
party that does things and does not
make any bad mistakes
Not that we dislike the Democrats,
among whom are the greatest number
OF our old-time friends, as well as kith
and kin;but because we love freedom,
liberty, prosperity and the good
things Of life better. Not that we
think the Democrats are dishonest
and untruthful, as we well know
that they are all true and honest men;
unfortunately they seem to be gifted
with the faculty of making mistakes
and however honest they may be they
cripple our industries, run credit and
impoverish our people.
The few intervening years, coupled
with the good times between this and
Mr.. Cleveland's last administrations
have not caused Us to forget for a
moment. the suffering caused by the
mistakes Of the Democratic party,
There was a time when we we're and
could afford to be Democrats; then

Work is to Be Done by
City Council at To-
nights Meeting

Tonight is the regular meeting
night of the city council, and there
is considerable business to be brought
up. First in Importance, perhaps,
win be the acceptance Of the bond Of
the Warren company for the gas fran
chise, in case the bond is found to be
satisfactory
The matter of street paving must
also be taken up. An ordinance for
the paving Of Illinois avenue and
South Wilson street has been passed,
and the thirty days in which the work
was to have been begun by the pro-
perty-owners has elapsed. The next
thing, therefore, is for the council to
let the contract for the paving, to be
paid for in script issued by the city
against the abutUing property.
Another matter that will be discuss
ed, in all probability, will be the pur-
chase of machine By which the
electric light current can be measur-
ed. When the present contract be-
tween the city and the light company
Was signed the company promised to
put in new machinery that would
give a better light than had been
given formerly. There has been much
complaint Of late concerning the
service, and some assert that the lights
are no better than they were before.
The contract between the city and
company can be forfeited if otficia
tests now show that the current il
not what the contract calls for

AN INDIAN TELLS WHY
He is A REPUBLICAN

our wants we're but few and simple.
We could fish and hunt along the
streams and live on hog and hominy,
and raise the hog on the mast at that.
But how different it will be from
now onl We are transformed from
ordinary Indians, in part wards
OF The government, to full-hedged citi-
zens Of the United States and Of the
great state, to be, Of Oklahoma, and as
such citizens we will be required to
fulfill all of the obligations. The
wherewithal to pay taxes, with a
little something for charity, for Sun
day schools, churches and all improve
ments, win have to be dug up. And
as we no longer have free range on
which to raise few cattle to sell
every year. and the mast-fed hog is a
thing of the past, therefore, we will
be compelled to depend upon the
products Of the soil. The fields Of the
common people are small and not any
too well cultivated, and should we be
so unfortunate as to have few years
of starvation prices for our produce,
such as we had in the early nineties,
it is certain the bowling wolf would
enter our humble homes and the tax
man would sell what was to be found
and we would soon be out-casts and
strangers in our own land.
For that reason we can't afford to
be Democrats Why should anyone
try to mislead the people by referring
back to 1886; as to that matter, we
could 60 a little further back and
refer to the time when Gen. Albert
Pike, who was great Democrat,
came into our country and forced
John Ross into treaty with the $50
.called) Southern Confederacy, there
by dragging the Cherokee people into
a bloody war, from the effects Of
which they never have nor never will
recover. Bnt for Pike, perhaps the
whole Cherokee people would have re-
NAMED loyal to the United States
government.
Why make the broad assertion that
the Indian Territory win Sc Demo
cratic, as is being made by the Hon.
D. M. Hodge and Others? Let US be
lContirged on last page.l

Gas Company viii Soon
Begin Work Of Lay
ing Mains Here


Mark e. Carr, representing the
Warren company, the grantee of vi
nita's gas franchise, was in the city
yesterday from Tulsa, where he makes
his headquarters. Mr.. Carr had orders
from George Q. Priestley, general
manager Of the company, to make
arrangements here for the unloading
and storing of the twenty-five miles
Of 6-inch gas main, fittings, and other
material which the company has all
ready purchased, and which will be
here soon. Mr. Carr also had instruc-
tions to look into the matter of rates,
The rate from Pittsburg to Bartles-
vile is SO cents on pipe, while to vi
nita it has been quoted as So cents.
The company's bond Of $4,000 is in
the city, and will be presented to the
city council tonight by w. p. Thomp-
son, the company's attorney. AS soon
as the bond is accepted by the COM
pany the ordinance viii be published
and be in force,
1t is time for the company to be
getting busy The thirty days
which it was granted, in which to be-
gin work from the time of the accep-
tance of the franchise, has about ex-
pired, and the members Of the council
say that If the company does not get
to work in earnest the franchise will
be abrogated and given to some other
company, there being plenty that
want it. However, it is plainly the
intention of the Warren company to
carry out the terms Of the ordinance
in good faith, and Mr. Carr stated
last night to Mayor Shanahan that
the gas would be here by the first Of
December, as provided in the ordi
nance.
Vice President Preston Of Warren
Pa, win, 1t is said, be in the city to
morrow to lay out the plans for tht
work The pipes are to be laid undel
the direction of the city engineer.
