TRICKERY CHARGED.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Atten-
tion is again heing drawn in an
intense manner to the charge that
there was corruption in the max
ing up and closing Of the citizen
ship rolls Of the Choctaws and
Chickasaws by the vigorous man.
ner in which Representatives
Harrison of Mississippi and Wick
life of Louisiana are urging the
passage of the bill introduced by
the former reopening the rolls so
that Indians in Mississippi and
Louisiana may prove membership
in these tribes.
The two Congressman again
appeared before the Indian AT
fairs Committee today to back up
assertions made by Attorney
Cantwell, who asserted that Chi
canery and sharp practice were
resorted to close the rolls and
shut out the claimants living east
of the Mississippi. 1t was init
mated broadly to-day that before
the hearings are closed there will
be disclosures carrying conviction
as to the trickery practiced in
up the rolls.

HOUSTON SUFFERS TEN MIL
LION DOLLAR FIRE.

! Reports from Houston late
Wednesday afternoon fix the mum
ber of bales cotton destroyed al
53,162. Public service corpora.
tions suffered severely, about
5000 telephones being prostraled
and only partial light and power
service being rendered. Street
cars ran intermittently up to
noon. Many rairoadr cars were
destroyed, as well as tracks and
other Tropertyl Confusion pre-
cludes any estimate of the loss
to railway property.
| Destroying nearly 100000 bales
Of cotton, razing the three biggest
cotton congresses and storehous-
es of Houston, rendering 1000
people homeless, destroying great
quantities of cedar, cypress and
pine and playing havoc with ey-
cry other line of industrial and
manufacturing interests, Hous-
ton. Tex. was swept on Wednes-
day. morning by terrific fire
that played no favorites in its
sweep of destruction.
Total losses have been placed
at $4,000, with the possibil-
ity that the outside figures will
run up to $10,000,00O.
Starting in little two-story
frame structure and famed by a
Texas "Norther" that swept the
town at a 35 miles an hour clip
the fire is the most disastrous
that Houston has ever known. 1t
covered an area of one and one
half miles long and one-fouth Of
mile wide bounded by Hill,
Opelousas and Hardy streets anl
the Buffalo Bayou.
Two hundred and fifty homes
have been laid waste. The sick
ard distressed were driven into
the blizzard and in wild panic
sought shelter from the cold IN
neighbor;ng homes only to be
driven out again as the terrifying
march Df the flames advanced.
St. Patrick, Catholic church
and Academy were wiped out,
all of its sacred and valuable con-
tents being swallowed up in the
seething furnace.
The cotton interests suffered a
terrific blow. The Cleveland ,
Compress and it's warehouses and
80. 900 bales of cotton went into
the furnace. The MacFadden ,,
Compress and warehouses. the
Standard Press and $4,000 bales
that were stored in its warehous
es, and thirty-six cars loaded with
cotton on the Southern Pacific
tracks, have all become food for
the flames. The Cleveland pres
yes alone are placed at $2O0.OOO. |

Great Northern bridge across
Buffalo Bayou was saved by the
fire department, which opened it
