SLY CHIEFTAIN; VOL. XXI. VINITA, INDIAN, TERRITORY, THURSDAY, FEB. 5, 1903 , NO. 24 The ggi& WEE I I I PLAYING HORSE. 1 Status of the Statehood Bill in'Doubt Senator Quay Continues to Kill Time. MAY COMPROMISE By Admitting New Mexico and Ariiona As One State Oklahoma Almost Sure to Get In. Senator Quay hai everybody guessing in the Senate,, and even bis own followers are at tea and are waiting complacently for the development of bis plans, without being able to answer questions or satisfy peopl ' curiosity about the future of the Vjatehood bill. As natters stand, A Mr. Quay has pushed the opposition, temporily at least, to the wall. sj Tbe menace which the opposi tion is now using ts that tbe dead 'lock will end In an extra session, Mr. Beveridga and fh friends de clare that they will let tbe appro priation bills fail rather than pass them wi'h a statehood rider. Whttber Mr. Quay, will press matters to the point of forcing an extra session is a matter of con jecture. No one knows. The senator is keeping his own coun sel, and may or may not carry bis statehood fight to the extreme. On tbe other band, tbe opposition may not be willing to go to tbe limit, Quay bas not lost a parlia mentary trick so far. Be was euohred in the first instance by the failure to make the statehood bill tbe continuous business, in stead of the regular business, be fore tbe Senate, but that, clearly, .wis s breecb of good faitb, apd be is taking nothing forgrantad since that time,but insists on everything being recorded in tbe record. Tbe Senate has practloally wasted two months over tbe statehood prob lem, and Is do cearer a solution than at first. In the meantime, important treatier are pending and appropri ation bills are in a state of sub- pended action. It is now claimed that a compro mise is likelv to be reached in lha course of a week and that it will take the form of admitting Kw Mexico jointly with Arisonaas one state. This proposition comes from tbe Beveridge side and con firms what was hinted last week before Mr. Quay proceipllil to, tach the measure to an Hiropria .tlon bill. It le understood that if tbe opposition will 'give joitjve assurance tiit ;hi will Jte kecepl. able in tb Iloune, tbe'trUtetjorxt deadlock will end in the Senate this week- '., The omnibus Itatebood bill will conl'nua for the present to bold Its .place as tbe unfinished business on tbe Senate ealeudar,bnt It f eecaa improbable tbat tbe discussion of tbe statehood bill .will come up 'Jo ooogtctioo with tbe approprlalfoo bill- - ; ; . , Senator ; Qasy, hs entirely change hie taetios lurtr)f the pant week, and after'trylBg in vafo to Secure a quorum for nlKbi Jflflsiuna on two oiuerent occaslnnaf,biilCi'' if We abandoned all e!Yrts io,litt lion, leaving the senators vborofr . pose the slalsbood bill to take th- resnantrtbllltr fdf, delay.

It U quite possible however, that the queHlior may be submitted to the Senate without a ruling by the chair. TbiB plan hi been pureued in other casns and has been found to work satisfactorily, v The sup porters of tbe oranlbu statehood bill intend to seek to add the state bood bill to more than one of tbe appropriation bills. THE END IN SIGHT. Way Open For Pinal Settlement ol Indian Matter. Tanfs Bixby, in recent letter, informed lion. James S. Sherman that, broadly epeaklng, tbe agree ment! passed by congress and rati fied by lb three larger tribes tbe Choctaws, Chlckasaws, and Cherokees during the past year have finally paved the way to the full consummation of the plan of settlement first inaugurated by the Curtis bill of June 28, 1SU6. Under other agreements, and under the Curtis and -.subsequ tut ante of congress, tbe at! Airs ' of tbe Seminole and Creek nations are now, practically speakitig, f com pleted and closed, witb the exoep. tlon of certain minor maHers not necessary to consider in lt pres ent connection. But, while certain agreements were recognised us necessary sup plemeiita to the Curtis aot, yet, as respects all this work, including, of oonrse, tbe three great tribee now under consideration, tbat act adopted and enjoined a definite policy and imposed upon the com mission certain labors in pursuance thereof. Congress baa made regu lar appropriations in this connec tion, and when tbe recent agree ments with tbe greater tribes came Into edict, the preparatory, work was, under tbe urgency of tbe de partment and tbe commission, in tbe main finished, and thus tbe oommiesion, ae a result of such preliminary expenditures and labor, is ready for and baa now be gun tbe exerotseof the new powers therein granted. f :: , lo other words, tbe approxi mately 10,000,000 acrea( of land, 1 these) Ms f tjipainin ft!ar are now, s' jrVeyail.VUxsed. kalWde j) pletUd iWwfVie forty .ecAMtftt a neceeaary preliminary to tbe di viding of these trjbal estates into rbarea of equal value, as required bylaw.

CHEROKEES WIN United States Court of Claims Decided Famous Delaware Case in Favor of the Cherokees. INVOLVES - MILLIONS. The Segregation of 157,600 Acres of the Lands of the Cherokee Nation a Part of An Im mense Scheme Headed by R.C! Adams.' Tbe long looked-for decision of the United State court of claims In tbe Delaware case came last night and was to tbe effeot tbat tbe Cherokee Nation had won tbe great suit, involving the righte, directly and 'indirectly, of every citizen of tbe Cherokee Nation. It also involves the personal rights of tbe Delawares, both living and dead, to their prorataxhare in tbe tribal lands. Under the original agreement between the Cherokees and the Delaware tribe of Indiana tbey were to have, in tbe event of allot ment, 1C0 acrea to tbe bead. Tbis, as.understood by the Cher okees, applied alone to the regis- tered Delawares, that is to say, those Delawarea who came to tbe Cherokee Nation and enrolled uuder the agreement. The contention of tbe Cherokees baa been tbat the 160 acre provla ion applied to thoee Delawarea of tbe original nnmbar tbat enrolled as Cberokees, and wbo were still living, and that when I Delaware died bia part In the tribal estate went into tbe common tribal estate aa baa been tbe Cherokee law, written and unwritten, from the beginning. One of 'the chief points relied upon by tbe Cberokees has been tbat io tbe matter of tbe "Strip payaient," tbe Delawares cos tended that tbey were Cberokeea io every respect and, therefore, were entitled to all tbe rights of Cberokeea In the proceeds from the sale of the .Strip lands, , Tbis contention was sustained by the courts, and tbe Delawarea were paid lull "prorata . phare of tbe, light millions and upwards that the Strip sold for. ' According to an act of Congress, tbe case will mw be immediately advanced on tbe docket of the Su preme Court of the United Slates, and final decision rendered soon in order tbat allotmenta to tbe Dels. wares may pjoceed. f .h 11 i S 0f A Liberal Offer. 0 All our farmer readers thoulj take art runtime of th uoprecedet'ted club- blOK offer we tbla year make, tkliicb ieciudre wlttt ihte paper tHe Live Stock Indicator, IU Special Saruiem; loeaitute J&llMooa aJ tni Haltr farmer .
