THE TREATMENT OF DALY.
Loxnosr, Feb. IS. Mr. Maurice Hcnly,
member from Cork asked the government
iu the house of commons, whether jince
tho refusal of Johu Daly, a life convict in
Chatham prison, to connect tho Parnell
ites with the dyuimite outrages, he had
been treated with enhanced severity by
the prison officials. Mr. Healy requested
that a sworn inquiry be made as to Daly's
treatment or that members of the house
who desire to investigate the mutter be
allowed the same access to the prison as
allowed the agent of tho London Times.
Tho Right Hon. Henry Mathews, sec
retary of state for home affairs, said he
had no authority to grant the rpquest for
a sworn inquiry. He denied the allega
tions against the prison officials and said
that Daly stated that he had no com
plaint to make of hi treatment.
Mr. Healey then asked the question,
"Was Daly nearly poisoned?''
In reply Mr. Matthews said that the
prison dispenser had put too much bella
donna in a prescription for Daly. He had
since been suspended for his negligence.
Mr. Henry Laboucher asked whether;the
government intended to demand a vote
for the expenses of Tutnesse who testified
before theParnoll commission.
Mr. William L. Jackson, financial secre
tary to the treasury, said that no demand
of that nature had been made upon tae
treasury.
PROHIBITION ACCORDING TO SENTI
MENT. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. IS. The Times
Des Moines, la., special says: Ex-Governor
Kirkwood at the head of a large num
ber of Deniocratshas inaugurated a move
ment, the object "of which is to displace
the prohibition law with local option in
certain localities. The object of the meet
ing is to do away with prohibition where
ever past experience has proved it can not
be enforced and where it is openly defied.
In localities where public sentiments
encourages and demands the enforcement
of the law it is not the intention of the
organ ization to intrude.

Pull Text of tie Notice Served on Occu
pants of the Strip.
Washington, Feb. 18. The president
issued the following proclamation today:
Whereas, That portion of the Indian ter
ritory commonly known as the Cherokeo
strip or outlet has been for some years in
the occupancy of an association or associa
tions of white persons under certain con
tracts said to have been made with the
Cherokee nation in the naturn nf .a lwisn nr
leases for grazing purposes; and
Whereas, An opinion has been given to
me by the attorney general concurring
with the opinion given to my predecessor
by the late attorney general, that what
ever the right or title of said Cherokee na
tion of the United States to or in said
lands may be, no right exists in said Cher
okee nation under the statutes of the
United States to make such leases or graz
ing contracts, and that such contracts are
wholly illegal and void: and
nuereas. Hie continued use of said
lands thereunder for grazing pumoses is
prejudicai to the public interests
Now, therefore. I, Benjamin Harrison,
president of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and cive notice: First, thnt. nn
j cattle or live stock shall hereafter be
Drought on said lands for herding or graz
ing thereon; second, that all cattle and
other live stock now on said outlet must
be removed therefrom not later than Oc
tober 1, 1890, and so much sooner as said
lauds or any of them may be or become
lawfully open to settlement by citizens of
tho United States, and that all persons
connected with said cattle companies or
associations must not, later than the time
above indicated, depart from said lands.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my hand and caused tho seal of the United
States to bo affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 17th
day of Februar3', in the year of our Lord
oho iKousanu eignt hundred and ninety
aud of the independence of tho United
States of America the one hundred and
lourteenth.
Seal. BENJAMIN HARRISON.

James G. Blaixe, Secretary of State.
THE TELEGRAPH POSTAL SERVICE.
Washington, Feb. IS. The house com
mittee on postofilces and postroads today
continued its consideration of the subiect
of a limited postal telegraph service. The
meeting was public and Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaker, A. B. Campbell, the
president of the Postal Telegraph com
pany, and D. II. Bates, formerly identified
with telegraph interests, were present.
The session of the committee was oc
cupied in questioning Mr. Wanamaker
and Mr. Chandler concerning the bill pre
by the postmaster general. Mr. Chandler
testified before the committee that his
company could not do the work proposed
at the maximum rates provided in
tho bill without loss. No other company
could do it without loss. Of course if tho
government furnished the facilities, the
employes, etc., it would greatly relieve the
company doing the work of a large ex
pense. Mr. Chandler said he was very
much in sympathy with the postmaster
general in his desiro to serve the public in
terests, "but we do not want to bee a gov
ernment telegraph established," he said,
"or the beginning of a government tele
uraph that will destroy 87,000,000 orSS.OOO,
000 which we have invested in this proper
ty and make it valueless We do nor think
the government has aright to do that,"
Special dispatch to the Dallr Easda.
Tahlequah, I. T., Feb. 18. The news of
President Harrison's proclamation requir
ing the Cherokee Strip Live Stock associa
tion to remove their herds by October 1,
was received by the Cherokees with indif
ference, for they have been expecting it for
some time, The Cherokeo delegates to
Washington. Messrs. Bushyhead and
Adair, telegraphed to Chiel Mayes about
a week ago that tho admiListration was
determined to remove the cattle, and that
they were unable to influence that deter
mination in tho least. Ex-Congressman
William Warner, of Kansas City, made a
trip to Washington especially for this pur
pose, but his mission was a failure.
Advices received here by the Cherokee au
thorities say that Senator Butler, of South i
Carolina, will in a few days introduce
a resolution in the senate inquiring into
the methods of the Cherokee commission.
His resolution contemplates the entire re
organization of the commission, and a re
newal of the negotiations with the Chero
kees for the strip. Bushyhead and Adair
are confident that congress will pay as
mucn as $2 per acre, together with the re
linquishment of certain rights now Tested
in the government with tegard to Chero
kee lands, among them being the abroga
tion of the fifteenth article of the treaty of
lSGG. under the terms of which the govern
ment has the right to settle civilized and
friendly tribes of Indians in the Cherokee
home tract, or "nation proper."
The attitude of Senators Ingalls and
Plumb on the Cherokee strip matter
greatly encourages the Cherokees and they
are now congratulating themselves that
they did not sell for $1.2.3 per acre.
President Harrison's proclamation
serves to make Chief Mayes more stub
born than ever. He announces his inten
tion of removing the 5,000 white intruders
by forco of arms unless the administration
takes some action looking to their re
moval. Public notices have been conspicuously
posted throughout the Cherokee nation
calling for meetings in tha various dis
tricts for the purpose, of voting on the
proposition of selling the strip. The sen
timent is nearly unanimous for a iale.
All Cheiokees now realize that the $200,000
per year which they now receive as "grass
money" will soon cease to be a source or
revenue to them, and they think that they
can obtain $12,000,000 for the land, the in
terest on winch, at the government rate of
5 per cent, would amount to $600,000 per
year.

THE FIGHT ON THE FORECLOSURE.
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. IS. Captain R.
W. Griggs, county attorney of Meade
count, lvansas, is in the city. Captain
Griggs is one of the originators and most
active leaders of the Municipal Defense
alliance, which is organized to fight the
attempt to foreclose the mortgage on the
Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska railroad aud
thus render worthless the $-'.500,000 worth
of .stock owned by the counties through
which the road passes, which was given
them in exchange for bonds voted to aid
the company to build the line. Captain
Griggs says that the municipalities inter
ested propose to fight the matter to the
bitter end and have retained the best lecal
talent iu the state to aid them. There
will be no new move in the matter until
the taking of depositions is finished, and
this will take several months yet. Mean
while the alliance has asked for the ap
pointment of a receiver, pending litiga
tion, aud the arguments on this will be
heard very soon.
TO PREVENT REMOVAL OF FUNDS.

National bank of Medicine Lodge has ap

Special Correspondence to tho Dally E&sle.
St. John, Kan., Feb. J 7. The exhiliarat
ing influence of tho beautiful weather we
are enjoying contributes not a little to
wards enlivening our bustling little city.
Trade from the country is good, one firm
paying out as much as $2,000 in one day for
grain and stock. Considering the low
prices at which produce and cattle rate,
this represents quite a considerable volume
of trade.
St. John deserves to ba rated as a lively
city, considering that within its corporate
limits four weekly newspapers are pub
lished. In looking them over last week
one could notice a difference with a dis
tinction. The News, for instance, seems
to represent the interests of the producers,
and a fine showing it makes. Its figures
demonstrate that Stafford county, with a
farming population of 6,417, has produced
during the year 1SS9 $2,237,304.21 worth of
products 51,329.05 for every family of five,
or $265.81 for every man, woman and child
in the county, giving the county a total
population of S.417. This is certainly a
fine showing and speaks volumes for the
fertility of the soil of this county and tho
thrift and enterprise of its energetic farm
ers. The Advance, which is the official
paper, and whose editor, W. K. P. Dow,
will soon be postmaster, holds up the po
litical end of the county on the Republi
can side of tho house, while the Capital
represents Democra y and Union Labor in
its primitive concepted purity, and the
Rustler looks after the general welfaro of
the people, including religious interests
and prohibition.
In the way of hotels we are well supplied.
The Fifth Avenue hostelry recently opened
under the manegement of . L. Williams,
deserves to be ranked among the foremost
of the state.
District court has been in session here
for some two weeks and is now drawing to
a close. This is the first term in this coun
ty for tho new judge, J. H. Bailey, and the
machinery of the court necessarily re
volves somewhat slower than it did under
his worthy predecessor, Ansel R. Clark;
but in justice wo must say that tho new
judge is doing quite well and seems to
give general satisfaction.
That gentleman is piominently spoken
of as a candidate for congress, aud bo will
have a strong following from this section.
Considerable farm and city property has
recently changed hands in this and adjoin
ing counties. It has been traded for cigars
to u Cincinnati firm. Just what our peo
ple are going to do with the millions upon
millions of cigars that will be shipped into
this country if this thing continues, is not
known.
The universal malady, la grippe, has
about ruu its course in this city. No fatal
results to report.
The long and bitterly contested postoffice
fight has at last been terminated by the
appointment of W. K. P. Dow.
fct. John can boast of well stocked stores.
In the way of dry goods and clothing M.
Weinberg and the Sartz Bros, take the
lead with $1.",000 and $10,000 stocks re
spectively. Both firms have this winter
given substantial inducements to farmers
by paying 2 to 3 cents per bushel above the
market prire for corn in trade. We have
several exclusive grocerv stores and they
do a fair business. Three good banks
with plenty of money supply the people in
mat, line, proviuea tney can give the nec
essary security aud pay the interest.
It is surprising to note the enormous
aniouutof live stock shipped from this
point, aud yet one is unable to realize nuy
easing up of the financial stringency.
There certainly is something wrong some
where, some cause for the present existing
depression. It is apparent that the solu
tion is not found in the "emergency rule,"
and the problem still remains to be solved.
The churches of our city are at present
holding revival meetings. Our schools
are in a flourishing condition.

5l6.CGS,761 more than the bill for the cur

The bill is made up of the following

provision authorizing clerks to act for

The pension payments for February will

AEGUED WITHOUT ACTION.
Tho Oklahoma Bill Debated in the House
Yesterday.
Washington, Feb. is. Mr. Morrow, of
California, from the appropriation com
mittee, reports tho pension appropriation
bill. Referred to the committee of the
whole.
A conference committee was ordered on
the bill to direct the superintendent of the
census to collect the statistics on farm
mortgages and indebtedness.
The speakerlaid before the house a mes
sage from the president transmitting
without comment a communication from
the interior department proposing an
amendment of the act providing for allot
ment of lands in severalty to Indians.
The bill providing for tho appointment
of an assistant secretary of war was laid
before the house. The house went into
committee of tho whole for its considera
tion. The discussion of tho bill was con
tinued until 1:30 o'clock when the commit
tee rose without action nnd tho house re
sumed the consideration of the bill pro
viding a temporary government for Okla
homa. Pending that, Mr. Perkins asked consid
eration for tho senate bill lor tho relief of
the Sioux Indians at Devil's L ike agency,
North Dakota. But Mr. McMillin. of
Tennessee, objected aud the house went
into committee of tho whole on the Okla
homa bill, Mr. Payion, of Illinois, iu tha
chair.
Tho general debate was limited to a
three and a half hours, despite the appeal
of Mr. Barnes, of Georgia, and others for
five hours' time; aud in retaliation for the
enforced limitation, they calltd for tho
readiug of the original senate bill and the
house substitute, altogether fifty-nine
pages One hour nnd twenty minutes
were consumed in the reading and it was
after 4 o'clock before Mr. Struble, of Iowa,
took the floor in sunnorfc of the bill. lie
criticised the aennte bill because it failed
to include all the Creek nnd Seminole
lands purchased under tho last adminis
tration. The house bill embraced all the
territory not occupied by the five civili.sd
tribes. This tract, iu area compared
favorably with surrounding states;
it was in the heart of the
country, well watered, with 1,300
miles of railroad, with business enter
prises, coal lauds, agricultural industries
and a population of 90,000 people. Yet
there was not a single Hue of law to assist
in carrying on business or assert property
rights. Tho house bill proposed to organ
ize it into the territory. The rights of tho
Indians were properly guarded. Tbs first
part of the bill related to the territorial
officials nnd was similar to that of the
senate bill. For convenience six counties
were to be established. Provisions were
made for tho election ot a legislature, for
the establishment of a supreme court
and 'for the trial of cases. National

To provide for the admission of Idaho
into the union.
At the close of tho morning session the
senate proceeded to the consideration of the
executive business
After the executive session the educa
tional bill came up as unfinished business
nnd Mr. Blair proceeded with his addrrss.
He assailed the press for tai ling to print
his speeches and said one would suppose
the press was uuder bouds to keep the peo
plo In ignorance of such facts as ho had
been bringing before the senate. Ha ven
tured to say that of all which he had laid
before tho senato as to these terrlblo fncta
indicative of approaching ruin,
tho false press ct this land hl
not circulated to tho people to the amount
of half a column. That faithlessness on
the part of the American press indicated
corruption and danger of the deepest dye
to the people of the country. He believed
that tho uress was in a league a corrupt
league a league to prevent tho spread of
the facts which he laid before tho senate.
And he was not wholly.he d claml, without
evidence to justify his belief There wcro
agencies iu this country at the bottom ot
that fell and infernal work. At 5 o'clock
he yielded the floor.
Mr. Hale, from the conference committee
on the bill to require tho superintendent of
the census to uscertiin tho number of peo
ple who own their farms nnd homes and
the amount of raortuage indehtednesi
thereon, made a report recommending
that the house amendment be agreed to.
Tho conference report was agreed to.
Tho'nouse bill for the relief ot the Sioux
Indians at Devil's Lake agency, North Da
kota, (exactly similar to the senate bill
passed a few days hlnce) was parsed and
the fcennte bill recalled from the house.
After a brief executive session tho doors
were reopened aud tho seiiatn adjourned,
Mr. Blair mentioning that hu would occu
py two days more in prefctnting his facts
to the senate.

government ought to establish a govern
ment over land to which it did not hold a
perfect title. By solemn obligation, by
treaty, the iana except irom the xnnte LIU
had been given to the Indian's for all Ump.
To erect a superstructure of government
on such a basis would be to build on band
without a foundation.
Mr. Minsnr, of Mixsonri, controverted I

trenches on the Indian rutkts. It was n
simple insertion of courts and court jnrx
diction over the five tr.bes. There ws no
attempt to establish a territorial govern
