BUT LE aR, MISS Right of Way. Washington, Dec. 31.—Secretary of the Interior Kirkwood said to-day with reference to the reported hitch | in the proceedings toward giving certain railway companies the right of way through the Choctaw nation, that he had receiyed a letter from the governor of the Chickasaw tribe, informing him that adelegation from that nation was en route here to en- ter a protest against the granting the | right of way, unless the matter was jv presented for their consideration and | consent. The secretary said he did not know what reason could be as- assigned by the Chickasaws for this objection. The proposed line ot railways passed through the lands allotted to the Choctaws. at any point touch the Chickasaw ter- ritory ; consequently they had no right to protest on the ground ot in- terference. The only reason he could think of for the action of the Chick- asaws was a fear on their part that the granting of the right of way would open up the reservation to flood of emigrants; but such a fear would, he said, be groundless, as the right of way would be granted | with such conditions attached as would make trespass on the lands of | gutward the Indians impossible withou their consent. THF ELECTIONS COMMITTE Immediately atter the reassemt of congress the attention of the house elections committee will be given to! the motion which has been filed by Mr. Frank J. Donovan of St. Louw counsel for Representative Frost in the Sessinghaus-Frost contest. The motion is to suppress the depositions submitted in the case, on the ground that the notary who took the deposit- ions permitted the written testimony to pass trom his custody and into the hands of counsel for Ses: that while cut ot his hands it w l- tered, many names and places cf residence of voters being changed and parts of testimony crased, and inghaus,and | | and did not | | dice and cunning permit this line of ; greatness. | so absorbed in the passion for cel ling | all this without the consent or knowl- | edge of Frost or his course the elections com be compelled to consider the motion made by Mr. Donovan, which is ac- companied by affidavits setting forth the above allegations. As the test mony in the is very voluminous, and as it cannot go to the printer until after the motion is disposed of | al action in the will be greatiy prolonged. It difficult to see how the committee ean justly refuse to grant the motion made by Mr. Frost’s counsel. GROUNDS FOR THE MOTION. *. J. Donovan ot St. Louis, Mo., coat tor Representative Frost, has filed a motion to suppress all affic vits in support of the contest in the the delay in fi the Third congressional district ot Missouri. The grounds of the mo- tion embody a very grave charg tuok the depositions admits to be} true. In brief, the allegations are that since the testimony was writte: it has been out of the custody of the notary and not safely kept as the law case | is} i oner | of | tions God not a particle of reverence! jis in his tone; jis j katl ee | could rise to case of Sessinghaus vs. Frost from | Guiteau’s Crime Anal yzed “Gath”? in the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Robert J. Burdette of the Burling- ton Hawkeye, who favored a choice seleciion of Sedalians with a fine lec- ture recently, had previously visited Warrensburg. His Hawkeye respecting cences called to mind 1s full of interest. Mr. Burdette thus writes: I was here many years ago, ‘ten- during the war.’? We marched through Warrensburg one bright sunny day, but it didn’t look like this.
