INDIRECT INSINUATIONS MADE AGAINST SENATOR DAWES AND SECRETARY TELLER PROMPTLY DENIED —AN INVESTIGATION PROBABLE. {_Atthe second session of the Forty-seventh Con- gress an Indian appropriation of $300,000 was made to reimburse the Cherokee nation for certain lands. ‘The distribution of the money was intrusted to the agent, ex-Congressman Wm, A. Phillips, of Kansas, who, it 1s alleged, stated to the Cherokee council that he had retained 4 per cent of the amount, or $22,508, to pay two high government officials for their ‘Influence in se- curing the appropriation. It is further reported that Phillips distributed the remainder of the $300,- 000 to those of Indian blood only. ‘The Cherokee nation includes a large number of people of African, descent who are entitled to all rights of Cherokees. ‘They have prepared a memorial to Congress recit~ ing the reported state of affairs and asking tribution of the appropriation, including the amount sald to be retained among the whole nation. ‘They also ask the abrogation of an alleged Tease of 6,000,000 acres of grazing land made by the Secretary of the Interfor. A dispatch tothe New York World to-day says that Mr. Phillips,when pressed by Col. Hondinot, agent of the Cherokees, 'o tell the names of the ‘officials to whom he paid the money, nanied Secretary Teller and Mr. Dawes. SENATOR DAWES DENIES. Senator Dawes, when asked about the story, de- nied emphatically the charge or insinuation against jim, and said that he would, when he learned who Was responsible for tt, hold im personally respon sible. “He expressed’ the hope that the matter would be presented to Congress so that a full inves- tigation might be made. WHAT COL. BOUDINOT SAYS. Col. Boudinot said to a Star reporter to-day that the statement that Phillips had told him that the money was given to Secretary Teller and Senator Dawes was incorrect. “Mr. Phillips’ statement ‘Was made to the Cherokee nation,” said Col. Boudl- not, “and it was that the $22.500 Was paid to high officials in Washington. Some gulleless Cherokees asked him to name the officials." He did not do so, Dut sald, ‘well if 1t hadn't been for senator Dawes and Secretary ‘eller the appropriation would not have been made,’ leaving the impression, you sve, that those gentlemen had recefved a part of the money. ‘To-morrow I will address a letter to Sena- tor Dawes proposing to him to offer a resolution to Investigate the matter, as I understand he declares his desire to have tt investigated.” COMMISSIONER PRICE INTERVIEWED. ; A Srar reporter called the attention of Indian Commissioner Price to the pubifcation in the New York World to-day. He said: “I don’t know any- thing about the employment of Mr. Phillips by the Interor department. If he was employed I know nothing about it. But Idon’t belleve that he was. I understand that he was the attorney of the In- dians. ‘The tact about the payment of the money 43 simply this: “We issued a requisition upon the U. 8. ‘Treasury to the order of ihe Secretary Of the Cherokee ‘nation. ‘This was placed in the United States sub-treasiry at St. Louls, and was Subject to the order of the Secretary of the nation. know of no deficiency in this find. What was done with the money after it passed under the con- trol of the nation 1 have no means of knowing.” SECRETARY TELLER ‘Was absent at the Cabinet meeting when a Star Teporter called to see him. It was stated at the Interfor department tat he will endeavor to find the responsible authors of these statements and proceed against them. EX-CONGRESSMAN PITLUPS was found at the Interior Department. In response to an inquiry he said: “Ihave not spoken to Boudinot in eleven years, and T understand that he has not been at the capl- tal of the Cherokee nation since 1869. Of course I had nothing to do with the payment of that money, as it was patd to a bonded officer, whom, I have no doubt, can account for every cent of it. Idon’t care to notice such things, as I have made a rule for some years past not to do so.” Mrs, and Miss McElroy will pass the winter at the White House.

It Is viftually settled that there will be no re- orgenization of the oMicers of the Senate before the holiday recess, and possibly not then. The demo- | cratic acting Secretars, Sergeant-at-Arms and Ex- ecutive Clerk, the elective officers of the body, will therefore remain in office. With a clear workin republican mojority this situation 1s thought by j mnans, especi:1'y the caniidates for those positions, to be not alitte strange. A gencral inquiry made by a Star reporter of the republican members of | the body shows that there are two reasons for it. In the first place they generally agree that the existing vacancy in the office of the ought to be promptly nied, but at U some of the republican altozether favorabie to the eandtds ©. Gorham urge delay. Pood Ins gomeof the older and more conservatiy favor the retention of Sergeant-at-. Who, they say, has made the best oficer In that | position during thetr long term of service, and, | democrat though he ts, they are loth to part with him. In the ineantime new esudidates for tae omfice of Secretary have appeared. Hon. Edward | McPherson, late clerk of the House, and Hon. An- son McCook, ex-meinber of the Tiouse from New | York, have “bech named to Senatots and whelr | claims pressed by Uhetr friends. What a canvass may bring forth after the § the New Years a taatter at present of pur lation. Gen. Edward W. Whitaker ts also a candi- date for the position of Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, The Fonse Committees. MB. CARLISLE SAID 70 HAVR NOT COMMITTED HIM- SELF TO ANY SLATE. Mr. Carlisle's friends say that he has not, in any Way, committed himself as regards the canstruc- ton of the House committees, The assumption, u that certain men will occupy prominent places is based entirely upon thelr presumed fit- ness for the positions, and does not dispose of the edigelhs that Mr. Carlisle may make entirely dif- | ferent Selections. “The only csirinansbip that te is quite evident 1s disposed of 1s that of the ways and means. ‘The rest are in doubt, to say tie least, and any attempt to name the personel of the conunit— tees would be an assumption which facts would not Warrant. ~The only ting Mr. Curlisie has viven Lis friends to understand as positively settied fs that the ways and means committee will be Placed under the control of the new members from the West, who were elec upon the tariff issues. This would preclude any slate made up merely with re- gard to the known fitness of certain old and tried members. RANDALL OR BLACKBURN? That Mr. Randall will get the chairmanship of the committee on appropriations 1s certainly not Positively settled, though his fitness for that post- tion is generally conceded. Mr. Blackburn’s friends are urging upon the Speaker the appointment of | that gentleman to the position, and. as Mr. has not committed himself upon that point, there is ho reason to asstiae that he may not select Mr. Blackburn in preference to Mr. Randail. NO COMMITTEES TO EE ANNOUNCED FOR SOME TIF. Two of the Kentucky democratic members of the House sald to-tay that Speaker Carlisle told them. ‘that he was now engaged In carefully examining the field and in studying the qualifications of new. members for various duties, and he added that he will be happy if lie can have the comualttees ready for promuigation by the holiday recess, Young Democrats to the Front. 8 THAN EVER BE BEARING OF THE FACT ON POLITICS. Itisamatter of common remark that there are Inen in Congress than have been ob- ng the membership hitherto, in the | re fifty members, 80 says one who has | made inquiry, under forty yearsof age. ‘The y oung- est member Is Mr. Post, of Pennsylvania, who 1s now 27. ‘The youngest Senator 1s Mr, Kenna, of West Virginia, now ‘The question of interest ts: | What 13 bringing the young men to the | front’ in politics?’ An examination ot the | faces of the representatives, aS they sit at their desks, will show U the proporttonate majority of. young men is with the democrats. Said a republi- can who studies the current of politics attentively: One of my principal fears for the future arises from the visible fact that_the young democrats are | asserting themselves, They are taking control ot ‘the party, ‘and that means an ition to us of decision and democrats have y frequent defeat. ay, are afraid to take a positive stand, and their vacll lating: course has helped the republicans to many a vic- tory. But these youngsters are now crowdll old feliows ears s the 0 the rear, and thetr influence ts felt Just look. ‘The young element has captured about all the offices of the House! The old. fogies were beaten out of thelr boots. And I tell you, the republican party will have to fight here ‘after for all tt gets.” Congressional Notes, HOUSE APPOINTMENTS. ‘The doorkeeper of the House has appointed Capt, Samuel Donelson, of Tennessee, clerk of the seal room and James Diffenbough, of Maryland, clerk An the folding room.

Mr. Hickox’s legal rest- denve 1s in Nevade, but Washington has been his home for years. Hé has been a inessenger in the ‘Senate for some years. EQUALIZATION OP SALARIES OF EMPLOYES OP THE TWO HOUSES. ‘The Joint committee to regulate the salaries of employes of the two houses of Congress will hold. their first meeting next Monday. The committee consists of Senators Platt, Cameron, of Wisconsin, and Cockrell, aud Representatives Blackburn, Forney and Hiscock. For many years the fact that the Senate employes got higher pay for the same grade of service than those of the House has been a source of difference, and this jolnt com- mittee Is expected vo adjust them. SENATOR ANTHONY'S TRIP TO WASHINGTON. Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Christie, of the Sen- ate, has been sent to New York to attend Senator Anthony on his trip to Washington. ‘The Pennsyl- vanta rafiroad company has placed aspecial car at ‘the service of Mr. Anthony, and with Mr. Christie to take care of him on the trip tt 1s believed he can come here without any risk. Mr, Anthony will ar- Tive within the next several days, unless he should ameet with a relapse, which 1s not apprehended. ‘A COMPLAINT FROM THE FRONT ROW. Some of the members of the House who were for- tunate enough to secure front seats are complain- ing that those who have back seats have a custom of using the area in front of the Speaker's desk ‘whenever they have remarks to make or occasion to attract the attention of the House.
