8 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D. C.. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1893—TEN PAGES. BOOMERS’ LAND OF PROMISE. How the Cherokee Strip Was Acquired for Settlers, Secured From Its Indian Ocenpants After Long Negotiations—A Story of Treaties aud Litigation. The President's proclamation opening that part of Oklahoma territory known as the Cherokee strip takes effect tomorrow. The New York Times’ Washington corres- Pondent writes as follows of the history of the strip: ‘The Cherokee strip has a history, extend- ing far back im the records of controversies with the Indians. It is not an exciting history, but it has led to much excitement, the causes of which eastern men can scarcely appreciate. Under the act of June 30, 1834, it was pro- vided that all that part of the United States west of the Mississippi river, and not within the states of Missouri and Lou- isiana or the territory of Arkansas, should be considered the “Indian country.” The territory thus defined, Wdentical with what Was then the territory of Missourl, was art of the Louisiana purchase from France, consummated in 1%, and situated between letitude % degrees % minutes and Hi de- Grees north and longitude % 2 minutes and iS degrees west, a length of 470 miles east and west along the order and south of latitude 36 degrees 30 minutes of about 36) miles. The breadth west of the one hundredth meridian is about % miles, and east of that line about 210 miles, comprising an area of about 6&- #1 square miles, somewhat in excess of the entire area of the six New England tates. When the so-called “five clvilized tribes.”” the Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks and Seminoles, were removed west of the Mississippi river to the Indian country, now known as the Indian terrt- tory, various tracts were set aside from time to time for thelr occupation. The Cherokees were finally located upon @ tract ing 5 acres, ‘ease- Siok "Ute to” what is) kuown as the erokee outlet” or Cherokee strip, on the north of the Indian territory. The Choctaws received a tract comprising 6,- 000 acres, the Chickasawrs 46095 acres he Creeks acres, and Semi- holes S250 cores, all of which is held tn noles 3, tribal relation. The common under the ‘ua stipulated thet “in acres thus provided for and bounded, the ‘Unieed States further guarantee to the Cher- okee nation a perpetual outlet west and a free and unmoiested & then eastern boundary of Mexico. This patent recited that the it was subject, in addition to the use of the salt plain. to all other rights reserved to the United States, subject to the condition that the lands granted should revert to the United States if the Cherokee nation became ex- tinct or abandoned the land. The area of the outlet lands was then estimated at 6,000,- 0 acres. Matters stood in this condition, the Cher- okees clafming, meantime, a fee-simple title to the outlet lands, until the war of the re- bellion. The majority of the Cherokees took the confederate side. This act practi- cally vitiated the treaties and left the Chero- kees in a bad plight. Inasmuch as forfelt- ure and confiscation were not pursued against other persons in rebellion, a new treaty was consummated with the Chero- kees In 1863, which embraced and reiterated all previous treaties, but provided that any civilized friendty Indians might be settled within the Cherokee country east of the minety-sixth degree,on the unoccupied lands, upon such terms as agreed upon by the friendly tribe and the Cherokees, subject to the approval of the President. It was further provided in this treaty that “all provisions of treaties heretofore Fatified and in force and not inconsistent with the provisions of this treaty are here- by affirmed and declared to be in full force, and nothing herein shall be construed as an acknowledgment by the United States or as a relinquishment by the Cherokee na- tion of any claims or demands under the guarantees of former treaties, except as herein expressly provided.” In 1879 the Cherokee nation enacted a law providing for the collection of a drover’s tax from every persom not a Cherokee citi- zen engaged ia driving stock through their country. In 1888 the Cherokee council pass- ed an amendatory act, authorizing the prin- cipal chief to execute a lease for all the un- occupied lands of the Cherokee nation lying west of the Arkansas river to certain per- sons named, in trust for the Cherokee Strip Live Stock “Association, for five years at a yearly rental of $100,000 for the entire tract, Which lease was executed, but never for- mally approved by the commissioner of In- dian affairs, the Secretary of the Interior strip, denied the right of the government to interfere In any way, save as to the use of the saline springs and to settle friendly Indians on their ted lands. The courts were invoked, confi decisions ren- dered concerning the title of the Cherokees to the outlet lands, whether 1 was only an ‘was the first chairman, to negotiate for the cession of these and other lands in the In- dian territory. The Cherokees were unwill- img to negotiate for cession, preferring to derive a revenue from the use of the out- Jet lands for grazing purposes. Certain cattle and land syndicates, believ- ing that the Cherokees had a fee simple to the outlet lands, offered $15,000,000 to pur- chase the strip lands, then ascertained to compromise 6,022,754.11 acres. They discov- ered, however, that the Indians could not convey title, and that the government was disposed to seize the outlet, open it to settle- ment, and leave the matter of proper com- pensation to Congress. The public domain open to settlement had become very much restricted, and “boomers” were gathering in large numbers on the borders of Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas, eager to settle on the strip. So persistent were these settlers that the military forces were constantly employed in ejecting them, with the result that great irritation followed, and it be- came evident that bloodshed would ensue unless some immediate action or relief were had. Finally the Cherokee commission, in De- cember, 1891, negotiated an agreement with the Cherokee nation for transfer of its title to the outlet lands, the Cherokees finding themselves unable to resist the pressure of the settlers and the demand of public sentiment that these lands should be de- voted to civilization, such as rapidly fol- lowed the opening of Neeson arms ee ‘This it was sul gress, Ent S2air"ammndrene peniet"which Recessarily required the concurrent action of the Cherokee council. Accordimgly, the Indian appropriation bill approved March 3, 1898, contained the legislation necessary to fulfill the agreements for the cession. pay the Cherokees the amounts agreed ‘upon, and open the lands to public settle- ment after certain preliminaries should be observed, in accordance with the terms of the act of May 2, 1890, providing a tempo- rary government for the territory of Okla- homa. The act also provided for opening to settlement the surplus lands not allotted to Indians tn severalty of the Tonkawa and Pawnee reservations adjoining the strip, so that all the ceded lands are now embraced within the jurisdiction of Oklahoma terri- tory. The sum paid or to be paid the Cher- okees is a total of $8,59,738, but of this amount the Cherokees are required to pay $280,000 for the appraised value of improve- ments of intruders on the Cherokee lands proper, who are to be removed. In addition, about $1,600,000 is reserved to pay the Dela- ware and Shawnee Indians and the freed- men of the Cherokee nation, or their heirs or representatives, whatever amount the courts shall find due them from the Chero- kees under existing laws or treaties. All the lands vary in fertility and value. They are divided into three classes. Those east of the parallel of 97.30 are subject to entry under the homestead laws at $2.50 per acre; those east of 9830 at $1.50 per acre, and those west of 98.30 at $1 per acre. ‘The strip 1s divided into counties of nearly equal area, with county seats established and due reservations made therefor. Pro- vision is had under the general law for town sites. Sections 16 and % in each township are reserved for school purposes, and the President is authorized to make such other reservations as he may deem proper, to be included within the terms of his proclamation opening the outlet to pub- lic settlement. In view of the great pressure for further opening other lands of the Indian territory to settlement Congress created a commis- sion of three persons to negotiate with the five civilized tribes to take lands in sev- eralty, now held in common, and purchase the residue. This commission has not yet been appointed. The annual salary of these commissioners is $5,000 each and $50,- 00 1s appropriated for the purpose. This is probably the most tmportant Indian com- mission ever authorized, since upon the success of its efforts depends the reatora- tion to the public domain of an empire rich im agricultural and mineral products. The five civilized tribes are indisposed to yield their autonomies and become citizens of the United States, but in time they must come to that complexion, since the present abhorrent separate empire of the Indian territory cannot be much longer main- tained. ‘A telegram received at the Interior De- partment today from officers of the gen- eral land office now in the Cherokee outlet says that reports from all the booths show that 50,000 people registered up to last night. Additional clerks have been put on duty ‘at Arkansas City, and the office will be kept open day and night as ‘ong as nec- esssary to accommodate the crowd. apm ve MOVED THE FINISH MARK. Ground for Awarding the Yacht Race te the Navahoe. An interview was had yesterday with Mr. Carroll, who was asked for the exact grounds on which he had based his protest against the Brenton’s Reef cup being awarded to the Britannia. Mr. Carroli stat- ed that his reasons for protesting were that the mark boat was found in a position at the finish different from that it had oc- cupted at the start, having been, after the start was made, moved into Alum bay, eastward from the Needles, and nearly two miles from the starting point, and that the Navahoe was just astern of the Britannia in passing the line at which the race had started, thus saving her time allowance of fifty-four seconds at the finish. Mr. Carroll claimed that the race ended at the starting line and not at the mark boat, which, as above stated, was out of position, and which the Britannia passed fifty-seven seconds before the Navahoe. ‘The committee admitted that the race should have ended at the starting line. It was by the committee’s order that the mark boat was moved, it being desired to get the boat into a more sheltered position. The members of the committee declared that had they had any {dea that the yachts would have finished the race in so short a time the mark boat would not have been moved. A member of the committee explained that the markboat at the Needles was moved because it was in the way of in- coming and outgoing vessels. The com- mittee intended to have the boat replaced exactly in its original position. Nobody, however, had an idea that the yachts would get back as soon as they did, and, conse- quently, the boat had not been taken back to the starting point when they arrived. oe The Capitol Centennial. From the Philadelphia Press. Next Monday the one hundredth anni- versary of the laying of the corner stone of the National Capitol at Washington will be celebrated in that city with appropriate processions and exercises. In any other year but this the event would be the lead- ing occurrence of the twelve months, but even the Columbian world’s fair has not been able to wholly overshadow it. The preparations indicate that the exercises will be worthy of the event and will compare favorably with the ceremonies of September 18, 1788, when, history says, the procession “marched in the greatest solemn dignity, with music playing, drums beating, colors flying and spectators rejoicing, from the President's square to the Capitol grounds,” where the stone was laid. Congress, in choosing plans for the na- tion's Capitol, showed the same inability to grasp the future wants of the people that it has exhibited on many other occa- sions. The brick buflding first suggested would not today be considered a respect- able city warehouse. Posterity does not know all the Influences that brought about the final selection of the architectural plan. Of the squabbles of contending architects history tells something. But lke many other men with an inadequate idea of the work before them, the Congressional com- mittee in charge butlded better than they knew. They chose a plan which served as the embryo of the present magnificent structure. Gradually the building ha: grown from this small beginning as th architectural sense of the nation grew. Corridors, porticoes, wings, fluted columns and tezraces were added, and last of all the great central dome, untii the building stands today the embodiment of a nation’s taste and challenging the admiration of the world. No building that was ever reared has made a profounder impress upon the peo- ple by whom it was erected. It has served as the model for hundreds of state bulld- ings. Almost every state in the union, in planning for a capitol, has conformed more or less to the Capitol’at Washington. The classic simplicity of its outlines appeals to the innate refinement of every one who be- holds it. Wearied and disappointed states- men may be insensible to the beauty of the landscape spread out from the western ter- race, but probably no one of them has been untouched by the surpassing mecits of the building before him. No other nation has its equal. The richly dight St. Stephen's Hall, in which Britain's parliament con- venes, lacks a setting, and no continental nation is better provided with a legislative hall. Considering its educating effects, no country ever spent $15,000.00) on its capitol to better purpose. As it stands today It is & monument of architectural achievement of which the whole nation can be proud. ce Mrs. Marie A.

The Most Formidable is the A. ban Lately at New York. ‘The squadron which has turned its guns on Rio and begun shelling the city is com- manded by Admiral Custodio Jose Mello, and consists of the armored battleship Aquidaban, the protected eruiser Republica, the cruiser Trajano, and three torpedo boats. Of these by far the most formidable 1s the Aquidaban. Two of the revolting squadron, the Aquidaban and the Republica, with the gunboat Tiradentes, represented Brazil in the Hampton Roads evolutions and at the naval review in New York harbor. ‘They were then under the command of Rear-Admiral de Noronha. The Aquidaban is a steel-armored battle- ship of 4960 tons displacement, with two turrets. She is a fighting ship in every sense of the word. She ts English in design, build and character. Her engines were de- signed to give her a speed of seventeen knots an hour. They have, however, not equaled the task, her speed being not’ over fifteen knots an hour. The quarters, the gangways, the fighting arrangements, the boat hoists, all were so thoroughly English as to make her seem a British warship. ‘The battery of the Aquidaban is one of the most powerful and efficient carried by any warship afloat. It is a powerful one because of the high penetrative power of the pieces of the primary battery. It is efficient because readily handled, being made up of four nine-inch twenty-ton breech- loading Armstrongs, four seventy-pounder five-ton guns, also breech-loading Arm- strongs, and fifteen machine guns mounted in every conceivable place about decks. The machine guns are all Nordenfelts and Hotchkiss rapid-fire guns. The latter are three-pounders and one-pounders. ‘The Aquidaban. In adition to the above powerful primary and secondary battery, the Aquidaban is provided with five Whitehead torpedo-fring tubes. These tubes are operated inside the superstructure, two being on the port side, two on the starboard and one in the stern. The stern torpedo tube is operated in a torpedo room, which Is situated abaft the commanding ‘officcr’s cabin. It is a large, commodious space, much larger than one usually finds allotted to such purposes. Its, n fact, so large that two five-ton guns have been mounted there, serving as stern chasers. They are two of the four five-ton guns allowed the vessel in her primary bat- tery. The remaining two five-ton guns are mounted under the extreme forward super- structure. This forward superstructure would be styled a covered or closed topgal- lant forecastle on an American ship. The Aquidaban displaces 4,950 tons. She f 28) feet long, has a beam of 52 feet and a draught of 18 feet of water. She mounts her four nine-inch guns in turrets, placed en- echelon, the after turret to starboard and the forward turret to port. Two guns are mounted in each turret. The arinor on the turrets is Cammel compound armor, ten inches in thickness. ‘This is the same kind of armor that was smashed to pleces at Annapolis by an American six-inch gun dur ing the competitive armor test. On the base of the turret the armor measures eleven and a half inches in thickness, The hull armor of the Aquidaban {s placed on the vessel in the form of a belt, that Is, it does not extend completely around the ves- gel's hull. The thickness of her hull ts eleven ches. ida- ‘The Other Warships. The Republica is a steel protected cruiser of 1,300 tons displacement, and was only completed in 1892. She is 2261-2 feet long, thirteen feet draught. She has a two-inch protective deck, and a battery of six 47- inch and four six-pounder rapid-fire guns. She has four tubes for Whitehead torpedoes. With 3,800 horse power she is credited with @ seventeen knot speed. The Trajano is a cruiser of 1,400 tons dis- Placement, carrying seven 47-inch Arm- strong breech-loading rifles. With a horse power of 2,400 her. single screw propels her at @ thirteen knot speed. The latest estimates place the figures of the Brazilian navy at 9,000 men, all told. In 18 the figures were as follow:One admiral, twelve rear admirals, twenty captatns, twenty commanders, 150 Meutenants, 180 sub- leutenants and ensigns, and fifty, midship- men, or 433 line officers; besides these, there are about ninety paymasters, eight surgeons, and 230 engineers, or 404 staff officers. There are some twenty-five marine officers and 600 marines. The sailors number 3,200 seamen, 30 warrant officers, and 1,500 apprentices, making a total of 5,050. The rebels are also probably in control of the navy yard at Rio, where a complete plant for the building of steel cruisers has been established, and tronclads of moderate dimensions can’ be constructed and thor- oughly repaired. All native work is done in the navy yards by the government. Story of the Bombardment. Buenos Ayres, Argentina, via Galveston, ‘Texas, Sept. 14—The rebel fleet under Cus- todio Jose Mello fulfilled his threat and op- ened fire on the fort comanding the entrance to Rio yesterday. After bombarding the fort, the guns of the hostile fleet, the Aquidaban, the Repub- lea and the Trojano were turned on the city. The arsenal was aparently the main point of attack, and many shells were thrown at It. A Landing Party Repulned. An attempt to make a landing was re- pulsed. Both sides met with losses, but the details have not been learned. The captain of the gunboat Alacoas de- serted from Admiral Mello’s squadron. He hurried to Rio and there gave information to President Piexotto of the movement of the rebel ships. All points which were favorable to the landing of an invading force were strongly Intrenched. | It is reported that perfect order was maintained in the city during the bom- bardment. The bombardment of the city of Rio lasted from 11 o’clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. But littie damage was caused. ‘The ships opened fire on the city again today, but the result was the same as that of yesterday's attack. A messenger sent from President Plexot- to to the Brazilian minister here states that it is expected that the rebel ships will sur- render in a few days. Brazilian residents here, however, doubt this. Surprise is expressed here that the foreign fleet in the harbor would permit the bom- bardment of the city . From other sources it is learned that the city is quiet. Brazilian consuls here and in Montevideo dispatch vessels freely for Brazilian ports, ‘Thetr operations after arriving at Rio are carried on under the protection of warships of the nationality of the flug they fly. A Sea Fight Expected. The interdiction on clearing vessels for Brazil applies only to those under the Brazil- fan flag. Telegraphic service is still suspended, The German gunboats, the Alexandrina and Arcona, have sailed for Rio. There was much enthusiasm manifested by Piexotto’s forces who still remain loyal to him.The warship Tiradentes, which still remains loyal, has put to sea. It Is expected she will ‘meet the armed merchant schooner Itacoa, which was to ald the rebel fleet. If the two vessels meet a desperate sea fight {s inevitable. The loyal ship Bahia has been ordered back from Panama, as the upper river squadron remains loyal. All of the news in this dispatch emanates from government sources. Students With the Rebel: The students in San Pablo have declared against President Piexotto. All the foreign ships in the harbor remain neutral, and have decided not to interfere in the revo- lution. I tried to send a mesage to Rio, but the government refused to allow its transmis- ston beyond Porto Alegre. Nothing unfav- orable to Plexotto is allowed to pass over the wires. Brazillans living in Buenos Ayres believe that the success of the revolution means the restoration of the monarchy. The British telegraph offices are situated near the arsenal, and the staff of operators, fearing the building would be shelled, aban- doned thelr post. It has been for this reason impossible to get details of the bombard- ment. Decline to Dispatch Vessels. Consuls for Great Britain in this city and Montevideo decline to dispatch vessels for any port in Brasil except Santos. ‘The coasting steamer Deslerio was de- tained at Montevideo last night just as she was getting under way. The Brazilian min- ister requested that this action be taken as he had on board supplies for the rebel war vessels under command of Admiral Mello. Commercial houses have protested to the foreign ministers against the suppression of telegraphic communication with Rio. e+ NEW YORK POLITICS. The Democratic Opposition to Judge Maynard’s Nomination. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ALBANY, N. Y., Sept. 14, 1898. Within the past three weeks the political conditions in this state have changed very materially. Three weeks ago there was no Prospect of an open outbreak between the two democratic factions in this state. The Cleveland people were content with the vietory of last year. They had thought only of seeking offices. The Hill people saw that they were content with what they were receiving and therefore expected no trouble in the present campaign. But a firebrand seems to have been tossed into the political woodplle in the shape of a nominee for judge of the court of appeals. ‘The leaders of the machine intend to nomi- nate Isaac H. Maynard. ‘The very mention of his name Is distaste- ful to the Independent element because of his connection with the Duchess county election case in 1891. They claim that his connection with that case was dishonor- able. They opposed his appointment to the bench when made by Gov. Flower. They have criticised his presence upon the bench since then and they now stand ready to give effect to their position by working against his candidacy during the campaign and by opposing him at the polls. In-fact, they look upon his nomination as an in- tended affront to them by the machine. Weak an a Prohibitionist. Entirely apart from this opposition Judge Maynard has another source of weakness which caused his defeat when a candidate for secretary of state in 1883. He is a well known prohibitionist in principle and in practice. The prominence given his belief by the anti-prohibitionists in the campaign of 18 caused Maynard to run behind all his associates on the state ticket. Judge Maynard ran 34,000 votes behind the lowest of his associates on the ticket that year and ran about 38,000 votes behind Robert Maxwell, who that year ran for the office of state treasurer. The two elements combined, the independents and the anti- prohibitionists, against Maynard's candi- dacy makes him a rather doubtful nominee. There will also be many strict party dem- ocrats who vote always with the party as @ matter of principle who will oppose May- nard’s candidacy and will cut him at the polls. was this intention of the machine, to nominate Maynard, that has been seized as an excuse for the guerilla-like warfare that has been created in different counties of the state between the two factions. The Cleve- land people know that the President will not sanction any opposition to the regular nominations of the regular organization, but the personal influence and the power that he ts able to wield in his official capacity cannot suppress the factional fights that have started. The Two Democratic Factions. Cleveland and Hill, respectively, gave name to two different factions in the de- mocracy of this state, but should either or both of these men die the differences which were created under their personal leadership end because of the differences in policy of the two men the contest a tinued today and have as much effec! 35 though the two men in person led the factions. The differences are irreconcilable. They are different in men and in principles, and the same spirit animates them now that was shown in the ente-convention campaign of ‘8. ‘Already open’ outbreaks have occurred in several other principal counties of the state. ‘The most significant one has occurred in Monroe Sbunty, ‘The contest there has taken the shape of a fight for the election of delegates to the state convetion. The Cleveland element, headed by John B. Howe, the editor of the Rochester Herald, ts at the present time ahead. They have cap- tured the caucuses, the county convention and the delegates, but the Hill people, backed by the assurance of the leaders of the organization, have changed the rules governing the holding of caucuses in the county, so that new caucuses and a new county convention is necessary. They will hold new caucuses and a second conven- tion, and whether they are outnumbered or not will send a delegation to the state convention, which will be seated. In Clinton county, the home of Smith M. Weed, a fight on ‘the same line is being carried on. In that county the officers of the state administration are taking part. The warden of Clinton prison, recent appointee of Senator Murphy's, the state assemblyman from Clinton county, a mem- ber of the forest commission, also re- cent appointee of Senator Murphy, and the state mining inspector, Mkewise’ an ap- pointee of Senator Murphy, and naturally opposed to Weed, are using every means in their power to balk Mr. Weed in hi purpose of sending his own delegates to the state convention. A contesting delega. tion will be sent from Clinton county by organization people since Mr. Weed has al ready carried the primaries and it is said that this delegation will also be seated. ‘The same sort of a fight is being carried on in Yates county. There the Cleveland leaders have come out ahead, but as a con- testing delegation will be sent from that county it is probable that the same policy will be pursued in this instance as in the others, and the organization delegates seated. ‘All these indications are significant of the feeling that exists. In some counties the Cleveland element is not large enough in numbers to make a successful fight at the polis, but if the warfare is continued and carried on as relentlessly as it has begun the differences will be carried to the poll. There is a large number of the so-called Clevelandites throughout the state who are dormant except when there is such a strife as has now begun. When they enter the fleld they usually stay and it looks at pres- ent as if the entire body of voters of this faction would be called into play before the campaign closes. General Prospects of the Democrats. A careful review of the situation shows that the only danger threatened at present is the defeat of the probable nominee for Judge of the court of appeals. The senate and assembly may be endangered, but not seriously. The democrats are almost cer- tain of securing eighteen seats in the sen- ate, which is @ majority of two, and of se- curing at least sixty-eight seats in the as- sembly, which is a majority of eight. They will, therefore, control both branches of the legislature. ‘There is no opposition to the candidacy of those mentioned now for the other state offices to be filled this year. The nominees for secretary of state, controller, for state treasurer, for engineer and surveyor are all_men ‘who command the confidence of the people. They are identified with the state machine, but their candidacy will not be made an issue. The only doubtful feat- ure concerning their election consists in the element of weakness which the presence of Judge Maynard on the ticket will lend ——.__. ST. ANDREW'S BROTHERHOOD.
