RELATIONS WITH INDIAN TERRITORY. Attitude of the Members of the Five Indian Tribes. THE MANY NON-CITIZENS. Correspondence of The Evening Star. GUTHRIE, O. T., Nov. 5, 1893. The question of statehood is now absorb- ing the attention of the people of this terri- tory. Not only are the citizens of Okla- homa proper anxious to be added to the states of the Union, but the “non-citizens” among the five civilized tribes recognize that statehood embracing all the Indian lands with Oklahoma is their only hope for securing equal rights with their red- skin neighbors. The people of the territory are earnestly working for statehood and great interest is centered in Washington, because of the fact that four distinct bills were on the calendar of the last Congress providing for statehood. Some of them favor separate statehood for Oklahoma and for Indian ter- ritory, Others favor one state taking in all, Thousands of Non-Citisens. Among the five civilized tribes are thou- sands of “non-citizens,” as they are call- ed—white men, unrelated in any way with the Indians—who can see no chance for progress for themselves under present con- ditions. The citizens of the civilized tribes are opposed to statehood as they under- stand the subject, and object to the allot- ment of their lands as it has been carried on among other Indian tribes. The state- hood _ agitators this desire that the lands of the citizens of the five tribes be divided into severalty, without allotment, that is, that the whole of the lands be equally divided among all the members of the tribes. They desire that the homesteads be made inalienable and that each person shall be allowed to sell as much of the remainder of his land as he chooses, There are, however, in the tribes a large number of white men who have secured tribal relations and rights by intermar- riage and a large number of mixed bloods who oppose any change from the present | system. As the matter stands with them | now every man is entitled to as much land jas he can fence in and in this way the white citizens and those of mixed blood have been enabled by their superior busi- ness sagacity to fence the ignorant full bloods off the valuable bottom lands and up onto the high and worthless uplands, which are hardly fit for grazing purposes. These tribesmen have a system of self-govern- ment which, while it is advantageous to some of them, is a menace and disgrace to the nation at large. It hardly comports with American ideas of government to have within the nation's borders autonomies which practically owe no allegiance to the common cause. This fs the itate of af- fairs in the five tribes. That their govern- ment is a dismal failure the constantly re- curring reports of mismanagement of these nations and a consequent injustice to those whom it is the duty of the United States to protect will testify. As a matter of fact, the whole affair is a comic opera situation, from calling the citizens of the five tribes “Indians” their mé of self-govern- ment. But Few Full Blood: For example, the Chickasaw nation, the most important of them all, has, accord- ing to the census of 189, a population of 3,464 “Indians.” Of these less than 300 are full bloods, the rest being mixed bloods or whites with tribal relations. Many of the mixed bloods are so white that it is hard to credit the idea that they possess a drop of Indian blood. The white popu- lation in the Chiskasaw country in 1890 was 49,444. Among the Cherokees there are 26,000 In- dians, of whom less than 20,0 are full bloods. The same ratio obtains among other tribes, As strange as it may seem, it is a fact, nevertheless, that there are more blanket Indians in Okfihoma than in Indian ter- ritory, and that more genuine Indians are seen on the streets of Oklahoma City and Guthrie than in any two towns in any of the so-called Indian territory. The situation is made worse by the fact that among all of these tribes are thou- sands of citizens of the United’ States, called “non-citizens,” who have no voice in the government; who are heavily taxed for the privilege of living; who have no school privileges for their children, Yet they are the men who are doing the practical work of building up and developing the resources of the territory. In the cities of Ardmore and Purcell, south of Oklahoma proper, are business men who have erected valuable buildings on lands to which they cannot have any title, and on which a flimsy lease, executed to an Indian landlord, runs from year to year. It is, therefore, the “non-citizen” element in the Indian territory which has accom- plished all that has been done in the coun- try, and these men are not allowed to pur- chase homes or educate their children, while intermarried whites or those with a microscopic dilution of Indian blood hold from 10,000 to 40,000 acres of land and are landlords with hundreds of tenants. The Mixed Judictary. The judiciary of the Indian territory is a badly patched up affair. There are five conflicting sources of justice. The Indians themselves have local jurisdictions, con- nected with which are barbarous whippings and executions by shooting. The Indian agents are empowered to enforce certain federal statutes and have an Indian police carry out their orders. Two distinct United States courts, one at Paris, Tex., and one at Fort Smith, Ark., have the power of life and death over the people of Indian territory, the home federal court of these people being little more than a big | justice of the peace’s shop. The Indian territory is a country ex- in natural resources, pro- grown in the rich to backward, unwilliug and adult pupils. Prof. Hopkins place, near 20th and P’ a.w. =k? —| MME. J.

Seventy-five invitations were issued, | but only fifty ministers and laymen were | expected to be present. Kev. Dr. S.

At present the money appropriated by the United States for territorial government is $17,900, out of i the nd a secretary, the ecretary's office and a con- expenses of the tincent fund. Educational Interests Demand Self- Government. The educational interests of both terri- tories would m to demand self-govern- ment. In the present situation of affairs in Oklahoma the avenues through which in- dividuals and communities are educated are obstructed at every step. It is impossible under the territorial rule to establish a pop- ular system of common school education. There are no grants of land that can be properly used for that purpose. These will in Oklahoma realizing | only be made contemporaneous with state- hood. There are no asylums for the insane and the blind and no institutions for char- itable or philanthropic purposes. There are no proper places for the confinement of ériminals and no relief from the multitudi- nous public burdens, which should be prop- erly borne by the state. In the spring of 18% two, and possibly three, Indian reservations, comprising 7,225 square miles, will be thrown open to settle- ment, and an enormous influx of people will be added to the already more than sufficient number of people necessary to demand statehood, not as a gift, but as a right. The Chickasaw nation of the Five Tribes, owing to its proximity and surrounding influences, is more closely allied to the combined state- hood movement in Oklahoma than any of the other civilized tribes. The Osages are more nearly linked with the action of the Five Tribes, the Choctaws, the Cherokees, the Creeks, Chickasaws and Seminoles, which desire separate statehood. According to Oklahomans, all should be included in the one state of Oklahoma. The Question of Tribal Relations. While statehood advocates claim that the boundaries of the new state should include the Creeks, Osages, Seminoles, Choctaws and Cherokees, who occupy the entire east- ern part of the teritory, it is a question if the tribal relations of all these Indians could be extinguished immediately. These tribes rank high in civilization, but their contentious spirit has developed with their intelligence. Thus far they have been fully able to cope with the federal government in every species of intrigue and every condition of politics. They are able to meet the re- quirements of statehood government, and the question of its application rests solely with Congress. Thus far they have been able to defeat such legislation on its every attempt, and their astuteness, as well as their other methods of influence, have not diminished in power. ‘The Indiv: alization of La: Recently, however, the Chickasaws have experienceé a change of heart with regard to statehood. They favor what they call the “individualization of land,” that is, that the entire acreage of the nation be equally divided among them and patents be issued to all at once. At a recent statehood con- vention at Purcell fifteen representatives of the nation pledged themselves to work for joint statehood. As a matter of fact, however, the majority of the citizens of the various nations do not favor statehood, as they say they do not wish to be made a tail to Oklahoma’s kite. it is claimed on the other hand that the citizens of the five na- tions would largely outvote Oklahoma. At a statehood convertion held by the Cher- okees not long since at Muskogee joint statehood with Oklahoma was defeated by only one vote. The citizens of the five tribes when they realize that it is not the intention of Okla- homa to advocate the taking away of their lands, but, on the other hand, to make them immeasurably richer, by the individualiza- tion of their lands, at the same time in- creasing their value by giving them the pro- tection of good and economical state gov- ernment, will certainly acquiesce and con- sent to join in the statehood movement. But they are not yet convinced that state- hood means greater wealth and prosperity for them, and until they are they will op- pose it. The territory of Oklahoma ts prepared, in point of population, area and every other requisite, to enter into statehood, and if the nations of the five tribes are added thereto it will make one of the most,pro- gressive and one of the richest states of the Union. —_——— WRECKED IN A FOG. Fatal Rear-E: Collision on the Rails im Chicago. By a rear-end collision on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad last even- ing at Tist street, Chicago, five people were killed and eleven injured. Passenger train No. ll, known as the limited vestibuled express, crashed into the rear end of a Blue Island accommo- dation, badly wrecking two coaches and the engine. The trains left on time. The accommo- dation stopped at ist street to receive and let off passengers. Close behind it | was the limited express, bearing down on it the rate of twenty miles an hour. A heavy fog had settled over the city early in the evening and it was almost im- possible, trainmen said, to clearly discern signal lights. The, engine of the express train plowed its way into the rear coach of the accom- modation, being forced between the two sides like a wedge. The car was picked up and carried forward, so great was the momentum, force into the end of the second coach from the rear. The explosion of the lamp ignited the wood work in the debris and the fire soon began to spread at a lively rate. TWENTY LIVES LOST. Only Seven Men Escaped From Burned Steamer Fraser. Full particulars are lacking of the burn- ing of the steamer Fraser on Lake Nipis- sing, but it is reported that twenty per- sons lost their lives by the disaster. The Fraser caught fire about three miles from Goose Island, and a panic probably ensued among her crew, as only seven men were saved out of those aboard. ‘The burning boat was sighted from Frank bay by Capt. Burrell and an Indian, who jumped into a sail boat and hastened to the assistance of the imperiled crew, but by the time they reached the spot the Fraser was burned to the water's edge. Seven survivors had succeeded in reaching | the scow which the Fraser had in tow, and these were rescued. The boat's hull sank in about twenty-five feet of water, and the only thing now marking the scene | of disaster is a short piece of the stack extending above the water. The large loss of life was due to the fact that the engine was not stopped before the engineer was driven away by flames. In consequence the Fraser continued to plow through the water at a furious pace, and as the steering gear was out of reach the steamer’s course was so erratic that it was impossible for the crew to save themselves. A life boat, launched and occupied by a number of men, was caught under the wheel and immediately swamped. The steamer was en rote from Callendar to Davison & Hayes’ camp, on the western end of the lake. On board were a number of men who were going to work at the lumber camps. The steamer was owned by Davison, Hayes & Co. of Toronto. ps a RETURNED AFTER 40 YEARS. Samuel R. Crawford's Unexpected Ap- pearance May Cause Some Trouble. Samuel Brownsville, Pa., after an absence of forty- three years. His presence is likely to cause considerable trouble to fully a dozen prop- erty owners in the county. When he left his father was living, and he also had a brother named Ephraim, who was younger than himself. Samuel had some property, and would have fallen heir to half of his father’s large estate. When his father died he divided his property equally between his two sons, providing Samuel could be fqund. Samuel had placed a will in the hands of Justice Booth providing for a distribution of his own property and his share of the estate, to be executed in case he should die away from home. Yeurs went by and the missing son did not show up. His friends finally declared him dead, and after Justice Booth’s death the will was placed in the hands of Mat- thew Storey, who disposed of the property. Several years ago Ephraim, his brother, died, leaving his property to his son. The estate included a fine farm on the edge of the borough and a lot of coal property on the Monongahela river, which has in the meantime been sold to coal operators, be- sides a lot of small real estate in the bor- ough. Bamuel Crawford, who now lays claim to the property, is a gray-haired man of sev- enty years. From the time he left, forty- three years ago, until last Friday, he has not been heard of. He has taken legal ad- vice, and will take steps to recover posses- sion of his property. TO ADVERTISERS.

TT HAS NOT YET BEEN FULFILLED. Most of Those Interested Are Still Alive, STORY OF THE GREAT TRIAL. The trial of Charles J. Guiteau, the as- | sassin of President James A. Garfield, and | the many unusual and peculiar incidents attending the assassin’s trial and struggle to escape the penalty of his crime will ever remain matters of intense interest, not only to the people of this country, but also, and hardly less so, to the people of every civilized land. More than twelve years have passed since the man’s deed startled and horrified the world, more than eleven years have passed since the murderer paid the dreadful penalty of the law upon the scaf- fold, and men differ now, as-they differed | then and will differ for perhaps all time | to come, as to the assassin’s degree of men- | tal responsigility. But while the country had hoped, as Judge Cox explained to the assassin in imposing sentence, that the jury | would find that the man was not mentally | responsible for his deed, their verdict de- | stroyed that hope. That the jury’s verdict was not unani- mously approved of, even in this country, | cannot be denied, although few indeed were those who questioned its correctness and | justness. But, nevertheless, the propriety lof the verdict was questioned by some, | both here and. elsewhere throughout the | country, and when Guiteau, upon the ren- | dition of the verdict which condemned him | to die, and again upon being sentenced, | | the nature of the act and its consequences, | and had entire control of your action: | you forget tha’ would have left people in the satisfying be- lief that the crime of political assassination was something entirely foreign to the in- stitutions and civilization of this country. But the result of your trial has denied peo- ple of that comfort, and it is only left to the country to accept the fact that even that crime may be committed, and it is for the courts to deal with it by imposing the highest penalty known to the criminal code in order to deter others from following so vicious an example. Your career has been So extraordinary that people may have well doubted your sanity, but the jury believed that at the time of the act you understood Your motive pulse to the commission of the this may seem insanity to some the law looks upon it as a willful Judge Cox then concluded by directing Guiteau be taken back to the District jail, and there be closely confined until Friday, June 30, 1882, when, within the walls of the jail, between the hours of noon and 2 p. m., e should be hanged by the neck until dead. As the judge concluded the awful sentence of the law with the invocation, “And may God have mercy upon your soul,” Guiteau’s rage burst forth again, and, with glaring, angry’ eyes, he exclaimed: “I am a good deal better off today than that jury. God Almighty will curse every man who hes had anything to do with this case. Don’t rts to Obtain a Respite. An appeal was noted, and on the Sth of the following May it was heard by the Court in General Term, Chief Justice Cartter, and Justices MacArthur, Hagner and James. At this hearing Chas. H. Reed represented Guiteau. On the 224 of that month the court rendered its decision, Jus- | tices Hagner and James delivering the opin- ion, denying the motion for a new trial and affirming the judgment of the trial court. On the 34 of the following month, President Arthur having been petitioned to grant Guiteau a respite in order to allow an in- quiry as to his sanity, Attorney General Benjamin Harris Brewster advised the President to deny the petition, and it was accordingly denied. The last effort to save Guiteau from death on the scaffold fafled just eleven duys before the execution, when Mr. J ice Bradley of the United States Supreme Court denied an application for Guiteau’s release by writ of habeas cozpus, the writ being based on the ground of wapt of jurisdiction by the trial court; it being contended on his behalf that while the fatal called down upon every one who had been | shot was fired in Washington, the death of and was driven with terrible | R.

Story of the Trial. President Garfield was shot Saturday morning, July 2, 188, while just about to teke a train, in company with his Secretary of State, James G. Blaine, at the Baltimore and Potomac depot in this city. He died at Elberon, N. J., the 19th of the following | September. Guiteau was indicted here Oc- tober 8, 1881, On the 14th of that month he was arraigned, and plead not guilty. Ex- actly one month later, November 14, 1881, | his trial was begun in the District Criminal Court, Judge Walter 8, Cox presiding. The seiection of the jury, as mignt well be imagined, was a matter of exceedingly yr difficulty. After several days spent the effort to obtain a jury of twelve im- partial men, good and true, the jury was completed as follows: John P. Frederick W. Brandenberg, Henry J. Bright, Charles T. Stewart, Thomas H. Langley, Michael Sheehan, Samuel F. | Hobbs, W. Gates, Ralph Wormley, Witten H. Brawner, Thomas Heiniine and joseph Prather. The government was resented by District Attorney George Corkhill, Walter W. Da’ , John K. Porter and Edwin B. Smith. Guiteau was represented by Mr. Leigh Robinson, who was assigned to his defense by the court, President Garfield occurred in New Jersey. This question of jurisdiction was one which gave the prosecution no little trouble and caused great anxiety throughout the whole country. Indeed, for a while it was widely asserted that the assassin could be tried neither in New Jersey nor in the Dis- trict of Columbia, and it is a remarkable fact that one of the two assistants of Dis- trict Attorney Corkhili, Mr. Hugh T. Tag- gart, to whom was delegated the drawing the indictment, had, pzeviour to iis connec- | tion with the case, in a widely-quoted ar- | ticle contended that the courts of both New | Jersey and the District of Columbia were without jurisdiction. But after his connec- tion with the case and because of an ex- haustive research of American and English authorities, this lawyer became convinced that his former opinion in the matter was an erroneous one, and the result was an in- dictment which not only successfully with- stood evéry attack upon it, but also one which has ever since been quoted as one of to American and English law. The Jersey authorities, it wjll be recalled, were rot permitted to hold an inquest on the body of the murdered President, body was brought here in order coroner of the District might death and legally fasten the The last effort to save Guiteau from and by Mr. George Scoville, the prisoner’s brother-in-law. From the very inaugura- uon of the trial and during the more than two months it continued hardly an hour | Seat beside his counsel and interrupt judge, | witnesses and counsel. So violent were counsel for the government and for the de- | fense urged the court to take some effect- | ive measures to restrain and suppress him. But not even the entreaties of his own counsel or the oft-repeated threats of Judge ox of removal from the room could si- | tence or quiet the prisoner, and at length court and counsel ceased ‘their entreaties and threats and allowed the assassin prac- | tically unlimited vent of feeling and utter- ance. Perhaps one of the most remarkable | outbreaks of Guiteau was when, during Mr. Porter's address to the jury, he arose and by excitedly exclaiming: “On the 2d of July, and for thirty days before that, I was insane. That act was an insane act. That is what I have always said about it.” Again during Mr. Porter's address the pris- is my case. That was the ground upon those men were acquitted.” On Wednesday, January 2%, 1882, Judge Cox made his memorable charge to the jury, a charge which has justly become famous because of its fairness, exhibited | learning and the definition of legal respon- | sibilitv. A charge, too, which has been j Quoted in many a famous trial since, and | which is recognized and acknowledged to | be one of the greatest authorities upon the | Points involved, both in American and | English law. Not even during Judge Cox's charge to the jury did Guiteau fail to make the vehement and violent interruptions so characteristic of the man during the pre- | ceding days of the trial. It has been well said that Judge Cox's charge, bolled down | to one single and all-important instruction, was, that if Guiteau was, at the time of | the commission of his deed, capable of real- izing that what he was doing was wrong, he was guilty of the charge for which he stood indicted. The Verdict of the Jury. Judge Cox concluded his charge at 4:35 on the afternoon of January 2%, 1882, and the jury immediately retired to their room to deliberate upon their verdict. At 5:40 p. m. they returned to the court room, | when,in response to the clerk’s formal inqui- ry, Foreman John P. Hamlin, in a clear, dis- tinct voice, answered that Guiteau was “Guilty as indicted.” For a few moments Guiteau remained quiet, as if stunned by the realization of his situation. Then, after | the jury had, at the request of his counsel, been polled, and each member had answered as had Foreman Hamlin, the prisoner | sprang to his feet and cried out in rage: “My blood be on the head of that jury. Don’t you forget it. That is my answer. God will avenge this outrage.” The following Guiteau’s counsel entered a motion for a new trial. One week later that motion was argued, Judge Cox promptly overruling it. That done, District Attorney Corkhill moved that the sentence of law, the death penalty, be imposed. At | the bidding of Judge Cox, Guiteau arose, | and, being asked if he had anything to why sentence should not be then passed upon him, said: “I’m not guilty, sir, of the | charge set forth in the indictment. It was God's act and not mine, and God will take care of it, and don’t the American forget it; and gods grind slow, but they grind sure. Those Jews put the despised Gallilean into the grave, and they had their way for « little time, but at the destruction of Jerusalem, forty years after, the Almighty got even with them. I tell you I am here as God's man. I have no fear of death, Kill me tomorrow, if you wan't to. [I am here as God's man, and have been from the start, I care not what men shall do with me.” Guiteau’s passionate, angry words were patiently heard by Judge Cox witheut in- terruption or comment, and then the after briefly referring to his crime and 1 fair and impartial trial he had recelved, proceeded to say: “It would have been a comfort to man; if the verdict ef this had ed the fact that eet was that ef ‘responsible Tas, passed that Guiteau did not rise from his | these interruptions at times that both the | interrupted the counsel for the government | oner excitedly declared: “Transitory mania | which Sickles and McFarland and all | ing the dreadful penalty of his crime bav- \ing failed, he was executed on the day |named, Friday, June 30, 188%, within the | walls of the District jail, and the lon which he died still remains standing ‘here in almost precisely the same condi- | tion it stood then, many murderers having paid the penalty of thetr crimes on it since | that day so memorable in American his- |" The Curse Not Falfiitea. Whatever may have been thought of the | curse uttered by Guiteau at the time, and | many shuddered as it fell from his lips, 4t {is nevertheless true that it has yet to be fulfilled, for with several exceptions those |responsible for his conviction and death not cniy still live, but what is more they | Still enjoy the blessings common to life. |The district attorney, George B.

Taggart, drew the indictment, and Gen. Crocker, the warden of the District | jail at the time, and who, under the jude- ment of the court, executed the murderer. On the other hand, Chas, H.
