COCKERELL'S "SOONER" BILL
It Passed the Senate Yester«taj. but Will
SrareelyUet Thruugh tlie House
Tills MhIuii.
Washington, August 2H. —(Special |
What is known as the Senator Cocker-
eli "sooner" bill paaied the senate
today It has for its purpose the re-
lief of those who have been designated
"soonars" in the oklahoma country.
According to the ruling of the depart-
ment recently made, one who was
found a sooner ' iu attempting to en-
ter upon any land prior to the opening
to settlement, cannot enter land in
any other reservation at any other
time, lieing a "sooner" once is made
to mean by the ruling that it is "soon-
er" always, and not eligible to take a
claim at any time. It so happens that
many of those who became "sooners"
at the first opening of lan 1 to settle-
ment in the Oklahoma country have
sines taken lauds iu other reservations,
when they complied with the law.
Hut the former violation of the law is
made to follow them and defeat them
in their efforts to get a claim.
It is estimated that there are 4,000
settlers in oklahoma who are affected
by this ruling of the department. In
order to overcome the trouble origin-
ating from this decision. Senator
Cockerell championed a bill providing
that every homestead claim on land
n the territory of Oklahoma initiated
by settlement or entry more than
three months after such lands were
opened to settlement and every claim
whenever initiated, if no contest was
raised against it for one year after it
was initiated, and the land, in the
....•antime, was in undisputed posses-
sion of the homestead claimant, shall,
in the absence of any other objection
be held valid and approved, notwith
standing the homestead's claimant
entered said territory before the hour
when said lands became open to settle-
ment pursuant to the act of congress
entitled, "An act making appropria-
tions for the current and contingent
expenses of the Indian department,
and for fulfilling treaty stipulations
with various Indian tribes and for oth-
er purposes," approved March 2, ISS'J,
provided that claimant shall satisfy
the commissioner of the general land
oflice that his premature entry and
occupancy were not made with wilful
purpose to violate the law.
While the bill passed the senate to-
day, it is certain that it will not get
through this session. Many are anx-
ious to get it through, and at the
same time there is violent opposition
among others, who insist that once a
sooner always a signer, and that entry-
rights should under no conditions bt
conferred. The bill will make a very
lively tight for the next session in tli
house.

been here some time looking after the
interests of his town in the tight to
secure additional court facilities for
the Indian Territory, and also the lo
cation of one of the courts at his town
has left for home.
lie stated that he had been assured
by three members of the house that
they would not allow the bill to pass
this session, it appears that the
colonel is uow anxious to defeat legis-
lation this session, in the hope that by
renewing the war next sessiou he will
be rewarded with results.
He announces that Mr. llailey alone,
of Teaas, can be relied upon to defeat
the bill, owing to his desire to have
I the clause in the bill allowing individ
uals to briug suit against ludiau
tribes, which was cut out by the coin
mittee. The effort will be made by
1 the friends of the bill to get it through
the U*)use, despite the fact that they
are threatened with defeat. 1 here is

the defeat rest where it belongs.
The wires have been used very
freelv by parties in the Indian terri-
tory'asking that the bill be passed
this session. Many messages have
been received by members of the com-
mittee on judiciary anil others in the
house urging final and favorable ac-
tion. It is insialed that the interests
of 70,00(1 people in that territory are
involved in the bill, and that its pass-
age is a matter of vital importance.

„ ASUINUTON, Aug. 21. The senate
finance committee held a brief sessiou
to-dav and ordered favorable reports
,11 the four separate tariff bills passed
bv the house a week ago. In accord-
aiice with this order, when the senate
met Mr. Harris reported the bills. In
cjuiries were made us to what hud be-
>me of the amendments offered to tlie
sugar bill, but Mr. Harris suid it was
not usual to report back amendments
rejected in committee.
Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, gave notice
that if the sugar bill was called up at
this session he would offer an amend
ment re-enacting the wool schedule of
lS'.IO.
The bills placing wool, coal and Iron
on the free list were ordered placed on
the calendar and the senate went into
executive session, but owing to the
lack of a quorum, adjourned tiH Wed
nesilay.
The sugar bill us agreed upon was
amended so as to provide for a duty of
40 i>er cent, straight on su-^ar without
any differential on refined sugar or any
extra duty on sugar imported from
countries paying a bounty. It Is the
Jones amendment except that his
amendment provided for only .SO per
cent. The idea of democratic members
,.f tlie committee is that this rate would
furnish sufficient revenue without giv-
ing the su^ur trust any advantage.
The coal bill was so amended aa
to provide for reciprocity on this
article by the admission free of duty
of coal imported from countries which
luiit coal from this country free,
foul imported from countries that im-
pose a duty on American coal is to be
made dutiable at the rate in existence
when the bill should go into effect.
The amendment to the barbed wire
bill provides for the free admission of
barbed wire and ull other fencing wire
and the rods from which they are
made.
The free iron ore bill was not
amended.
The republican members of the com-
mittee offered amendments of their
own to tlie bill. One of these was
t hat presented in the senate by Sena-
tor Hill for the repeal of the Income
tax. They also sought to have the
revenue duty supplanted by a provi-
sion for free sugar with a bounty.
They voted solidly against the bills
but did not seek to delay the report
upon them.
Senator White attended upon the
committee meeting for the first time
and acted in perfect harmony with the
older democratic members.
