PRESIDENT NOT OPPOSED.

Washington, Jan. 16.—Senator Foraker
•ays: "It la not true that President
Roosevelt Is opposed to tho oinnlbun hill.
He recommended the bill In his tin ssitge
before It was offered In tho house of rep
fesen tat Ives. He favored Its passage last
year. He has not changed his mind on
the subject. It Is true that many mis rep
resentatlons have been made to him and
consequently the president has been hold-
ing off while Investigating allegations con
cernlng the motives of the founders of the
omnibus hill. We welcome Investigation-
and are sure of the president's approval
of the bill after it has been passed, as it
iwlll be soon."
FEATURE OF THIS WEKK.
Washington, Jan. 26.—Tho feature of
this week in the senate will be tho con-
tinuation of the contest over the state-
hood bill. The lines are now more closely
drawn than they have ever been on this
bill. They are, indeed, so taut that all
onlookers realise that they are about to
lirenk. The advocates of statehood are
much encouraged by the vote of last week,
end. contending that it has been demon-
strated that there is a majority .if the
genata favorable to the bill, they declare
that it Is preposteioua to ask tln-m to yield
while the opposition urge that the vote
!was not a test at all and no real Indication
of thfc attitude of the senate it Is prob-
able, however, that, with • ouu> exceptions,
• t times, the omnibus hill will hold its
place in the front ranks during the week.
Senator Quay haa more than once Indi-
cated his Intention oft^klng the senate to
"alt continuously," which means thai he
is contemplating night sessions. The gen
crnl understanding among the friends of
the measure Is that tha prolonged session
test will come early In the week, poaslblv
about Tuesday night, but tho Pennsvl*
vanla senator so far his foiled to m ike
authoritative announcement on that point
Senator Quay now asserts his intention
to press the bill more industriously than
In the past, nnd the opposition is Just as
pronounced in Its declaration of intention
to resist Its passage. They say that tha
Mil cannot pass, and some of them an-
nounce that they would rather take the
responsibility for an extra session of con-
gress than have the statehood bill become
a law.
It Is admitted that the supporters of the
of the bill will taken a bold atand against
hood bill.

For Colds-La Grippe!
Protect jouwlf, ruU don't trust to
Providence. Considering the harm
done, "neglect" before and after taking
a cold is a physical crime. You may
prevent a cold, or, if too late, you can
iUMure yourself against tho "after ef-

by using Dr. J larter'sIron Tonic. Few
die from Colds, or I,a Grippe, or Ca-:
tarrh. They die of the after effects.,
These diseases all weaken, and to a
weakened body come flocking a host of
diaeaiea that fasten on weak lungs,
heart, stomach, kidneys, and other
weak parts that we seldom think of.
The easiest aud best thing to do is to
fortify the system so that you will not
catch cold, hut if too late to do that,
then you must see that na lasting in-

agree that iron is the lighting elementof

to ward off disease, but to fight it after

INDIAN TREATIES

J5pecial Dispatch to the State Capital.
Vinita, I. T„ Jan. 26.—Col. T. B.
ts'eedles, member of the Dawes com-
'tnlssion, says there will bo no more
Choctaw and Chickasaw treaties; that
«ho present treaties with these uations
•re ample for the complete settlement
of their affairs. There may be an-
other Chcroffco treaty, as the legisla-
tive council of tho Cherokee nation
gecently passed an act asking for an-
other treaty and the matter was refer-
red to the secretary of tho Interior for
&ls approval. This treaty may pass.
The Iudlan Inspector has submitted
the matter to the secretary, but it has
*iot been learned what action has been
•taken by tho department in the mat-
Aer. This treaty is for the purpose of
'tnalclng a disposition of the public
buildings of the Cherokee nation and
«o provide for the equalization of
'Cherokee allotments out of the sur-
-|)!u lands. The old treaty prescribes
ihat these tilings shall be done, but
fails to flx the manner in which it
jphali bs done.

WILL ABANDON PLAN.
Washington, Jan. 24.—The opponents of
the omnibus statehood bill are seriously
lerlng an abandonment of their plan
ie effort of Senator CJuay to
gei a voce on the bill.
Only the assent of probably three promi-
nent senators to the plan now stands in
the way of an agreement to let the vote
be taken ln the second or third week of
February
The fight which Quay has made for the
bill has quite disarmed the opposition.
On good authority It was stated today
thnt a definite proposition had been made
to Senator tjuay to accent the second Sat-
urday In February as the date when the
bill should be voted on. and in Murn for
this agreement he should withdraw all
further opposition to Important legisla-
tion.
WOULD AGREE.
Senator Quay Is quoted as saying that
he would agree to this if there was an
agreement made on the floor of the senate
to this effect, but he would not enter into
such an agreement in the cloakroom. His
position places upon the opposition the
necessity of securing an agreement which
would pratleally involve the entire senate*
Senator yuay Is working with almost
the entire democratic side in his fight
Some elements of hl« strength on that side
want to use the statehood fight to vent
their displeasure ag«4nst the majority.
Notable in this connection Is tne atti-
tude of Senator Bailey of Texas
If the agreement can be arranged, it will
devolve upon the senators opposing the
statehood^bilMo-secure unanimoiur conent
Mr. Quay has manifested a spirit «>f
fairness and toleration that haa quite dis-
armed criticism o fhls methods and has
made the opposition the more impatient
and anxious to checkmate l lm.
Senator Aldrlch, Senator Spooner, Sena-
tor Piatt of Connecticut and S. i ator Bev-
erldge are the senators who are now
landing In the way of a vote on the im-
IlibllH bill. *
They want to hold off with a view. It Is
said, of securing an agreem nt on a bill
which will unite Arizona and New Mexi-
co In a single state If they find that It will
be Impossible to defeat the «ffort to se-
cure a vote on the omnibus bill.
Senator Quay has said that they have

LIES INSTEAD OF NEWS.
Washington. Jan. 24.—The editors of
several newspapers have been instructing
their Washington correspondents to send
them news In behalf of the so . tiled Nel-
son bill; and several correspondents have
been sending lies, instead of news.
The happenings ln this city are beyond
tho control of correspondents, und far be-
yond the control of editors. Th" writer
has been sending news from this news
center for almost thirty years, and he
has never sent news to suit the policy of
any newspaper. Facts, cold facts, and
nothing but facts, ever go forth from this
office.
During the early days of this session of
congress, there was a chance thnt the
older senator might defeat the omnibus
bill; and the readers of this paper were
fully Informed of what Senator Allison
was doing, as well as what he Intended
to do. With Senators Aldrlch of Rhode
Island, Senator Hale of Maine, and Sena-
tor Proctor of Vermont, It has long been
customary for the subtle Allison to steer
tho senate In whatever direction he might
please. Every effort which parliamentary
skill could devise was resorted to, and the
writer believed that the omnibus bill would
be defeated. But. after a ten minute con-
fidential chat with Senator Quay, it be-
came apparent that the old lenders were
up against the kind of a proposition
which they could not defeat, and the read-
ers were so Informed. The old senate
leaders never ran up against such a fight-
ing machine at "Mutt Quay."
NO (TIANCK F<>K STATEHOOD.
Because of facts'pointed out by Senator
Jones of Arkansas, the people of Indian
Terrltor yhaee no chance for statehood
under the so-called Nelson bill; and it
would be useless for editors or other poli-
ticians to deceive the people of the terri-
tory. It would he useless for Washington
correspondents to do lying at space rates,
for nothing good could come of It. Sena-
tor Jones stated plainly and bluntlv that
Indian Territory Is practically friendless
before congress, and, being friendless, need
not expect friends In from the alleged
statesmen. The best measure now fend-
ing for Indian Territory Is the Moon bill;
and the best friend of the Territory Is
Congressman Moon, of Tennessee, who is

QUESTION
| Washington. Jan. 21.— Secretary and
Sir Mlcheal Herbert, the British am-
b, hsador, today signed a treaty provid-
ing lor the settlement of the Alaskan
boundary question. Efforts in this di-
rection have been put forth for a long
time, the pressure coming from both
sides, the Canadian miners being anx-
ious to get through the Klondike to the
fea without passing through Ameri-
can territory aud the Americans insist-
ing upon their right to the coast line
and tho control of the i>orts. The
treity signer! today provides for the
refertnee of all the boundary questions
to a mixed tribunal of Jurists, three on
each side, to determine the interpreta-
tion to be,placed upon tho treaty of
1825 between Great Britain nnd Rus-
sia. which defined the bourtdary be-
tween British America nnd Alaska.
This proposition is virtually the .same
as that brought forward by the Amer-
ican members of the higli joint com-
mission whi'h met in Washington,
three years ago. but which then were
rejected by the British and Canadian
rerreeentntives. It has taken three
years to oLtain the consent of the
British and Canadian governments to
basis. It is understood that the treaty
lias been drawn up after thorough con-
sultation with the leading members of
the senate of both political parties, the
administration desiring to do every-
thing possible in advance to secure its
ratification. The commission proposed
ia curious i:i composition, consisting
of an equal number of members upon
each side without an umpirt or odd
men to east the deciding vote. No other
terms of arbitration would have been
acceptable to the (people of the nortlW
west, who see in this nrrangement a
practicable extinction of any chance of
a decision hostile to their plans. On
the other band, to get a verdict favor-
able :o the American claim our case
must be so strongly preesnted as to
win the support of at least one of the
Canadian contingent.
A treaty will be submitted to the
Unite! States senate very soon, and
an effort wl'l be made to ratify it be-
fore the expiration of the present ses-
sion.
