Butler and Piait will make a minoi ity report, and it is understood they will propose a substitute similar to that submitted in the House by Mr. Barnes, of Georgia. Mr. Cullom gave notice that he would call up Che bill for consideration as soon as the report should be pr nted. The friend of the measure both in and out of the Senate are all at work with a will and confident that the measure will become a law before the close in March.

The majority of the Committee on Territories, led by Senator Cullom. are fully imbued with the supreme impor'ance ot rcnciiing a final vote at an early date. The policy ot the opposition is now fully outlined. The open effort of 8enator Butler -ill be to defeat the MIL This was hit purpose in the commi tee, and will be the real object of bU fight in open Senate. In fact it is now fully understood in the n-ate and by the country that the only issue involved is between the cattle syndicate, who hold illegal po9essionof Oklahoma, and the peopte who are seeking hornet by the lawful methods provided in the Springer bilL The true friends of the bill in the Senate will vote against all amendment, while those who set its defeat will try to secure the adoption of some frivo ous amendment so that it mint be sent back to the Houe and knowing the chances would be against concurrence under the peculiar rules of that body.

ANOTHKH DISPATCH. Washington, Feb. 19 Jude Allen, with Milt Reynolds and D. P. Drer, of the delegation, were out earl yesterday morning to find that their pet measure would be reported upon by the Committee on Territories, and so it was.

The hill was reported to the Senate without emendment with an accompanying minority report from Senators Piatt and Butler. It is now under way, and the possibility is it will be brought up and passed in the Senate Thursday. It ia learned from the inside that there are certain reasons existing now which will secure its passage, but it would not do at this time to tell all that is known. Enough might be to say that Mr. Springer will bring the thing through if it can be got through at all.

The bill as reported embodies simply a provision of the Indian Appropriation bill authorizing the appointment of a commission of five persons to negotiate with the five civil isd tribes in the Indian Territory for a full and complete cession ot all lands claimed by them in the Ten iiory. No provision is made for throwing a Territorial Governmen. over the Indians to be secured, that being left for a future Congress. The turn of $23,000 is appropriated to pay the expenses of the negotiation commission. T.

A larre batch of unions were presented in the House yesterday, after which, in Committee of the Whole, the Judiciary Committee's Interest bill was discussed at length. The bill, as recommended for pass -age, fixes the legal rate at 6 per cent, or 10 per cent, on contract If more than 12 per cent and less than 15 per cent is charged the lender forfeits all interest and half the princ pal; if more than 23 per cent is charged all the interest and principal is forfeited.

It also provides that when the note sold to a third party the original boriower shall have the same remedy agamst him or against the original loaner.

19. The Seminole Indians have followed the example of their Creek neighbors and ceded to the United States over 2,000,000 acres of land in the Indian Territory, being wl at is known as the west half of the Pottawatomie reservation, the Ok aboma lands lying tetwe the two Canadian rivers, and all that part of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation between the two riveis to the west line of the Indian Territory. The agreement is now in the hands of the President With tha approval of the Crpfk and Seminole cessions by Con gi ess concerning which there is little doubt, a lu u' 5 acres of fertile land hi the heart tf ihe Indian Territory will become a portion of the public domain. The Cherokees, bound hand and foot by the corrupt alliance they h.ive entered into with the cattle syndicate, now stand alone in ther obstin ite refusal to accept the logic of events by following the good example of the Creeks and Semi-noles. There is no doubt that the Cliero-feeei could make an equitable agreement with the Government, by which they would realize $1.25 per acre for the Cherokee outlet.

This is the amount to be given them for the land by the provisions of the Oklahoma II. There is one open question, however, as to the disposition of the proceeds of all that part of the unoccupied outlet east of the Cimarron river. Some of the most eminent lawyers here, who have examined the last treaties with the Cherokees and Cheyennes and Arapahoes aie of the opinion that the last named tribes have the best title to that portion of the outlet, because it was guaranteed to them by treaty stipulations which have never been abrogated. The Cheyennes and Arapahoes occupy their present reservation chiefly by executive order while their right to a home on the Cherokee outlet was secured by treaty. The laches of the Government in not carrying out the treaty in the matter of locating these Indians can hardly impair thuir rights in the outlet Hence it is quite clear it is in the power if not the duty of the Government to pay the Cherokees the appraised value of the land, which was about 47 cents per acre, and retain the balance of the $1 25 for the benefit of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes.
