The de'egate to the recent Interna-

signed. Among members of Congress
it is believed the President will send a
commission to Brussels to represent this
country when the conference reseni

deavoring to at certain how many conn
tries will be represented at the reaseem

officials who hold to the opinion that the
President will not send another delega

Minister to Belgium to attend the con

Senator Do'ph called upon the Secre
tary of the Interior the other day re
garding the proposed timber reservation
at Ashland, Or. It was nnderstoo.l that
this reservation would be made during
the laat administration, but President
Harrison did not find time to reach it.
Secretary Smith told Senator I'otph
that at present he was unable to do any
thing regarding this reservation and was
too busy reorganizing the department to
give anv time or attention to ttie work
of the department except ttiat of mojt
firessing nature. The necessity for hav
ng the Ashland reservation is said to lie
that the water supply of that town ia
dependent upon Imvinit the timber reser

where the water now cornea from wou'd
probably result in greatly impairing the

When the Senate ratified the treaty
for the ce'sion to the United States of
the Cherokee Strip, there was inserted
therein a clause which provides for the
compensation for the land to be made
in time payments in place of the re
quirement of the government to pay
jcash, as contemplated in the agreement
originally drawn np with the Indians.
This modification of the treaty was not
accepted hv the Indians, but will lie
considered hv their legislative body, the
i Cherokee Council, at a meeting to be
held B'Min. The early 0iening of the
Strip will lie entirely dependent upon
the action of the Council, for. should it
reject the modification ol the treaty
made by the Senate, then it will be nec
essary for the matter to heavain brought
liefore Congress, which would, of course,
Indefinitely delay the opening of the
