Tiiere is, however, some iiuestion as to whether the law eonteiiipbdi-s negotiations with the Creeks, Chorbins and Chtckahaws, only a portion of whose lands lie went ol the With degree. If it is decided that it wan the intent of the law not to include these lands, it will reduce the area to be oH'ti(l to settlement to alxmt l, 700, (w acn-s.

Whs Will b Stanley Matthew' Succeuor. Washington siHMjial: The justices of the supreme court seem to agree in the opinion that tho president will select the successor of Stanley Matthews from the circuit court over which ho pre sided, which is comMs::d of Michigan, Kentucky arid Tennessee. If Judge Ooolry was not sixty-five years old he would undoubtedly be cho-n, but the senate has refused to confirm for the bench un v man leyond the ago of sixty, and considering the importance of the circuit and the amount of business lie fore the court, tho president will doubt less select n voting and sturdy man.
