CHIEFS IN CONTROL OF INDIAN

Representatives of the Five Civilized

Pleasant Porter Selected Chairman.
Muskogee, 1. T., Aug. 22. The chief
taincy of tho llvo civilized tribes met
hire in convention to declare for Hep
urate istaii'hood for liullun territory,
abli d and abetted by white residents
ot tho Indian tetiltory who, for both
IjiisIiuss and bcutluietitu? reasons, nru
ofipoi.cd to a union with Oklahoma.
This 1-j the lliht tlmo tho tribal citi
zens ol the I ml luu teirltory ever ur
Hctiibled lor the purpose of notifying
that they are leady for statehood.
Loaders In this aepurato statehood
convention say privately that while
they would prol'er separate statehood,
yel they believe that only joint stutc
hood will Im given to the two terri
tories. This convention was called
to tutike and adopt a stutc constitu
tion, it Is ptuhublo that the actual
wuik will be delegated to a commit
tee uuthurl.eil to submit the constitu
tion to the peoplo for ratification. Tho
convention will declore for prohi
bition, which may be submitted us nn
Issue sopuijto from tho constitution,
but at tlm sumo time.

they at once set at lost the htorles
that, hud been circulated to the of
focr that the Pennington's bollcis,
and peihujis those of other naval vev
Bids of tho same age, were defective.
As a miittir of fact the court found
tho explosion resulted from tho clog
ging of a valve which connected the
exploded holler with Its steutn gunge,
so that tho pressure on the boiler may
have been several bundled pounds to
the (-quuro inch when tho accident oc
culted. Tl.o eouit Is also ol the opin
ion that I). N. Holland, a niotmui on
duty, hud made tho mistake of shut
ting off the valve. The court further
finds that ICtifilgn Charles I). Wade of
the engineer dcpuitmout of the ship
was at fault In falling to see that tho
steam valves and snfety valves wero
overhauled at the pioper time and
kept In good order, having accepted
the verbal statements ol suhotdinatea
that this hud been done in March. It
Is dear that he was negligent In tho

president of the (Jutted States Is able
to prevent a complete collapse of the

to persuade the belligerents to send

tallute tenialtis In suspense. No di
rect leply to the presl.li nt'ii piopo
bltlon coinuiunhated h M. Wltte has
tome item limpeior Nicholas, but oth
er advices lecehed from St. Peters
buig Indicate that tho emperor and
his councilors nro unshaken In their
dotot initiation neither to cede terrl
toty nor pay war tribute. What tho
picslitetit It. doing on tho Jnpancso
side leniulns a.i deep a mystery as
ever. Little light Is shed upon tho
visits of Union Kaneko to Oyster Day.
The Jnpunesi' do not eveu admit that
he Is their medium of communication
with tho president. Thoy go no fur
ther than to relteiato that Mr. Hoose
velt understands their position and
thut they hnvo tho fullest confidence
In him. They show not the slightest
Indication that they have In any wlso
hanged their position or nto pre
paied to yield more than they wero
last Friday, when tho plenipoten
tiaries adjourned until this afternoon.
If M. Wltto does not receive fiesh
Instructions before 8 o'clock this uft
etnoon, when tho conferenco Is re
fuunod, (ho situation will be exactly
what It was beforo the adjournment
was taken on Friday. It will be sato
to assume that In the absence or such
a reply the conference will be pro
longed after today, and every delay,
In the opinion of tho president's
friends, means hope, faint though It
be. Mr. Itoosevelt's object was de
scilhed as being to "prolong the nego
tiations." Thite Is warrant for the stntenient
that M. Wltte personally sympathizes
with the piesldent's pioposltlon, no
matter how it mny be rogurdod by hla
imperial master and his ml visors. It
is a mlntnko to suppose that In con
fildoilng; such a proposition the em
peror consults n regularly ordained
council Thioiighout tho conferenco
he has boon calling In council Bitch
ndvlseis as ho deemed wise, r.nme of
his lelatlves, the giand dukes, mem

vois tho continuation of the war. Tho
spit it of all tho advices received has
been sin h as to almost prochtdo hopo

Among the Japanese no note (,f

luctance they seem almost leslgned to
the shlpivieck of the conference.
They dot lam that their position Is
