The Story of the Invasion of Indian Ter
ritory Highly Sensational.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE following tele-
grams have been received at the War Depart
ment:
FORT LEAvENwoRTH, KS, July 49,
To 4djutant General United States Army:
Your dispatch of yesterday received. The
sensational reports in the papers about an in
yasion of the Indian territory are without
foundation. Small parties of two or three
men with their families occasionally enter the
territory, misled by such reports, but are
always met and turned back by the troops.
That whole section is thoroughly secured by
the troops, and any invasion of the least con-
sequence l will report at once. 1t is useless
to magnify these reports by any official notice
or action beyond that taken by troops along
the line. Everyone who enters without au-
thority will be put out and such people will
assuredly get tired of going in sooner than the
troops get tired putting them out should
not consider it in any sense expedient to I'M
dergo the expense and trouble of trying such
people. 1t is precisely what they want, and
would certainly result in their being dis
charged from custody. 1 consider the military
force now employed in this service abund antly
able to keep the Indian territory free from un-
lawful intruders. l repeat herewith dis
patch dated yesterday from the officer in COM
mand at Caldwell, who had just returned
is said to have started.
(Signed) JOHN POPE,
Brevet Mai. Gen. Commanding
Just returned from Arkansas City; not one
word of truth in report about the invaders. I
believe Payne went into the Territory east of
Arkansas City about the 10th. Only three
wagons entered and they were en- route to
Texas. This is from reliable information.
Will write you fully by mail this afternoon
(Signed) ROBINSON.

Hon. A. G. Porter's Reasons for Antici-
pating a Republican Victory.
New YORK, July IA Columbus, Ohio,
special says Hon. A. G.. Porter, Republican
candidate for Governor of Indiana, arrived in
this city yesterday Afternoon from Washington,
on his way to Indianapolis, where he opens
the campaign today. Judge Porter stated that
while he could not thus early speak advisedly
as to the election in Indiana, he nevertheless
was happy to say that from all the information
at his command, he regarded the outlook as
most encouraging, and had little doubt as to
the result in October. There were two or three
elements of strength the Republicans held
this year that they had not had for several
years. The Indiana Republicans were united,
whereas for several years there had been dis
cordant elements. The Germans now fully
appreciated the fact that, by and through the
efforts of the Republican party, the currency
OF the country had been placed on a solid basis,
and they looked upon the Democracy with
suspicion, they havinp, less than year ago,
advocated initiation legislation. 1t had now
struck the average Irish voter in Indianapolis
and other places that they were useful to the
Democracy only as voters on election day;
that they have been totally ignored, never be-
ing able to receive the full party vote and sell
dom even nomination for any office. There
was much dissatisfaction among the friends of
Gov. Hendricks, who did not conceal their dis
appointment and chagrin at the treatment he
received at the hands of the Cincinnati con-
vention.

Egypt's Debts-The United States Asked
to Consent to an Adjustment Schame.
New York, July IA Cairo, Egypt, dis
patch says that at the instance of the Europe
an powers the Egyptian government Mon
day demanded of the United States Consul
General categorical answer to tho question
whether the United States will or will
not give Eits adhesion to commission of
liquidation.
The same demand is addressed to Russia,
the United States and Russia being the only
powers which have not yet recognized the
commission. Consul General Fairman cabled
to Washington for instructions, and reply
from the State Department is awaited with
unusual interest, because the formal demand
made by Secretary Evarts last year that the
United Stares should be represented on the
commission was totally disregarded by the
Egyptian government.
By advice of the commission the Khedive
Saturday sent 1926, 900 to the American Con-
sulate to be paid to the Remington arms fac
tory with the payment already made, this be-
ing the indemnity paid by Egypt to the Rem
ingtons fors resembling contract for supplying
arms to the amount of $450,000.

ELECTION DEPUTIES.

An Explanation by the Attorney General
Southern Marshals Expected to En-

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The following ex-
PLANTATION of the Attorney General has been
furnished for publication regarding the state
ment that he has practically decided she will
not authorize the appointment of any special
election deputies in the South at the next cleo
ton except perhaps in Virginia.
''The special election deputies are appointed
by marshals in their respective districts upon
a requisition of citizens in those districts.
They are not appointed by the Attorney Cen
eral nor by any authority from him. While
no proposition has been made for the payment
of these deputies it is expected by the Attor-
ney General that should the proper application
be made to marshals under the circumstances
stated in the statutes, that they will do their
utmost to enforce the election laws. He deems
the claim of such deputies to be hereafter paid
for their services, is clearly recognized by the
statutes.
