THE Move ON OKLAHoMA.-A telegram from
CaidW ell. hab., Dec. g. says: Harry L. Hill,
chief OF scouts OF the Oklahoma colony, ana
Col Thomas ID. Craddock. general manager
who went into the Territory on the Suh inst,
having thanked the military at Arkansas City.
came into camp to-day. They were gone ii
days, and secuted up the north fork or Canadian
river and over to the south fork They say the
Territory has been full OF people. They met &C
the appointed rendezvous over 80 wagons
concealed from scouts, waiting for Capt.
Payne. who would have Joined him as
be reached the town site. They report
that hundreds OF claims have Deen taken
aud foundations for houses built on them.
Most of the emigrants they met were from
Texas, Arkansas and the ChickaSaw Nation.
Most Of the colonfstS have gone 10 their homes
TO spend Christmas, only about 100 remaining
in camp. Six inches OF snow fell last night Infiu-
entail parties have urged the coloniSJS TO break
up camp and await congressional action, but
they VIII not. The Commercial, OF this place,
comes out in an editorial 10 day 0enouncing the
Post and CaU, the opposition press or the state,
as working In The interest or Jay Gould TO pre-
vent the opening OF the territory SO other roads
can reach Texas and the Gulf ports, and thus
forcing all business over Goulds roads. The
question is being bitterly discussed pro and con
by the press or the state. Captain j. NJ. Steele,
OF Wichita, prominent candidate for governor
before the last state convention and president
or the Oklahoma Town Company, says that he
will force the issue into Kansas politics. Farm
ers n this locality not connected with the move
ment favor the opening.
