PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT
Whereas, it has become known to me
that certain evil disposed persons have, with
| in the territory and jurisdiction of the United
States, begun and set on foot preparations fol
organized and forcible possession of and set
tlement upon lands Of what is known as the
| indian Territory, west of the State of Arkan
sas, which territory is designated, recognized
and described by treat;' and laws of the
United States and by executive authority as In
dian country, and rs such is only subject to oc
cupation by1ndian tribes, officers of the Indian
military posts and such persons as may be
privileged to reside and trade therein under
the intercourse laws of the United States; and
whereas, these laws provide for the removal
| OF all persons residing and trading therein
! without the express permission of the Indian
department and agents. and also of all persons
whom such agents may deem to be improper
persons to reside in Indian countries; and,
whereas, in aid and support of such organized
movement it has been represented that no
further action will be taken by the govern
ment to prevent persons from going into said
territory and settle therein, but such repre-
sentations are wholly without authority.
Now therefore, for the purpose of properly
protecting the interests OF the Indian nations
and the trusts as we'll of the United States
in said Indian territory, and Of duly enforcing
the laws governing the same l, Rutherford B.
HAYES, President Of the United States do ad.
monsh and warn all such persons so intrudng
or preparing to remove upon said territory
without permission of a proper agent of the
Indian department., against any attempt to so
remove or settle on any of the lands of said
territory. And l do further warn and notify
any and all such persons who may so
offend that they will be speedily and
Immediately removed therefrom by the
agent, according to the laws made and provid
ed, and that no efforts will be spared to pre-
vent the invasion of said territory, rumors
spread by evil disposed persons to the contrary
Notwithstanding, and, if necessary,the aid and
assistance of the military forces of the United
States will be invoked to carry into proper OK
ecution the laws herein referred to.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal Of the United
States 10 be fixed

ENGLISH GRAIN.
The Mark Lane Erpyess says: The frost
has disappeared and the weather has been
showery since Saturday and some little pro-
gress has been made with field work, which is
still behindhand in some districts. The land
however. is now in good workable condition
n0pvlto l.lati,o t" v;utor wheat GRO
favorable in those districts where it has ap-
peared above surface The damp weather is
unfavorable to treshing. Really dry samples
are practically unobtainable Even fair aver
age lots are rare. Trade, both at Mark
Lane and in the country, has been
exceedingly dali in consequence of this
bad condition. Millers would scarcely look
at English wheat. Last Monday decline of
10 2s per bushel was quoted even on best
parcels, the provincial markets following suit
Dense fogs also seriously interfered with busi-
ness in London. The imports of foreign wheat
into London have been moderate, but at Liv-
erpool arrivals were liberal Last Mondays
decline of a shilling per quarter has not been
recover ed, as the consumptive demand is very
small, but there has been no further reduction
Oats depressed in consequence of large i'm
ports. Maize steady owing chiefly to it's scare
ity on spot As regards speculation for q
rise in America, taking into consideration
the fact that American wheat supplies
is not much, If anything, in excess
of Europe's needs, it is quite probable
that prices may eventually adjust themselves
without great rise or great fall in American
but at present the question seems to be SIM
ply who will hold out longest The arrivals
at ports Of calls have been considerable, though
red winter wheats were very scarce. There
was great depression early in the week, but
since then owing to the advance in America
and the large quantity of wheat taken from
the coast for continental ports, the price
advanced sixpence to one shilling per quarer,
with more demand for the United King
dom and the continent There was q fair
inquiry for maize at an advance of about six
pence per quarter. Buyers show no disposi.
tiou to enter into forward business either for
wheat or maize. Sales of English wheat last
week 37,3l6 quarters at AS I'd per quarter
against 6373S quarters at 35s Id the corres-
ponding week last year. Imports into the
l68,663 cwts. flour.
