ting all the votes he can.
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
The senate judiciary committee held
another meeting this morning, and the
nomination of Stanley Matthews was
taken up and discussed. Several mem.
bers of the committee spoke In behalf OF
Matthews, but no vote was taken AT
the next meeting of the committee re-
port against Matthews will probably be
adopted, and his friends say he can he
confirmed over an adverse report. The
indications are that Matthews will be
confirmed, as nearly all the Democratic
senators will vote for him.
The senate judiciary committee to-day
referred the most important pending ju-
dicial nominations to subcommittee.

ruptcy, Ingalls,, Mcmillan and Garland
will soon address letters to gentlemen
familiar with the subject with view OF

be enacted, and
Secondly-To invite practical sugges.
tions as TO the best methods of remedy
ing the defects in former laws relative
TO delay IN the distribution of estates and
the consumption of assets in extravaganza
fees and costs.
The subcommittee are expected to re
port some measure to the full committee
early in December.

Oklahoma-No Freedman Need Apply,

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The atten-
ton of the secretary of the interior was
recently called 10 circular by the Freed
mems Oklahoma ASSOCIATION, of st. Lou
Is, j. Milton Turner, president, and Han
nibal G. Carter, general manager. The
circular promised 160 acres of land to
every freedman who would go and eccu-
py the public lands of Oklahoma. Sec
rotary KirkwOOd at once. referred the
circular to the commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office, who, in his report says
there never has been a period of time
since the acquisition by the United
States of the territory ceeded by France
that any lands embraced within the linn
its OF the present Indian Territory have
been open to settlement or entry by any
person whomsOever under any said public
land law. In one of the Indian treaties,
that with the Seminoles, in March 1866,
about z, 100, 600 acres of land were coded
to the United States to locate other In
dams and freedmen thereon. The freed
men referred to, the commissioner states,
were former slaves of Indian tribes.
Miscellaneous emigration even by in
tended beneflciaries would be unauthor-
lied and illegal.
With reference to the statement con.
tanned in the circular that there are one
hundred aud forty millions of acres OF
public lands in this territory to which
the Indian title has been extinguished
and which await settlement and Occu.
patton by freedmen the United States
commissioner SAYS: at is not true that
there are public lands within the mean
| ing of the public land law. The term
| public lands is sometimes used in a gen
| eral sense to designate lands the title to
| which is in the United States in contra
distinction to lands the private property
| of individual citizens-iands belonging
to the United States, but which have
been appropriated to any special use Oh
reserved for any purpose by act of con
gress or executive proclamation, or with
drawn for disposal by lawful authority
are not public lands in q legal and prop
er sense. Those words are employed Il
define lands subject to disposal TO tn,
public and open to occupation by thu
public"
The report concludes as follows: "Fo
many yeats efforts have been made BY
designing persons to effect an ingress 4
the Indian territory, for the purpose o
despoiling Indians of the patrimony sc
cured them by the most solemn obliga
ton of the United States. These unlaw
full and dangerous efforts have hereto
fore been thWArted by the prompt actor
of the executive under his constitution

emit attempt to make use of the colOreC
people Of the country in the same di
rectiOn deluding them with fictitious as
surAnces that new and cOngenial home
can be provided for them within thi
territory deserves especial reprobation
since its only effect must be to inVolv
innocent people in Q criminal coRspirac,
and 10 subject them to disappointment

The Mississippi Floods.

Quincy, ILL.,, April 27.-Specials to the
Wing from Fall creek, Rockport, and
other points along the levee state that
the river, to-day, is stationary, there hav-
ing been no rise since midnight. The
water is two inches higher than during
the great flood of last year. The crevasse
in the levee is constantly widening, and
all efforts to stop the break has been fu-
tile. The water is spreading over wide
area protected by an embankment, but 1t
is impossible to estimate the damage. A
strip of highly cultivated land, from
three to eight miles wide and nearly
fifty miles long, is already under water,
or is certain to share the general destruc-
ton.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railway track is under water between
Fall creek and Hannibal, and one of the
trestle bridges has been carried away.
The track just below Quincy is also bad
ly washed by high water.
The Mississippi river just below the
city is now over ten miles wide. All the
bottom lands on both sides have been
flooded.
