It is stated on what appears to be
good authority that the Oklahoma
boomers have at last dispersed and
will no longer remain in camp. This
action on their part is largely the re:
suit Of the action Of the administra-
tion concerning the issue ofleases and
occupancy of the cattle syndicates in
the Indian Territory. The proclama.
lion Of the President meets with uni.
versal favor among the people and has
inspired the greatest confidence, since
1T is evident that the administration
intends to deal with equal fairness by
all classes Of people, and he feels as
4snred that there win be no further
trouble on the border OF the Indian Ter
ritory. tits reported that the admins
tration has a plan for purchasing SO
much Of the Oklahoma country as the
Indians do not need, and Of throwing it
open for settlement upon fair terms. 1t
is represented as the finest agricultural
tract of land in the whole country. 3

nell himself presided, and it was resolved
TO advise all the Home Rule constituencies
to select no candidates without first con
snlting with Mr.. Parnell, and to vote for,
none who would not give pledges to net,
with the party as o unit in parliament. It
was also resolved TINT the candidates
should each sign a pledge to vote and act
with the Parnellites, and to resign if q ma.
jority Of their colleagues so ordered. Adj
dressing q public meeting, Mr. Parnell said:
The triumph Of the Irish cause was as.
cured, whether the Wings or Tories won in
the election. The Tories would dive as

Wings. Let Irish farmers support the
league, and prove that they willjnot ALLOW
landlords to trample BON them during The
ensuing winter. It had been; the leagues

+ Celebration at La Pointe, Wis.

Ashland Special: On Sunday, 23d, there
was q religious celebration at La Pointe
to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary
OF the coming of Bishop Baraga. Father
Frederick Baraga arrived at La Pointe,
July 81, 1885, and commenced the build
ing OF q church. In 1841, the church being
found too small to accommodate the large
congregation of,Indians, half-breeds and
whites, a new and larger church was built
on the asite where it now stands, the old
one being situated near Middle Fort, near
the old French fort OF 171s. The ceiebra-
ton was also to commemorate the twenti-
eth anniversary OF the first foundation OF
this mission by Father Allouez, Dablon
and Marquette, 1865 and 1871, the mis-.
sion then being on the west shore OF Ash.
land bay, near or at Houghton Point. The.
services were very interesting and were at
tended by-many distinguished clergymen-i
Bishop Flash Of La Crosse, Brontbauer OF
Green Bay, Bishop Ireland of St. Paul and
Archbishop Heiss of Milwaukee.

i Judge Israel S. Spencer, widely known
resident OF Syracuse, n Y :, died very sud-
denly in his Office, March 10. He was esti-
mated to be worth $3.50, 900 and held in
trust o large number OF estates. Heleft his
property to his wife, who died very sudden
~ in New York city in June last. Persons
who have had occasion to ascertain the
facts are surprised to find that there is alb
solutely nothing in his, estate and that ut
least $50, 900 OF the estates held in trust by
him cannot be accounted for. About two
years before his death Judge Spencer con-
verified about $50, 900 of real estate in this
city into money and this is nowhere to be
found. It is supposed that unfortunate
ventures in stocks account for. the fact that
he died poor and debtor to the estates
which he held in trust. as A

Parne1l,s Latest P ro6lamstionL.

At the banquet to Mr.. Parnell in Dublin,
a few days ago, loyal toasts! were omit.
ted. Mr.. Parnell eulosized his followers for
their courage and self-denial. He said
there was only one thing On their pro-
gramme, to, restore the Irish parliament.
When the parliament assembled in Dublin,
it would develop the Healy clauses Of the
land act, make tenants owners OF their
holdings, and to secure to laborers q share
in the land. Mr.. Parnell dwelt upon the
Importance Of securing loyal and self-deny-
ing members in the next parliament for the
final BATTLE for home rule, before which he
hopes to pass further remedial measures.
he sketched the tasks Of the Dublin parlia-
ment, which would consist Of q single
chamber. He hoped that the coming party
would be STRONG enough to restore the in
dependence of Ireland. Justin sMcC earthly
presided at the banquet IN Snckville street
an enormous crowd collected and cheered
necessarily during the banquet.
