The Oklahoma Puzzle

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The Oklahoma
question is being further considered by the ad-
ministration aud Gen. L. Weaves and Hon.
Sidney Clarke representing the settlers here
are earnestly urging immediate action. Il is
probable that a conclusion win be reached in
very short time, possibly 10 morrow, as
the situation in Southern Kansas is consid-
cred critical.
Information received here tonight shows
that the settlers are very much eXasperaied
because the cSttlemen claim the recent ac-
ton of the government leaves them in eI-
elusive possession of the Oklahoma and In
dian territory. The representatives of the
settlers here understand the proclamation to
require the removal Of al cattle syndicztes.

In little more than three weeks Chief
Black will be out with an official annual re-
port of the fire department. The GLOBE
this morning places before its readers brief
and comprehensive review of the work done
by the department from Jan. /, 1885, to
Dec. 1. The department has now been
brought up to such degree of perfection
that the citizens of st. Paul may welt point
to it with pride and defy any other city of
the same size in the United States to excel
it. The amount of property saved from the
flames by the prompt action of the depart
nlent is not easily computed but it surely
runs up into the millions. AS the facilities
for fire protection have increased the dam
aye caused by this stubborn element has
grown corresp0ndingly less. and a careful
computation shows the losses to be $780,
100 less this year than they were last. Be-
low is given table showing each month,
with its losses and the amount of Insurance.:

The fires at which water was unobtain-
able generally occurred in the outskirts of
the city, towards which the water mains
are now aiming, and many of these same
localities will probably be supplied before
this time next year. The strictest disci-
pline is maintained in the department., and
the department drill is held three times a
day throughout the year. The chief has
offered an incentive to his men to do effec-
tive work by promoting members of the
department for meritorious work. At No.
5 engine house hospital has been estab-
lished for the care and treatment of depart
ment horses. which are taken there as soon
as they show the slightest signs of indis-
position. All the houses have been supplied
with brass sliding poles and telephones.
During the year twenty-eight fre-alarm
boxes
HAVE BEEN ADDED
to the fire-alarm system. making eighty in
all, until it now spreads from the center OF
the municipality in every direction.
1t costs about S155, 900 annually to oper-
ate the department. The real and personal
property of the department has an estimated

peals and lots are to be purchased in all
these localities. by committees appointed
by the mayor for that purpose, for the
location of houses and it is probable that
some. if not all of them, will be built next
year. During the past year three new
chemicals two steamers and two new hose
carts have been purchased and three new
houses built at an expense of about $50, 900.
The Firemen's Relief association, for the
benefit of sick and disabled tiremen. has
been organized and has membership of
nearly one hundred, with surplus of
81, 500 in the treasury. 1t has also library
containing over four hundred volumes. Two
firemen have died during the year, one
from natural causes, and the other crushed

They Want No President.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 1O.-The North
American union of Radicals, with head
quarters in this city, has issued memo
rial to congress asking that the constitution

the executive power of the government in
an executive council to be chosen by con-
gress. 1t Is claimed that the president is
king clothed with greater power than any
European sovereign, except the car of Rus
STA. and that the legislative power cannot
enlarge or diminish the executive capacity.
The presidents powers are recited at great
length. and instances of despotic authority
pointed out i'll detail.

ON THE BOOM.
Ipswich a Place For the Capitalist
and the immigrant.

IPSWICH, OAK, Dec. 10.-Ipswich is a
busy. growing town in Dakota. the county
seat of Edmunds county. 1t was plated
in October. 1883, has had a steady growth
since it's birth, and to-day contains about
1000 inhabitants. Ipswich has the largest
trade tributary to it of any town in that ter
ritory, being the distributing point for Ed
munds, Faux, Mcpherson, Mcintosh,
Campbell. Walworth, and portions of En-
mons and Potter counties, for distance Of
100 miles in each direction. Supplies are
furnished these counties entirely from Ups
witch. Being q distributing point for
wheat, competition runs high among buy
ers. and the price paid is from 8 to cents
higher than at other towns on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, west of Minneapo-
lis. making it advantageous for farmers in
selling as well as in buying. The city is
highly favored as place of residence and
for business prospects. 1t is situated on a
level plat of ground sufficiently elevated to
be healthful. The country around is I'M
surpassed for its beauty and fertility and
furnishes, in all directions the most charm
ing views. With well regulated public
schools churches, social, literary and be-
nevolent societies, good hotel accOmmoda-
tions and salubrious climate, and
LARGE RESOURCES
awaiting only to be developed. what more
can be required to make it an inviting place
for the capitalist, the settler or the general
home-seeker?
The soil in this locality is of rich. black
loan, with light tincture of sand. max
ing warm and yet substantial soil Water
is found at a depth of from ten to fifty feet
and is equal to any in the United States.
Ipswich has an artesian well which fur
nishes water supply for the city and fire
protection.
Seventy per cent. of all the valuable
lands in Dakota opened for settlement are
reached via Ipswich, the nearest railroad
point and the only railroad station south
of the Northern Pacific railroad. near
which homesteads, pre-e mptions and tree
claims can be obtained from the govern
ment free. When it is considered that
nearly all of the valuable government lands
open for settlement are only to be reached
by way of Ipswich, it becomes evident
that Ipswich will boom as no other Dakota
town has before, when emigration COM
mences its westward course in the early
spring.

There are peeuliarities in the official and

are all strictly veracious one of the newer

coroner discovered the fact and also discov-
cred that the coal dump was not locked or

could squeeze through. which he did, and
found the sheriff secreted in CELL He got

Canal From Big stone TO Traverse.

There IS good deal OF interest feIt in the
proposition to dig canal across the PENN
sula dividing Lakes Big Stone and Tray
erse, with the improvement of the navi-
cation of the Red river Emaking a route
from Big Stone to Hudson bay. The
towns along the route will probably bring a
strong pressure to bear upon congress to
appropriate liberal sum for the purpose.
1t is hardly expected that the full amount
of the estimated cost, $500, 1000, will be OBJ
tanned.
