interview with Attorney General Garland
yesterday. Their visit was occasioned by
the receipt of telegram informing them of
the arrest-at Atchison City, Kan, of fifty
seven colonists for pretended ofrenses.
The gentlemen named, representing the
colonists, acquainted Mr.. Garland with the
exact condition of affairs in Oklahoma and
with the character Of the influences which
prompted the late Administration to use
the Army to Cypress the people who are
seeking homes in that country. The At
torney. General was found fully alive to the
situation and greatly interested. Mr..

vent the arrest of the law-abiding colonists

being dragged from their homes.
The Attorney General replied that the
matter was now the subject Of consideration
by the Cabinet, and that 1t would be con-
sidered again at the Cabinet meeting to-
morrow,
