SUCCESSION TO TIE PRESIDENCY

in the event Of tho death, disability or re-
moval Of both the president and vice presi-
dent, Is such as TO require immediate amend
ment. This subject has repeatedly been con-
sdered by congress, but no result has been
reached. The recent lamentable death Of tho
vice president, and vacancies mt the same
time in all other offices, the incumhcnts OF
which might Immediately exercise the fnnc-
tons of the presidential office, has caused
public anxiety, and just demand tina. a
recurrence Of such a condition of affairs
should not be permitted.
LII conclusion I commend to the wise and
thoughtful attention of congress the needs,
the welfare and cooperation of an intelligent
and generous nation. To subordinate these

Washington Railroad Facilities.

My attention Is called to a controversy
which has arisen from the condition Of the
law relating to railroad facilities in the city
Of Washington, which has involved the conn
missioners of the district IN much annoyance
and trouble. l hope the difficulty will be
promptly settled by appropriate legislation.
The commissioners represent that enough
OF the revenues OF the district arc now on
to repay tho sum advanced by the govern
Of June 30. 1854. They desire now All adj
vance OF tho share. which ultimately should
DO borne BY the district, OF the cost OF extern
sive improvements to tho streets OF the city.
The total expense of these

IS estimated ut 81, OOO.GOO, and they are Of the
opinion that considerable sum could be
saved II they had all the money in hand, SO
that contracts for the whole work could be
made ut the same time. They express con-
fidence that IL the advance asked for should

burscd within reasonable time. /

be made much cheaper il undertaken to-

Death OF a Notable Woman.
INeir OrleGna Picnnnlie.l


Madame Fanny Duchaufour, who died Mon
day, nearly 80 years Old at the time Of her de-
mise, was notable figure in New Orleans for
more than half century. She was daugh-
ter of DR.. Gsrdette, of Philadelphia, who came
to America in 1880 with French expedition.
Nine DuchaufOur was born of DIR. Gardette's 5
first wife. The second was Iulne Carrere,
mother of Myra Clark Gaines, who was eonse-
quently step-sister of the deceased, but some
10 years younger The deceased was three
times married, her first husband being Mr.. De-
launay, the second Mr.. lie Roy, and the third
Mr. Duchaufour, a musician at the St. Charles
Theatre, all of whom are long since dead
Mime Duchaufour had quite al eventful ca
reer, residing at times in Philadelphia, Nash
Vile. and New Orleans. In her youth she was
beautiful and accomplished, and retained even
in old age remarkable intelligence. and vi
vacity. 1t is said that she knew really moro
of Mrs. Gaines's true relationship TO Daniel
Clark than has come to light.

THE BIG STRIKE.
Militia Sent 20 Scdalia to Guard Against Violence
Railroads RlOckaded.


The strike Of the employees of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad is one of the largest and best
organized movements of the kind that has
occurred in this country for many years. At
Sedaia, Mo, the strike has caused an almost
complete suspension of business The strikers
have manifested no disposition TO destroy prop
erty. They are embttered because 80 Pinker-
ton detectives have arrived, who are hired by
the railroad company. Adj't-Gen. Jameson had
conference with the strikers during the
week and informed them that they must not
prevent trains from moving. The pay car ar
rived on the 10th inst, but the strikers refused
to receive their wages, because, they said, that
would sever their connection with the road.
and, besides, the car was not due for five days.
The report that the militia are coming from
St Louis aggravates the situation. Ii is said
the militia will be halted at jefferson City un-
til the Governor receives report from Adj t.
Gen jameson at Sedalia.
There are now over 20 engines in the round
house aud yard there which have been cmbar-
COED by the strikers and over 10 miles of loaded
freight cars on the side tracks. No passenger
trains have yet been stopped.
At Moberly, Mo, the strikers are just as de-
termined and refuse to go to work until the
former rate OF wages is restored TO every work
man OH the entire Wabash system.
At Kansas City the strikers will not permit
freight trains to leave. and ut Fort Wayne and
Dallas a similar condition of affairs exists.
Just before going to press, and since the
above was written, news comes that the rail-
roads have yielded TO the demands Of the men,
and that the running OF the trains and work
generally will recommcnce at once.

THE OKLAHOMA LANDS.
Proclamation by the President Warning Settlers
from the Territory,

The trouble in regard to the portion Of the
Indian Territory known as the Oklahoma
lands seems to be thickening About 1900
Boomers are encamped in Kansas near the Ter
ritory border aud United States troops under
Gen. Hatch are stationed in the Territory and
prepared to drive out any settlers who may
attempt to cross the line. 1t was said t,at the
impression prevailed among those Who coHtem-
plated an invasion of the Territory that Presi-
dent Arthur's proclamation relative TO tres
passing upon the Indian lands had become
imperative with the close of his administration,
and il was thought best that President Cieve
land should issue proclamation similar 10 that
which was issued while Mr.. Arthur was Chief
Executive. The following proclamation was
accordingly issued by the President:
Whereas, il is alleged that certain individuals
associations of persons and corporations are IN the
unauthorized possession of portions Of the territory
known as the Oklahoma lands within the Indian
Territory, which are designated and recognized by
the treaties and laws OF the United States ana by
the executive authority thereof "a Indian lands :;
and whereas, IL is further alleged that certain
other persons associar ions within the territory
and jurisdiction of the United States have begun
preparations for organized and forcbe entry
and settlement upon the aforesaid lands and are
now threatening such entry and occlpation: and
Whereas the laws OF the United States provide for
the removal Of all persons residing being found
upon such Indian lands and territory without per-
mission expressly and legally obtained of the In
terror Departments:
Now, therefore, /, Grover Cleveland. President
Of the United States, do hereby warn and aimonish
NIL ana every person or persons now in the occupa
tion ofsu'h lands aud all such person pensons
are intending, preparing or threatening TO enter
and settle upon the same that they will neither be
permitted TO enter upon said territory nor II al
ready there TO remain thereon; and if this ad
montion and warning be not sufficient TO effect the
purposes and intentions of the Government
herein declared the military power of the United
States Will he invoked TO abate all such unauthor-
lied possession, TO prcvcn: such threatened entry
and occupation, and to remove all such intrudcrs
from the Indian lands. In testimony whereof,
have hcreunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United states to be affixed.
